Cui Linglong nodded, and she recognized Sun Nana's talent. But she didn't want to admit defeat, so she came up with another couplet: "Sanduozhai, Sanyuanzhai, Sanjizhai, Sansansai is like Jiujiujiu."

Sun Nana's heart tightened. This first line of the couplet was more difficult, and she couldn't think of a suitable second line for a moment.

As time passed, she was so nervous that she was sweating all over and racking her brains to think of how to respond. However, she still hadn't come up with a couplet until Manager Gao announced that the time was up.

At this point, the outcome of the game has been decided, and Cui Linglong defeated Sun Nana with absolute advantage.

The emperor was in high spirits and said happily:

"I didn't expect that there are so many talented women in my Great Sheng Country. I have to think for a while before I can barely respond to many couplets.

Ms. Cui is very talented and won this round."

Cui Linglong stepped forward to express her gratitude and said:

"In reply to Your Majesty, this is all thanks to the booklet that Princess Jiahe gave me. I have nothing to do, so I read it several times and memorized it."

When everyone heard Cui Linglong's words, they all showed surprised expressions.

They didn't expect that Cui Linglong could come up with such an exquisite couplet in such a short time, and it was because of Princess Jiahe's book.

The emperor didn't expect that He girl could make couplets. After hearing what Cui Linglong said, he also showed an interested expression.

Baili Chuyuan said with surprise:

"I didn't expect that He girl is also good at making pairs, it really gives me constant surprises!

What kind of booklet has such great magical power?"

Cui Linglong quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, this is a book of couplets that Princess Jiahe gave to me. It contains many exquisite couplets and methods of writing couplets.

I had nothing to do, so I read it and studied it. I didn't expect it would come in handy today."

The emperor laughed and said:

"So that's how it is. It seems that Princess Jiahe is not only talented, but also good at sharing. Very good."

As he spoke, Baili Chuyuan looked at Qinghe and said, "He girl, can you share your booklet with me when you have time?"

Qing He stood up and replied, "Of course you can. I will send it to you in two days."

Baili Chuyuan said happily:

"Well, well, well. Today's couplet competition was really exciting. Both of you performed very well. The winner has been decided. I have decided to reward Miss Cui with 100 taels of gold and 10 pieces of silk as a reward."

Cui Linglong quickly thanked him and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward."

The emperor looked at Sun Nana again and said:

"Miss Sun, the outcome has been decided. I hope you will abide by the agreement and the bet. Be careful with your words and actions in the future."

Sun Nana knelt down quickly and said, "Yes."

Sun Nana returned to her seat dejectedly, and sat down with a look of reluctance and helplessness on her face.

Qin Minglang walked forward, took Cui Linglong's hand and sent her back to her seat. He looked at her affectionately, his eyes full of love.

Cui Linglong also looked back at him, her heart filled with happiness.

This competition not only allowed her to defend her love, but also allowed her to show her attitude in front of everyone. I believe that if someone wants to approach her in the future, they will have to think twice.

Everyone continued to clink glasses and thought that nothing would happen at the banquet.

Jiang Meixin stood up, saluted the emperor, and then said:

"I have heard that Princess Jiahe is very talented, and I would like to compete with her. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

Baili Chuyuan looked at Jiang Meixin and felt a little unhappy. He always felt that this woman had bad intentions.

He smiled and said;

“Princess Jiahe is indeed very talented. She is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her level of skills has spread throughout Daxia.

I believe everyone has heard about the deeds of the most talented woman in Daxia, Princess Jiahe.

"Ms. Jiang, what do you want to compete with Jiahe in? Making farm tools, growing crops, or doing business?"

Jiang Meixin really didn't know what happened to Princess Jiahe in Daxia, but how could a rich girl like him compete with her in farming? The emperor was obviously favoring Princess Jiahe.

She bowed and said, "Your Majesty, none of these servants are good at it. I just thought today was a good day, so I wanted to compete with Princess Jiahe to add some joy."

Jiang Meixin's words aroused everyone's interest. Everyone wanted to know what she wanted to compete with Princess Jiahe for.

The emperor looked at Jiang Meixin and for a moment he was at a loss to reject her "good intentions".

He smiled slightly and said, "Since Miss Jiang is interested, I will approve it. Princess Jiahe, what do you think?"

Qing He stood up and bowed, saying, "I will obey the emperor's order. But I wonder what Miss Jiang wants to compete with me in?"

Jiang Meixin smiled proudly and said, "I know that Princess Jiahe is very talented. Today, I want to compete with Princess Jiahe in calligraphy, archery and numerology. It's a best-of-three game. What do you think?"

Qing He sneered in his heart and smiled:

"I can compete in anything, but I don't have any sisters. Miss Jiang, please respect yourself and don't try to be related to me."

Jiang Meixin's face turned ugly in an instant. She didn't expect Qinghe to reject her in public and embarrass her.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Since Princess Jiahe doesn't want to acknowledge me as her sister, then forget it. But whether I can call you sister from now on is not something you can decide."

As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, today I will compete with Princess Jiahe, and I would like to ask for your grace."

Baili Chuyuan looked at her inexplicably and asked, "What grace?"

Jiang Meixin pleaded, "If I win the competition today, I beg Your Majesty to agree to give me to Prince Chen as a concubine. I beg Your Majesty to grant this."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cup suddenly hit her forehead. A stream of scarlet blood flowed down her cheek.

"How dare you to covet this king? You don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is."

Prince Chen Baili Ye's face was filled with anger. He stood up and stared at Jiang Meixin with cold eyes.

Jiang Meixin was frightened by King Chen's behavior. She raised her head and saw King Chen's murderous eyes, and she couldn't help feeling fear in her heart.

But thinking of her determination to marry King Chen, Jiang Meixin still gambled everything and said:

"Your Majesty, calm down. I have admired your Highness for a long time. I know that I am a weak lady. I do not ask for the position of principal wife. I only ask to enter the palace of Prince Chen and be a concubine."

After saying this, she knelt before the emperor and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, please give me one chance for my father's sake. I only want this one chance.

If I lose, I will never marry King Chen again in this life."

"Hmph! You shameless woman, how dare you set your sights on me? I think you are tired of living." King Chen shouted angrily.

After saying that, he turned to Baili Chuyuan and said:

"Father, I will only marry one person in this life, and only one person. No matter if there is a competition or not, I will not change."

The emperor frowned. He looked at Prince Chen, then at Jiang Meixin. He felt a little embarrassed in front of everyone.
