You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Prince Wanyan, you may not know, right? She is my sister Du Qingwan, the queen of our Daye Kingdom."

Suddenly, Du Zhirou walked into the hall, twisting her waist, with an inexplicable look of pride on her fair little face.

At that moment, Du Qingwan was stunned.

[Wasn’t Du Zhirou thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Dog Emperor?

How can she attend such a special and grand banquet? ]

"My sister is not only extremely beautiful, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as medicine and tactics.

Don't underestimate my sister. She can bring peace to the world with her writing and she can rule the world with her martial arts."

Du Qingwan's mind had not yet recovered, and Du Zhirou's sudden "praise" left her confused for a moment.

In Du Qingwan's subconscious mind, Du Zhirou has always been incompatible with her and would never give her such high praise.

Unconsciously, Du Qingwan's smooth forehead was covered with dense beads of cold sweat, and her face turned pale as death.

[Du Zhirou, this little bitch, must have come here to laugh at me. After the banquet is over, I will make her pay!]

Du Qingwan muttered to herself in her heart, glared at Du Zhirou fiercely, and tried hard to keep smiling.

As the mistress of a country, she still has some magnanimity.

"Sister, you are joking. I am just curious. The emperor has granted my permission, so I came here to sit with him."

Du Qingwan picked up the teacup casually, brought it to her lips and took a sip, then spoke in a nonchalant tone.

She quietly observed Du Zhirou out of the corner of her eye, and then her gaze fell on Zhu Yunhao who was calmly drinking tea. Du Qingwan couldn't help but feel confused.

Logically speaking, Du Zhirou had already been thrown into prison by Zhu Yunhao, so she shouldn't be here at this time.

Since she can show up, there is only one possibility, that is, Zhu Yunhao has pardoned her and restored her freedom.

But just now she saw that Zhu Yunhao's face looked a little ugly, as if he was not happy to see Du Zhirou appear here.

This is a bit strange.

"I heard that my sister was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor's order a few days ago. How come you have time to come here today?

Could it be that the Emperor hasn't seen his sister for a few days and misses her very much, so he wants to introduce her to Prince Wanyan so that they can get to know each other?"

Du Qingwan gently put down the teacup as she spoke, and swept her cold eyes across the entire room, looking calm and composed.

Seeing that Du Zhirou didn't dare to come forward and sit down, she felt very proud and sneered, "

"What? Sister, are you planning to just stand there like this? Come over and sit down."

Upon hearing this, Du Zhirou became so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick.

She actually wanted to sit next to Zhu Yunhao!

But Zhu Yunhao's face had turned as black as charcoal, and he looked like he was going to make trouble for her in a moment.

How dare she?

"No! Thank you for your kindness, sister! I just like standing here and taking it as exercise!"

Du Zhirou knew very well that she had already lost the game to Du Qingwan, so she could only smile and pretend that she didn't care.

At that moment, she wanted to kill Du Qingwan.

She tried her best to restrain herself, but her trembling movements still allowed the young man in white to see some clues.

"I see! How interesting. Then I want to see who will win the competition today."

The young man in white raised his eyebrows, as if he instantly understood some of the conflicts between the two sisters, and acted arrogantly as if he was watching a good show.

[Fortunately, the eldest prince is very smart and sent me here to pretend to be him so that he can find out the details of Daye.]

[After all this time, this dog emperor's harem is not stable, and he still dreamt of sending troops to pacify Loulan! ]

[I want to see how you guys were defeated today!]

"Prince Wanyan, it seems that you are very interested in both of my concubines!

Let’s put it this way, the rules of this literary battle will be according to what you say.

You guys come up with the questions, and I’ll send the Queen to answer them.”

What shocked everyone present was that Zhu Yunhao actually called on Du Qingwan to come forward to fight.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court lost their composure instantly.

Although everyone had discussed it for a while, no one dared to step forward and compete with the Loulan scholar Sun Shangde.

But by sending out a weak woman, wouldn’t Zhu Yunhao be insulting the prestige of Daye and a humiliation to all the civil and military officials in the court?

"No, Your Majesty! Our Daye has a rich cultural heritage and is home to many scholars and writers. How can we just send a woman to fight?"

Zhang Xingguo believed that he did not have much talent, but subconsciously he was very reluctant to let Du Qingwan step forward to fight.

Soon, he thought of Zhong Shanzhu, the head of the Hanlin Academy.

“Let’s not talk about anything else. Our Hanlin Academy Dean Zhong Shanzhu is knowledgeable and talented. No one in the world can match him. He is a god.

I think we should let Zhong Yuanshou go ahead and give it a try!"

In Zhang Xingguo's opinion, Zhong Shanzhu will definitely win this game.

"I second the proposal!"

As Zhu Yunhao expected, all the civil and military officials in the court quickly followed suit and unanimously expressed their desire for Zhong Shanzhu to come out and accept the challenge.

Hearing this, fearing that Zhu Yunhao would still insist on forcing her to fight, Du Qingwan quickly agreed:

"Your Majesty, I also think that Prime Minister Zhang's proposal is very good. Dean Zhong is indeed the most suitable candidate."

Du Qingwan tried her best to refuse, not because she was afraid of losing, but because she really didn't want to stand out in such an occasion.

After all, on the way here, Zhao'er had already told her some information about Prince Loulan.

She still had goosebumps all over her body after seeing the frivolous and arrogant look of Prince Loulan just now.

If I were to steal the spotlight right now, I might end up getting into some unnecessary trouble.

"Master Zhong, are you sure you can win this game?"

Zhu Yunhao's tone was very cold and his face showed impatience, and one could vaguely detect a bit of contempt.

His cold eyes fell on Zhong Shanzhu and gradually became sharp.

[This bunch of useless people in the Hanlin Academy. I usually provide them with high salaries, but they all failed at the critical moment. They are completely useless!]

Zhu Yunhao muttered to himself in his heart, feeling so angry that his teeth ached.

Zhong Shanzhu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

Rumor has it that Sun Shangde is the greatest writer in Loulan, famous throughout the world, and not everyone can be compared with him.

If you rashly compete and lose, you will lose not only your own face, but also the national prestige of Daye.

Zhong Shanzhu cannot bear this responsibility.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Shanzhu quickly stepped forward and refused:

"Your Majesty, I am terrified! I think..."

"Alright! I understand what you mean! Queen, you should go and fight. I won't punish you if you lose."

Before Zhong Shanzhu could finish his words, Zhu Yunhao quickly interrupted him, waved his hand, and looked impatient.

Du Qingwan wanted to refuse, but Zhu Yunhao gave her a fierce look and she immediately felt like a wilted eggplant and didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing the decadent look of the entire court in Daye, the Loulan envoy could not help but sneer:

"I thought you, Daye, were so powerful!

If we compete in literary combat, a mere family named Sun from Loulan can scare you like this.

If we fight tomorrow, will you all have to submit to us, Loulan? Haha..."

"Ha ha……"

As soon as the Loulan envoy finished speaking, the young man in white and Sun Shangde couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Du Qingwan instantly lost her composure at the devilish laughter.
