“Ah… they’ve finished guessing the riddles outside. Now, they’re trying to answer the second verse of a poem contest.

“There was a student who answered correctly, and everyone was cheering for him.” Gu Wanning replied.

“If I didn’t remember wrongly, that student is a member of our Imperial Clan, your Third Aunt’s great-grandson; what’s his name again?

“Oh, right, his name was Zheng Youan.

“I heard that he’s pretty smart and already a high scholar at such a young age.”

After the Emperor heard it, he had no impression of the student, but he still knew his Third Aunt and remembered this name.

The Zheng family had many people in their family. Unfortunately, the Zheng family was a legacy of the previous dynasty and was suppressed by his royal grandfather’s generation, so they gradually withdrew from the court.

He wouldn’t mind letting them re-enter the court as officials if they were willing to serve the country.

Thinking of this, he leaned over and listened carefully.

“Young man, you’re very talented. Please listen to my next question.

“The first verse. The earth is happy, and heaven is happy, at the Lantern Festival.”

After a pause, a voice still in p.u.b.erty replied calmly and confidently, “The second verse. The lights and the moon shine, exchanging glows in the peaceful spring.”

There was another round of cheers.

“The last question. The first verse. The lights and the moon shine, celebrating the three festivals with glee.”

“Second verse. Flowers and trees are flourishing, as we celebrate the same spring.”

With waves of cheers, the Emperor also smiled at the bright little guy.

In the end, Zheng Youan won the reward of 100 taels of silver and left with the applause of a group of people.

Next were songs about the Lantern Festival, as many lanterns were sold at the store.

As the festival continued, the crowd dispersed slowly in all directions.

“Ah, ah, help! My shoes!”

“Stop, stop! You’re taking my bag!”

“My child, my child! Return my child to me!”

“Do you need me to inform the soldiers outside?” Gu Chengrui put Guoguo down and said.

“No need. When it gets dark, the four city gates will already be closed. If there really is a criminal, not one of them will be able to escape.” The Emperor smiled.

That confident smile made Zhou Ying understand that tonight was not just a blind date. He was probably catching someone.

Thinking of this, she spread out her divine sense and looked outside.

No one knew who had started it, but the entire street was in chaos now.

Many small merchants and hawkers on the side had their stalls smashed.

Many people were squeezed to the ground, causing a stampede.

Zhou Ying was looking for the source seriously, locking onto a few people. They were in different areas, but their method was the same—creating chaos.

At the same time, a few women and even children began to abduct the girls who were alone, especially those who were sixteen or seventeen years old.

When she saw this, Zhou Ying didn’t alert them because she realized that Zhou Huaiming and the other three had already set their eyes on one of the women.

Soon, the soldiers appeared and calmed everyone down. They also sent the people who were trampled to the medical center.

Fortunately, no one died.

After the streets were restored to order, many people went home, so the streets became quiet.

The old man who sold the lanterns sat on the chair and cried.

In order to attract people, he especially took out a hundred taels of silver as a reward for the poem contest.

He did not expect that, in the end, he would be unable to recuperate his cost.

Zhou Ying shook her head when she saw this. She did not know what to say.

About an hour later, Zhou Huaiming and the others walked in.

“Huaiming, have you caught him?” The Emperor asked..
