Feng Nishang seemed to be sincere and said: "It sounds like this, the third prince is exactly what Chaoyang wants." ”

Empress Ning saw that something was wrong, so she pretended to be concerned and said, "Princess, the princes are all excellent, why don't you think about it again?"

Feng Nishang said respectfully: "The queen doesn't need to persuade again, Chaoyang has made up her mind." Please also ask Your Majesty and Empress to fulfill it. ”

Looking at her appearance, Empress Ning almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, how could she let him gain power! In any case, she will not let that slut's son have the slightest chance of turning the tables.

Emperor Chu said worriedly: "It is an honor for my Southern Chu royal family that the princess can take a fancy to my son, but I really don't want to hurt the princess." The princess should choose another prince. ”

Feng Nishang said with a smile: "If it is for what Qin Tianjian said eighteen years ago, Emperor Chu doesn't have to worry, Chaoyang has been very hard since he was a child, but he is not afraid of these gods and ghosts." ”

The words are here, what else can Emperor Jianwen say, so he had to say to the big eunuch next to him: "Go and announce the third prince." After the chief eunuch left, he said: "Since the princess insists, then I will summon the son of the youngster, and it is not too late for the princess to make a decision after reading it." ”

Feng Nishang thanked him: "Emperor Chu arranged it so thoughtfully, Chaoyang is grateful. ”

Emperor Jianwen nodded and said: "It's just a gesture, the princess doesn't have to care, the princess is tired after standing for so long, it's better to sit down and rest, and taste the wine and food of our Nanchu." ”

Feng Ni dressed Yingying and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant: "Chaoyang thanked His Majesty the Emperor of Chu." With that, he returned to his seat.

Emperor Jianwen said again: The envoy came from afar, and I also prepared a gift for Emperor Feng. With a wave of his hand, a line of maids walked up to the temple, each holding a half-sized box in his hand.

Emperor Jianwen commanded: "Open it." The maids opened it one after another, and their movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

I saw that the first box contained several jade rings, the second box contained a fruit full of thorns, as big as a disc containing vegetables on the table, the third box contained a huge night pearl, and the fourth box contained a jade bodhisattva glowing with white light.

Seeing this, the envoy of Beifeng couldn't help but sigh that the emperor of Southern Chu was wealthy, in fact, the officials of Southern Chu were also a little shocked, they had never seen their majesty so generous, and this time in order to deter Beifeng, they also made a big deal.

Seeing the shocked expression of the Beifeng envoy, Emperor Jianwen was naturally extremely proud in his heart, and calmed down and said: "This first one is the Nine Rings, the legend can be solved, but no one has solved it until now, I decided to give it to the Phoenix Emperor, presumably there are many talented people in Beifeng, and they will definitely be able to solve it." When the time comes, remember to talk to me, and I want to see who can solve it. ”

The envoys of Beifeng all sneered again and again, and the Emperor of Southern Chu said it was high-sounding, but he just wanted to give him a dismount.

Feng Nishang stood up and saluted, "Emperor Chu doesn't have to wait for my Beifeng envoy to return to China to know how to untie it. ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at Feng Nishang and said with interest: "Oh? So there are capable people in the Beifeng envoys who can solve it? The princess also asked him to come quickly. ”

Feng Nishang said with a smile: "One woman in Chaoyang is enough." Please also ask Emperor Chu to let Chaoyang give it a try. ”

Emperor Jianwen seemed to be extremely happy and said: "I didn't expect the princess to be the one with extraordinary talents, the princess quickly stepped forward to show, I have been curious about these nine links for a long time, and today I finally met someone who can understand it." This can be described as ruthless, holding Feng Nishang so high, but I didn't think about whether Feng Nishang would not be able to open.

Feng Nishang stepped forward, stopped in front of the box containing the nine rings, gently picked up the legendary nine rings, unfolded them, and everyone sighed secretly that it was indeed nine rings, and the nine jade bracelets were connected together, where could it be unlocked.

Feng Nishang was expressionless, and fell to the ground hard, the jade bracelet shattered to the ground, everyone wanted to stop it but it was too late, they could only watch the jade bracelet fall to the ground in amazement, Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, quickly came back to his senses and accused: "You Beifeng are so rude, our emperor gave away love, you actually fell to the ground, it's really infuriating, this is not looking down on our Nanchu!"

Emperor Jianwen stopped: "Zhao Qing, don't get excited, listen to what the princess has to say?" "It's called Bang Feng Nishang, and secretly asks for an explanation.

The envoys of the Northern Phoenix also secretly complained in their hearts, this is troublesome, but they also know that their eldest princess of Chaoyang must have a solution, this is the power of faith.

Feng Nishang stood quietly in the center of the main hall, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and unhurried, and said with a light smile: "Your Majesty Emperor Chu, Chaoyang has no intention of offending you, now you see, is the Nine Links unraveled?" ”

At this time, everyone reacted from the distress, and it was really unraveled.

Emperor Jianwen could only squeeze out a smile that he thought he could hide from everyone, but everyone still saw Emperor Jianwen's ugly face, and Emperor Jianwen seemed to appreciate: "It is worthy of being the eldest princess of Beifeng Chaoyang, she is really smart." He pointed to the second box and said: "This is the southernmost Qingguo sacrifice, saying that a fisherman caught a seed that he had never seen when he was fishing on the seaside, and he planted the soil out of curiosity, and after five years it grew into a towering tree, and it bore such a fruit, and it was dedicated to the Qingguo Emperor, and the Qingguo Emperor was dedicated to Nanchu." Now in my hands, I don't know what it is, whether I can eat it, but I think it looks golden like a bean, the thorns are like blue ears, and it smells strange, I don't know what the princess thinks? ”

Feng Nishang looked at it carefully, and always felt that she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it, so she said unintentionally: "I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor Chu didn't take a knife to cut it open?"

Emperor Jianwen sighed and said, "I think this thing is very strange, how can I bear to destroy it?" Not to mention whether you can eat it or not, I am very happy just to see such a rare fruit. ”

Feng Nishang said with a smile: "If the fruit is not opened, how can you know what is inside?" ”

Emperor Jianwen seemed to be worried: "Doesn't the princess know? ”

Feng Nishang said honestly: "It seems familiar, but I can't remember it." Then he pondered: "Golden as a bean, with many thorns, and a peculiar smell..... There is a peculiar smell......" suddenly sighed: "Thinking about it like this, it should be durian." ”

Emperor Jianwen was stunned in his heart: this woman is really like a mirror and well-informed. Curious: "This is durian?"

Feng Nishang said: "This is durian." Legend has it that a group of men and women drifted across the sea to the South Seas, and when the boat capsized in the wind and waves, only a couple of men and women drifted for a few days to reach a beautiful island; The inhabitants of the island picked a fruit for them to eat, and soon regained their strength, and the two never wanted to go home, so they married and had children. Later, people named this fruit "durian", which means that people will not want to leave. ”

Emperor Jianwen sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect this durian to have such a story, so why have I never seen it?" Everyone was also extremely surprised in their hearts, and the hearts of several princes were overflowing with jealousy for Chu Tianyi, how could such an excellent woman choose the three princes who were useless.

Feng Nishang said calmly: "Chaoyang only saw it in a certain travelogue when he was a child, and it was introduced like this, and today is the first time I have seen this thing. ”

Emperor Jianwen was slightly disappointed, and asked again, "I don't know if the princess knows how to eat?" From that legend, he knew that this durian was edible.

Feng Nishang said: "I probably know, and I also ask His Majesty the Emperor Chu to give me a knife." ”

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand, and immediately a palace maid stepped forward with a delicate dagger, presumably Emperor Jianwen had already prepared.

Feng Nishang calmly took it, cut it up along the lines of the durian, and separated the flesh after a while, and for a while the strange smell filled the entire hall, and everyone wanted to cover their noses, but they didn't dare to make the slightest move because of the presence of Emperor Jianwen.

Feng Nishang motioned to the maid to carry the durian to Emperor Jianwen's table.

Emperor Jianwen was a little excited: "I have to taste it, and see if it really makes people forget to return?"

As she spoke, the durian had already arrived in front of her, and the taste was even heavier, and Queen Ning couldn't hold her dignified and noble stand. Seeing that Emperor Jianwen cut a piece and was about to stuff it into his mouth, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, can you eat this thing, how can you rely on what the princess says?" Or be careful. ”

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and said: "Don't say it again, I know it in my heart, and when I smell it, I feel comfortable, and I must be able to eat it." ”

Jiang Ao was also quite worried, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to try it by himself." Please also ask for your Majesty's permission. ”

Jiang Lige was not calm when he saw Jiang Ao mixed in, put down the wine glass, got up and hugged his fists and said, "The last general is willing to give it a try." ”

Chu Tianshuo also immediately said: "Zhenbei Hou and General Lige are the pillars of the country, how can they risk their lives?" Father, let's come here. ”

Emperor Jianwen said majestically: "Okay, don't talk about it, I have made up my mind, it's just a small durian, where is it worth your so-like success!" After speaking, I saw Emperor Jianwen stuffed it in his mouth, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, lest something happen to Emperor Jianwen, they all stared at Emperor Jianwen. Feng Nishang was also a little unsure in her heart, after all, she had only seen the travelogue and didn't know if it was true or not.

Suddenly, Emperor Jianwen wrinkled his face, and everyone chuckled in their hearts, and the Beifeng envoy was even more uneasy.

Jiang Ao hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, how are you?" Don't scare the ministers. ”

Empress Ning also panicked and said, "Go and pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Emperor Jianwen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm fine." ”

Empress Ning was still worried: "Then why do you have this expression?" ”

Emperor Jianwen sighed with satisfaction: "It's so delicious!" Divide it quickly, and you will try it too. ”

But everyone couldn't rob the emperor, and they all said: "The ministers don't dare." ”

Emperor Jianwen misunderstood, and said angrily: "What don't you dare? Isn't it okay for me to eat it? Stop talking nonsense, try it all. ”

Hearing this, what else can everyone say? The durian was divided into small portions, and everyone carefully put it in their mouths, and for a while some people were happy and some were worried, such as Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who stood up and said, "It's so delicious!" For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince complained in his heart that his father had a unique taste, and he thought this thing was delicious? still flattered: "It's really delicious, and people won't want to leave." Such words against his will are all bitter tears.
