117 Chapter 116 of “Quick Wear: I Just Want to Clear H”

119: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (Twenty-three)

The defense of men and women in the Kingdom of Night is not that serious. At a banquet like this, men and women can sit at the same table without being separated. However, men and women occupy one side each, leaving a passage in the middle so that they can see each other when they look up.

When Su Yan sat down, she heard the ladies beside her discussing her and Gu Chengling in low voices. She probably found a good consort who did everything according to her. Su Yan felt a little aggrieved after hearing this. They probably thought that Gu Chengling wore red today because she asked for it. What an injustice!

Because of the original owner’s previous unruly behavior, no one dared to approach her. The girls all gathered together in twos and threes to whisper, and she was the only one who sat upright, looking a bit out of place.Fortunately, this situation did not last long. It was not until everyone was seated that Concubine Shu arrived belatedly. Su Yan secretly looked at her. Although she was already in her thirties, she looked like a young woman in her twenties. With her demure appearance like Xiaojiabiyu, she did not look like she had a deep heart. However, if she really didn’t have any means, she would not be able to stand out from the four concubines and serve as the assistant of the Sixth Palace when the middle palace had no heirs.

“Chang Le, I haven’t seen you for a while, she looks even more beautiful.” Concubine Shu took Su Yan’s hand affectionately and said with a smile on her face.

“The same goes for Concubine Shu.” Su Yan also smiled and was satisfied when she saw Concubine Shu’s face looked unnatural for a moment.If there is a shortcoming of Concubine Shu, it is probably her appearance. She is obviously only of average appearance, but she has climbed to the position of concubine, and she also holds the right to manage the harem. There are many concubines in the Sixth Palace who are more beautiful than her. Every time she sees them, she wants to scratch their faces, but Su Yan still wants to talk about her face.

Although Concubine Shu had a smile on her face, she calmly let go of her hand. Su Yan simply wanted it. She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. She found that it was the fragrance of lotus that she liked. She couldn’t help but said: “This tea is so fragrant. Why did Concubine Shu suddenly think of holding a tea party? I have never heard of it in the past years.”

Concubine Shu said: “I got a new tea recipe and thought it was good, so I invited everyone to taste it together and take the opportunity to interact with young people.” She felt sick in her heart. She was incapable of managing the members of the harem, but the emperor asked her to hold a tea party in order to clear up the rumors that the princess and the consort were at odds. Now she actually asked herself why she was holding a tea party!

“Your Majesty is interested,” Su Yan said.As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Shu raised her voice and said: “It’s boring for everyone to sit like this. I have prepared a small game for everyone to have fun.” After speaking, she motioned to the maid next to her to explain the rules of the game in detail. The maid stepped forward and said:”Next, the gentlemen and ladies will be divided into male and female parties. Both parties can ask each other questions. If the other party answers correctly, one point will be scored. If the answer is incorrect, no points will be counted. The two parties will exchange questions. Each party can ask ten questions. In the end, whichever party has more points will win. The winning party will receive a small gift prepared by the empress.”

As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, everyone became a little excited. Everyone has reached the age of spring, and they all want to show their talents in front of each other, but they have no chance. Now Concubine Shu just gave them this opportunity.Even though Su Yan had guessed Concubine Shu’s intention, she was still a little confused. It would have been nice to invite unmarried men and women to such a banquet. Why would she, a married woman, come to join in the fun?

Concubine Shu looked at everyone with a smile and said, “Then let the ladies come up with the questions first, how about that?”

None of the gentlemen would refuse to agree. Even if Concubine Shu didn’t tell her, they would still ask for it.

On Su Yan’s side, the ladies began to get excited. It would be best if the mystery they presented could stump the person opposite them. Even if they were guessed, they would be able to attract others’ attention.Therefore, although they recommended candidates to each other for the questions, they secretly waited for others to reject them.Su Yan naturally had no desire to participate. She didn’t have the ability to ask or answer questions, so she could just watch quietly.

Finally, after everyone’s recommendation, a girl in goose-yellow clothes was the first person to present the question. She was full of bookish atmosphere, gentle and quiet, which was exactly the opposite extreme of the original owner’s publicity.She picked up the pen on the table, obviously confident, and she finished it in just a few strokes. Everyone was amazed when they saw her title, “Three autumn leaves have fallen, and February flowers can bloom. Thousands of waves across the river, and thousands of poles leaning into the bamboo.” Not to mention the mystery, just a hairpin in regular script made many people feel inferior.She blessed her body and said, “Zhang Ya has shown her ugliness.”

Zhang Ya, why does this sound familiar?Su Yan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, wasn’t this Lu Ze’s fiancée? She had even threatened Lu Ze with her.As a result, he became more interested in Zhang Ya.

Zhang Ya’s riddle is very neat, but not difficult to guess. It is also a game in the first place, so there is no need to be too embarrassed.After the exclamation, Lu Ze was pushed up on the man’s side. She was originally his fiancée, and it would not be good for others to get up and answer.

When she saw Lu Ze standing up, Zhang Ya looked a little shy, and her originally calm face showed a bit of the coquettishness of a little daughter. Su Yan also stared at it with interest.

Lu Zhe wrote a few strokes on the paper and showed it to everyone: “The answer to the mystery is wind, right?” He was obviously talking to Zhang Ya.

The two talented men and women, facing each other from a distance, were a perfect match. Su Yan looked at it and clicked her tongue in her heart. This Lu Ze was a straight man. He didn’t show any pretense to her. He didn’t change at all even in front of his fiancée. She was looking at Lu Ze curiously when she felt a gaze falling on her. When she looked over, she met Gu Chengling’s deep eyes. She immediately averted her gaze and stopped paying attention to them.

Zhang Ya nodded and said, “Master Lu, you got the answer right.” She cast her gaze on Lu Ze’s chest, feeling embarrassed to look at his face.

“You two are really talented and beautiful, you are a perfect match. I am very happy to see you.” Concubine Shu said with a smile.

The young masters had already begun to make fun of Lu Ze, and the scene was harmonious.

Zhang Yazhuyu was in front, but the people behind were not very impressive. In the sixth game, Su Yan’s side had already scored four points, and the opponent had six points. Su Yan was a little uninterested, and saw the red figure on the opposite side standing up. Gu Chengling also wanted to join in the fun?

She was about to take a good look when she saw Gu Chengling’s eyes locked on hers, “I want to ask the princess to answer this question.” Su Yan’s eyes widened, and this operation is still possible?Why didn’t she know this before?

Concubine Shu chuckled and said, “You couple have a really good relationship. Since the consort has requested it, Chang Le should prepare to answer the question.”

Su Yan thought he was going to embarrass her. She looked calm but felt a little anxious in her heart. She watched him write and completed the riddle in just a few strokes.

“Baiyu jumps into the boat and rushes into the boat.” What the hell?Su Yan had no clue in her mind. Seeing the smile in Gu Chengling’s eyes, she quickly looked away and asked the people around her: “How to answer?” Others quickly gave her a hint, and she replied: “It’s the word ‘heart’.”

Gu Chengling did not speak, lowered his head and started writing on the paper. After writing, he picked up the paper and said to Su Yan: “I would also like to ask the princess to answer this question.”

Su Yan glared at him before looking at the riddle. What were the four words “Boundless Love”?Su Yan scolded Gu Chengling bloody in her heart, and then learned the answer from other people’s mouths, and said, “It’s the word ‘joy’ for pleasure.”

Gu Chengling had a half-smile on his face, lowered his head and started writing again. Su Yan really wanted to rush over and throw away his pen, but the emperor issued an imperial edict, so she had to hold back and see what other tricks he wanted to play.

Gu Chengling’s third question was “Occasionally leaving one person alone.” Su Yan summed up the experience from the first two questions and blurted out: “You.” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started talking, “Wow, Prince Consort, this is too…”

Su Yan looked into Gu Chengling’s deep eyes and suddenly realized, wouldn’t the three answers together mean “I am happy with you”?Being tricked?!
