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

She stood up suddenly and walked straight to the Loulan envoy.

He glanced at the three people with disdain and said nonchalantly:

"Prince Wanyan, do you Loulan people love to lose so much?

It's not that there is no one in Daye who can accept this challenge, but you have to pass me first before you are qualified to compete with them!

If you can't even beat a little girl like me, how dare you speak so arrogantly in Daye?"

Du Qingwan didn't know where she got the confidence from, but she had her own aura, and she instantly felt a chill.

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Zhong Shanzhu felt embarrassed and quickly echoed:

"That's true! Although our queen is a woman, she is still the queen mother of the country. How can we allow you to look down on her?

I, Zhong Shanzhu, am the head of the Hanlin Academy, so I will not be afraid of you, Loulan.

When you defeat the Queen, I will take the initiative to fight!"

For the first time ever, Zhong Shanzhu did not hesitate at all this time.

Although he was not sure whether Du Qingwan could win this game, after all, Sun Shangde had the upper hand in this game.

But even if Du Qingwan lost, it wouldn't be a big deal.

In any case, it is much better than being ridiculed by all the civil and military officials in the court.

"Okay! Daye is indeed generous! Don't blame us for being rude!

Mr. Sun, this is a literary duel, you come! Make them lose with a sincere heart!"

The young man in white didn't want to waste any more time. He was anxious to see Daye suffer a crushing defeat so that he could satisfy his desire for plunder.

Although he was disguised as a prince here on the orders of the Prince of Loulan, he still had to complete the task assigned by his master.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Sun Shangde bowed his head in response and quickly walked in front of Du Qingwan.

That disdainful and arrogant look did not take Du Qingwan seriously at all, as if she was insulted.

Who in the world doesn't know the name of Sun Shangde?

Daye actually dared to let a woman fight!

She was also an abandoned queen who was disliked by the emperor and was banished to the cold palace and tortured!

It's really disgraceful and a disgrace to the good name of Sun Shangde!

"If that's the case, then I'll add some spice to it, so that I don't win easily without a fight and get laughed at by the world for bullying a woman!"

After much thought, Sun Shangde felt that it was necessary to gain some glory for himself, so he put forward a new request.

When Zhu Yunhao heard this, he was stunned: "What's the prize?"

"If I win against Queen Daye, you in Daye will not only agree to send Princess Yunluo to our Loulan for marriage in advance, and give us the three cities of Jingyun, Gutian, and Fengya, but you will also have to submit to us, Loulan, and pay tribute of ten thousand taels of gold every year!"

As far as Du Qingwan knew, giving Princess Yunluo and three cities to Loulan was a prize agreed upon by both parties before she came here.

I don’t know whether the two additional items at the end were Sun Shangde’s personal idea or were planned by Loulan in advance.

Originally, the first two points were enough to give Zhu Yunhao a headache.

It was precisely because of this that the civil and military officials present did not dare to accept the challenge rashly, for fear that they would lose their heads if they lost.

"This... Prime Minister Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhu Yunhao suddenly felt a splitting headache, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Prime Minister Zhang Xingguo, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Although Zhang Xingguo was the prime minister of a country, the stakes in this gamble were indeed quite high, and he did not dare to make the decision on his own.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better not to let the Queen accept the challenge and just admit defeat!

At least, we only lost Princess Yunluo and three small cities!"

Zhang Xingguo's statement was shocking, but there was no dissenting voice in the audience, and everyone agreed with his proposal.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunhao almost fainted from anger.

"As cowardly as a mouse! You in Daye are just like this. You will be defeated without even fighting! Haha..."

When Sun Shangde heard that Daye was going to give up the competition, he was immediately overjoyed and couldn't help laughing wildly.

In his opinion, the court officials of Daye were just a bunch of ruffians and were not worthy of competing with him at all.

What’s more, Du Qingwan is just a woman?

"You?... Stop talking nonsense! We have so many talented people in Daye. Why should we laugh at losing to a great man like you?"

Minister of Rites Deng Huanchao was the first to disagree. He quickly stood up and retorted with an extremely cold expression.

He admitted that he could not beat Sun Shangde in literary combat, but it was hard to swallow this humiliation. Even if he lost the competition, he could not lose his aura.

"Yes, we know ourselves and the enemy, and we will win every battle!

We are willing to lose the literary duel. But we will definitely win the fight tomorrow, so don’t be too proud! "

As soon as Deng Huanchao finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue Li Yi immediately responded with an extremely arrogant attitude.

The two of them sang in unison, without any fear at all.

It is understandable that they are unwilling to accept their defeat.

"It's just empty talk! If you have the guts, then compete with us properly, so that you won't be accused of bullying you, Daye no one!"

The young man in white had remained silent, but now he couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak for Sun Shangde.

Du Qingwan had always disliked him, so she approached him without hesitation and shouted back:

"Let's compete! Do you really think you can beat me?"

"You are such a silver tongue! Wait a minute, I will make you admit defeat sincerely!"

As soon as Du Qingwan finished speaking, before the young man in white had time to respond, Sun Shangde spoke quickly, his brows full of disdain and contempt.

Du Qingwan came from the 21st century after all, so how could she agree to be defeated without a fight?

"I'm going to add a gamble too! If we in Daye win, Princess Yunluo will never go to Loulan to marry, and Daye will not give the three cities of Jingyun, Gutian, and Fengya to Loulan.

In addition, if Loulan lost, it would have to submit to Daye and pay a tribute of 10,000 taels of gold every year!

What do you think? Do you still dare to accept the challenge? If you are afraid of losing, then stop showing off here!"

Du Qingwan said this coldly, then glanced at the young man in white with ulterior motives. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a smile with ambiguous meaning.

[Do these foolish and ignorant Loulan envoys really think they are a dish?]

[In a literary duel, how could I, Du Qingwan, lose to you? This is simply a joke!

[More than 300 Tang and Song poems, the Four Books and Five Classics, and world famous works, which one have I not memorized?]

"Why not? I'll ask the question first! You are just a deposed queen, how can we allow you to be so arrogant?"

Sun Shangde was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he wanted to eat Du Qingwan alive.

He stroked his beard with his hand, looking thoughtful.

“Since ancient times, scholars have all liked beautiful ladies and have written poems to express their love for each other.

How about we write a poem on the theme of women today, within a time limit of one stick of incense?"

Sun Shangde pondered for a while before finally deciding on this question.

In his opinion, although writing poetry is simple, its meaning must be profound in order to reflect a person's cultural heritage.

Although Du Qingwan was a woman, she definitely could not write a poem that would be praised by everyone.

This round...he will definitely win.

After Arrogant finished speaking, Sun Shangde looked at the young man in white, and a hint of pride quickly flashed in his slightly sunken eyes.

Du Qingwan instantly caught the ill intention in the eyes of the young man in white, and her heart skipped a beat.

[This old man and the Loulan prince are plotting something bad. I have to be careful!]

Thinking of this, Du Qingwan couldn't help but take a breath, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.

The previous self-confidence suddenly turned into uneasiness at this moment, and it became more and more intense.
