Chapter 154 Challenge the Prince
They all knelt down and saluted and praised the emperor. The emperor's eyes kept falling on the gifts held by the envoys, because the emperor always knew that the vassal state paid tribute every three years and would bring all kinds of strange gifts. What he cared most about was the gift from the West Desert Congress that Li Wuyou conquered three years ago.

Seeing the eager look of the emperor, the ministers reacted with black lines all over their heads. How could they have forgotten that the emperor likes those weird things the most, especially the ones sent by the vassal state that Dayan Kingdom does not have at all. Baby, and this year is the year when the vassal state pays tribute, so they have been guessing for so long.

The envoys of the vassal state didn't write any ink, and asked them all to send congratulatory gifts.

Prince Qi Ye sent the antler of the sacred deer of Nanyue Kingdom. When he finished his name, the emperor was a little disappointed, but the divine deer of Nanyue Kingdom is rare, and the antler is even more difficult to find.

But when Prince Qiye asked someone to bring in the antler covered with a red cloth, everyone stared at it, because the thing that was carried in was as tall as a person, and Prince Ziye tore off the red cloth and put When the velvet antlers were displayed, everyone at the birthday party was stunned.

Because the deer antler is so perfect, there are a total of 36 forks, and each fork is faintly glowing like a god. They can imagine how huge the deer is just by looking at the antler.

The emperor also stared wide-eyed, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked the guards to carry him to his bedroom. Prince Qiye's complexion instantly improved a lot, and he said with a hearty smile:
"Prince Qiye is interested, come and take your seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Prince Qiye's smile didn't reach his eyes, and a mocking smile was barely visible from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone looked at Prince Qiye frequently. The officials were surprised that there was such a miraculous deer in Nanyue Kingdom, but the women were attracted by Prince Qiye's handsome appearance.

But Shu Qing frowned slightly and looked at the removed 'antler', her eyes were full of doubts, because she saw that it was not antler at all, but a special color painted on the branch , glowing faintly under the sun, that deer antler is simply fake! !
At this time, Baihua Fairy also stepped forward, holding a glass bottle, and spoke in a beautiful voice:

"Hundreds of flowers in Dongling Kingdom, offer water from hundreds of flowers, and wish the emperor never grow old every year."

As soon as Baihua Fairy opened her mouth, most of the men present looked at Baihua Fairy with obsessive eyes. When Baihua Fairy opened the glass bottle stopper, she raised the mouth of the bottle with her slender hands as soft as bones. The faint fragrance spread throughout the birthday banquet. Everyone inhaled the fragrance desperately, and the whole body was shocked suddenly, and their spirits improved a lot.

And those young ladies looked at Baihua Fairy, looked at her face with hostility, and salivated at the Baihua Water in her hand, because the Baihua Water smelled really good, with a faint fragrance, not at all like fragrance. It is as pungent and strong as the sac, and it can be used by both men and women by smelling it.

The emperor Longyan was very happy, and let Baihua Fairy take the seat.

Next is Princess Saya of the West Mo Kingdom. What she brought was a harp, but it was not an ordinary harp. Both the strings and the body of the harp were made of the rarest agarwood and special minerals. It can be said that the strings are very valuable, but the most amazing thing is that even if a person who doesn't know how to play the piano can wave the strings at will, they can turn into a melodious tune, which is very magical.

Finally, there was Master Qi Feng of Beixuan Kingdom. He knelt on the ground on one knee, took out a small and cute animal like a hamster from his wide sleeve, and said:

"Beixuan Kingdom presents the spirit beast Hundred Words Beast."

As soon as Master Qi Feng opened his mouth, Shu Qing's eyes immediately looked at Master Qi Feng sharply. A picture suddenly flashed in her mind. She immediately thought of the man who was hanging out with Chu Jiangyu in the Chuhou Mansion. At that time, she did not pay attention to that man's His appearance, but his voice was always remembered. Now that he looked closely at Master Qi Feng, it was clear that he was a man who had a good relationship with Chu Jiangyu! !

When the emperor saw the yellow-brown furry animal called Baiyan Beast, he was not interested at all, but in the next second, Baiyan Beast spit out a sentence:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

In an instant, all the people at the birthday banquet looked at the Hundred Words Beast in the hands of Master Qi Feng, feeling very strange. The emperor also widened his eyes, looking very interested, and hurriedly asked the guards to bring the little pet up.

The emperor looked curious and wanted to take the little pet from the guards, but Qin Lingfeng suddenly stood up, shook his head at the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened five years ago? Your Majesty, it's better not to grab this Hundred Words Beast with your hands."

After speaking, Qin Lingfeng took the Hundred Words Beast with the emperor's regretful expression, held it in his hand, and took it to the Imperial Hospital for examination.

Five years ago, a lady in the palace raised a cute kitten. The emperor hugged it on a whim, and was bitten by the kitten, and he was immediately poisoned. In this life, it turns out that the mouth of the kitten's teeth was coated with poison.

Seeing Qin Lingfeng taking the Hundred Words Beast away, Master Qi Feng had a gloomy look in his eyes. Seeing that the emperor asked him to take the seat, he clasped his hands and sat down on the envoy's seat again with a smile.

The birthday gifts of the envoys of the vassal state became more and more rare, and the ministers who had not yet given gifts were embarrassed to hand over their own birthday gifts, but they still had to bite the bullet and give them out.

Soon, basically all the officials had finished giving gifts, and the whole birthday banquet was harmonious again. The emperor drank the toasts from the ministers from time to time.

Seeing that the situation was similar, Shu Qing was about to give out a small gift of her own. Just as she was about to get up, Fairy Baihua's sweet voice came:
"Your Majesty, I heard that there are three talented women in this capital city. They are very talented, but they have no talents. Recently, they learned the Hundred Flowers Dance. I want to ask the talented women of your country for advice. Please, Your Majesty, can satisfy this little favor of Baihua."

The emperor's eyes lit up, Fairy Baihua is calling for a fight?He nodded to the queen. The queen understood what the emperor meant and looked at Chu Yingxuan.

Chu Yingxuan, one of the three talented women, is well-known for her superb dancing skills. She was already unhappy with Baihua Fairy, who dared to challenge her. Naturally, she could not refuse the challenge. Chu Yingxuan stood up slowly Get up, bless the queen, Xian Shu said:

"My daughter also really wants to learn about the dancing skills of Baihua Fairy from Dongling Kingdom."

Fairy Baihua and Chu Yingxuan made a match, and there was an illusion that the tip of a needle was facing the wheat awn, and there seemed to be a strong fighting spirit between the two of them.

But Fairy Baihua still had a slight smile on her face and said:

"Your Majesty, please wait for a moment, Bai Hua goes to change clothes first."

Everyone was looking forward to the dance competition between the two beauties.

Shu Qing looked around the entire banquet, and it was not suitable to present a birthday present at all, so he could only look for another opportunity.

Out of the corner of the eye, he saw the red-faced Lord Chu, who was being complimented by the courtiers around him, showing a complacent expression. Shu Qing's eyes turned cold, thinking of Chu Jiangling, if it wasn't because the timing was not right, she would have thought He stood up and asked him what he thought of Chu Jiangling's sister and brother, but the emperor and the queen couldn't wait for Fairy Baihua and Chu Yingxuan's competition, so they could only wait until the envoys had finished offering their gifts to see if they could find a chance.

Soon, Baihua Fairy also changed her clothes very quickly. When she appeared again, she was wearing a pink gauze skirt with a waist, but that is not the point. The point is that there are gorgeous pieces of peach blossoms embroidered on the skirt , looks almost like a real peach blossom.

Baihua Fairy almost flew onto the stage, her skirt fluttering like petals falling, and the other supporting dancers were holding small baskets and scattering petals, which gave her the beauty of a Peach Blossom Fairy descending to earth.

In this realistic and romantic scene, Fairy Baihua could already predict that people from Dayan Kingdom would be surprised when they saw the exquisite embroidery on her dress, and they would try to find her to buy these clothes later on.

It took the best embroiderer in Dongling Kingdom three months to embroider this dress. She believed that the embroidery skills in Dayan Kingdom were mediocre, and no one could be as good as the embroiderers in their country, and Fairy Baihua's goal was to rely on this Yishang established a relationship with some daughters of Dayan Kingdom.

Fairy Baihua bowed to everyone and said:
"I hope that Your Majesty and everyone here will not have to wait too long. In order to make the Baihua dance look better, Baihua specially put on this dress embroidered by the number one embroiderer of Dongling Kingdom."

After Bai Hua finished speaking, she watched everyone's reactions from the corner of her eye, especially the women's family members, expecting that they would definitely look at her clothes in amazement.

however……

Bai Hua sneaked a look at the female relatives, and found that they were all looking at her clothes with a little disdain!

This is impossible!

Everyone has a love of beauty, but women pay the most attention to their own clothes and appearance. The clothes on her are the clothes that are highly sought after by all women in Dongling Kingdom. She has been in Dayan Kingdom for so many days. It was found that the clothes of the women of Dayan Kingdom were ordinary, and it was impossible not to be indifferent to the clothes on her body.

But the facts were in front of her eyes, Fairy Bai Hua had no idea why these female relatives had such disgusting expressions.

However, Immediately, Fairy Baihua heard the whispered discussions of the female relatives:
"The clothes embroidered by the number one embroiderer of Dongling Kingdom are nothing compared to Shu Qing's clothes."

"That's right, I don't know where this Baihua Fairy has such a big face. She said that the number one embroidered lady is not even comparable to Shu Qing's clothes."

"Dongling Kingdom doesn't have a big world, otherwise, how could it become a vassal state of our Dayan Kingdom. Therefore, their so-called No. [-] Xiuniang naturally cannot be compared with Shu Qing."

Shu Qing?

Who is this?
Fairy Baihua was startled, is this person named Shu Qing the number one embroiderer of Dayan Kingdom?
Fairy Baihua was tossing and turning in her heart, but the smile on her face was still beautiful. She didn't expect that she would make a mistake for the first time and provoke Chu Yingxuan by wearing this dress on purpose. Fan.

But she hasn't danced yet, she believes that when she finishes dancing, others will be amazed by her clothes.

Fairy Baihua nodded to the supporting dancers, waved her sleeves, and began to dance, her figure was graceful, and her skirt embroidered with peach blossoms drew a graceful arc in the air.

The dancing posture is soft at first and then firm, with peach blossom petals falling slowly and vividly. With Baihua Fairy's Baihua Dance, people are gradually fascinated, and almost forget Baihua Fairy's deliberate show off just now.

Chu Yingxuan saw Baihua Fairy's dancing skills on the stage, with a dignified expression on her face. She found that Baihua Fairy and her dancing skills were on par, but Baihua Fairy was wearing a realistic peach blossom dress, plus those real peach blossom petals As an assistant, if she wears clothes that are ready to dance, she will definitely lose.

Chu Yingxuan bit her lip, and subconsciously looked at Shu Qing...the clothes on her body.

The dance music she prepared this time needs to be matched with white clothes to have a better effect. If she can wear Shu Qing's clothes...

Chu Yingxuan thought that wearing the clothes that were more lifelike than Fairy Baihua, and even looked around her with a layer of fairy air, she would definitely be able to compare Fairy Baihua and make everyone at the banquet be impressed by her, Fifth Prince He will be more devoted to her.

Chu Yingxuan became agitated just thinking about it, she simply approached the little maid next to the queen quietly, and secretly gave the little maid some money, saying that she wanted to report something to the empress, and let Tong pass it on. .

The little maid received the ten taels of silver from Chu Yingxuan, and whispered something to the queen.

Seeing that it was Chu Yingxuan, the queen thought for a while and asked the little maid to bring her up.

Chu Yingxuan told the Queen about her thoughts and worries:

"Empress, Xuan'er's dancing skills are comparable to Fairy Baihua's, but she has clothes and peach blossoms to assist her. The clothes prepared by Xuan'er are really ordinary. If she wears the clothes prepared by Xuan'er on stage, she will probably be inferior."

The queen looked at Fairy Baihua's dance skills, and was actually worried that Chu Yingxuan would fail. After all, Chu Yingxuan's failure would be to lose the face of Dayan Kingdom. She asked suspiciously:

"Do you want me to ask Fairy Baihua to lend you the clothes?"

Chu Yingxuan hurriedly shook her head, expressing her thoughts. The Queen looked at Shu Qing. She still remembered the clothes on Shu Qing she saw in the Royal Garden. They were so beautiful that even she was a little jealous. The embroidery method unique to the Yu Kingdom is famous for its vividness. The queen thought that she could already attract so many people's attention just by wearing a pair of snow-embroidered crested shoes.

If Chu Yingxuan wore Shu Qing's clothes on the stage, she would definitely be able to completely compare with that Baihua Fairy. This is a matter of saving face for the Dayan Kingdom, although it is not appropriate for Shu Qing to take off her clothes, But compared to Dayan Kingdom's face, it was insignificant, the queen agreed after a little thought, whispered something to the palace maid, and asked her to go to Shu Qing.

Chu Yingxuan was very excited, thinking that even if Shu Qing was unwilling, she would not dare to disobey the queen's order, thanked the queen with gratitude on her face, and sneaked back to her seat.

Chu Jiangying who was next to Chu Yingxuan asked her what she was doing, but she still refused to say it mysteriously.

The emperor heard the words of the empress and Chu Yingxuan throughout the whole process. He looked at the empress several times with strange eyes, but thought of Dayan Kingdom's face, so he didn't say anything.

The little maid didn't disturb anyone, she walked to Shu Qing who was sitting in the corner, and said to Shu Qing:

"Miss Shu Qing, the Empress has an order. I hope you can lend this dress to Miss Chu Yingxuan to perform the dance. This is for the face of the Dayan Kingdom. I believe that Miss Shu Qing also understands the situation."

Before Shu Qing could make a statement, Xiao Kui and Xue'er, who were standing behind her waiting for orders, became angry. They didn't expect the queen and Chu Yingxuan to be so shameless that they wanted to let the clothes on their young lady's body.

Shu Qing glanced at Chu Yingxuan, and saw that Chu Yingxuan was smiling slightly at her, but there was a hint of complacency in her eyes, thinking that no one could see it, and the corners of Shu Qing's mouth under the veil also curled up coldly. Seeing the little palace maid, she spit out two words:

"No loan."

How can it be such a good thing that she wants to use her clothes to add points when she is not as skilled as others, and she has a more perfect figure than Chu Yingxuan. Even if Chu Yingxuan puts on her clothes, it just makes the clothes lose their original beauty Perfect, just like Chu Jiangyu, even if she wears Chu Jiangling's clothes, it's just a little extra for her, but she can't bring out the most perfect effect of the clothes at all, how could Shu Qing smash her own brand.

It wasn't because of Shu Qing's sarcasm, even if Chu Yingxuan put on her clothes, she couldn't beat Baihua Fairy. This time, Chu Yingxuan would definitely lose in the dance competition.

The little maid did not expect Shu Qing to be so straightforward, even daring to disobey the Queen's orders, she was a little surprised, and quickly walked behind the Queen with small steps, and conveyed the message in a low voice.

The queen's face immediately sank, Shu Qing even dared to refuse her words, except for the emperor, no one has ever dared to disobey her words, because all those who disobeyed her words are no longer alive!
Just as the queen was about to get angry, thunderous applause broke out at the birthday banquet. It turned out that Fairy Baihua had finished dancing perfectly. Yingxuan was originally a failure, and all the people who were challenged failed.

Fairy Baihua leaned over and said to Chu Yingxuan:
"Miss Chu, it's your turn."

Naturally, Fairy Baihua had already inquired about who the three talented women were, and she was no stranger to Chu Yingxuan.

Chu Yingxuan smiled confidently at Fairy Baihua and said:

"Please Fairy Baihua allow me to change into clothes."

After speaking, she looked at the queen, but saw that the queen's expression was not good, and she felt a thump in her heart. Could it be that Shu Qing refused to borrow it?
She hinted at the queen frequently, but when the emperor said something to the queen, the queen's face became better and she said something to the little maid, who trotted down and said to Chu Yingxuan:
"The Empress asked the slaves to tell Ms. Chu to do her best."

Chu Yingxuan couldn't believe it at all. Apart from being able to paint and embroider, what was so great about Shu Qing that she could make the queen compromise. She went to change clothes with a dazed expression.

Unable to wear Shu Qing's clothes, Chu Yingxuan could only wear the clothes she had prepared, but because she was still immersed in the idea that she would lose without Shu Qing's clothes, she finally performed abnormally and almost fell down. , can only end in embarrassment.

The fifth prince was originally very optimistic about Chu Yingxuan, but seeing Chu Yingxuan's performance this time, the expression on her face was not very good.

Everyone present was also a little embarrassed. It seemed that Fairy Baihua had won, and the female relatives all looked at Chu Yingxuan with reproachful eyes, but the queen and Chu Yingxuan gave Shu Qing a dissatisfied look, and said that this matter was also a big deal. I hate it.

The queen could only praise Fairy Baihua a few words, admitting that she has repeatedly excelled in dancing skills, and Fairy Baihua couldn't hide her confidence. Although her clothes didn't achieve the expected effect, she won glory for Dongling Kingdom once.

Compared to Baihua Fairy, everyone in Dayan Kingdom felt a little ashamed, and they couldn't even stand up for it.

At this time, Prince Ziye suddenly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, the dancing skills just now are really wonderful. Qiye also has a hand. I want to compete with the number one chess player in your country. I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

The emperor didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with Chu Yingxuan's failure, and when Qi Ye said that he wanted to challenge the number one chess player, he readily agreed.

The queen glanced at Qi Ye, and said in her heart, what the emperor said just now is indeed the truth, these vassal states are ready to move, planning to slap Dayan country in the face, although Chu Yingxuan failed, but Dayan country is full of talents, in fact these few Her defeated opponents were comparable, she looked at Qin Wan'er.

Qin Wan'er, one of the three talented women, is famous for her chess skills.

Apart from being outstanding in chess, Qin Wan'er is actually not good at other dancing skills. This is why she uses Shu Qing to embroider. She can't let her play a game of chess with the birthday star when celebrating her birthday, and show off her chess skills by defeating the other party. .

But Qin Wan'er didn't expect that Lord Qiye would give her this good opportunity to show off her chess skills. She really couldn't wish for it, so she got up slowly, and said softly while holding a weak figure:
"Then please be merciful, Prince Ziye."

In less than a cup of tea, the chessboard was already set up, and a large chessboard demonstration board was placed for everyone to see clearly.

When Qin Wan'er walked onto the stage, everyone's eyes followed her. Qin Wan'er was the prettiest person except Shu Qing, especially her delicate temperament, which could arouse a man's desire to protect.

Qin Wan'er was able to enjoy the attention of the audience again, and she felt more favorable towards Prince Qiye by two points. After Prince Qiye came on stage, the two saluted and greeted each other. Qin Wan'er showed a very soft smile on Prince Qiye. The prince's pupils shrank, and a handsome smile appeared on his face.

After the two sat down, they began to fight.

The chessboard was like a battlefield. Although the two were playing chess calmly, the people watching were extremely nervous, and even wanted to say a few words, and even jumped down to help Qin Wan'er play chess.

After some quick or slow fights, everyone looked at Qin Wan'er's pale face and knew that the overall situation had been settled. Qi Ye's attainment in chess was even better than that of the number one chess fairy, Qin Wan'er. No, it should fall on Prince Ziye's head.

In less than two steps, the outcome was decided, and everyone sighed in disappointment.

Qin Wan'er stood up slowly, because of her pale face, she looked even weaker, and no one could bear to punish her, she said to Prince Qiye:

"Prince Qiye is very good at chess, Wan'er is willing to bow down."

Qin Wan'er's words that she was inferior to others so frankly made the officials and children present couldn't bear to punish her, and even the female relatives didn't show any reproachful eyes to Qin Wan'er.

Neither the emperor nor the empress expected that Lord Qiye's chess skills were so superb that he defeated Qin Wan'er, so they could only praise Lord Qiye in embarrassment, and said that they should regard this chessboard as an unsolvable chess game.

On the other hand, Shu Qing looked at the chessboard that seemed to have a decided outcome, and knew in her heart that the unsolvable chess game she accidentally broke last time came out this time. Looking at the chess board, she naturally knew what to do. break.

But she doesn't want to meddle like in her last life. In her last life, in order to be able to match Gong Wushang, she also studied chess every day and night. Later, she was even better than Qin Wan'er. Once she wanted to break the game , but was ridiculed by everyone, and she was not given a chance. She kept promising that she could break through, but no one believed her, and she slowly learned to restrain her temper.

After Prince Qiye returned to his seat, he pretended to casually glance around the crowd present, seeing their slumped appearance, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, such a small country with no ability, if it wasn't for Li Wuyou, How could their Nanyue Kingdom become a vassal state of Dayan Kingdom, but soon he will switch the status of Nanyue Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom. Li Wuyou has been abolished, and Dayan Kingdom is like a toothless tiger. What made Nanyue a vassal.

There are also several other dependent countries who have the same idea. Ever since they learned that the frightening Li Wuyou was dethroned, the other countries are already ready to move. This time it is just a test. It's really embarrassing for the most talented men and women at this level.

Princess Saya of the West Mo Kingdom stood up, showing off her sexy figure, and she begged:
"Your Majesty, Saya has always heard that His Highness the Crown Prince of your country is superb in martial arts, so I would like to take this opportunity to learn from each other, and please agree with Your Majesty."

Now they have come directly to challenge Gong Wushang, Gong Wushang is the crown prince, the future prince of Dayan Kingdom, if he loses, the whole Dayan Kingdom will really become a joke.
