"Then what happened next? Mo Chuan...how did the Emperor respond?" Shen Ning asked again.
"The emperor's brother agreed straight away. Although his expression remained unchanged, this princess could tell that he didn't know what this casual observer of the monument was. Then...then his expression suddenly changed, and then he left the table and walked away. After he left, the Dong Qin envoy said even more unpleasant words, saying that my emperor brother must be afraid and a coward. I was so angry that I wanted to chop off his head again, but the queen mother stopped me. I, don’t let me say one more word.”
When Shen Ning heard this, she was also thinking about it.
Don’t you know what the Eastern Qin envoy said about watching the monument on horseback? Is it the walking horse and monument that I know
"Since it's a competition, and the question comes from Dong Qin, the envoy should explain the question clearly, otherwise wouldn't this competition be a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for them?" she said.
"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother also asked the envoy the same way. After the envoy heard it, he reluctantly said it. It turns out that this walking horse viewing monument is to set up an inscribed stone tablet in front, and two people ride from the same place at the same time. After running in front of the monument and reaching the finish line, both parties recite the words on the monument. Whoever remembers more words on the monument wins."
I see! It was exactly what she thought.
Shen Ning nodded secretly.
The eldest princess said angrily: "Do you think this envoy from the Eastern Qin Dynasty deliberately made things difficult? How could I still remember the inscriptions on the monument when I was watching the horse race? How fast is the horse? We people can only If you have a pair of eyes, what can you remember with just one glance? After hearing this, I couldn't hold back and scolded the envoy. The envoy from Eastern Qin looked arrogant. He said that since it was a competition, it was fair and square. If we can do it, why can’t we Xi Chu? If we admit defeat, then this competition will be over.”
"Well, what the messenger said is not unreasonable." Shen Ning nodded again.
When the eldest princess heard this, she dropped her hand angrily and glared: "Ning'er, why do you say such things? Are you from Xichu or not?"
"I'm just saying that this method is fair. If Eastern Qin can do it, we in Western Chu can do it as well." Shen Ning said calmly, not surprised by the eldest princess's change of face.
"But how can anyone read the inscriptions on the stele during a horse race? This is a competition method proposed by the Eastern Qin State. The people they sent out to compete must have been trained in advance. I don't know how long they have been practicing. We just learned that Even if you start practicing the competition method now, it's too late! The competition will begin in three days, and there are only less than three days left. Where can you ask Brother Emperor to find such a person? You can't tell, so you can only ask Shao Bai to try it. tried."
The eldest princess sighed and didn't care to blame Shen Ning. She put her hands on her forehead and began to worry about Mo Chuan.
"Is the eldest princess talking about King Chu Shaobai of Jing'an?" Shen Ning's heart moved.
The eldest princess nodded listlessly: "Well, young Bai Bai is very talented. Although he can't have photographic memory, he is not far behind. I guess the emperor's brother will definitely send him to compete, because I can't find him anywhere in Kyoto. A second person appears who is smarter than Shao Bai."
"In this case, why is the eldest princess still worried? Does the eldest princess think that the people sent by the Eastern Qin Kingdom will be more powerful than King Jing'an?"
