Princess Pingyang coughed twice, signaling her maid to be careful.
Then, she looked at Li Xuan and gently parted her lips: "Young master, do you know the answer?"
The riddle stall only requires a 20-second answer, but does not require that only one person can answer.
You can ask someone else for help.
Of course, the twenty-breath time will remain unchanged.
Li Xuan stepped forward, looked at Princess Pingyang, and said with a faint smile, "I happen to have some knowledge of word puzzles."
He had wanted to come up and try it too.
Then he noticed Princess Pingyang standing to the side.
Judging by the timeline, Princess Pingyang has not yet fallen in love with Heng Hui of Qinglong Temple.
It's a rare opportunity to meet here, so naturally I won't let a future tragedy happen.
Princess Pingyang shook her head slightly and smiled, saying, "This riddle is very difficult. Young master, you should be prepared."
As she spoke, she presented the riddle in her hand to Li Xuan.
After taking a look, Li Xuan immediately came to the answer.
He looked at the employees and said quickly, "The answer is: 'A wonderful word'."
After he finished speaking, the employees looked surprised.
He then nodded and replied, "Congratulations, young master, you answered correctly."
Princess Pingyang, standing to the side, parted her cherry lips slightly in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuan answered in less than ten breaths.
And it's absolutely correct!
She looked at Li Xuan with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Exquisite words, how should they be interpreted?"
Li Xuan explained: "Yellow silk is colored silk, which is the character '绝' (jué); young woman is a girl, which is the character '妙' (miào); grandson is the son of a daughter, which is the character '好' (hǎo); mortar and pestle is a container for crushing ginger and garlic, which is the character '辞' (cí)."
"Therefore, the answer to the riddle is a wonderful word!"
Princess Pingyang immediately understood upon hearing this.
Looking at Li Xuan, she couldn't help but show admiration, praising, "Young master, you are truly talented. I admire you greatly."
····················
13. By cultivating the favor of Princess Pingyang and interacting with each other, they won a big prize.
"You are... Princess Pingyang?"
Li Xuan feigned surprise.
Princess Pingyang nodded, her red lips slightly parted, and said, "That's right."
Her identity and appearance were no secret in the capital.
Therefore, there is no need to hide it.
Li Xuan smiled gently, his lips moving as he said, "The bright moon shines on Pingyang, the princess's chastity illuminates heaven and earth; the elegance of the deep palace is beyond the mundane, her fairy-like figure shines among the flowers."
"I have long heard that Princess Pingyang is one of the top five beauties in the capital, and seeing her today, I can confirm it is true."
These words were spoken.
Princess Pingyang was taken aback, her lips slightly parted.
on the one hand.
This is a superb poem praising her beauty.
on the other hand.
It's even named after her.
She was immediately overjoyed and her heart was filled with happiness.
Her almond-shaped eyes, which were looking at Li Xuan, sparkled with admiration and gratitude.
She asked impatiently, "Young master, did you write this poem?"
She was certain that this poem had never appeared before, given her extensive knowledge of poetry.
It is a new poem.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Seeing the princess's radiant beauty, I have gained some insights."
"What? Made to order?" Princess Pingyang was stunned on the spot.
Even a great scholar needs to carefully consider and refine his work before he can create a truly excellent poem.
It would take several months to make.
However, Li Xuan did it casually after seeing her.
This talent is simply unparalleled.
Moreover, the poems were written specifically for her.
Princess Pingyang was very grateful and said softly, "Young master, thank you for your poem. I like it very much!"
As she spoke, she pleaded, "Young master, may I present this poem to Pingyang?"
“Pingyang is willing to buy it for one thousand taels of silver.”
She naturally wanted to take the song that was named after her.
When this story gets out, it will surely become a legend.
To be remembered for generations to come is not impossible.
Li Xuan said calmly, "A beautiful story, if it is tainted by gold, silver and money, is stained."
"If the princess likes it, please feel free to take it."
He wasn't short of money at the moment, so naturally he wouldn't draw a line over a mere thousand taels of silver.
This way, Princess Pingyang will owe us a favor, ensuring we have a chance to meet again in the future.
"Too!"
"This should certainly not be tainted by gold and silver."
Princess Pingyang nodded repeatedly, revealing a charming smile.
Her gaze toward Li Xuan gradually shifted from admiration and gratitude to joy, and a hint of something else.
"Young master, may I ask your name?"
She spoke up first and asked.
Li Xuan replied, "Li Xuan, Deputy Constable of the Capital Prefecture."
Upon hearing this, Princess Pingyang was taken aback and somewhat lost in thought.
She pursed her lips slightly and asked with a hint of doubt, "Young master, with such great talent, why don't you take the imperial examinations and become a constable instead?"
Li Xuan explained, "Although I was well-versed in poetry and literature in my early years, my talent was limited; in addition, I was forced by life to become a constable."
"Some time ago, I suddenly had a breakthrough and gained new insights into the poems and books I had read before. With this new understanding, my talent has greatly increased."
This was the explanation that Li Xuan had prepared long ago.
In the Great Feng world, there have been many such deeds.
In Confucianism, some talented scholars studied diligently for decades, and in their forties or fifties, they suddenly had an epiphany.
Both in terms of ability and talent, there has been a significant increase.
Therefore, Li Xuan's explanation is not too far-fetched.
"I see!"
Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, suddenly realizing what was going on.
At this time.
The maid next to her received a small trinket from the shop assistant.
"Princess, we answered three questions correctly and received small gifts."
She handed over the small pendant she was holding.
"Yes, I got it." Princess Pingyang smiled slightly.
Although it was just a cheap little pendant, I still gained something, which is something to be happy about.
"Thanks to your help, young master!" she said softly, looking at Li Xuan.
Seeing this, Li Xuan's expression shifted, and he said, "Princess, do you want to win the grand prize?"
"Huh?" Princess Pingyang was taken aback, then she understood.
Li Xuan said, "How about the two of us team up and win the grand prize?"
Princess Pingyang's almond-shaped eyes lit up, quite tempted.
