Chapter 82, My Only Lover
Chapter 82, The Only Lover
The lantern with the Jade Rabbit gazing at the moon is so exquisite and lovely that one can't take their eyes away.
Just one glance and Shen Qingtang was attracted.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this lantern?"
"Miss, do you also like this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon?" The owner of the lantern shop said with a smile, "This Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon is not only made by Master Wang, but it is also our shop's signature lantern tonight. Although it is not for sale, if you can answer my ten riddles correctly, I can give you this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon for free."
After saying that, the lantern owner chuckled again.
"Girl, do you want to try it?" Another fat sheep came.
The lantern owner was very excited. Tonight he made a lot of money by using the Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Shen Qingtang, the 'fat sheep', would run away, the lantern owner even took his signature lantern off the shelf so that she would be more deeply trapped by the Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern.
After all, he had also bought this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon Lantern at a huge price.
After he took the Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon Lantern off the shelf, Shen Qingtang looked at it up close and liked it even more.
This Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern has smooth and natural lines, and every detail is handled just right. Whether it is the adorable Jade Rabbit or the colorful halo of the moon, they all demonstrate Master Wang's superb skills.
She really likes this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern.
"How do I participate?"
"For just one or two taels of silver, you can have a chance to participate in the quiz. As long as you answer all ten riddles correctly, this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern will be yours, young lady." The lantern owner said as he raised a finger happily.
A tael of silver?
It's really not expensive for her.
Under the expectant gaze of the lantern owner, Shen Qingtang was about to pay, but suddenly he remembered that he was in a hurry to go out tonight and he didn't have a single penny on him.
Although she had no money, her lover had plenty of money.
"Brother Yu~"
"Why don't you go find your brother Mingyue?"
What happened to him, him, him?!
Seeing her beloved brother's pettiness, Shen Qingtang acted even more coquettishly and shook Emperor Yu Ji's hand.
"How can Brother Mingyue compare with you? After all -" Shen Qingtang paused, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered softly in Emperor Yuji's ear: "You are Tang'er's only love brother~~"
The word "dear brother" made Emperor Yu Ji's eyes darken again and again.
He seems to have made a new discovery...
His concubine Shu has two faces. She flirts with him so recklessly in public. Does she really think that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her in front of so many people?
Under Shen Qingtang's flickering gaze, Emperor Yu Ji's expression hidden beneath the mask became meaningful.
"Ten taels of silver, enough for you to answer ten times."
Jiang Quan took out a purse from his sleeve. He paused when hearing Emperor Yu Ji's voice. He then took out ten taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the lantern owner who was very happy, under Shen Qingtang's dissatisfied gaze.
Ten chances, who are you looking down on? !
She will definitely impress her boyfriend in a new way! !
Under Shen Qingtang's reproachful gaze, Emperor Yu Ji pinched her puffy cheeks with some amusement.
"It seems that you are very unconvinced. If that's the case, then Xiao Tang'er, don't blame your 'dear brother' for standing idly by."
Shen Qingtang's breathing stagnated, and his ears, cheeks, and neck instantly turned red and warm.
How dare he, how dare he?!
Can you say "dear brother" openly?
Not only was Shen Qingtang embarrassed to the point of feeling ashamed, but the audience around them were also looking at them with shining eyes.
Tsk tsk~ My dear brother~ Are the young people nowadays so good at having fun?
The lantern shop owner looked at Shen Qingtang, whose face was covered with a veil, and then looked at Emperor Yu Ji, who was wearing a mask. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, from their clothes and extraordinary temperament, he could tell that they were a perfect match.
This is a fat sheep, he is going to make a lot of money from the most difficult puzzle he has obtained!
"Miss, if you don't have any other questions, I'm ready to ask you a question." The lantern owner chuckled, "Of course, if you can't answer, you can't ask outsiders for help, but you can ask this gentleman for help. After all—"
The lantern shop owner glanced at Shen Qingtang and Yu Jidi with a sly look, and he couldn't hide the mocking smile on his face.
"After all, he is your brother in love~"
As soon as the lantern shop owner finished speaking, everyone around him burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, what a loving brother~"
"Young lady, you don't have to call me dear brother, as long as you call me good brother, I can help you answer the questions."
"Get out of here! You've only answered six questions, but I've answered eight. If you want to call me, call me Young Master!"
"My dear, I can..."
……
Under the teasing sounds, Emperor Yu Ji's face hidden under the mask had become visibly darker. On the other hand, although Shen Qingtang's face was flushed with embarrassment due to the teasing, her behavior was very hot and bold.
Without waiting for Jiang Quan to become Emperor Yu Ji's mouthpiece, she helped Emperor Yu Ji assert his sovereignty with her bright eyes.
"Goodbye, everyone. I'm already in love. He's not only my boyfriend, but also my husband who will accompany me for the rest of my life. No matter how knowledgeable you are, you are nothing compared to my husband."
After saying that, Shen Qingtang showed off her hands intertwined with Emperor Yu Ji in front of everyone.
"My husband, am I right?"
Shen Qingtang is better than Jiang Quan.
Under Shen Qingtang's smiling eyes, the frost and snow under Emperor Yu Ji's mask melted a little.
Emperor Yu Ji gently scratched the tip of Shen Qingtang's nose through the veil, "Since Xiao Tang'er is so protective of her husband, I will help you with the puzzles you can't answer later."
"Tonight, no one can beat the Jade Rabbit looking at the moon except you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who had just been shown off by Shen Qingtang began to grumble in dissatisfaction.
"What a big tone! Why don't the store owner come up with some questions to dampen his arrogance?"
"I want to see how many questions you can answer."
"Hurry up and ask the questions. This young master can't wait to show his love to you!"
……
Amid the grumbling of the crowd, the lantern owner pondered for a while and began to ask questions carefully.
"Listen carefully to the first question, girl. A tall building is built with a single piece of wood, but there are no tiles or bricks. People walk under water, and water flows over them (guess an object). Girl, can you guess it?"
The puzzle posed by the lantern boss had obviously never been posed before. While others were racking their brains to think of the answer, Shen Qingtang looked up at the sky and smiled confidently at Emperor Yu Ji.
"umbrella!"
look!
She is not that stupid!
When Shen Qingtang answered the riddle, a group of people walking by the street suddenly pointed at the lantern shop and shouted.
"Wow, Miss, please look at that lantern with the Jade Rabbit gazing at the moon. It looks to me like Master Wang's masterpiece!"
