"Come, princes and county lords of various tribes, I salute you, thank you for coming thousands of miles to the capital of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and so on, you have to ask questions! Whether the tribute tax in the coming year can be reduced by 20% depends on this! Yan Qijin raised his glass to the person sitting on the left. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because the location is like this, the envoys of the tribe are sitting on the left, and the ministers are on the right, so a total of seven tribes are sitting on the left, and see what problems they have prepared this year.

"Emperor Xie, the ministers will do it first as a respect!" The prince and the lord raised their glasses, and then said in unison. Although they are not courtiers who can give advice and answer questions to Yan Qijin, this 'minister' represents their awe and submission to the emperor, so it is also very appropriate.

"Okay, I've drunk a lot of wine, so let's start asking questions in the order in which you sit!" After three rounds of drinking, Yan Qijin felt that the wine was a little better, so he said to everyone, and everyone began to ask questions with a very good look.

The prince of the first tribe asked, 'What are the eight legs, six eyes, four hands, and one tail?' Half an hour later, a minister replied, 'Two men ride a horse,' and the first tribe failed, and the princess of the second tribe asked, 'What is it that wears beautiful clothes and old clothes?' After the same quarter and a half hours, the minister replied, 'Shadows of the earth,' and the second tribe also failed.

The princess of the third tribe asked: 'Put together a hundred mares and a hundred foals, how can you tell which foal was born to which mare?' The ministers did not answer for a short time; The prince of the fourth tribe asked, 'How can I get out of the exit with a vessel with nine holes, and then put the thread in through the entrance,' and the ministers were also stumped and began to meditate.

When Yan Qijin saw this, he toasted the princes and princesses of the tribe a few more glasses. Because whether it is the person who asks the question or the person who answers, the time is only the time of this banquet, and when the banquet is over, whether the person who asked the question is defeated, or the person who answered answers, it is the end of this tribute and questioning, and there will be no next time until the next year. However, it is rare that all the people of the seven tribes fail, and the ministers on their side will not answer all of them, and there will always be one or two tribes whose tribute tax in the coming year can be reduced by one or two percent, which will have no effect on themselves!

"Okay, then the emperor, I'll ask my question!" After Huheyou drank the wine in the cup, he said, he was the fifth person to ask a question, and he also knew that Yan Qijin did this to delay time, but he only cared about whether the Huhe tribe could reduce the tribute tax by 20% in the coming year this time, even if the current tribute tax would not make it difficult for them to eat and wear.

"My question is, 'There are two containers for wine, one for five glasses and one for three and a half glasses, and if you can hold wine twice at most, you have to fill exactly three cups, and I ask you how to do it?' , This vessel has only been built for a short time, and no one in my tribe has answered, including me, so please ask the emperor to let the ministers solve their doubts. This is the question raised by Hoheyou, so the ministers began to think about this new third question.

This year's questions seem to be very difficult! There are still two tribes who have not asked, I don't know what else it will be? Although the emperor's request for them was that as long as they answered the four questions raised by the seven tribes, they still hoped that they could answer all the difficult questions, but now they were stumped all of a sudden, and they didn't know how difficult the remaining two questions would be!

It was also in response to the thoughts of these ministers, the two tribes raised questions one after another, fortunately, the questions they raised were relatively easy, one was a couplet, and the other was a question about arithmetic, so at this point, the ministers had also met the most basic requirements of Yan Qijin, but they still hoped that those three questions could be answered. This is the psychology of a person who wants to know the answer to a difficult problem, and it is also the mood of wanting to do more for the king as a courtier.

"Lord Wang, Miss Zhan is here!" Halfway through the banquet, when everyone was a little drunk, two guards walked in, one walked to Yan Qihao's side and whispered this in his ear, and the other walked to Yuan Gonggong's side and handed him a letter, obviously wanting him to take it to the emperor. After Gonggong Yuan looked at the payment on the envelope, he knew that it was a letter written by Zhan Xiaoyan, so he presented it to Yan Qijin.

"Oh, yes! Prince Hohe, Prince Chiyan, and Lord Jinyu, although my courtiers can't answer the questions you asked, someone can, and she's outside the door at this time, and you'll hear the answers to your questions when I announce her in. I'm sure she'll not let me down! Come on, spread your smile and enter the hall! So the guard who had just come in went out again and brought Zhan Xiaoyan in.

Tonight's smile is obviously dressed up, although she does not have the qualifications and identity to wear palace clothes, but she wears a blue dress, so everyone sees that the woman in front of her is wearing a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil. Fold the waist to micro-step, showing the wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water, and the jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin is obliquely inserted on the head. Xiangjiao jade is delicate and delicate than flowers, her fingers are like peeling onion roots, and her mouth is like containing Zhu Dan, with a smile on her face, she is really a woman who is enough to make people feel amazing.

"The people's daughter sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Of course, Zhan Xiaoyan felt the gaze of everyone projected on her, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, because since she chose to come, she should be ready, otherwise she wouldn't be dressed up. And the reason why she came was because she had her own purpose and intention, she wanted Yan Qijin to give herself an identity, even if she was not a princess, a county lord or the like, but at least she would not be a commoner, so that she would have enough status worthy of Yan Qihao, and then marry him as a wife, and there would not be too much gossip.

Zhan Xiaoyan knew that Yan Qihao was not a person in the identity of a person, otherwise, he would not have paid attention to himself, and she was the same. However, whoever let Yan Qihao be born is a member of the royal family, although he doesn't care about this person, but the two are married, and after they are really together, there will be no shortage of good people muttering, and the emperor will definitely feel that he can't get over his face, so she needs a chance to let the emperor give him an identity suitable for being with Yan Qihao.

"Smiling, please! Smiling, you said in your letter that you can answer these three questions, so since you are so confident that the guards have sent me a message, it means that you have heard these three questions and now have the answers, right? Then please tell me your answer! Yan Qijin said softly, so everyone knows that this girl is a person that Yan Qijin is very familiar with.

"Okay, Your Majesty! First of all, the first question, how to tell who the mothers of the foals are, as long as the foals and the adult horses are separated from the two stables, locked up for a day and a night, without feeding and drinking the foals, and then the horses who are already hungry and panicked will of course run directly to their mothers to drink milk! Zhan smiled and saluted Prince Chiyan, and then directly said the answer to the first question.

"As for how to thread the thread through the vessel with nine holes, that is, catch an ant, tie a thread around its waist, and then apply honey to the nine small holes, then the ant will naturally be attracted to the honey, climb to the nine holes and eat honey, and finally climb to the exit." Zhan smiled and continued to answer the second question, then walked to the table with several containers, and said as he did it:

"Fill it in a 5-cup container first, pour it into a 3-and-a-half-cup container, and have 1 and a half cups left in the 5-cup container; Then pour the wine from 3 and a half containers and pour the remaining 1 and a half glasses from the 5 containers into 3 and a half containers; Finally, fill a 5-cup container with wine and pour into a three-and-a-half-times container with only 2 glasses left, leaving exactly 3 glasses in the 5-cup container. In this way, can Prince Hohe be satisfied? Is it the answer you want? Your Majesty, the people's daughter has fulfilled her mission, and I believe that the emperor has not disappointed you! Zhan smiled and saluted.

Although she is very confident and sure that her answer must be correct, but at this time, she also needs to be affirmed and recognized by the person sitting on the dragon chair. And after he agrees, he will give herself what she wants, as for what she wants, Yan Qijin must know, and she can guess why she wants that reward!

"Good! Smiling, you are really a combination of beauty, wisdom and wisdom, and you have solved this problem for our country, so I will reward you for your meritorious deeds! I will make you the 'Lord of Qiaohui County' and give you a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of jade antiques, are you satisfied? Yan Qijin also said very simply. Because Zhan Xiaoyan had already written all her thoughts on the letter, and what kind of reward she wanted to get from him after she successfully answered the question, he was also very simple at this time.

"Thank you, Lord Ronne! Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live! Zhan smiled and knelt down to thank him. Because since she has accepted Yan Qihao, it is not that she has not considered anything about the matter between the two. Because Zhan Xiaoyan is like this, once she identifies the other party, she will definitely not just enjoy what the other party gives, she also wants to do something. Just like now, her relationship with Yan Qihao has been going well, but there is still an identity missing, an identity that can marry him, the prince, of course, this is to be given by Yan Qijin.

"Your Majesty, Kyoto is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, even if it's just a girl, she is so smart and has solved the problems of the three tribes including the ministers. Since this is the case, then Weichen has a request, please ask the emperor for permission! Hu Heyou, who saw all these things in his eyes, spoke at this time. Because this is the second time he has seen Zhan Xiaoyan, and the second time he has seen it today.

Seeing her beauty and amazement completely different from that in the morning, as well as her unhesitating answer to three difficult questions, and after solving the difficult questions, she naturally asked the emperor for a reward, such a woman made his heartbeat a little irregular, and then a thought appeared in Hu Heyou's heart and mind, 'Get her!' Get her! Make her all her own! Therefore, Hoheyou will open his mouth to ask now.

"Oh, is it? What is the request of Prince Hohe! Let's hear it and see if I can say yes to you! Yan Qijin raised her eyebrows and asked. Because the people of the ordinary tribe will not say anything more if they fail, they know very well that since the problem has been solved, it is useless to say whatever they say, so they all leave directly the next day after the banquet is over. After all, even if the tribe belongs to the Northern Yan Kingdom, it will take more than half a month to get to the nearest tribe.

"Please ask the emperor to give me the lord of Qiaohui County as his wife, and in the future, the tribute tax of the Hohe tribe to the emperor will be increased by two percent, which represents the eternal loyalty of the Hohe tribe to the emperor, please fulfill the emperor!" Hohe lobbied his request, and also added two layers to the tribal tribute tax to the emperor, indicating that he really wanted to get a smile at this time, and even took the initiative to make such a request.

"Oh? Is it? I didn't expect Prince Hohe to have such a good impression of a smile! But Prince, this is not something I can say, and it requires her own consent. Smiling, Prince Hohe has asked me for a kiss, I don't know what you think? Yan Qijin would not agree, and he was sure that Zhan Xiaoyan would refuse, but he wanted to hear how she would refuse, after all, this was in full view, and Huheyou's identity was not so simple.

He made a request in front of the envoys of other tribes and so many ministers sitting here, and he seemed to be very confident that Yan Qijin would agree to his request, so to refuse him at this time, it takes a certain amount of skill, if it is too direct, it will make him lose face, and it will make the people of the Hohe tribe feel uncomfortable at that time.

Yan Qihao has always looked at Zhan's smiling performance, his eyes are full of love and tenderness, this is his girl! In the end, the imperial brother gave her the title of county lord, although for a while he couldn't think of the reason for the imperial brother to do this, but then he saw the satisfied smile on Zhan Xiaoyan's face, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he probably guessed her thoughts.

Because Zhan Xiaoyan has never been a person who cares about identity, a big reason why he will show such an expression at this time is because of himself. Later, he heard Huheyou's request to marry her, which made Yan Qihao's eyes flash with anger, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Zhan Xiaoyan shaking his head at him, and knew that she wanted to refuse.
