Back to the Snow

Chapter 252 The Lantern Riddle of Tai Hospital

Fireworks exploded again, illuminating the entire sky.

Many riddles on the lanterns of different colors have been guessed one after another.

A happy situation.

Long Jue, who was watching the fireworks and playing riddles with the queen mother, found that the snow-white figure was missing in a blink of an eye.

Looking around, under the tree not far away, I saw that Bai Xuebai was holding a few paintbrushes, making a little boy for the man who was painting at the side.

My heart suddenly settled down.

Long Jue said: "Did the lanterns from Taiyuan Hospital be delivered this year?"

Hearing this, Cang Zhe, with black hair and white beard, stepped forward and said: "Go back to the emperor, the lanterns of the imperial hospital are already hanging on the plum tree over there."

Not long after, a palace official brought forward a lantern in the shape of a snow lotus.

But I saw the lantern riddle above, a simple sentence: look up at the bright moon. --- Type the name of the medicine.

"Look up at the bright moon?"

Long Jue said with a smile: "Who can guess the outstanding love?"

The crowd began to discuss.

The Empress Dowager in the middle smiled and said, "As expected of a Tai Hospital, even lantern riddles have to be labeled with the name of the medicine. Isn't this difficult for us who don't understand medicine?"

Cang Zhe hastily bowed and bowed: "I dare not! Our Dragon Dynasty is full of talented people, how can a mere lantern riddle win the attention of the talented scholars and beauties in the harem above the high hall?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled, and said to Long Jue, "Emperor, look, this warehouse manager can say such witty words."

Long Jue smiled apologetically, "Can the queen mother guess what?"

In the crowd, a boy in brown clothes quietly gave a wink to a maid in green clothes beside the queen mother, and the maid quietly came out.

The young man said something to the palace maid, the palace maid nodded and returned to her original position.

"Empress Dowager, your ginseng tea." The green-clothed palace maid brought tea and presented it to the Empress Dowager.

At the same time, she signaled the queen mother to look at the tray.

The Empress Dowager took the tea, pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "But Angelica?"

Long Jue asked: "Master Cang, what's the answer?"

But the old man with black hair and silver beard bowed deeply: "The queen mother really admires the old minister! Even the expertise of my imperial hospital has been seen through by the queen mother."

He raised his head and said to Long Jue: "Back to the emperor, the answer to the mystery is 'angelica'."
