Chapter 868 Another mystery
‘dong, dong, dong…’ After a few clicks, the rhythm became faster and faster, and the colorful balls were quickly transmitted among the crowd. At first, everyone was still reserved and dared not speak loudly, but as the drums became more and more dense, the speed of transmission became faster and faster, which caused the screams and laughter of the girls from time to time, and the atmosphere became lively.
‘Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong…’ After a few rapid combos, the drum sound suddenly stopped.
"Ah..." The colorful ball had already fallen into Zhang Ping's arms, and she couldn't help but scream.
"Sister Zhang won the lottery, please guess the riddle!" Wu Xi announced the result as the arbitrator, and then asked Xiaohuangmen to pick up a lantern at will to deliver it to the road.
"Amitabha, Amitabha..." Zhang Ping was a little nervous, clasped his hands and kept muttering, for fear of losing face if he couldn't guess.
"The bright moon hides in the high tree, type a word!" Wu Xi took the lantern and recited it word by word.
"Yes...Yes, the word "Yao" is still bright moon and the sun is left; "The tall tree refers to the top of the word "Shu" and the word "Kumu" Zhang Ping replied with a moment of pondering.
"No, girl, let's choose the same one!" Zhao Bing nodded. He was so stingy that he would not prepare valuable things such as gold pots and silver bowls, but just hairpins, beads, bracelets, and some jade rings and jade pendants.
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Zhang Ping guessed correctly when he heard the words, stroked his chest and breathed, and said happily, showing his true nature as a girl.
"If you like a girl, just choose which one girl!" Zhao Bing pointed to the tray in front of her and smiled. Zhang Ping gave another gift and went closer to choose. Although these things were small, they were from the craftsmen's workshop in the palace. They were extremely exquisitely made. They were really dazzling together. I don't know which one to choose. After Zhang Ping hesitated, he picked up a jade ring.
"Girl, why do you choose this?" The role of jade ring in ancient times was mainly to hang around the waist to press the clothes lapel, and at the same time it also acted as decorative. However, the jade ring chosen by Zhang Ping was not suitable for girls regardless of the style and size, Zhao Bing asked with a smile.
"Report to Your Majesty, I accidentally broke the jade ring that my ancestor loved very much. I have not been able to find a similar one for many years. I finally found it today. My ancestor will definitely be happy when I see it." Zhang Ping replied.
"Oh, the girl is filial!" Zhao Bing nodded slightly and said in praise, "Girl can choose another one she likes."
"Your Majesty, is it really possible?" Zhang Ping said in surprise after hearing this.
"Of course, the girl hit the mark and got a good start, so it should be like this!" Zhao Bing said very seriously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Seeing the emperor's seriousness, Zhang Ping quickly took a beaded flower from the tray, and then bowed.
"Miss Zhang is the first to be the best, sisters should do their best!" Wu Xi smiled and said to everyone after seeing Zhang Ping return to his position, while signaling the blindfolded drummer to beat the drum.
In the subsequent games, some people guessed riddles and were rewarded with joy; naturally some people didn't guess. When they were depressed, they either wrote a poem by themselves or chanted poems by their predecessors. Zhao Bing couldn't even remember the rhymes clearly, so it was difficult to judge whether it was good or bad, so they did not make any comments. They just pretended to be deep and did not know the details and found it difficult for people who were in a position to know his attitude, and finally it was covered up.
"Miss Wu, although the drums and passing flowers are lively, many sisters have difficulty getting the opportunity. They should change the rules!" Because the flower-transmission game is very accidental, causing uneven drought and flood. Cheng Su did not get a chance for a long time and felt dissatisfied with it.
"Miss Cheng said, but I thought how to change this charter?" Wu Xi asked back with a smile.
"What will happen?" Zhao Bing saw that the two met, but did not stop them. Instead, he thought to himself. He understood that ancient and modern times, there were wine officials in the wine party and dealers in the card game, and the "middle man" who hosted the game was actually equivalent to the master of the game, representing authority and not allowed to be questioned and challenged by others at will. It is very impolite to raise objections, and will also be punished for responding. He wanted to see how Wu Xi handled this matter.
"Miss Wu, I think everyone should be allowed to participate. After releasing riddles, everyone can rush to ask for answers. The first one guesses the riddles, the right one will be rewarded, and the wrong one will be punished. I wonder what everyone thinks?" Cheng Su said and turned around and asked everyone.
"Yes, Miss Cheng is right, the constitution should be changed..." Cheng Su's proposal immediately resonated with some people talking.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Wu Xi turned around and saluted the little emperor.
"Since Miss Wu is the host, I am not easy to participate, it is up to you!" Zhao Bing smiled and did not express his opinion.
However, this does not mean that Zhao Bing has no opinion. Cheng Su challenged Wu Xi because she did not get the opportunity to guess the riddle, so she questioned the leader alone, and then used it to provoke everyone to oppose Wu Xi, but she could create a situation where the law did not blame the public. Although this method seemed naive, it was often very effective. Although Wu Xi was temporarily passive, she still did not forget that her power came from the little emperor, so she did not take the initiative to deal with it without authorization, but asked her own opinions first, which shows that she was very decent in dealing with things. On the contrary, Cheng Su was too self-centered and was offended.
"Okay, let's follow Miss Cheng, and we will change the rules." After Wu Xi received the approval of the little emperor, he thought for a moment and said to everyone with a smile.
"This little girl is not simple!" Zhao Bing was a little surprised. He obviously leaned towards her just now. He thought Wu Xi would use this to fight Cheng Sulai, but she gave in.
"The moon in the painting of Banjiang River." Since Wu Xi followed Cheng Su's rules, he asked Xiaohuangmen to pick up lanterns at will. She recited a riddle to everyone.
"This is the character Wei, half of the character Jiang, the middle field of the character Jiang, the moonlight and the word "正" is combined with the character Wei." As soon as Wu Xi finished speaking, the others were still thinking, Cheng Su stood up and answered.
"Yes, Miss Cheng has answered correctly!" Wu Xi first saluted the Chairman and then announced to everyone.
"Miss Cheng is quick-witted and can be guessed. Please come and choose one!" Zhao Bing nodded to Cheng Su and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Su said first, then moved to the scene. His pink cheeks were so charming. After watching them on the plate, he picked up a phoenix-headed hairpin and said, "Your Majesty think this one is suitable for me to wear?"
"Miss Cheng is as beautiful as a flower, and it is good no matter what!" Zhao Bing smiled, but he felt disgusted in his heart. He hated such a young and mature child the most (of course he was discharged from him). At this moment, he was still showing off his charm to him and really treated himself as a child. But he did not show any unhappiness on his face, but instead replied with a smile.
"Thank you for your praise!" Cheng Su's experience certainly couldn't see what the little emperor wanted. He put the hairpin on his hair bun and said happily, and then returned to his seat with pride.
"The bright moon is moving forward, and I still write it!" After it turned around, Wu Xi asked to pick a lantern and walk.
"It's the word "Teng", the bright moon tilts the moon, adds the sky, and the head of the character "Ma and Dang" combine to form the word "Teng." Cheng Su answered again when he heard the sound, and looked at Wu Xi without forgetting to challenge.
"Miss Cheng is here again!" Wu Xi heard the answer and bowed again.
"Miss Cheng is so amazing!" Zhao Bing praised again. Cheng Su was even more proud of her hearing, and this time she picked a bracelet and put it on her wrist.
"I want to pick the branches of osmanthus in the moon palace, and make an idiom." Wu Xi said in a mystery again.
"It's unattainable. The osmanthus trees on the Moon Palace and the moon palace are all places that are too high to climb." This is relatively simple, but Cheng Su rushed forward again and replied.
"Miss Cheng won three yuan in a row, so everyone has to work hard, otherwise the lottery will be the best." Zhao Bing smiled and said to everyone, and at the same time asked him to go forward to choose, but this time he just picked one of them casually.
I don’t know if it was encouraged by the emperor or if Cheng Su was indeed of high level, she was almost successful one after another, and every guess was successful, it became a special show for her personal performance, which made everyone hate it. But Wu Xi, as the questioner, was a little embarrassed. One was suspected of leaking the secret; the other was that she was guessed without exception, and naturally showed that her level was limited and her literary literacy was at least not as good as Cheng Su. However, she did not give in, but still insisted on presiding and fulfilled her duties.
"I got the moon in front of the building, and I got the moon again!" Wu Xi said in a mysterious way again.
"Friends, two months are friends." This time, Zhao Bing answered first without waiting for Wu Xi to fall.
"Your Majesty, you're wrong!" Chen Shu, who was sitting beside him, said in a low voice with a wink at the little emperor.
"What's wrong? This is a month, and another month is another month. Isn't it a word "peng!" Zhao Bing said without mercy.
"Your Majesty is indeed wrong. There are wood on the building, so it should be the word "shang" of the shanty town, not the second moon friend!" Su Lan, who was sitting behind him, explained.
"Then... Miss Wu, did I guess wrong?" Zhao Bing still disbelief after hearing this, pointed at Wu Xi and asked.
"Your Majesty is wrong!" Wu Xi bowed up and said with a smile.
"Well, since Miss Wu said it wrong, it must be wrong. But the girl's riddle is profound, and there is another mystery in it!" Zhao Bing admitted that he nodded and nodded.
"This... Since Your Majesty has guessed wrongly, he must write a poem impromptu according to the rules!" Wu Xi's face changed slightly after hearing this, but it also flew away, and he politely said upwards.
"You still have to write poetry?" Zhao Bing said with a sad face after hearing this.
"Hehe, Your Majesty has already thought about it!" Chen Shu said with a smile when she saw her appearance. She was one of the people who knew the details. It was probably harder to ask her to write a poem on the spot than to kill him.
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to pay your debts!" Cheng Su seemed to have seen the most coquettish thing and clamored to the audience.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to take care of me..." Su Lan is of course one of the insiders. She has never seen the little emperor take the initiative to recite poems and essays for so many years. She is forced by her masters, and the poems she writes are often like rumors, and she really can't get on the table. So she pulled her clothes and said softly.
"Sister Su, I have also studied with my masters and great scholars for so many years. Wouldn't I lose my face with my masters?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and refused his kindness. However, it was also a dilemma. The poem he made must be in line with the situation and must be understood. While he was talking, his mind was running rapidly, trying to find a suitable poem.
"Your Majesty can also recite poems and essays from previous generations, rather than forcing new works." Wu Xi saw that the little emperor was frowning, and the two girls around him were joking and making small moves. He must have written poems that touched His Majesty's shortcomings, so he politely said.
"Miss Wu, who doesn't know that Your Majesty is of top-notch civil and military skills? If you say this, wouldn't you laugh at Your Majesty for not even making a poem about chanting the moon?" Cheng Su said unyieldingly.
"Miss Cheng misunderstood, I don't have this intention..." This charge was absolutely unacceptable. Wu Xi immediately turned around and said, but was interrupted by the voice of His Majesty's chanting poems.
"Where is no salt trace to be found? The old house willows are deep. The rest of the veil is washed away and left with hatred, which is not as good as the concubine Qi has said." Zhao Bing finally thought of a song, but was afraid that he would forget it if he delayed it. He couldn't wait to chant it out regardless of the two of them talking. However, the response was not very good. Both the left and right, and the girls on the field were all surprised, not knowing whether to applaud or...
"The poems that Your Majesty recites seem to have nothing to do with the moon, but there are still the next sentences?" Cheng Su looked at the little emperor and said timidly. She was actually very nervous at this moment. Her words just now were equivalent to blocking His Majesty's retreat, forcing him to write poems on the spot, but it was not suitable for the situation. Isn't it equivalent to letting the emperor make a fool of himself in public?
"Miss Cheng's words are not bad. Your Majesty's work is a masterpiece. It is not only suitable for the situation, but also has a proper intention." Wu Xi said with a smile.
"I would like to ask Miss Wu to solve the doubts, where is Yue?" Cheng Su might have believed the same words if someone else said it, but it came from Wu Xi's mouth. She already regarded him as an opponent and asked without thinking about it.
"Wu Yan, the name of Fang is Zhonglichun, also known as Zhong Wuyan. It was first seen in the "Biantong Biography" by Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty. "Wu Xi said that the woman Wu Yan looks ugly, with a wide forehead, small eyes, a high nose, a big throat, a hunchback and a thick neck, and a yellow hair and black skin. The ruler of Qi was King Xuan of Qi at that time. He played with beauties in the palace all day long, ignored the state's affairs, which made the country's power depressed and the rivers faded. One day, he was enjoying the music of the palace and came to report to him, saying that an ugly woman asked to enter the palace to serve the king. King Xuan of Qi felt it was strange, so he asked her to enter the palace to take a look first."
"The ugly girl Wu Yan came into the palace. At this time, she was over forty years old and had not yet married. When she saw King Xuan of Qi, Wu Yan talked about state affairs and gave advice to King Xuan of Qi: Qin and Chu were surrounded by Qi, staring at him, but Qi did not cultivate the internal affairs, loyalty and treacherous, the prince did not stand, and all the sons did not teach him, King Qi was specialized in playing, and he was like a dog or a horse; building a platform, towering into the clouds, decorated with colorful satin silk, and decorated with gold and pearl kings, playing with things, losing their ambitions, and making the virtuous and enchanting; virtuous fled to the mountains and forests, flattering around the left and right, and those who advised him were not allowed to enter, and it was rare to hear about it; flowers and wine, and the female musicians were full of beautiful palaces, and they did not practice the etiquette of princes outside, and did not uphold the rule of the country inside. Wu Yan finally said that Qi was full of dangers, and it was extremely dangerous!"
"What Miss Wu said has to do with this Mid-Autumn Moon?" Seeing that what Wu Xi said was all about Wu Yan's daughter, she said disdainfully...
