Chapter 164: Nine-Tailed Phoenix Hairpin

Feng Zhiche breathed a little, and a little chill appeared on his back, what did Nine Emperor Uncle mean by this? Didn't you see through your own thoughts? But even if he saw through it, he couldn't figure it out.

The corners of Feng Jiuqing's mouth hooked a dangerous arc, but he didn't explain his words, and tasted the wine by himself, if anyone paid attention to him, he would know that the corner of his eyes always glanced at someone on the field.

Although Feng Zhiche was inexplicable, he still didn't want to upset the Nine Emperor Uncles, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Nine Emperor Uncles, do you think that Miss Bai can solve the puzzle?" ”

Feng Jiuqing smiled slightly, her eyes looked at Bai Mujian, she was dressed in red, standing quietly on the field, holding a rope in her hand, her eyes were like a torch, and her beautiful face gradually changed from nervous to calm, and then to the joy of inspiration.

Feng Jiuqing didn't answer, but said, "Just look at it!" ”

Feng Zhiche saw that the Nine Emperor Uncles didn't seem to be willing to mention Miss Bai more, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the Nine Emperor Uncles were interested in that Miss Bai, he might have stepped aside.

After listening to this, Feng Zhiche also waited for Bai Muhibiscus to reveal the secret with a smile, thinking of her wit and talent for the pair before, it was really pleasing to the eye.

Chen Guifei finally couldn't help it, and anxiously urged: "Miss Bai, time is running out!" ”

Now that the nervous person has been replaced by Chen Guifei, the queen seems much calmer, although Bai Mujin will lose face if she can't solve it, but seeing that Chen Guifei will lose more, she is not in a hurry.

Bai Hibiscus did not disappoint, she suddenly smiled and said, "Princess, I have the answer!" ”

Princess Goryeo looked at her in disbelief, impossible, this kind of question, how could Bai Mu Hibiscus come up with an answer in such a short time? She didn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it.

Princess Goryeo smiled a little uncomfortably and asked, "Is Miss Bai sure?" If you get it wrong, you won't have a chance! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, princess, can I demonstrate it in person?" ”

Princess Goryeo bit her lower lip, still unwilling to face the facts, but Bai Mujian wanted to try, she naturally couldn't stop it, so she could only say: "Yes!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus said to the queen: "Can you trouble the queen's mother to ask two people to help the courtiers?" ”

The queen naturally won't refuse, after all, if she loses, she won't want her face, although she wants to see Chen Guifei deflated, but she is not in a hurry, and said to her palace maid very generously: "Dusk snow, morning frost, you go and help Miss Bai!" ”

"Yes, sis!" The two palace maids replied in unison, and the movements of the salute were uniform.

Bai Muhibiscus thanked the queen, and said to the two palace maids: "Two sisters, please bring the candle and let the queen help me light the fire at the same time!" ”

Under Hibiscus's arrangement, Twilight and Chenbing set fire to both ends of a rope at the same time, and at the same time, Hibiscus set fire to one end of another rope.

The princess of Goryeo was dumbfounded, for she finally understood that Bai Hibiscus had solved the puzzle and that she knew how to measure the length of a quarter of an hour.

After Bai Mujian finished all this, he explained: "When this rope is burned, I will extinguish the other rope at the same time, because it takes an hour for this whole rope to be burned, I will burn both ends of the rope at the same time, and it will only be half an hour after burning, and the remaining part of the rope that only one end is lit, and it can continue to burn for half an hour, and I will burn the remaining ends of the rope at the same time, and the time it will be burned is exactly a quarter of an hour, is the princess still satisfied with my answer?" ”

Princess Goryeo's face turned a little pale, and she took half a step back in a daze, as if she was shocked by Bai Hibiscus's answer, she opened her mouth slightly, and only after a long time did she say embarrassedly: "Miss Bai...... It's really smart, let Hongu admire! ”

After Princess Goryeo's words were finished, the queen and Concubine Chen Guifei breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the queen did not have to damage Tianyuan's prestige because of this, and Concubine Chen Guifei did not have to face Princess Goryeo begging to marry her son.

Bai Muhibiscus also pretended to be relieved, knelt on the ground, and said to the queen: "The courtiers are fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

The queen nodded, and said with a smile: "You are very good, worthy of being the noble daughter of my Tianyuan family, this palace wants to reward you heavily, night rain, take the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin of this palace, and give it to Miss Bai!" ”

The night rain went away, but the queen's reward shocked the concubines present, and they all looked at the queen in disbelief, it was the queen's favorite phoenix, which was given by the emperor during the ceremony.

It was a symbol of the queen's status, and she wanted to give it to a little girl, this kind of reward was too much, and I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse!

Bai Mu Hibiscus naturally knew through the reactions of those concubines that the queen's reward could not be easily asked, so when Ye Yu took out the phoenix hairpin in the brocade box, Bai Mu Hibiscus immediately said in fear: "The queen is very loved, and the courtiers should not refuse, but this hairpin is too precious, and the courtiers dare not accept it, and the courtiers are not yet in time, so it is not suitable to wear the golden hairpin!" ”

The queen looked at Bai Mujian's eyes, which seemed to have a deep meaning, but it was incomprehensible, and continued: "It's okay, just when you are in time, I will add you to the pipe!" ”

When everyone heard it, although they felt that it was too grand, there was not much wrong with it in the end, it was the queen's phoenix, who she rewarded it to, after all, it had nothing to do with others.

Only Chen Guifei's eyes flashed slightly, and then she smiled: "Niangniang is really generous, this phoenix hairpin is not ordinary, the nine-tailed is a symbol of the queen's identity, it doesn't seem appropriate to reward a girl with no grade in this way, right?" ”

The queen has always been at odds with Chen Guifei, this is a well-known thing in the palace, who let the queen win because of the successive sponsorship, but the holy favor of the year, Chen Guifei is second to none in the palace, and it is always favored until now.

When the queen heard Chen Guifei's words, she smiled at her, but the smile never reached the bottom of her eyes, and said: "Sister Guifei, Miss Bai saved face for me Tianyuan and repeatedly solved the riddle of Princess Gaoli, am I reluctant to do this little phoenix?" ”

Chen Guifei was a little sneering, in the end, what the queen rewarded, it had nothing to do with her, but as soon as the queen made a move, it was a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, which seemed nothing on the surface, but she knew the queen's personality best, and would never do such a meaningless thing, there must be something wrong with the meaning of the phoenix hairpin, anyway, she was unwilling to obey the queen's wishes.

Bai Mu Hibiscus also felt that the queen gave this phoenix hairpin to herself at this time, not just because she wanted to reward herself, if she just wanted to reward her, why should she take this phoenix hairpin that symbolizes the queen's identity, she could reward her with gold, silver jewelry, silk and satin, even if there was more, she would accept it all, and never shirk.

But now this little phoenix hairpin, not only is it not helpful to her, but it will also cause any trouble, the phoenix hairpin is given by the queen, but she can't wear it, she can only pay tribute at home, which is completely meaningless to her at present.

But the queen must be rewarded, how should she refuse, this is not someone else, say reward you, you can also excuse not to, that is the queen, even if you want to die, you have to be grateful.

Bai Mujin was embarrassed, but he heard Feng Jiuqing's voice over there, as if he was a little careless: "Niangniang, according to my brother's humble opinion, it is better to reward a phoenix hairpin than to reward some gold, and it is not bad to reward some silk and satin that my daughter's family likes!" ”

The queen was stunned, but she didn't expect that at this time, King Xuan, who had never been upright, actually spoke, but she couldn't help but listen to King Xuan's words, who let the only person who knew the meaning of Feng Hai be King Xuan!

If he doesn't agree, it means that the emperor can't get by, if the emperor doesn't agree, even if he rewards Feng Hai, it's a white reward, others don't know, but she knows Feng Jiuqing's influence on the emperor.

The queen was very depressed, but she couldn't offend Feng Jiuqing, who seemed to be idle, but in fact had always been the object of everyone's friendship, so she had to smile and said: "Look at me, I was happy for a while, I didn't expect that this phoenix hairpin is really not as good as gold and silver jewelry for Miss Bai, so, then reward one hundred taels of gold, ten horses of Shu brocade, five horses of Yanluo, a pair of jade Ruyi, six East Pearls, a set of red gold head noodles, a pair of dragon and phoenix double happiness, a pair of enamel vases, do you see that you are still satisfied?" ”

Listening to the reward reported by the queen, Bai Mujin only felt a little in a trance, this will be her first property, although it is not much, but it is enough for her.

She hurriedly thanked and happily accepted the queen's reward, Chen Guifei was also very happy, it seemed that the queen's intentions had been perceived by King Xuan, and a few words stopped the queen's willful will.

There was probably only Princess Goryeo in the audience, who was still in a trance, and her three puzzles were all solved, and she lost very completely, and now she was afraid that her purpose of coming to Tianyuan would not be achieved, and it was impossible for Emperor Tianyuan to agree to marry any of his princes who had the opportunity to inherit the unification, let alone the very favored six princes.

It's a pity that no one noticed her, and the appearance of Bai Mu Hibiscus completely broke the arrogance of Princess Goryeo, because such a young girl who had not yet reached the end of her life defeated a battle that she had carefully prepared without much effort.

Bai Muhibiscus, who returned with a full load, sat back in his place with a smile, and Lu Feiyuan, who was watching, was overjoyed, and hurriedly took advantage of the fire to rob and said: "Jin'er, you have made a fortune, but remember to invite me to a big meal in Yipinju!" ”

Bai Mujin did not hide his happiness at all, and said generously: "That's nature, you are indispensable!" ”

Bai Yunxi listened, his heart was sour as if he had drunk a jar of vinegar, today Bai Mujian is in the limelight, it doesn't take a day of effort, the intelligence and talent of the eldest daughter of the Bai family will spread throughout the capital, and where will the Bai family still have their own foothold at that time.

But now that the wood is in the boat, it seems that it can't be recovered, unless Bai Muhibiscus has an accident when he shows his talent later, then he can't say that he still has a chance, but...... Bai Yunxi was very embarrassed, she didn't know what Bai Mu Hibiscus was going to perform.

Bai Yunxi said flatteringly: "Sister, I will also invite Xi'er, or Xi'er will give the second puzzle to my sister!" ”

Although Bai Yunxi's tone was a joke, Lu Feiyuan and Bai Mujin knew that she really thought so, which shows that people are kind-hearted to a certain extent, and they can be invincible in the world.

Bai Mu Hibiscus said nonchalantly: "If my sister is interested, she can naturally go with her!" ”

Bai Yunxi pretended to be very happy and clapped her hands, and asked with a tentative purpose: "Sister, I'm going to dance while painting later, Xi'er has been practicing for a long time, I don't know what good program my sister has prepared?" ”

Bai Mujian only smiled and said nothing, but Lu Feiyuan stabbed: "You just have to perform your performance with peace of mind, no matter what Jin'er does, it will be useless for you to say it!" ”

Bai Yunxi glared at Lu Feiyuan angrily, but said sourly: "Is my sister afraid of my deception?" Are we sisters in the end, how can we guard against our sister like a thief? ”
