693 Pour out the incense of the night
"It's just an ordinary little puzzle, easy to guess. The riddles of my Great Zhou Dynasty are many times more difficult than this. Lesprisingly, you have too much self-confidence, and if I am really a bully in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will tell you the mystery. ”
Hua Tian maintained a proud face and said loudly.
The Great Zhou Dynasty looked at her gaze, and the look of expectation became more obvious. If a big country is ridiculed by a small country, they will definitely die in their hearts!
"If you know, come quickly, what's the point of stalling here?" Princess Mingyue looked at Hua Tian coldly and said.
Hua Tian waved his hand, "It's just a little riddle, and it is also worthy of your Di Rong as a classic, it's really funny." I'll tell you that the answer to your riddle is 'people.'" Yes and no? ”
Princess Mingyue and Prince Eagle were originally suspicious and disdainful, but when they heard this, the expressions on their faces froze.
After listening to this, the hundred officials understood after a little thought, and they all nodded their heads with a smile and groaned.
The old sage was on top, laughing, glanced at Hua Tian appreciatively, and asked, "Two, the mystery of the county lord of Anning, is it worthy of the riddle?" ”
The Eagle Prince and Princess Mingyue still couldn't react, he didn't believe that Hua Tian could guess, so that after they heard it, they always thought that what they heard was hallucinating.
Hua Tian smiled and groaned, "I am hospitable to the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I specially put on a performance, so that your brothers and sisters can be happy, and you have never wasted your life." In fact, such a riddle, which of the hundred officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not know? I'm the worst at guessing, but I know the answer, just to tell you. The ordinary people of the Great Zhou Dynasty know far more than you wise men. In addition, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of the Great Zhou Dynasty is far from being comparable to barbarians. ”
"The county lord of Anning said it well!" Someone chimed in.
Although the gentleman's style makes them disdain to deceive people, but this person is a hostile Dijon people, and what they want is to step on their face, so they don't talk about the gentleman's style.
The old sage sat above, looking at Hua Tian, who was training people with a big belly, and his eyes narrowed with a smile.
As a ruler, he just likes to protect the royal family's reputation. Talents who make the country proud of themselves with their ability.
Pity. Hua Liuniang is already the county lord of Anning, and it is not good to be promoted again, otherwise she can be sealed.
Hua Ke looked at the Eagle Prince and Princess Mingyue and shouted. "How. But you two were hit by my sister and lost their souls? Previously said good bets. Does it count? ”
As soon as he mentioned it, everyone remembered that there was still a bet!
Dijon wanted to be a vassal to the Great Zhou Dynasty. And eternal tribute!
Everyone looked at the Eagle Prince and Princess Mingyue with bright eyes.
The Eagle Prince and Princess Mingyue finally came back to their senses, their eyes couldn't stop looking at Hua Tian, obviously feeling extremely puzzled by Hua Tian guessing the answer to the riddle.
When the officials looked at them, they knew that Hua Tian's guess was correct, and they were all happy at the moment.
"No way, how do you know the mystery?" Princess Mingyue looked at Hua Tian in disbelief.
Hua Tian smiled, "Di Rong's best things are nothing more than Er'er in the eyes of my Great Zhou Dynasty. Dijon's best riddle is no less than that! ”
"You bought off our people?" The Eagle Prince stared at Hua Tian tightly and shouted.
"Presumptuous-there are many excuses if you lose, and if you say one more thing, I won't let you get out of the capital!" Zhongli Che shouted loudly, his cold gaze fixed on the Eagle Prince and Princess Mingyue.
The two of them met Zhong Liche's gaze, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and their original momentum suddenly weakened. Princess Mingyue, who had a deep love for Zhong Li, didn't dare to say anything in the face of Zhong Liche's eyes at this moment.
It's the general of Zhenguo! This person is the general of Zhenguo!
This man has been fighting with them for many years, and they have lost a lot of land, and the whole Dijon is not unaware of him. Di Rong's children were disobedient after they were born, and the adults would use the Zhenguo general of the Great Zhou Dynasty to scare them.
Three years ago, they cooperated with several generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty to put this Zhongli to death, but in the end, he escaped. Dijon's army pursued for a month, and in the end only a dozen or so men returned.
Among the people who fled back, several were crazy, but those who were not crazy never dared to go to the battlefield again, did not dare to invade the land of the Great Zhou, and also persuaded the people around them not to plunder in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Crazy is not crazy, when it comes to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is said that there is a heavenly punishment!
At that time, the whole Dijon was shaken, you know, they grew up on horseback, and they were bold from a young age. And the soldiers on the battlefield are more daring than ordinary people, and no one can make them back down. This time, however, they flinched!
The royal family asked those who were not crazy what was going on. Those people's faces were full of horror, "Heaven is punished, God is angry, thunder flashes, the sky and the earth are cracked......"
Everyone thinks that all this is the ghost of the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because he soon returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty alive and beheaded two generals in a row.
He must have had many means, so that he was still trusted and valued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to kill the generals.
The Eagle Prince was full of anger, but in the face of Zhong Liche at this moment, he didn't dare to let out his anger. He could see that the killing intent in Zhong Liche's eyes was real.
Princess Mingyue was kicked by Zhong Liche and vomited blood before, and their brother and sister checked the couple Zhong Liche and the county lord of Anning, and knew that Zhong Liche loved his wife very much. For the sake of this wife, he returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, and after getting married, he never went out to mess with flowers and grass.
Now, he and the Mingyue brothers and sisters don't have much respect for that Anning County Lord, and they have made a lot of nonsense before, no wonder the killing intent in the eyes of this Zhongli general is so obvious.
He looked at the old sage and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the riddle of the county lord of Anning is correct. Today's bet, I will go back to tell my father and give an explanation to the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
The old sage nodded happily, he also knew that this eagle prince would not be able to make a bet today, and the Great Zhou Dynasty responded to the face, which made him very happy.
Seeing that the old sage did not make trouble, the Eagle Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "I am here to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday. Now that the gift has been delivered, please return to my kingdom of Great Dijon. ”
Staying any longer, he was really afraid that the Zhenguo general would slaughter him.
Princess Mingyue heard. was about to oppose it immediately, but before she could speak, she received her brother's gaze.
"Go back now? It was too hasty. The old sage shook his head and said.
Although he was not angry on his face, he was already angry in his heart.
It is too rude to go to someone's birthday banquet to celebrate his birthday, and go back before the birthday banquet is over, and it seems that he does not give face to the host.
"It's not in a hurry, it's that my father has something to do and urgently summons me back. Summons has been received before. However, because I want to attend His Majesty's birthday. That's the excuse. The Eagle Prince said.
However, the old saint and the hundred officials did not believe his words, and there was no sign before, so why did he suddenly say that he wanted to go back?
"It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later, you can leave early tomorrow morning." The old saint said this from above. He looked away. I didn't look at the Eagle Prince and Princess Mingyue again. Obviously, the matter is not going to be discussed again.
The Eagle Prince glanced at Princess Mingyue and said in a loud voice, "There is one more matter for His Majesty the Emperor." Princess Mingyue has been in love with General Zhenguo for a long time, and asked His Majesty to agree to let her sister marry General Zhenguo and have the right to be a relative of the two countries. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people's eyes fell on Hua Tian.
She has just been in the limelight, and at this moment, someone actually hit her husband, General Zhenguo, with the idea, is it really incredible?
This clock left the crowd and sneered, "I already have a lady in my room, if you want to come in, you can only be a maid." ”
"General, Mingyue is willing to be a concubine-" Princess Mingyue looked at Zhong Liche affectionately.
"I don't plan to take a concubine in my life, and now there is still a shortage of maids in the house who pour night incense." Zhong Li Che put his hands behind his back and said in a loud voice.
As soon as these words came out, laughter rang out below.
That's too much of a bully! Although Princess Mingyue is a princess of a small country, her status is also noble, and she is used to pour night incense, which is obviously deliberately belittling her.
Princess Mingyue looked at Zhong Liche in disbelief, her healthy body was a little shaky, how could he be so ruthless?
She is so affectionate and willing to be a concubine, why doesn't he accept it?
She is a princess and is as beautiful as a flower, what is not as good as this Hua Liuniang?
Hua Tian sat on his seat and looked at Princess Mingyue quietly.
Those who dare to covet her really don't know whether they are alive or dead.
"What, you're going to pour night incense on my house?" Zhongli saw that Princess Mingyue was silent, and sneered.
"Zhong Liche, my sister is of noble birth, how can I be, how can I ......" The Eagle Prince was so angry that he couldn't speak, and turned his head to look at the old sage, "Your Majesty, my great Dijon has the heart to marry the two countries, this Zhong Liche is too child's play, is this to provoke a war between the two countries?" ”
Zhong Li said proudly, "If you Di Rong are not convinced, even if you call, I will kill you and the others!" ”
"You ......" The Eagle Prince couldn't imagine that Zhong Liche was not afraid of provoking a war, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhong Li Che glanced at him coldly and looked at Princess Mingyue, "If you don't have the intention of pouring night incense, you won't appear in front of me in the future!" ”
Princess Mingyue was sad and embarrassed, she looked at Zhong Liche, and then at the people around her who were looking at her with mockery, and suddenly pushed the Eagle Prince away and ran out quickly.
Seeing this, the Eagle Prince hurriedly followed. The rest of the messengers made amends to the old saint one after another, and then hurried out.
Zhong Li looked at the old sage, "The minister disturbed the birthday of the saint, and asked the sage to forgive his sins." ”
"That's it......" the old sage waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Fang Caitian helped the Great Zhou Dynasty win glory, and he couldn't blame her right away. And Zhong Liche will never agree to this matter, no matter how you look at it, in fact, it was all caused by Princess Mingyue.
After leaving the Dijon people, the old sage let the hundred officials freely watch the dance, and he himself held the "Saint's Flower Drawing" to admire.
The queen was beside him, and she also watched.
Before long, the old queen mother also said that she wanted to see it, so the old sage took the painting, walked to the queen mother's side, and accompanied the queen mother to see it.
Hua Tian here, Zhao Xiuchu and Lin Xinqing both came over, and the two of them were in the same mind as Hua Tian, and they both suspected that Yao Zhuo had taken Ye Yaoning's dowry to use.
However, when the two arrived, they congratulated Hua Tian first, and couldn't help but mention Fang Cai's matter.
When the old Duchess of Zhenguo heard it, she was honored, "Liuniang has always been a smart ......" She was very happy, Hua Tian showed her face in front of hundreds of officials, which is equivalent to the Zhenguo Mansion showing her face in front of hundreds of officials.
Aunt Zhongli was a little worried in her heart, since the saint did not restrict everyone to move in her seat, many people came to greet Hua Tian. And she, the new Duchess of Zhenguo, was thrown aside.
But this is outside, Hua Tian is in the limelight, she didn't dare to do anything, so she had to keep squeezing out a smile and not saying a word.
Hua Tian smiled and humbled himself for a few words, then excused himself and said that he was going to Xiaoxie, and left with Zhao Xiuchu and Lin Xinqing.
The three of them walked to an open lawn, and then sat in the middle of the lawn and talked.
Lin Xinqing lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Yao Dalang wanted to return Yao Ning's dowry to the Ye Mansion before, why did Yao Dalang actually take out Mr. Shuangcheng's paintings now?" ”
She and Zhao Xiuchu were also convinced that with Yao Zhuo's financial resources at this time, it was impossible to afford such expensive paintings.
"I'm still not sure if that painting is the one Tian'er gave to Yaoning." Although Zhao Xiuchu said so, she was also inclined to Yao Zhuo to take the words in Ye Yaoning's dowry.
She was very disappointed, after all, Yao Zhuo has always been a gentleman with good conduct in her heart.
Hua Tian said in a low voice, "Well, we have to find out about this matter." "Ye Yaoning has been gone for more than three years, and Yao Zhuo has been keeping his original promise, and he doesn't look like a bad person.
"It's been more than three years, and we are also looking at this Yao Dalang. He is also sincere to Yao Ning. Hopefully, he didn't take Yao Ning's dowry out. Lin Xinqing said in a low voice.
These Ye Yaoning's friends are very strict with people, and they will always suspect Yao Zhuo from time to time. But Ye Yaoning's mother's family is unusually tolerant of Yao Zhuo, and vigorously supports Yao Zhuo to take the position, and they have put a lot of effort into it.
"I went back and asked Thogo to check, and I found it and told you." Hua Tian made a decision in a low voice.
It's not really useful for them to guess like this now, but it will make them upset. It's best to wait until you've probed before making a decision.
Zhao Xiuchu and Lin Xinqing nodded, and couldn't help but talk about Ye Yaoning.
After talking for a while, about the time was almost up, Lin Xinqing and Zhao Xiuchu helped Hua Tian up, and then walked back.
When I almost walked to the banquet, I met Mrs. Ye and Yao Zhuo. Mrs. Ye was whispering something to Yao Zhuo, who turned his back to them, unable to see his expression or movements.
Mrs. Ye said something, and when she looked up and saw Hua Tian and the three of them, she hurriedly waved at the three of them, and then led Yao Zhuo over.
Several people greeted each other one by one, and then began to speak.
Mrs. Ye sighed to Hua Tian and the others, "Da Lang is not young now, and there is not even a person to serve in the house. My family Yao Ning died early, and she was not blessed, alas...... I was just persuading him to accept a noble concubine into the mansion, and there was someone who knew the warmth and cold. But he didn't want to ......."
After speaking, he shook his head, with a look of disapproval, but Hua Tian and the others clearly saw the satisfaction in her eyes. (To be continued......)
