Chapter 463: Fengzhu Lantern King

Yu Mingzhu seemed not to notice the indifference in Xingxing's words, and introduced them with a smile: "This is my eldest brother and second brother."

After a pause, Yu Mingzhu added, "This is my eldest sister-in-law."

Xingxing looked over and saw that it was indeed the young woman who had no one to protect her and was dressed beautifully.

In the light of the lamp, the young woman's face turned slightly pale and she forced a smile.

However, this was someone else's business. Xingxing withdrew her gaze, nodded politely to Yu Mingzhu's elder and second brothers, and said "Nice to meet you".

The two parties had no other communication.

Yu Chongjie didn't think much of it at first, but when he saw the little sister's face showing a bit of disappointment and she was trying to put on a cheerful face while talking to them, he immediately thought that the little girl was a bit rude.

My younger sister took the initiative to greet her, but she doesn't know what else to say?

The second young master Yu Chongen obviously thought so too.

The two brothers looked at each other and felt that the most urgent task was to make their little sister happy.

"Zhuzhu, which of these lanterns do you like?" Yu Chongen asked, "Big Brother and Second Brother won it for you."

Yu Mingzhu said softly, "My brothers win a lot of lanterns for me every year. I have enough lanterns. Besides, I think some of the lanterns we hung this year are not as beautiful as in previous years."

Yu Mingzhu looked at Xingxing who was happily looking at the lanterns, and smiled, saying meaningfully: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. I thought Miss Yu just came to the capital from the countryside this year, so she must like these lanterns more. If the brothers win more lanterns for me, wouldn't Miss Yu go home disappointed? Forget it."

Yu Chongjie praised: "Zhuzhu has been so kind since she was young."

Yu Chongen snorted: "Zhuzhu is so considerate, I'm afraid some people don't know what's good for them."

Xing Xing was clapping her hands while watching the performance in front of the banquet hall. She thought the people in the circus were amazing. They could even support several plates with just those thin sticks.

She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't hear a single word Yu Mingzhu said.

But Yu Yongbai and Yu Yongliu heard it.

The two brothers looked at Yu Mingzhu and the others, and their eyes met with those of Yu Chongjie and Yu Chongen in the air, and silent lightning crackled.

"The King of Lights! The King of Lights is hanging out!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and everyone in front of the guest building looked up at a brilliant lantern that was hung on the top floor of the guest building.

The lantern known as the king of lanterns was a compound lantern with a phoenix and pearls. The layer below it was a blue auspicious cloud revolving lantern. As the revolving lantern rotated, the auspicious clouds seemed real, with mist and clouds, which was beautiful beyond words.

On the next level up is a magnificent phoenix with a gem in its mouth, looking both wealthy and dignified.

The King of Lanterns hangs on the top floor of the banquet hall. Its brilliance is dazzling and extremely eye-catching.

Yu Yongbai pointed at the lantern on the top and asked Xingxing, "Xingxing, do you like it?"

He looked like he was eager to get it for Xingxing.

Xing Xing naturally liked it, nodded, and asked Yu Yongbai: "Second brother, that lantern seems to be a little special, and it is hung in the banquet hall. Does it also require guessing the lantern riddle to win it?"

Yu Yongbai touched Xingxing's little head and said, "Don't worry about that. Don't forget, your third brother is here."

Yu Yongliu also reached out and touched Xingxing's hair, and just smiled and asked her, "Do you like it?"

Xing Xing nodded her head, but before she could say anything, Yu Mingzhu beside her looked very pleased: "This year's lantern king is quite unique, it's a phoenix."

Yu Chongjie smiled and said, "Zhuzhu likes this? Big brother won it for you."

When Xing Xing looked over to the Xin Guogong Mansion, she happened to see the gorgeously dressed young woman behind Yu Chongjie. She was about to reach out to pull Yu Chongjie's clothes, but when she heard Yu Chongjie say that he wanted to win the flower lantern for Yu Mingzhu, she withdrew her hand sadly.

Xing Xing turned around and said to Yu Yongliu openly, "Third brother, I like that lantern, but since it is the king of lanterns, it must be difficult to win. Let's give it a try. It would be great if we can win, but if we can't, the important thing is to participate. Anyway, the other lanterns are also very beautiful, so it's not necessary to have this one."

Yu Yongliu smiled and pinched Xingxing's cheek again: "Okay, just wait here."

Yu Yongliu walked to the door of the guest house and signed up for the activity of guessing riddles on the tower to win lanterns.

Seeing this, Yu Chongjie's face darkened slightly, and he quickly stepped forward, almost following Yu Yongliu into the guest room.

Yu Chongen couldn't help but walked a few steps towards Xingxing and the others and snorted, "You guys want the King of Lights too?"

Yu Yongbai chuckled: "No?"

Yu Chongen laughed and said, "I didn't say no. I just want to tell you, don't wait any longer. My elder brother has already climbed the tower for our Zhuzhu. This King of Lanterns can only be his."

Yu Yongbai said "Wow" insincerely, and looked at Yu Chongen with a half-smile: "Is your elder brother so amazing?"

Yu Chongen became more and more unhappy: "What a weird thing! My elder brother was the top scholar in the tenth year of Jiazheng! It's just a small lantern!"

"Oh, number one scholar, you're really amazing." Yu Yongbai sighed insincerely.

But the tone of voice sounded like a mockery.

Yu Chongen was so angry that he clenched his fists!

Xingxing couldn't help but sigh that her second brother had been doing business for so many years and was nice to his family, but once he met outsiders, he would be weird and fearless.

Yu Mingzhu called out "Second Brother", and Yu Chongen immediately put away his anger and turned to look at Yu Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu, what's wrong?"

Yu Mingzhu said angrily, "Every brother is the most powerful in the eyes of us sisters. You said such things in front of Miss Yu, so it's no wonder that she is unhappy."

Yu Chongen's eyes fell on Xingxing.

Xing Xing: “?”

No, I didn't say anything, how do you know I'm unhappy?

Yu Chongen snorted and muttered, "Coquettish."

Xing Xing: “?”

No, the relationship between you two siblings is quite interesting. One says I am unhappy, and the other says I am spoiled.

Suddenly, there was a deafening cheer from all around. It turned out that someone had answered the riddle of one of the lanterns hanging on the eight corners of the banquet hall correctly and took down one of the lanterns with great skill.

Xingxing ignored the brother and sister, and clapped her hands and joined in the cheers.

This brother and sister were talking to themselves, just like they were acting, and it was not as good looking as the lanterns at other places!

Soon, the second cup, and the third cup were taken down one after another after someone guessed correctly.

It was not until the fifth cup that the mystery of the phoenix and the pearl was solved.

A handsome man who looked like a scholar climbed onto the top floor. If it wasn’t Yu Yongliu, who else could it be?

——He guessed the Lantern King’s riddle correctly and went to get the Phoenix Pearl.

Xingxing immediately cheered!

Yu Chongen cried out in disbelief: "How is this possible!"
