Chapter 141 Congratulations to the prince for becoming the husband of my princess
After hearing what Queen Wei said, Princess Chu said, "Since Your Majesty has made the decision, then let's follow His Majesty's wishes."
Princess Nan'an also pulled Princess Chu's sleeve and said, "Mother, my brother..."
Princess Chu said slowly: "This is his responsibility as a royal child."
It was almost time for the palace banquet, so everyone went to the palace banquet hall. Today's palace banquet was held in the garden. The spring scenery was very beautiful, and the clusters of flowers in the spring scenery added a unique flavor.
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo in her arms and sat next to Gu Yan.
Nuonuo sat between the two of them.
Gu Yan carried Nuonuo to the other side, and then he sat with Yun Xiangye and whispered to her, "Zhao Jing is going to get engaged to the princess of Xiwan."
Nuonuo was carried aside, and she crawled back to between her father and mother by herself.
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan and said, "Zhao Jing is engaged, what do you want to tell me?"
Gu Yan said: "Don't even think about reuniting with Zhao Jing."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "He and I have no previous relationship. Don't worry, I have already suffered the pain of marriage once, and I don't want to marry again after the divorce."
Gu Yan drank the cup of tea in front of him angrily: "Who will suffer more when we get married?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Since you also feel that it is hardship, we will be divorced soon anyway, and you won't have to suffer anymore."
Gu Yan took a deep breath, fearing that Yun Xiangye was here to defeat him.
Yun Xiangye heard the eunuch shouting that His Majesty and the Crown Prince had arrived. She stood up with everyone else to greet them, but did not see Ye Wanhe.
However, Yun Xiangye was not surprised. After all, her sister was pregnant, and it was not easy to tell others that she was pregnant, so it was better for her not to come to the palace banquet.
After His Majesty took his seat, he summoned the Crown Prince and the little princess of Xiwan Kingdom.
Yun Xiangye followed the gazes of the crowd and saw that the little Princess Xiwan was wearing a bright red dress from the Western Regions, a bright red scarf on her head, and her whole body was ablaze with golden light.
The little Princess Xiwan is indeed very beautiful, and she is almost as beautiful as Fu Anran.
"Diya pays respect to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good health."
"Musa pays respect to His Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
The brother and sister from Xiwan Kingdom performed a grand ceremony.
His Majesty said: "Please stand up and take a seat."
Yun Xiangye was feeding little Nuonuo water when she felt a gaze coming over. She raised her head and looked back, and saw that the little princess Diya of Xiwan Kingdom was looking at her with a mocking look in her eyes.
Yun Xiangye only took care of little Nuonuo's lunch. There were many inconveniences after entering the palace. When she entered the palace early in the morning, Yun Xiangye did not give Nuonuo much to eat. After all, it was troublesome for a child to change clothes.
Xiao Nuonuo was really hungry at this moment. She ate every dish that was served, even the winter melon that she usually disliked.
Yun Xiangye was not interested in the conversation between the two countries until he saw Princess Diya stand up and walk to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, my father said that there are many smart people in Dasheng and he wants me to be Dasheng's daughter-in-law."
His Majesty smiled at the cheerful and lively Diya and said, "There are few girls in Dasheng who are as lively as you. I have already chosen a husband for you..."
Diya said: "Your Majesty, Diya's husband must be a smart man. Diya has a difficult question. Whoever can solve it can become Diya's husband."
His Majesty smiled and said, "Then it's up to you to come up with the question."
The question of choosing a son-in-law is exactly what Your Majesty wants. The status of the man in the marriage between Dasheng and Xiwan must not be too low. He must be chosen from the royal family. But also, we must be careful about her identity as a princess of a foreign race and not be able to reuse this royal child.
If a question is asked to select a son-in-law, there is nothing wrong with it if it is solved by a young man of humble origin.
Princess Diya glanced at Gu Yan, and then called the two maids behind her to come forward with two boxes, "I heard that the date of birth of a girl in the Celestial Empire is required for her to get married. My date of birth is on a golden lock, and this golden lock is hidden in one of the two boxes."
Princess Diya said: "My two maids are named A Xing and A Yue. One of them is telling the truth, and the other is lying. The golden lock is in the box in A Xing's or A Yue's hand."
Princess Diya looked at everyone present and said, "The gentleman who can tell me which box the golden lock engraved with my birth date is in by asking one of the maids a question can be my husband."
As soon as Princess Diya said this, many people fell into deep thought.
Yun Xiangye was also thinking about this difficult problem. One of them was telling a lie and the other was telling the truth. He could only ask one of the two maids a question to determine which box the golden lock was in. This would probably depend on luck.
Zhao Rui wanted to try, but Prince Xiang grabbed her wrist and scolded her in a low voice: "Don't ignore my identity as Princess Xiwan just because of my beauty."
Zhao Rui said: "What's wrong with Princess Xiwan? I don't want to enter the court. I just want to be a free and easy prince. I'll give it a try."
Zhao Rui was indeed stunned by Princess Xiwan's appearance at first sight.
Princess Xiwan looked at the visitor and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Rui said: "I am the Prince of Xiang County of Dasheng, let me give it a try."
Diya chuckled and said, "Prince Xiang, ask..."
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "I don't need to ask. I believe in my luck. I guess your golden lock is in Miss A Yue's box."
Diya shook her head and said, "Prince Xiang, I want a smart husband, not a lucky husband. If you can't rely on a question to determine where the golden lock is, relying on luck alone will not work."
Zhao Rui said, "Aren't you making things difficult for me? One of the two maids told the truth, and the other lied. And you can only ask one question, which is to confirm which box the golden lock is in. Even the king of heaven can't help you."
Diya tilted her head and smiled at Zhao Rui, "I believe that the Great Sheng Dynasty is full of talented people, and there must be a man who can solve my puzzle."
When Zhao Rui saw Diya's smile, he felt his heart beating faster. The spring breeze blew, and the flower petals fell in front of Zhao Rui.
Yun Xiangye was thinking about this question while sitting there. She looked at Gu Yan who was standing beside her and said without thinking: "Don't you want to know how to solve this problem?"
Gu Yan said: "This is a question that even a three-year-old child knows."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, "How is it possible that a three-year-old child knows this?"
Gu Yan lowered his voice and said, "If you think about it carefully, you will find that this question is extremely simple."
Yun Xiangye frowned and thought, he didn't think the question was simple.
Zhao Rui nonchalantly said to the maidservant in front of him: "Good sister, can you kindly tell me which box contains your princess's golden lock?"
Ah Xing said coldly: "Prince Xiang, you have finished asking, but you have already lost."
Zhao Rui couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Several young men from aristocratic families came to ask for advice, but they were all judged as losers before they even opened the box.
Wei Qian was specifically asked by Queen Wei to come and question her, but he was unable to determine which box the golden lock was in with just one question.
Princess Diya looked at His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that your princes in Dasheng are very intelligent. How come there is no prince today who can determine which box my golden lock is in with just one question?"
When Princess Diya said this, Zhao Yun sneered. When he was about to speak, he was glared at by His Majesty and had to give up.
Seeing that fewer and fewer men came forward to ask questions, Gu Yan looked at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu looked back at him.
Princess Diya sighed and said, "It turns out that there is not a single smart man in Dasheng. No one can solve this puzzle."
Little Jingru was very angry when she heard what Princess Diya said. She said in a baby voice, "My brother said that even a three-year-old child can solve this puzzle."
Xiao Jingru pointed at Gu Yan as she spoke.
Gu Yan glared at Xiao Jingru and decided to avoid Xiao Jingru when talking to her from now on.
Princess Diya then set her sights on Gu Yan. "Brother Gu Yan, I remember that you were very smart when you were a child. Now you are a censor at a young age. Since you said that a three-year-old child can solve it, why don't you give it a try?"
Wei Qian said, "Yes, Gu Yan, since you said that a three-year-old child could figure it out, then you should do it, so that Princess Diya won't think that the young master of our Great Sheng Dynasty is a boaster."
Wei Qian obviously wanted to see Gu Yan's fun, for with such a difficult problem, Gu Yan had the audacity to say that even a three-year-old child could solve it.
Gu Yan stood up helplessly, walked up to Ah Xing and said, "Ah Xing, if I ask Ah Yue, she will tell me which box contains the golden lock..."
Ah Xing's eyes lit up, "My dear, you win. Congratulations on becoming the husband of my princess."
Zhao Rui frowned and said, "He didn't even open the box, how come he won?"
