Chapter 1387 The prince answered correctly!

Murong Qingwu and An Miaoyi, a pair of wealthy "best friends" who grew up together, can be said to have been fighting with each other for nearly half of their lives. They know each other inside and out and have a deep understanding of each other!
So sometimes Murong Qingwu was wondering, could it be possible that An Miaoyi was completely unaware of what she was aware of?

Murong Qingwu didn't know the answer to this question, but she thought it was no!
If she can realize it, An Miaoyi can probably realize it as well!

But the question is, what’s the harm in being aware?
The power of Ye Cui's trick lies in that it is an open conspiracy. Even if you realize that I am using you, you have to do things according to my ideas!
Whenever Murong Qingwu thought of this, she couldn't help but marvel at the old woman's superb ZZ skills. However, if she thought about it carefully, it seemed unexpected but reasonable that Ye Cui had such skills!
After all, this old woman has a cousin named Cui Shao and a son named Ye Mingsheng!

The reason why the Daqian Dynasty was established was that Ye Cui had a sharp vision. She sold some of her family's real estate and land to collect money and sent her son Ye Mingsheng to Zhaowu Camp. This led to Ye Mingsheng's later struggle for supremacy in the Central Plains and eventually his ambition to rule the world!

The reason why Murong Qingwu gave this precious ruby ​​necklace to Murong Xinyun today and asked Murong Xinyun to wear it here was also due to the prompting of many factors!
First of all, although this ruby ​​necklace is very valuable and beautiful, Murong Qingwu is not so fond of rubies. Compared with rubies, she prefers ice jadeite.

Murong Qingwu has many ice jade bracelets and pendants. She has spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on them. Whenever top-quality ice jade appears in Yijing, Murong Qingwu will spend a fortune to buy it for her own preference...

And the second point is that the existence of this ruby ​​necklace reminds her all the time that she is being used by Ye Cui. Murong Qingwu has always been regarded as a favored daughter of heaven since she was a child. She is also very proud in her bones, so when she thinks about being used as a pawn, she also minds it in her heart.

Even if Murong Qingwu could choose to lie low and endure temporarily due to practical reasons, the existence of this ruby ​​necklace would always be a pain in her heart!

It is no exaggeration to say that once upon a time, in the dead of night, Murong Qingwu, who was suffering from insomnia, was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she even thought about smashing the ruby ​​necklace. Fortunately, Ying Er persuaded her at the critical moment, so that the precious ruby ​​necklace did not "disappear!"

Thirdly, this ruby ​​is indeed suitable for Murong Xinyu. This ruby ​​necklace is too bright and suitable for that kind of gorgeous and bright woman. Such a woman with such a ruby ​​necklace can achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two!

This is also one of the reasons why An Miaoyi likes this necklace so much. She is a charming and even a little bit seductive woman, and this necklace can be said to be a perfect match for her.

Although Murong Xinyun is not as charming as An Miaoyi, she is also very bright and is also very suitable for this necklace!

Murong Qingwu knew that when her sister appeared at the banquet wearing such a ruby ​​necklace, she would definitely attract everyone's attention, and this was also what she, as an elder sister, was happy to see...

The situation in the palace is now very clear. Although His Majesty respects and loves me, he is not devoted to me!
Therefore, if her sister was favored, it would be a rare good thing for Murong Qingwu!

And Ye Mingsheng's look just now also proved that Murong Qingwu's idea was correct. Murong Qingwu had no doubt that her sister would grow from a girl into a woman tonight!
As everyone was thinking about their own things, the banquet finally came to an end with three rounds of wine and five dishes. At this time, Ye Mingsheng, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, became more interested. Looking at the children in the audience, an idea flashed in his mind and he smiled and said:
"Jingren, Jingheng, Jingxuan, Xingtong, Kexin, father will give you a few riddles, okay?"

"If you answer correctly, Father has a mysterious prize for you!"

When the children heard about the mysterious prize, they immediately became interested and asked:
"Father! What a riddle!"

"Father, what is the mysterious prize?"

“Is the mystery prize delicious?”

What Jingren and Kexin said before was fine, but when they heard Jingcheng say that it was delicious, everyone present, including Ye Mingsheng, couldn't help laughing. Shen Yutong also felt a little embarrassed, so she quietly pulled her son's clothes, signaling him to be more restrained.

However, at this moment, Jing Cheng was completely attracted by the mysterious prize mentioned by Ye Mingsheng. He did not care about his mother's instructions and was still looking at Ye Mingsheng expectantly...

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also smiled and said:

"My father hasn't decided on the secret prize yet, but if you guess the riddle correctly, you can tell me what you want, and I will consider it at that time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the little ones all became interested and started discussing what prizes they wanted, as if they had already guessed the riddle.

At the same time, An Miaoyi, as the birthday girl, couldn't help but look at her son. Jing Heng and Jing Yan did not attend today's birthday banquet because of their young age. Therefore, at this moment in this birthday banquet, only seven people appeared among Ye Mingsheng's five sons and four daughters. Among them, the princes were Crown Prince Jingren, Third Prince Jingcheng, and Fourth Prince Jingxuan!
Needless to say, Jingcheng, the little foodie, An Miaoyi has never taken a liking to him and his mother Shen Yutong!
However, Pei Zhixiu's fourth son Jingxuan has always been known for his intelligence and was praised as a young genius by many scholars in the Hanlin Academy!

An Miaoyi had never accepted the result and had always wanted her son Jingren to surpass Jingxuan in study, so she had put a lot of effort into it. However, Jingren's talent was really average. Even though An Miaoyi watched him every day, his academic performance could never be compared with Jingxuan's, who was making rapid progress.

Seeing the gap getting bigger and bigger, although An Miaoyi was still unwilling to accept it, she had to admit that it would be difficult for Jing Ren to catch up with Jing Xuan in terms of academics!
Although An Miaoyi knew very well that Jingren was probably far inferior to Jingxuan in terms of learning talent, at her birthday party, as a mother, An Miaoyi still hoped that her son Jingren could show his talent and suppress his brother Jingxuan, rather than letting Jingxuan steal the show...
At this time, under the gaze of everyone, Ye Mingsheng also said:
"One word has five mouths, make friends with the door, stick it in the right direction and everyone loves it, stick it upside down and every family has it, guess one word!"

After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, while Jingren, Jingheng, Kexin and Xingtong were still thinking, Jingxuan was about to stand up to answer the question. However, before he stood up, his mother Pei Zhixiu pushed him down.

Seeing this, Jingxuan was puzzled, but he was obedient and didn't say anything. However, this scene was also seen by Ye Mingsheng, An Miaoyi, Murong Qingwu and others, but they didn't say anything. After waiting for about half a cup of tea, the other four still didn't guess it. An Miaoyi also saw it and was anxious in her heart. She smiled and reminded them:
"Think about what you want to put on the doors inside and outside the palace during the New Year!"

As soon as these words came out, Jingren's expression changed, and he blurted out:
"I know it's the word 'Fu'!"

Ye Mingsheng then nodded slightly and said:

"Jingren, you guessed it right!"

After these words were spoken, Bai Yuanyuan, who had remained silent, also complimented at the right time:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly very intelligent and brilliant!" As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Rouer and others echoed them one after another, praising His Highness the Crown Prince for his talent and intelligence. Amidst these people's praises, Jingren also showed an excited expression.

However, most people in the palace remained silent. Some even looked at Bai Yuanyuan and Chen Rouer with contempt.
Taking into consideration that the children are very young, Ye Mingsheng's riddle is very simple. However, Jingren still needs his mother's reminder to guess it. To call him gifted and quick-witted is really too exaggerated and flattering.

At this time, Ying Er pretended to pour wine for Murong Qingwu, and said in a low voice with some disdain:

"She is a concubine, but she has lost all her dignity!"

Murong Qingwu smiled when she heard this. She was not surprised by Bai Yuanyuan's behavior. This noble concubine Bai had always been close to An Miaoyi, and if An Miaoyi hadn't pleaded for her at today's birthday party, she and Xing Tong would probably still be confined at home. Therefore, she naturally had to please An Miaoyi.

At this time, Ye Mingsheng also asked Jingren:
"What prize do you want, Jingren?"

"Father, I want you to take me and my brothers and sisters out to play like you did last time!"

After these words were spoken, Bai Yuanyuan, who had just been smiling and praising Jingren, suddenly became expressionless, and Ye Mingsheng also looked a little hesitant.

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng seemed to be in a difficult situation, An Miaoyi beside him was also ready to help Ye Mingsheng. However, before she could speak, Ye Mingsheng felt the expectant gazes of the children headed by Jingren, and finally nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay! I'll take you out to play when Father has some free time!"

After getting their father's promise, the little ones immediately celebrated, and seeing this, Ye Mingsheng's expression became somewhat doting.

When the little guys calmed down, Ye Mingsheng asked another riddle:
“Huainan Dan, white, tender and soft, melts in the mouth and has a great taste. Guess a food. Have you all eaten this food before?”

Just like before, Jingxuan reacted as soon as Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, but this time he did not stand up directly like before. Instead, he turned his little face and looked at his mother, as if asking his mother, "Can I answer?"

However, under her son's gaze, Pei Zhixiu looked calm, as if she didn't feel her son's gaze at all. Seeing this, Jingxuan immediately understood his mother's thoughts and his expression became a little depressed.

After a while, Jing Cheng lowered his head in deep thought, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said loudly:
"Father! I know it's tofu!"

"You got it right! What prize do you want?"

"Father! I want a restaurant!"

Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Ye Mingsheng knew that Jingcheng liked to eat tofu, such as tofu pudding, dried tofu, and bean skin. So this question was specially set for Jingcheng. Ye Mingsheng originally thought that Jingcheng, a little foodie, would want some delicious food, but he never thought that he would give such an answer.

"Father Jingcheng asked you why you wanted a restaurant?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Jing Cheng glanced at his mother Shen Yutong beside him, and then said helplessly:
"My mother is afraid that I will get fat! She never lets me eat delicious food. If I had a restaurant, I could eat whatever I want and I wouldn't have to listen to my mother anymore!"

Many people laughed out loud when this was said, and Shen Yutong was angry and embarrassed, but she could do nothing about Jing Cheng. She could only think about teaching this useless guy a lesson when she got home. At this time, Ye Mingsheng also said with a smile:

"Okay! Since you want a restaurant, Father will reward you with one!"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, Jing Cheng immediately smiled, but the next second Ye Mingsheng continued:

“However, this restaurant will be temporarily managed by your mother. You can take over the restaurant when you come of age…”

As soon as Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, the smile on Jing Cheng's face froze, and then he lowered his head in frustration. Seeing this, Shen Yutong on the side immediately lectured Jing Cheng:
"Why don't you thank your father for the reward?"

Under his mother's urging, Jing Cheng said reluctantly:
"Thank you, Father, for the reward!"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and shook his head, then looked at Jingxuan on the side. He knew the two riddles just now. If Pei Zhixiu hadn't stopped him, there would probably be no Jingren and Jingcheng. Now that Jingren and Jingcheng have answered one each, it's Jingxuan's turn!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng thought for a moment and said:
"This last one is a pair, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and the family is happy!"

As soon as Ye Mingsheng said this, everyone realized that Ye Mingsheng's last question had increased the difficulty. An Miaoyi also glanced at Jingren, and seemed to be looking forward to her son being able to match this pair. At this time, Jingren, Jingcheng, Jingxuan and others were all thinking hard.

Murong Qingwu, who was standing by, came up with the answer after a brief thought, but she didn't say anything. She just glanced at Jingxuan beside her.

At this moment, Jingxuan stood up and said:
"The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing, bringing happiness to the hallway. I am happy with the full moon, the flowers and the family affairs!"

Jingren, who was originally thinking hard, was stunned when he heard Jingxuan's answer, and then said happily:
"That's right!"

“In ancient times, there was Cao Zijian who was extremely talented. Today, my brother is no less talented than him. In my opinion, my fourth brother is the Cao Zijian of our Daqian…”
