Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 125: Mystery

Nowadays, the people in Bianjing talk about the most about King Yong and King Yan.

King Yong was mediocre and King Yan was powerful. In comparison, King Yan had a higher voice for becoming the crown prince.

And King Yan only has one son, Zhao Xian, which means that once King Yan becomes the crown prince, Zhao Xian will definitely inherit the throne in the future.

"You don't need to be polite." Zhao Xian said quickly when he saw that the eyes of passers-by around him were attracted.

"Yuanruo, please introduce him to me."

"Yes."

Qi Heng responded and introduced them one by one.

Zhao Xian has a smile on his face, which makes people feel like spring breeze. Every time Qi Heng introduces someone, he will nod slightly, which makes people feel good.

When Qi Heng introduced Li An, Zhao Xian was surprised and said: "Are you the Li An and Li Ziqian who said that they are dedicated to the world?"

"His Royal Highness, I am none other than you!" Li An said with cupped hands.

To be honest, Zhao Xian does give people a good impression, but Li An feels that this person is not that simple.

And this encounter may not be a chance encounter. He suspected that Zhao Xian's target was Zhang Guifen.

Queen Yan's mother's clan is a large clan in the north and has a high prestige among the northern army. If they can marry with the British Duke, their chances of becoming the heir apparent will be greatly increased.

There were rumors before that King Yan wanted to marry the British Duke, but he was rejected by the British Duke Zhang Guifen who had a marriage contract with the second son of Zhongjing Hou.

Now it seems that this is not groundless.

However, in Li An's view, King Yan was a little too anxious.

As the first person in the army, the British prince is very sensitive. Before the official family has decided on a candidate for the crown prince, he will not support anyone at all.

Even if the official family decides, his status is not suitable for marriage with either King Yong or King Yan.

After all, for an emperor, even his own son will be on guard, let alone if he is not his own son.

The prince and the first man in the army have become a family. Can the official family still sleep?

But it’s not surprising when we think about how King Yan later even dared to rebel.

"Haha, I often read your words, and I have benefited a lot. I will ask you for advice when I have the opportunity in the future, and I hope Ziqian will not hesitate to give you some advice." Zhao Xian said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has disgraced me. No one in Bianjing knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very knowledgeable." Li An said quickly.

This is not a compliment to Li An, King Yan is strong, and the prince of Yan is also quite famous.

On the contrary, King Yong was mediocre, and although his descendants were numerous, they were also very mediocre.

This is also the reason why King Yan’s call to become the crown prince is stronger than King Yong’s.

Li An naturally heard that Zhao Xian wanted to win over him, but he knew what would happen next and did not want to have anything to do with him.

Zhao Xian naturally heard Li An's refusal, his expression did not change at all, and he smiled and said: "I feel bored walking alone, why don't we go together together, don't you mind?"

"It is our honor to be able to go with the Crown Prince. However, we are going to visit the lantern riddle area. I wonder if His Highness is willing to go." Qi Heng said.

Zhao Xian's identity is sensitive, and no one except Sheng Changfeng wants to have much interaction with him.

Regardless of whether it is the Zhang family or the Qi family, it is already the Duke's palace, and they do not want to get involved in such matters as establishing a prince.

But since Zhao Xian opened his mouth, it was hard to refuse.

"Haha, just in time, I'm going there too." Zhao Xian said with a smile.

He had said so, and everyone couldn't say anything else, so they headed towards Wen Street together.

Seeing that Li An and the others were a little reserved, Zhao Xian took the initiative to talk to them along the way, not leaving anyone out.

Prince Yan only came to the capital in recent years. He had been living in his fiefdom before that. Zhao Xian and everyone else also talked about the customs and practices of the north.

I have to say that Zhao Xian's methods are very clever. Even if Li An and the others don't want to interact with him, they can't dislike him after chatting all the way.

After a while, we came to the lantern riddle area, where everyone guessed pairs at various stalls and won a lot of money.

Mo Lan answered a question correctly and was praised a few times by Zhao Xian. After thanking him, he looked at Ru Lan proudly.

"What's so great about it?" Ru Lan curled her lips, but she still had sense, so she didn't say anything to ridicule him.

"Why don't Miss Zhang San guess the riddle?" Zhao Xian said with a smile.

Zhang Guifen said calmly: "The little girl doesn't study much. She just came here to join in the fun. She won't show off her shame. Your Highness, you don't have to worry about me."

"Haha, I've been playing riddles for a while, why don't we go shopping elsewhere." Zhao Xian looked at the crowd and suggested.

Rulan heard the words and said: "Okay, the riddles here are not as good as those from brother Ziqian. They are not interesting at all. Let's go somewhere else."

Mo Lan looked at her proudly every time she answered a question correctly. Ru Lan was so angry that she went to answer it once, but failed to answer it and she no longer wanted to hang out here.

"Oh?" Zhao Xian looked at Li An in surprise and said with a smile: "Is Zi Qian's riddle difficult? How about a few for us to guess?"

"Uh..." Li An's face froze and he said, "I was just joking, it's not really a riddle, so let's forget it."

Just kidding, Zhao Xian is trying to pick up girls. If he were to give Zhao Xian some brain teasers, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?

By then, Zhao Xian was probably so angry that he wanted to kill him.

"Brother Ziqian, please stop being modest. Even the second brother can't guess many of the riddles you come up with," Rulan said.

If Li An asks a question, Mo Lan won't be able to answer many questions. It's up to her how confident she will be when the time comes.

"Fifth sister!"

Sheng Changbai glared at Rulan, and Minglan also pulled her and shook her head slightly.

"My sister's nonsense made His Royal Highness laugh." Sheng Changbai cupped his hands.

"Haha, Zicheng was joking. It's not a big deal. But I really want to see Zi Qian's mystery." Zhao Xian looked at Li An with a smile.

Li An sighed secretly, it seemed that it would be impossible if he didn't come out.

Regarding Zhao Xian, Li An's idea is not to offend him if he doesn't get close to him.

Although he knew that King Yan would not become emperor, it was still several years before he rebelled. If Zhao Xian was offended, there would be a lot of trouble later.

Moreover, he is a fierce man who dares to rebel. Who knows if he will send someone to deal with him when he takes action.

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, then I will come up with one."

After Li An finished speaking, he began to think deeply. In order not to embarrass Zhao Xian, it would be best to give an answer that no one could answer.

Although he asked a simple question, Sheng Changbai and the others could answer it but they could not, but Mo Lan and Sheng Changfeng were not easy to deal with him.

Even if he comes up with a simple question, Zhao Xian has never seen a brainteaser, so he probably won't be able to answer it.

But Mo Lan had seen brain teasers before, and if Mo Lan deliberately tricked him into answering, he would be in trouble.

After thinking carefully for a while, Li An said: "Three people stayed in the hotel together, and each person paid ten cents. Because it was too late, there was no hot water. The shopkeeper felt sorry, so he asked the waiter to return five cents. The waiter returned five cents. Being greedy, I secretly hid two pennies and only returned three pennies."

"Each guest took one penny, which means that each person staying in the hotel spent nine pence, adding up to a total of twenty-seven pence. In addition to the two pence hidden by the waiter, that is twenty-nine pence. Then there is still one penny. went?"
