"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but the person who came up with this riddle is the Emperor's personal scholar, Lord Shangguan. Therefore, after three years, no one has been able to solve this riddle.”
"Now it seems that no one will be able to solve this riddle this year. What a disappointment. I specially came to this lantern riddle street to see the appearance of a new lantern leader.”
"If anyone can seize this lamp chief, I'm afraid that their reputation will rise the next day.”
"That's right. Whoever breaks this lantern will win more than one lantern. No matter who it is, taking down this lantern will attract attention.”
“......”
The tourists were discussing animatedly.
When he heard the words " Li Er's personal scholar " and thought of this person's surname, Li Chen quickly thought of a person:
Shangguan Yi.
In his early years, this person had shaved his hair and become a monk. Later, he was promoted to the first rank in the Jinshi examination and became Li Er's trusted person. He began to draft the imperial edict for Li Er and created the Shangguan style of poetry.
Perhaps Shangguan Yi was not a famous person, but his granddaughter was definitely very famous in the future-Shangguan Wan 'er!
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also a famous talented woman in the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with the various descriptions in unofficial history television dramas, she could be called a legendary woman.
On the other side, Li Er's face twitched when he heard that the person who came up with the lantern riddle was actually the Shangguan Aiqing he knew.
If he had asked Shangguan Yi earlier, his Princess Lan Ling wouldn't have been stuck here for so long!
Most importantly, he had no choice but to give up such a good opportunity to show off to Li Chen. Although it wasn't painful, it was still a pity.
After all, he was also a pretentious person.
"Father, please help Sister Shu 'er.”Yaya said hurriedly. She didn't know if it was because she couldn't bear to part with her three lamps.
"Then I'll give it a try." Li Chen smiled and agreed. He then called out to the shop assistant,"Please bring me the riddle of the garden lamp.”
"Sir, please take a look. This is the lamp chief that no one has been able to break in the past three years.”When the shop assistant heard this, he thought of Li Chen's previous achievements and did not dare to be negligent. He quickly took out the riddle and handed it to Li Chen.
"Someone wants to challenge the lamp chief again!"
"You're so young, may I know which scholar you are?”
"I'm afraid he's just trying his luck.”
Seeing this, many people quickly surrounded Li Chen. They all looked at him with anticipation and disdain. It was quite lively for a moment.
Li Chen was quite calm. He took a closer look at the riddle. The watermelon and the tree did not seem to have anything to do with each other, but they seemed to be one.
Then, he thought of the riddle,"I'm alone in the world, but I miss you at night."”
The answer was obvious.
"How is it? Can you think of anything?" Li Er smiled and asked,""There are many people watching this. Teacher, don't lose face.”
"Daddy will definitely think of something." Yaya said confidently to Li Chen.
"Not difficult." Li Chen smiled confidently at this moment, then quickly wrote down four big words on the note:
"A melon field under a plum tree."
"Is it true or false? We couldn't think of an answer after three years, and he solved it now?”Countless people came over. Then, under everyone's surprised and expectant gazes, Li Chen smiled and returned the riddle to the waiter.
The entire process only took a dozen breaths.
Not long after, the waiter who had checked the answer said in a loud voice with surprise,
"Congratulations, sir, for cracking the lantern that no one has been able to crack for the past three years!”
"Sir, this is your lantern.”Another shop assistant took off the lantern and handed it to Li Chen respectfully and admiringly.
"Thanks." Li Chen smiled and took the garden lamp. Then, he handed the garden lamp to Princess Lan Ling.
Putting aside the fact that he had seen many ancient and modern lantern riddles in the modern world, he was now proficient in literature. His understanding of these word games naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people. It was normal for him to be able to win this lantern leader.
In the end, he had gathered thousands of years of wisdom.
"Lamp Chief was actually taken down!”
"Who is this young man? He had never heard of it before, but he was actually so talented! He solved the riddle easily."
"Earlier, I saw that young man solve three riddles in a row. I'm afraid he's an expert.”
"Truly amazing."
This scene immediately caused a series of exclamations. More and more tourists gathered to watch, and they looked at Li Chen with admiration and curiosity.
"Thank you, sir." Princess Lan Ling said happily after taking the lantern. It was obvious that she really liked this garden lantern. At the same time, she admired Li Chen. This gentleman seemed to be omnipotent and could always do anything.
"Sir, you really didn't disappoint.”Li Er, who was standing at the side, also laughed. He seemed to be a little jealous. His daughter didn't even look at him like that.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me…Alright, Yaya, we should go to other places to take a look.”He had already put on an act. Seeing that there were more and more people, Li Chen carried Yaya on his back and wanted to leave.
However, at this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
He slowly raised his head, and his eyes seemed to light up…
Considering the age of the princesses, the characters in the book might not appear strictly according to the years in history. After all, if they were all based on age, some of the princesses might have already married, which would not be beautiful. Anyway, don't worry about the time. Let's follow the plot ~~ Those who like Yaya raise their hands, those who like Rizi raise their hands, and those who like Shu 'er raise their hands ~~)
