Chapter 85: Uncle Seven

Concubine Xian smiled slightly, without saying a word, but a maid standing beside her whispered: "Manny, the slave and maid listened to people chewing in private. Maybe the third princess has a sweetheart, but I am embarrassed to say it."
Concubine Xian's face condensed slightly, she glanced at the talking mother, and said in a low voice: "Where can you speak here?"
The talking mother immediately fell silent and took a few steps back.
Qin Jiu smiled coldly. If there was no instruction from the concubine Xian, on such occasions, she would have taken ten courage, and this mother would not dare to talk too much.
"Princess Chu Chu, what Madam Fang said just now is true? If the princess really has someone to fancy, just say it, and my palace will be the master for you." Concubine Xian looked at Shang Chuchu tenderly and said with a smile.
Shang Chuchu's bright eyes looked towards Yan Su, but he saw Yan Su's lips with a cold smile, and his eyes glanced at her as clear as ice. Shang Chuchu opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything, lowered his head with a bit of resentment.
"When did the emperor's wife be interested in being a matchmaker, I don't know when to tell me one too?" Yan Yu walked out slowly, he maintained his usual leisure and ease, with a faint smile in his lazy voice.
Concubine Xian stared at Yan Yu softly and smiled slightly: "Yuheng, do you still need to be a matchmaker?"
Yan Yu walked to the chair in front of Concubine Xian and sat down at will, "I don't know the emperor's wife. Most of the people who like me are the women in the firework bush. This real good girl doesn't want to marry me."
"Yuheng joked again. You don't want to marry." Concubine Xian said with a smile, with a soft and soft tone, before turning her head to Shang Chuchu, "Princess Chuchu, just talk if you have something."
Seeing this, the second princess, Shang Sisi, frowned and stepped forward and said: "I don't want to tell you, I would like to thank Concubine Xian, my sister does have a favorite, please allow me to talk to the mother in private."
"Second sister, no need." Shang Chuchu suddenly raised his head, a kind of shallow loneliness and determination appeared in his eyes, "I am here this time, and I really want to choose a husband in Dayu. Dayu has a long history of culture. Every country is convinced. I have a question here. I want to talk to all the talented scholars. If whoever can answer it, today this princess will choose who is the husband. But if there is no one in the incense stick, this princess will do it this time. No more choosing your husband."
Everyone in the flower hall was shocked when they heard the words, and never thought that Shang Chuchu would use a topic to determine his marriage.
Concubine Xian didn't seem to have expected it, and her brows frowned imperceptibly.
Qin Jiu knows Shang Chuchu's mood very well.
She is in love with Yan Su, but Yan Su has Su Wanxiang in his heart. Although Shang Chuchu is bold and pungent, but after all, she is a young girl who has just begun to love her, and she is repeatedly rejected by the person she loves, and she will inevitably be frustrated. Although Concubine Xian said that she was the master, the girl's heart was arrogant and she was unwilling to demand a marriage. But she was reluctant to give up, so she came up with a question to choose her son-in-law. This is actually the last temptation for Yan Su, and the last opportunity for Yan Su. If Yan Su does not answer this question, then she will So unfeeling.
Qin Jiu guessed that this question must be extremely difficult, and ordinary people would never answer it in a stick of incense, and only Yan Su can answer it. It should be that the three princesses know that Yan Su knows this topic, otherwise she wouldn't use this topic to determine her marriage. It is possible that this question is the chance that Shang Chuchu and Yan Su met.
Shang Sisi originally wanted to stop, but seeing Shang Chuchu's decisive gaze, he sighed and stood beside her and stopped speaking. Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and whispered to the loquat: "You go to Mufangyuan as soon as possible. No matter what method you use, you must get Lian'er. Remember, don't tell him that this topic is for choosing your husband."
Loquat nodded and went away.
"That's the case, let the third princess ask a question. Sister Fang, please light up the incense." Concubine Xian said lightly.
Sister Fang agreed and lit a fine incense on the table in the Flower Hall. There was silence in the flower hall, and everyone looked at Shang Chuchu, wondering what question she was going to ask.
Shang Chuchu's gaze swept across the audience, smiled gently, and untied a sachet tied around his waist. She opened the sachet and poured some longan-sized pearls. The pearls are well-balanced in size, crystal clear and mellow, shining bright and shiny in the dimly lit flower hall. They are extremely gorgeous, and they are the best pearls at first sight, which makes people unable to look away. Yan Yu saw the pearls, his eyes flashed with a smile, "Three princesses, are these pearls the subject? If you answer them, do you want to give them along with them?"
Shang Chuchu smiled and squinted: "Yes, King Yan guessed right. These pearls contain a problem. If someone can wear these pearls into a string in a stick of incense, the princess will marry This person."
Shang Chuchu's voice fell, and there was a groan in the flower hall.
I thought that Shang Chuchu would have such a difficult problem, but I didn't expect it to be wearing pearls. You know, although men do not make female red, wearing pearls is not embroidery after all, as long as they have hands. But everyone knew that the subject should not be so simple. A man stepped forward and asked, "I wonder if these pearls can have holes. If not, how can we wear them?"
Shang Chuchu glanced at him arrogantly, and said, "Naturally there are holes, otherwise it would be embarrassing instead of asking questions."
Hearing the words, the man smiled and said: "In that case, I want to try it next. Although I don't know how to be a female celebrity, but my fingers are dexterous, it won't bother me wearing pearls.
"Please!" Shang Chuchu sneered.
The little maid brought a needle and thread basket, which contained various silk threads. The man picked up a thread, twisted it, and pierced it into the pearl, but for some reason, the thread was blocked in the pearl's hole. No matter how hard the man tried, it couldn't go in. The man's face flushed suddenly, he had to shook his head and backed away sadly. Some people couldn't restrain their curiosity and went forward to try, but they all ended in failure.
"Three princesses, although there are holes between these pearls, they are not connected. I am afraid we will not be able to wear them no matter how hard we try!" someone said dissatisfiedly.
Shang Chuchu smiled coldly, didn't bother to look at that person, and said arrogantly: "Naturally it works."
Yan Yu walked forward, held up a pearl with his fingers, walked outside the flower hall, raised the pearl, and looked towards the sunset to the west. I saw the sun shine on the pearl, reflecting the holes inside, but it was nine bends and eighteen bends, which were obviously processed by skilled craftsmen. Even a woman with skillful hands may not be able to wear a string. This topic is a bit more difficult. Obviously, it is impossible to do it with the usual methods.
Qin Jiu had also figured out the key points. She frowned and glanced at Yan Su, only to see that his expression was indifferent. He obviously knew the answer, but did not intend to say it. Concubine Xian is so concerned about Shang Chuchu's marriage, she must be trying to match Yan Su and Shang Chuchu, now it seems that Concubine Xian's painstaking efforts will be in vain.
A stick of incense quickly burned for more than half of the time, and no one in the hall answered. At this moment, the loquat and cherry helped the durian walk in.
As soon as the durian entered the flower hall, he said loudly: "I can answer that question." Qin Jiu was taken aback. Durian had never been so sturdy before, so he didn't know what the topic was, so he was so bold.
Everyone looked at the durian with different faces.
Durian realized that her voice was too loud, especially when she saw the concubine Xian sitting on the top of the table. Although he had never seen Concubine Xian, he had just heard about loquat. He was so anxious along the way that he had forgotten and bowed his head to salute.
Empress Xian asked indifferently: "Who are you?"
Durian said: "Weichen serves in the Hanlin Academy and is the top scholar in this section, Qin Feihua."
Concubine Xian gave a soft voice and frowned, "You said you can answer the question, do you know the question?"
Durian's face suddenly turned red, but he still said firmly: "Weichen does not know the topic, but no matter what the topic is, weichen must answer it."
"What a big tone!" Princess Zhaoping, who was standing next to Concubine Xian, said with a chuckle, "Niang, why don't you let him answer the question? See if he is bragging, and the time for the incense stick is almost here.
Concubine Xian glanced at the incense that was about to burn to the end, and said lightly: "Alright, then you can answer."
Qin Jiu frowned and asked loquat, "How did you trick this idiot?"
Loquat whispered: "I told her you were bragging here, saying that you could answer the question, but didn't answer it. Empress Xian will execute you. If someone can answer for you, Concubine Xian will spare you."
Qin Jiu slid slightly.
I didn't expect that Loquat would say that. Naturally, I didn't expect durian to be so anxious.
"This brat," she said lightly, but her heart was warm.
After durian asked the question, he stretched out his finger to hold the pearl, and then turned towards the sunset. When he saw the mystery in the pearl, he frowned.
Qin Jiu frowned when he saw that the incense on the table was about to burn out. She turned her eyes and thoughts in her heart. She walked toward Yan Yu in a graceful step.
At Yan Yu's position, the closest to Na Zhuxiang, Qin Jiu walked to his side, with one hand on the table and the other on Yan Yu's shoulders, slowly lowering his thick eyelashes, a charming smile on his lips. With the innocence of deceiving the world, "Prince, what did you just say, the women who like you are fireworks women, and there are no good women? Do you know how sad your family is!"
Yan Yu didn't know what medicine Qin Jiu's gourd sold at first. Although he knew that Qin Jiu was shameless, she didn't come to hook him on that day. There must be a mystery when she suddenly acted like this. When he saw Qin Jiu's hand on the table clearly, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Qin Jiu did have another purpose. Qin Jiu's hand holding the table case, hidden by the wide sleeves, secretly used internal force to protect the Zhuxiang from Zhen Qi.
