You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?
Chapter 29: One painting in exchange for the entire Loulan?
Although Zhong Shanzhu, the head of the Hanlin Academy, did not have the courage of Zhang Xingguo, he really admired the paintings of the young man in white.
He took two steps forward and carefully examined the Great Ye State Map drawn by the young man in white, and exclaimed in amazement:
"I've heard that the Loulan prince likes to travel around the world, and it seems he comes to Daye quite often!
In this painting, Prince Wanyan was able to depict everything from the mountains and rivers of Daye to a small county in detail, which really convinced this old minister!"
Now, everyone except Du Qingwan believed that the young man in white was the final winner.
Although Daye lost, Zhu Yunhao seemed to have forgotten even to be angry.
His face was filled with joy, and he looked like he was ready to sell out his country for personal gain.
I don't know if he is really happy or just pretending.
"In that case, I will now officially announce that this game of Loulan..."
"Wait!"
Looking up at the excited crowd, Zhu Yunhao coughed twice to moisten his throat and prepared to announce the result of the competition.
However, Du Qingwan suddenly stood up and sternly stopped Zhu Yunhao from continuing.
Seeing this, everyone present was stunned, all of them looked confused and at a loss.
"Queen, Prince Loulan won this game. Do you have any opinion?"
Seeing Du Qingwan's indifferent look, as if she didn't agree with letting the young man in white win, Zhu Yunhao's face instantly fell.
All the civil and military officials in the court were also confused by this and cast strange looks at Du Qingwan.
Du Qingwan walked up to the young man in white clothes slowly and gracefully, and said with a smile:
"Prince Wanyan, everyone agrees with your painting, but do you really think you have won?"
Du Qingwan finished her words calmly and glanced at everyone in the hall with a cold gaze, still maintaining her elegance.
The Loulan envoy standing by seemed to have noticed something, and fearing that Du Qingwan would ruin the three people's plan, he quickly put his hand into his arms, as if he was going to take out a dagger.
His action seemed covert, but Du Qingwan caught it at a glance, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Queen Daye, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with this result!
But there is no way, this is the fact.
Even you in Daye admit that we, Loulan, won!
Do you have anything else to say? Haha..."
The Loulan envoy couldn't wait to mock Du Qingwan, and his words were not polite at all and quite arrogant.
His wild laughter was extremely disgusting, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He originally wanted to continue mocking the stupidity of Daye's court officials, but was stopped by the young man in white.
Understandably, this result was expected by the young man in white, and it was also part of the plan of the three people, so he became particularly arrogant at this time.
"Empress Daye, what did you mean by what you just said?
Do you think your defeat is not bad enough and you are eager to give yourself to me? Haha..."
What made Du Qingwan extremely angry was that the young man in white dared to tease her in front of Zhu Yunhao without any bottom line.
Her anger rose immediately, her eyes bulged as big as eggs, and she responded harshly:
"Prince Wanyan, in my opinion, the real losers are you!
That's right, the picture of Daye State that you painted is lifelike, and the people of Daye are also very familiar with their country.
So, they unanimously agreed that you won..."
"That's it! The best referee is actually our opponent, and the key is that he ruled us the winner. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Haha..."
Before Du Qingwan could finish her words, Sun Shangde interrupted her immediately, his face full of disdain and ridicule.
Sun Shangde had lost the competition before and was very embarrassed.
Now that the young man in white had won, he suddenly felt less ashamed, and he still had an arrogant look on his face.
Du Qingwan was relatively calm. She sneered unconsciously and continued to ask unhappily:
"It's a bit ridiculous indeed. But aren't you curious as to why this is happening?
Aren't you curious about what I drew and why they all think you will win the competition?"
It would have been better if Du Qingwan didn't say these words. As soon as she said them, the three Loulan envoys were stunned for an instant.
The three of them looked at each other at the same time and exchanged glances quickly.
Then, the young man in white came forward as if possessed by a ghost, reached out to snatch the painting from Zhu Yunhao's hand with a suspicious look on his face, and lowered his eyes to examine it carefully.
When the young man in white saw Du Qingwan's painting of a complete Loulan country, his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the Loulan envoy was quick-witted and ran forward to support him in time.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? It's just a shabby painting. Why are you..."
The Loulan envoy tried his best to figure out why the young man in white became so panicked after seeing Du Qingwan's paintings.
He still had a playful look on his face, which instantly annoyed the young man in white.
“Shut up!…Emperor Daye, you win this round!
We will fight again tomorrow, in a duel! Let’s go!”
For unknown reasons, the young man in white quickly folded Du Qingwan's painting neatly and put it in his chest. He saluted with a gloomy face and prepared to leave.
But before Zhu Yunhao could react, Du Qingwan quickly ran up to the three of them and opened her arms to block their way.
"Prince Wanyan, are you going to give up so easily?
You can leave, but you must return my paintings to me first!"
Du Qingwan's determination to get her paintings back shocked everyone for a moment.
Especially Zhu Yunhao, now the outcome of the literary fight has been decided. As long as he can defeat Loulan in the martial arts fight tomorrow, all the previous promises can be fulfilled. Isn’t that wonderful?
He didn't dare to create any more trouble at this critical juncture.
In order to avoid a conflict between Du Qingwan and the three Loulan envoys over a painting, Zhu Yunhao quickly pretended to smile:
"Empress, it's just a painting! If you like it, I will give you a few more. It would be bad to damage the harmony."
I originally thought that Du Qingwan just couldn't bear to part with her paintings, and if I rewarded her with a few, she would probably give up fighting for them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yunhao finished speaking, Du Qingwan pretended to be very aggrieved, took out a white handkerchief, and pretended to cover her face and cry.
"Your Majesty, I painted that painting stroke by stroke, it was very hard work.
You see, my fingers are stained with ink, and they are black and ugly!
Prince Wanyan took it without saying a word. Even if they were willing to give me the whole Loulan, I would not want it! "
Du Qingwan thought for a while, then pretended to cry out her grievances, which looked no different from the real thing.
Everyone present believed it immediately, but they all agreed that Du Qingwan was deliberately making a fuss and was being very pretentious.
In the eyes of everyone, Du Qingwan was being unreasonable just to win Zhu Yunhao's sympathy and gain his favor.
"Oh, Queen, you are so narrow-minded!
Loulan...Why would the Prince of Loulan exchange the entire Loulan for such a strange and bizarre painting of yours?
I know you've worked hard, can I have dinner with you tonight? I'll keep my word. Haha..."
Just as the ministers had guessed, Zhu Yunhao immediately and readily promised Du Qingwan that he would have dinner with her in the evening.
But the next second, Du Qingwan started crying even harder.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. What I meant is that this painting of mine can really be exchanged for the entire Loulan.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask Prince Wanyan if it is true.”
I have to say, Du Qingwan is very calm and can even act out a crying scene as if it were real.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and burst into laughter.
But the young man in white suddenly gasped, his mind was instantly distracted and he looked extremely terrified.
