Chapter 34

Like a big thunderbolt from the blue sky, Tong Ange could clearly see the corner of Tong Yuming's mouth almost grinning behind his ears even if he was far away.

Just now Tong Yuming saw that the situation was not right, and he was sweating in his heart. He didn't expect Tong Ange to be appreciated by the emperor after the change of style. It seems that the decision to bring Tong Ange into the palace was really right.

Thinking of this, Tong Yuming's heart was not to mention how happy he was, and the eyes that looked at Tong Ange seemed to have special beauty effects.

Compared to Tong Yuming who was full of enthusiasm, Tong Ange was awesome. She knew a lot about brain teasers, but let her ask and answer for herself. What's the fun in that?
But if you don't say anything, the emperor's words are so strong, isn't she disrespectful?
But if he said vulgar words, the emperor might lose interest.

Thinking of this, Tong Ange gritted his teeth, a faint flame ignited in his heart, and thought about struggling again: "The mysteries that the emperor, the princess, and the ministers think about are not as elegant as the ones thought up by the young masters and ladies present. The Hall of Elegance may pollute the emperor's hearing."

After she finished speaking, the emperor looked indifferent, and waved his hand: "Hey, this is the beauty of being elegant, and the joy of being vulgar. The literati also say that both the elegant and the vulgar are rewarded. Today I am enjoying the fun with the people. Forgive your innocence. "

The faint flame in Tong Ange's heart was completely extinguished, he gritted his teeth, and said bravely, "The court lady offended you."

She thought about the sharp turns in her mind, and suddenly saw the dishes on the table in front of her, a light flashed in her mind, and then said: "Your Majesty, the first mystery of the subject is related to the dishes on the table. related to one of our dishes.”

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Who is Mi's mother?"

After Tong Ange finished speaking, everyone present was at a loss. Concubine Qiao Shu also frowned, looked at Princess Yong'an, and looked at the emperor puzzled: "Your Majesty, this mystery..." What kind of mystery is this?
The emperor was also elusive, but he was the emperor after all, how could he show his ignorance, so he said calmly: "Since it is related to a dish on the table, then all the lovers may as well just look at the dish in front of you." Guess the dishes, and if the answer is correct, I will reward you."

"Yes." Although everyone agreed, they couldn't help wondering, didn't this rice grow out of the ground?Where did the mother come from?

Qiao Xinning snorted coldly in her heart. She felt that Tong Ange's riddle was extremely vulgar. She obviously acted in a good manner, and she had already answered several times correctly. Tonight's winner clearly belonged to her, but now, Tong Ange gave them all. Mixed up.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xinning's eyes were full of resentment, she bit her lips, stood up and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, as we all know, rice grows from the ground, where is the mother? , thanks to the nourishment of the land, Ms. Tong came up with such a riddle, is it because she wants everyone to guess the boring answer of the seed land?"

Her words caused everyone in the hall to nod their heads. This is true. Rice does grow from the ground. Where can I find my mother?

Princess Yong'an also nodded when she heard the words, and said: "Father, my son thinks what my cousin said is reasonable."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Tong Ange: "Tong Ange, this answer is your answer?"

Tong Ange pursed his lips, and turned to the emperor Fufushen: "Your Majesty, my servant said just now that this riddle is based on a dish on the table, and the riddle of my servant is just for fun, although what Miss Qiao said is true. It makes sense, but it's not the answer of the courtier's daughter."

Now, everyone became even more curious. They looked at every dish in front of them. Except for rice and cakes, they didn't find any other rice-related dishes?

"Hmph, since what I said is wrong, you should tell everyone your answer and see if it's yours or mine!" Qiao Xinning said with some displeasure.

Tong Ange pursed her lips and looked at Qiao Xinning: "Miss Qiao, guessing riddles is fun. If you frame them with great principles, you will lose your own fun."

Qiao Xinning's face was suffocated, she bit her lips and was about to say something when she heard Qiao Shufei's voice: "If that's the case, then tell me your answer and let everyone hear what's interesting."

This has whetted the appetite for a long time, and everyone in the hall is also curious about what Tong Ange's answer is.

Tong Ange pursed her lips: "My daughter's answer is flowers."

"what?"

Everyone looked at Tong Ange in astonishment, thinking that she had made a mistake. How could Mi's mother be Hua?

When Qiao Xinning heard this, she looked at Tong Ange with contempt: "I thought it was just for fun, but it turns out that it's just your nonsense!"

The emperor also raised his eyebrows and looked at Tong Ange: "Mi's mother is Hua? Where did this come from, reconciliation?"

Tong Ange was not in a hurry, pointed to a small dish of peanuts in front of him, and said: "The mystery and the answer of the minister's daughter come from this dish. Peanuts, peanuts and rice, the mother of rice, isn't it the flower?" Is it?" When she said this, there was a bit of playfulness in her voice, and there was agility in her eyebrows and eyes.

Su Yu's current appearance was completely caught in Su Yu's eyes. Hearing her fallacies, Su Yu raised her eyebrows, and became more and more curious about Tong Ange. A concubine who was raised in a deep boudoir and was unknown before, she always could Brings too much surprise and confusion.

Hearing this, the emperor frowned first, and then laughed: "Interesting, it's the first time I've heard that riddles can be guessed like this."

Hearing the emperor's words of praise and appreciation for Tong Ange, Concubine Qiao Shu's eyes flickered, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, Qiao Xinning bit her lips, her eyes full of resentment, but in front of the emperor, she could only endure After all, the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, how dare she say anything?
"The courtier's petty skills made the emperor laugh." Tong Ange said respectfully, as long as she doesn't trouble her.

"I think this trick is very interesting, you come up with another one, let everyone guess." The emperor said with great interest.

Tong Ange responded, and then said: "It's still related to Mi, who is Mi's grandmother?"

When she asked this, the people in the hall looked at Tong Ange with a little speechless eyes. Why did the Second Miss Tong have sex with Mi Gan?
"Ai Qing, who knows who is Mi's grandmother?" The emperor looked at the ministers above the hall.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, they all looked puzzled, and shook their heads: "Go back to the emperor, I don't know." This is the first time I heard that this rice has not only a mother, but also a grandmother!

Qiao Xinning glared angrily, as if she wanted to stare Tong Ange to death with her eyes.

Not only Qiao Xinning was unhappy looking at Tong Ange, but also Qiao Shi and Tong Yufu. Tong Yufu bit her lip, thinking that it would make Tong Ange look ugly, but unexpectedly, Tong Ange could make the emperor treat him differently, and Still full of limelight in front of so many people, it is really...

Trying not to make the jealousy on her face so obvious, Tong Yufu couldn't help but look up in Suyu's direction, and seeing Suyu's eyes fell on Tong Ange, her hands tightly covered under her sleeves Clenched tightly, even the sharp nails pierced into the palm without feeling the pain.

The emperor looked around and saw no one answered, so he raised his eyebrows: "Are there any dear ones who can guess this riddle?"

"Pen."

"Wonderful pen."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, two voices sounded from above the hall at the same time, namely Su Yu and Lin Weijia.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Wei frame smiled lightly: "It seems that Lin has thought of a place with the prince." Then, Lin Wei frame looked at Tong Ange: "Wonderful pens make flowers, peanuts, I don't know if this answer counts as Tong Er's answer." The lady's answer."

Tong Ange nodded: "Mr. Lin and the prince are quick-witted." This is not technical, and it's normal for someone to guess it.

Her gaze moved away from Lin Wei's face, and she suddenly met Su Yu's deep eyes. For no reason, a guilty conscience flashed in her heart. She really exposed too much in front of this man. He stared at her like this , Tong Ange clearly felt a sense of scrutiny from his eyes.

"Today's flower riddle is very interesting, thank you." The emperor said with obvious pleasure in his voice.

Tong Ange blessed himself and saluted: "My daughter, I thank the emperor for the reward."

Here, Qiao Xinning felt even more uncomfortable when she heard that the emperor wanted to reward Tong Ange. The last time today belonged to her, but now she was snatched away by Tong Ange, a humble concubine. How could she swallow it in her heart? With this tone, those eyes were staring at Tong Ange, as if they could spew out fire.

Concubine Qiao Shu watched the development of the situation in front of her and frowned. She did not expect that this unremarkable concubine would have such abilities. Looking at Qiao Xinning with an expression of displeasure, Concubine Qiao Shu narrowed her eyes, her eyes were extremely quick A glint of light flashed by.

"Your Majesty, according to the usual practice in previous years, the girls from each prefecture will draw lots to perform." Concubine Qiao Shu said to the Emperor with a smile.

At the emperor's birthday banquets in previous years, ladies from all the prefectures would perform on stage. If the emperor liked them, they would be included in the harem, and some suitable ones would be selected for the princes to accept as concubines. This is unwritten stipulated.

"Let Concubine Shu arrange it." The emperor said.

"Yes." Concubine Qiao Shu replied respectfully, a gleam flashed in her lowered eyes.

Also, there was a court lady holding a lottery tube to let the ladies draw lots. When it was Tong Ange's turn, she couldn't help but feel a little trembling in her heart. She just used her brain teaser to get away with it. If she was drawn to dance or something, Then she...

Feeling apprehensive, he glanced at the lottery he had drawn out. Almost instantly, Tong Ange felt that being struck by lightning was just the right time, place and people!

"Miss Tong, peacock dance." The maid holding the stick read it once, and another maid next to her registered it.

Waiting for the two maids to leave, Tong Ange's heart was still broken, no, it was as if ten thousand muddy horses were galloping past.

Concubine Qiao and the ladies all finished drawing lots, glanced at the register booklet of the maids, a smile flashed across their mouths, and said: "Your Majesty, let the ladies go down and prepare, and help the Emperor later."

"Ah."
