"Thank you for your compliments, Your Majesty!" It's great, I finally passed the old emperor's test, "But, Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"But it doesn't matter." Xuanyuan Wucai lowered his head to look at her small hands and said.

Concubine Yan and Concubine Rui were worried when they saw Xuanyuan Wucai's happy expression, but now they are not worried anymore, because no matter how smart the fifth lady of the Bai family is, she still has a pockmark.

face, so they have nothing to worry about.

"Your Majesty, this is a good remedy for toothache that I read in an ancient book when I was free..." Bai Xiran said in a mellow tone, her voice as beautiful as an oriole emerging from the valley.

The Ninth Prince Xuanyuan Qingyang immediately saw the value of Bai Xiran. Thinking of Bai Yuanshan's power and connections in both the government and the public, he felt that Bai Xiran was his most suitable candidate for the concubine.

So he absolutely couldn't let his third brother snatch it away.

"Father, I admire the charm of the fifth young lady of the Bai family, and I am willing to marry the fifth young lady of the Bai family as the royal concubine of Prince Yang." Xuanyuan Qingyang looked at Bai Xiran with a hint of calculation in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up.

, suddenly prostrated on the ground, kowtowed to Xuanyuan Wucai and said, this guy really knows how to strike first to gain the upper hand.

"This... this matter still depends on Bai Aiqing's intention. After all, the fifth lady of the Bai family is Bai Aiqing's daughter." Xuanyuan Wucai scolded this idiot son more than a thousand times in his heart. He really didn't know how to look at him.

"Your Majesty, this daughter, Ran'er, has already been engaged to the head of the Cao family, so... so I am afraid that my daughter will not be able to bear the great love of King Yang." Bai Yuanshan was very worried, but fortunately he had already helped her choose a good husband's family.

Otherwise, if Bai Xiran were allowed to marry into Prince Yang's Mansion, she would probably be killed silently by the evil clan's family feud.

When Cao Yichen saw Bai Yuanshan mentioning him, he stood up hurriedly and elegantly, nodded gently to Xuanyuan Wucai, and said, "For the record, Your Majesty, Yichen has indeed concluded a marriage contract with the fifth lady of the Bai family."

When Xuanyuan Wucai heard this, he felt even more annoyed, thinking, there are still people fighting for an ugly girl.

However, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha and said, "Bai Aiqing, your love is very smart and I like it very much. Let's do this. I want to recognize this girl as my adopted daughter. What do you think of this?"

Ga? Let her Bai Xiran be the adopted daughter of this perverted emperor? No! She won't be so unlucky.

"Father, don't you have us? Why do you still want to recognize your adopted daughter?" Xuanyuan Xinlan felt a little regretful at this moment. She really felt like shooting herself in the foot.

"Princess Xinlan, you are jealous, haha..." Concubine Rui is good at observing people's emotions. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, she quickly smiled and spoke to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty..." Xuanyuan Xinlan called in a low voice, hating both Concubine Rui and Bai Xiran in her heart, but she was anxious in her heart and didn't know if the palace maid had succeeded just now?

"Your Majesty, I also like this girl, just accept her as your adopted daughter." Concubine Yan said with a soft smile.

"Well, my concubine is right, Bai Aiqing, if you have no objection, tomorrow morning, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to confer this girl as Princess Pingyang, and she will be able to enter and leave the palace freely. By the way, I don't know your maiden name yet?" Xuanyuan

Wu Cai felt that allowing her to enter and exit the palace freely would make it easier for him to eat her.

"My daughter's name is Bai Xiran." Bai Xiran sighed inwardly. It's so unlucky that the old emperor would like her pockmarked face. She never thought that today's palace banquet would make her famous all over the world, and her charm could rival that of Dong Chu.

Princess Xia Ning.

"What a good name, haha..." Xuanyuan Wucai was very happy at this moment.

Long Qingkuang noticed that Bai Xiran frowned slightly and thought to himself, are there any women in this world who don't like glory and wealth?

"Senior Brother, do you still want to ask the questions you prepared?" Although Jiang Shaojie has someone he cares about, he has not forgotten his responsibility.

"Of course." Long Qingkuang paused for a moment before bringing the wine to his lips, and a gleam flashed in his lowered eyes!

"I heard that there are many talented people in Xianyang City. Qingkuang has a few questions to ask the adults present. I wonder what the emperor's intention is?" Long Qingkuang glanced at the prince Xuanyuan Qingxuan who was holding a wooden rabbit, and a faint smile passed over his lips.

Smiling, just the words he said made Xuanyuan Wucai's heart tremble.

Bai Xiran also glanced at Long Qingkuang again while he was speaking, and thought to himself, this prince of the Fog Kingdom is really ambitious.

"I'm sure." Xuanyuan Wucai thought that now there are two Third Young Masters from Xianyang. Besides, his ministers are all quick in writing and talented, so they should be able to deal with it easily.

"Shaojie, it's up to you to ask the question about this palace." Long looked at Bai Xiran with frivolous eyes and said calmly.

Bai Xiran raised her ears slightly, listening to Jiang Shaojie's voice like a clear spring, but she suddenly noticed that not far away, a seemingly invisible line of sight was falling on her, which made her very uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but frowned, and looked over with deep and dark pupils. She saw that the man who looked at her before was not looking at her at this moment. Instead, he was lazily shaking the golden bottle in his hand, and the purple-red wine was scented.

His pupils were dyed more and more like smoke, unfathomable, and the slender white hand gently holding the beautiful golden bottle was exceptionally alluring and enchanting.

Ah, that Prince of the Fog Kingdom is really a monster!

Cao Pingting and Bai Xiwu never expected that Bai Xiran would easily win the title of princess, which made them so jealous that they wanted to slap Bai Xiran.

Bai Xifang and Bai Xidi both looked at Bai Xiran with envy.

The daughters of the ministers also looked at Bai Xiran with envy, jealousy and hatred. Bai Xiran now understood a sentence: people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong!

After Cao Yichen heard that Xuanyuan Wucai had given Bai Xiran the title of Princess Pingyang, he felt very happy and thought that since Ran'er was a princess now, her grandmother would definitely not object to her marriage to Bai Xiran.

Murong Yanyue had just heard Bai Yuanshan say that Bai Xiran had been betrothed to Cao Yichen. Only she knew the pain in her heart. It turned out that he was already attracted to her, but once his heart was throbbing, how could he take it back? Could it be that he was destined to just

Can you protect her silently and secretly? Murong Yanyue lowered her head gently, filling the white jade cup in her hand with glass after glass of fine wine, and poured it into her mouth.

But Murong Yanyue was not the only one who was sad. Bai Xihan was also in great pain. Just now he noticed that Bai Xiran's eyes and Cao Yichen's eyes met as if they were flirting. He depressedly chose to drink to cover up his gaffe. It turned out that

If you love someone and don't get a response from the other person, how painful and painful it would be, even more painful than death!

"Brother, stop drinking. How can you answer the questions when you're drunk?" Bai Xiwu saw Bai Xihan drinking one glass after another, so she worriedly persuaded him, after all, he is her biological brother, although she was annoyed that he always refused.

You care about yourself, but at the critical moment, your brother is your brother.

Cao Pingting also pushed Bai Yuanshan, telling him to tell her son not to be too greedy and drink too much. How can he make a name for himself in front of everyone later?

Bai Yuanshan nodded and raised his hand to stop his eldest son from drinking too much. Bai Xihan stopped then, but his eyes wandered to his concubine Bai Xiran from time to time.

Bai Xiran was just listening carefully to the questions Jiang Shaojie asked, and felt that although these questions were weird, they were full of some wonderful philosophy.

Xuanyuan Wucai was depressed. They were from Xiling, a huge country, but they still had three questions that they had not answered.

Jiang Shaojie was almost overjoyed when he saw the ministers of Xiling Kingdom thinking hard about the last three questions.

So he and Long Qingkuang exchanged opinions, and both of them had a gentle smile on their faces. However, in the eyes of the Xiling ministers, this smile was a naked humiliation, because they, the Wu Kingdom, were just a

They are just vassal states. You dare to embarrass them and make things difficult for them. You really don't want your life.

Xuanyuan Wucai was also very anxious, so he winked desperately at the Grand Tutor Wang, who was a great scholar of the time and was recognized as having a great talent and a wealth of knowledge.

It's just that Mr. Wang lowered his head in embarrassment and was thinking hard.

"Your Majesty, I heard that a big reward will lead to a brave man, how about that?" Concubine Yan saw that Xuanyuan Wucai's big hand resting on the armrest of the throne was trembling a little, so she gently put her head close to Xuanyuan Wucai and took the opportunity to say something.

road.

"Well, what my beloved concubine said is absolutely true." After hearing this, Xuanyuan Wucai suddenly felt enlightened and thought to himself, if there was a lucky draw, wouldn't it be more able to show the courage of a great country?

"My dear friends, I think it is too boring to think like this. Let's do this. If anyone can answer the three questions asked by the Prince of Fog Kingdom, I will agree to his request. Of course, except for the throne under my butt.

!Haha..." After Xuanyuan Wucai said this, he laughed twice.

Bai Xiran thought to herself, except for the last one, which is a bit more difficult, the other three questions are all very simple. How come no one in the entire Xiling Kingdom can answer them?

The first question is, there are four things that can be encountered everywhere in the world. Which four are they?

The second question is, what is the difference between a son born from a dragon and a son born from a dog?

The third question is, there was a general who was good at naval battles, but one day he led all his soldiers and was completely wiped out before the enemy could attack. Why was this?

Bai Xiran glared at Long Qingkuang fiercely. Seeing that he was still looking at her, she continued to glare. After he finally looked away, she secretly wondered why this man kept looking at her. Could it be that she knew him? Wasn't that right?

, she thought that her memory was good. She had never seen him before, but if she had seen him, she would definitely not forget him.

While Bai Xiran was thinking, she suddenly felt another sharp and strange look looking over her. She raised her head to meet him, and it turned out to be the prince Xuanyuan Qingye. It was strange, why wasn't he holding a rabbit carved from wood?

Xuanyuan Qingye raised his sword eyebrows, doubts flashed in his thick black eyes, and he looked here quickly, but his eyes did not stay on Bai Xiran for long, and then moved away to look at others.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Wucai had been so dull for half a stick of incense, he finally anxiously began to call the roll.

"Bai Aiqing, your son is one of the three young masters of Xianyang. If you have any novel answers, please let me know." Xuanyuan Wucai tried to speak in a relaxed tone, but Bai Xihan knew clearly that the emperor was asking him to fight on behalf of the Xiling Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, Prince, these four things are east, south, west, north, and the four directions." Bai Xihan said unhurriedly, feeling very grateful to Bai Xiran in her heart because she secretly reminded herself.

"The eldest son of the Bai family is indeed one of the three young masters of Xianyang. He is truly worthy of his reputation!" Long's frivolous smile did not reach his eyes. He is well-informed and has also dabbled in lip reading. Therefore, he naturally knows that this first question is clear.

That's what the pockmarked girl answered, but she just said it through Bai Xihan's mouth.

"This is a wonderful answer! Come here, I will reward you with a sprig of Wu Xia Lang and a handle of Jade Ruyi." Xuanyuan Wucai was extremely happy. He finally solved one problem and left two problems. He seemed to be close.

Murong Yanyue suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, would you like Yanyue to answer the second question?"

Xuanyuan Wu Cai thought to himself that Murong Hanyan's nephew was really on the right track. He hadn't even named her yet, so he answered on his own.

"Your Majesty, Prince, Yanyue just heard about the difference between the son born from a dragon and the son born from a dog. Yanyue thought it was just one word different." Murong Yanyue finished speaking lightly, and a figure dressed in moon-white floated in the air.

Drawing a beautiful flowing arc, the luxurious clothes are fluttering, and the black hair is slightly rippling. Even though he is standing as gracefully as a pine tree, he is still so elegant and unparalleled.

"Is this young master also one of the three young masters of Xianyang?" Jiang Shaojie also noticed that the man's eyes looked at Bai Xiran with as much affection as his own for Bai Xiran, so his tone of voice became stiff.

"Yan Yue is not talented. He is called one of the Three Young Masters of Xianyang by good people, Mr. Jiang. Do you know whether Murong's answer is right or wrong?" Murong Yanyue unconsciously developed some hostility towards Jiang Shaojie.

"This..." Jiang Shaojie was a little depressed. Although Murong Yanyue seemed to be a playboy, since he was praised by everyone as the third son of Xianyang, it was obvious that he had some real talents.

"Well, Yanyue will explain what it means!" Murong Yanyue said with a smile. The son born from a dragon is called Prince, and the son born from a dog is called a dog. Aren't they two different words? "

Bai Xiran thought to herself, Murong Yanyue is also smart and understood her hint. It seems that she has received an excellent favor. "Wonderful! Wonderful! What a wonderful answer, Yanyue, so be it, mine.

I’ve rewarded you with the Zhenlong chessboard! "Xuanyuan Wucai was very happy and acted very generously.

Xuanyuan Xinlan is also happy for Murong Yanyue, because Murong Yanyue has been favored by her father, which also means that her mother and concubine have another layer of hope in the harem." For this third question, according to Qing Kuang, Princess Pingyang can

Answer. "Long Qingkuang's sudden words shocked everyone, because the third question involved a naval battle.

Bai Xiran sighed in her heart. This evil prince was so smart that he saw through her little tricks. Damn it, who did she offend? She didn't seem to have offended this evil prince, right?
