The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Aning stood in front of the stall, staring intently at the rabbit lantern above her head, racking her brains, but she couldn't come up with a single clue.

The boss found the little girl incredibly cute and quick-witted, so he couldn't help but give her a hint: "Little girl, think carefully, this thing only appears at sea."

maritime?

Ah Ning stared blankly at the shop owner and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what's the sea?"

"It's a sail."

"Ah Ning is still young, so it's not surprising that she hasn't heard of the sea."

After the clear, melodious voice, there was the sound of a folding fan being closed.

Ah Ning's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned her head. When she saw the person who came, she jumped up and down with joy.

"Father Ye!"

"What brings you here?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than his gaze was drawn to the white-haired man walking behind Ye Linqian.

"Father Gu?"

"Why did you all come together?"

Ye Linqian wore a moon-white brocade robe, his black hair was tied high on his head with a gold-inlaid jade crown, and he had a handsome appearance and elegant demeanor.

Compared to Ye Linqian, Ji Yan possesses a completely different temperament.

Her dark robes contrasted sharply with her long, silver-white hair, making her stand out and appear even more striking. Her already fair skin was accentuated by a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, giving her an alluring, almost bewitching air...

The appearance of these two eye-catching men immediately drew everyone's attention!

"Wow, that person in the black dress has incredibly fair skin! Much fairer than a young woman's!"

"His skin is so white, and his hair is white too. He looks like a sickly person, so how come he has so much energy?"

"Wait! I recognize that man next to the white-haired man! Isn't that the city lord of Fengrong City?"

"Fengrong City? Holy crap! Nobody said the city lord of Fengrong City, the richest city in the world, was so outrageously handsome!"

"Wait a minute! You've all missed the point! The point is, why does that little girl call both of them 'Dad'? Since when can our Great Liang have polyandry?"

Ye Linqian and Ji Yan paid no attention to their discussion, while A Ning didn't quite understand. Only Qiao Wan was shocked by the last sentence and was anxious to explain, but didn't know where to begin.

Fortunately, Aning hadn't called her since they started guessing riddles. These people had all gathered around from behind, so no one should know that she was Aning's mother.

Therefore, Qiao Wan decided not to explain.

But the next moment, Ah Ning grabbed her sleeve and said crisply:

"Mother!"

"We've finally run into two gentlemen! Shall we go to the lantern festival together?"

A collective gasp filled the air...

"Wait! Isn't that the Prime Minister's wife? And that little girl... is she the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family?"

"The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family is calling two people 'Dad'? What about the Prime Minister? Has he been cuckolded or something?"

Qiao Wanxin suddenly jerked her head up!

In Daliang, reputation is a very important thing!

Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out:

"That shouldn't be the case. I remember on the day of the young lady's birthday banquet, City Lord Ye sent people to deliver gifts—so many gifts, they were piled up like a mountain! It was quite a grand affair. I heard back then that City Lord Ye was the young lady's godfather!"

"I see... In that case, that white-haired young master must just be my godfather, right?"

The people around her were all speaking in hushed tones, but Qiao Wan could hear them clearly.

Fortunately, they didn't guess in any strange or unusual directions...

Qiao Wan smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then let my two godfathers accompany Aning to the lantern festival."

This statement directly confirmed everyone's guesses.

No one made any more wild guesses; instead, everyone started to marvel at how lucky Aning was.

Not only is she the daughter of the prime minister, but she has also recognized the richest city lord as her godfather!

"hiss--"

"Have you all forgotten that His Majesty issued an edict before the new year bestowing upon her the title of Princess Ruiyi! She can walk sideways all over the capital now! Who dares to lay a finger on her?"

The person involved didn't care at all what they were excitedly discussing, and obediently asked the stall owner.

"Grandpa, Aning can't answer this question. Can Aning's dad answer it? Aning's dad is very good. He can definitely answer the rest of the questions! Aning doesn't want the rabbit lantern."

The shopkeeper smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "Lord Ye already answered correctly just now; it is a sail."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Linqian and tentatively asked, "I wonder if City Lord Ye would be interested in continuing to answer?"

Ye Linqian gently waved his folding fan, "We came here to enjoy the lantern festival, so how could we miss the game of guessing lantern riddles? We'd love to."

"Alright, alright," the boss said with a smile. "The next question is..."

"Wait!"

Just then, Huo Ting, dressed in a black robe, stepped out from the crowd.

Qiaoqiao, dressed exquisitely, followed behind him.

Upon seeing Aning, Qiaoqiao immediately went to greet her, exclaiming happily, "Aning! Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

Ah Ning winked playfully, "Ah Ning went to great lengths to persuade Mother to agree! Where did you go just now? Did you find anything fun?"

The two little ones started chatting immediately, completely forgetting about the riddles they were supposed to solve.

Huo Ting glanced at the two particularly conspicuous men behind A Ning and asked the stall owner in a deep voice, "How many of these rabbit lanterns do you have?"

Boss: "This is the last one left."

Huo Ting smiled slightly: "Coincidentally, my daughter also likes this rabbit lantern."

As he spoke, his gaze swept casually over the two men, and he said in a low voice, "In this situation, I don't know how to divide it?"

The shopkeeper responded quickly: "I have plenty of riddles here. How about you two take turns answering them, and whoever answers more gets the rabbit lantern? Is that alright?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area erupted in commotion, with everyone clamoring to watch the game.

Ye Linqian narrowed his eyes, somewhat unable to understand what this guy who had suddenly appeared in front of him was thinking.

However, the noise around him was too loud, and if he left now, it would seem as if he was afraid.

Thinking of this, Ye Linqian closed his folding fan and said with a slight smile, "Please give me a question."

Thus began a fierce battle of solving lantern riddles...

Everyone originally thought that there would be no more than thirty or forty riddles, and one of the two would be defeated.

This is already the 118th question!

The two exchanged fluent and witty replies, neither giving an inch!

Many people around dispersed, leaving mostly those who enjoyed watching the spectacle with great interest.

The boss didn't expect the two of them to be so good at answering questions, and they both answered very quickly, so it was impossible to determine a winner!

He drank several mouthfuls of water because he was so thirsty before continuing with the riddle: "Half scales, half fur; half out of water, one cannot survive; half in water, one cannot escape death."

After saying that, he sat down and took a breath.

This riddle was a bit tricky, and it wasn't easy to guess. He always had time to catch his breath.

Unexpectedly, Huo Ting only frowned slightly before saying, "It's the character '鲜' (fresh)."

The boss stared in disbelief: "..."

"!!!"

Don't you even need to think?!

How can we continue guessing now?

The boss took a deep breath and waved his hand, as if he was exhausted.

"Gentlemen, I'm almost broke, and I don't have many riddles left to come up with. No matter what kind of riddle it is, it won't stump you two."

"Since we can't determine a winner, how about this: I'll make another identical rabbit lantern, so you can both have one, shall we?"
