Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 119;

Emperor Zhaowu, who originally wanted to scold him, swallowed his scolding words after hearing what the parties involved said.

At this time, Huo Junyao turned to look at Princess Qinghe and said, "Cousin Qinghe, you can also join. If you can match the second couplet, how about I lose?"

"it is good."

Princess Qinghe quickly agreed, because she didn't believe that she couldn't win back the victory.

"However, do we have to set a time limit? We can't keep going like this, right?"

"How about a stick of incense?"

"If you can't fight within a stick of incense, I will win. If you can fight, how about I lose?"

The two nodded at the same time.

"But you can't be absolute, you have to be right yourself."

"It's natural."

Huo Junyao smiled and nodded, then returned to the seat where she had just been sitting, picked up the pen again, brushed a few dots, and wrote five big characters.

"This is my first couplet, please."

As she finished speaking, Fang Zhilan and Princess Ningyang quickly came forward to take a look.

Seeing that there were only five short words, Princess Ningyang immediately said, "Yao Yao, why don't you write a few more words?"

According to common knowledge, the more words there are in couplets, the more complex they are, and the more difficult it is to correct them, including overlapping words, splitting words, etc.

However, Huo Junyao actually only wrote five characters. Princess Ningyang's first reaction was that this thing was too simple.

Fang Zhilan, who was on the side, discovered the clues hidden inside after looking at it for a while.

Then she stared at Huo Junyao very strangely. At this time, she probably wanted to pry open the future sister-in-law's head to see what was inside.

How could you come up with such an exquisite first couplet?

"Bring it up, I'll take a look."

Emperor Zhaowu was also very curious about what kind of couplet Huo Junyao had written.

Gao Fu quickly stepped forward, picked up the paper, and sent it to Emperor Zhaowu.

When he first saw this couplet, Emperor Zhaowu felt the same as Princess Ningyang, but when he took a closer look, he gasped.

Queen Shen beside her also had her eyes widened. If you look carefully, you can see that her pupils are trembling.

The two of them turned to look at Huo Junyao almost at the same time.

This niece is really outrageous.

"Okay, you two can take it."

"Gaofu timing."

Zhao Yaner and Princess Qinghe quickly came together, and others also curiously came over to take a look.

In just a moment, the first couplet spread in Chengde Hall.

"Yansuo Pondliu?"

"There are only five words. Isn't that too simple?"

Almost at the first glance, people felt that the first couplet was too simple, with only five words.

But there are also capable people who quickly discovered the mystery behind these five words.

"You think it's easy?"

"Look carefully at the radicals of these five characters."

After being reminded like this, the next moment, gasps of cold air could be heard in Chengde Hall.

"Fire, metal, water, earth and wood? These are the five elements?"

Everyone understood at this moment how outrageous these five words were.

Everyone is brainstorming together to think about the next line.

Even Huo Jingzhi and Huo Jinyan are thinking about the second line.

"Tsk, Yaoyao, what did you think of this couplet? It's too fantastic, isn't it?"

After getting the hint, Princess Ningyang was also extremely surprised and pulled Huo Junyao to ask.Originally, she thought it was too simple with only five words, but now it seems that it is not simple at all. At least when she thought about it just now, she didn't think of how to deal with this second line.

"Just thinking about it."

Just kidding, she is someone who has a world with thousands of years of heritage and is standing on the shoulders of giants.

Those Chinese ancestors who played with words were not afraid of anyone.

Looking at Princess Qinghe and Zhao Yaner again, I have already discovered the subtlety and outrageousness of this first couplet. Although it is the coldest of winter, there is already a layer of fine cold sweat on their smooth foreheads.

This couplet was really too tricky. They thought a lot about it but couldn't get it right.

Time passed like this little by little, not only the two of them did not expect it, but others in Chengde Hall also did not expect it.

A stick of incense arrived soon.

"Your Majesty, the time has come."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu came to his senses and turned to look at Princess Qinghe and Zhao Yan'er, who were sweating profusely and looking pale.

"The time has come, do you have the second line?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and gave a weak smile.

Then they all turned around and shook their heads at Emperor Zhaowu.

"What do you mean, you gave up?"

The two looked at each other again, full of unwillingness, but there was nothing they could do.

"I don't believe you can handle such a couplet."

Zhao Yaner turned to look at Huo Junyao, making a final struggle. As long as Huo Junyao couldn't forgive, then they would not lose.

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

Huo Junyao picked up the pen again and wrote fifteen large characters on a piece of paper.

That's right, fifteen.

"Peach burning Jinjiang embankment."

"Cannon Zhenhai Castle Tower."

"Ink stains the spiritual spring."

As Fang Zhilan read out the fifteen words, the entire Chengde Hall fell into deathly silence again.

There are so many of them, but I didn’t expect that there would be three of them in one second line. Do you dare to be outrageous?
After hearing these three second lines, Princess Qinghe and Zhao Yaner both staggered back two steps in despair, with disbelief on their faces.

"Not convinced? How about I give you another chance?"

Huo Junyao smiled lightly and continued to speak. Without waiting for the other party to answer, she directly wrote seven more characters.

"Lonely and cold window empty widow."

Fang Zhilan read it out very cooperatively.

"It's still a stick of incense, please."

I didn't want to target them at first, but in the end, the two of them were like dog-skin plaster, insisting on sticking it on without showing anything. Do you really think she is easy to bully?

As the mystery of this first couplet was revealed, everyone gasped again.

Do you dare to be a little more subtle?
At this moment, those who usually pride themselves on being masters of pairs were severely beaten.

This is simply not a match that anyone can think of, is it?
Emperor Zhaowu and Empress Shen, who were at the head, looked at Zhao Yan'er, who was stunned by the shock, and shook their heads.

"Zhaode, please step back."

They are not on the same level, so why should we continue?
"Yes, my daughter-in-law is leaving."

After Huo Junyao finished speaking, the eldest princess Ningyang also stood up. After saluting the emperor, she also left him. Fang Zhilan also left together.

After leaving the Chengde Hall, Fang Zhilan took Huo Junyao's hand and said excitedly, "Yaoyao, you are really amazing."

"I used to think that I was a talented woman, but today I realized that I am just a frog in the well."

The eldest princess Ningyang next to her was as proud as the female general who had won the battle.

To relieve her anger, today was so refreshing. After today, she wanted to see who dared to underestimate her Yaoyao.
