The princess doesn't talk much

Chapter 200 Let's compare?

When the words were not spoken, everyone in the hall couldn't help sighing in disapproval.

How can the majestic prince choose his concubine based on his own likes and dislikes?
Even ordinary people need to be well-off, right?

I ignored the gossip of the crowd, but looked at Emperor Kangwu and said, "Your Majesty, because the girl is a commoner, she hasn't read many books since she was a child, but the girl has heard a sentence, and I would like to get it." One heart, white heads never separated, people's daughters have heard that they only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. Your Majesty is the father of His Royal Highness Qin Wang, regardless of power and status, His Majesty should most want His Highness Qin to live happily, right? If you force him to marry a woman he doesn't like, His Royal Highness Qin Wang may never be happy again in this life."

Emperor Kangwu pursed his lips tightly, and couldn't help but think of himself. He was indeed depressed for a long time when he was forced to marry by the first emperor.

Although many years later, he has already understood the painstaking efforts of the late emperor.

But every time I think of my depressing days, I can't help but feel uncomfortable.

It goes without saying that he doesn't want Lan Xi to suffer, but as the king of a country, he can't just seek happiness.

He couldn't, and Ye Wuming, whom he regarded as the crown prince, naturally couldn't either.

And look at yourself now, the empress is virtuous and generous, the concubine Yue Gui is charming and lovely, there is nothing wrong with being a good wife and concubine, isn't it?

Emperor Kang Wu shook his head in disapproval, and was not persuaded by the words, but he did not argue with the words.

Shangguan Ling'er frowned and said, "Miss Yan, just now you said that you can't serve the king with color for long, but now you are relying on the fact that His Highness King Qin likes your face?"

Without saying a word, he looked at Princess Zining and said, "But I'm not an Israeli servant. When Brother Nine saw me, my face was still disfigured!"

Shangguan Ling'er frowned, feeling that she was messing around.

Without saying a word, he continued: "The reason why you are so confident in asking my ninth brother to marry you is because you think you are better than me in every way?"

Shangguan Ling'er raised his chin slightly, and that look clearly said "Of course."

Without saying a word, he sneered and said, "Then do you dare to compete with me to see if I am worthless or do you think too highly of yourself?"

Ok?
As soon as the words came out, everyone became interested, even Emperor Kang Wu raised his eyebrows and looked at Shangguan Ling'er.

Shangguan Ling'er frowned and said, "Compared to what?"

Without saying a word, he said: "It's not more important than anything. The important thing is that the loser is not allowed to pester His Royal Highness Qin Wang anymore. The marriage of men and women has nothing to do with it. If you win, you will naturally be Qin Wangfei."

Shangguan Ling'er immediately said, "Okay, I'll compete with you. You can do whatever you want." Shangguan Ling'er didn't think he would lose.

Without saying anything, he smiled and said: "Okay, I won't take advantage of you, just like this, one article, one martial arts, one medical skill, two wins in three rounds, what do you think?"

Shangguan Ling'er sneered and said, "Okay!"

"It's good, it's not good!" Yue Hehuan couldn't help but stood up and scolded angrily. She didn't speak just now because Concubine Yue kept giving her winks to make her calm down.

But seeing that these two hateful women are about to decide Ye Wuming's princess position, how can she keep calm.

Looking at Yue Hehuan without saying a word, he opened his mouth to invite: "Oh, I forgot Miss Yueer, would you like to have a competition with us, the three of us, how about a question each?"

Yue Hehuan said angrily: "I don't know any medical skills at all, it's not fair!"

Without saying a word, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "It is said that the Yue family lady is beautiful and intelligent, capable of both literature and martial arts. How can Miss Yueer be so unconfident? If Miss Yueer wins the previous literary and martial arts tests, then she will compete in medical skills later. You don’t need to compare. After all, it’s two wins in three games!”

How could Yue Hehuan stand up to such a provocation, and immediately said: "Compare, no one is afraid of you!" Yue Hehuan looked at Ye Wuming aggrievedly, Ye Wuming clearly treated her very well in the past, why did he come back like this this time? Indifferent.

Ye Wuming knew that Yue Hehuan was looking at him, but he didn't want to respond.

At this moment, he could only say nothing in his heart.

Although he is very confident in his ingenuity, but he may not lose a bet. This is true for them, especially for Shangguan Ling'er. If Shangguan Ling'er really wins, what should he do?

He must take countermeasures for all possible situations!

Seeing the swords drawn among the young people, the empress couldn't help asking Emperor Kangwu what he meant.

"Your Majesty, look at this..."

Emperor Kangwu looked at Ye Wuming, then snorted and said with an inexplicable meaning: "Then let's compare, but there are other girls who are willing to compete together? It's so lively!"

Ye Wuming twitched the corners of his mouth, father wanted to see his jokes.

However, other high-ranking ladies, even if they had such thoughts, would not dare to say so right now, because they could not afford to lose this man, and if they lost, their marriage would be difficult in the future.

Besides, who would dare to rob someone from Yue Hehuan.

Everyone was silent, and finally decided that there would be no words, Shangguan Ling'er and Yue Hehuan to compete.

As for the subject of the competition...

Concubine Yue Gui said: "Your Majesty, since there is a competition, it is natural that fairness should be the main priority. How about this? For the first literary test, let the words come out, and for the second military test, let Shangguan Ling'er come up with the questions." , As for the third round, let Huan'er, who has no medical skills, come out. If the two of them are asked to come up with the questions, I'm afraid Huan'er will lose the upper hand."

Emperor Kangwu nodded his head as a response.

The Thirteenth Prince and Ying Hange avoided worrying about saying nothing. It was different to deal with a Shangguan Ling'er, but also deal with a local snake Yue Hehuan.

That Yue Guifei asked Yue Hehuan to answer the third question, presumably there must be a way for her to win in the medical skill she is not good at.

Among them, there is no guarantee that there is any calculation.

The Thirteenth Prince wanted to remind him, but before he could say anything, the other side had already graciously agreed: "Okay, no problem!"

Shangguan Ling'er and Yue Hehuan also responded in unison.

That's it.

The noble concubine who sat high on the moon said with a half smile, "Since there is no problem, let's start. Let's have a good time watching the competition while having a banquet."

Emperor Kangwu patted Concubine Yue's hand affectionately, and said, "That's right, without saying anything, you come up with the first question."

Without saying a word, he said: "Respond to Your Majesty, Miss Rong Min think about it!"

Emperor Kangwu chuckled and said, "I'll give you time for a cup of tea. Come, dear friends, have a cup with me."

Seeing that Emperor Kangwu was in a good mood, the civil and military officials immediately cheered and began to exchange cups.

The thirteenth prince couldn't help but reminded, "Miss Yan, the so-called literary test is usually about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry, whichever one you choose. What are you good at?"

Without saying a word, she curled her lips, she couldn't even hold a brush well, let alone anything else.If you want to win this first level, you have to be tricky.

Ye Wuming saw that he didn't respond, and worried that she was under a lot of pressure, so he immediately held her hand and said, "Whether I win or lose, I will never marry anyone else."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to explain that she was fighting so hard not really to be Princess Qin, but just to prevent Shangguan Ling'er from being Princess Qin.

But seeing Ye Wuming's affectionate eyes, she felt a little bit unable to speak.

Sighing in his heart, he decided to explain clearly to Ye Wuming in the future, and now he will defend against foreign enemies together.

But this topic...

Without saying anything, he fell into deep thought, his eyes lit up after a while, and he said, "I want to report to Your Majesty, my daughter has thought of the topic, but I need your Majesty's help."

Emperor Kangwu looked at Yanbuzhi and smiled, and Yanbuzhi also looked at Emperor Kangwu and smiled. The old and the young gave Ye Wuming a strange feeling of two foxes looking at each other.

Emperor Kangwu asked, "Oh? What's your topic?"

Without saying a word: "I believe everyone has read the piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, poetry and songs a lot, and there is nothing new. Let's compare them with something that is not common in ordinary times. But it is among the six arts, what does your majesty think?"

Emperor Kangwu asked suspiciously: "Among the six arts, they are divided into ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and number. Which one do you want to compare?"

Without saying anything, he said with a smile: "Returning to Your Majesty, a courtier's daughter is more important than the last one!"

count?

How difficult is this?

All the people in the hall showed a bit of disappointment. They knew how to count the civil examinations, the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the lowest class of businessmen, all of them had a good calculation.

Emperor Kang Wu was also not very interested in this proposal, but the words had already been spoken just now, and this essay had to be made out of words. Now that she has made a question, he, the emperor, can't go back on what he says, can he?
Emperor Kangwu asked patiently, "How do you compare?"

Without saying a word, he said: "Compare the quick calculations to see who can calculate faster. Please ask your majesty to come up with three more difficult and complicated questions, and then the three of us will do the calculations one by one to see who is faster!"

Emperor Kang Wu curled his lips impatiently, and he glanced at Ye Wuming, his eyes clearly said, "Look at the woman you chose, she has only this level of education!"

But Ye Wuming pretended not to understand Emperor Kangwu's expression, and said directly, "Please trouble me, father, to come up with a question!"

Emperor Kangwu snorted: "Queen, come here!"

The queen smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, my concubine is here, and I will go to the Four Treasures of the Study Room."

……

After a while, the three girls went to the main hall in public, and the Four Treasures of the Study were placed in front of everyone.

To be fair, the Empress ordered the three of them to start counting together.

Wan Liu placed the topic in front of the three of them, stood in the middle and said, "Kiss the three young ladies and get ready. If the maidservant tells you to start, then you can do the math."

The three nodded in understanding.

Wanliu turned her head to look at the two emperors and empresses, and seeing them nodding, she said, "Start!"

"six!"

Wanliu has just finished speaking here, and the question has just been opened there, and she has not even picked up the writing brush yet, yet she said the answer?
Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Shangguan Ling'er and Yue Hehuan held the brushes and looked at them in shock.

The Thirteenth Prince and Ying Hange looked at this in surprise.

The empress looked at it with a wry smile, and said softly, "How about...you do the math again?" The number she just wrote would definitely not be so small.

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew it was a mistake.

There was a burst of contemptuous boos.

Without saying anything, he smiled and said: "Returning to the empress's words, the women of the people have already counted, and it is six."

Shangguan Ling'er and Yue Hehuan also saw clearly the topic on the paper at this moment.

No matter how you calculate it, it can't be six.

Yue Hehuan said without a word, and said, "Idiot!"

Without saying anything, he looked at Yue Hehuan with a smile, and asked, "Why hasn't Miss Yue Er not been counted yet?"

Yue Hehuan ignored the words and quickly started to calculate. Shangguan Ling'er also quickly picked up the pen. After about a cup of tea, Yue Hehuan wrote down the pen first and calculated a complicated number, followed by Shangguan Ling'er. pen, said the same number.

Obviously they were both right.

Concubine Yue nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, Huan'er has won."

There was no joy on Emperor Kangwu's face. Obviously, he didn't like Yue Hehuan to be the Princess of Qin. The matter was right in front of him, and it couldn't be denied, right?

The empress was worried that she would be sad if she said nothing, so she comforted her: "Don't be sad, there are two more games."

Without saying a word, she blinked and said puzzledly: "Empress, the girl has won, why should you be sad?"

Win... win?
Yue Hehuan jumped up angrily, and said angrily: "In other words, you still have to be shameless, how did you win? The first number is 89, and the rest are all added up. How can it be possible to get a six? This It's not right at all!"

Without saying anything, he shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter if it's right, just say it's fast or not!"

Everyone: "???"

The thirteenth prince came to his senses, and immediately burst out laughing to the point where he couldn't hold himself back.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Father, when Miss Yan just came up with the question, she said that she would compare speed to see who can do the calculation faster, but she didn't say to see who is right! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Yan The girl won, she really won!" The thirteenth prince was about to burst into tears, his ninth sister-in-law was not only quick at counting, but also quick at brainstorming!
Everyone: "..."

"Pfft..." The empress didn't hold back her laughter, she quickly covered her mouth.

When Emperor Kangwu saw Shangguan Ling'er and Yue Hehuan's distorted expressions, he also wanted to laugh, but when he saw that Concubine Yue's face was so dark that ink dripped out, he endured it.

Ye Wuming and You Rongyan said: "Father, words are too much."

Emperor Kangwu snorted: "Victory is not martial."

Akimbo without words, no matter whether he fights or not, she won anyway.

After holding back her laughter, the empress said to Emperor Kang Wu in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this girl is extremely smart, and Lan Xi's vision is still good."

Emperor Kangwu was not convinced and said: "Small cleverness is there, but great wisdom is not. I can't look down on her."

The empress shook her head helplessly, but she thought it was very interesting to say nothing, and she liked it very much.

Emperor Kangwu took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said coldly: "You win!"

He blinked at Ye Wuming with displeasure, that playful and lovely appearance really made Ye Wuming's heart ache, wishing he could go forward now, hug his beloved little girl, and kiss her fiercely. Fan.

Ye Wuming squeezed the palm of his hand, comforting himself secretly, don't be impatient, the future will be long.
