Shui Ningyan saw that Huang Fuhao on the dragon chair had been silently pondering, and knew in her heart that if she didn't want to find a way to deal with it, Huang Fuhao might have to sell her for the benefit of Dongli Kingdom. At that moment, she racked her brains and thought about it, but she didn't expect that she really came up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, the King of Nanyue and Prince Situ are both good neighbors and friends of our Dongli Kingdom, and it is a blessing for the courtiers to be able to look at the courtiers. However, the courtiers have always had a criterion for choosing a husband in their hearts. I wonder if the emperor can agree to let the courtiers choose for themselves? ”

Huangfu Hao groaned slightly, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, just according to what you say." However, the King of Nanyue and Prince Situ are both VIPs of the Dongli Kingdom, so you must treat them equally, and there must be no difference between thick and thin. ”

Right now, Huang Fuhao can't think of a better way. I have to say that the three cities proposed by the king of Nanyue and the prince of Situ as a dowry are really attractive, and the conditions for the two are the same, so there is not much difference between the king of Nanyue and the prince of Situ. That being the case, it is better to be a favor and let Shui Ningyan choose it himself, wouldn't everyone be happy.

"Shui Ningyan, you also missed this prince, and this prince will marry you too!" Huang Fuyu saw that Shui Ningyan didn't mention him, and immediately shouted unhappily. The water condensation smoke should not be heard.

"I don't know what Miss Shui's criteria for choosing her husband are?" Dongfang Lie stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, and said with a little curiosity.

Not only Dongfang Lie, but also Situ Shaogong, Huang Fuyu, and everyone else present were stunned. The King of Nanyue, Prince Situ, and the Prince of Huangfu are not masters, and Shui Ningyan has to choose from them, and he is almost jealous of those official daughters.

"In order to choose the best husband, everyone compares wisdom, and if anyone can win, the little woman will marry him willingly." Speaking of this, Shui Ningyan paused slightly, and continued, "I ask three questions, and if anyone can answer the correct answer first in the time of a stick of incense, it will be considered a winner." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Huang Fuyu suddenly said with a confident face, "Water condensation, although this prince is not a talented man and a rich man, but he boasts that he knows astronomy, geography, and personnel, so you can just say hello." ”

Shui Ningyan smiled faintly, her eyes gently swept over Situ Shaogong and Dongfang Lie, seeing that the eyes of the two were full of confidence, the corners of her lips quickly swept a sly arc.

These three people are all talented and have a gap in their chests, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, martial arts, medical skills, or the art of war, they may not be able to stump them, but there is one thing she thought of, that is, these three people have been rich and noble since childhood, so they may not be able to answer the questions of the three religions and nine streams.

Shui Ningyan made up her mind and said indifferently: "May I ask the three, can the little girl talk about the topic now?" ”

"Miss Shui, please speak."

"In the first question, there is a wooden stick as thick as the head and tail, how can you distinguish its roots from its tips?"

After the first question was finished, everyone present was stunned, and they thought that Shui Ningyan would ask some profound and elegant question, but when they thought about it, they felt that Shui Ningyan's question was really incomprehensible.

Shui Ningyan glanced at the three people who were frowning deeply, and the corners of her lips outlined an extremely faint arc. Then move on to the second question, "If I give you a hundred hens and a hundred chicks, how should I tell them between mother and child?" ”

Shui Ningyan paused slightly, and then said the last question, "There are a hundred cows and a hundred calves, how can we tell their mother-child relationship?" ”

When the third question was asked, everyone present was dumbfounded. Whether it is a hen and a chick together, or a cow and a calf together, they all look almost the same, can they really separate the relationship between mother and child?

"Little girl, remind the three of you, you only have time for a stick of incense." Shui Ningyan glanced at the pillar of incense that had just been lit next to him, pursed his lips and said, "The timer begins, and I hope the three of you will think carefully and don't let the little girl down." ”

When the words fell, the water condensed smoke sat down elegantly, and poured himself a drink leisurely. Situ Shaogong, Dongfang Lie, and Huang Fuyu stood there with their brows furrowed, pondering. The others were also racking their brains, but they couldn't do anything for a while. In their opinion, the question of water condensation smoke is too tricky and strange, and they even begin to wonder if there is an answer to the question of water condensation, whether it is nonsense.

At this moment, Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo stared at Shui Ningyan's eyes, full of jealousy and anger. The two of them once took great pains to amaze the four at today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, but in the end, they were robbed of the limelight by water condensation. Now even such excellent men as Nanyue Kingdom, Prince Situ and Prince Huangfu have fallen under the pomegranate skirt of Shui Ningyan, and Shui Ningyan has to pick and choose, which makes the two of them so jealous that they feel as if there are countless cat's claws scratching in their hearts.

At this time, Huang Fuchen poured wine one after another. The fiancée who was once regarded as dust by him has now doubled in price, and the man who wants to marry her is about to break his head, but he hates that he has eyes and does not know gold and jade, and mistakenly takes the pearl as dark dust, and he will no longer be able to do it with her in the future, at this moment his heart seems to be hollowed out, empty, and his mind is constantly echoing the picture of the woman dancing on the stage.

Time flies, and the time for a stick of incense will soon arrive. Shui Ningyan's eyes turned slightly, glanced at Situ Shaogong, Dongfang Lie, and Huang Fuyu respectively, pursed his lips and said with a light smile: "The time has come, I wonder if the three of you already have an answer?" ”

As soon as Shui Ningyan's words fell, Huangfu Yu frowned and said angrily: "Shui Ningyan, I said that you deliberately made things difficult for the prince, how can people answer such a tricky and strange question!" ”

Shui Ningyan smiled dumbly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am willing to lose the bet." Sister is naturally deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, Shui Ningyan silently added this sentence in her heart.

"I wonder if the king of Nanyue has an answer?" Shui Ningyan hooked his lips and smiled.

Which of these three people is not easy to mess with, in terms of martial arts, identity, and power, she may be invincible, but sometimes she learns to do things with her brain, and she can definitely win the battle beautifully.

"This king is willing to gamble and lose." Dongfang Liexin took it seriously.

Shui Ningyan's eyes turned to Situ Shaogong's body, and said with a smile: "What about Prince Situ?" ”

Situ Shaogong pondered for a moment and replied, "The answer to the first question is to throw this wooden stick into the lake. The sinking end is the root of the tree, and the floating end is the treetop. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present were stunned at first, and randomly kept exclaiming. Although the sticks are the same thickness at the top and bottom, the weight of the roots must be heavier than the weight of the treetops, and if they are placed in the water, they will sink one end into the water and float the other end in the water.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly realized, and the gaze cast at Situ Shaogong immediately turned into worship, and they were completely impressed by Situ Shaogong's wisdom.

Shui Ningyan didn't expect Situ Shaogong to answer, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said with a little apprehension: "Congratulations to Situ Gongzi for answering the question correctly." Ask Prince Situ to answer the next two questions. ”

Situ Shaogong's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Miss Shui, the prince really can't think of the last two questions, and I hope that Miss Shui can solve his doubts." ”

Hearing this, the heart that was originally hanging in his throat was put back in its place. Fortunately, Situ Shaogong didn't know the answers to the next two questions, which meant that she could marry Situ Shaogong without being at the mercy of others.

As soon as I thought of this, Shui Ningyan was in a good mood. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said eloquently: "In fact, it is very simple to separate the mother-child relationship between hens and chicks. Just a handful of lees and sprinkle evenly on the ground. You will see pairs of chickens pecking together. Under the neck, it is the chick that pecks in a panic, and the other is the hen. The relationship between mother and child can naturally be clearly distinguished. If anyone doesn't believe it, they can go back to the house and ask someone to verify it. ”

"I really didn't expect such a magical thing, the little girl finally has a long insight this time!"

"I didn't expect Miss Shui to be so well-informed!"

"Well, when I go home, I must do what Miss Shui says, it sounds very interesting."

……

After everyone talked and discussed for a while, Shui Ningyan continued to speak: "As for the mother-child relationship between the cow and the calf, you can first tie the calf to another place, so that they do not see the cow's face, and do not give grass or water to drink all night. Early in the morning of the second big day, the calves were put in front of a herd of cows, and each of them was so hungry and thirsty that they went to their mothers to feed. In this way, their mother-child relationship was found out at once. ”

"Wow, Miss Shui is really ice and snow smart, you can think of such a method!"

"No, not only is she as beautiful as a fairy, she is amazingly talented, but she is also so smart, she is simply my idol!"

"That's right, I really don't know who made those unbearable rumors that slandered Miss Shui before, it's just too hateful!"

"Miss Shui deserves to be the first talented woman in our Dongli Kingdom!"

……

Listening to those words of praise, there was no expression on his face that was as smoky as jade. In fact, she doesn't really care whether her reputation is good or bad. What made her happy was that she dissolved the marriage contract with Huang Fuchen, and asked Dongfang Lie, Situ Shaogong and Huang Fuyu to entangle and restore her free body.

"Miss Shui, according to the previous regulations, this prince did not answer all your questions, so this prince was convinced." The corners of Situ Shaogong's lips lifted slightly, and he immediately said, "But please remember that this prince will never give up his pursuit of you." ”

Shui Ningyan heard this, and his smile suddenly stiffened at the corner of his lips. She raised her eyes and glared at Situ Shaogong viciously. Situ Shaogong smiled back with his doting gentleness.

Dongfang Lie and Huang Fuyu saw the eye contact between the two in their eyes, and their brows tightened. What Situ Shaogong said just now is what the two of them think in their hearts. Whether you can catch up with this woman depends on your ability.
