The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 199 Buying Lanterns and Guessing Lantern Riddles
The owner of the counter was calculating with his abacus.
A quarter of an hour later, he came over with the list.
"Girl, please take a look!"
Shen Jiarou took it and looked at it. "Fifty taels? Not bad. Sister Qingling, pay the bill."
Ruan Qingling picked up the purse, took out a few silver ingots and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Oh, thanks girl."
Bao Zhiqing was a little troubled when he saw that the princess really bought it.
"Princess, there are so many. How can we get them back?"
Shen Jiarou was stunned. She had never thought about this question before.
The shopkeeper was a shrewd man and could see everyone's embarrassment.
"How about sending it to your house?"
Shen Jiarou's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll trouble the shopkeeper then."
Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling, took the purse, and took out some change.
"Thanks for your hard work."
The shopkeeper sighed at the other party's generosity, saying that this was probably worth several taels of silver.
"polite."
After everyone had made their selection, they handed them over to their guards to carry, and the shopkeeper instructed the waiter to deliver the remaining lanterns to the address given by Zheng Shutong.
When he saw the address, his eyes widened in shock.
Princess Yongkang’s Mansion?
He glanced at the little person sitting quietly and was shocked. Could she be Princess Yongkang?
Bao Zhiqing saw what the shopkeeper was thinking and nodded politely to him.
"Sorry for the trouble, but please keep it a secret, boss."
The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Young man, you are right. Don't worry, the lanterns will be delivered to you."
Shen Jiarou walked to the door and felt a little bit sorry for her father who was alone in the Tang Mansion.
She looked at the bustling street market and decided to pick some items and have them delivered later.
After a while, everyone kept shopping. It turned out that in that era, women all loved shopping.
The third princess looked ahead at the place where the riddle was, and pulled her sister over with surprise.
"Sister, let's play a guessing game." The other three also followed.
The riddle of the bamboo boat oar: Green branches and leaves at my mother's home, thin and yellow at my husband's home. It would be fine if I didn't mention it, but when I do, I burst into tears.
The riddle of "Eating Melon Seeds" says: "A black boat loaded with white rice was sent to the government office. The government office opened its doors and the empty boat returned.
The former reflects the unfortunate experiences and miserable moods of working women in the old society, while the latter incisively exposes the oppression of the people by the reactionary government.
The Third Princess and Shen Jiarou both shook their heads after reading the two riddles in front of them.
Their knowledge storage is not so great.
Shen Jiarou continued to look at the next riddle:
I have been drunk in the piano room all day long (guess the name of a card game).
"Boss, is this Ru Meng Ling?"
"Oh, the little girl is amazing."
Shen Jiarou successfully earned five cents, which surprised Ruan Qingling and others.
"The master is awesome."
"My aunt is amazing."
……
The third princess watched Dayu become king (guess a solar term), and she looked at her sister who received the reward with confusion.
"Sister, come and look at this question."
Shen Jiarou stood on tiptoe and looked over. "Boss, this is the beginning of summer, right?"
The old man came over again and said, "Little girl, you are so smart. The answer is."
Shen Jiarou handed five cents to the third princess, who was stunned.
"Why give it to me?" Didn't she guess it herself?
"Hey, sister, take it quickly."
A gentle voice sounded, "Boss, this is fun. Yes"
Everyone looked over and saw a bookish young man looking at the boss with a faint smile.
"Sir, you guessed right."
Shen Jiarou glanced at the other person, and when she looked away, the young man just happened to see her profile.
The girl has bright eyes and white teeth. She is dressed in purple, which makes her look gentle and quiet. A purple headband adorns her hair. She chats with us with a bright smile.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and turned away with his entourage and guards.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was stunned when he received the carp lantern sent by Li Zongyou.
"Master, the master said that he hopes you will have more than enough every year and have a happy life every year."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was touched and reached out to take it.
"Thank you."
"Here are some snacks from the street. If you don't like them, you can give them to the servants."
"Well, go and protect the princess."
Watching Li Zongyou, who had a sword on his waist, leave, Tang Wenzong held the cake in his hand, and tears seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Master." Li Leping looked at his master worriedly.
Tang Wenzong smiled gently and said, "I'm fine. Come, sit down and accompany me. Let's eat together."
Li Leping cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir."
Seeing that it was getting late, Ruan Qingling, one of the senior palace maids, began to urge them.
"Master, we should go back."
The Third Princess, Princess Muxue, Princess Le'an, and Princess Kangmei looked a little disappointed when they heard this.
They had finally come out to have fun, and it was finally time to go back.
Before returning to the palace, Shen Jiarou greeted everyone.
"You guys go back first, I'll go see dad."
The third princess understood and carefully reminded him, "Then you should be careful and we will go back first."
After watching everyone get on the carriage and leave, Shen Jiarou looked at the people around her.
"Let's go."
When he turned around, he passed by the young man from before.
"Master, please slow down."
The young man walked to the door of Shiyaxuan Restaurant and suddenly turned around, just in time to see the girl bending down to get into the carriage.
The attendant beside him asked, "Sir, what are you looking at?"
The young man came to his senses and shook his head slightly.
"nothing."
The two guards in front of the Tang Mansion were stunned when they saw the princess getting off the carriage.
"Princess..." The two looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Your servant greets the princess."
"Excuse me, where's daddy?"
"The master has not left the house today, so he should be in the dining hall now."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang prepared to finish his dinner early, wash, change clothes and go to bed.
A pretty voice rang out, "Daddy, my daughter is back."
Emperor Wenzong of Tang and brothers Li Leping were shocked.
"See Princess."
"Why is the princess back? Shouldn't she be back in the palace at this time?"
"I'm here to spend the Lantern Festival with Daddy, and I'll be back soon."
When Li Leping heard this, he realized that the princess wanted to have dinner with the master, and he quickly arranged for someone to add a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Emperor Wenzong of Tang was so touched. The little girl was so thoughtful.
"It doesn't affect you, does it?"
"My daughter will only stay for a quarter of an hour. Come, Daddy, I will serve you some soup. I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone was amused by her heroic spirit. "You little devil."
Tang Wenzong's face was full of pampering. "Okay, let's do it."
Then the four of them toasted together. Shen Jiarou quickly ate some dishes and put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Dad, I'm done eating. I'll leave today and come back to see you another day."
"Okay, okay, go slowly on the road."
At the royal family banquet, everyone has arrived.
The Queen Mother looked at the empty seat, puzzled.
"Yiyi girl hasn't come yet?"
Hearing this, the four people who left the palace together looked at each other, and the third princess stood up and bowed to explain.
"Grandmother, I guess my sister was delayed on the way."
Concubine Zhang chuckled, "You knew what day it was, but you still went out to have fun. How unruly."
In a word, he offended Prince Su's Mansion, Prince An's Mansion, Prince Rong's Mansion, Concubine De's mother and daughter, as well as the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager.
The virtuous concubine pretended to drink tea to hide her surprise.
This imperial concubine is really brainless. She offended more than a dozen people with just one sentence, and they are all people who should not be underestimated.
Prince Su blew his beard and glared, "My Lady Concubine, do you have any problem with me?"
Concubine Zhang was shocked and felt regretful.
