Chapter 24 Talking about Conditions

The three couplets have been written in two, Ning Chen is about to write the last couplet.

However, at this moment, the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom moved secretly under his sleeve, and a gust of palm wind flew out, attacking the incense platform at the entrance of the hall.

The martial officials under the seat were stunned, but when they came back to their senses, they had no time to stop them.

"call"

A strong palm wind swept by, and the little fragrance that had already left burned out instantly.

"The time has come, you have lost." The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom stood up and said coldly and arrogantly.

The sudden situation happened so suddenly that both Emperor Xia and the ministers under him looked ashen. However, the envoys of Zhenji Kingdom made it secret, and they had no evidence.

Before the desk, Ning Chen was also stunned, and his expression was slightly cold. The pair he was about to write immediately turned his pen, and the meaning changed instantly.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

Filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette and integrity!

The ministers present were puzzled at first, and their works were a little more exciting.

The meaning of the couplet is implicit and clear, but even the military officials can see it simply that they follow the eight virtues in ancient times, including filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette, integrity, and shame. The couplet has seven characters, but the meaning is very obvious, which is to ridicule the shameless envoy of the Zhenji Kingdom.

"Good right," a great scholar in the court stood up and shouted.

The defeat was decided, but Ning Chen's turn did give Daxia a bad anger, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette, and honesty, shameless, really shameless!

The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom looked a little ugly, and even his good mood that had won a game was destroyed by most of it. Could it be that Daxia's fortune has not yet come to an end, and a small eunuch can repeatedly ruin his good deeds.

"Little father-in-law, I have another question below." The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom sneered and said, "Which is a hybrid of rice, mash, beans, wheat, millet, and sorghum?"

The ministers of Daxia were in an uproar, and this was already a swearing person.

Ning Chen turned sideways, looked at the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom face to face, without showing any weakness, and replied coldly, "Why do you have to ask me about the many scriptures in the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"good!"

All the ministers were excited, why bother to ask me, this little eunuch is really a wonderful person.

During the meal, Changsun had a lot of relief in his eyes. He did not lose the situation, and this kid finally did not embarrass her.

"alright!"

On the dragon throne, Emperor Xia stood up and decided the ending for this literary battle. "In this game, Daxia admits defeat and looks forward to the third game of the messenger tomorrow."

"I will definitely not disappoint Emperor Xia." The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom said coldly.

The court meeting dispersed. Due to Ning Chen's brilliant appearance today, many civil and military officials and generals cast their praise. Emperor Xia specially rewarded 100 taels of gold to commend him.

Unfortunately, the gold was taken away by the eldest grandson before it was warmed up and not a single piece was left behind.

Ning Chen was depressed all the way, but Changsun spoke, and who did he go to reason with?

However, before the depressed mood passed, the news from the palace scared Ning Chen almost lost his soul.

The body of the old eunuch who had been missing for more than half a month was fished out in Qingyuan Lake not far from the clean room.

After hearing this news, Ning Chen walked around in his room all day, and had the urge to run away several times.

The body of the old eunuch was found. If someone had the intention to match the time of his disappearance against the day when Mu Chengxue entered the palace for assassination, it would not be difficult to find that the old eunuch might have disappeared that day.

If so, their group of young eunuchs who had just entered the palace would have to undergo a clean examination again.

Tell Changsun that it would definitely not work to beg for mercy. He is still guilty now. If the crime is aggravated, Changsun may not be allowed to slash him directly in anger.

Changsun is good to him, but he can't bet on Changsun's forgiveness with his life.

"Run away, yes, you must run away!"

Ning Chen stopped, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He had to leave. He would find out sooner or later in the palace. If he didn't leave, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

But, how can we leave the palace?

He just knocked a little eunuch out this morning. Now Changsun is watching him tighter, so it is basically impossible to run away.

"Ah, headache"

After finally making up his mind but being powerless, Ning Chen grabbed his hair hard, but he couldn't remember any solution.

"By the way, Princess Nine"

Suddenly, Ning Chen's eyes lit up, and he remembered the Ninth Princess of Daxia who was more beautiful than Hua. He could not beat Changsun, but he could find a way to start from Xia Xinyu.

In the past two days, in order for Xia Xinyu to marry into Zhenji Kingdom, he put in a pan and paired couplets again. He put in such a lot of effort and didn't get a penny. Now he may even lose his life. The ninth princess has to pay some interest.

Daxia and Zhenji Kingdom are now winning one game, and tomorrow's last game determines the fate of the Ninth Princess. The competition between courage and wisdom in the first two games is actually scheming.

Daxia governed the country with Confucianism and was greatly influenced by Confucianism. It was no less than the shameless envoy of Zhenji Kingdom.

Fortunately, his face was thick enough to block this big hole.

As long as you can win, let your integrity die.

With the comparison of luck in the last sentence, he didn't believe that the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom would be more lucky. His surname was Ning, but not Sha. Such an obvious thing could only fool some dull scholars in the court.

When Daxia Ruosheng is born, he will definitely send a woman from the royal family to the Zhenji Kingdom to marry. If he wants to leave the palace, it is the best time to get involved in the marriage team.

The only opportunity is to make this a foregone conclusion before Changsun reacts.

Of course, if Daxia is defeated, the relatives will become the Ninth Princess, and the situation will be much more troublesome.

However, no matter what, the Ninth Princess is the best candidate he can negotiate. The reason is very simple. Whether it is losing or winning, the Ninth Princess is the one who can best influence Emperor Xia’s decision.

And Emperor Xia’s imperial edict is the only key to picking him up from the Weiyang Palace.

Now, what he needs to consider is how to persuade Xia Xinyu to ask for this imperial edict for him in front of Emperor Xia.

Fortunately, this ninth princess will come to Weiyang Palace to pay tribute to Changsun every morning and evening, and it is not difficult to meet him.

Sure enough, at sunset, summer rain curled up, wearing a green smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with flowers, mist and green grass, a thin smoke gauze, a shoulder as thin as a waist as plain, a muscle as solid as a cream, an orchid, a charming and boneless look, and a charming and beautiful.

There is no doubt that the Ninth Princess of Daxia is the most beautiful woman in the world. She is loved by heaven and earth. She is only sixteen years old, but she has already shown a stunning charm.

"Princess"

Ning Chen and others were on the way and accidentally encountered each other.

Xia Xinyu recognized the person in front of her and stopped deliberately.

Now, it is known that a small eunuch named Ning Chen is in the court, and repeatedly defeats the arrogance of the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom.

However, she knew that Ning Chen was still in a confinement now, but except for the people in Weiyang Palace, only she knew what was going on.

"Have you not cancelled your confinement yet?"

Xia Xinyu asked curiously. Logically speaking, if such a great contribution is made, the matter of being suspended should be pardoned long ago.

"Haha" Ning Chen smiled awkwardly and did not answer. Not to mention the cancellation of the confinement, even the 100 taels of gold that Xia Huang rewarded him was confiscated by Changsun.

Xia Xinyu was so clear that she naturally saw what Ning Chen had in her smile. She couldn't help but wonder what her mother was thinking.

Wait, Xia Xinyu suddenly looked at Ning Chen differently. She almost ignored the latter's confinement period. It is logical that she should not appear here.

"Young master, you should have something to say when you wait here." Xia Xinyu narrowed her autumn-like eyes and said softly.

Ning Chen was shocked. The ninth princess was indeed not as gentle and simple as she looked on the surface. I think so, how could there be a truly simple person in this palace?

Since the words were already open, Ning Chen no longer beat around the bush and said with a respectful tone, "I want to enter the ranks of brides, I hope the Ninth Princess can help this."

Xia Xinyu frowned slightly. After thinking briefly, she understood and asked strangely, "Why are you so persistent in leaving the palace and want to escape again and again? Do you know that if you are caught again this time, even the queen of mother will not be able to protect you?"

"I hope Princess Ninth will help!" Ning Chen did not answer, but said respectfully again.

"Why should I help you?" Xia Xinyu stopped asking and said calmly.

Ning Chen thought for a while and said seriously, "I can do my best to help Daxia win the third game. In this way, Daxia can not only defend Bai Ruoyuan, but the princess doesn't have to go to a foreign country."

A strange color flashed in Xia Xinyu's eyes and asked, "How do you know that you will definitely win, and how do you know that other ministers in Daxia will definitely not be able to do it?"

"It's true that everyone sees," Ning Chen said calmly.

Although the understatement is deeply hidden, it still cannot hide the pride in his tone that penetrates deep into his bones. Ning Chen will not be arrogant, but will not underestimate himself.

After living for two lives, he has increased more than just age.

Old but not dead is a monster. Logically speaking, his current situation is not much different from that of monsters.

"I really didn't expect that there was a person like you next to my mother." Xia Xinyu looked at Ning Chen in front of her, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and said softly.

"Princess's praise"

After Ning Chen put down his disguise, he no longer looked respectful and responded lightly.

"Okay, I'm going to pay my respects to my mother. As for your conditions, I will seriously consider it." Xia Xinyu smiled softly, then started her lotus steps and continued to walk towards the front Changsun's yard.

When Xia Xinyu left, Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The women in the palace were indeed not a good-looking lamp, and they could never speak to death.

However, he believed that Xia Xinyu would weigh some of the trade-offs. After all, the conditions he asked for were just a matter of one sentence for her, and it was really not a wise choice to force him to stay without her promise.

Xia Xinyu has been in the palace for sixteen years, and naturally understands this truth more than anyone else. He also has confidence that if Xia Xinyu really does not keep her promise, he will make her pay a large enough price in the future.

He respected Changsun and even honestly did not dare to say loudly in front of Changsun. That was because Changsun had the kindness of knowing and protecting him, but this did not mean that he could tolerate discrimination and bullying from others.

After pursuing the root of the matter, he has never been someone who can swallow his anger.

After finishing what he should do, Ning Chen remembered that Qingning saved him last night, but he had not yet thanked him.

Also, he still couldn't understand the passages behind the golden paper.

He was worried that if he continued to practice like this, he might become an idiot one day.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Ning Chen took out the golden paper in his arms and took a look, but walked towards Qingning's residence happily.

Compared to the prince and princess, he still likes to get along with Qingning. Although it is a bit fierce, it is so cute.
