Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband

Liu Jingyao and Li Chan only realized they were guessing riddles when they got closer.

Li Chan glanced at Ji Xiao on the stage with disdain.

The atmosphere on stage remained lively.

"The Emperor's son rides the wind down the verdant hills (name of a flower)"

Cyclamen

"Flowers love to climb fences, their blossoms blooming like trumpets (Guess the flower)."

Morning glory.

"It has leaves but no flowers, and flowers without leaves (guess the flower). Please answer, Your Excellency."

This is the fifteenth already, and the boss is getting a little nervous!

At this moment, Ji Xiao was stumped.

What flower blooms without leaves, or grows leaves but has no flowers?

I went through all the flowers in my mind and none of them seemed right.

I pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out!

When the time was finally up, the boss walked forward with a smile.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you can't guess this?"

Ji Xiao shook his head helplessly, "I can't guess!"

The onlookers below the stage agreed, saying, "Sigh, that's fifteen already, what a pity!"

"Sigh, the riddles that follow are even harder."

"Hehe, can you guess who this queen is?"

"I...I can't guess either!"

Ji Beichen and Shen Qingxi also stood below the stage with sighs on their faces.

"These riddles are too difficult!" Shen Qingxi said with some dissatisfaction.

Ji Beichen nodded slightly, "It is indeed quite difficult!"

Shen Qingxi turned to Han Zixuan and asked curiously, "My lady, can you guess the riddle the boss mentioned?"

Han Zixuan simply smiled faintly, "It's alright, not too difficult!"

She has some experience with games like riddles and brain teasers.

"Really? My lady, do you know what it is?" Shen Qingxi looked at Han Zixuan with excitement, and Ji Beichen also turned his gaze towards her.

Ji Xiao on stage immediately fixed her gaze on Han Zixuan.

"What is Zixuan?"

The boss quickly stopped her and explained the rules, "Oh, oh, lady, your answer time has expired."

Even if you say it again, it won't count!

Ji Xiao waved her hand, "I know, I can take a joke! Zixuan, tell me quickly!"

Everyone looked on curiously, and Han Zixuan uttered two words!

"Lycoris radiata!"

"Oh, it's that!"

"I didn't even think of that."

Ji Xiao lowered his fist to his palm, and you, unwilling to accept this, turned to look at the lamp seller!

"Can I try again?!"

The boss said with a smile, "Okay, but we'll have to start from the beginning, and the riddles will be more difficult!"

Ji Xiao was somewhat discouraged after hearing this, and she hesitated, not having much confidence in the riddles that followed.

Ji Beichen quickly stopped her, "Hey Xiaoxiao, maybe we should just forget about it!"

Ji Xiao looked at her brother with some shame; she had already made such a boastful statement.

How could they just let it go like that? He turned to look at Han Zixuan.

They grabbed her and pushed her onto the stage. Before Han Zixuan could react, she was already standing on the stage.

He shook his head speechlessly at the person who had pushed him up from below.

"We have another person whose knowledge is among the best in our Mingjing Hall!"

"Zixuan, that lamp is all up to you!"

Ji Xiao clasped his hands together and looked at Han Zixuan pleadingly, "You just focus on the riddles, I'll take care of the rest!"

But then a burst of snickering came from behind.

"What a joke! This is all the literary talent the Mingjing Hall has. They've really fallen into decline!"

"Let's hurry back, lest we make a fool of ourselves by not being able to guess correctly at the end."

Upon seeing that Ji Xiao had guessed incorrectly, Li Chan couldn't help but mock him.

Han Zixuan came to her senses and looked around. Really, she was everywhere.

"The lady next to me is Liu Jingyao, a famous talented woman from Zhiyuan Academy!"

Li Chan looked at Han Zixuan and the others with great pride!

Liu Jingyao bowed gracefully and said, "Greetings, everyone."

He glanced at Ji Xiao and Han Zixuan's forced smiles and polite greetings.

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you all here!"

Ji Xiao's face fell. "What a coincidence! I would have thought it was bad luck to run into you on the Lantern Festival!"

How can I alone represent the entire Mingjing Hall, and she can't represent Zhiyuan Academy either.

There's no way to compare the two of us.

Li Chan frowned. "You... Hmph, ignorant fool! You can't even guess the riddles and you still have the nerve to come on stage."

"It's my choice to go on stage, what's it to you!"

Ji Xiao nonchalantly turned her gaze to the stage.

Han Zixuan glanced at the two of them coldly without saying a word.

Li Chanyou remembered being slapped by Han Zixuan, and he was terrified, unable to meet her gaze.

Then I saw colorful glass lanterns, which made me very happy.

She moved a little closer to Liu Jingyao and said, "Sister Jingyao, look how beautiful that lantern is!"

Liu Jingyao noticed it too and asked gently, "If Chan'er likes it, I'll win it for you later!"

She was more than happy to win Li Chan's favor, as Magistrate Li had already hinted at it.

To marry Li Chan, one must have the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the imperial examinations). Now, he is very optimistic about his chances!

She must seize this opportunity; if she becomes Magistrate Li's daughter-in-law, she will be recommended to study in the prefectural city.

Perhaps with this title, her path to advancement will be smoother.

"Okay, Sister Jingyao, you're so kind!" Sister Jingyao is truly the best woman in the world!

The two women turned their attention to the stage, ready to go up if Han Zixuan couldn't guess their moves.

The boss on stage asked, "44. Riddle: It has a head but no neck, its body is cold, it has wings but can't fly, and it can walk without feet. (Guess an animal)"

Han Zixuan handles the "fish" with ease.

"A creature is born strong, busy weaving its web every day. Once finished, it sits quietly, waiting for mosquitoes to bump into it. (Guess the animal)"

"spider"

Long ears, short tail. It only eats vegetables, not rice. (Guess an animal)

"rabbit"

"A face like a rice dumpling, feet like plum blossoms. Shouting in front, brandishing a knife behind. (Guess an animal)"

"dog"

"Little girl, enjoying the cool evening air. She carries a lantern, shining brightly. (Guess the animal)"

"firefly"

A round of applause erupted from the audience. "Bravo!"

Ji Xiao and the other two applauded enthusiastically, "Zixuan is amazing! Well done!"

"Weightlifting competition (guess the Chinese idiom)"

Being meticulous and calculating

One of the seven fairy maidens got married (guess the Chinese idiom)

"Completely at a loss"

"A miserly person (guess the Chinese idiom)"

Stingy

.........

The two answered each other very quickly; often, Han Zixuan would respond as soon as the boss finished speaking.

The boss became a little anxious and took out his most treasured riddle.

"Your Majesty, this time things are going to be quite difficult!"

Han Zixuan simply extended her hand calmly and said, "Please!"

"What's the point of punishing Yu Yu?" (Guess a line from the Analects)

Everyone was astonished upon hearing this, exclaiming, "Ah, this is just like the teacher testing our knowledge!"

"Haha, this boss has a trick up his sleeve!"

Li Chan looked smug, waiting to see Han Zixuan make a fool of herself!

Liu Jingyao remained calm on the surface, but secretly compared the results in her mind!

Han Zixuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, realizing she had just walked right into the line of fire!

I have no words to blame him.

"Don't fall for the Beauty Trap. (Guess a line from the Analects)"

"Be wary of lust."

"Puppet. (Guess a line from Mencius)"

"It is used because it resembles a human being."

Please don't worry too much. (Guess a line from Mencius)

"That's all I ask for."

"He loved reading. (Guess a line from the Analects)"

"Never tire of learning."

"A layman. (Guess a line from the Analects)"

"Not yet inside the room."

…………

After the last riddle was solved, the shopkeeper sighed and asked, "Which lantern has caught your eye, Lady? I'll take it down for you right now!"

Han Zixuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "Let's do it together later! Let's continue!"
