The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 103 - 73: Shopping and Fun_2

"Just go and see for yourself." Wu Xufan obviously enjoyed being part of the excitement.

Therefore, he seemed very enthusiastic about anything Ye Qichi wanted to do.

It was a stark contrast to Xiao Jinxing, who always appeared as a man without desires.

The two made their way into the crowd.

Xiao Wu hurriedly pushed the Prince over.

Because the street was crowded, Xiao Wu found it inconvenient to push the wheelchair with one hand while holding a little rabbit with the other, so he just gave the rabbit to the Prince.

And to everyone’s surprise... the Prince actually took it.

Xiao Wu was also astonished.

But he dared not show it, acting very naturally, as if it was no big deal.

After all, the Prince was thin-skinned.

At the moment, Xiao Jinxing was sitting in the wheelchair, holding the little rabbit in his arms, while Xiao Wu pushed him, following Ye Qichi and Wu Xufan.

"It turns out to be a couplet matching game." Ye Qichi watched men and women pondering over their couplets with a lack of interest.

"Don’t feel like playing?" Wu Xufan asked, judging by her expression.

"What’s so fun about that."

"That’s true." Wu Xufan continued the conversation.

In his heart, he knew that Ye Qichi wasn’t good with literature, so naturally, she would not be able to match couplets.

The two were about to leave at that moment.

"I suspect it’s not about lacking fun, but rather that the young master can’t come up with a match," said the vendor suddenly in a sardonic tone.

Wu Xufan frowned.

Ye Qichi turned to look at the vendor, "What if I do come up with one?"

"If the young master can match ten couplets within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, this Guanyin jade carving is yours. If not, you must pay for my riddle," replied the vendor.

Ye Qichi looked at the palm-sized jade carving beside her.

She could tell at a glance it was a fake.

Pretending not to notice, she asked, "How much for your riddle?"

"One Silver," he replied.

"Let’s wager a bit more." Ye Qichi suddenly raised the stakes.

"How would the young master like to bet?"

"In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, I will come up with twenty matched couplets. If I win, I don’t need your jade carving; I want the Jade Pendant you’re wearing. If I lose, I’ll give you ten Silvers," she proposed.

Wu Xufan was taken aback.

Not just surprised that Ye Qichi could tell the carving was fake with a single glance, but also because of her boldness.

But then he thought, if she couldn’t come up with the matches, he could help her.

And ten Silvers wasn’t a negligible amount.

The vendor clearly hesitated.

The jade carving was fake, but the Jade Pendant was a genuine family heirloom.

"What’s the matter, is the Jade Pendant smaller than the carving? Is the vendor worried? Or is the carving problematic and actually worthless..."

"I run a legitimate business, everything is certainly genuine. Since the young master wants the Jade Pendant, I’ll wager it in a game against you," the vendor didn’t want to be called out by Ye Qichi, and said, "But I have one condition."

"What condition?"

"No one else can help, otherwise it doesn’t count."

"Agreed." Ye Qichi promptly concurred.

So quickly that Wu Xufan hadn’t even spoken yet.

Wu Xufan touched his nose.

If the Princess loses face later, it wouldn’t be his fault.

"Young master, please." The vendor took out the couplets that had already been prepared for Ye Qichi to choose from.

The couplets were all folded up, naturally hiding their contents.

Ye Qichi randomly picked twenty.

The vendor had already prepared pen and ink for her on the side.

"Young master, be attentive, the time for an incense stick to burn starts now."

Ye Qichi opened a couplet.

The first couplet read, "The goat ascends the mountain, the mountain bumps the goat’s horns."

At that moment, because of the increase in stakes between Ye Qichi and the vendor, many onlookers gathered around.

Seeing Ye Qichi’s couplet, they all pondered.

Wu Xufan pondered as well. freēwēbnovel.com

In truth, he wasn’t good at poetry or couplets, such literary pursuits were never his forte.

He had not come up with an answer yet.

When he saw that Ye Qichi had opened the second one and, after looking at it for a while, put it down.

She proceeded to open all twenty couplets in this manner.

Without writing down a single answer.

The vendor’s face broke into a triumphant grin.

He had thought he’d encountered a master, but it turned out to be all bluster.

The other onlookers also shook their heads with a hint of disdain, and some even laughed mockingly.

Wu Xufan also felt a bit embarrassed on the side.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Jinxing.

Contemplating whether to ask this man for help.

Just then.

Ye Qichi suddenly picked up the brush and ink.

She began to write earnestly.

On touching the paper.

The handwriting wasn’t very good.

This attracted another round of jeers from the onlookers.

Unaffected, Ye Qichi wrote dutifully, stroke by stroke, she penned the first couplet’s match, "The water buffalo enters the water, the water reaches the buffalo’s waist."
