Chapter 158 She is only 6 years old. Can she lie?
Sure enough, they started crying after seeing the coffin. The first one to cry was the man in front of them. He knelt on the ground, buried his face deeply in his hands, and cried bitterly.
He had actually lost, to a yellow-haired girl. He had fled to the Great Zhou at the age of five, secretly learning painting techniques. But now... he felt sorry for the Dongyi, sorry for the Emperor, and sorry for everyone who had nurtured him.
Although it is undeniable that the Dongyi envoy's painting skills are not without merit, Mingyue's advantage lies in his unique painting skills and young age.
"I told you, she's only six years old, how could she lie?"
"However, the little princess is truly gifted."
"I remember there were rumors three years ago that the little princess was an amazing painter. I thought it was just someone complimenting her, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Princess Mingzhu is truly a good role model. My girl has to go back to paint at night. On weekdays, it takes her ten days or half a month to finish a painting."
The kids were thinking, "Oh no, it's so dicey!"
Soon, the lunch banquet began.
Today we had a seafood feast: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Osmanthus Fish Strips, Steamed Swimming Crab, Deep-fried Snow Crab, Crab Roe and Shrimp Soup, Snow Yellow Croaker, and Longjing Shrimp...
Mingyue enjoyed the meal, all of which were her favorite seafood. However, she had to drink ginger tea constantly, as crabs are cold in nature.
Mingyue ate so much that her belly was full. It was so delicious!
In the afternoon, it is the world of literati.
This time, it's no longer a two-on-two battle.
Whether it is writing poems or making couplets, Jiang Hetang will give the questions and everyone can respond. The winner will be determined by the number of correct responses.
The first scene is a flying flower game with the theme of "Chrysanthemum".
Mingyue didn't expect that her brother was so amazing and could recite dozens of poems so fluently?
The second round was a pairing game. The Goryeo and Dongyi people gradually broke down and were dissatisfied with Jiang Hetang's decision. They believed that the people of Da Zhou were in collusion and proposed to come up with the pairing themselves.
So Jiang Hetang asked them to write down the questions, sign their names, put them in the box, and take them out one by one.
Mingyue was too full and could only half lie on Zhizhi.
"The light boat has passed through thousands of mountains. The first sentence comes from the Goryeo envoy."
Mingyang stood up, "The setting sun has just dyed the river with snow, and the boat has already passed thousands of mountains."
Everyone cheered! "Good!" "That's right!"
The Goryeo envoy seemed to be prepared. He stood up, closed his eyes, and began to "recite," "The meal was eaten to marry the long and spicy spear, and the light boat has passed through thousands of mountains."
However, the applause he imagined did not come, but instead there was a chorus of doubts.
"What the hell is he talking about?"
"Does he know what a pair is?"
"That's not right. What's the point of having a meal or marrying someone?"
Although he didn't quite understand what he was saying, he knew he had messed up. He wiped the cold sweat that suddenly broke out on his forehead, quickly took out the note, and read it again, "Ruo Huan went to grab Chang La, and her light boat has already crossed thousands of mountains."
The second half of the sentence sounded as if he had practiced it for a long time, while the first half was worse than that of a babbling child.
"Excuse me, envoy, did you write your couplet yourself?" The lecturer of the Hanlin Academy stood up.
"Of course! Of course I wrote it myself, smecta." Although the locals were full of confidence, they actually felt very guilty.
"Could I ask you what kind of scene you are describing?"
The Goryeo envoy panicked. Shouldn't they just answer correctly? Why bother explaining? "Ah, this, that, means very spicy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Mingyue laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She felt bloated and amused, and her whole stomach made duangduangduang sounds as she moved.
The Minister of Personnel, who was closest to him, snatched the note hidden in his sleeve and said, "A weak sail cannot bend against the thousand waves."
In addition, there is a paragraph written in Korean, which seems to have a similar pronunciation.
I really didn't expect that this couple could find a ghostwriter?
The Koreans lowered their heads one after another. Each of them had several notes in their hands, all of which were written by a scholar they had hired for a large sum of money yesterday.
In the next game, Goryeo was drawn again, but none of their players stood up, and their faces all flushed red.
The people of the Big Bear Country were still eating and drinking, and the people of the Persian Country didn't seem to be participating, but they still stood up straight and watched attentively.
The Dongyi people were happy to see that they had one less competitor, but they were also afraid of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had a cultural history of thousands of years.
So, they looked for an easy target, "We admit that the Great Zhou is very skilled. Why don't we let the young princess fight us?"
Mingyue's subconscious reaction was, "Aren't you afraid of losing yet?"
Of course they were not afraid. She was just a little girl. Even if she could draw, so what? It was impossible for her to make couplets and compose poems.
He nodded confidently, "We want to challenge Princess Mingzhu."
Jiang Hetang and Yuan Tianzhen looked at Mingyue with some concern, as if they would immediately reject this Dongyi if she was unwilling.
Unexpectedly, Mingyue howled, "Take it!"
You little brat! After nine years of compulsory education, am I still better than you?
"Give me a question!"
The Dongyi people were stunned by her aura. No, she couldn't really do that... Impossible, impossible, she was only six years old.
I bit the bullet and went on, "Qin's Moon and Han's Gate, next sentence."
Mingyue thought for a moment and blurted out, "Cabbage, cucumber, and sour apple."
The whole audience was silent. No one expected that she could say such a couplet so confidently.
Some old officials stroked their beards, smiling broadly, "What's the matter? Did the young princess do something wrong?"
"But there are so many, and so neat!"
"Yeah, you can still expect her to produce some masterpiece."
The Dongyi people were dumbfounded again after listening to the translation. This... is this even possible?
He pulled out another piece of paper and read, "It's not north or south."
After saying that, he asked Mingyue, "Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Mingyue curled her lips slightly and stepped out of Erkang's hand, "No need!"
"Up there is neither north nor south, and down there is neither east nor west!"
The old man laughed heartily, and Mingyue's roguery left the Dongyi people speechless.
Seeing that they were silent, Mingyue began her own performance, "Now it's my turn to ask the questions."
The Dongyi man glanced at the crown prince and nodded in agreement.
"Then come on, eat well, sleep well and have a good body."
This time, not only Dong Yi, but everyone's face had cracks. This... was really not playing by the rules.
The pairs of cards they held in their hands were actually made by several hired guns overnight, but now none of them could be used.
After waiting for a long time, they were still talking about this and that, and the children of Da Zhou couldn't help but speak.
"I know, I know," the youngest son of the Minister of Revenue raised his hand with a fierce look, "Princess Sister! I know this!"
Mingyue waved at him, and he opened his mother's arms and stumbled forward.
Mingyue touched his little face and said, "Little man, tell the Dongyi idiot what the second line is."
"Of course it means more money, more blessings and more luck, just like the princess sister."
The little fat boy was probably too young and didn't notice a deadly gaze following him closely from the side.
It’s our sister-con—Brother Huan!
My sister! Not your sister!
She even touched you!! I'm mad!
