Chapter 434: Riddles
"Okay, okay, it's boring to just ask someone." Princess An Ning nodded again and again, and looked over with pitiful eyes.
Qianyuan nodded, "Okay, then Xu Aiqing will come up with the question, and those who answer can get my reward, especially you young talents, who are unmarried and unmarried, but you have to seize this opportunity." ”
As soon as these words came out, those who had a sweetheart set their eyes on their sweetheart, and if they didn't, they lowered their eyebrows and thought hard about what reward to get.
Xu Ziqiao cleared his throat, "Then please listen, the first question, the beginning is difficult, don't be anxious, type a word." ”
This kind of orthodox question, of course, for many smart people to know the answer at that time, such as Tang Junyi or Lin Huiru, they have no interest in being in the limelight, and they don't care what kind of reward they can get.
What's more, at this time, it is better to demolish a temple than destroy a marriage.
"I see! It's Hinata! "I don't know whose son it is, so far Lin Huiru hasn't recognized their appearance clearly, if there is any banquet or something, she must not be able to recognize any of them.
"That's right." Xu Ziqiao nodded.
Qianyuan gestured at the word in the palm of his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I see that you are also at the age of marriage, do you want to ask me for a marriage, or do you want me to say goodbye." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, as a courtier, I still want to start a business first and then start a family, Your Majesty has a grace in hand, which is excellent." These sons of the family, all of them have been very sweet since they were children, and Qianyuan's heart was full of joy when he said this, and he rewarded a set of royal books with a wave of his hand.
Although Lin Huiru didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about, he had his own advantages, and he couldn't interfere with others.
Although this kind of guessing puzzle is a little unpopular, it is more lively than dry drinking, especially some juniors, who love this kind of excitement, but this quiet situation was quickly broken.
"Rabbit eyes are as short as bean rat claws, guess a word." Xu Ziqiao took a sip of tea and opened his mouth thoughtfully, thinking that he couldn't keep letting the emperor break the bank, so he increased the difficulty.
Lin Huiru was stunned for a moment, and didn't come up with an answer for a while, Princess An Ning shook her arm beside her, "What is it this time, it's not fun to change the question of Lord Xu, everyone is very boring, come, let's play ours, or Sister Xiaoru, your topic is interesting." ”
Xu Ziqiao's ears were sharp, and he was a little helpless when he heard Princess An Ning say this, who let him come to the rescue.
"I don't know this time, no one should be able to answer." After all, it has been quiet here for most of the day, but as soon as Lin Huiru finished speaking, he felt a little slapped in the face.
"It's an incubation word." Looking for prestige, that person turned out to be the prince of a small country.
Lin Huiru still has a little impression of this person, his country is second only to this country, so the location is also good.
"Congratulations, that's right." Xu Ziqiao nodded, and Qianyuan also looked over.
"It's the prince of Anguo, the prince is smart, I don't know what grace the prince wants from me?" Although Qianyuan is asking, but in this case, there is an unspoken rule that needless to say that everyone should know, that is, you must not make excessive demands.
Either ask for marriage, or let Qianyuan give it himself.
"The minister has admired the princess of your country for a long time, and today I saw that she was really smart and clever, the minister is the only prince of the country, and I am willing to give the princess the position of the only wife, and the minister wants to marry Her Royal Highness the princess of your country, and please fulfill your majesty." As soon as Prince Anguo said that, Princess An Ning was stupid.
She looked at it in a daze, although the prince of Anguo looked okay, she couldn't tell his knowledge and character just by guessing a riddle, it was better than marrying a person with mediocre qualifications than marrying someone who didn't know him.
What's more, Anguo is thousands of miles away from here, and it is estimated that it will take several months to go back and forth.
Qianyuan squinted, and his face quickly became pale, for Anguo, although it is second only to his country, but Anguo's military and material resources and business are far inferior, and letting Princess Anning marry her is almost equivalent to suffering and suffering.
And...... He didn't want to.
"I never planned to do the marriage of the lord Tangtang, as my only precious daughter, she has the right to choose who she likes. Even if it is the grace I promised just now, I will only grant marriage with the consent of both parties, and whether this marriage is agreed or not depends on Tang Tang himself. Qianyuan couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but with the queen's face, the two of them must be very reluctant.
"Can the princess give her minister a chance to show her sincerity?" Prince Anguo turned his head and asked.
Princess An Ning shook her head, "I'm sorry for Your Highness, I just want to be by my father's side and Queen Mother in my life, and I don't have the intention of marrying far away, so please ask Your Highness to give up this wish." ”
She politely refused, but the prince of Anguo still chased after her, "Your Royal Highness Princess, please think about it again, we are willing to come up with the most generous dowry and give you the best with the grandest wedding, At the same time, we will also present more tribute to show our sincerity." ”
In fact, the only advantage of Anguo is the geographical location, his place occupies a commercial shortcut, plus the geographical location is not bad, some agricultural and sideline products are quite rich, and there are a lot of trade contacts. But using these things to increase the size is even more materialized Princess Anning, which will not impress Qianyuan, but will only make Qianyuan feel that this is something that he has exchanged for his daughter.
Princess An Ning gritted her teeth, "Please give it up, the person I like has nothing to do with rich or poor, as a princess, I naturally won't be short of that bit of pomp, the important thing is that person's heart for me, everything else is secondary." The prince can't give me what I want. ”
"Prince Anguo, you also heard it, since Tang Tang didn't mean this, you can also exchange it for individual graces." Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he worked desperately to expand the country and territory, what is the purpose of strengthening the people and the army, that is, to be able to make the affiliated countries respect him, and to be able to exchange peace without letting his daughter's happiness be exchanged.
Lin Huiru can be said to agree with this approach, although the emperor is not in place, but the role of this father will definitely have a huge impact on Princess An Ning, and the daughter raised in this way will definitely not be captured by some insincere people because of some small favors and small tricks, so that she will be hurt all over her body.
Prince Anguo still doesn't want to die, but when he left, he said cruel words to get the princess back to improve his status, and now Princess An Ning said that he would not marry, which made him very faceless.
