The emperor broke the contract again today

Chapter 12
She can bump into a prince when she goes out casually. Should she say that she is lucky?
Yun Xiyan walked over excitedly, raised her face and said enthusiastically, "Thank you for your help that day."

Ye Haoqing obviously didn't expect to meet her again here, and said with a smile, "It's easy."

"Have you guys finished talking about the old days? Can we start?" Gnar looked at Yun Xiyan, who was holding a long talk, and said with a grim expression.

"Didn't your parents teach you that it's very impolite to interrupt someone's chat?" Yun Xiyan gave Gnar a dissatisfied look.

Gnar was a noble person since he was a child, when someone said that, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and he was about to step forward to teach this girl a lesson.

Ye Haoqing took a step forward, stood in front of Yun Xiyan calmly, raised his eyebrows and said to Gnar, "Prince Gnar, you can come up with a question."

Can't let this little girl ruin his big business, Gnar snorted coldly, then turned and pointed to the thing on the tray and said, "This is a kind of scale. When the weights on both sides are the same, it can maintain balance. Now I Let me show you these boxes one by one, and each box weighs the same."

There were a total of nine boxes, each of which weighed the same. He took out a red bean and put it in one of the boxes, and quickly disordered the order of the boxes. There was no difference in the appearance of the nine boxes. Ye Haoqing said, "We can only weigh it three times. Find out the box containing the red beans, and it should be within ten."

Yun Xiyan hid behind Ye Haoqing and leaned over to watch. It really was a balance. For a modern person like her, this question was a disguise, but for an ancient person who had never seen a balance, she had to think about it within ten seconds. It's simply impossible to find a way.Gnar is really despicable. For such a simple question, what the ancients lacked is only time and the understanding of measuring instruments.

To her surprise, Ye Haoqing didn't hesitate at all, and directly stepped forward and placed four boxes on each side of the scale, leaving one box unattended. It was a coincidence that the eight boxes were firmly placed on both sides. Balanced, the pointer on the balance is pointing to the center.

Yun Xiyan clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "Sure enough, she is a good character, even God will help her, and she can tell it in one go."

He rushed forward, picked up the remaining box, opened it casually, took out the red beans in the box, handed it to Nar, and joked, "Red beans are grown in the southern country, and a few branches will come out in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick. Please put away such an interesting thing, Prince."

Ye Haoqing saw that Yun Xiyan was leaning back and forth with a smile that had no image at all, so she pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile.

The emperor smiled happily at the seat of honor, and suppressed his smile and coughed, "Miss Yun, don't digress when answering the question, Prince Nar can ask the next question."

Gnar was so angry that he wanted to step forward and tear Yun Xiyan's glib little mouth. After hearing what the emperor said, he could only endure it for the time being.

The third question, Gnar took out a fist-sized multicolored glass bottle from his arms, the mouth of the bottle was only as thick as a finger, but inside it could clearly see a jade pendant carved from sapphire, and asked everyone to find a way to get the jade pendant Take it out of the bottle.

Yun Xiyan sneered disdainfully, he dared to bring up this kind of children's problem to embarrass others, he just took advantage of people's reluctance to give up treasures.Seeing Ye Haoqing who was also raising his eyebrows and smiling, he knew that he had already figured out the solution, so he reached out his hand playfully and made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "This bottle is expensive, and the little girl is ashamed in her pocket. This question is still for the Third Prince." It's better to answer."

Seeing Yun Xiyan's sly smile, Gnar had a bad feeling in his heart, and before he could stop it, Ye Haoqing stepped forward with a smile, took the bottle from someone else and smashed it on the ground, then Bending down gracefully, he picked up the jade pendant from the pile of glazed shards and handed it back to Gnar, "This is the jade pendant you asked for, the broken bottle, I will have someone break the silver and send it to His Royal Highness later. residence."

"No need." Gnar gritted his teeth and said, his face turned green and pale for a while, and turned around to salute the emperor, "Bei Mo is willing to admit defeat, and will pay double the tribute every year from now on."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and was about to return to the table.

"Wait." Yun Xiyan shouted.

"Miss Yun, Xiao Wang has already conceded, don't go too far." Gnar's forehead was bulging with veins, he never thought that the plan he had prepared for so long would end up in the hands of this little girl.

"Prince Gnar's words are wrong." Yun Xiyan tilted her head and smiled at him, then turned and knelt down to the emperor, "Prince Gnar gave Tian Lan a very simple question, presumably to show Bei Mo's friendship, adding more years Gong. The so-called coming and not going is indecent, in order to show my Tianlan's great country demeanor, the little girl has also prepared three questions to ask His Highness, please allow the little girl to ask the questions."

Father Yun jumped up and said angrily, "Presumptuous, you are lucky to answer two questions correctly, how dare you be so ignorant, it's a veteran who can't teach a daughter, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yun Xiyan turned a blind eye to Father Yun's anger, Gnar's actions today must have angered the emperor.That being the case, why not take the opportunity to teach that Gnar a lesson, give the emperor a favor, and why not do something that is beneficial but harmless, such as finding the emperor as a backer.

Sure enough, the emperor smiled and said, "Ling Ai is smart and well-organized, Yun Aiqing taught her well, what's wrong with her, I allow you to ask questions."

Gnar stepped forward with a sneer and said, "The next questions all have prizes, and Miss Yun's three questions must also have prizes to be considered fair."

Yun Xiyan pursed her lips, this Gnar thought he was smart, but he gave himself a chance to break off the engagement with Ye Haoyu, and turned his head to look at the emperor, "Xiyan is just a little girl, how can she be worth the tribute of Beimo?" Items. It’s just that since the prince said he wanted a lottery, it’s better to use the rewards that the emperor owed to the women as the lottery. If Prince Nar can answer, those rewards will belong to him. a request."

"Oh? If you have any request, let me hear it first. I can't give you Tianlan Jiangshan if you want me?" The emperor glanced at Gnar with a smile, as if mocking his overreach.

At this moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Yun Xiyan, with appreciation, curiosity, and envy. Of course, it was more of the jealousy from the many female relatives below. All the well-dressed women were overshadowed, Yun Chulan hated Yun Xiyan even more, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be strangled.

Ye Haoyu squinted at Yun Xiyan in the center of the hall. Although the clothes were plain and simple, the unique styles highlighted her agility. Coupled with her radiant expression, her whole person was radiant.

Sensing all kinds of eyes around the hall constantly sizing her up wantonly, Yun Xiyan trembled, and said with a dry smile, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and Xiyan guarantees that it will not hinder the country."

Everyone understood, and looked at the fourth prince meaningfully. Yun Xiyan's forehead dropped a black line, turned her head to meet Shangye Haoyu's deeply probing gaze, gritted her teeth and stared back angrily, look, look, what are you looking at, never seen Beauty, don't think that I'm still afraid of you. I'll solve your problem with the emperor after Prince Beimo is dealt with.

The emperor had a panoramic view of the interaction between the two of them from above, but he didn't show anything on his face, while Ye Haoqing's eyes flickered, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gnar's eyes sank, and he said to the emperor, "Those gold, silver and jewels belong to Miss Yun no matter whether I answer them or not. However, if I answer all three questions, I implore the emperor to bestow this daughter on my foreign ministers." The side concubine can also enhance the friendship between the two countries, and let Tianlan culture prosper in our country."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Father Yun knelt down in front of the hall. Although he didn't like this daughter, but Beimo's wolfish ambitions, if the Yun family was involved, the Yun family would be affected if the two countries fought in the future.

"Your Majesty, my sister is reckless, please forgive me." Yun Chuchen also hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy. He wanted Seventh Sister to find a good son-in-law at today's palace banquet, but Prince Beimo was by no means included. Li Yi, the northern desert is a place of bitter cold, how could he let his sister suffer in the past.

Gnar stood proudly, "Master Yun, Xiao Wang is the dignified prince of Beimo. No matter how powerful you are, you are still just a courtier. Don't you think it's Xiao Wang who can't climb up to your daughter?"

Yun Xiyan sneered, she didn't expect Gnar to make such a request, it's no wonder she humiliated herself, "You can't answer, so why not agree to you."

Then he looked at the emperor in a blink of an eye, "I'm just a little girl, your majesty, you can agree to him. You can say that I, Tian Lan, are stingy, but although a commoner's daughter is a woman and child, she is insignificant, but what she says and does at this time and place is related to the state. Prince Nar has not answered any of the three questions, if Bei Mo wants to bow his head to Tianlan for the rest of his life, pay tribute every year, and withdraw hundreds of miles from the border, Prince Nar should stay in Tianlan Capital as a hostage."

As soon as Yun Xiyan finished speaking, Gnar's murderous aura came over his face, hum, you asked for it, Yun Xiyan glared at him angrily, and said sharply, "Why, don't you dare?"

"Nie Zi, hurry up and kneel down." Father Yun trembled angrily, and Yun Chuchen also hurriedly gave her a wink.

"Your Majesty, when my father sent me here this time, he intended to promote the marriage between the two countries. To show my sincerity, if this marriage can be facilitated, Bei Mo promises that within ten years, all the tribes in Mobei will be united, and no soldiers will be spared." One pawn will disturb Tianlan's northern border again." Gnar said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden gasp in the hall.

Yun Xiyan's face changed drastically when she heard this. Having said this, it is no longer a question of suppressing Gnar's arrogance. Political marriage is the most important means for ancient countries to establish diplomatic relations. Gnar's provocation disgusted the emperor, so the conditions he proposed now will undoubtedly change the emperor's mind again.

But at this moment, Father Yun could only keep his mouth shut and dared not say anything more when national interests were involved. Yun Chuchen regretted it very much. If he didn't bring Seventh Sister to the palace banquet, he wouldn't let her fall into such a trap. desperate situation.

The emperor remained silent, and kept looking down to play with the jade pendant in his hand, making it impossible to understand what was going on in his heart.
