Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Mei Susu opened her mouth slightly and thought about everything that had happened in the past, and found that they could actually be connected together.

"If the army is withdrawn, then there will be no need to fight. Wouldn't the weapons in Cheche's cave be useless?"

Xuanyuan Che looked down at her and said, "If we really want to fight, how can we make weapons on the day of the war?"

Mei Susu said "oh", it seems to be true. If we really make it at that time, it will be too late to make up for the loss.

"Besides...things are not over yet." Xuanyuan Che narrowed his eyes.

Mei Susu tightened her grip on his collar, and her heart, which had just been at ease, was lifted up again.

Indeed, Zuo Qingxian said that the Taoists seemed to be interested in interfering in this matter, but until now, the Taoists did not seem to have made a serious appearance.

And there is Xuanyuan Yue. She married the fifth prince of Huangyan. How can she guarantee that she will not cause trouble after the fall of the Cao family?

As for those who followed the Cao family, Cao He had been a general for more than ten years, and he must have trusted people under him. If those people knew what happened to Cao He, they might come to take revenge.

It seems that the fall of the Cao family is the end of things, but maybe it is the beginning of things.

The show was over and there was nothing to watch anymore. Xuanyuan Che took Mei Susu to Shangjingxuan to eat lotus cake.

Shangjingxuan is particularly lively today, with lights and decorations everywhere, and a festive atmosphere of red.

Looking at the hibiscus flower-shaped pastries in the bowl, Mei Susu leaned over and smelled it. The floral fragrance mixed with the aroma of milk was refreshing.

"This hibiscus cake looks so delicate, it doesn't look like a cake, but like a real hibiscus flower. It smells fragrant and must taste delicious."

Mei Susu took the jade spoon and wanted to scoop, but the spoon fell on the left side, which she felt was not right. She then fell on the right side, which was still not right. Finally, she pouted in distress.

The hibiscus cake was so delicious, what should she do if she couldn't bear to eat it.

"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Che asked as he looked at the jade spoon that she was about to drop.

Mei Susu raised her head with a sad face.

Seeing her expression, Xuanyuan Che's brows tightened. He immediately took the hibiscus cake and brought it close to his nose to smell it. When he couldn't smell anything wrong, he directly picked up the jade spoon and scooped a corner and put it into his mouth.

It happened so fast that Mei Susu didn't have time to stop it.

The exquisite hibiscus flower was missing a corner.

"No problem, why doesn't Susu eat?"

Xuanyuan Che, who had tasted the hibiscus cake, did not notice anything unusual, so he looked at the person in his arms.

Mei Susu bit the jade spoon with her red lips and looked at him aggrievedly. She glanced at the hibiscus flower that had a corner missing and felt like crying but had no tears.

"Just now I saw that the hibiscus flower was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to eat it."

This means that I couldn't bear to eat it just now, but you ate my hibiscus petals, so what can I do? You have to compensate me.

Xuanyuan Che was speechless for a moment. He thought there was something wrong with the lotus cake, but he had no idea that he had misunderstood.

"It's my fault. I ruined Susu's hibiscus flowers."

Xuanyuan Che pinched her little face and said, "Can I compensate Su Su?"

"Okay!" Mei Susu's eyes lit up. That's great.

She ate the one in front of her, and took the remaining one back for Yueya and others to try.

Xuanyuan Che scratched her nose lovingly and said, "Chasing the shadow."

Zhuiying pushed the door open and walked in: "Master."

"Tell Zhi Miao to prepare another portion of lotus cake."

Zhuiying nodded and was about to leave when Mei Susu hurriedly called him back.

"Brother Zhuiying, please tell Sister Zhimiao that I want to take it back to the palace. Give me a food box."

"I'll go right away." Zhuiying clasped his fists and left the room.

There is a poetry gathering at Shangjingxuan today, and the prize is two beautiful glazed crystal rabbit lanterns. Because there will be a night lantern festival tomorrow, many people want to get the two lanterns so that they can stand out tomorrow.

Mei Susu was not interested at first, until Xuanyuan Che took the initiative to mention that he would take her out to participate in the annual lantern festival the next day, then she became interested.

It is really urgent to make a unique and beautiful lantern in just two days.

It just so happens that I happened to catch this poetry gathering today, so I might as well join in. Maybe I can win two rabbit lanterns, and I don’t have to rush to make lanterns.

By the time Mei Susu pulled Xuanyuan Che downstairs, the poetry reading was already halfway through.

This poetry reading is different from the last one. Last time, almost all the guests were dignitaries, and the topics asked were not simple.

But this time the poetry reading is not about answering questions, but about guessing riddles.

There are sixty-six lanterns on the scene, and each lantern has a question on it, guess a word, guess a poem, guess the solar term... In the end, the person who answers the most questions correctly wins.

Mei Susu was confident. After all, she was a literary leader from the 21st century, so there was no way any puzzle could stump her.

until.......

"The lotus leaves move in the windless air? Guess a word?"

Mei Susu stood in front of the first question and scratched the back of her hand in distress. What kind of question was this?

There were many people around her who were suffering the same trouble as her. Some said it was Lan, some said it was Lian, and they were talking at once, but Mei Susu just kept shaking her head as they listened.

No, they are all wrong.

Xuanyuan Che stood behind Mei Susu to protect her. He looked at the puzzle and guessed the answer in an instant.

He smiled and looked down at the distressed little person in his arms: "Susu, do you need any hints?"

Mei Susu shook her little head like a rattle: "No, I think I know."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Che became interested: "Su Su actually guessed it, tell me about it."

Mei Susu narrowed her eyes, thought for a while, then smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "It's the word 'Heng'."

Her voice was quite loud and everyone looked at her. After seeing her appearance, they were all shocked. What a pretty girl.

"Why did Susu guess it was the word 'Heng'?"

Mei Susu took a step forward in a serious manner, stretched out her hand and gestured in the air, saying as she gestured: "Because the lotus leaves move without wind, there must be big fish swimming. The character is "big fish swimming", big + fish + swimming is Heng!"

She turned her head with sparkling eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Che: "Am I right, Cheche?"

Xuanyuan Che was dazzled by her cute appearance. He was stunned for a moment before reaching out to pinch her face: "What Su Su said is right."

The servant in front of the lantern struck the gong and drum and shouted, "Lotus leaves move without wind! Answer: Heng! One point!"

After saying that, the servant waved his hand and wrote the answer on a wooden sign and hung it at the bottom of the lantern. Then he gave Mei Susu a wooden sign with the word "一" written on it.

Only after holding the wooden sign did Mei Susu realize that any question without a wooden sign under the lantern had not been answered.

She looked around and saw that there were only a few lanterns hanging out of the sixty-six lanterns on the field. The poetry competition had a time limit, and the one who answered the most questions in three hours would win. That was to say, she only needed to answer the most questions in the remaining time to get the rabbit lantern.

Mei Susu answered the first question correctly, and her confidence increased. She immediately pulled Xuanyuan Che to the second question.

Xuanyuan Che's eyes were full of doting as he followed her to the second lantern.
