Chapter 83, Emperor Yuji's sister-in-law
She guessed correctly.

Although he only answered one question correctly, the lantern owner did not seem flustered.

After all, there are still nine questions, and each one is more difficult than the other. He is sure to make a profit of the ten taels of silver.

When the lantern boss was brainwashing him, Shen Qingtang was so excited that he hugged the Emperor Yuji.

"Well, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Why are you so happy just because you answered a riddle correctly?
Emperor Yuji couldn't bear to see her being so cocky, so seeing her smug look, he couldn't help but flick her forehead twice with his fingers.

"Be careful not to be arrogant or impatient. There are still nine questions. If you don't want your husband to help you answer them, your husband can give you a reward."

"Wow~" Shen Qingtang was even more excited when he heard about the reward, "Then your reward will be taken by Tang'er!"

After saying that, Shen Qingtang looked at the lantern owner with high morale again.

"Come on, let's move on to the next puzzle. I'm so powerful now!"

"Listen carefully to the second riddle, girl - it is upright and strong. Although it cannot speak, it will respond if it is spoken. (Guess an object)"

She still knows how to answer this question.

"My guess is that it must be the inkstone." Shen Qingtang smiled, "If I'm right, let's move on to the next puzzle."

She is glowing.

Even the brightest lights cannot compare to her brightness and brilliance.

No one noticed how stunning and dazed the Emperor Yu Ji, who was standing next to Shen Qingtang, looked with his deep phoenix eyes hidden under the mask.

Tonight, she was like a glimpse of a beautiful lady in a lotus pond, so dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

She was like the only source of light in the darkness, attracting him all the time, like a moth to a flame, helpless.

However, he can't!
Emperor Yu Ji clenched his fists, and as he tried his best to control his fast heartbeat, Shen Qingtang, who heard the creaking sound of his fists, couldn't help but slightly raise her pink lips hidden under the veil.

Have you ever seen a girl as passionate and innocent as her?
You haven’t seen it, that’s right.

When it comes to emotions and love, the ancients were mostly reserved and would not easily show them in front of others.

But Shen Qingtang refused!
Positive and optimistic emotions are as addictive as poison.

not to mention--

Since it is love, her joys, sorrows, anger and happiness should naturally be the same as her love, and she should be bold and courageous enough to express them to the one she loves.

……

"It's firecrackers!"

“…Yes, it’s firecrackers.”

"Wow~ There are only three questions left. Is my husband Tang'er awesome?!"

After guessing the riddle correctly again, Shen Qingtang was so happy that he jumped up and down in front of Emperor Yu Ji like a child.

Great, how can it not be great!

Emperor Yuji held her in his arms, took the handkerchief from Jiang Quan's hand, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Compared to your handwriting, guessing riddles can better show your intelligence and wit. Are you sure about the three riddles?"

Shen Qingtang thought for a moment, then looked at Emperor Yuji with a cunning look.

"For your reward, even if Tang'er is not sure, she must be absolutely sure. After all, we can never lose face for our master, don't you agree?"

After saying that, she didn't care about Emperor Yu Ji's reaction and urged the lantern owner to continue asking questions.

Under the stunned gaze of Emperor Yu Ji, the lantern owner, who had long since stopped smiling, took a deep breath and forced a smile.

He had a premonition that the silver he had already put into his pocket would cost him nine taels of silver... It was heartbreaking!

It's really heartbreaking!
"Congratulations, young lady. You have answered seven questions correctly. The remaining three puzzles will be more difficult each time. Are you ready?" The lantern owner's face was a little stiff.

In fact, he should be the one who is mentally prepared.

Under the somewhat bitter gaze of the lantern owner, Shen Qingtang raised one hand like a good boy.

"Please give me the questions." She smiled, "At worst, I have my master here. I am not afraid of these three puzzles."

Emperor Yu Ji, who was photographed, had no idea that this devilish girl was threatening him just now.

If he didn't answer the questions as a 'husband' but as a 'master', wouldn't she definitely get the reward? !

Emperor Yuji curled his thin lips slightly.

Now it seems that his 'little wife' is not only very bold and reckless, but also very clever.

Under the doting gaze of Emperor Yu Ji, the lantern owner, who had brainwashed himself many times, also spoke out the puzzle he had carefully prepared word for word.

"For this eighth puzzle, there is no end to the principles of destiny and human merit, but it is hard to come by merit without luck. Why—"

"How much is this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon? Take it down, my lady wants it!"

Shen Qingtang was listening to the riddle with his ears pricked up when he saw a little girl in a lake green skirt and double buns on her hair squeeze in from outside. She pointed at the jade rabbit looking at the moon hanging on the shelf and asked the lantern owner to take it down.

As she was emptying her wallet, the lantern owner said with a forced smile.

"I'm really sorry, but this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon is not for sale. You can only take it away for free if you answer ten riddles correctly. If your lady wants it, you may as well--"

Before the lantern shop owner could finish his words, he was interrupted by a dissatisfied girl in a yellow skirt who walked in from the crowd.

"There is only one lantern. If she answers all ten riddles correctly, won't I miss the lantern I love?"

After saying that, she looked at Shen Qingtang with her arrogant eyes.

"You answered all seven questions?"

Shen Qingtang nodded, "What advice do you have for me, young lady?"

Perhaps it was because Shen Qingtang was too polite and courteous, which made her arrogant eyes become extremely proud.

"I love this lantern very much. I can give you double or even ten times the money. I will answer the remaining three puzzles. Are you willing?"

Does this little girl want to pick peaches halfway?
Shen Qingtang smiled, "No!"

"If this lady really likes it, she can wait until I fail and then participate in another event."

After being rejected, the young lady had no reaction yet, but the little maid in the green skirt spoke proudly first.

"Madam, why are you in such a hurry to refuse?" She didn't even look at Shen Qingtang, and raised her chin and said, "I'm afraid that if you knew the identity of my young lady, even if you were lucky enough to win this lantern, you would have to respectfully hold it up with both hands and give it to my young lady."

In fact, she didn't need to say it, anyone with eyes could see that her young lady was a pampered daughter.

And when the master and servant appeared, Shen Qingtang noticed that Jiang Quan's expression changed.

It can be seen that the identity of her young lady is very extraordinary.

and so--

"I am so ignorant. I wonder which noble lady your young lady is that I cannot afford to offend?" Shen Qingtang hooked the hand of Emperor Yu Ji, bit her lip and said, "My husband, do you know this young lady?"

"If he is really a distinguished person whom even you cannot afford to offend, then Tang'er doesn't have to have this flower lantern."

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid in green skirt said with a smug look on her face.

"My young lady is Ye Qingtong, the younger sister of the current queen. Even so, do you still want to compete with my young lady for this lantern?"
