National Beauty

On the night of the fifteenth, a silver moon hung high in the sky, and the night was cold and windy, and it seemed that the bright moon was rounder and brighter.

Under the moonlight, the imperial garden has ten steps and one light. The garden path is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. Unconsciously, it becomes Princess Duanhui and Tingfang walking in the front, Lanfang and Lanfang in the middle, and Song Jianing and Zhao Heng behind. With the future emperor next to him, Song Jianing was so excited that he didn't feel cold anymore, holding the heater in both hands, staring at each other, but didn't dare to look above Zhao Heng's belt.

Before the first lantern after the competition started, there was still a walk. Princess Duanhui and Ting Fang stopped to avoid suspicion, and the four of Song Jianing naturally stopped. Princess Duanhui’s grand palace girl Aquarius and Zhao Heng’s attendant **** Fu Gonggong walked over. They stood side by side under the lamp, and Fu Gonggong supervised them. Aquarius was in charge of reciting the question: "At the end of the year, there is no shortage of fish and rice. word."

Princess Duanhui raised her head to meditate, and the three girls of the Guo family also had their own attitudes, trying to solve the problem.

Zhao Heng lowered his eyes and saw Song Jianing holding the small copper heater, tilting his head thoughtfully towards him. When his eyes met unexpectedly, Zhao Hengzheng hesitated to remind her, but Song Jianing retracted his head like a scald, her delicate face was almost completely hidden by the fox fur on the collar, and at the same time, Princess Duanhui, who had been reminded by Ting Fang, was happily The answer was reported: "Squama, the scale of the fish scale!"

Baozhu smiled and nodded, and Father Fu made a note on the ledger.

After Fugongji finished, Song Jianing had just realized why the mystery was scales, and nodded solemnly.

Zhao Heng turned his head and looked at one side.

Everyone continued to move forward, and the second riddle came: "Bottomless pit, hit an idiom."

As soon as Baozhu's voice fell, the third girl Yunfang immediately raised her hand and reported loudly: "Unfathomable!"

Correct answer, Father Fu gave the two Guo girls a victory again.

After losing twice in a row, Song Jianing took a peek at the third prince anxiously, and caught a glimpse of the boy's indifferent profile with the corners of his lips pressed tightly. Song Jianing trembled and bowed his head anxiously. Although the loss was not only due to her alone, and the third prince himself did not guess it, but she was helpless if people had to blame her for being stupid.

"Want to win?"

Song Jianing raised her head in surprise. Zhao Heng's eyes were as cold as water, and he looked at her without any emotional ups and downs. To make sure that the third prince was really asking herself, Song Jianing blinked and asked nervously, "Your Highness would like to win?" If she really wanted to, she could change her second sister Lan Fang. The second elder sister helped the third prince win. The opportunity is greater.

She was considerate, but Zhao Heng didn't follow her guess, and only said two words: "You grab it."

Song Jianing glanced at him, and realized that she was stupid, the third prince must be extremely smart, otherwise how could she be the emperor!

Understand, Song Jianing nodded vigorously, trying to make the third prince feel her determination to be willing to serve. If you can’t answer the question, you can’t do it simply by rushing the question. In the future, the three princes will ascend the throne to tell the world that she is stupid, and it won’t be wronged!

With the heart of fist and fist loyal to the future emperor, Song Jianing couldn't help but walked two steps forward, raising his neck and staring at the chanting orb.

"Question three." The wind blew the lantern, and Baozhu held the lantern, staring at the subject for a while before he was confused, and said: "Wu, type one word, it is the word for Wugong."

As soon as the voice fell, Princess Duanhui and Guo's Sanfang hadn't understood the topic, Song Jianing suddenly cried out, "I know!"

Song Jianing was so emboldened because she was doing errands for the future emperor. Not to mention Princess Duanhui, it was the first time that the three girls from the Guo family heard her speak so loudly. After the accident, Sanfang smiled and looked at her sister. Princess Duanhui was not very happy, frowning and scolded: "If you scramble the topic, you can grab the topic, so what do you do so loudly?"

Song Jianing's soaring confidence was immediately shorter, and she whispered: "Not next time."

Princess Duanhui snorted and asked suspiciously: "What is the answer?"

"Fei, the writing is brilliant." Zhao Heng replied calmly.

Ting Fang and Lan Fang suddenly realized that Princess Duanhui didn't understand, and asked, "What's the solution?"

Song Jianing was also confused, tilted his head and looked at Zhao Heng seriously. Zhao Heng glanced at her and said lightly: "Wu Fei Wen, Wu Fei Wen, Fei Wen Fei."

A total of nine words were spoken, three words in three words, there was a slight pause between the two groups of three words, which was not particularly obvious, but a careful person could hear it. Ting Fang and Lan Fang, who had already comprehended, noticed, but they knew that the third prince had a mouth problem and did not reveal any strangeness. Song Jianing did not hear it at all. His mind was on Zhao Heng’s explanation, and his little face was full of words. In order to admire and worship. How smart, why didn't she expect it?

The moonlight was filled with lights, and she seemed to be caught in her eyes at this moment, the apricot eyes were so clear that the emotions in them were unobstructed. After Zhao Heng answered the question, he secretly observed Song Jianing. He wanted to know how she would react when he heard his speech inconvenience, but unexpectedly received a sincere heart.

A little lantern riddle, how stupid is she to look at him with this kind of worship?

Zhao Heng withdrew his gaze indifferently.

Princess Duanhui looked at him, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart. She thought that the third brother who usually cherishes words like gold should disdain to play with them. Now it seems that the third brother is in good spirits tonight. A little money made an exception and said so much.

Princess Duanhui didn't want to lose. After realizing that her half-brother was a strong rival, Princess Duanhui immediately put away her playful heart and gave her all. It is a pity that she has to listen to the questions and be distracted to fight for the questions, not as good as Song Jianing who just grabbed the questions. The next three consecutive questions were answered by Song Jianing and Zhao Heng.

Princess Duanhui was angry, and when she guessed the lantern riddle again, she grabbed the orb before she finished speaking. As a result, she was out of luck. Neither she nor Ting Fang knew the answer to this question. The third girl, Yunfang, is the least afraid of Princess Duanhui, he hehe booed: "If you answer the wrong question and deduct two dollars, the cousin has to think twice next time."

Princess Duanhui got an eye knife.

After walking for a while, passing by a pavilion, Princess Duanhui was impetuous, decided to take a rest, and walked towards the pavilion first: "Let's sit for a while, and continue in a quarter of an hour."

No one objected.

Song Jianing was a little hungry, so how dare you eat the banquet in the palace openly. She deliberately slowed down, taking advantage of the dark outside of the pavilion, Song Jianing looked ahead, but her left hand unzipped her purse skillfully, took off the lid of the porcelain bottle and poured out a bayberry candy, closed the lid and tightened the purse, and then pretended to turn her head. Looking at the scenery, I quickly stuffed bayberry candy into my mouth, and the sweet and sour taste instantly spread to the tip of my tongue.

"What?"

Someone asked above her head.

Song Jianing almost bit his tongue, and when he tilted his head to look, the third prince was blocking the side of the pavilion, with black eyes facing her mouth, and there seemed to be clouds surging under his eyes. Sneaking indecently, Song Jianing lowered her head in embarrassment, and did not dare to deceive the future emperor, saying like a mosquito: "Yangmei candy."

Zhao Heng said nothing, but didn't let go.

Song Jianing could not figure out what he was thinking, and glanced at the mutton jade pendant on the waist of the young man. Song Jianing was embarrassed to continue chewing candy, but it was inconvenient to talk with something in his mouth. The more silent he became, the more nervous he became. I couldn't believe the possibility, and tentatively asked: "His Royal Highness, do you want to eat?"

This person knew she was eating, but didn't go away, either he wanted to watch her eat, or he was hungry and wanted to eat. Compared with the two, Song Jianing thinks the latter is more reliable. Sister Ting Fang said that, except for the emperor, everyone at the palace banquet eats beautiful scenery, and the stomach is empty, and the four princes are probably not full.

Zhao Heng didn't expect her to ask that. He doesn't like sweets, but...

Recalling all the joy and excitement she had caused because of him tonight, including the sweet gift at this time, Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand.

Are you hungry?

Song Jianing was inexplicably happy, and quickly poured out one...two, and gently placed it on the palm of the young man's hand. Because of this action, Song Jianing inevitably saw the third prince's left hand. The five fingers were slender, and they were moisturized as the top-grade jade in the halo of the swaying lantern. Looking at her two candies, they seemed to have tainted the mortal dust of the beautiful jade.

Too nervous, Song Jianing didn't have a good sense of measure, and accidentally touched the palm of the future emperor with his fingertips when putting the candy, unexpectedly warm.

Song Jianing withdrew his hands in a panic, and his head dropped lower.

She felt that Zhao Heng's palm was warm, and Zhao Heng naturally felt the slight coolness of the fat girl's fingers, and the cool touch left an indescribable itch in his palm. Moving his eyes from the two candies to Song Jianing's flushed cheek, Zhao Heng frowned unchecked. If she touched it accidentally, why should she be ashamed? If she touched it deliberately, she seems to have just been eleven years old?

Zhao Heng couldn't see through, only knew that he was not very disgusted.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the four women in the pavilion, Zhao Heng shook his left fist with a false finger, and walked to the side of the pavilion as usual, with his back to the four women, enjoying the moon alone.

Song Jianing quickly ate the candy and went to the pavilion to meet everyone.

"Have you whispered to His Royal Highness III?" Princess Duanhui asked suspiciously.

Song Jianing said half-truth and half-truth: "I ate a bayberry candy, and the third highness asked me what I was doing."

Princess Duanhui whispered, "Gluttonous pig".

Song Jianing pretended not to hear, glanced at the third prince outside the pavilion, thinking that he had divided the future emperor two candy, suddenly felt that the third prince did not seem so scary.

After a short break, everyone continued to guess the riddle, Song Jianing grabbed it quickly, Zhao Heng knew everything, and the two were invincible. Always losing, Princess Duanhui became less and less interested, and came to a lantern again. Princess Duanhui pretended to be sleepy and yawned, and said tiredly: "I'm sleepy. This is the last question. After guessing, we will disperse." Right."

Isn't it just a few taels of silver, when she rewarded Song Jianing.

Song Jianing didn't care about those. After Baozhu finished reading the couplet title "Smoke Locking Pond Willow", she snatched it without even thinking about it. After finishing the snatch, she noticed that the atmosphere was not right, especially Princess Duanhui, who was still talking about sleepiness just now. His eyes lit up like a correct answer, and she looked at her gleefully: "Cousin Jianing, do you want to win the silver too much, or do you trust my third brother too much? No one has come out of this pair yet."

Song Jianing was dumbfounded and turned to look at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's eyes are extremely cold. He can be right, but he can't say five words unless he stammers.

He didn't want anyone to hear him talking like that.

He lingered, Song Jianing only thought he could not answer, but the question had already been robbed. In order not to lose the face of the future emperor, Song Jianing gritted her teeth, bowed her head and thought to herself, racking her brains, it really made her think of one, so happy, yes As soon as Zi came to mind, he blurted out: "Hangcheng oil fried shrimp...no, Hangzhou oil fried pot!"
