Ying Zhu happened to see the familiar figure below, turned around and said to Ling Buyi: "Think carefully, I'm going down."
Downstairs.
"Shao Shang."
Cheng Shaoshang turned around when he heard the sound and said happily: "Brother, haven't you gone back?"
Ying Zhu smiled and said: "I visited an old friend and was left here to recuperate for a few days. It happened to be the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, so I was able to go out for a walk. I didn't expect to see you by such a coincidence. Why are you alone?"
"My father, mother, eldest mother, and brother are over there. I thought it was more lively here, so I came over to take a look."
Although she said this, Ying Zhu still noticed the look of disappointment in Cheng Shaoshang's eyes.
"Well, I happen to be alone too. Do you mind if I go shopping with you?"
"Of course I don't mind."
The two of them walked together and arrived in front of Tianjia Restaurant.
"Strange, how come this restaurant sells lanterns?" Cheng Shaoshang said in confusion.
"This lantern should not be for sale. Lantern Festival Lantern Festival usually has a place where lanterns are hung and puzzles are written on the lanterns. Only by answering the puzzles correctly can you get the corresponding lantern." Ying Zhu said.
"Guessing lantern riddles, what's the point? Why are there so many people gathered?"
At this moment, a voice came from behind the two of them.
"If you can't answer it, you will admit that your knowledge is shallow. If a knowledgeable person finds it interesting, he will be able to answer it. Get out of the way."
With that said, the voice owner was about to knock Cheng Shaoshang away, but Ying Zhu stepped in front of Cheng Shaoshang one step ahead, causing the voice owner to be knocked back a few steps.
"Zhaojun, are you okay?" Lou Yao hurriedly supported He Zhaojun and asked.
"Who are you? You are so rude." He Zhaojun asked, staring at Ying Zhu.
"I don't know who was rude first, but you are allowed to knock others away?" Ying Zhu reached out and patted the clothes that He Zhaojun had touched just now.
"you!"
Seeing Ying Zhu like this, He Zhaojun was instantly furious.
"Zhaojun, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." Lou Yao comforted from the side.
"Lou Yao, are you still a man? Are you going to tolerate him humiliating me like this?"
"Zhaojun, alas, brother, we met here, and we are destined to be here. Why don't you and I compete in lantern riddles here? If I win, you will apologize to Zhaojun. If you If you win, then we will apologize to you for the rude words we just made." Lou Yao cupped his hands.
Ying Zhu looked back at Cheng Shaoshang and asked her what she meant, whether to compare or not.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shaoshang immediately walked out from behind Ying Zhu and said, "Brother, why do you need to take action? I will compete with you."
"this..."
"Stop being so nagging. Since Young Shang wants to play, I'll play with you. If my sister loses, I'll apologize to you."
... ...
"Everyone, before guessing the lantern riddles, I need to tell you in advance that Mr. Yuan Shanjian upstairs can solve all the lantern riddles."
"Let's start guessing the lantern riddles. The riddle on the left is that if you look horizontally, you are the king, if you look vertically, you are the king. If the population is without others, it will perish. Guess one word."
"It's Tian."
Yuan Shanjian upstairs, Cheng Shaoshang and Lou Yao downstairs all said it at the same time.
"Second from the left, visitors come to the east, sing and walk, do not enter through the door, cross our walls, play in the courtyard, go up to the hall, beat and slap, the dead are crowded, fight to death, the master is not hurt, guess something."
"It's a mosquito."
The three of them spoke together again.
"Third from the left, a thousand people lend money, the monthly interest is thirty, and the return is nine days, how much profit will be made?"
"Six cents, seven cents and five cents."
But this time Lou Yao was half a beat slower, once slower and then slower again and again. In the end, the competition ended with Lou Yao and He Zhaojun losing and apologizing to Cheng Shaoshang.
"Young Shang, it's getting late. Should I take you back home, or should I go back to your home with your parents?"
"Brother, no need. I saw my father and mother. They are right there. I can just go and look for them. I'm leaving first."
"good."
After Cheng Shaoshang and his family reunited, Ling Buyi came to Ying Zhu's side leisurely, looked at Cheng Shaoshang for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, let you and I enter the palace."
"At this moment?"
"right."
"Then let's go."
After a stick of incense.
"My nephew, this is your father's reply. Please take a look."
Emperor Wen handed Ying Zhu the letter, turned to Ling Buyi and said, "Zisheng, you should also be prepared. This matter will involve the two dynasties, and you two will join forces."
After reading the letter, Ying Zhu handed it to Ling Buyi and let out a long breath.
"Uncle, in my opinion, this matter will not only involve two dynasties, it will most likely affect the entire world."
"Oh? My dear nephew, tell me what you think."
"First, there are ten dynasties in the world now, and there are too many unstable places."
"Secondly, many dynasties perished back then. Those remnants have become a phenomenon and are lurking everywhere in the world. Some of them may have penetrated into the interior of each dynasty today."
"Thirdly, the situation in Jianghu and martial arts is getting better and better, and there will definitely be a mixed bag of good and bad. By then, the use of force to violate the ban will happen again."
"Fourth..."
"Fifth..."
"..."
Emperor Wen, Ying Zhu, and Ling Buyi discussed it all night and decided to take a long-term approach to fishing for the big fish. First, they would cut off all the root causes of trouble in this place. The bait was the remnants of the country's subjugation that had been hunted down by the Qin Dynasty in the country until they had no hiding place.
The next day.
"Zisheng, why don't you go and congratulate Yuchang on his birthday in Prince Ruyang?"
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Before Ling Buyi could finish speaking, Emperor Wen interrupted: "Don't say anything, just go and take a look, ah."
In desperation, Ling Buyi had no choice but to drag Ying Zhu along with him.
"No, uncle asked you to go, why are you dragging me along?" Ying Zhu also said with a look of reluctance.
... ...
Ruyang Prince's Mansion.
"The Holy Spirit advocates frugality, so how come you are starting to be extravagant?"
"Don't open your mouth, God, and shut up the world. You don't look at what you are wearing. You are so considerate of the sufferings of the people. Why don't you go to the fields to farm in rags? I'm afraid you can't bear to part with your gold, silver and jewelry~ "
When Cheng Shaoshang saw several people criticizing Wan Qiqi one by one, he immediately said: "Sister Qiqi went on an expedition with General Wan. It is not easier to pay for the casualties and families of the soldiers and their families than to farm the land yourself. Who would spend more than ten dollars?" It takes several steps to make such a snack."
"What's more, the soldiers are fighting in blood and fire on the battlefield, but you are feasting and drinking in the safe capital. Our generals and their families cannot live in such delicate days. It doesn't matter that we don't eat such a banquet, and my sister These delicious food and drinks on our table are thanks to the blessing of heaven, the saints who work day and night for the country, and the dedicated efforts of the soldiers at the front."
"You don't know how to be embarrassed after you are enjoying such a blessing and ridiculing our generals."
These words made the girls who had previously mocked Wan Qiqi so angry that they didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, a servant from the palace came over and whispered in Princess Yuchang's ear: "Princess, General Ling is here."
