Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Eighth(1/2)
Yang Lingzhi smiled and reluctantly brought the glass to drink. Suddenly, she felt that the sweet fruit wine became bitter and difficult to swallow. Princess Luna bent her lips and smiled: "I won a lucky game, thank you Cheng Rang."
"The princess is too modest. The competition is based on ability, so how can I say no to give in?" Yang Lingzhi put down her empty wine glass and said. The first competition has been decided, but in the following games, Dafeng's noble girls may not lose, "Play the second game."
The five people who sent the pot to Dafeng, the strongest one was the first one. She could only make seven shots of ten shots, and the others' results were even more miserable, three shots of ten shots, five shots of ten shots, two shots of ten shots, and missed ten shots.
Drinking alcohol made the noble ladies and ladies look green. King Jiang shook his head and said, "The girls in your country are too weak and have no power to tie a chicken. If you win, you won't be martial, you won't be martial."
"When my daughter wants to tie a chicken, there is a man who will do it for him. Why do you need to do it yourself? Your country will force the girl to make Kong Wu powerful and make men useless. It is so sad." Zhao Chengzhi fought back.
"Crown Prince Zhao." King Jiang shouted.
"What advice does King Jiang have?" Zhao Chengzhi asked calmly.
King Jiang snorted coldly and decided not to have a quarrel with him.
Zhao Chengzhi sneered and did not pursue the victory.
Throwing into a pot, Dafeng suffered a crushing defeat.
"Let's start the second competition." Yang Lingzhi said after drinking five glasses of punishment.
"Princess, there are always times when the banquet ends. This competition cannot be continued. It is better to win three games in five games, how about?" Princess Luna said with a smile.
"Okay, it depends on the princess's wishes." Yang Lingzhi could no longer refute. Three wins in five games, and Dafeng still has the possibility of moving back.
Princess Luna expected that Yang Lingzhi would not object, and she smiled with a chirp of spring breeze on her face. She wanted to make Dafeng and other noble girls convinced her and felt ashamed in front of her. "This second competition will be drawn by the princess."
Yang Lingzhi reached out and grabbed a piece of paper from the signboard, spread it out, with the word "dance" written on it. Yang Lingzhi's face changed slightly, and singing and dancing were both a favorite of entertaining people. Ladies from the family were dignified and virtuous, as quiet as virgins, and there were very few people practicing dancing.
The second game was obvious, Dafeng was going to lose again. Nanming came prepared, Dafeng responded hastily, and even the people on the field could not be selected, and Nanming won without a fight. Yang Lingzhi drank five more glasses of wine. Even though the fruit wine was not high, Yang Lingzhi drank ten glasses and her cheeks turned red and she felt a little drunk.
Princess Luna clearly praised and derogatoryly said: "The princess has a good alcohol tolerance."
Yang Lingzhi felt uncomfortable and didn't want to say more to her, and said lightly: "Princess, please draw lots."
If you lose two games in a row, if you lose another game in the third game, you won’t have to compete in the next two games.
Princess Luna took the sign, picked up a piece of paper, and unfolded it, with the words "Planning the Plan". Everyone present knew what the plan was. Princess Luna's proposal, and each side sent three people to each. She and Yang Lingzhi each had ten questions, and asked the six people to calculate, and the winner was determined by the accuracy rate.
Yang Lingzhi's face looked even more ugly. She was not good at calculating. She could neither give questions nor test whether others calculated correctly. She knew her wife better than her husband. The King of Yan knew her shortcomings and quietly left the table. He asked the eunuch to find Yang Lingzhi, and asked her to find a way to delay the time, and then sent someone to Xu's mansion to pick up Shen Danxia.
Yang Lingzhi was frowning and at a loss when the maid came over and said that the prince had something to come to her. Yang Lingzhi claimed the crime to Princess Luna and stood up and left. However, she did not see the King of Yan, but the eunuch beside the King of Yan.
"Eunuch Li, what are the instructions for the prince?" Yang Lingzhi asked.
"Empress, you can only win but not lose in this third game." Eunuch Li said righteously.
Yang Lingzhi smiled bitterly. When it comes to Dafeng's glory, she also knew that she could only win but not lose, but how to win? She had no idea.
"The prince has asked someone to come and help, and ask the empress to delay the time." Eunuch Li continued.
Yang Lingzhi asked curiously: "Who will the prince invite to come and help?"
"Shen, the wife of Mr. Xu, the former commander of Yucheng City." Eunuch Li replied.
Yang Lingzhi frowned, "Concubine Xu's third sister-in-law?"
"Empress, please put the overall situation first." Eunuch Li knew that Yang Lingzhi didn't like Xu Xi, and could not see Xu Xi's family showing off, and reminded her faintly.
Yang Lingzhi took a deep breath and said, "I understand." She returned to the table and went to delay time.
When the people of the King of Yan arrived at the Xu family, Chen Danxia and Xu Lang were lying on the bed to rest in the morning. When they heard the notice, the couple quickly put on their clothes and went out to see the guests. The eunuch respectfully saluted the two and said the matter in full, and said that this was what the King of Yan meant, and hoped that Chen Danxia would help with the question.
Chen Danxia is a married woman and cannot participate in the competition between girls, but she can make questions on behalf of Yang Lingzhi to stump the girls in Southern Myanmar. Chen Danxia did not agree immediately, but looked at Xu Lang. Xu Lang pondered for a moment and said, "I will accompany you."
In the dispute between the two countries, as a citizen of Dafeng, he had no choice but to contribute to the country. When Chen Danxia arrived, Yang Lingzhi had been urged by Princess Luna three times, and Princess Luna had already finished the topic. However, Yang Lingzhi did not write a word. Seeing Chen Danxia, Yang Lingzhi immediately said: "It's urgent, don't talk about those false rituals, write the topic quickly."
Chen Danxia sat down, took the pen and thought about it, and wrote the first question on the paper: There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, with thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four feet on the bottom. Ask how many chickens and rabbits are?
Next, I will write the second question: Five acres of grassland, fifteen acres of grassland, and twenty-four acres of grassland. Assuming that the grass of three grasslands is as thick as the grass and grows as fast as the first piece of grassland; the first piece of grassland can be eaten for thirty days, and the second piece of grassland can be eaten for twenty-eight cows for forty days. How many cows can be eaten for the third piece of grassland can be eaten for eighty days?
After all, he is a person who has been tempered in the college entrance examination. Even though so many years have passed, it is not too difficult to recall. In addition, in order to take the exam of Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang, Chen Danxia searched for Zhang's manuscript and found several questions in it. He quickly wrote ten questions. Every time she wrote a question, Yang Lingzhi would copy one.
Chen Danxia's mission was completed and he was about to leave, but Yang Lingzhi said, "Change in the maid's clothes and go out with me."
"Empress, the prince just asked me to come over and ask questions." Chen Danxia didn't want to show up.
"Why did you ask you to serve me? I'm sorry?" Yang Lingzhi asked with a cold face.
"I am filial to myself, so it's not convenient for me to appear. It's not that I don't want to serve the empress." Chen Danxia lowered his head, hiding the annoyance that flashed through his eyes.
Yang Lingzhi looked at the white flowers on Chen Dan's bun, frowned and said, "If you don't go out with me, why do I answer the questions in Nanming correct?"
"I can write the answer to the Empress." Chen Danxia replied.
"You can write the answers to these ten questions. What about the answers to the ten questions written by Princess Luna?" Yang Lingzhi insisted on letting Chen Danxia follow her.
Chen Danxia had no choice but to change into the maid's clothes. She was so anxious that she had a simple hair bun, so she didn't have to recomb her. She just took off the silver hairpin, white jade hairpin and white flowers on her head.
Holding the ten questions, Yang Lingzhi went out with confidence. Princess Luna saw that a maid suddenly changed to her side, frowned slightly, and then carefully identified it. She exclaimed lightly, her eyes flashed slightly, and when Yang Lingzhi sat down, she asked with a smile: "Has the princess's question been prepared?"
"It's done." Yang Lingzhi smiled and handed her the paper with the title.
Princess Luna also handed over the questions she had written to Yang Lingzhi, and then the maid took them to the three selected girls and asked them to count them. Yang Lingzhi said loudly, "Look incense and time." The time given to the girls is two quarters of an hour.
"Princess, I'm going to go to the clean room. Can you trouble me? Is this maid next to you leading the way?" Princess Luna pointed at Chen Danxia and said.
Yang Lingzhi glanced at Chen Danxia and said, "Princess, I am a maid, everything else is good, but I just don't know the way. I'll ask someone to lead you."
"I'm sorry, the princess." Princess Luna did not insist on asking for it.
Yang Lingzhi pointed to another maid and asked her to lead the way for Princess Luna. When she walked out of the banquet hall, Princess Luna whispered to one of her maids: "Go and tell Brother Second Prince that the person he wants has appeared."
The maid took a step back and stood still. After watching Princess Luna take a few steps, she turned around and went to Dongheyuan to find King Jiang.
Princess Luna went to the clean room in a fake manner and returned to the banquet again. Two quarters of an hour had passed and the time for answering questions was up. The girls handed over the answer sheets. Chen Danxia stood beside Yang Lingzhi and whispered to help her judge the questions.
As expected, the ten questions asked by Princess Luna were correct, and the ten questions asked by Chen Danxia were correct. On Dafeng, Princess Luna correctly answered eight questions asked by Chen Danxia, because she secretly told the answers, all ten questions answered correctly. Compared with the accuracy rate, Dafeng was naturally the winner.
Chen Danxia whispered in Yang Lingzhi's ear: "Empress, I'll go down first." She always felt that Princess Luna looked at her incorrectly, and seemed to recognize her, and she felt that it was not suitable for a long time to stay here.
Yang Lingzhi ignored her, won this game, and proudly urged Princess Luna to drink and punish her.
"Princess, I admit it, it's time for you to drink this time."
Princess Luna picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
At this time, King Jiang rushed in regardless of King Yan's obstruction, scared the girls to pull the veil to cover their faces. King Jiang shouted from afar: "Princess, Xiao Wang has a ruthless request, please agree."
Chen Danxia immediately felt something was wrong, and regardless of whether Yang Lingzhi agreed or not, she turned around and left under the cover of Mo Si Mo Wang, and wanted to stay away from this place of right and wrong. Princess Luna saw it, gave a wink and asked her maid to stop her. However, her maid was just an ordinary maid, so naturally she couldn't stop Mo Si Mo Wang. Chen Danxia successfully escaped.
King Jiang only saw Chen Danxia's back as he was leaving. Yang Lingzhi's attention was on King Jiang and King Yan who were walking over, but he did not find that Chen Danxia had left. King Jiang asked, "Princess, where are your maids going in a hurry?"
Yang Lingzhi looked back and frowned. Shen was as unruly as Xu Xu. He dared to leave without her consent. He was so brave. He thought that she would be very awesome when she asked ten questions? After the matter was finished, he would definitely ask her a crime of disrespect. Yang Lingzhi had figured out how to cure Chen Danxia, but she would not say it in front of King Jiang. She smiled lightly and said, "I asked her to do something. What is King Jiang's unruly request? Please tell me clearly."
"Xiao Wang hopes that the princess will give the maid to Xiao Wang, the prince of Xiao Wang Nainan Myanmar, and ask the princess for a maid from the princess. I believe the princess will not reject me, right?" Jiang Wang said with a smile.
The face of King Yan was already gloomy. He had just seen clearly who the maid was. The one who could force Chen Danxia to dress up as a maid was, except Yang Lingzhi, and there was no one else. Anger spread from his heart. Without waiting for Yang Lingzhi to speak, he asked coldly: "King Jiang, you are so brave. You want to ask for a female official. Do you want to humiliate my Dafeng royal family?"
"Your Highness King Yan, is that really a female official?" King Jiang asked.
"Is King Jiang questioning this king?" King Yan glared.
"Xiao Wang believes what His Highness Yan said." King Jiang knew that it was impossible to ask Chen Danxia.
"King Jiang, this place is a place where women's families gather. Do you break in so rudely, wanting me to punish you according to the "Dafeng Law"?" asked the King of Yan.
"Xiao Wang fell in love with the female official just now, so he did such a rude behavior. I would like to ask His Highness, Princess, and all the ladies and girls to forgive him. Xiao Wang will withdraw now." Jiang Wang bowed and looked polite.
King Jiang followed King Yan back to Dongheyuan. Chen Danxia, who had fled from Xifu Garden in panic, hurriedly left the algae garden. When he arrived at the entrance of the garden, Xu Lang, who was waiting outside the carriage, saw Chen Danxia's panic look, rushed forward, "Jiuer."
"Husband." Chen Danxia threw himself into his arms.
Xu Lang hugged her and found that she was trembling slightly. He asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"
"Husband, get on the carriage first, let's talk on the way." Chen Danxia was afraid that King Jiang would chase after him again.
Xu Lang carried Chen Danxia into the carriage, and he followed him into the carriage and ordered the coachman to say, "Go home."
On the way, Chen Danxia told her about what happened in the teahouse that day and what she had just said. When she heard Yang Lingzhi let Chen Danxia dress up as a maid, a murderous intent flashed in Xu Lang's eyes. Chen Danxia helped her solve her problems, but she took the opportunity to humiliate others, a hateful woman.
"Do you suspect that King Jiang was called by Princess Luna?" Xu Lang asked.
Chen Danxia replied, "Eight out of ten." After Princess Luna went to the clean room, King Jiang broke in. When she left just now, Princess Luna's people wanted to stop her, saying that it wasn't Princess Luna's trouble, and she didn't believe it.
"Leave this matter to me, don't be afraid, I will be there for everything." Xu Lang said, holding her.
Chen Danxia nodded.
Xu Lang and Shen Danxia went home. Not many people knew that Chen Danxia was planning the competition and won the victory for Dafeng; the competition in the Sif Academy continued. In the third game, Princess Luna drew a piano word, and Dafeng breathed a sigh of relief to the noble girls.
Princess Luna glanced at them and said proudly: "The princesses in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all a little bit involved, and this princess will be the one who will fight in the next two games. The princess can ask the noble ladies of your country to recommend a girl to discuss with this princess. Of course, if you are not strong enough, the three of them can come to discuss with this princess, or it can be."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Lingzhi's face changed slightly. The battle just now was no longer victorious. If she still won the battle, her face would be gone. At this time, a girl about ten years old stood up and said, "The little girl is willing to have a chance to compete with the princess."
"Who are you?" asked Princess Luna.
The little girl replied loudly: "Zeng Yuehong, the daughter of Zeng Yi, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy."
Zeng Yi was a talented man, but was blocked by the light of Xu Lang and others. His reputation was not so obvious. His wife was the talented woman named Jin Youyou, Deng Ran from the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. The girls taught by talented men and women must be extraordinary and will definitely defeat Princess Luna, who has been squeezing the noble girls of Dafeng.
"Miss Zeng, Gui Geng this year?" asked Princess Luna.
"The twelve years of the year are empty." Zeng Yuehong replied.
