Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 18 A Different Lantern
Now Ban Lu does not have any hope to take this opportunity to reach another level in front of the emperor, after all, her cultural background cannot be compared with that of Concubine Xi.She is a little court lady, and she doesn't know much at all. Although she has been taught by someone sent by Concubine Qing in the past few days, it is only a superficial skill, and she cannot cope with such a big scene at all.

Banlu kept wandering around in front of the lanterns, hoping to find a question that he could answer but was not too difficult, so that he would have a step to go down without being laughed at.However, today's question is really tricky, and most of the half-greens have never heard or seen anything.

Seeing that Banlu was hesitating in front of the lantern, the queen laughed in her heart. A servant is worthy of a foothold in the palace, but she is just a clown.

"Your Majesty, it's been a while since the selection of green talents, and they probably have chosen a good topic. Why don't you share it with us." The queen hated the people trained by Concubine Qing, and she would not let go of anyone who could. Opportunity to suppress.

"That's fine, green talent, you can just read the topic you have chosen." The emperor said calmly on the dragon chair.

Concubine Qing originally planned to delay the green talent for a while. After all, she was the one who brought her up, and she couldn't lose face when she participated in such a formal occasion for the first time. The green talent is asking for blessings, but he cursed the queen thousands of times in his heart
After hearing the emperor's order, the green talent couldn't help being slightly startled, and suddenly panicked. These questions are so weird, no matter which one she can't guarantee 100% correct.

Forced to be helpless, Banlu had to choose a lantern that looked more prosperous in a hurry. The lantern of the unit could bless her to pass the banquet smoothly. She must hurry up and learn more knowledge from the teacher!

"Today is a big day, and my concubine chose a prosperous lantern, hoping that I will have a good harvest in the coming year." The green talent quickly entered the state, and a few auspicious words came out smoothly.

"The topic chosen by the concubine is 'To be richer, to reach a higher level'." Banlu chose for a long time and felt a little familiar with this topic.

This "desire to be poor for a thousand miles" should mean seeing far away, and this "going to a higher level" is also a good metaphor. Banlu feels that she has used everything she has learned in her life, but I am not sure Don't mind your own guesses!Just leave it to fate!

"My concubine guesses that this is 'foresight'. I wonder if my concubine's guess is correct?" Banlu raised her head and looked at the emperor tremblingly, as if asking for advice. She couldn't get angry no matter how hard she looked at it. After speaking, I feel that my brain is not enough.

"That's right, that's the answer. Concubine Concubine Xi has a heart, and she still wants to think about the common people in the world. Reward!" Although he could hear half-green hesitation, not very confident, and not as good as his Concubine Xi, the emperor still compared Satisfied with Half Green's performance.

"That's right, Your Majesty, the green talent has really taken a lot of trouble. It's really gratifying to think of a lantern riddle for the sake of the people!" Concubine Qing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the half-green blind cat met a dead mouse and guessed right. Otherwise, she would be suppressed like this after working so hard to cultivate such a slave. They will all be sent to the emperor, and she will be speechless at that time.Banlu also exhaled secretly, no need to go back to the cold palace
The next thing is to guess riddles with the princes and grandchildren. Quan Xiaoli is not interested in these activities at all, and usually stays on the sidelines. Today, somehow, he is in a good mood to participate in it.

"Brother, I heard that you like to guess riddles on weekdays. Today is the Lantern Festival banquet. Why don't my brothers come and compete with each other?" Quan Xiaoli said calmly, not paying attention to this matter at all. Perhaps what attracted his attention more was the row of He had no choice but to find an excuse to cover up the row of lanterns.

The eldest prince Quan Langyuan was also surprised. Prince Quan Xiaoli didn't like to participate in such activities, but tonight he asked him to talk about learning. He usually likes to guess lantern riddles, but how can he compare to Quan Xiaoli, a pervert? ?Everything is easy to understand, natural talent
"Second brother, why are you so interested in guessing lantern riddles? Brother Wang, why don't you remember that you had such a hobby?" Quan Langyuan didn't think that Quan Xiaoli just wanted to learn from him because he usually had a lot of time to learn from him. Why not? want now?Quan Langyuan still hoped to ask one or two questions.

"Just now I paid attention to guessing lantern riddles, why, elder brother has an opinion?" Quan Xiaoli said lightly.

Quan Langyuan couldn't find anything to ask, and without changing the gentle smile on his face, he agreed to Quan Xiaoli.

The prince and the eldest prince seemed to be good brothers towards the lantern stand, but both of them had their own thoughts, until a fragrance around the lampstand permeated them. It was such a fresh fragrance, not like the intoxicating scent of the sachet in the palace, but it was very refreshing. Feeling comfortable, Quan Xiaoli touched the lantern caressingly. The paper of this lantern is not as rough as usual, but more delicate to the touch.

Ah!Quan Xiaoli suddenly thought of something, who else could have such a novel idea except Que Ruoyu, Quan Xiaoli somehow was very sure that it was Que Ruoyu's idea, or it was her idea, no wonder he was watching from his seat This year's lanterns are a bit different, and he couldn't tell what was different, so he could only use the eldest prince Quan Langyuan as an excuse to come up to find out.

Sure enough, let him find out!What is this little girl going to do?Quan Xiaoli is now very interested in Que Ruoyu's plan. If the flower last time was to win a jackpot, then what is the big plan this time?
"Big brother, I am willing to bow down, but the second brother is still superior. This king admits defeat." Quan Langyuan silently blushed, and asked him to fight against Quan Xiaoli, a pervert. In all likelihood, he would have to lose.
"Brother has accepted." Quan Xiaoli smiled evilly at Quan Langyuan, which was regarded as thanks for Quan Langyuan's company.

Quan Langyuan felt chills down his spine, damn it, can he not look at the prince like this?How come there is a feeling of being calculated.
Quan Xiaoli turned a blind eye to Quan Langyuan's resentment, and turned to the emperor Quan Jinghui, "Father, my son sees that the lanterns are made of unique materials and fresh in style. I wonder who prepared the lanterns this year?" caught the emperor's attention.

"Oh? Why is it so novel, the crown prince might come and hear it?" The emperor expressed something that Quan Xiaoli admired.

"The material of this year's lantern is not as rough as in previous years, but more delicate. The people who make the lantern are not worried. The paper is too fine to write on. Moreover, the fragrance of this lantern is very unique. It seems that there is no Any scent, if you ask it closely, you can also find that the scent seems to be absent, refreshing." Quan Xiaoli said as if intoxicated by it.

Under Quan Xiaoli's explanation, everyone seemed to really see the soft and delicate material of the lantern, and asked about the faint fragrance.

At this time, the slaves around the emperor also handed over a lantern to the emperor at the right time. The emperor took the lantern to look inside, and then handed it to the queen next to him.

"As the crown prince said, I also think the design of this lantern is ingenious." The emperor nodded appreciatively, and the queen watched the lantern for a while, thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers also think that this lantern is really different from the ones they see in ordinary times! I wonder who made it?" Seeing that the emperor loved it so much, the queen also showed corresponding curiosity.
