Chapter 162 Couplets

Chu Yingrui felt that this Dugu Yanran was a little beyond his expectations.

I never thought that a woman could have such a strong influence.

Therefore, facing this situation, the best way is to suppress Dugu Yanran first and let her sit aside.

Then go back and study why it is so attractive.

Otherwise, if this situation continues, Da Chu will be thrown into a mess by a woman.

However, Chu Yingrui wanted to put Dugu Yanran aside and let her stay alone.

Dugu Yanran didn't think so.

Dugu Yanran knew very well that she came to Da Chu for marriage.

And her best opportunity to make an appearance in Da Chu, or even her only opportunity to make a public appearance, is today.

If she missed today, even if she attended more banquets, parties, or even visited some dignitaries in private, they would only be private actions.

Not only will the influence be small, but it will also not be recognized.

Therefore, if she wants to have more say in the matter of marriage, she must perform better today.

Let more people remember her, and remember her firmly.

so……

Dugu Yanran bowed again.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Great Chu. This is my first time in Great Chu. I am deeply impressed by its culture."

"Great Chu is indeed a country of etiquette, and the culture here has a long history."

"I was once taught by a famous teacher in Beiliang, but when I came to the birthplace of culture, Da Chu, I realized that what I had learned was too insignificant."

After hearing Dugu Yanran's words, all the people from the Great Chu State present raised their heads with pride.

The culture of Da Chu is what they are most proud of.

This is their heritage.

"It turns out that Princess Dugu is also interested in the culture of our Great Chu."

"Then we can have more cultural exchanges in the future."

"This prince also likes to read books and often holds literary gatherings. If the princess is interested, you may wish to join us."

The third prince enthusiastically invited Dugu Yanran to the banquet directly.

Needless to say, his enthusiastic look showed that he was obviously mesmerized by Dugu Yanran's grace.

Chu Yingrui subconsciously wanted to shake his head.

This son's IQ is indeed inherited from his mother.

It's really unbearable to watch.

However...his actions were also within my expectations.

Don’t you just want the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince to compete for Dugu Yanran?

It's good to express it directly like this.

So Chu Yingrui did not refuse, and even nodded with a smile.

Seeing Chu Yingrui's performance, the third prince became even more excited.

As expected, I am still my father’s favorite son.

It's obvious that my father intends to marry Dugu Yanran to me.

Betrothing him such a beautiful princess with a profound background, doesn't it mean that his father also values ​​him as the future heir to the throne?

The royal concubine standing by was so moved that she almost cried.

Your Majesty, I am indeed the one you love the most.

That’s why we think so much about our son.

This is obviously intended for my son to inherit the throne in the future.

The Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince: ...()()

This was different from the excitement of the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince.

Dugu Yanran's mood at this moment was extremely complicated.

How great it would be if the person who said this was not the Third Prince, but the Seventh Prince.

By then, I can legitimately spend time with the Seventh Prince under the moonlight, reciting poems and painting, and be as happy as a god.

Cultivate your relationship well before marriage so that your marriage will be more stable after marriage.

But Dugu Yanran is not someone who would give up an opportunity.

Although the Seventh Prince was the first priority, he couldn't just hang himself on this tree.

It would be good to have a third prince as a backup.

The poor third prince became a spare tire.

It's still a happy spare tire that I took the initiative to add.

Dugu Yanran smiled brightly at the third prince.

"Thank you very much, Third Prince."

"Also, when Yanran was studying Da Chu culture, she was very interested in couplets."

"And I also set a few questions for myself privately."

"I wonder if the famous scholars of Da Chu here could help Yanran and see how to best solve the second half of these questions."

Dugu Yanran's move was obviously prepared long ago.

If you want to leave a deep impression on someone, it's not enough to just flatter them, say nice things or dance.

Those things are too superficial.

People will just treat it as a vase.

Although it is beautiful, you will get tired of playing with it in your hands after a long time.

If you really want to win a man's heart and gain his respect, you still need to show some of your abilities.

It is even better to make the other person feel embarrassed, give him a difficult question, and let him keep pondering in his mind. In this way, you can leave a deep impression on him.

However, Yanran had already made preparations before coming, and even invited many famous masters from Da Chu to help her study couplets, and only then did she solve several difficult problems.

The little girl spoke softly and even asked for help.

How could I, as a man, refuse?

At that moment, several people with Confucian postures twisted their beards, smiled, and nodded to indicate that Dugu Yanran could tell the topic.

Dugu Yanran was not polite either.

"I once visited an ancient temple. The elders there told me that there was an ancient painting in their temple. In the painting, there were two or three lotus flowers emerging from the water. It looked just like the real thing... After seeing the painting, I was inspired. So the first question I prepared was... Painting a monk with lotus flowers."

Painting a monk with lotus flowers?

What kind of problem is this?

It’s just a monk painting lotus flowers.

It doesn’t feel that difficult.

However...the famous scholars sitting in the seats all frowned.

After seeing this scene, everyone realized that...it seemed that this problem was not as simple as they thought.

Then someone helped to clear up the confusion...

It turns out that this first couplet not only has a profound artistic conception, but most importantly... it is an echo couplet.

The so-called echo pair means that the pronunciation is exactly the same whether you read it forward or backward.

Painting of lotus and monk painting - Painting of monk and lotus

It is indeed difficult.

However...

[Oh my god, this fairy can do this! ]

[Isn’t this the absolute relationship between (Tang Bohu) *** and (Li Diaoyuan)?]

[It really is a (travel through a book)**The questions in it all have a story behind them]

[Let me think about it, this second line seems to be...]

【Book imitation Chinese characters Hanlin book】

[Yes, that's it.]

[Also, the 'painting' and 'writing' can be matched, which is very neat.]

[It is said that this couplet is also a difficult problem in history. This Northern Liang princess was very powerful.]

Jiang Yueyao sighed in her heart, and at the same time...

Many people also sighed in their hearts.

She is really a fairy.

He even knows how to write couplets!
