"Slow! The king said that this pearl contained a problem. If someone in the Celestial Empire can solve this, they can present this pearl! ”

Sure enough, there is something else! Leng Zixi was secretly funny, this Xiliu envoy was clearly playing tricks, and retreating was advancing. said that he wanted to offer treasures, but it was not the idea of making the Celestial Empire lose face.

"Just ask the envoy to ask the question!" Baili Muyuan's tone was quite impatient, and a little displeasure appeared on his face.

The envoy said: "Before solving this problem, please ask Your Majesty to summon ten palace maids to come up, and you need to be the most ingenious!" ”

Ten palace maids wearing light pink gauze clothes and red skirts stood in a row. They were the most ingenious women chosen from the Imperial Palace's Needlemen. In front of everyone, a white porcelain plate with blue and white entwined lilies is placed on a plate containing silk threads of various colors.

The envoy distributed the saltwater pearls in the sandalwood box to the ten palace maids, and he turned around and bowed to Baili Muyuan.

"Your Majesty, the second test question is to let these ten palace maids thread the silk thread in their hands through the pearl. As long as one of the palace maids can complete the competition, it will be considered a victory. Pearls are also presented to His Majesty as offerings. ”

He paused, and suddenly his words changed. "But if they can't finish it, Your Majesty will not only not get the pearl, but also reward Siliu with an item of the same value as the pearl as a gift in return!" Speaking of this, a hint of smugness appeared on his face, as if he had already won the battle!

Looking at the ten palace maids standing in front of him and the dazzling pearls in their hands, Baili Muyuan was silent. Looking at the smug look of the Xiliu envoy, I am afraid that there is a hidden mystery in the pearl. But now, he couldn't retreat, and Baili Muyuan was a little hesitant for a while.

Seeing that Baili Muyuan was silent, the envoy of Xiliu opened his mouth and said provocatively: "Your Majesty, is you afraid of losing the competition?" I still can't get a return gift of the same value as a pearl! ”

Baili Muyuan's face sank, and he said angrily: "The envoy doesn't need to use the law of agitation, I don't care about this little thing." "It really makes no sense that a small Xiliu envoy has repeatedly challenged his prestige, even if he knows that he is using the method of agitation, he can't care about it at this time!

"You all give me snacks, and whoever wins will be rewarded!" His eyes swept over the palace maids in front of him, and Baili Muyuan commanded in a deep voice.

The palace ladies hurriedly picked up the silk threads in the porcelain plate and twisted them with their hands. It quickly pierced through the hole in the middle of the pearl. Unexpectedly, as soon as I wore a little silk thread, I encountered huge resistance. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get the thread in their hands through the bead hole. At last. All ten palace maids failed.

"You are cheating, the holes on both sides of the pearl can't be penetrated at all!" A palace maid shouted dissatisfiedly. The other palace ladies also nodded their heads again and again, no matter how hard they tried, they could not successfully string the pearls.

"If you can easily string a pearl, how can it be a problem?" The envoy laughed triumphantly.

Stupid people of the Celestial Empire, how can they understand the secret hidden in the pearl, this pearl hole is processed by the skilled craftsmen of Xiliu, and the hole ** has nine twists and eighteen turns. If you don't understand the mystery, you won't be able to string the pearls.

Bai Li Lanye stepped forward to pick up a pearl, looked at the lamp and candle carefully, and vaguely saw the twists and turns through the faint candle flame.

He thought to himself: This bead has clearly been tampered with, and it can't be pierced with ordinary silk threads. However, the light can penetrate, indicating that the two ends of the pearl are actually connected. That's right. That's the only way to try.

Thinking of this, he said to Baili Muyuan: "Your Majesty, your son has a way to string this pearl." But. It takes half a cup of tea time! ”

When Baili Muyuan heard this, he smiled: "You just have to do it!" ”

When the envoy of Xiliu saw that it was this young prince again, he spoke with disdain. "Why are you again. Could it be that there is no one else in the Celestial Empire? ”

Baili Lanye immediately replied loudly: "To deal with you, I am enough to be a small member of Baili!" ”

Those individuals were quite worried about the Baili Lanxie.

Leng Xiaolin said: "The envoys of Xiliu are obviously prepared, I don't know if the four princes can handle it!" ”

Leng Ziyan pouted slightly: "The Xiliu people have a bad stomach, who knows what tricks have not been used!" She saw that the four princes were prosperous, and the competition just now was very happy, and she couldn't help but have a deeper love for him. I can't wait for the four princes to win another game and thwart the arrogance of the envoys of Nasilus.

The queen mother motioned to the palace maid to put on new tea, took a sip, and said with a slight smile: "We have won this competition!" Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they didn't compare, how did they know that they had won?

"Sister, why did you say this, could it be that sister, you also thought of a way to solve the problem?" Concubine Ru said curiously. She saw the queen's calm face, as if she had predicted the result. Once again, he deeply felt that if this woman's intelligence was her enemy, she was afraid that she would be the most feared opponent in her life.

The queen smiled: "The concubine is just a guess!" "With the wisdom of the four princes, they will naturally think of that method, the outcome has been decided, so why worry?

After about half a cup of tea, Baili Lanye entered the banquet again. At this time, he hung a string of earth beads with silk threads on his wrist, which were clearly the more than a dozen pearls of the land and the kingdom of Xiliu.

"Father, my son is fortunate not to be dishonored!" He removed the string of beads from his wrist and handed it to the envoy.

The envoy was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his eyes, and he took the string of beads and looked at it repeatedly. That's right! Indeed, it was made of pearls that he had brought from the kingdom of Zeleus.

"You...... How did you do that? The envoy of Sileuc was in such a great shock that he could barely speak.

Seeing the envoy's expression like this, Baili Muyuan was in a good mood. "Fourth Prince, I'm also curious about how you did it."

"Because of this!" Bai Li Lanye spread out the left hand he had been holding, and there was a small black thing lying quietly in his palm. As if sensing everyone's attention, the black thing slowly crawled.

"Ants?!" Someone exclaimed. There were also palace concubines on the side seats, and only the queen smiled knowingly.

Tie the silk thread to the ant, and then apply honey to the hole on the opposite side of the pearl, and the ant will crawl towards the end where the honey is present, and will naturally bring the silk thread to the opposite side.

It's just a game I played with my playmates when I was a child, so I didn't expect it to be used here today.

"The outcome of this competition has been decided, and the envoy still has something to say!" After listening to Baili Lanxie's explanation, Baili Muyuan smiled and said: "It seems that this string of pearls is destined to have nothing to do with Xiliu!" ”

The envoy shouted unwillingly: "There is still a competition, if you can still win, let Xiliu surrender willingly!" "Losing two games in a row made the envoy quite faceless, and he had to use the last killer move.

He looked at the Baili Lanevil on the side with ill intentions. "Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, but the son can win two games in a row at a young age, which is really admirable. The next game must also be a childe! ”
