Chapter 80: Grab the Glazed Lamp



"Why?" Princess Changping wanted to take action, "Do you really think I dare not take action against you?!"

Seeing that Yuzhu was grabbing her skirt and was about to be dragged forward by her, Su Jinyue hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

She had just come out of the crowd, and everyone's eyes were on her. Princess Changping frowned when she saw her, "You..."

But before she could finish her words, when Yuzhu saw Su Jinyue, she had already let go of the hand that was holding Princess Changping's clothes, ran towards Su Jinyue, and threw herself into her arms!

Su Jinyue caught the little princess steadily, patted her back to comfort her, and then looked at Princess Changping after protecting her. "What happened?"

Princess Changping rolled her eyes at her and didn't want to tell her what happened.

When Chu Ling saw Su Jinyue, she looked her up and down and said, "Who are you? Our business is none of your business!"

"Chu Ling, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Ruan Liuzheng stood next to Su Jinyue and looked at her coldly, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Other people's words can be regarded as a joke, but if Ruan Liuzheng says he is going to take action, he will really do it.

Chu Ling was also a little afraid of her. When she saw Ruan Liuzheng's eyes flickering, she was still arrogant. "What's the point of having so many people here? The highest bidder wins!"

She turned to look at the stall owner on the platform, "I'll give you five thousand taels of silver!"

Five thousand taels of silver, just to grab a glass lamp. Even though all the people here were young ladies and masters from wealthy families, they were all a little shocked.

The stall owner looked a little embarrassed. "Our colored glass lamps are given to those who guess correctly. What's more, the colored glass lamp you mentioned is the first prize. We can only give the colored glass lamp to the person who guessed correctly."

Princess Changping said to the stall owner, "We gave this glass lamp to you. If you gave it to us by mistake, you should return it to us. There is no reason to give it away again!"

"That glass lamp is the first prize. You have given it all to me. Do you think you can go back on your word? A princess can't afford to play with it."

Seeing that the quarrel would only intensify if it continued, Su Jinyue said to the stall owner, "Then we want the glass lantern. According to the rules, we will participate in the lantern riddle guessing."

Princess Changping looked at Su Jinyue coldly, "This glass lamp is Yuzhu's treasure. You said you would agree? If you can't guess and lose the glass lamp, you will be guilty of a great sin!"

Su Jinyue looked down at Yuzhu and said, "Little Princess, let me guess the lantern riddle and help you get the lantern back, okay?"

Yuzhu didn't hesitate and nodded immediately, pulling Su Jinyue's skirt and asking her to guess the riddles.

Chu Ling sneered sarcastically, "I have never lost in a lantern riddle guessing contest, so this lantern must be mine!"

The stall owner said, "For the first prize, you have to guess all 30 puzzles correctly, and then guess the last puzzle I'll give you. Whoever guesses the question correctly will own the glass cup!"

After both parties prepared their pens and ink, Su Jinyue and Chu Ling started writing together.

In just a cup of tea, Su Jinyue and Chu Ling answered thirty riddles at the same time.

After the stall owner looked at the answers to the riddles, he showed them to everyone, "These two ladies answered all the riddles correctly!"

Chu Ling narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Jinyue. She didn't expect that she could answer all the questions!

After a while, the stall owner brought out a wooden box from the back. "The last puzzle I'm going to pose is, can you two guess what's in this box? You have three chances to ask me a question."

"How could you possibly guess that?"

"That's right. There are so many things on the stage. If you put any one of them in there, you may not be able to guess it."

“Isn’t this stall owner being difficult?”

For a moment, everyone was talking about it.

The stall owner looked at Su Jinyue and Chu Ling, "How about it, you two, who will guess first?"

"She came first!"

Chu Ling looked at Su Jinyue with a sneer. As long as she didn’t guess correctly, she would have six chances to ask questions!

Princess Changping also guessed what she was thinking, pointed at her and scolded: "Chu Ling! Don't go too far, don't think I don't know what you are thinking?!"

"So what?" Chu Ling said, "If she doesn't guess, then the first prize will be mine!"

Princess Changping turned around and glared at Su Jinyue, "Now that's it! Let me see if you can guess it!"

Su Jinyue curled her lips and looked at Chu Ling, "You really want me to guess first? That glass lamp won't be in your hands."

Feeling that Su Jinyue was deliberately provoking her, Chu Ling tutted, "Okay, if you have the ability, guess first."

Su Jinyue turned to look at the stall owner and asked, "Is there a lantern in the box?"

The stall owner shook his head, "No."

"Is there a glass lamp in the box?"

The stall owner shook his head again, "No."

After that, the stall owner said to Su Jinyue: "Miss, you only have one chance left."

Chu Ling sneered, "Think about it carefully. You only have one chance left. You will be embarrassed soon."

"No."

Su Jinyue's tone was neither hurried nor slow, as if everything was under control. She raised her eyes and looked at the stall owner, "There's nothing in that box. It's empty."

The originally noisy surroundings became quiet for a moment.

Then suddenly there was a burst of ridicule!

Chu Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Empty? You really dare to think so! I think your brain is also empty!"

Princess Changping couldn't save face, and raised her hand viciously to push Su Jinyue, "If the glass cup is taken away by her, I will definitely report you to the Concubine Xian when I go back!"
