Quickly wear the heartthrob: Peach Blossom Beauty Fululai

"Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty."

After Shen Qingjiao expressed her gratitude, she turned around and looked directly at Helian Yu. Her eyes were firm and bright, filled with an indomitable spirit.

Only then did Helian Yu notice Shen Qingjiao beside the emperor.

Looking closely, I saw that the woman was wearing gorgeous clothes and a gold hairpin inlaid with gems. The huge emerald on the hairpin was shining, and there were various gems dotted around it.

Such a hairpin is priceless and must have been a reward from the emperor. It can be seen from this that the woman must be favored by the emperor.

Looking at her appearance again, Helian Yu took a deep breath.

On her delicate and fair face, her eye sockets are slightly deep, and her pair of lively and beautiful eyes are like a lake sinking steadily in a valley. Her nose is high and upturned, which makes her eyes look more calm and bright.

When Helian Yu was slightly stunned, Shen Qingjiao opened her cherry lips and gave the answers one by one.

"A clay man cannot be washed, a fool cannot be eaten, raw vegetables cannot be cooked, and the Milky Way cannot be crossed."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials were stunned at first, but then they quickly reacted and nodded in appreciation.

It turned out to be the case.

Faced with the third prince's tricky questions, the imperial concubine did not think according to common sense, but found another way and answered cleverly.

However, I don’t know whether the third prince will be satisfied with such an answer.

After all, barbarians are accustomed to going back on their words and using any means to achieve their goals.

Then, all eyes were focused on Helian Yu.

Shen Qingjiao's clear voice seemed to still echo in Helian Yu's ears.

He stared at her in amazement.

He spent a lot of time and effort to think about these questions.

Before this, he had tried to test several famous teachers in the capital, but none of them could answer the question.

At that time, he was very confident that he could use these questions to stump the officials of the Celestial Empire. When he returned to the Western Rong Kingdom, he would spread the matter everywhere and mock the Celestial Empire for not being able to answer them.

I never expected that a concubine in the harem could answer all the questions correctly!!!

Seeing Helian Yu's complex expression change from shock to astonishment, and then to disbelief, Shen Qingjiao smiled brightly and ostentatiously.

"Excuse me, Third Prince, is my answer correct?"

Helian Yu nodded reluctantly, "Congratulations, Madam, you got it right."

All the civil and military officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and smiled with joy on their faces.

Ye Junhong also nodded frequently with a smile on his face, and was obviously very satisfied with Shen Qingjiao's performance.

Shen Qingjiao did not sit back in her seat. The smile on her lips became more and more dazzling.

"As the ancients said: It is impolite not to return the favor. I have a riddle and would like to ask the Third Prince to guess it."

Hearing that the other party wanted to test him, Helian Yu immediately threw away the annoyance in his heart and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"A small mouth, a big belly, a high nose and ears, he is called a hero if his body is burned by fire. How can a small mind hold a big thing? Two or three inches of water can cause waves. Please guess what it is." Shen Qingjiao said lightly.

Helian Yu repeated Shen Qingjiao's riddle in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed.

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't think of an answer. He was so anxious that his face turned red and he almost scratched his ears and cheeks.

Seeing this, Ye Junhong was very happy.

It must be my beloved concubine's intelligence that enabled her to control this arrogant and rampant barbarian prince.

However, diplomacy requires a certain limit. Seeing Helian Yu in a dilemma, Ye Junhong took the initiative to help him out, "My beloved, don't embarrass the Third Prince. Reveal the answer quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Qingjiao bowed gracefully.

Then, she turned to look at Helian Yu and smiled calmly, "The answer is: a charcoal stove for boiling water."

Hearing this, Helian Yu was stunned, and then he suddenly realized.

That's right, it's a stove for boiling water.

How could he not think of such a simple answer?

He has studied Central Plains culture for many years and has always been successful.

This was the first time he felt defeated in front of a woman.

However, this time he came not only to represent himself and the envoy team, but also to represent the face of the Western Rong Kingdom.

He absolutely could not admit defeat easily, lest people look down upon the Western Rong Kingdom.

So, Helian Yu said with full energy, "Your Majesty is from the Central Plains, and you are deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture. Naturally, your knowledge is higher than that of a foreigner like me. To be honest, your Majesty won unfairly!"

"Oh, then how does the Third Prince want to compete? I am willing to accept the challenge." Shen Qingjiao chuckled.

She looked so graceful and elegant, and her manners and speech revealed an ease and elegance that made Helian Yu's breath stop.

He had never seen such a heroic, bright and beautiful woman from the Central Plains.

After taking a few deep breaths, Helian Yu finally calmed down.

He took out something from his arms and held it high so that Shen Qingjiao could see it easily.

"It is made up of nine rings connected in a string, called the Nine-Ring Chain. The one who can untie it wins. My father gave it to me, and I was able to untie it in just half an hour. Do you dare to compete with me, Madam?"

Shen Qingjiao smiled lightly, nodded slightly, and said, "I am willing to give it a try."

After taking the nine-ring chain, she first observed it carefully.

After a few breaths, ten green onion-like white knuckles fluttered up and down like light butterflies.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shen Qingjiao successfully disassembled the nine rings and instructed Zhu Ling to deliver the solved nine rings to Helian Yu's desk.

In her original world, she had learned the correct way to solve the Nine Rings, so she could solve it easily and perfectly maintain the face of the Celestial Empire.

Helian Yu was stunned again.

Looking at the nine disassembled rings on the table, he began to doubt his life.

In this world, there are people smarter than him???

Not only did the woman dismantle it successfully, but she did so in a shorter time.

Obviously, she won this time.

Looking at the stupid look of the man opposite her, Shen Qingjiao couldn't help but smile secretly, "Third Prince, it's my turn to ask questions next."

As she spoke, she took out a Luban lock from her sleeve.

This Lu Ban lock was prepared in advance by Shen Qingjiao.

The reason why she prepared this thing was because the plot scene in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" where the Dzungar Khan used the Nine-Linked Jade Ring to make things difficult for Emperor Yongzheng and his court officials left an indelible impression on her.

At that time, she heard that the Western Rong had sent envoys to visit the Celestial Empire, and she was a little worried that the Western Rong envoys would do something weird to make things difficult for them, just like the Dzungar Khan had done.

If all the ministers cannot handle it, the Celestial Empire will lose all face.

In order to resolve this situation, Shen Qingjiao prepared the Lu Ban Lock in advance and made things difficult for the Western Rong envoys.

If the Western Rong envoys could not unlock the Lu Ban lock, the result would be a 0-0 draw, which in a sense would save the face of the Celestial Empire.

However, Shen Qingjiao did not expect that Helian Yu gave her a nine-ring puzzle, but she was able to solve it.

Next, if Helian Yu can't unlock her Luban lock, it will be the Western Rong Kingdom that will be embarrassed.

Shen Qingjiao called Zhu Ling and asked her to deliver the Lu Ban Lock to Helian Yu.

After Helian Yu took over the Luban lock, Shen Qingjiao's eyes were filled with deep meaning.

"Third Prince, this small piece of wood was made by a craftsman in my dynasty. It is made of eighteen pieces of wood without using a single nail."

"It took me two quarters of an hour to remove all the wooden strips. Prince San, please try to see if you can unlock this Luban lock in less than two quarters of an hour."

Helian Yu was playing with the gadget in his hand.

After he saw the structure of the wood clearly, he sneered disdainfully.

He thought it was something difficult, just this?

It's just a wooden block assembled from wooden strips, so how difficult is it?

"My queen, this thing is not difficult at all. I can finish it in a quarter of an hour. This time, you will lose to me." Helian Yu vowed with high morale.

Shen Qingjiao shook her head slightly, chuckled, and said, "Third Prince, don't underestimate it. Although it doesn't look impressive, it embodies the labor wisdom of our people in the Celestial Empire."

Helian Yu sneered and said nothing more.

He planned to laugh at this pretentious woman after successfully dismantling it.
