Chapter 588 The Emperor Feels She Deserves the Best of Everything in the World
Nangong Xuanyu avoided Shen Zhinian's burning gaze, his eyes flickered: "... This is naturally the first time for me to come out with a woman to celebrate the Lantern Festival and enjoy the lanterns."
He just didn't want to make Nian Nian sad, so it couldn't be considered a lie...
Li Changde followed behind him, almost stumbling...
During the Lantern Festival many years ago, when His Majesty, who was still a prince, went out of the palace incognito clothes with His Majesty, who was still a concubine, to appreciate the lanterns, he accompanied them the entire time.
What surprised Li Changde was not that His Majesty actually lied in front of Concubine Xian.
As His Majesty, he doesn't need to fool anyone. But in front of the Concubine Xian, His Majesty is completely different from the former His Majesty...
"I see."
"Then Nian Nian is really lucky to be the only one for her husband in this matter."
When Shen Zhinian said this, the smile did not reach his eyes.
Ah!
She knew that a man's mouth was a liar!
If she didn't know the truth, she would definitely be deeply moved by Nangong Xuanyu tonight.
In the past, Shen Zhinian always thought that Concubine Shu was extremely stupid. She knew that the emperor was ruthless, but she still foolishly gave her true heart to him.
Now it seems... maybe it's not that Concubine Shu is too stupid, but that this man is too good at deceiving women.
As long as he wants, he can pamper a woman to the sky. Which young girl who is inexperienced in the world can withstand such an attack?
It was Nangong Xuanyu who lied to her first.
Then from now on, she discovered that the memories she cherished were actually what Nangong Xuanyu had experienced with Concubine Shu a long time ago.
Then it was only natural for her to take advantage of the situation and have a fight with him, right?
Shen Zhinian lowered his eyes to hide the flash of evil amusement in his eyes.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the most crowded and lively street.
A large group of people gathered under the rows of lanterns in front.
Li Changde said with a smile: "Sixth Master, Madam, it seems to be a lantern riddle guessing activity."
Shen Zhinian raised her palm-sized face and looked at Nangong Xuanyu expectantly: "As long as it is a lantern that Nian Nian likes, will your husband win it for her?"
The more beautiful things they experienced today, the deeper the feelings Nangong Xuanyu felt when this beauty was broken!
Looking at Shen Zhinian's trusting and expectant eyes, Nangong Xuanyu reached out and rubbed the top of her head: "Of course."
There were a lot of people gathered at the scene, including some very famous talents in Beijing.
However, Nangong Xuanyu's immortal-like appearance, coupled with his incomparable noble demeanor, still attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared.
Especially some shy girls, when their eyes fell on him, after being amazed, their pretty faces turned slightly red.
There were a few brave ones who wanted to go up and talk to him, but when they saw Shen Zhinian standing next to him, they couldn't help but stop.
Although this lady was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen clearly, one could tell from her tall and slender figure and her temperament that she was definitely a beauty.
They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match. Why should they go up to them and make themselves miserable?
The lantern is divided into nine layers in total.
The lanterns on the bottom layer are the most numerous and the simplest.
As you go up a level, the number decreases and the pieces become more refined.
There is only one lantern on the top layer, which is in the shape of a lifelike jade rabbit. It looks so cute!
This Jade Rabbit Lantern is extremely beautifully made, with the candlelight shining through the colored paper, emitting colorful light.
I heard from the store owner that if you pull the rope above, the jade rabbit will dance.
The cute appearance and exquisite design make it very popular among girls!
Some women who were traveling with their lovers cast their determined glances toward it, hoping that their lovers could win the Jade Rabbit Lantern for them.
There are also many scholars and students who hope to win the first prize and become famous in one fell swoop!
Especially with so many young girls today, they are more eager to show off their charm and attract everyone's attention.
The rules for winning lanterns are simple. There is a riddle written on each lantern, and you get a few coins for each guess.
If you guess correctly, you can take the lantern away.
If you guess wrong, the copper coin will naturally belong to the store owner.
The second level can only begin after all the riddles on the first level have been guessed.
Shen Zhinian pointed at the Jade Rabbit Lantern on the top, looked at Nangong Xuanyu and blinked, and asked playfully: "Nian Nian wants the most beautiful one, can your husband do it?"
For some reason, looking at the familiar scene, Nangong Xuanyu inappropriately recalled the Lantern Festival many years ago.
No matter how spoiled Concubine Shu was, she was sensible when facing him.
She knew that he was very busy with official duties, and it was not easy for him to take time out of his busy schedule to take her out to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
So that night, she never asked him for anything. In order to save time, she only let him guess the lantern at the bottom, the one with the crudest workmanship.
Unlike Nian Nian, who asked for the top-level, most difficult lantern as soon as she opened her mouth.
But Nangong Xuanyu didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he thought that this was how it should be.
Such a beautiful thought deserves the best in the world!
It’s normal that those crude lanterns don’t catch her eye.
Little did she know... under the subtle influence of Shen Zhinian, the higher her demands, the less Nangong Xuanyu dared to fool her.
Because when a woman despises herself, men will often start to pay less attention to her.
"Since it is Madam's request, I dare not disobey."
Shen Zhinian stood by and watched with a smile, and Nangong Xuanyu joined the team to guess riddles.
Being able to break through the siege in the fight for the throne, Shen Zhinian has never underestimated Nangong Xuanyu's talent.
If he couldn't even win a jade rabbit lantern, he would be emperor in vain.
At the beginning, many people crowded around and participated in guessing riddles.
Gradually, all the riddles on the first level were guessed.
The riddles on the second level have also been guessed...
The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.
Some scholars scratched their heads but could not come up with the answer, and reluctantly withdrew from the competition.
Others took the lanterns they won and gave them to their loved ones.
Some women took it shyly, or went to other places with their lovers with a smile, or stayed to watch the fun.
Others were dissatisfied with the lanterns that the other party won and frowned unhappily. But they also understood that it was not so easy to win the first prize, so they sighed and accepted the reality.
The only thing in common is that everyone is curious about which young man with outstanding talent will be the ultimate winner?
As the number of people guessing riddles gradually decreased, Shen Zhinian could see their appearances clearly.
When she saw one of them, a hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Why is Jiang Lingzhou here?
So, the glimpse she had in the Maowen Building before wasn't just an illusion?
Jiang Lingzhou's figure was still thin, and his slightly pale face revealed a sense of illness.
But compared to the last time I saw him in Wangbang Tower, he looked much better.
