Compared with Chechen's arrogance, the fifth princess was very well-behaved, she saluted Emperor Xiaojing according to the etiquette, and said: "Tana sees the Great Zhou Emperor, may the Great Zhou Emperor be blessed and live a long life." ”

Her voice was as sweet as a yellow warbler out of the valley, and it sounded like drinking honey, and even Emperor Xiaojing couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Emperor Xiaojing bowed his head, raised his hand and shouted, "The fifth princess is quite polite. ”

The corners of Chechen's mouth gathered a touch of condensation, his thick eyebrows furled, he clapped his hands three times, and called: "Someone is coming." ”

Then two attendants each stepped forward with a brocade box, and Chechen raised his eyebrows, and said: "My father occasionally got a treasure, which is worth a lot of money, and this time the prince brought it as a gift to the Emperor of the Great Zhou." ”

Emperor Xiaojing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then thank you to the emperor of your country." Emperor Xiaojing raised his face towards Chang En and asked him to pick it up.

It's just that before Chang En could touch it, he was stopped by Chechen, "Wait a minute." ”

Chang En was slightly stunned, not knowing what he meant, and turned his head to look at Emperor Xiaojing. Emperor Xiaojing also frowned, and listened to Chechen's words: "Su asked the great Zhou people to be outstanding and spiritual, and there are many resourceful people, so today Chechen is brave and wants to come up with a difficult problem to verify it." ”

He smiled confidently and proudly, his eyebrows fluttering, as if no one had solved this problem, "Although the two attendants on the left and the right both hold brocade boxes in their hands, in fact, only one of them is a real gift. ”

With his hands behind his back, he circled around the two attendants, "These two people, one only tells the truth, the other only tells lies, the one who tells the truth is holding a real gift, and the one who tells a lie is holding an empty box, you can only ask one question to one of them, and then pick a box, of course it is good to pick it, if you can't pick it......"

Chechen paused, smiled contemptuously, and continued: "That can only show that the saying that the Great Zhou can produce people is just a rumor, and that's it. ”

Chechen was humiliated, and Emperor Xiaojing was uneasy, but he was powerless to refute.

Chechen didn't know how to restrain himself, regardless of Emperor Xiaojing's face, he looked around at everyone, "I wonder if anyone can solve the problem of this prince?"

The ministers whispered, all shaking their heads and not knowing, although there was a half chance, but in case it was wrong, it would lose Da Zhou's face.

Seeing that no one answered, Chechen was even more complacent, "No one will answer such a simple question, it turns out that rumors are just rumors, and this prince is almost gullible." ”

Emperor Xiaojing's chest caught fire, and he swept over the people on the table one by one, bowing his head and saying silently everywhere he looked.

Suddenly, there was a delicate laughter from the banquet, and everyone looked over, but they saw that Princess Chu's cheeks were full of flowers, and she was full of smiles.

Chechen's smug smile was put away instantly, he looked at her suspiciously, saw her sitting next to the King of Chu, guessed in his heart that it was for the Princess of Chu, and said, "Why is the Princess of Chu laughing?"

Rong Zhao raised his face and said: "I'm laughing at you, if you want to verify, you should come up with some questions that are a little difficult, such a simple question, no wonder my ministers in Dazhou are unwilling to answer, even if they answer, it is an insult to IQ." ”

Chechen narrowed his eyes slightly, a wisp of chill condensed in his eyes, snorted disdainfully, and said in a deep voice: "Is the question too simple, or is it that no one in Da Zhou has answered at all?"

Xiao Junjue secretly tugged Rong Zhao's clothes, glanced at her, and secretly told her not to be too reckless.

Rong Zhao smiled at him, full of confidence, and then said, "Why doesn't anyone answer? ”

Emperor Xiaojing was overjoyed and said, "Zhaozhao can have a countermeasure?"

Rong Zhao bowed his head, got up and walked between the two waiters. Everyone's eyes looked at her, holding their breath to see how Princess Chu cracked it.

Seeing Rong Zhao's easy and confident steps, he glanced at Che Chen, and after thinking about it again, he asked one of them, pointed to the other, and asked, "You say, if I asked him if he had any gifts in his box, what would he answer me?"

The attendant replied, "Yes." ”

Xiao Junjue's heart was relieved, and she looked at Rong Zhao with a dispensable smile on the corner of her mouth. This girl was really relieved by her.

Rong Zhao smiled, did not hesitate to take away the brocade box in his hand, the other people's hearts were tight, holding their breath quickly, Emperor Xiaojing was also nervous, both hands clenched into fists, I don't know if Rong Zhao took it right, I saw Rong Zhao open the brocade box, inside is a night pearl bigger than a fist, shining, it is indeed a priceless thing.

Emperor Xiaojing exhaled slightly, the gift is not important at all, even if it is a thing in the city, he doesn't care about it, the important thing is face.

Emperor Xiaojing smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao has won my heart, since this night pearl was unraveled by you, I will reward it to you." ”

Che Chen's expression was condensed, and he said, "How did you decide?"

Rong Zhao laughed and said: "It's not simple, if he says the truth, then the other one must be false, I ask him if the other person will tell me if there is one, and he will definitely say yes." On the contrary, if he says a lie, then his answer must be no. Since he said yes, then what he said is the truth, and he is the real gift in his hand. ”

She was arrogant and faintly proud, "Such a simple question, the third prince is embarrassed to be used as an exam question, do you underestimate our Da Zhou people, or do you mean that the third prince himself has limited ability?"

"You—" Chechen gritted his teeth.

Rong Zhao smiled smugly, patted the top of the brocade box, and said with his eyebrows flying: "Thank you." Then he returned to his seat regardless of Chechen's face.

Chechen was angry, but Emperor Xiaojing was very satisfied with this, and after inviting him to sit down, he drank a few cups in a row, and even enjoyed himself.

Chechen changed his uninhibited attitude when he first came in, and after three glasses, he still didn't smile.

During the banquet, in order to help Yaxing, several ministers and ladies performed on stage, and even Princess Tana invited herself to dance. Dongliang's dance is different from Da Zhou, it is more unrestrained and fiery, and Tana's dance won full applause. Princess Tana of Metropolis is not only sweet in her voice, but also so graceful and colorful in dancing.

When Tana stepped down, no one was on top for a while, Jewel was in front, and the performance after her would only be inferior.

This gave Chechen a chance to fight back against Rong Zhao, he looked at Rong Zhao and said: "Princess Chu is very talented, why not perform one or two, so that this prince can also appreciate the demeanor of the women of the Great Zhou." ”

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Versatile? Rong Zhao was drinking sweet wine, and suddenly choked on his throat and almost squirted.

Chechen saw Rong Zhao's weak heart, and he was interested, and he wanted to take a good look at her, "Princess Chu doesn't have the talent to get her hands on?

Rong Zhao dodged his gaze and glared at him, he was even more sure, and said, "How is Princess Chu's piano skills?" Rong Zhao was silent, his voice raised slightly, "Where is the chess skills?" Rong Zhao shrunk his neck, and the lines at the corners of his mouth gradually deepened, "How about calligraphy and painting?"

There was silence at the banquet, and everyone's focus was on Rong Zhao. Rong Zhao withstood everyone's gaze and leaned closer to Xiao Junjue's side.

At this time, she really regretted why she didn't learn to be a talented girl before, and she wouldn't be embarrassed in public.

Chechen suddenly sneered: "It seems that Princess Chu is not able to understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is this called not learning and not knowing?"

Chechen's words were ugly, but the laughter of those who watched Rong Zhao's jokes was even more piercing.

Especially Princess Qinghe, she laughed the loudest. Qinghe glanced at Rong Zhao, gloated, and said to Chechen: "The third prince may not know, the princess of Chu has always pursued the principle that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, if you want to see her fight and fight, it is okay, and it is really difficult to let her do such elegant things as fuqin and painting." ”

During the banquet, Qinghe kept looking at Chechen, and the flattering eyes were eager to stick to Chechen. At this time, I seized the opportunity to speak, of course, following his heart, hoping to attract his attention.

But Chechen didn't buy her account, glanced at her coldly, and said unceremoniously: "Who are you? ”

Qinghe has always been arrogant, and Chechen embarrassed her in public, and she was angry, but this woman is also strange, just because she saw the three princes of Dongliang, she led her resentment to Rong Zhao, and nailed her with hatred.

She raised her chin and said, "This palace is Princess Qinghe." ”

Chechen wasn't interested in knowing what her name was, but Qinghe volunteered to post it, "It's better to let the palace stroke a pipa to add a bit of elegance to everyone here." ”

She was very active, and directly asked people to prepare the pipa, and played it in the center of the main hall. A pair of phoenix eyes sent affection, and looked at Chechen unabashedly.

Chechen originally intended to embarrass Rong Zhao, but was interrupted by Qinghe's flattery, Rong Zhao took a long breath, and really had to thank Qinghe, otherwise the three princes of Dongliang would not know when to embarrass her.

However, through this incident, she secretly made up her mind that she must study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well, and never let this kind of public scandal happen again.

Thinking that she is beautiful and beautiful, it is really not a matter if she has no talent that can be mastered.

Xiao Junjue saw her fanning a pair of big eyes, biting her lip in contemplation, her face was gloomy, she shook her hand, and whispered: "Entertaining people with art is not in line with your identity." ”

Being held by him, Rong Zhao's heart was happy, he raised his eyes to look at him, nodded, and the smile on his lips couldn't be held like honey overflowing.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was slightly drunk, and Emperor Xiaojing specially invited everyone to go out of the palace to watch the fireworks.

This time the fireworks are very special, there are several rows of fireworks on the edge of the roundabout, put in the sky like the Milky Way, like a waterfall, and the mountains and seas are sprinkled down from the night sky, Ambilight, brilliant sea of stars.

Rong Zhao likes to watch fireworks, and she is even more amazed by the dazzling fireworks tonight, she dragged Xiao Junjue excitedly, with a happy smile on her face, "Look at it, it's so beautiful, it's so beautiful." ”

The woman under the fireworks is like a pearl, beautiful and shining, she admires the fireworks in an instant, but she can't see that she is more gorgeous than the fireworks.

Xiao Junjue looked at her stupidly, and there was a momentary loss of consciousness, and at that moment he couldn't take his eyes off, and he didn't even want to take them away. He couldn't help but say a word, but Rong Zhao didn't hear it, and the sound of fireworks overshadowed his voice, "Yes, it's beautiful." ”
