Chapter 249 A Thousand Zhang Banquet (5)
Yongle nodded.

A group of unmarried women walked out of the banquet, and in front of the Empress Dowager, Empress Wanli, began to write inscriptions on the small lanterns prepared in the palace and signed them.Whoever writes it first will hand it over to the eunuch first.The eunuch lined up the lanterns one by one, announced the questions in public, and anyone at the table could answer.Those who answer correctly can get different degrees of rewards according to the difficulty of the questions.It seems that the rewards are very rich.

Yongle wrote word by word slowly, Li Min told her the question, with her wisdom, she couldn't guess the answer, only knew that it was difficult to memorize the question, and she was afraid that Li Min might make a mistake. What she said, she kept repeating in her heart, writing each stroke carefully, fearing that a wrong stroke would make a joke.

No one in the field paid attention to the little chubby girl. They all knew that Princess Yongle had no advantages except being fat.

When it seemed that there was a strong wind blowing around her, Yong Le was startled and looked up, only to find that she was the only one left on the scene who hadn't finished writing.

There was continuous laughter underneath.

Concubine Lu's face darkened, thinking whether her daughter was stupid or not, since she didn't know how to write something simple, it was better than leaving it to the end to embarrass herself.

"Hasn't the princess been enlightened yet?" Sun Hongyan, the fifth young lady who had tripped Yongle at Qing's house in Guanglu Temple last time, hugged her best friend's shoulder and was overjoyed.As long as this group of ladies saw Yongle's stupid appearance, they couldn't help but want to laugh from head to toe, wishing that Yongle would make a fool of himself forever.

In their view, Yongle has only one fate to make a fool of himself.

Li Ying picked up the silk handkerchief, and followed the group of people to gently cover the corners of Wei Yang's mouth.Unexpectedly, someone's eyes on the stage had locked on the skirt she was wearing.

The Queen Mother was puzzled, how could someone wear satin that was exactly the same as her piece of calico.Obviously the weaving department said, there is only one.Didn't she give this calico to Li Min?Why is Li Ying wearing it?Did Li Min wear it?
Li Min glanced at the expression on the Empress Dowager's face, and knew that someone was about to fall.

She really didn't know what to say about her eldest sister, she was obviously such a smart person, if she wanted to say it, she could only say that it was Li Ying, who was a younger sister, who was too capable of throwing dirty water on her elder sister.

Li Hua didn't know that this matter had been ruined. After all, she was of a low status and could not see the front when sitting in the back.

On the opposite side, in the prince's seat, Zhu Ji saw the moment when Li Min's eyebrows were raised, and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, does Princess Li know something that others don't?" Eleventh Lord Zhu Qi saw his expression and asked him with a smile.

Zhu Ji put away his smile and whispered to him, "Don't ruin his good deeds."

"I just thought, Brother Ba, you helped her so much, but it was all her husband's favor." Zhu Qi pouted.Always feel that one thing is one thing.For Zhu Ji's gang, the gains outweigh the losses.The members of the gang became Zhu Li, and Zhu Li would not even think about repaying his old eighth's love.

Zhu Ji lowered his eyes: "It's just an early release. The emperor doesn't really want to hinder the delivery of food and grass. After all, if something happens to the frontier guards, the emperor doesn't want to."

Knowing that he was speaking for Li Min, Zhu Qi curled her lips: "Brother, don't forget, she is from King Li."

How could he forget this?

However, what he thought, I believe, was the same as what the third child thought.Can a woman with her character really bear what happened next?Maybe by that time, she will be able to see more clearly who is the most suitable for her.

Yongle hastily signed his name, handed over the lantern, and bowed his head to apologize to the long-waiting emperor and empress dowager.

The queen mother looked at her, but she didn't usually hate this little fat girl. After all, she was a child related to the royal family. She nodded gently: "It's just a game. You don't have to worry about winning or losing. The princess will do her best. The Ai family and the emperor and queen are all watching."

Yongle breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about this embarrassment, it was a big shame, next, there is nothing more embarrassing than this.There is no need to worry about it anymore, so my heart calms down and I return to my seat.

According to the order in which the lanterns were placed, the eunuch read the questions to the empress dowager and all the ministers. According to the rules, after reading the questions and the answers were revealed, they reported the identity of the questioner.

The first question is: "A bow and arrow."

At the beginning of answering the question, since it was the first question, everyone hadn't come to their senses to grab the question. Master Wanli said first: "This is simple. I will answer it. The answer is one word 'bomb'."

The ministers came to their senses, but they didn't know whether to shout long live or not.Because, this question is really not difficult.

Suddenly there was an embarrassing silence in the arena.Master Wanli felt embarrassed himself, so he picked up his wine glass to cover his stubble.

The empress was the first to find the words, and she jokingly said to Lord Wanli: "Your Majesty, if you rob the topic like this, the queen mother's rewards are all given to your grandson. Are you robbing your son's rewards?"

Master Wanli hurriedly followed the queen's words and nodded: "I will not rob you in the future, and I will leave all the questions tonight to the queen mother's grandsons to answer."

The queen mother was satisfied with the harmonious atmosphere between Lord Wanli and the queen, and asked the eunuch, "Who made the question?"

"Fifth Miss of the Qing Family of Guanglu Temple."

Sun Hongyan stood up when she heard the sound, and walked around in a dignified manner.

Knowing that she is a relative of the queen's family, the queen mother smiled and said, "Yes, I have the courage to be the first one. The reward from the Ai family is not given to the emperor, but to you."

Sun Hongyan almost jumped up in joy, and knelt down to be grateful: "My daughter-in-law wish the Queen Mother a long and boundless life."

Master Wanli seemed to curl his lips, not very happy that his gift was robbed.

The second question does not look difficult, it is called: "The rising sun rises into the sky."

Soon, someone rushed to answer: "Nine."

This question then reveals the identity of the questioner, and it is the question posed by the Seventh Princess.The Seventh Princess is eleven this year, not too old or too young.

Lord Wanli felt that this question was too easy to solve, and did not fit the status of a royal princess, so he said with emotion: "As for my princesses, there is no doubt that the talent of the fourth princess is the one that wins my heart the most, but it is a pity that it is someone else's." daughter-in-law."

The members of the fourth son-in-law's family hurriedly stood up in fear.

Princess Fule is a well-known talented woman in the palace. She is best at conversing poems and making lantern riddles. For Fule, it is really not difficult.

Read the questions one by one. It may be that the questions given by the woman are a little simpler. Many questions are easy and have already been solved in the first round.After listening to the rest, Master Wanli felt that the seventh princess of his family was not really too inferior, and his complexion was slightly better.But who will win tonight's championship?
Seeing that this question got to the back, it became more difficult.It seems that masters like to hide behind.

The atmosphere in the arena is getting higher and higher.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites read: "The year is in the beginning, and it is an idiom."

In the first round, some people raised their hands and failed to answer.
