The genius queen, here we come!

Chapter 445 What?

An Lin nodded, "That's right! Concubine Tang please answer the question, and the timer starts, one, two, three..." Alas, there are three kinds of characters that are not commonly used in the Central Plains on this page, how could Miss Tang recognize them one by one.Now, the myth of Miss Tang's winning streak came to an end.

Tang Lin recalled the text on page 410 of the book in her mind. Although the text on that page had a weird shape, it looked like three kinds of text were put together?

"Fifteen, sixteen..." An Lin had already counted halfway.

When An Lin counted to twenty, Tang Lin raised her head carefully, faced everyone, and said loudly: "I see, there are more than one type of writing on that page, there are three types in total. These three types of writing are... ..." Everyone was looking forward to which three words could stump Concubine Hui.

"The order is..." Tang Lin looked at the expectant expressions of everyone, and drew a long tone.When everyone held their breaths and waited for the answer, she said unhurriedly, "Tibetan, Sanskrit, and... oracle bone inscriptions!"

A few people showed shocked expressions when they heard these three characters.However, the reaction of most people is that they don't understand, they don't understand the words in Tang Lin's mouth.

Tang Lin said to everyone: "I believe that people who have read many books will know the origin of these three languages. One thing, I will add here, in fact, these three languages ​​in the book, due to historical evolution, there are other The name exists, it's just that I'm used to using the official name!"

Although most of them didn't know much about the origin of the three languages, they all stood up and applauded enthusiastically when they saw that Tang Lin could answer such a profound and complicated question.

An Lin faced the crowd and shouted: "Congratulations to our concubine Tang, winning six rounds in a row!"

Immediately, applause resounded through the Art Pavilion.

Among the audience, the empress dowager was the most nervous for Tang Lin.Seeing Tang Lin winning so easily at this moment, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Shengjun smiled at his mother: "My queen, the emperor told you that this girl is not simple, you, don't worry about her in the upcoming competition, she will not let you down!"

The empress dowager couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and it showed on her face, "Prince, little Tang is more suitable to be your queen than any girl in the world!"

When Yu Shengjun heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "The empress thinks it's appropriate now? It's a bit late!"

The empress dowager said cheerfully: "As long as she hasn't left the boudoir, it's not too late!"

Yu Shengjun smiled without saying a word, and looked towards the stage.

Concubine Hui walked in front of Tang Lin and congratulated, "Concubine Tang, congratulations, you won the competition easily. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable!"

"Concubine Hui has won the prize!" Tang Lin smiled ashamedly, "It's just that I have been exposed to these three languages ​​in normal times, and I just happened to pass the test today, and it has nothing to do with profound knowledge!"

Concubine Hui shook her head and laughed, she pushed Tang Lin's arm lightly, and said in a reproachful tone, "Just be humble, you, just be humble to others, and be humble to me!"

Tang Lin chuckled frequently, not knowing how to communicate with Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui said in a reminding tone at this time: "Next, you still have six opponents, and their abilities are not simple. Concubine Tang, you have to deal with it well!"

Tang Lin nodded, "Yes! I will!"

"Then I'll go down first, you work hard!" Speaking of this, Concubine Hui looked at An Lin, nodded politely towards him, and after raising her head, said: "Boss An, don't bother you to prepare for the next game It's time to go, I'll go down first!"

An Lin replied respectfully: "On behalf of the emperor and the queen mother, thank Concubine Hui for working so hard to cooperate with tonight's post-election competition. Concubine Hui, walk slowly."

After Tang Lin watched Concubine Hui go back to the concubine's table and sit down, she turned her gaze to An Lin's face and asked, "Next, is it time for Concubine Zhuang to take the stage?"

An Lin nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Tang!"

Tang Lin said: "Then you start to arrange the next game!"

"Okay!" After An Lin nodded, facing everyone, he raised his voice and said, "The next round is the seventh round, and the one who will be on stage this round is Concubine Zhuang! Concubine Zhuang, she hasn't entered the palace yet. Before, she was the number one talented woman who was famous in our imperial capital. She was excellent in puzzles! Next, the challenge that Concubine Zhuang challenged Concubine Tang was a puzzle! Such an interesting link, everyone must have been looking forward to it Bar?"

Immediately, there was an uproar in the audience.

An Lin pressed his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, don't worry, the seventh round is about to begin." Speaking of this, facing Concubine Zhuang, who was sitting gracefully on the other side of the concubine's seat, " Concubine Zhuang, it's your turn to take the stage, you have a quarter of an hour..."

"You don't need to schedule a quarter of an hour, I can go directly to the stage!" At this time, Concubine Zhuang got up gracefully and interrupted An Lin, "It's already the mid-heaven of the moon. It's five o'clock, and the emperor is going to court. Save time... How about this, in the first half, as long as Concubine Tang can answer the two riddles I asked, she will win in the seventh round. If she can't answer, she will lose. And she also asked me two riddles As long as I can answer the question, I can enter the shortlist, if I can't answer it, I will lose the seventh round, and I don't have to participate in the second half!"

Concubine Zhuang's gentle and majestic image fascinated many people for a while.

The empress dowager said to her son beside her: "Concubine Zhuang is worthy of her name—Nie Wanqi, she is gentle, majestic, elegant and decent. The old general Nie had a son, but unfortunately died in the battle that year. His wife died early due to illness. Now, old General Nie, only the little granddaughter Concubine Zhuang is left. Concubine Zhuang's body is full of the blood of the Nie family's majesty and courage. Whenever she sees her, the mother always thinks of Old General Nie! She was chosen to enter the palace as a concubine back then. , because she likes her gentleness, such a woman is in line with the image of a country's queen, and will not embarrass the country!"

Yu Shengjun was sizing up Concubine Zhuang, this gentle and generous woman, he was sizing him up so intently for the first time, and said to the queen mother: "At the beginning, the queen mother mentioned to the emperor that every concubine in the harem except Concubine Han Want to fight for the second place. Concubine Zhuang doesn't look like she is interested in the second place."

The Empress Dowager said truthfully: "It's one thing for her to be gentle and generous, but she hates our Yu family. There is no hate written on her face, but she doesn't think so in her heart."

"Oh?" Yu Shengjun raised his eyebrows, becoming interested in what the queen mother said. "How do you explain what the queen mother said?"

What Yu Shengjun didn't expect was that the queen mother sighed at this moment, "Oh! Speaking of it, it's because the queen mother is too eager to hold her grandson, and she didn't care about Concubine Zhuang's feelings, so she ordered her to be sent to the palace. This child has been filial since she was a child, her parents died early, and only her elderly grandfather was left, but the queen mother sent her to the palace to stay away from General Nie! She hated the queen mother, she hated the emperor, she hated the royal family, and hated the rich and powerful for stripping her of her care An opportunity for the elderly grandpa! For her who has been filial since she was a child, how can she feel better leaving her elderly grandpa alone at home!"

After a pause, the empress dowager said again: "Hate can make a simple and kind person terrible. After taking the back seat, it will be easier for her to take revenge on the royal family."

At this time, Yu Shengjun saw that An Leng had already taken away the two books on the stage, and Concubine Zhuang also came on the stage at the invitation of An Lin.

Yu Shengjun took a look at Concubine Zhuang who was smiling brightly on the stage, and said to the queen mother: "The emperor feels that Concubine Zhuang's heart is full of joy at this moment, and there is no hatred at all!"

"Heh!" The Empress Dowager smiled wryly, and said: "She knows that the harem will be abolished, can she not be happy? At least, she is out of the sea of ​​suffering, and can go home to honor grandpa!"

Yu Shengjun breathed a sigh of relief, "Our royal family is sorry for her. Tomorrow, at the blind date meeting, I will ask my mother to work hard and help this filial woman find a good family!"

The empress dowager said: "The empress mother is out of control. The empress mother has already let Xiao Tang take full responsibility for tomorrow's blind date. Besides, concubine Zhuang has to see the right way to recruit relatives in the ring. Let's not interfere! Fate is destined, maybe Concubine Zhuang's significant other won't be at tomorrow's blind date!"

Yu Shengjun suddenly smiled, and said instead: "Mother, since Linlin will be in charge of tomorrow's blind date, do you think there will be a concubine?"

The empress dowager was stunned, and after understanding what her son said, she suddenly laughed, "That's right!"

on the stage.

Tang Lin walked in front of Concubine Zhuang. She had never dealt with Concubine Zhuang before, but Concubine Zhuang's gentle and generous image made her quite fond of her, "Concubine Zhuang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Concubine Zhuang said gracefully: "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Tang Lin smiled cheerfully: "To tell you the truth, Concubine Zhuang, I usually like riddles. Whenever I see riddles, I can't help but try to solve them. It is my honor to meet a master of riddles today. Wait a minute, please Concubine Zhuang, don't show mercy!"

Concubine Zhuang shook her head and laughed, "It should be said that I would like to ask Concubine Tang not to be merciful. Concubine Tang has won all the way, and everyone has witnessed your ability. It is an honor to be able to compete with Concubine Tang today! , Concubine Tang, you won, I congratulate you! If I win, I will not participate in the post-election again!"

"Huh?" Hearing Concubine Zhuang's words, Tang Lin frowned, really puzzled. "Why? If you have the opportunity to sit in the back seat, why don't you participate?"

Concubine Zhuang glanced at Yu Shengjun over there. Yu Shengjun was talking with the empress dowager and didn't notice her.She turned her gaze back and said with emotion to Tang Lin: "I'm finally leaving the palace. I thank the queen mother and the emperor for planning to abolish the harem. In this way, I can go home and take care of my elderly grandpa!"

Tang Lin said "Oh", "So you don't want to be a queen because of this reason!"

"You two ladies!" An Lin came over and asked, "Considering that there are only four puzzles, this time, we won't light incense. Can we start?"

Tang Lin said, "I'm fine!"

Concubine Zhuang also said: "I'm fine, let's start now!"

"Okay!" An Lin replied solemnly, then faced everyone, and said loudly: "I announce that the seventh round of the competition will start now! Next, I invite Concubine Zhuang to come up with a question! I will count to ten, and Concubine Tang must answer the question." If you come up with the correct answer, if you can’t answer it, then you lose! Concubine Zhuang please open the question!”

Inside and outside the Art Pavilion, after An Lin's voice fell behind, everything fell silent.Everyone's eyes were on the stage at the moment, including Yu Shengjun and the Empress Dowager, who were also watching seriously.

Tang Lin looked at Concubine Zhuang, waiting for the puzzle.She would like to learn how much the famous puzzle No. 1 in the imperial capital weighs.

Concubine Zhuang glanced around, and finally looked at Tang Lin.After adjusting her breath and mentality, she unhurriedly said a riddle that she thought was very profound, "Concubine Tang, "Lovesickness at night", analyze it, if you use this sentence to name an object, what will it be?"

Tang Lin rubbed her chin and frowned, trying to figure out the answer.

An Lin started the counting without politeness, "One, two, three..." After a while, he counted up, "Seven, eight..."

Everyone panicked and anxious, and counted to two more, if Concubine Tang couldn't answer, she would lose the seventh round!The empress dowager promised not to be nervous for Tang Lin, but looking at the situation in front of her, Tang Lin seemed to have no victory at all, how could she not be nervous. "Little Tang, what's the matter, if you don't answer, you'll be so anxious!"

Yu Shengjun was silent, half-closed his doubtful eyes.Since Tang Lin can read Sanskrit, she must be very knowledgeable. How could she be defeated by a small puzzle?But if An Lin counts to two more, she will lose in the seventh round!

Seeing that An Lin had finished counting to ten, Tang Lin was still thinking. This not only made the concubines who had already lost the game restless, but also the officials and family members of the cabinet, as well as the eunuchs and maids of the outer cabinet, and Hou All the guards in the inner and outer cabinets were worried for Tang Lin.
