Maid, Little Lucky Wife

The capital city is very lively during the first lunar month, especially on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when there are lanterns and riddle guessers everywhere.

The emperor encouraged these people to make lanterns, and there was even a reward for No. 1.

But when it was implemented below, things changed.

Some officials specially paid large sums of money to invite lantern makers to compete with each other and make the most beautiful lanterns, which would then appear in front of the emperor.

This results in very few folk lanterns and fewer rewards.

Although Yun Shang was pregnant, it was not good to keep her at home all the time. Mo Xuan and the others were there to protect her, so she followed Xiao Yu and Rui'er out for a walk.

The prince and his concubine also came over.

Both families brought their children with them. When they saw Princess Yun Shang, they immediately stepped forward and stopped Yun Shang from saluting.

"Sister Yunshang, we are all a family, you're welcome."

The Crown Princess spoke with a smile.

Yun Shang nodded. In terms of rank, the prince was still lower than Mo Xuan. Moreover, Yun Shang had a royal title, so they were not the only ones saluting.

But things can't be calculated that way. The prince is the prince of the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion is in the limelight, and Yun Shang can't let the prince concubine salute her.

Yun Shang said with a smile, "Sister, you and the prince have finally come to the end of their hardships, and they will definitely get better and better in the future!"

The Crown Princess was elated after hearing these words, and everyone is willing to listen to good things.

The Hou Mansion has experienced a catastrophe, and this time when he returns to the capital, he is favored.

Moreover, her relationship with her mother-in-law is getting better and better. Her mother-in-law never cares about the affairs of the prince's house.

The prince originally had two concubines. When he was exiled, one of them was unwilling to follow her and was let go. The other was weak-tempered, had no children, and had no ambition, so she was relieved.

Moreover, my husband is not the kind of pervert who likes women, and he will not have many concubines in the future.

Feeling relieved, the Crown Princess was more energetic and full of happiness.

"Yes, after all the hardships come happiness, I can borrow my sister's good words."

The Crown Princess wanted to ask Mo Xuan about the concubine several times, but seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Mo Xuan protected Yun Shang in real time, and it didn't look like he had changed his mind.

She and her husband looked at each other. He seemed to have had a good talk with Mo Xuan just now.

The prince looked at his wife and smiled slowly at her.

The Crown Princess was relieved, it seemed that there was another hidden reason in this matter.

The prince protected the person in his arms to avoid collisions with outsiders. He looked up and saw a very beautiful lantern that looked like a fox, with a lotus sitting low.

It's not particularly well-made, but it's vivid.

The prince's expression moved slightly, "Madam, do you like that lantern?"

The Crown Princess looked in that direction and saw the fox lantern at a glance.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but nodded, "I like it, it looks so beautiful!"

"Let's go, my husband will buy you one!"

With that said, he grabbed the lady's hand and walked towards the stall.

Mo Xuan naturally saw it, but the stalls were all in pairs, and they couldn't buy them separately.

"Madam, why don't we go over and take a look?"

Yun Shang, who was looking at her son, came back to her senses and looked in the direction of the two of them and immediately knew what it meant.

"it is good!"

Don't worry about your son, Lingjiu and the others are watching.

Yun Shang fell in love with one and was about to buy it when she suddenly heard a commotion.

Yun Shang looked over curiously and saw a group of people surrounding the city, all cheering.

"Husband, what are you doing in front?"

Mo Xuan is high, and his field of vision is naturally far.

"That's because someone is guessing lantern riddles!"

Looking at the lady's curious eyes, "Madam, do you want to go there? Your belly..."

There is nothing else to worry about, but Yun Shang is pregnant, and she is afraid of being hit even if she is protected by him.

The Crown Princess was also very curious, and the Crown Prince said directly, "Go to that restaurant, it's owned by my family, and I'll have dinner there too!"

The four people passed by and entered the restaurant. They were on the second floor, facing the crowd, and had a very comprehensive view.

Yun Shang saw her two sons in the crowd, with people protecting them, so she wasn't worried anymore.

The waiter served some snacks and tea, and the four of them watched and chatted.

There were more than a dozen scholars in robes gathered together, and a group of people who were gorgeously dressed, but obviously not people dressed in the capital.

The two groups happened to be facing each other.

At the lantern riddle stall, the lantern riddles prepared are relatively simple, just for fun and for good luck.

Unexpectedly, I met a group of scholars. These people were quite idle. They were sitting in front of the stall, giving each other questions to compete with each other.

At first, the boss was quite happy. A group of people gathered around and started buying some.

But there were more and more people there, and it even attracted a group of foreigners.

The questions became more and more difficult, and the group of foreigners also participated, making it more lively now.

"Two hairs on the head, wearing a colorful flower robe, dancing among the flowers, happy and carefree. This lantern riddle will kill an insect."

A group of scholars asked a question.

The foreigner opposite thought for a moment, opened the folding fan, and said with a smile, "I guess it's a butterfly!"

This man was tall and mighty, with a ponytail on his head, a handsome face, and a strong build. He was wearing a purple short shirt, trousers, and a fur vest.

With a long sword hanging on his waist, Yun Shang felt that this man had a military aura, like a tough guy.

The eyes of many young ladies and young wives were focused on him.

If she hadn't maintained a woman's reserve, she would have thrown away the handkerchief.

The prince and Mo Xuan frowned unconsciously when they saw his appearance, "Why is this guy?"

The prince muttered softly.

Mo Xuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of complexity, and he obviously didn't expect this person to be here.

Yun Shang and the Crown Princess looked at each other, "Husband, who is this?"

The prince's face was full of solemnity, "This person is a foreign envoy, and he is here during the Chinese New Year. His purpose is unknown!"

"This man is very powerful. He has been on the battlefield and has good martial arts skills. I originally thought he would be a reckless man, but I didn't expect him to be a scholar."

Mo Xuan commented from the side.

The Crown Prince glanced sideways at him, "It's rare to see you actually say that others are great. This Crown Prince has never received such a review, tsk tsk!"

Mo Xuan rolled his eyes at him and decided not to speak.

Yun Shang looked at the group of people curiously. They looked similar to people from the Central Plains, and there was no difference in skin and eyes like those of later generations.

At this time, the competition below has reached a fever pitch, but the people from the capital do not have an advantage. One person is against a group. Almost all the scholars have given questions. At this time, they are sweating and thinking hard.

But the person opposite was calm and composed, almost answering alone.

The prince and Mo Xuan frowned. Although the lantern riddles tested reaction speed, the required knowledge reserve was also quite high.

The two looked at each other. Would it be too embarrassing if they lost?

Do you want to take action? The two of them have the same doubt in their eyes, but their identities are not simple. One is a fifth-grade official, and the other is the prince of the Hou Mansion. If they win, it will always feel like a weak victory.
