Chapter 192: Revenge Together
Next, no matter what poem Shen Ruyi came up with, Xiao Tangbao could answer with the following sentence.
Shen Ruyi became more and more dissatisfied because she got the answer right every time, but she could do nothing about it.
Little Tangbao said excitedly, "Since the princess is so knowledgeable about poetry, I'll give you two lines. Do you agree?"
Shen Ruyi was a little panicked, but due to everyone's intense gazes, she had no choice but to agree.
"The first line is, 'The spring breeze passes by, leaving no trace.' How about you answer the second line?" Little Tangbao said with a smile.
Shen Ruyi was dumbfounded. The poems she mentioned were all from modern textbooks. As for the sentence Shen Tang said, it was not in the textbook either!
Shen Ruyi stuttered for a long time but couldn't get the answer right.
Xiaotang Bao laughed and said, "If the princess can't answer, then listen carefully! Guest in the green mountains, drunk in the red dust"
"What's wrong with the princess? She was so talented before, but now she's like a quail?"
"The Princess of Yun Country must have plagiarized someone else's poem. Our Princess Mingzhu is the real talented woman!"
"Princess Mingzhu is extremely talented. This couplet is absolutely amazing in terms of both artistic conception and literary talent!"
"Who would have thought that Princess Mingzhu is so talented at such a young age!"
Those people whispering made Shen Ruyi look very ugly.
Finally, the messenger couldn't bear it anymore.
"Princess, why don't you just forget about this question? We all lost!"
The defeat was very ugly, but the princess still refused to accept it. What a shame!
Shen Ruyi heard people around her whispering and laughing at her, and her face looked very ugly.
"Okay! You win this time!"
Xiaotangbao smiled and said, "We agreed to a best of three match. We have already won two matches. Your cities have already been lost to me."
Shen Ruyi was blocked by her words.
"It's not over yet! It's a best of three game, isn't there still one last game? There's absolutely no way you can answer this one!"
Seeing her so proud, Xiao Tangbao said.
"Okay, you come up with the questions."
Shen Ruyi snorted.
"My topic is."
"If there are a chicken and a duck in a cage, and if you count from the top, there are thirty-five heads, and if you count from the bottom, there are ninety-four legs, then how many chickens and rabbits are there in the cage?"
As soon as this question was asked, the audience was instantly shocked.
"What kind of topic is this? I've never heard of it before!"
“I know all the words, but when they are put together, I don’t understand them.”
Shen Ruyi raised her head with great pride, "No one in Dasheng can answer this question!"
The next second, Xiao Tangbao went to the side, picked up the calligraphy brush, and wrote a lot of crooked words on it.
When the eunuch handed the note to the envoy, the envoy's face turned green.
"Yes, right again!"
Little Sugar Baby read it out, "12 rabbits, 23 chickens, and a solution is also included. Thanks."
How dare you show off such a small kindergarten question? What a joke!
Although she didn't understand, the answer had already appeared in her mind.
"How is this possible? Impossible!"
Shen Ruyi couldn't believe how Shen Tang could be so smart!
The emperor was very happy. "Princess, a girl from Dasheng can defeat you. What else do you have to say?"
Shen Ruyi was so angry that she wanted to use violence, but the envoy quickly held her back.
"Princess, this is Dasheng, please don't get angry."
In the end, Shen Ruyi was so angry that she could only hand over the three cities she had promised.
She made up an excuse and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.
Even from far away, one could hear the flattery for Shen Tang in the hall.
"Long live Princess Mingzhu!"
On the way back to the embassy, Shen Ruyi met Princess Yuyao and the two of them greeted each other.
Princess Yuyao was very surprised, "Shen Ruyi! You actually became the princess of Yun Kingdom?"
Shen Ruyi glanced at her and said, "Yeah, who is like you, being trampled under the feet of Shen Tang in Dasheng?"
Speaking of Shen Tang, both of them were very jealous.
They thought together, "Why don't we join forces and get rid of Shen Tang as soon as possible?"
Shen Ruyi came to Yun Kingdom this time, firstly to avenge Shen Tang, and secondly to form an alliance. If Shen Tang didn't die, how could she marry the prince?
"Okay! Let's go to my embassy and plan it out in detail!"
When Mo Junye heard the news that the two of them entered the embassy together, he was no longer surprised.
He said to the spy who reported: "Keep watching, it's best to hear what their plan is."
He just wants to protect little Tangbao now!
The news that Shen Tang had won three cities in Yun Kingdom spread quickly, and she returned home with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry awarded by the emperor.
Qin Yunshuang was very happy and asked the servants to prepare a large table of dishes for her.
At the same time, she was very worried.
"You are so outstanding, how can you offend others?"
Looking at her daughter's pretty face, Qin Yunshuang was filled with mixed emotions. Her daughter was becoming more and more beautiful, and her brain was becoming smarter and smarter.
It is said that climbing high can easily lead to a heavy fall, and now she is really scared.
Little Tangbao kept stuffing things into his mouth, "Mom, His Majesty and the Queen Mother love me so much, what are you afraid of?"
[The eldest brother is a general again, and the second brother has expanded his business all over the country. Even when the treasury is empty, he is still needed to fill it. ]
[My third brother has also entered the court and assumed a position, so we have nothing to fear.]
Qin Yunshuang felt a little relieved after hearing Xiao Tangbao's thoughts.
The emperor held another palace banquet, saying that it was to choose a husband for the Princess of Yun State.
Although Shen Ruyi is only ten years old and not yet of marriageable age, the Yun Kingdom said that they could find a suitable one first and let the princess live in Dasheng.
The emperor didn't like her in the first place, so he let the empress do whatever she wanted.
The Empress summoned the wives of officials of the third rank and above, as well as the wives of aristocratic families, to the palace for a banquet.
Qin Yunshuang was also among them.
When she saw Shen Ruyi, her eyes widened. "You, aren't you Shen Ruyi? How did you become a princess?"
Shen Ruyi rolled her eyes at her. "What Shen Ruyi? I don't know what you are talking about. I am the princess of Yun State. How dare you disrespect me?"
Qin Yunshuang reacted quickly. Shen Ruyi had become the princess of Yun Kingdom, and she couldn't offend her now!
When the queen saw that everyone had arrived, she said enthusiastically, "Princess, please come to my side. These are all the wives of the famous officials in Kyoto."
"I will choose a husband for you from among these people."
Shen Ruyi looked at these people with contempt and said mercilessly, "Your Majesty, I don't think I can find my future husband for a while, but I'm not comfortable living in the embassy. Why don't you change my place?"
The queen's face froze. "Could it be that the princess wants to live in the palace?"
"Of course not. I heard that Princess Mingzhu's Shen family has a very good fortune. I want to learn from Princess Mingzhu."
“No!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yunshuang refused.
"Why not? Could it be that Madam Shen thinks that I can't afford to live in your house?"
Shen Ruyi's expression changed instantly.
Qin Yunshuang didn't know how to refute, and looked at the empress for help.
The queen quickly acted as a peacemaker, "Oh, the princess wants to live in the Shen family, so she can stay for a while. Anyway, she and Xiao Tangbao are of similar age, so they should get along well."
Afraid that Qin Yunshuang would refuse again, the Queen signaled her with her eyes to stop talking.
Afterwards, the queen called Qin Yunshuang into the inner hall.
"The princess of Yun country is coming to marry, which represents the friendly relationship between the two countries. If you offend her, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
Qin Yunshuang no longer hid anything.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Yun State looks so much like Shen Ruyi, I..."
"Alas, there are many similar people in the world. Shen Ruyi is now an exiled prisoner. If she dares to come back, she will be beheaded."
After being comforted by a few words, Qin Yunshuang took Shen Ruyi and the people from Yun Kingdom back to the Shen family in the evening.
On the way, Shen Ruyi spoke to her sinisterly.
"Aunt, I hope you are okay!"
Qin Yunshuang was shocked. "You are indeed Shen Ruyi. What do you want to do when you come back?"
