"You still need to say this?" the prince said dissatisfiedly.

"In this second session, the other party has not given a question, so it is difficult to judge at present. However, according to the other two sessions, the question will definitely not be simple." The minister did not care about the prince's dissatisfaction at all, and was well aware of the principle that being an official should be thick-skinned, and said, "The most critical discussion is the third session. In this third session, we must invite a master of piano skills."

This minister named Wang said for a long time and said nothing.

"It would be good to win one of these three games." A general said, "The best thing to win is the third game. If you lose to the eleven or two-year-old Princess Homi in the third game, I guess the people of Daxia will be ashamed of being a Daxia people."

"General Zhao said it well. We must win this third game!" The ministers agreed.

The prince frowned. He originally hoped to win in all three games. If the talented man in all three games, he would more or less save Daxia the face of losing the battlefield. More importantly, if he wins, he can save 500,000 top-grade immortal jade.

In that case, I will be considered a powerful country supervisor. Not only will the ministers in the court support me, but even the father will be satisfied.

But these three competitions were too difficult to win. First of all, Sima Junyan in the first game was a hurdle that was difficult to overcome. This man was deprived of fame by the emperor's grandfather because of his ugly appearance. The defected barbarians named him Sima Junyan. Junyan was Junyan, which shows how deep his hatred for Daxia was.

Therefore, he must have been prepared for his mission to Daxia this time.

In the third scene, the young Princess Homi looks very easy to deal with. But the weaker the enemy is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

It seems that this matter has to be discussed for a long time.

Alas! It would be great if Qin Xianren was in charge of Zhongzhou. He has reached the realm of heaven and man in all his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has the cultivation of immortals...

It can be said that he is alone, it is enough.

My father is currently in Yunzhou. He must have received a secret letter from the barbarian delegation to Zhongzhou, and he will definitely try every means to ask Qin Xianren to help. But there is no news about it at present, and it seems that he has not been invited.

Immortals are all extraordinary people. They have long seen through the world and are tired of fighting. It seems that today's matters related to the fate of the Daxia country are probably small in his eyes. They cannot linger in his mind, and cannot cause any turmoil in his heart.

I thought about this, but without saying a word, I turned around and walked into the back hall.

"Retreat!" the eunuch shouted in his duck-like voice.

The ministers in the court dispersed one after another.

...

Changle Palace.

"Grandson meets the Empress Dowager!" Prince Ji Tian walked in and saluted the Empress Dowager.

"The prince is in charge of the country, and the barbarian envoy is on the verge of Daxia. If you don't go to work on state affairs, why do you come to Ai's Changle Palace?" said the Empress Dowager lightly. The Empress Dowager was very young, probably not a few years older than the Prince.

It is too young to show off, or for other reasons, the Empress Dowager wears a veil all year round.

"The grandson came for the purpose of the barbarian envoy." The prince said. After saying that, he slightly signaled to the Empress Dowager.

"You all go down." The Empress Dowager waved. "Yes!" A group of palace maids bent down and bowed out of the palace.

"They are all gone. You can tell me if you have anything to do." The Empress Dowager frowned and said.

"You have reported to the Empress Dowager." The prince said, "I believe the Empress Dowager has also heard of the three competitions proposed by the barbarian envoy."

"The Ai family has already known about this." said the Empress Dowager.

"The grandson dared to ask the Empress Dowager to come forward and take on the third piano art competition." The prince said.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her expression was frozen. She looked at the prince with her eyes straight, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts and saw how he learned. She was secretly surprised: This prince is indeed different from an ordinary prince, and she actually guessed her identity.

Only Emperor Wu knew his identity. He actually saw clues through some details. This man was indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne.

"This matter concerns the future national destiny of Daxia. If you lose the third competition, the consequences will be unimaginable." The prince said.

"Think about this matter, Ai's family." said the Empress Dowager.

"Now tomorrow will be the time for the competition. I hope the Empress Dowager will do it for the Daxia Empire..." The prince wanted to say something else.

"Get back!" The Empress Dowager became angry, "Are all the men in Daxia dead? Just barbarian envoys, I, a woman, need to come forward? Moreover, the Ai family is the Empress Dowager. If you show up in public, wouldn't you be laughed at by the barbarians?"

The prince was speechless after hearing this and withdrew from Changle Palace.

...

Maple Leaf Town.

Qin Yifan and Huang Yirong returned to Yifan Jingzhai. At this time, An Lingxi had already bought all the materials for making lanterns.

There are bamboo strips, white satin, lotus leaves, slender red threads, oil lamps... By the way, the materials for making lanterns are within easy reach, and most people can get them all by themselves. Only some lazy people and wealthy families who don’t have time will go out to buy them.

Therefore, these seem to be a lot, but the price is very cheap.

"Xiaomei, I asked you to buy a new set of clothes. Have you bought it?" Qin Yifan asked.

"I said it all, I don't want to be taken by a certain young man, so I didn't buy it. And this set I have is also pretty good-looking," said An Lingxi.

Seeing Huang Yirong following Qin Yifan, he greeted her: "Miss Huang is here too?"

"Yes, I'm here to help Brother Qin make lanterns." Huang Yirong said.

"Since Sister Rong'er is here, I don't have to do it myself." Qin Yifan said, "My hands are not as skillful as Rong'er, and doing them together will probably only cause trouble."

Qin Yifan ignored the two and walked straight back to the room. He turned around and said, "Rong'er, you have prepared the lanterns for me later. I will cook for you in person."

"It's so good. I can eat the delicious food made by Brother Qin himself again." Huang Yirong said excitedly.

"What a lazy person. If someone helps me, I won't do it." An Lingxi said.

"Don't worry about him, let's do it together." Huang Yirong said.

"But I have never made lanterns before." An Lingxi said embarrassedly.

"What's the matter if you haven't done it?" Huang Yirong said, "I'll do it later, you can help me."

"Okay." An Lingxi said.

So the two stayed in the backyard and made lanterns.

"We need to use a knife to cut the bamboo strips very thinly so that they can fly." Huang Yirong taught An Lingxi while doing it.
