Chapter 246: Fighting for Win or Loss
Ying Tong was even more angry with Ying Bai, and believed that he was insidious and possessed a traitor.
He usually looks as a humble gentleman in some small places. But when he got the important point, he would not give in at all.
If you don’t let him, you won’t let him go. You must win this horse back with dignity, so that everyone knows that he is not as good as him!
"You should think it is to add an interesting thing to the banquet. There are three questions in total. In the end, more people will get the horse. If there is a draw, then add another question. What does Your Majesty and the Queen think?"
"It's very interesting to hear." The emperor said, "I think about what your three questions are."
"This first question is to give each prince a mess and solve the red silk thread well. It depends on whoever looks at it, and the winner will be decided." Qi Sihe's first question is not a difficult problem. As long as you are patient and have quick hands and feet.
The thing about the mess is naturally clueless. After a while, Ying Tong saw sweat on his forehead.
He is a man who is more brave and has insufficient patience, and he is also more and more anxious in public.
In contrast, Ying Bai is much calmer than him, and is concentrating on sorting it out inch by inch.
Everyone saw this level, and Ying Tong was afraid that she would lose.
As a matter of incense, Ying Bai breathed a sigh of relief and untied the red silk thread.
When Ying Tong saw it, she just rolled her eyes slightly, thinking that it was just a game, let's see what happened!
"The second question is to ask the two princes to feed the beasts in the cage." Qi Sihe said, "They have been hungry for three days and are in a hurry to eat. The two princes can only feed the meat with their hands. Whoever feeds the meat first will win."
After saying that, someone brought in two large iron cages. The cage was covered tightly with black cloth, but there were low roars inside from time to time. It should be a tiger.
"This... this is not true?" Princess Zhao couldn't help but become scared, "If you hurt someone..."
They don't care no matter how good the horse is, the important thing is that his son cannot be injured.
The Princess Chu nodded quickly after hearing this, and she had the same thoughts.
But Ying Tong said, "What's the matter? Isn't there a cage? How can our men in the building be so timid? It's ridiculous!"
After saying that, he looked at Ying Tong and said, "Of course, if someone is afraid of being hurt, you can give up. There is no shame in this. Can a real man bend and stretch out?"
Ying Tong was naturally a little scared, but it was already here, and it was too embarrassing to admit defeat.
So he said, "I am indeed not as brave as my brother, but I am willing to give it a try."
The people also removed the black cloth covered in the cage. They were two semi-adult tigers, with their feet larger than those of adult hands.
The tiger pressed his face on it and smelled the meat through the cage, and he looked a little anxious.
In order to defeat Ying Bai, Ying Tong took the lead in picking up the meat and handed it to the tiger's mouth.
The tiger's tongue was sucked into his mouth. When the tiger's tongue touched his hand, it felt a stinging pain. There was a barb on the tiger's tongue, which made Ying Tong's spine chill.
But he also figured it out that as long as his hand didn't stretch forward too much, he wouldn't be bitten.
Other, it should be fast. The faster the meat is given, the less anxious the tiger will be, and the more stable the mood will naturally be.
He was already more courageous than Ying Bai, not to mention that he was angry and wanted to compete with him.
So, work started with both hands and kept feeding the meat to the tiger's mouth.
Soon he finished feeding all the raw meat. Looking at Haru Yingbai again, he naturally tried his best, but he was still one step slower.
He couldn't feed the tiger's mouth at the beginning and his hand shook off to the ground. "I didn't say it intentionally before. These two tigers have been trained and will never bite people even if they are hungry. Otherwise, how dare you let the two princes take risks?" Qi Sihe stood up to apologize, "Please forgive me." "I understand what you mean. If you said it before, these two children will naturally not be afraid, and it will be difficult to decide the outcome." The emperor said.
In fact, most of the people present had a clear mind. Only when the two princesses were concerned and were confused, would they speak out before the competition.
Two of the three questions have been carried out, and each of them wins one game. Then the third question becomes particularly critical. Unless they draw, they need to add more questions.
"This third question is this box." Qi Sihe said, and took a box from his entourage and held it in his hand. "Who can guess the things in this box first, and who will win this game."
"This must be prompted," the queen laughed when she heard it. "Otherwise wouldn't she guess the horizon?"
"What the Empress said is reasonable, then I will tell you the prompt." Qi Sihe cleared her throat, "This thing is neither yin nor yang, neither single nor double. It can be big or small, and it is difficult to find and hide."
After he finished speaking, everyone began to think.
The two princes also frowned and thought hard based on the riddle.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
"Is it water?" Ying Tong took the lead in answering.
Qi Sihe smiled and shook her head: "Think about it again, Prince."
Everyone also felt that he was wrong. Although water can be big or small without even, it is obvious that water belongs to Yin.
Ying Tong was unwilling to give up and began to frown and scrape his stomach.
"It's ginseng! No, no, no, it's ginseng soup!" After a while, he stood up again, "I heard from the wet nurse that it is difficult for people who dig ginseng to find ginseng, and that thing often becomes the ability to change the essence. Cook it into soup, and a bowl can be divided into several bowls, and a bowl can be combined into one bowl, so how can there be any difference between odd and even?"
Qi Sihe looked at Ying Tong's eager eyes and shook his head: "The prince didn't guess correctly this time."
Everyone also felt that Ying Tong's answer was still a bit far-fetched, and the fact that ginseng became eccentric is just a legend. When will the ginseng they store at home become larger and smaller? ”
In fact, let alone him, the other ministers and ladies didn't guess what was inside.
Ying Tong guessed wrong twice in a row and couldn't help but feel discouraged, but of course he was unwilling to give up.
He looked up at Ying Bai opposite him. He always lowered his head and held his cheek with his hands, but he never answered once.
A lot of things flashed through Ying Bai's mind, but he immediately denied it.
He was not as reckless as Ying Tong, but he was not very smart either.
He was a little regretful at this time. Why couldn’t he be braver in the second competition? Like Ying Tong, he also fed the tiger with two hands in rotation, so there was no need to compete in the third round.
At the moment he had no plans, Gong Changan, who was sitting with him, quietly stretched out his hand and wrote a word on his leg.
Ying Bai's heart moved, but he did not show it to the outside world.
He thought about the words written by Gong Chang'an in his mind for a while, and felt that it was very possible.
So then Shi Shiran stood up and bowed to Qi Sihe, "Prince, I guess this box should be empty, empty means nothing, there is nothing inside."
