"Why, Your Majesty?" Lin Wanrong was shocked. This voice was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him breathless for a long time.
"There's no why. If I say I can't, then I won't." The Emperor's face was gloomy. He looked at him with eyes as heavy as a ten thousand pound hammer. His sharp aura was like the edge of a knife.
Lin Wanrong wasn't scared. He looked at him without fear. "Your Majesty, one must be reasonable. The princess is unmarried, and I am unmarried. Why can others go but I can't? To tell you the truth, I came to the capital to wait for this day. Even if you chop off my head, I will still go. Farewell! "
For Qing Xuan's sake, he had endured for many days. At the last moment, the old Emperor had interfered. How could he not be angry? He didn't care if it was the Emperor or his father-in-law. His wife was the most important thing.
Seeing Lin San's determined expression, the Emperor's face darkened. Yesterday, he had beaten and scared Lin San, but he had not been able to subdue him. This Lin San had some backbone, it was unlikely that he would be able to use force. The Emperor was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Come back, I have something to tell you."
Lin Wanrong stopped walking. The Emperor walked to his side and looked at him. "Do you want to be the Emperor's son-in-law?"
What are you saying? I want to be my wife's husband. Who the hell wants to be your son-in-law? Seeing that he didn't say anything, the Emperor's eyes flashed. "Being the Emperor's son-in-law is glorious. However, there are many more glorious things than being the Emperor's son-in-law. If you don't become the Emperor's son-in-law, in the future, you will have the opportunity to obtain even greater glory. "
"Glory? What glory? "Lin Wanrong didn't understand.
"Ten times, no, a hundred times more glory than being the Emperor's son-in-law. As long as you remember what I said to you last night, and be more vicious, you will have more than a fifty percent chance." The Emperor's face darkened.
Lin Wanrong laughed mischievously and said, "Old Master, you are tempting me. But how can I give my wife to someone else? How about this? Let's make a deal. You let me be the Emperor's son-in-law, and then you give me the honor. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? It's great! "
The Emperor was also stunned by his words. He then laughed loudly and said, "Well done, Lin San. To think that you can say such words. No one can be more shameless than you."
Seeing that the Emperor's scowling face had finally cleared up, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. This old man was really hard to please. "Emperor old man, then I'll go. I'll do what I just said." He said shamelessly.
"Hmph, you wish. You have my daughter, and you still want to …" The Emperor snorted. "If you become the Prince Consort, you will regret it in the future."
"If I don't go now and my wife becomes someone else's, I'll regret it." On the other side, the Goryeo Prince and Asher were ready. Lin Wanrong was anxious and wanted to run over.
"Forget it. Forget it, I'll make an exception for you. "The Emperor sighed." You can go and fight for the Prince Consort today, but you can't make it public. In the future, whether you want to be the Prince Consort or something else, you can choose for yourself. I've been extremely benevolent to you. Take care. "The Emperor flicked his sleeves and left without even looking back.
… …
Lin Wanrong rushed down the stairs. He saw that the square was bustling with noise and excitement. It turned out that Princess Ni Shang had come up.
Lin Wanrong's heart was filled with excitement. She hurriedly looked towards the top floor, only to see a thick bead curtain hanging from the top floor. She could vaguely make out a silhouette sitting there. She couldn't make out the silhouette's appearance, so she wasn't sure if it was Qingxuan.
Who cares? Since I'm here, I'll take things as they come. I'll do a good job and become the Prince Consort. If the person inside wasn't Qing Xuan, the old Emperor had said that if he didn't become the Prince Consort, he could still do something else. With this thought, his heart calmed down and he looked at the embroidered building a few more times.
"They're coming out, they're coming out, someone's coming out!" There was a commotion in the crowd. The curtain on the top floor was lifted and a pretty little palace maid walked out. She had a smile on her face and two cute dimples appeared on her face, making her look very cute.
The little palace maid said in a crisp voice: "Servant Cui Yun is here on the orders of China's Princess Ni Shang to announce the rules of today's marriage proposal. Princess Ni Shang has personally come up with four interesting questions. Anyone who meets the requirements, regardless of their location, age, or location, can participate in answering the questions. The person who answers the most questions correctly will be personally summoned by Her Highness. If the Princess likes him, he can be taken in as the Prince Consort. Did everyone hear me clearly? "
"Yes." The crowd replied together. Prince Lee Chengcheng of Goryeo, Xu Zhangjin, and Han Shanggong quickly gathered together to discuss. Ashe Le also pulled the man beside him who looked like a strategist and whispered into his ear. For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.
Goryeo and the Turks had come in groups and gathered the wisdom of many strategists. In comparison, Lin Wanrong was alone and was at a disadvantage. Should I ask Old Xu to lend me a helping hand? Just as he was thinking, he heard the little palace maid say in a crisp voice: "Is everyone ready? The Princess is going to give the questions."
Princess Ni Shang was really impatient, coming as soon as she said it. Everyone's expression changed and immediately pricked up their ears.
The little palace maid smiled and took out a yellow satin envelope. It was sealed with wax to prove that no one had opened it before. She opened the envelope and inside was a small jade bead. It was sparkling and resplendent, shining under the sun. This jade bead was small and there was a small hole in the middle. However, it was not clear what it was used for.
The little palace maid said: "The first question is called Thread Piercing. This is a jade bead from the East Sea. As the name suggests, there are nine folds in it. Therefore, even though there are holes, it is impossible to see the other end. The Princess said that if anyone can pass the thread through the nine holes and the jade bead is undamaged, then he will be considered to have answered the first question correctly. "
Damn, who came up with this stupid question? The difficulty is too high. Lin Wanrong was originally full of confidence, but Princess Ni Shang's first question was already so difficult. No matter how he thought about it, he had no idea how to solve it. On Goryeo's side, there was no need to talk about Li Chengcheng. In order to help the prince marry the princess of China, Xu Zhangjin had naturally used all his skills. However, hearing this question, he could not help but frown. The Turkic emissary, Ashil, and his advisor quietly discussed several ideas, but they were all rejected one by one.
The little palace maid Cui Yun placed the Nine Turn Jade Aperture on the jade plate, and the aperture faced everyone present. The crowd had already started discussing, and everyone was racking their brains to find a way to break it.
"Subject Xu, do you have a solution to Nichang's question?" The Emperor sat on the dragon throne and asked with a smile. A few powerful ministers stood beside him.
Xu Wei shook his head: "The Princess is talented, this old subject cannot think of a solution."
"Su Mubai, what about you?" The Emperor looked at Su Mubai and asked. Ever since he had stripped Su Mubai of his status as a welcoming envoy yesterday, Su Zhuangyuan had become much quieter. Hearing the Emperor's question, he bowed and said: "Emperor, this subject has not thought of a solution yet."
The Emperor grimaced: "That girl Nichang, ever since she came back, she has not given zhen a good expression. For this marriage search, she has given such a difficult question. If no one can solve it, isn't that purposely making zhen look bad? It will make Goryeo and the Turks laugh that China has no one capable. Brother Cheng Wang, you have countless people under you. Find someone to solve this question. "
A sharp light flashed through Cheng Wang's eyes but it was hidden as he bowed and lowered his head: "Emperor, this subject's subordinates are all useless idlers that cannot be shown in public. If it is really necessary to solve Princess Nichang's question, this subject is willing to recommend someone. "
"Oh, who is it?" The Emperor asked with interest.
"Emperor, the legends say that the welcoming envoy, Lin San, is intelligent and quick-witted. He once held a Buddha in a bean sprout, washed his hands in a wok of oil, burned copper coins with fire. He is an expert in these kinds of obscene techniques. If anyone in China can solve it, it will be Lin San." Cheng Wang smiled as he said, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Su Mubai. Su Mubai's eyelids drooped and he didn't make a sound.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" The Emperor said with great interest: "Why haven't zhen heard of Lin San having such ability? Beloved Official Xu, is this true? "
"Emperor, there is such a thing. My daughter Zhiqing has once tested the three things that wang ye has listed and proved that they contain the principles of all things. This Lin San is intelligent and knowledgeable. I don't know if he can win this time, "Xu Wei said.
"So there is such a thing." The mirth in the Emperor's eyes deepened. He said lightly: "I hope that Lin San can give us a pleasant surprise."
Lin Wanrong was deep in thought, his brow furrowed. He didn't know that he had become the target of public criticism. His eyes looked out and saw a few ants slowly crawling on the ground. Those thin legs immediately triggered his inspiration.
In the Goryeo camp, Xu Zhangjin thought for a while. His eyes suddenly flashed and he hurriedly said a few words to Han Shang Gong. Li Chengcheng came over to listen and his expression instantly brightened. The three discussed for a while and finally came to a consensus.
"Got it — —" Two voices came out at the same time, one crisp, the other solid, startling everyone who was still deep in thought.
On Xu Zhangjin's side, Lin Wanrong who had also stood smiled and said: "Daren, you also have a solution?"
Lin Wanrong giggled and said: "Yes, you have it, how can I not have it?"
The little palace maid Cui Yun saw the two speak at the same time and said: "Is this miss representing your prince? Then please come up. Young Master, who are you representing? "
Lin Wanrong walked to the front of the stage and said with a smile: "I don't represent anyone, I only represent myself. Miss Zhangjin, what solution have you thought of? Why don't you go first? "
