My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back
Chapter 72: This prince just ate too much braised beef with soybeans
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the two people on the field at this time, and no one noticed him.
So, Xiao Yuche covered his stomach, quickly withdrew the foot that was about to step forward, and hurriedly instructed Xiao Zhuozi behind him.
"Hurry, this prince just ate too much braised beef with soybeans, and now he can't hold it in any longer. Come with me and release it first."
Just like that, right under the queen's nose, the prince got up from his seat and left, heading straight for the toilet.
The queen was so angry that she just stared blankly on the Phoenix Throne.
Almost as soon as Xiao Yuche left, the Sixth Prince Xiao Yuzhi took the initiative to stand up, walked slowly to the center of the hall, and reported to Emperor Shengjing:
"Father, since the generals of Chu are both capable of both civil and military skills, then our Great Xia should not be left behind. Young Master Qin is a scholar of our dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a learned man. If we let Young Master Qin go to war, wouldn't that be a waste of his talent?
Although I am not talented, I would like to ask for permission to have a discussion with General Qi of Chu State.
As Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, all the ministers were stunned, their eyes fixed on Xiao Yuzhi, and they secretly admired his wit.
That’s right, if you can send a general to fight, then we will send a child under seven years old. In this way, even if the State of Chu wins, it will be an unfair victory.
Conversely, if the Sixth Prince wins, it will prove that Ban Ge's claim that the Chu people are all good at writing is pure nonsense, just a meeting of eunuchs. He will be slapped in the face.
Seeing this, Qi Huai on the field sneered and said, "Is Da Xia no longer employed? They actually sent a child of a few years old to take the exam, but they don't even take me, Qi Huai, seriously?"
"General, you are wrong!"
Xiao Yuzhi took a step forward, looked directly at Qi Huai with a calm gaze, and said word by word:
"It is precisely because our Great Xia is so rich in talent that anyone we pick out can speak eloquently and be both civil and military. But my father said that if we send someone too powerful to compete with you, it would be like Tian Ji's horse race, where our superior horses face off against the inferior horses of Chu. It would be extremely unfair to you, General.
As everyone knows, I am the worst student among my father's sons and a low-grade horse. General Yu Qi is a perfect match for me."
"hiss!"
As Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, there was a loud gasp at the scene.
Everyone was deeply moved by Xiao Yuzhi's remarks, and some people even took the lead and applauded.
What a match between inferior horses.
What a great Sixth Prince.
Comparing oneself to an inferior horse is modesty, but implying that the other party is also an inferior horse is a naked provocation.
At this moment, everyone felt a sense of honor. Even though the competition had not officially begun, it was obvious that the Great Xia Kingdom had already gained the upper hand in terms of momentum.
At this time, Emperor Shengjing's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he was very happy.
"Hahaha, Xiaoliu is absolutely right. In that case, let's have a literary contest between Xiaoliu and General Qi. Remember to stop when both sides have reached a certain limit."
Qi Huai didn't expect that the child in front of him, who was less than ten years old, was so eloquent. He thought he was careless.
Ban Ge and Chu Shaochen's expressions were not very good either.
At this time, Ban Ge stood up, stroked his beard, and said, "But since it's a competition, shouldn't there be some prizes?"
As Ban Ge spoke, he took out a box from his arms and opened it in public. Inside was a simplified version of the Luban lock with a unique shape.
"I found this item when I passed by an inn in your country. The innkeeper at the time said that whoever could unlock it would receive ten taels of gold. However, it was said that it had been lying around for a long time and no one had been able to unlock it. It happened that the old minister and the Crown Prince were passing by, and with some casual guidance from His Royal Highness, General Qi unlocked the item.
Now, I am willing to use this as a prize. If your country's Sixth Prince can win this competition, he can take this item and the ten taels of gold."
After Ban Ge finished speaking, he stroked his beard and returned to his seat, looking confident of victory.
When Qiu Ning heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
This Prime Minister of Chu is really arrogant.
But there is a saying that goes, If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.
In a moment, just wait and see yourself getting slapped in the face.
She has enough confidence in the Sixth Prince.
On this side, although Emperor Sheng Jing was a little worried, he was a man of his word. Since he had already spoken in public, he could only let the Sixth Prince bite the bullet and carry on:
"Prime Minister Chu is absolutely right. If that's the case, then I'll add a little spice to it.
I remember that among the tributes sent by foreign nations last year, there was a fine sword. If General Qi of Chu can win the prize today, he can take it away."
When Qi Huai heard this, he instantly became energetic.
If you want to know what a general likes most, it is to collect all kinds of handy weapons.
"Your Majesty, your son thanks you!"
After Xiao Yuzhi finished speaking, he walked to the center of the hall and stood still.
Although he was only a child of six or seven years old, he was not at all stage-frightened. He stood there with his head held high and his chest puffed out, with an innate nobility and extraordinary aura.
This instantly made Emperor Shengjing and Wan Rongyue feel much more at ease.
He simply nodded towards Qi Huai and said, "I wonder how General Qi intends to compete? Whether it's poetry or couplets, this prince will be happy to accompany you to the end."
Qi Huai didn't expect that the Emperor of Daxia would actually agree to let a child compete with him.
Even if he is a prince, Prime Minister Ban said that the princes of Daxia are still underage, and the crown prince is very naughty. The sixth prince in front of him is also very ordinary in qualifications, and he has never been heard to have anything special.
But this little face was really pretty, and Qi Huai couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Since this is a competition, I won't take advantage of you. How about this? If you can compose a poem within ten steps, you win the round. How about that?"
Xiao Yuzhi's eyes flickered, and he pretended to think for a moment before saying, "If I can do it, can you also compose a poem within ten steps?"
"Of course!" Qi Huai said with a smile.
"Then let everyone present read it and see whoever's poem is neat and has a good artistic conception will be the winner."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuzhi agreed immediately.
Next, Xiao Yuche lowered his head, looking as if he was lost in thought.
However, after several breaths, he still couldn't take a step forward. Instead, his brows furrowed more and more, as if he was in some kind of confusion.
The hearts of all the officials present were raised to their knees, and some even began to whisper in their seats.
"Is the Sixth Prince really capable? Can he really write poetry? I've never heard of his academic excellence before."
"I've heard before that when the Sixth Prince was in the Prince's Residence, he often failed to submit his homework on time, resulting in him being punished by the Grand Tutor. I think this matter is doomed." An old minister with a white beard said with a worried look on his face.
"But since you don't have the skills, why do you take the initiative to take on this porcelain job? Isn't the Sixth Prince afraid that my dynasty will lose its reputation and the imperial concubine will be implicated and punished?" Another middle-aged official couldn't help but wonder.
"Hey, if I had known earlier, I should have let Qin Jizhou take the class. At least, writing poetry is what Qin Jizhou is best at."
At this time, Queen Guo, who was sitting high on the Phoenix Throne, couldn't help but sneer at Wan Rongyue when she saw this.
"Oh, my dear sister, this is a matter of great importance to our dynasty. When the Sixth Prince stepped out just now, you didn't even come out to stop him. Now the incense stick of time is almost up. What will happen if the Sixth Prince can't say a single word?"
Queen Guo looked worried, but she was actually very happy inside.
Your son wants to show off. That's perfect. Today, let everyone see that your son is just an empty shell except for his good-looking face.
The queen looked like she was enjoying the show, which did not make Wan Rongyue angry.
Instead, he elegantly sipped his tea and replied calmly, "I believe Zhi'er won't fight a battle without confidence. I believe Zhi'er will definitely do it. Sister, just wait patiently."
The queen couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
Wan Rongyue's appearance was clearly forced. She was clearly extremely nervous, yet she had to appear calm and composed.
She really wanted to tear off the mask of this woman and admire her out-of-control and crazy appearance.
"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to hide anything, sister. Everyone knows what level the Sixth Prince is at.
"If the Sixth Prince is punished by His Majesty later, I, your sister, will certainly speak well of him because of our past friendship," Empress Guo said gloatingly.
Wan Rongyue raised her calm eyes and asked calmly, "Oh? Sister, why are you so sure that Zhi'er will be punished by His Majesty?"
"Of course I've heard that the Sixth Prince couldn't even complete the most basic schoolwork, and was often punished by the Grand Tutor for this. Don't you think I don't know?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Wan Rongyue's expression changed.
But it was not out of concern for the Sixth Prince, but out of murderous intention towards the Queen, the Crown Prince and others.
The queen had not originally planned to mention this matter today. She was planning to find time to deal with them mother and son in the future.
But since Empress Guo is seeking death by deliberately revealing this scar, we must be prepared for backlash.
