Chapter 493: Challenge
Xiaobao saw An An challenging him, of course, he replied in an unconvinced tone:
"It's better, it's bigger, it's bigger, huh?"
He pondered there for a while, and then continued: "It's better to be like this, whoever loses is a puppy, and you have to learn to bark a puppy." ”
After An An's eyes blinked slyly a few times, she raised her head arrogantly,
"Okay, then it's a word, whoever loses learns to bark, and whoever cheats is a puppy."
Seeing that the two children were deadlocked here, Luo Lan hurriedly comforted softly:
"An An, Xiaobao is younger than you, you have to let him."
Leng Xi sat there frowning, and said coldly unconvinced:
"Age, it doesn't mean how knowledge, since the two children have the heart to compare, then compare, just to cheer up today's lunch, and let the father see if you have real talent and learning, don't just talk big there."
"I didn't say big things, I will, Xiaobao won't be, Xiaobao won't, I will."
"You brag, my father said that I will definitely become the smartest and most knowledgeable person in Daning Kingdom in the future, you are just a girl, you will get married sooner or later, what's the use of being knowledgeable?"
"What's wrong with the girl? My mother said that Hua Mulan can serve in the army for her father, and Mu Guiying can also be in command on the battlefield, they are all girls, and I can be as heroic as them! ”
"Alright, don't argue anymore."
When the emperor saw that the two children were arguing endlessly, he immediately frowned with displeasure,
"I don't stop eating, what kind of body does it become."
Seeing that the emperor had spoken, Concubine Li pursed her lips there, raised her handkerchief and wiped her fingers lightly, raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully:
"An An, girls still have to be quiet, otherwise they won't be able to marry in the future."
An An pursed her mouth, rolled her eyes in displeasure, and pouted:
"It's Xiaobao who is too flamboyant, why don't you talk about him? Do you have to bite me off as a girl? Where am I not quiet? ”
Her retortive words made Concubine Li's face instantly pale, and Lele, who was sitting on the side, blinked her eyes and muttered:
"An An, you can't talk to adults like this, because you are a child, even if you are right, others will think that you are impolite, you can't see Xiaobao public, you can use the knowledge you have learned to convince him, instead of blindly arguing here, it's better to do this, you can try to chant poetry!"
As soon as Lele's words came out, Concubine Li's face became even more ugly, the words spoken by such a young child were prickly, and she couldn't talk to him yet, which really made her feel dumb eating yellow lotus, and she couldn't say it.
Leng Yu, who had been silent, cleared his throat and said:
"An An, if you have the ability to win others, you can challenge it, if you can't, don't be reckless, there are many times, the person who fights is the most incapable person."
An An looked at Leng Yu and said in a serious way:
"Dad, I don't want to challenge others, I just can't get used to seeing some people like to brag and be arrogant."
Seeing An An say this, Xiao Bao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly blushed with displeasure, and roared angrily:
"Who do you think is bragging? Don't you want to compare, compare and compare, whoever loses not only learns to bark, but also learns to crawl, how about it? ”
An An also stared at him with his hands on his hips unconvinced, "Okay, then it's a word, whoever loses learns to bark is a puppy." ”
The amusement between these two children made the emperor interested, and he waved his hand with interest.
"Okay, since you have this Yaxing, let's use the couplet to compete, and I will be the referee, how about it?"
Seeing this, An An and Xiaobao bowed together and saluted:
"There's Grandpa Lao."
After seeing the emperor nod, An An was the first to speak:
"Then let my dad come out of Shanglian, let's two pairs."
Xiaobao stared at him with wide eyes and looked at him unconvinced,
"No, if you want my father to come out of Shanglian, let's be right, whoever answers first, and who has to be neat and smooth, will win."
Anannu raised his nose and raised his eyebrows disdainfully,
"Okay, then there will be Grandpa Laohuang."
The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, nodded his head, and muttered secretly for a while.
"Spring is full of people, and there are bursts of joy."
Xiaobao was the first to raise his hand and replied:
"Blessings, beaming with joy."
"Okay."
Concubine Li was the first to smile and clap her palms happily, and Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao's faces were also filled with pride.
An An looked at him with disdain, "It's just one right, what's there to be happy about." ”
The emperor fixed his expression and continued:
"Thousands of purples and thousands of reds, a hundred flowers blooming."
This time, An An preemptively replied:
"Three rivers and four seas, five grains are abundant."
"Okay."
This time, together with several girls from Yuwang's Mansion, they all clapped their hands, Luo Lan looked at An An and smiled lightly at her, and Leng Yu's face also had a gentle smile.
After glaring at An An secretly, Xiaobao twisted his face to the emperor and waited for him to come out with the next couplet.
After a while, the two of them each played three couplets and made a draw.
The emperor looked at the two of them, waved his hand and said:
"These two children are now comparable, and if they continue to compare like this, I'm afraid there will be no result, it's better like this, now let King Xi and Lord Yu each come up with a couplet, let each other's children answer, whoever answers quickly and neatly, even if you win, Yu'er, you come first."
Hearing this, Leng Yu thought for a while with a solemn face, and then slowly spoke:
"Shanglian, pine, bamboo, bells, chimes, sound freely;"
The couplet he came out made Xiaobao's face suddenly darken, and the place fell into silence for a while.
He racked his brains and meditated, but he still couldn't think of how to answer.
An An, who was looking at him with schadenfreude, showed a smug smile, and asked with a cold snort:
"How? Can't answer, right? Do you want me to tell you? ”
Xiaobao's face had become pale because he was in a hurry, Leng Xi frowned anxiously, and Yu Qiaoqiao took the handkerchief in his hand and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Luo Lan and Leng Yu were not surprised or happy, they were not happy because Xiaobao couldn't answer, but sat there calmly and waited.
Time passed little by little, Xiaobao was already so anxious that he was about to cry, An An looked at him proudly, and said sneeringly:
"How? Can't answer, right? You still claim to be learned, and you ...... shame."
"You ......"
Xiao Bao looked at her with a red face, although he was not convinced, but because he couldn't answer, he bowed his head and admitted defeat.
Seeing this, the emperor looked directly at the other children, waved his hand and said:
"This couplet is indeed a bit difficult, and it is reasonable that Xiaobao can't answer it, since this is the case, don't be stiff here, which of you will answer?"
Huaiyu raised his hand and said with a serious face:
"Back to the emperor's grandfather, I am right: the mountains, the water, the smoke, the color is empty."
As soon as he said this, everyone present was quiet, and after a while, the emperor slowly spoke, and kept praising him:
"Well, that's good, that's good!"
Xiaobao pouted there, raised his eyebrows in disbelief, and said:
"He's your father, you already know the answer, and it's not good to be able to answer."
