The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 181 Unraveling the Nine Links (3)
"Okay, since we can't solve it, I will leave the opportunity to the next noble lady." Emperor Xuande became a little impatient, and ordered the noble lady to step down.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Although the noble lady felt a little unwilling, she had to hand Jiu Lianhuan over to the eunuch. She bit her lower lip and left the hall in great disappointment.

Then several noble ladies came up, but none of them could untie the chain.

Xi Zhuqin saw that no one could untie the Nine Links, she was secretly happy in her heart, and at the same time she was extremely confident in herself. With her reputation as the number one talented woman in Hanyang City, she has nothing to fear from a mere Nine Links. She is bound to win today. The position of Princess Xiayan will be the queen of the Western Desert Dynasty in the future, so that all women in the world will look up to her.

Another half an hour has passed, and all the ladies who have been candidates have dropped out of the school one by one. At present, only Xi Zhuqin, Xi Wanqing, and Luo Qin have not tried to solve the Nine Links.

Luo Qin was originally in love with Yin Luohan, but she was also on the list, so she had no choice but to get up and walk to the hall. She slightly saluted the blessing body of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law have the courage to try."

"En." Emperor Xuande responded lightly.

Luo Qin took the Nine Links from the eunuch's hand, and started to untie them deftly with ten fingers. The situation was just like those ladies before, no matter how hard she tried, there was always a link that she couldn't open in the end.

"Your Majesty, my servant is incompetent and unable to untie the Nine Chains." After two or three attempts, Luo Qin took the initiative to return the Nine Chains, and once again bowed slightly to the hall and retreated down the hall.

Luo Qin's voice fell into Xi Wanqing's ears, and Xi Wanqing's eyes followed Luo Qin quietly. She saw that Luo Qin didn't feel nostalgia for Jiu Lianhuan at all, and she sighed slightly in her heart. It turned out that Luo Qin really liked her brother .

After Luo Qin retreated, only Xi Wanqing and Xi Zhuqin were left to try. Xi Zhuqin was sure that she could untie the nine chains, so she didn't hesitate anymore.

"Your Majesty, An Ning has the courage to try." Xi Zhuqin walked down the hall with lotus steps, and performed a standard court etiquette to everyone in the hall.

Emperor Xuande looked at Xi Zhuqin's beauty, with a few smiles on his face, and pinned his last hope on Xi Zhuqin.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress also looked at Xi Zhuqin with smiles, especially the Empress Dowager, two loving eyes fell on Xi Zhuqin, even if she was a royal princess, she never cared so much.

"Your Highness, please." The eunuch respectfully handed the white jade nine rings to Xi Zhuqin's hand.

Xi Zhuqin took the Jiulianhuan, holding it in her palm like a treasure, with a very confident smile on her face.

In the hall, almost everyone's eyes fell on Xi Zhuqin, and Xi Bojian was also staring at Xi Zhuqin intently.

Seeing Xi Zhuqin's demeanor at this time, the ladies who came to participate in the election were all jealous. Now only the idiot Xi Wanqing has not tried to solve the Jiulianhuan. It seems that Princess Yan is not that bitch Xi Zhuqin It must be, what kind of shit luck did a little concubine of An Guo Hou have, first won the infinite favor of the queen mother, and now she is going to marry Yan Wang who is like a god.

Xi Wanqing glanced at Xi Zhuqin lightly, she was not worried at all that Xi Zhuqin would untie the Nine Links, based on her understanding of Gong Xingyan, how could the Nine Links be untied so easily, maybe It's just a knot.

Xi Zhuqin stood in the hall beautifully, and she twirled the nine-link buckle deftly with her ten fingers. At the beginning, she had a plan in mind, but after trying to untie it two or three times, she realized that no matter how she Work hard, there is always one link that is buckled together, and the nine links are simply taking care of one thing and losing the other, and it is impossible to completely untie it.

Xi Zhuqin was a little anxious, but her face was still extremely calm, her head was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to crack it.

The time has passed for a stick of incense, Xi Zhuqin tried various methods, but the result was still the same, there was still a link that could not be opened, she continued to work hard without resignation, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, it was refused to give up.

Gong Xingyan took a sip of mellow alcohol, his eyes fell on Xi Zhuqin coldly, and he said without emotion: "Princess An Ning, do you want me to spend all this time in this hall with you?" ? If you can’t untie it for an hour, do you want me to wait for you for an hour? If you can’t untie it for a day, is it possible that this king will spend a day with you.”

Although Gong Xingyan's tone was extremely light, it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and everyone knew that His Highness King Yan was angry.

Xi Wanqing sighed slightly inwardly, it's not good for Xi Zhuqin to fall in love with anyone, but she has to fall in love with Gong Xingyan, a black-bellied charcoal, and it would be a strange thing not to get hurt, this guy has always been good at irrelevant people and things Unrelenting hands, no good words.

Seeing that Xi Zhuqin didn't get any good results, the ladies who were candidates were all very happy, so what if she was the number one talented woman in Nanheng Kingdom, and what if she was Princess Anning, who was favored by the Queen Mother, they still didn't get the favor of King Yan.

Gong Xingyan's words fell into Xi Zhuqin's ears clearly, Xi Zhuqin's hands finally stopped, and the overwhelming grievance hit her heart, she bit her lip fiercely to hold back the tears Roll out.

"It's An Ning's abruptness. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness King Yan. An Ning has always been interested in novelty affairs. She didn't want to be fascinated by the Nine Chains for a while, so she forgot the time."

Fuck me, hypocritical woman, she is clearly greedy for the throne of Princess Yan, and she also said that she is interested in novelty affairs.

Some girls saw Xi Zhuqin's hypocritical face, although they didn't dare to say it, they couldn't help but secretly cursed Xi Zhuqin in their hearts.

The Queen Mother was deeply afraid that Emperor Xuande would blame Xi Zhuqin, so she said before Emperor Xuande: "Qin'er is the number one talented woman in Hanyang City, and she is more eager to learn. This is also common sense, come soon! Come to Aijia."

"Yes, empress dowager." With the help of the empress dowager to smooth things over, Xi Zhuqin felt a little better, and reluctantly handed Jiu Lianhuan into the hands of the eunuch.

Xi Wanqing knew that she was the only one left who did not untangle the Nine Links, so she got up consciously, walked to the front of the hall, and saluted the people in the hall neither humble nor overbearing: "My daughter has seen the emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager. "

Emperor Xuande looked at Xi Wanqing carefully, his old eyes were shrewd, and he instantly found that Xi Wanqing was different from the past.

"Get up and try to untie the Nine Chains." Although Emperor Xuande had abnormal doubts in his heart, but with Gong Xingyan present, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xi Wanqing replied crisply and fluently, stood up straight, and took the white jade nine chains from the eunuch.

Xi Wanqing held the white jade Jiulianhuan in her hand, and her ten fingers gently rubbed the jade of Jiulianhuan. Her fingertips felt that the jade was smooth and delicate, with a touch of warmth. It was indeed a rare treasure.
