The focus of everyone's attention was on Su Jing. If he couldn't answer, then the consort would be Zhang Tao.
Xiao Yueye's heart twitched, and she secretly encouraged Su Jing. At the same time, she looked at Zhang Tao's eyes with a trace of murderous intent. He knew very well what was going on in the third level, but he couldn't help it and could only apologize.
Murong Liuyun sat high on the stage, looking at Su Jing who was thinking hard, and sighed secretly. In full view of everyone, he had already given Su Jing a lot of time. It seemed that Zhang Tao had won.
At this moment, Su Jing opened his eyes suddenly, and a flash of light passed away quietly. With a faint smile, he quickly wrote down the answer, and then raised it up with Zhang Tao.
"South China Sea pearl chain, yes, all the answers are correct. Get ready for the next question."
Many people in the audience exhaled in unison. After everyone reacted, they realized that they had unconsciously broken into a cold sweat for Su Jing.
Zhang Tao smiled at Su Jing and then paid attention to the questions.
"This question is, what kind of pattern is engraved on the jade pendant around Xiu'er's waist?"
The topic is getting more and more tricky. If the bead chain just now was barely noticed, then this jade pendant is even more difficult to remember.
Su Jing and Zhang Tao fell into deep thought again, racking their brains to recall the previous scene and all the details. But it has been at least a quarter of an hour since Murong Xiu finished dancing, and the short memory has been blurred and almost disappeared.
Everyone in the audience was whispering to each other, but no one could remember what the jade pendant looked like. At this time, Xiao Yueye's wisdom showed. He had arranged in advance to block Murong Xiu with a screen, thus nipping any possible cheating behavior in the cradle.
Except for Murong Liuyun, Xiao Yueye, and Murong Xiu himself, no one in the audience knew the style of the jade pendant.
The difficulty of this question is really too high. Judging from the veins popping out of Su Jing and Zhang Tao's foreheads, they are mentally damaged at the moment. In medicine, there is a saying that when a person's physical strength is exhausted, he can slowly recover. But if this energy is exhausted, I'm afraid I will become an idiot.
The hearts of everyone present were clenched once again.
Zhang Tao slowly opened his eyes, thought for a while, and then hesitantly started writing. But after he finished writing, he rubbed it off and started writing again. This happened over and over again, at least nearly ten times. It can be seen that his mind was also fuzzy and he could not remember anything.
Su Jing, on the other hand, also opened his eyes, but held the pen still, staring straight at the rice paper, not knowing what he was thinking.
Murong Liuyun was not in a hurry and drank a cup of tea leisurely while waiting for the two of them to write their answers.
Zhang Tao let out a breath, as if he had made up his mind, and wrote his answer in a few strokes without revising it. Su Jing also started writing at the same time.
"Okay, it seems you all have the answers. Hold them up for me to see. Zhang Tao's is the Jade Guanyin, and Su Jing's is, eh, no jade pendant?" Murong Liuyun's tone rose, full of disbelief, which made people stunned. I felt that Su Jing might have lost his mind. But no one noticed the smile in Murong Liuyun's eyes.
"Su Jing, you said, Xiu'er doesn't have a jade pendant on her body? What does this mean?"
"Back to the emperor, the princess is not wearing a jade pendant at all, so how can she tell about the style?" Su Jing said calmly, with a firm tone without any hesitation.
Zhang Tao glanced at him and frowned, his eyes flashing as if he was recalling something.
Murong Liuyun looked at the two of them closely, and suddenly smiled: "Let Xiu'er come out, and you can see who is right and who is wrong! Xiu'er, come out!"
Several young eunuchs hurriedly moved away the screen, and Murong Xiu, who had been nervous inside, slowly walked out with a bright smile, and stopped in front of Su Jing and Zhang Tao with infinite demeanor.
Seeing her smile, Su Jing knew that he had guessed correctly. Zhang Tao looked at Murong Xiu's waist and his expression changed drastically.
No jade pendant!
There really is no jade pendant!
Zhang Tao turned to look at Su Jing in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Su Jing's memory could be so good.
Naturally, the whole place was in an uproar again. Zhang Dehai sighed deeply and glanced at Song Chuan and Mo Zhiqi each.
Murong Xiu smiled shyly but happily at Su Jing, then faced the officials and turned around gracefully.
"My dear friends, you have also seen clearly that there is no jade pendant on Xiu'er's body. Therefore, Su Jing wins this level."
"Great! Great! Su Jing has won, Su Jing has won, Xiaoye, did you see, Su Jing has won!" As soon as Song Hu heard Murong Liuyun's words, he screamed excitedly and drooled. Squirted everywhere. In order to avoid disaster, Xiao Yueye could only take two steps back. But his face was full of smiles, looking at Su Jing and Murong Xiu in the center of the field.
However, things will not end so easily. Xiao Yueye sighed softly in her heart, Su Jing, there is still one more hurdle for you!
Only at the third level can you convince everyone present that they will have no objections to your marriage.
Murong Xiu looked back and smiled, then returned to her seat happily, waiting for Murong Liuyun to announce her marriage. Many young officials who were good friends with Su Jing cheered. Even Zhang Tao walked over gracefully and extended his right hand to Su Jing.
"congratulations."
Su Jing smiled heartily: "Thank you."
Zhang Tao glanced at Murong Xiu: "You and the princess are in love, right? I can see it from your eyes."
A wise man speaks with ease. Su Jing didn't hide anything and nodded in acknowledgement.
Zhang Tao stretched out: "If I had known this, why would I have to suffer so much to win someone else's beauty? But Mr. Su, you are worthy of Zhang's admiration. I hope we will not be enemies in the future."
"I think we may not be enemies." Su Jingye said thoughtfully.
Amidst the cheers, an old minister with white beard slowly walked to the center and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the rule set by the Emperor was that only the one who wins three levels in a row can become the Prince Consort. Although Mr. Su won the other Two people, but there is still this third level, please let the emperor decide."
The scene suddenly became quiet.
There was no trace of surprise on Murong Liuyun's face. He naturally knew that this matter would not be so easy. Even if the other two people are eliminated, Mo Zhiqi and Zhang Dehai will never let Su Jing become the consort so easily.
The first two levels depended entirely on level. Their people lost and had nothing to say. But there is still one more level. According to what the emperor said before, if Su Jing cannot pass the third level, then the position of Prince Consort will not be Su Jing's turn.
In other words, we still don’t know who will win. It's too early for you to laugh.
Thinking of the third level, Murong Liuyun's face became a little gloomy, and a hint of hidden worry appeared in his eyes. He waved the old minister to stand up, looked at the officials and said: "As Hao Aiqing said, Su Jing still has to pass the third level before he can become the consort of my Murong Dynasty. But the second care was too much, I Su Aiqing was allowed to rest for a quarter of an hour. At the same time, Zhang Aiqing also asked me to tell him my will and reward him with a thousand taels of gold."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
In this short quarter of an hour, it is simply impossible to regain consciousness. But this time is just right for the three Xiao Yueye brothers to have a good chat.
"Xiaoye, what is the content of the third level below? Can you tell me?" Song Hu asked eagerly.
Xiao Yueye did not answer, but looked at Su Jing with some confusion on her eyebrows: "Su Jing, do you really remember this last question?"
No wonder he thought so. Su Jing's previous performance was becoming more and more difficult. Is there no reason why he can remember the last question so clearly? Moreover, when Xiao Yueye asked the question, he had a small psychological hint, that is, the question was in the presence of a jade pendant. Most people will not doubt whether the jade pendant exists, but will try their best to recall the style of the jade pendant.
But Su Jing said so confidently that he didn't have a jade pendant, which really puzzled Xiao Yueye.
Su Jing smiled calmly, the fatigue between his brows could not hide the joy in his eyes: "Actually, I didn't notice the jade pendant or not at all, but I know one thing."
"What's up?"
"Xiu'er never wears a jade pendant around her waist." Su Jing smiled happily, with happiness and pride in her eyes. The reason why he was able to win was due to his familiarity with Murong Xiu. After all, Murong Xiu had stayed in Shuiyun Province for so long. The two of them got along day and night and were very familiar with some of each other's habits.
Murong Xiu had a habit. She never liked wearing jade pendants around her waist because it would make her feel very uncomfortable.
"That's it." Xiao Yueye suddenly realized.
Song Hu opened his mouth and punched Su Jing hard: "You kid, you stepped on dog shit. That Zhang Tao lost unjustly."
Su Jing smiled and said nothing. He was quite tired now, and the forced memories made him groggy. But there is a third level, and based on the previous level, this third level may not be easy.
However, this question came from Xiao Yueye, which made Su Jing feel angry and resentful, but also felt lucky.
Song Hu couldn't figure it out, how could Su Jing not figure it out? Although Xiao Yueye's questions were extremely perverted, it was undeniable that they successfully swallowed up all objections. Because the previous two levels were fair and just.
Of course, there are also parts that favor Su Jing.
For example, in the first level, Su Jing is a child from a small county. He has been struggling with Xiao Yueye and others since he was a child. He is far less afraid of disgusting things than Mo Hangyu.
As for the second level, if I hadn't paid attention to Murong Xiu for a moment, with my memory, I wouldn't have won so hard.
And Su Jing believed that Xiao Yueye must be prepared for any eventuality. Otherwise, he would never say that he had to pass three tests before he could become the consort. Based on Su Jing's understanding of Xiao Yueye, this third level is more of a retreat than a test. A retreat that can make both Mo Hangyu and Zhang Tao lose at the same time when Su Jing loses.
Therefore, this level is definitely not easy. (Quanben Novel Network www.QuANbEn-XiAoShUo.com)
