The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

The excitement of the Lantern Festival is obviously not only about the street vendors, but also about the various rich activities.

For example, guessing riddles, lighting lanterns, etc.

The street that Lu Junze brought Gu Shijin to was not very big, and one could see the end at a glance, but it was the famous Lantern Festival in the capital.

All the shops inside sell lanterns or lantern riddles.

From afar, the colorful lights look like the bright moon and stars floating on the Milky Way. The lights are so bright that people can't help but indulge in them.

These lights were different from the ones Gu Shijin had seen in his previous life. These lights were vivid and lifelike.

Near the street entrance, there is a platform in front of a shop with lanterns of various shapes hanging on it, including rabbits, fish, lotus flowers, etc. The most eye-catching one is the glazed lotus lantern hanging at the top.

Colored glass is rare to begin with, and making it into the shape of a lotus is even more difficult. The people gathering in front of the shop were basically there for this lamp.

"Boss, it's been so long, and you still haven't told me how to get that glass lotus lantern." Someone who had been waiting for a long time said dissatisfiedly.

"Everyone, everyone," the boss raised his hands and pressed them down: "Everyone, please be patient, I will explain the rules now."

The boss looked to be a man in his fifties or sixties, with a long beard.

His face was filled with a happy smile, and he squinted his eyes and said, "This glass lotus lantern is not for sale. If you want to get it, you must abide by my rules."

"The rules are simple. Guess the riddles. Whoever can guess 100 riddles in a row will own the glass lotus lantern."

The old man spoke slowly, but every word he said was clear.

In fact, everyone had guessed that it was a riddle, but guessing all 100 of them correctly was still a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

However, glass lanterns are rare. In such a large lantern market, only this old man has one.

The old man: "I have explained the rules clearly. Is there anyone willing to come on stage and give it a try?"

"I'll do it." A young man walked out confidently.

"Okay, then please come up to the stage, sir."

"I'm starting to ask questions."

"The first question is, big has a head, middle has no heart, small has the whole body."

"Beijing." The young man answered confidently.

The old man smiled and continued: "The second question..."

It can be seen that this young man is quite knowledgeable, as he answered more than seventy questions in a row.

Several more people came on stage one after another, but unfortunately no one succeeded in the challenge.

Gu Shijin stared at it intently.

"Like?" Lu Junze asked.

Gu Shijin nodded: "I like it."

She likes the glass lotus lantern and she also likes the challenge, but she has a clear understanding of her own level of knowledge and it is definitely not possible.

Lu Junze touched Gu Shijin's head, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "If you like me, I will win it for you."

Gu Shijin's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Lu Junze: "Really? Master."

"Of course, you have no joke."

After saying that, Lu Junze went on stage.

"When this young master is ready, I will ask the question."

Lu Junze: “Please.”

"The first question is, eight brothers watching the moon together."

"Take off."

"Question 2: Ten scholars."

"official."

"The third question: My heart is thousands of miles away."

"barge."

"Question 4: The waves on the winding river splash on the dragon boat."

"patrol."

……

Gu Shijin could still guess some of the answers at the beginning, but it became more and more difficult as time went on. Gu Shijin could only watch Lu Junze answer.

As expected of the Emperor, he answered every question fluently, as if he didn’t need to think too much.

"Question 90: East, West, South, and North, no way out."

"Stupefied."

The scene had become quiet. Apart from the conversation between the old man and Lu Junze, everyone else held their breath and waited for the result.

"For the 100th question, I will present it to you and compare it with Xizhi."

"lute."

"Pa pa pa..." There was intense applause from the audience. Gu Shijin was the most excited and his hands turned red from clapping.

The old man clasped his fists and congratulated, "Congratulations, young master, you have answered all 100 questions correctly. This glass lotus lantern is yours."

Soon, the old man took down the lantern and handed it to Lu Junze.

"Thank you." Lu Junze said.

"You are very knowledgeable, you deserve it."

"Master, you are so awesome." Gu Shijin looked at Lu Junze with admiration in his eyes.

"Here, I'll give it to you." Lu Junze handed the lantern to Gu Shijin, then hugged her to avoid being squeezed by the crowd: "Is that amazing?"

"Yes." Gu Shijin nodded vigorously: "I am the only one who did it. I answered 100 questions correctly."

Although the glass lotus lanterns are gone, there are still many other beautiful lanterns in the shop, and the atmosphere is still very good.

"Come on, I'll take you to light lanterns." Lu Junze said.

Gu Shijin looked at the glass lotus lantern in her hand and suddenly became tangled. She looked at Lu Junze and blinked: "Master~"

Lu Junze smiled at her and deliberately asked, "Don't you want to let it go?"

"Reluctant to give up..."

This lantern is so beautiful that Gu Shijin really doesn’t want to let it go.

"This is what I won for Jin'er, Jin'er can't bear to part with it~" Gu Shijin said coquettishly.

No one could resist Gu Shijin's coquettish behavior, let alone Lu Junze who already had a good impression of Gu Shijin.

But Lu Junze deliberately said: "Then don't set off lanterns?"

Gu Shijin stood on tiptoe, crawled to Lu Junze's ear and said, "Master~~"

The word "Master" sounded so tortuous and tingling that Lu Junze felt itchy inside.

"I'll buy you another one."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Gu Shijin said sweetly.

Gu Shijin picked two more in this store, one was in the shape of a little rabbit holding a carrot, and the other was in the shape of a lotus.

Gu Shijin picked up the lotus lantern and handed it to Lu Junze, saying, "Master, this is for you."

"it is good."

There is a river next to the Lantern Festival, and many people release lanterns here. Lu Junze and Gu Shijin found a location with a good view.

"Master, just put it here."

Gu Shijin was holding two lanterns in his hands, with a smile on his face, which made people happy just by looking at him.

Lu Junze: “Okay.”

Lu Junze felt that one of the reasons why he liked being with Gu Shijin was that she was not afraid of him. When she was with him, she would not try to please him deliberately, and her expression was very vivid. She was Gu Shijin.

He liked her like this, and it made Lu Junze relax. He could briefly think of himself as just an ordinary citizen, not a king who had to consider the world.

"Master, let him go." Seeing Lu Junze in a daze, Gu Shijin pulled his sleeve.

"it is good."

"Master, make a wish."

Lu Junze didn't believe this, but seeing Shi Jin so happy, he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

Lu Junze: "What wish did you make?"

"If you don't tell me, the wish won't come true anymore." Gu Shijin said.

"Okay, no matter what wish Jin'er makes, I hope her wish can come true." Lu Junze took Gu Shijin's hand and said as they walked.

"Thank you, Master. Jin'er also hopes that your wish will come true."
