The most romantic little emperor

After a long time, Qin Hao finally stood up from his seat. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled faintly: "King of the South Courtyard, if you can't even make a decision on such a small matter, then today's banquet will end here!"

Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Without expelling the Liao envoys, this was the maximum Qin Hao could do. It not only saved his face as an emperor, but also maintained the dignity of Daxia.

"Wait a minute!"

However, at this moment, Yelu Lingxiao called out to him, with a proud smile on his face: "Emperor of Daxia, it is not impossible for us to perform the ceremony, but we have to see whether the courtiers of Daxia have the ability to do so!"

Qin Hao paused, then sat back in his original position. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sharp light, and he laughed softly, "What do you mean by that, King Nanyuan?"

Yelu Lingxiao chuckled, took out an object from his body and showed it in public.

A cunning smile appeared on Yelu Lingxiao's lips, as if he was hiding some unknown secret. He slowly took out an object from his lapel, held it high, and displayed it in public so that everyone could see its true appearance.

Looking at the object in Yelu Lingxiao's hand, Qin Hao's pupils suddenly contracted at that moment.

rubik's cube!

But it was not the kind that was familiar in the previous life, but an ancient version of the Rubik's Cube. However, it was only the most basic three-order Rubik's Cube.

Its structure is simple yet exquisite. Each side is carefully carved from jade of different colors. It is crystal clear, exuding a faint luster, and looks very valuable.

Qin Hao then felt relieved and cursed in his heart, "Damn it, this damn South Court King, is he trying to test everyone here with this thing?"

Everyone present looked at the object in Yelu Lingxiao's hand with puzzled expressions on their faces. In their eyes, this object was both novel and unfamiliar, as if it was just a precious work of art.

Except for Qin Hao, almost no one in Daxia had ever seen such a thing. Their eyes were all focused on the Rubik's Cube in Yelu Lingxiao's hand, wanting to find out what it was.

Seeing this, Yelu Lingxiao's smile deepened. He seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction. The Rubik's Cube in his hand gently turned at his fingertips, making a crisp sound, and instantly turned into a colorful shape. Seeing this, all the ministers in the court were amazed.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, taking in the reactions of everyone in the room. He glanced at them with an arrogant look and said jokingly, "I've heard for a long time that the literary style of the Great Xia Dynasty was flourishing, and there were many talented people, many of whom were well-educated and learned."

"Today, I will use this item as a guide to test all the knowledgeable and talented people present to see if there is anyone in Daxia who can decipher this item!"

"If Daxia has neither brave warriors nor learned and talented people, then why should I pay my respects to the Emperor of Daxia?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the venue.

Everyone was whispering and talking, feeling angry and dissatisfied with Yelu Lingxiao's provocation.

"Old man, come!"

Li Zhen took a big step forward with a disdainful sneer on his face. He glanced at the object in Yelu Lingxiao's hand and snorted, "You dare to use such a broken thing to test the talents of our Daxia? I can crush it with one hand!"

Qin Hao's face twitched subtly, and he stared at the victorious general in an almost speechless look.

Others want you to crack it, not break it!

"General Li, you seem to have misunderstood what I meant."

Yelu Lingxiao raised a sarcastic smile and sneered, "I want you to crack this thing, not break it!"

"Cracked?"

Li Zhen showed a confused expression on his face. He frowned and asked puzzledly: "King of Nanyuan, what do you mean by cracking it?"

Yelu Lingxiao smiled coldly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes: "It's very simple, this thing has six sides, each with a different color. You only need to move parts of it within the time of an incense stick, without damaging it, and move the jades of the same color to the same side."

This is a simple game, and the rules are extremely simple, so it doesn't seem to be difficult at all.

However, Yelu Lingxiao seemed to have already made up his mind and seemed to be waiting to see Li Zhen make a fool of himself.

"Haha, that's it?"

Li Zhen said with disdain, "It's quite fancy. This is a three-year-old's thing. If I were to do it, I could finish it in the blink of an eye, not to mention a stick of incense!"

As he said this, Li Zhen snatched the Rubik's Cube from Yelu Lingxiao's hand with great disdain and looked at it with disdain on his face.

Yelu Lingxiao looked at Li Zhen with a joking expression, as if he had foreseen that he was about to make a fool of himself.

Li Zhen fiddled with it hard, but after a long time, he couldn't even put one side together, let alone six.

As time passed, beads of sweat began to appear on Li Zhen's forehead, and his face became uglier and uglier. He worked harder and harder, and his movements became faster and faster, as if he wanted to break the Rubik's Cube into pieces and reassemble it.

Seeing this, Yelu Lingxiao looked at him with a smug look on his face and couldn't help but sneered: "General Li, you are a military general, you are really not suitable for cracking this thing, let you go to those talented and quick-witted civil officials!"

"You fart!"

Li Zhen was quite dissatisfied. He held his head high and said with his neck stiff, "I just haven't figured out the mystery of this thing yet. Give me some more time and I will naturally be able to figure it out!"

Before he finished speaking, he quickly put the small blocks together again.

However, this thing is like a spirit. Some of the blocks fit together properly, but the others are off.

Li Zhen tried again and again, making constant adjustments, but he was still unable to complete any of the pieces.

"Old General, let me give it a try!"

Qin Yun smiled slightly and walked forward slowly.

Seeing that he really couldn't solve the Rubik's Cube, Li Zhen had no choice but to go with the flow and hand the Rubik's Cube to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun held the Rubik's Cube tightly in his hand and pretended to study it carefully, with curiosity and challenge flashing in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Yelu Lingxiao with a smile, saying lightly: "King of the South Courtyard, to crack this thing, you need some tricks, right?"

Yelu Lingxiao nodded and answered affirmatively: "That's right!"

Qin Yun snorted, his face full of stubbornness, "Then I will let you see that there are also many talented and knowledgeable people in my Great Xia!"

Having said that, he immediately started to piece together.

Although Qin Yun's technique seemed casual, he seemed to be more calm and skilled than Li Zhen.

After some fiddling, he actually succeeded in putting together one side of the Rubik's Cube.
