Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 215

"No, I've decided. You have to guess this riddle yourself. When you guess it, you can give me an answer!"

The emperor had a bad taste, and he refused to say anything, making a group of princes and ministers hold their heads and think hard.

What the imperial concubine sent was a riddle that she had seen before and was said to be difficult. The riddle was also uttered by the person who solved the mystery at the beginning, which can be regarded as stumping a group of people.

Not only that, but the imperial concubine also made a pair: smoke locks willows in the pond, so that the emperor and princes and ministers can match the second couplet.

Absolutely, is the imperial concubine planning to make all the princes and ministers sleep well today?The previous riddles had made them think hard, and the current pair was even more of a headache for everyone.

The emperor looked at the pair, but he didn't have the correct answer. The person sent by the imperial concubine heard that the imperial concubine asked the emperor to match it himself, and the answer would be announced a month later.

As for why Shuning suddenly thought of embarrassing the emperor and princes and ministers, is it so difficult that she will tell you that she is upset?In ancient Chinese New Year, apart from banquets, there were theaters, both of which she didn't like.What's more, she still has one in her stomach this year, so everyone who can push the banquet will be pushed, and those who can't will leave early.

In such a boring situation, Shu Ning wanted to write a newspaper.

So the emperor and the princes and ministers were out of luck.

Hmph, although I don't have much ink in my stomach, I can't stand it. I lived in an era of information explosion in my previous life. Only you can't think of it, and there is nothing you can't find on the Internet.I checked it out out of curiosity, so I just remembered it.

After hiding it for more than ten years and not revealing it, this time it was finally brought out to shock these pretentious princes and ministers. Of course, the emperor was also stumped.

"Aifei, you really don't want to tell me?"

The emperor was sitting next to Shu Ning, today was the Lantern Festival, he was supposed to rest in Qifeng Palace, but the pair made the emperor feel like a cat scratching his heart, itching and uncomfortable.He sent someone to talk to the queen, and brought them to Changning Palace.

"No, the answer will be announced after talking for a month."

Shuning avoided the emperor's hand pinching her face, and refused to say anything.

"My concubine, I can't sleep!"

If the pair can't be untied, he won't be able to sleep well at night.Although I thought about several answers in my mind, I still felt that they were not good enough.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it. It's still not enough for the emperor to ask again."

Shu Ning pulled the quilt over her head, not to mention beating her to death.

Seeing this, the emperor lay down beside her helplessly, thinking while sleeping, and fell asleep soon after.

Liar, said he couldn't sleep!
Shuning pulled down the quilt and rolled her eyes.

But looking at the dark shadows under the emperor's eyes, he sighed, twisted the quilt for him, and fell asleep beside the emperor.

Because the imperial concubine refused to say even if she was beaten to death, in the following month, many princes and ministers gathered together whenever they had time to think about the answer.Although they thought a lot like the emperor, they were always not perfect and felt that something was missing.

A month later, without the emperor's voice, the ministers began to submit papers. When will the imperial concubine announce the answer?Although they didn't want to admit it, they had to say that the pair of imperial concubine really stumped all the men in the world.

This pairing was spread after the Lantern Festival, and talented scholars outside the palace also gathered in twos and threes to think about the answer.Originally their thinking was: "You must never lose to a woman, even if she is a noble concubine."

But in the end, the women had seen enough good shows this month.

Those gifted scholars who don't think about eating and drinking for this pair made a lot of jokes, such as feeding rice to their noses, hitting a tree while walking, and stepping on the ground when they went out.

Anyway, the women had a very happy time this month, and a gloom in their hearts dissipated.

These men have always been the only ones who look down on women. Today, the feeling of getting revenge for a big revenge makes women all over the world relieve their anger.

The queen also curiously asked Shuning what the answer was, but Shuning smiled and said nothing.The queen mother laughed and pointed at her as being naughty, even the emperor and princes and ministers dared to punish her.

Of course, there were quite a few people who asked for answers, some asked explicitly, some hinted, anyway, after a month, Shu Ning could collect a hundred answers just from those inquiries.

The answer lies in a court meeting, and the imperial concubine was brought over by someone.With a wave of his imperial pen, the emperor wrote down the answer and had it hung on the gate outside the palace.

Soon, the answer spread throughout the capital.

"Wonderful!"

Many literati slapped their thighs, and the answer given by the imperial concubine was more neat and perfect than they thought.

Can it be bad?Absolutely through the ages~

Shu Ning sat calmly in the main hall and drank the soup. What Ji University student came up with was a perfect answer that suddenly appeared one day in later generations. No one came out for hundreds of years, but it was only a month for these people to think about it.

"Is this pair conceived by the imperial concubine?"

When the concubine came to pay her respects to the noble concubine, a Chang Zai asked curiously.

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Shuning put down the tea bowl and looked at her coldly.
Although Chang Zai pretended to be very good, her eyes betrayed her.A Chang Zai who dare not look directly at her, only dare to look left and right, actually wants to embarrass her?

"concubine……"

The imperial concubine's rhetorical question left Chang Zai speechless.

How to answer this?The imperial concubine's face seemed ugly, her indifferent eyes showed no emotion, Chang Zai retreated quietly.

"I can tell you that this pair is indeed not what I thought of, but no matter whether it is my own idea or not, I have indeed stumped the world. This is an indisputable fact."

Shu Ning stood up, supported Nanny Bai's hand and left.

The concubine's merciless words made it very embarrassing for the constant presence. Fortunately, in the harem, everyone has the habit of sweeping the snow in front of the door. After she returns to her residence, she closes the door to thank the guests, so she doesn't have to face everyone's meaningful eyes. .

How can a noble concubine be easy to bully? In this harem, the one who really got cheap in front of the noble concubine has not yet been born!The imperial concubine's mouth is sharper than a knife.

The conversation in Changning Palace spread quickly, and the men all over the world breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the imperial concubine did not think of it.But soon he became confused again, since the imperial concubine didn't think of it, then who is the person who made this pair?
Just judging from the pair he played, this person must be knowledgeable and talented.But there is no news of this person in this world, and no one has come forward and said that he sent it.

It's not like no one wanted to stand up and say that this pair was made by themselves, but many people were seen through by the people around them before it spread.What's more, the imperial concubine also told the emperor afterwards that this person was dead, and she saw it in an ancient book, so those who wanted to pretend to be the one stopped.
