Chapter 346: To Answer or Not to Answer?
"Childe, be careful, the one in the red robe is the Prince Zongzan of Tubo, and the one wearing the green robe is Murong Fu of Gusu Yanziwu, who is known as Murong in the South and Qiao Feng in the North, these two are your fierce rivals, you must guard against them!" The old monk whispered in Tang Ning's ear.
After listening to the old monk's words, Tang Ning looked up, and suddenly sighed secretly in his heart, this is the famous Murong Fu, and I don't know if his cousin Wang Yuyan was hit by him to lose confidence, it is estimated that he replaced Duan Yu this time, so they should not have a chance to fall into the well, right?
Just when Tang Ning was thinking nonsense, a eunuch came and led Tang Ning to the head of the west seat, and the head of the east seat was Prince Zongzan from Tubo, these two seats are different from other positions, both are covered with brocade, obviously, this is because both of them are princes, so they are given preferential treatment, and the rest of the more than 100 young men who have been recruited are on the east and west sides.
Murong Fu happened to be Tang Ning's start, so before the banquet officially started, he asked him curiously, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" ”
Tang Ning immediately replied: "Dali Duan Ning, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" ”
"In Xiagu Su Yanziwu Murong Fu, eh, I don't know Duan Yu and Brother Duan?"
"That's in my brother!"
"It turned out to be the prince of Dali, who was rude, but it seems that I have never heard of the prince's name before!"
"Oh, I have been lost before I went down, and I just recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors recently, so it's normal that Brother Murong hasn't heard of it!"
Just when the two were chatting, everyone had already taken their seats, so the general on duty shouted: "The guests are here, close the door!" ”
Then the two doors were slowly closed, and the two teams of chamberlains slowly walked out from the inner hall with a guard of honor, and the old monk whispered in Tang Ning's ear: "This is the emperor of Western Xia is coming out, remember not to be rude!" ”
Sure enough, one of the attendants shouted: "Long live the car, welcome!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all bowed down, and the waiter shouted again: "Flat! Only then did he raise his head, only to see that at this time there was already a child in a dragon robe sitting on the throne, Tang Ning knew that this was Li Qianshun, who was only eleven years old this year, although he was not very old, but he had a graceful bearing, and at first glance he was the appearance of a Ming monarch. (This is different from the original text, and I think it is better to follow the historical facts.) )
At this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing beside the emperor, held the holy decree and said loudly: "Fatian Yingdao, Guangsheng Shenwu, and the Emperor of Western Xia said: All the monarchs have been summoned from afar, and I am very comforted, and I have a special decree to give wine, and I admire this!" ”
Everyone bowed and thanked again, and the little emperor's wine glass was sticky to his lips, and he made a gesture, and then left his seat and turned to the inner hall.
Everyone was a little stunned when they saw that the emperor left without saying a word or drinking a sip of wine, but fortunately, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites greeted: "Please have a meal, and then the princess will take the school exam herself." ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't say much, so they ate a little hastily, and then a palace maid came out to greet them: "Please come with me, and the rest of the family guards please go to the Ningxiang Hall to rest with tea." ”
At this time, the old monk once again attached to Tang Ning's ear and admonished: "Childe, you will have to face it alone, you must be cautious and take care!" ”
The palace maid led everyone to a large hall, and then pointed to a screen and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Her Royal Highness the princess is behind the screen, but if you want to meet, you need to answer the princess's three questions, and if the answer satisfies the princess, you can meet you." ”
Hearing this, Tang Ning immediately understood, this is the three questions that Meng Gu chose Xuzhu, but today because he replaced Duan Yu, Xuzhu didn't come over, so wouldn't your fanfare be in vain.
Tang Ning knew what was going on, but others didn't know, a rough man asked impatiently: "I don't know what the princess wants to ask?" ”
"Oh? This son, you have to answer first? The palace maid asked without answering.
"I'll answer first, I'll answer first!" The rough man replied disapprehantly.
"I don't know this son's surname?"
"It is different under the surname bag, the bag!"
"Oh, then dare to ask Bao Gongzi, where is the happiest place in your life?" The palace maid asked the first question.
Bao Wei thought for a moment, and then replied: "It was in the porcelain shop where I was an apprentice when I was a child, and the shopkeeper of that house was always very mean to me, and one day I was so angry that I smashed everything in the shop in one go. How's that, girl, am I right? ”
The palace maid pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, the princess has to decide, now I ask the second question, what is the name of the person Bao Gongzi loves most in his life?" ”
"The bag is not beautiful!" Bao Wei replied without hesitation.
The palace maid continued to ask: "The third question is what is the appearance of the person Bao Gongzi loves the most?" ”
"She looks exactly like me, because she's my daughter!" As soon as Bao Wei's words fell, everyone present laughed.
The next answer was the Tibetan prince Zongzan, because he had time to think, so his answer was a lot more clever, and his answer to the first question was, "I think the happiest place to be at ease must be the night in the cave with the princess!" The second question "The person I love the most is naturally Princess Yinchuan!" The third question is "Although I haven't seen the princess yet, I think the princess must be a beautiful country and a fairy!" ”
Although Prince Zongzan's answer was a bit tricky, this was indeed the thought of many people present, so the answers of many people next were similar to him, only when it came to Murong Fu, it may be that he was looking back on his life, and he had been working hard for the great cause of recovering the country, and he couldn't think of any happy and carefree memories, so he had to shake his head and sigh: "This happiest and carefree day must be in the future, not the past!" ”
"Then who is the person Murong Gongzi loves the most in his life?" The palace maid asked.
Murong Fu shook his head again and said, "I haven't met my favorite person for the time being!" ”
"In that case, the third question doesn't need to be asked." The palace maid speculated.
Murong Fu nodded and replied, "That's right, maybe you can only answer this question after you meet the princess next." ”
Finally, when they arrived at Tangning, the palace maid asked again: "Dare to ask where the prince is the happiest in his life?" ”
To be honest, Tang Ning was very hesitant about these three questions, because he knew the answers to these three questions, and in his heart he really wanted to try to answer them and see Princess Yinchuan's reaction, but he was a little worried that he was not doing it a little too authentically?
PS: Do you say that Downing will answer or not?
