Only then did everyone realize that the girl in front of them was not a princess. They could not help but secretly rejoice. If a maid was so slender and beautiful, how beautiful would the real princess be?
However, they immediately thought of the question raised by the princess and thought that the test should have begun. They frowned and thought hard. Although Xixia was not as good as Mongolia, Jin Kingdom, and Southern Song Dynasty, it was also a big country. As a princess, what kind of things had she not seen? It must be an extraordinary thing that could make the princess feel so magical.
Song Qingshu almost laughed out loud. He thought that these women were really the same for thousands of years. Even their way of thinking was the same. Wasn't this question deliberately digging a pit for everyone to jump into?
At this time, the maid served tea and cakes to the people in the room one by one. The tea was good, and the cakes were also exquisite. However, no one was in the mood to drink tea at this time. They were all thinking about the princess' question.
"I think it's a beautiful bird. No, it should be a phoenix. Only a phoenix matches the princess." At this time, Si Siluo rushed to say. In his view, the imperial palace was heavily guarded, and the princess's bedroom was one of the most important places in the palace. It was impossible for outsiders to enter. Therefore, the only thing that could get close to the princess's bedroom was a bird. It must be an extraordinary bird that could surprise the princess who was used to seeing rare birds and beasts.
He was very satisfied with his answer, and even more satisfied that he said it one step ahead. As the saying goes, one step ahead, one step at a time. Those who answered later could only copy others' words.
Thinking that he and Li Yuanhao had been fighting each other for more than ten years, and now he had a good chance to marry the princess of Xixia, he secretly felt happy. At that time, he must vent his anger against Li Yuanhao on the princess.
When the people around heard his answer, they were very annoyed. They thought that why they didn't think of it and let him take the lead.
"I think it's a fish. It should be a koi that suddenly appeared in the pond, indicating that the princess will find a good son-in-law this time." Xiusei of Dongying immediately followed suit and said quickly.
Seeing that he had said what he wanted to say first, the others did not dare to hesitate and shouted out similar answers. It could be said that they had said all the birds and beasts.
After asking around, the maid looked at Nalan Rongruo and said, "I have long heard of Childe Nalan's talent. I wonder what Childe Nalan thinks?" Nalan Rong Ruo excelled in both the pen and the sword, he was also very handsome, there were many unmarried women from various countries who were his fans.
Nalan Rong Ruo bowed and replied modestly, "I don't dare to claim to be a brilliant opinion. I think Princess may have seen the clouds in the sky this morning, and it evoked the matter of choosing a son-in-law."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads. As expected of a gifted scholar, he had to be a little more ambitious.
"I think what the princess saw was the wind. Flowers bloom and wilt in front of the courtyard, not the wind or the trees, but the heart." Xu Zhu was inspired by him and thought of a Buddhist story.
Quite a number of people felt that the little monk's speech was brilliant, but there were even more people who were dissatisfied. Hence, they pointed out that he was using a Buddhist gatha to fool people, and pointed out that he was actually a monk, in order to lower his image in the Princess's heart.
If it had been before, the people of Shaolin Temple would probably have rejected it. However, Xu Liewu had already made a deal with them, and they had already achieved their goal for this trip. Thus, they did not care much about the position of Emperor's son-in-law.
"Everyone, please don't make a ruckus." The maidservant softly comforted the crowd. She then asked Xu Liewu, "What is the prince's answer?"
Xu Liewu sat in his wheelchair and proudly replied, "Princess is the descendant of an ambitious and ruthless hero. As the saying goes, a tiger's daughter comes from a family of generals. How could she care about some birds, beasts, winds, and clouds? In this prince's opinion, Princess should be surprised to see the Imperial Qi of our Mongolian Empire flourishing day by day. When the time comes, we will join forces and this prince will take Princess to see all the rivers and mountains in the world."
His words made everyone who had previously replied look down on him. However, everyone was afraid of the might of the Mongolian Empire and did not dare to say anything.
Wanyan Zhongjie did not care about that. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Imperial Qi? You Mongolians believe in the Everlasting Heaven and boast that you are the descendants of a wolf and a white deer. Even if you have any Qi, it is Wolf Qi. What Imperial Qi? You really know how to put gold on your face. "
Xu Liewu was furious. "When the Mongolian Empire invades the south, the first country we will destroy will be the Jin Kingdom."
"Who doesn't know how to boast? In these past few years, I have not seen you gain any advantage." Wanyan Zhongjie did not back down and directly retorted. Because the two of them began to quarrel, the hall quickly became a mess.
At this time, Xue Baochai saw that Song Qingshu was still leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "How can you still be in the mood to eat here? Everyone has already answered, but you have not said anything."
"The snacks are delicious, and the tea is also very good. Compared to the Longjing tea in Jiangnan, the tea here has a different flavor. Do you want to try it?" Song Qingshu said as he handed over the cup.
Seeing that he had drunk from the cup, Xue Baochai's face turned red. "Why are you still making trouble at a time like this? Hurry up and tell that maid your answer."
Song Qingshu looked at her strangely and said, "Sister Bao, do you really want me to marry the Princess?"
Xue Baochai was stunned. Yes, he had already won the martial arts competition. The better his answer was, the more likely he would be chosen as the Emperor's son-in-law. Why did she have to rush him?
However, he immediately reacted. How could the Princess of Xixia like Baoyu? If she hadn't grown up with him, perhaps she would also …
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became.
Song Qingshu saw that she became shy as she spoke. He thought that these women's thoughts were really hard to understand.
Seeing that the room was becoming more and more chaotic, the people of Class One Hall hurriedly came out to maintain order. Only then did the maid walk in front of Song Qingshu and ask, "Young Master, what's your answer?"
Song Qingshu swallowed the last snack and drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat before he said, "I don't know what's wrong with the Princess's body. I know a little about the art of yellow medicine, and this time, I have brought a lot of expensive medicine with me. I can treat the Princess."
Si Boluo sneered and said, "What are you talking about? She is asking you what the Princess saw." The others also criticized him. Only a few meticulous people suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have overlooked a piece of information.
There was a trace of a smile on the maid's face. "Thank you for your concern, Young Master. The Princess has just caught a cold. She will be fine after drinking some red bean porridge. By the way, Young Master, what's your answer? "
Song Qingshu smiled slightly and said, "I think the Princess must have seen wrongly. She thought that I came early, so she was pleasantly surprised." In fact, it didn't matter what the latter part of the question was. The key to the answer was the first half of the sentence about drinking medicine. However, the people of this era had never seen such a trick and were all fooled.
"Bah, shameless!"
"Who do you think you are?"
…
The others were originally not convinced that he was a lucky champion. Now that they heard him speak so arrogantly, they immediately cursed him. They thought that it was really in line with his previous shameless character. Who was the Princess? They didn't know where he got the confidence that the Princess would always think of him.
Even Xue Baochai blushed. She thought that Baoyu was too hateful. However, it was good that he answered like this. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the Princess took him as the Princess's son-in-law.
