One morning a year later, the emperor had breakfast and was holding the little princess in the bedroom of the Zimo nobles, teasing the little princess.

The emperor said gently: "Xuan'er, our daughter is four months old, and according to convention, the princess is given a name when she is half a year old. You can come up with three to five names to choose from, and then the Queen and I will choose one of these names as the official name of the little princess. Have you ever thought about any names that are both good and meaningful? ”

Zi Mo Guiren lowered his head shyly and said, "Your Majesty, you will make fun of your concubines!" As you know, my predecessor was a gecko in the garden of General Zimo's mansion, and I was fortunate to cultivate in human form, and I was accepted as a righteous daughter by the general and sent to this palace to be named a nobleman. The concubines are not as literate as the other sisters, and the concubines can't think of any good names. Everything is up to you, the emperor and the queen. As long as it is the name of the emperor, you and the queen's concubine like it! ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Okay, Xuan'er, I'm going to go to the morning court, and I won't come to you tonight." I want to think about the name of the little princess with the queen. After speaking, the emperor hurriedly walked out of the palace, and the soft sedan chair had been waiting for the emperor in the courtyard for a long time. The palanquin bearers carried the palanquin and went straight to the council hall.

The emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair as usual, looking not angry and arrogant. The emperor asked loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a book to play today?" ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, General Ziqi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, on the way to the morning court just now, a masked strange man handed me a letter when he got off the horse, I don't know why?" The envelope bears the words 'Holy Majesty'. I am afraid that the people who have been wronged by the people have asked for me, so I want to present this letter to the emperor now, and I hope you will see what it is about. ”

After hearing this, the emperor only felt funny in his heart, but his expression was still serious. The eunuch walked down the steps, took the letter from General Ziqi's hand, and presented it to the emperor. After the emperor opened the letter, he read it slowly. After reading it, the emperor's face immediately turned gloomy.

The emperor said loudly: "All Aiqing, circulate this letter and read it immediately." Then everyone had to post how they felt after reading it! I'd like to hear from you. ”

After all the ministers circulated and read it, they all looked listless. They all looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to speak.

Seeing that everyone had blank expressions, Lord Shouzun took the lead in kneeling down and said, "Your Majesty, this letter is clearly a challenge book!" As far as the minister knows, this Iron Elephant Country is very far away from our country, if you set off from Purple City day and night, you will have to travel all the way to the west for two months to reach the territory of the Iron Elephant Country. It's strange that they sent someone to send this challenge book! Our two countries have never had any contact, and if we want to go to the Iron Elephant Country, we have to pass through two small countries, and we don't have a border dispute! But the minister thinks that the water will cover the earth, and the soldiers will block it. We must accept the challenge! It's just that the situation in front of me is very tricky! ”

The emperor said in a serious tone: "Lord Chief, as far as I know, all the people in this Iron Elephant Country are elephant-faced human beings, and their strength is infinite. Most of them haven't read any books, so I'm afraid that this time they are challenging our country, there is something else behind the scenes, right? I believe that they may have been used by other countries to write this challenge. The Iron Elephant Kingdom is not scary, what is scary is the invisible black hand that manipulates the puppet! ”

The first one nodded yes, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the three rounds of competition mentioned in this letter are all the strengths of their Iron Elephant Country. If we follow the rules they propose, we have very little chance of winning! Your Majesty, you must know that it is very easy to find a strong person in this Iron Elephant Country, but in my country, you may not be able to pick one out of a thousand! ”

The emperor nodded helplessly and said, "According to this letter, the envoy will meet me tomorrow, and of course I will meet him." Otherwise, the kings and ministers of the Iron Elephant Kingdom will think that we are afraid of them, so they will not dare to meet with them. But when the letter says that we have a month to find the strong men, they mean it very clearly, they think that in one month, even if we mobilize the power of the whole country, it is impossible to find three real strong people to accept their challenge! Therefore, I have decided to mobilize the joint efforts of the city lords everywhere tomorrow to see if we can find three strong people in a month's time. I am absolutely confident in this, and I hope that all Aiqing will not grow the prestige of others and lose their own sharpness. Our country is full of talents, how can it lose to that small country! Let's go down to the court today, if there are strange people around Aiqing, you can also recommend them to me at any time, and I will definitely meet them. ”

One by one, the ministers went down listlessly and walked out of the hall with a disgraced face.

The emperor went down to the court, and he couldn't wait to come to the queen's bedroom. The emperor hadn't seen the queen for three days, and the matter of the previous dynasty really gave him a headache. He wanted to tell the queen, who always had a lot of good ideas.

When the emperor came to the queen's bedroom, the queen was embroidering. Seeing the emperor come in, Poel hurriedly beckoned the palace ladies to go out with her, and only the emperor and queen were left in the room.

The emperor frowned and said, "Qin'er, don't embroider, talk to me." I've encountered a problem again, and I'm so worried that I have a headache! ”

The queen put down the work in her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, I guess you are distressed by the search for the three strong men!" I can offer three great candidates, guess who they are? ”

The emperor was very happy to hear the queen say this, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Qin'er, I guess these three people must be the stars in your Qingping constellation." Why did I forget, these junior brothers and sisters of my baby queen are all immortals, is it still difficult to find three strong people? Qin'er, you just let me guess, tell me who it is, okay? ”

The queen smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, seeing that you are in a hurry to look like that, I really want to laugh." Let me tell you the truth. The three people I recommend are: my third brother Li'er, my brother-in-law Ran'er and Yongxi. One of these three people has purple stones in his body, and one of them has broken through level eighty in his kung fu cultivation. As for eternal pity, he is the reincarnation of the blue fox, and I can't even count how many levels his kung fu is, it can be said that it is unfathomable. I don't think any matter how powerful the Hercules of their Iron Elephant Country are, they must not be the opponents of these three people! I'm absolutely confident about that! ”

The emperor laughed and said: "Qin'er, I sometimes feel that all the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty are not as good as you alone, which can make me feel at ease and happy!" You're a priceless treasure to me! ”

Qin'er smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, you say the word 'priceless treasure' every time, your words are so monotonous and boring!" I think you should talk more about this word with Zi Mo and Zi Qi Gui, they must all love to hear it! ”

The emperor hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged the queen tightly and said, "Qin'er, you are the moon in my heart, and they are all stars." There can only be one bright moon in this sky, but there are too many stars to count, and even if the stars shine brightly, so what! ”

The queen smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, I'm not happy if you say that!" What's wrong with this star, I'm the star descending to earth! However, your words reminded me that the name of the little princess might as well be called Xingyue? ”

The emperor gently kissed the queen's forehead and said gently: "Qin'er, in the future, the names of all the princes and princesses in this palace will finally be determined by you." If you like it, it's fine! It's not just the name, which child you like, which child's mother will be more pampered, which child you don't like, which child's mother won't want to be promoted again! In short, your heart is my heart! ”

The queen smiled and quipped: "Brother Cheng, it seems that I, the master of the six palaces, really live up to my name!" ”

The emperor smiled again and said, "Qin'er, you are wrong. Not only the Six Palaces, but you are the real king in this Purple Yang Kingdom, the uncrowned king! ”

The queen lowered her head when she was said, and her face was as red as a blooming peach blossom!
