"Zhiyi, although you grew up on the farm, you unexpectedly got an opportunity and were accepted as a disciple by Taoist Zhang Sheng. Now you are proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and even know a little about medicine and numerology."

When Zhao Qiyan came, he had a sword hanging around his waist. When he sat down, he took off the sword and placed it on the coffee table beside him.

At this moment, his fingers tapped the scabbard lightly, making a crisp sound. Yun Shang felt pain in her neck. She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her neck, fearing that her head would fall off in the next second.

Zhao Qiyan glanced at Yun Shang, who was fidgeting constantly, from the corner of his eye, then looked at Madam Lin and nodded in agreement, "So you learned from Taoist Zhang Sheng. No wonder you were born in the countryside, yet you know everything."

"I thought the Second Miss was a time traveler."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled Lin Zhiyi to kneel down, and even Prime Minister Lin became nervous.

"Your Highness must have misunderstood. How could Zhiyi be a time traveler? She is truly the disciple of Taoist Zhang Sheng. Everything she knows was taught to her by Taoist Zhang Sheng."

Zhao Qiyan unsheathed the sword and wiped it in his hand. The cold light of the sword made everyone present panic.

His voice was as gentle as ever, yet tinged with cruelty.

"Really? Since Miss Lin is well versed in poetry, let me test you."

"I have a poem by the famous poet Li Bai called "The Difficulty of Traveling". Can you recite it?"

Lin Zhiyi raised her head, not panicking at all. She looked directly at Zhao Qiyan and said firmly, "Your Highness, I will not recite it."

"Although I don't know as much about Yu Country's history as Your Majesty, I do know that Yu Country has never had a poet named Li Bai."

Yun Shang was terrified watching from the side. The King of Qi's test was too obvious, even she would not be fooled.

Moreover, Lin Zhiyi is so brave that she dares to confront King Qi head-on. Yun Shang now admires her a little.

You are worthy of being the protagonist, this marriage should be yours. I wish you two a happy marriage and a lasting marriage!

Just as she was eating melon and watching the show, suddenly, the King of Qi turned around and looked at her, "Miss Lin, you still have time to watch the show? It seems that this journey is difficult. Can you carry it?"

Yun Shang had just picked up the tea and took a sip when she was choked by the sudden question.

Qinghuan hurriedly patted her back to help her breathe smoothly, and she coughed for a long time before stopping.

She looked at King Qi with red eyes, like a frightened little rabbit, and stammered, "I... I don't know how to do it either..."

Zhao Qiyan looked at her and didn't say anything for a long time.

Yun Shang's heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts in her mind. Was she discovered again?

Whether you can recite it or not, will you die?

Little did he know that Zhao Qiyan found her panicked look with red eyes after coughing violently due to choking on water very funny. She looked like a red-eyed white rabbit, pitiful and cute. She pretended to be dead when her ears were lifted, and ran away when they were put down.

Even if provoked, it bites.

I just don’t know if this little rabbit will bite people?

After looking for a long while, Yun Shang was so scared that she almost confessed. Zhao Qiyan suddenly turned back and continued to question Lin Zhiyi.

Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief, looking dazed. Did she pass the test?

Then, she heard Zhao Qiyan say, "Miss Lin Er is very knowledgeable and talented. I believe she also knows the speed of light, right?"

Yun Shang: ???

Speed ​​of light?

Is this question so advanced?

Yun Shang was still in shock when she heard Lin Zhiyi's calm and composed response: "The speed of light refers to the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, which is approximately 30 kilometers per second."

Ah this...

Self-destructed? ?

Yun Shang was just surprised when she heard Lin Zhiyi explain, "The answer to this question is on the commercial pedestrian street built by the time traveler. I saw it and remembered it."

Zhao Qiyan chuckled and nodded, "Yes, the answer is correct and makes sense. Miss Lin Er has a remarkable ability to remember everything she sees."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "Alright, everyone, get up. Today is an auspicious day for the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I won't spoil the fun."

Mrs. Lin then helped Lin Zhiyi up. She smiled flatteringly and said, "Then, Your Majesty, please take a look at the selection for Princess Qi..."

Zhao Qiyan sheathed his sword and blew on the newly served hot tea. "What do you want me to see? Wasn't the Princess of Qi already chosen?"

"Why? The wedding is approaching, and the Prime Minister wants to find someone else to give to the prince?"

Madam Lin's expression froze. She laughed dryly twice, "This is not it, my biological daughter is back. Zhiyi is the real daughter of the Prime Minister, so..."

Yun Shang was eager for Lin Zhiyi to marry him, but seeing how hard Mrs. Lin tried to fight for Lin Zhiyi, she felt a little bad for Lin Zhiwei.

But no matter what, she absolutely cannot get married.

Yun Shang was just about to stand up to speak for Lin Zhiyi, but she didn't expect Lin Zhiyi to take the initiative and fight for it first.

Lin Zhiyi looked at Zhao Qiyan with a stubborn expression and bowed, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, I have seen your heroic figure from afar and fell in love with you at first sight. I wish to marry you, Your Highness."

"Moreover, whether in terms of status or upbringing, I am confident that I am more suitable for the position of Princess Qi than my sister. I hope Your Highness will grant me your blessing."

Zhao Qiyan looked up at her with an unclear expression. He looked at her for a long time without asking her to get up.

Instead, she turned to look at Yun Shang, who was so nervous that she couldn't even eat the melon. "Miss Lin, what do you say? Your sister wants to take your position as Princess Qi. Are you willing to give it up?"

Yun Shang came to her senses and quickly slid down from the chair, kneeling on her silky knees and lowering her head. "I am a fake daughter and dare not compete with you, sister. This marriage should have been yours. I am willing to give it to you."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the air around her suddenly turn cold.

After a while, I heard the sound of the teacup being put back on the coffee table.

Then, Zhao Qiyan's voice sounded above her head, "Look up."

Yun Shang looked up at him in confusion. She didn't know if it was because of the angle, but she felt that Zhao Qiyan's face was very gloomy at the moment, and it gave her a scary feeling that he would pick up a sword and kill someone in the next second.

Zhao Qiyan reached out his hand, pinched her chin, and looked into her panicked and helpless eyes. "I'll give you one more chance. Answer well."

"Are you willing to give it up?"

Yun Shang's chin trembled slightly, afraid that if she said a wrong word, her jaw would break.

She said it again with trembling teeth, "No...I don't want to?"

Hearing the correct answer, Zhao Qiyan suddenly smiled, took his hand off her chin, and patted her head. "Get up, your knees are hurting from kneeling for so long. You're going to marry the princess the day after tomorrow, and there can't be any scars on your body."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lin Zhiyi and Madam Lin, raised his hand and asked them to stand up as well, no longer needing to continue half-crouching and saluting. "Everyone, stand up. The eldest lady said she doesn't want to give way, so it's not easy for me to force someone to change, right?"

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the absent-minded Yun Shang with an ugly expression.
