After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The stall owner's eyes lit up and he announced quickly: "This young man guessed it right! He knows how to read!"

There were boos in the audience.

Someone else said unconvinced: "I guessed it too, it's just a step too late!"

But the stall owner ignored him and just invited the person who guessed correctly to come to the stage.

The colorful lantern is the largest and most gorgeous lantern on the stall.

"I won't accept this prize. Someone put a piece of paper in my hand with the answer to the riddle. I was curious, so I just gave it a try."

Instead, the man hid in the crowd and refused to show up.

Qiao Wanshu didn't care who guessed the lantern riddle and got the prize.

As long as Fang Yan'er didn't steal the limelight, she would be happy to clap her hands.

Although this lantern riddle stall is not big, the background behind it is not small.

It was brought about by a well-known literary society in the capital just for fun.

Fang Yan'er guessed the lantern riddles correctly, and after taking the stage, she solved several tricky puzzles one after another. From then on, she became famous in the capital, and she took the first step to gain a foothold in the capital as a talented woman!

Now that someone has taken the lead and ruined her plan, it will not be easy to find a suitable opportunity.

Qiao Wanshu stared at Fang Yan'er closely, and she felt so happy when she saw that she was so angry that she was gritting her teeth secretly and her delicate facial features were a little distorted.

Holding Qiao Jinghan's neck, she laughed so hard that her fat little paws turned red.

Fang Yan'er was unwilling to give in and said loudly: "Since you have guessed the answer to the riddle, you should come on stage and let everyone see it."

"Otherwise, if you grab the prize and then throw it away like worn shoes, wouldn't it ruin the interest of the host and the participants? If you just got lucky, just say so. Otherwise, how can you convince the public?"

She spoke aggressively, asking the person to show up and guess a few more times to convince the crowd.

But the man insisted that he was just joining in the fun and didn't want to guess anymore, and the two became deadlocked.

The stall owner wanted to smooth things over, but Fang Yan'er argued with him, implying that there was something hidden behind it, that the two were colluding and didn't want to give away the winnings.

Now even the stall owner was annoyed, and the people watching below pointed at Fang Yan'er and whispered.

"You are such a beautiful girl, why do you speak so meanly?"

"That's right, even if she guessed it first, who made her slow down and not say it out? Doesn't it mean that they are colluding and making a show?"

"I think she wants to be in the limelight, so she is annoyed! A good girl is not dignified and steady at all. Who taught her this? She is not afraid of being laughed at."

Qiao Wanshu's smile gradually faded as the chattering sounds reached her ears.

No matter what, Fang Yan'er still carries the name of a distant relative of the Qiao family.

It's a secret feeling that she is deficient now, but if word spreads that she is related to the Qiao family, won't it damage the Qiao family's reputation?

Her cute little Yuxue face fell down again, frowning and glaring at Fang Yan'er displeasedly, but she was completely unaware that someone was staring at her in the crowd.

About seven or eight people away, there stood a child of six or seven years old.

Although he is not very old, he has a calm demeanor that belies his age.

Behind him, several tall men in ordinary clothes stood on his side, vaguely guarding him in the center.

"Little Master, you obviously guessed the answer to the riddle, why did you give it up so easily?"

"Didn't you say that you want to take the lantern back and show it to the imperial concubine?"

The man behind him lowered his voice, but received no response from the child.

"How could it be... She should be dead already, how could she still be... Sure enough, it's really different."

The little boy murmured, his eyes never leaving Qiao Wanshu's side.

The gaze was so undisguised that it was difficult for the Qiao brothers and sisters to ignore it.

The two of them turned around to look at it at the same time, feeling both shocked!

Qiao Jinghan quickly squeezed over with Qiao Wanshu in her arms and bowed to the little boy.

"I have met His Highness the Ninth Prince. Your Majesty is giving you a banquet today. You are not in the palace. Why..."

He didn't finish what he said next.

It's obvious that he sneaked out and just said hello, why are you still looking for the root cause?

The Ninth Prince said calmly: "The palace banquet is boring. I sit there and feel bored, so I come out to relax."

He changed the topic and brought it to Qiao Wanshu.

"I heard that the Qiao family is happy to have a daughter, is this the young lady? Sure enough, Yuxue is cute, just like the rumors, she is a beauty."

Qiao Wanshu also recognized the little boy's identity early on.

It's just that she can't speak now, which just saves her the trouble of saying hello.

But the way the Ninth Prince looked at her always made her feel a little nervous.

The look in her eyes that seemed to see through everything made her feel like she had nothing to hide from.

The Ninth Prince was a very marginal character in the original book, and he only appeared in a few scenes.

All I know is that he is not favored, and he doesn't even say a few words in the background.

Therefore, Qiao Wanshu could not see through his future fate.

This feeling of not being in control made her feel very uncomfortable. She just made a perfunctory babbling sound, then turned around and retreated into Qiao Jinghan's arms.

The Ninth Prince took a step forward, as if he wanted to say something else.

A guard suddenly came forward and whispered something in his ear.

His expression changed slightly, and he said to the Qiao brothers and sisters: "I, the prince, have something to do, so I'll take a step forward. If I have some free time another day, I can come back to the house to make some noise."

After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Jinghan's response, he turned around and hurried away.

[Oh, you want to come to my house? Why don't I remember this place? 】

Qiao Wanshu was trying to recall the plot to see if she had missed any details.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a pretty and pretty woman who was being stopped by a few ruffian-like men. She was teasing her shamelessly and even tried to push her.

[I’ll go, second sister-in-law! 】

Qiao Wanshu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Staring at the little beauty in distress.

That was Qiao Jinyue's true love, the fateful mandarin duck in the original plot.

Wu Qingyun, the legitimate daughter of Wu Shangshu!

The beauty is in trouble and the hero who should come to save her is not here, so let the third brother make up the numbers first!

She babbling again, and her little paws kept making gestures.

However, Qiao Jinghan couldn't hear her thoughts, so he just thought she was excited by watching the excitement, and took out the rattle he just bought to amuse her.

【I’m teasing your sister! 】

Qiao Wanshu asked the sky speechlessly, not even bothering to roll her eyes.

[If you don’t save the second sister-in-law, she will be frivolous by the gangsters. Just wait to be beaten to death by the second brother! 】

She knew very well that Qiao Jingyue had the face of a weak scholar, but he could fight Qiao Jinghan for three hundred rounds without losing.

It is appropriate to deal with Qiao Jinghan!

Fortunately, the commotion in the crowd was getting louder and louder, and Qiao Wanshu spared no effort to push in that direction.

Finally, he saw the scene of teasing a good woman.

"Stop it! The emperor dares to molest a good man in the street, you're tired of it, aren't you?"

Qiao Jinghan roared so loudly that the ears of everyone around him were ringing.

Then he stood up and stood in front of Wu Qingyun with Qiao Wanshu in his arms.
