Qi Ning pondered, the Beitang Feng was over, and the hatred returned to the seat, but everyone naturally did not applaud, so if it was to mock the Beitang Feng, Dongqi was a small country after all, and it was not good to be the enemy of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Qi Ning naturally didn't care about this, clapped his hands and smiled: "The second prince really has a good voice, if there is a chance in the future, please ask the second prince to sing a few more songs." ”

Beitang Feng clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, and just glared at Qi Ning coldly.

At this moment, seeing that Ling Huxu had already come in from outside the door, he still had a kind smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, Jinyi Hou, it's really rude." "When I returned to my seat, I looked calm and calm, as if I had never left the past.

Qi Ning knew that the two old men came suddenly, and they would never come over to take a casual look, there must be something, but in his heart, he didn't know what the two of them were looking for Ling Huxu.

After Ling Huxu sat down, he said with a smile: "Jinyihou, the matter of wood seems to have been resolved, and there is no difficulty in the emperor's bedroom, I thank you very much." ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly and did not speak.

Ling Huxu sighed: "There is one more thing, I will trouble you by the way today." ”

Qi Ning thought that this old man was endless, but he heard Ling Huxu say: "This matter is related to Princess Tianxiang of the Contempt Country. ”

The envoys of the two countries immediately lifted their spirits.

This time, the two sides came to Dongqi, the purpose was to marry Dongqi, and the object was Princess Tianxiang.

Qi Ning guessed in his heart that Ling Huxu set up a banquet today, and even came out with the exam questions, it should have been arranged earlier, perhaps to test the level of the envoys of the two countries, no matter what, tonight's banquet is likely to have a great relationship with marriage, and he immediately cheered up.

Prince Yu had already smiled and said, "Xiangye, is there any difficult problem for the princess?" ”

Ling Huxu clapped his hands, and saw a servant come in with a brocade plate, kneeling in the hall, Ling Huxu got up and stepped forward, lifted the yellow brocade covering it, and everyone felt that their eyes were bright, only to see that a white jade bead was placed on the brocade plate, crystal clear, under the lamplight, white as snow.

There are also people who are eunuchs, and when they see a lot of treasures, they can naturally recognize this as a very precious pearl at a glance.

Ling Huxu said with a smile: "This is the Winding Path Hidden Pearl, which is a treasure given by the emperor to Princess Tianxiang." Making a gesture, the servant first sent the brocade plate to Prince Yu, and then to Qi Ning, Qi Ning took a look, the color of this pearl is naturally impeccable, but he saw that there was a needle-sized hole on the side of the pearl, which was a little strange, Ling Huxu had explained: "Winding path and hidden pearl, as the name suggests, in this pearl, there is a small channel like hair, nine twists and turns, which can be said to be extremely rare. ”

King Yu said: "Presumably, before this pearl was made, in this jade, it was a wonder, and it was difficult for manpower to carve such a small hole." ”

"Not bad." Ling Huxu said: "This nine-curved path is made by nature, not by man. Smiling slightly, he stroked his beard and said: "Princess Tianxiang got this treasure, I like it very much, the winding path bead has the effect of driving away evil and avoiding evil, Si Tianya told the princess that if you can hang this winding path bead at the head of the bed, it will be a good omen for the princess." Sighed, said: "But no one can use the silk thread to penetrate the hidden path in the pearl, the princess is worried, how can the emperor bear it, the prime minister learned of this, invited this treasure in hand, and also wanted to think of a way, but a few days later, many methods were used, and it still could not be solved." After looking left and right, he said, "Lord Wang, Jinyi waits, but I don't know if I can help the princess solve this problem?" ”

Qi Ning was thoughtful, Prince Yu obviously knew that this issue was a matter of peace and kinship, and he also pondered, but the officials present were all talking to each other, whispering, and many people shook their heads, thinking that there were such fine holes, and there were nine twists and turns in it, it was impossible to pass the silk thread through it.

Ling Huxu stroked his beard and slowly returned to his seat, without speaking, and there was silence in the flower hall.

Prince Yu frowned and thought hard, obviously unable to think of a way for a while, Ling Huxu glanced at Qi Ning, saw Qi Ning's brows stretched, and asked with a smile: "Jinyi Hou didn't think of a way?" ”

Qi Ning arched his hand and said: "Xiangye, I don't know if it will be successful, but ...... You can give it a try. ”

Ling Huxu immediately said: "As long as there is a way, you can give it a try." This is already very difficult, Jinyihou, what can you do? ”

Qi Ning said: "Xiangye, can you help me find an ant?" ”

"Ants?" Everyone looked at each other, thinking that what the hell was going to be done to find ants at this time, Ling Huxu obviously didn't come back to his senses, but he still ordered the human: "Find a few ants." ”

Qi Ning said: "There is naturally honey in Xiangye's mansion, can you let someone take a small bowl of honey?" ”

Ling Huxu immediately sent someone to fetch honey, most of the people present couldn't understand Qi Ning's intentions at all, Prince Yu groaned slightly, seemed to understand something, and sighed: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming, Jin Yi is young and intelligent, and his mind is quick, which is indeed admirable." ”

Everyone heard Prince Yu say this, and knew that Prince Yu had understood what was going on, and looked at each other.

It didn't take long for the honey to come over first, but Qi Ning had already picked up the winding path bead and looked at it carefully, there was a small hole on both sides of the winding path bead, which was naturally the exit and entrance, but it was a nine-winding winding path in the middle, not a straight one, he took a closer look, and at this time someone had already caught a few ants over.

Qi Ning dipped his fingertips in a little honey, gently smeared it on the edge of a hole, and asked people to tie it to the ant with a silk thread, the ant is small, naturally it is necessary to be careful, everyone is silent, quietly looking at Qi Ning, Qi Ning put the honey-coated winding path bead on the brocade plate, and then used his fingertips to pick up the ant tied by the thin thread, put it on the other end of the orifice, and gently guide the ant into the fine hole.

At this moment, Ling Huxu and Prince Yu couldn't help but come forward, and many officials on the side also surrounded them, staring at the winding path and the pearl.

After a long time, I heard a man shouting, "Come out, come out.......!" Everyone could see clearly that the ant had really come out of the honey-coated outlet, and it had silk threads tied around it, and naturally brought the silk threads out, and many people could not help but show joy, and some people gave thumbs up and admired.

Beitang Feng also involuntarily leaned to the side to watch, saw the ant coming out with silk threads, and heard many people praise Qi Ning, and couldn't help but whisper: "Carving insect skills." But he didn't dare to speak out loud, so as not to be heard by Qi Ning, but he also understood in his heart that this seemed simple, but if he wanted to come up with this method, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it in his life.

Ling Huxu exclaimed: "Jinyihou, if you are really smart, if you don't have extraordinary talent, you would never have thought of it." ”

In fact, at the beginning, many Eastern Qi officials saw that the envoy of Chu State was so young, and thought that Qi Ningzhi was sent here because of the identity of Jinyi Hou, but at this moment, they all knew that it was obviously not a random decision for Chu State to send this young little marquis to serve as an envoy to Eastern Qi.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" Everyone was admiring themselves, and suddenly heard a voice outside, only to see three people coming in from outside the door, two guards on the left and right, and a general priest in the middle came in with a holy decree, Ling Huxu and Dongqi officials immediately came forward, Ling Huxu stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and other Dongqi officials also knelt on the ground, Yu Wang Ye and Qi Ning glanced at each other, both of them were not ministers of Dongqi, so naturally they would not kneel to the holy decree of the monarch of Dongqi, but they still stepped forward and bowed slightly, which was regarded as an expression of respect.

The general secretary glanced at it, then looked at Ling Huxu, but asked in a very respectful voice: "Xiangye, are the envoys of the Northern Han and Southern Chu both here?" ”

Ling Huxu immediately said: "Gonggong Chen, the prince of Northern Han Yu and the Southern Chu Jinyi are all guests here. ”

The general secretary nodded with a smile, and then opened the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the envoys of the Han and Chu countries come to my Daqi, and the good of the three kingdoms is also the blessing of the world, I am very pleased, and the minister of the state ordered the fox to come to the court tomorrow morning, and lead the envoys of the two countries to the pilgrimage. ”

Ling Huxu said in a loud voice: "The old minister obeys the order!" After receiving the holy decree with both hands, the general affairs were said goodbye and left, Ling Huxu turned around and said with a smile: "There are many political affairs in the DPRK and China in the past few days, and this is the emperor summoned in advance." ”

Qi Ning was slightly relieved when he heard that he would be summoned early tomorrow morning, he was originally worried that because of King Taishan's rebellion, he would have to wait for several days to enter the Hajj to meet the monarch of Eastern Qi, but now he was relieved.

Prince Yu said: "Xiangye, since your emperor summons you tomorrow, it should not be too late tonight, I will leave first and go back to prepare." ”

Ling Huxu nodded and said, "That's fine." Lord Wang, don't be surprised if you don't entertain well. ”

"Where to speak, where to speak." Prince Yu said with a smile: "After entering the Hajj, if Xiang Ye has free time, we will get drunk again." ”

Ling Huxu laughed and said, "Lord Wang, let's settle first." ”

As soon as they came out of the flower hall, Gong Tashi had already stepped forward and saluted Ling Huxu with his hands together, and Ling Huxu said: "Master, don't be anxious, we will do our best in this matter." ”

"Thank you!" Gong Tashi didn't talk nonsense, said goodbye and left.

When Qi Ning saw that Prince Yu was leaving, he was about to step forward to say goodbye, but Ling Huxu said softly: "Little Hou Ye will wait a moment." The other officials knew that it was useless to stay longer, so they all got up and said goodbye, and Ling Huxu sent everyone out, so he came over and said to Qi Ning: "Little Marquis, please move and speak." Leading the way, he took Qi Ning to a small elegant hall on the edge of the flower hall, and asked people to serve tea again.

"Little Marquis, Mr. Zhuo Qingyang Zhuo has always been good?" After sitting down, Ling Huxu asked straight to the point: "I heard that the little marquis has a deep friendship with Qionglin Academy, and the Jinghua Book Club is the substitute for Qionglin Academy. ”
