Chapter 53: Liu Miaomiao, pour me a cup of tea for the crown prince
Play the harp, harp, and pipa, the eight great kings are here!
As soon as Jiang Feihe's first couplet came out, many Ming officials immediately thought hard about the second couplet.
But after a while, more people looked embarrassed.
This first couplet is a split word couplet.
Each word of "Qin, Se, Pipa" has two kings at the beginning, and there are eight kings in total. The Great Chu Empire has a total of eight enfeoffed kings, who jointly defend the Great Chu Kyoto.
If you want to match this second couplet, the second couplet must also be a split couplet, otherwise you will lose this game.
All officials in the Ming Dynasty looked gloomy, they still couldn't think of the second line.
"I am right: the devil, the four little ghosts are trespassing." After Liu Miaomiao was silent for a while, she said to Jiang Feihe with a relaxed look.
"Huh?" Jiang Feihe's expression changed slightly.
Obviously he didn't expect Liu Miaomiao to reveal his first couplet so quickly.
Each character of "筑魔魍鉉" has a ghost, and the method of splitting characters is also used.
Moreover, four of the eight kings of the Chu Empire had been harassing the Ming Dynasty on the border.
Comparing them to dead brats severely mocked the Chu Empire.
Chen Changfeng looked at Liu Miaomiao in surprise.
I thought to myself that this girl actually has such ability.
"How about it, I'm not talking nonsense." Yao Xiaoren said with a little pride.
Chen Changfeng didn't say anything. Da Chu's envoy Dan Qing Bi could invite Yan Liben. I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple for Saint Jiang Feihe.
Sure enough, Xiang Qingqing didn't even care that the first couplet was exposed.
Jiang Feihe looked a little surprised, but then continued: "I look down upon you, but in that case, let's follow the second couplet of this couplet: The world is hidden in a grain of rice."
"The world is hidden in a grain of rice?" Yao Xiaoren's expression changed slightly.
Although the first couplet seems simple, Yao Xiaoren was a monk before, and the Buddhist world view is three thousand worlds.
A leaf, a blade of grass, a grain of dust, are all a small world.
The world is hidden in a grain of rice. It seems simple, but it actually talks about Buddhist concepts.
If this second couplet deviates from Buddhism, it would be bad.
"I might as well take the initiative to tell you that the first couplet contains the views of the three thousand worlds of Buddhism. If you ignore this in the second couplet, you will lose." Sheng Jiang Feihe actually took the initiative to inform the details.
This is clearly a sign of extreme confidence in his first line.
Liu Miaomiao's expression changed slightly.
Of course she knew the meaning of Jiang Feihe's first couplet.
But I haven't thought of this link yet.
Time passed by breath by breath, and the Tai Chi Hall became eerily quiet.
"Father, are you hungry? Could you please ask the imperial kitchen to cook some porridge?"
"Um?"
Chen Changfeng suddenly asked the emperor if he was hungry, but the emperor didn't even respond.
"I heard that to cook porridge, you have to use a half-sided iron pot. The porridge tastes different and is rich in the goodness of heaven and earth..."
"Prince, are you saying..."
"Half the pot is cooking!"
Some officials were wondering if something was wrong with Chen Changfeng, so they asked the emperor if he wanted to drink porridge.
Suddenly I heard Liu Miaomiao say the second line.
“The world is hidden in a grain of rice, and the universe is cooked in half the pot.”
"Okay, that's right!"
The emperor understood instantly, and Chen Changfeng asked him if he wanted to drink porridge.
Is this guy Emotions hinting at Liu Miaomiao's second line?
The second prince was still thinking about how to respond to the second couplet.
Everyone present was shocked by his knowledge. Unexpectedly...
"Chen Changfeng, you are clearly reminding me, is she right or you?" Xiang Qingqing was dissatisfied.
"Third Princess, there's nothing wrong with you. It's none of your business that this prince is discussing cooking porridge with his father."
"You, Da Chu, are in charge of heaven and earth, but are you in charge of my shit and farts?"
"Liu Miaomiao, well done, fight him to death for me." Chen Changfeng immediately became unhappy and grabbed Xiang Qingqing and started yelling at him.
He gave Liu Miaomiao a thumbs up again.
Liu Miaomiao looked at Chen Changfeng, and she suddenly felt that Chen Changfeng was actually quite cute.
The dissatisfaction I had with Chen Changfeng because of Liu Xiuxue's incident has also dissipated a lot.
Xiang Qingqing was speechless by Chen Changfeng.
This second competition is all about winning or losing.
Even if Chen Changfeng directly faced them and wrote the second line, as long as the second line was correct, it would not be considered a defeat.
Xiang Qingqing just couldn't see Chen Changfeng being like this.
In other words, she, Xiang Qingqing, didn't believe that her big Chu was so well-prepared that she would be defeated by Chen Changfeng alone.
"Okay, in that case, I, the princess, also have a first couplet here, and I also ask you to come up with the second couplet." Xiang Qingqing said in a deep voice, and then continued: "A person was once a monk, and no one can become a Buddha."
After hearing this couplet, Yao Xiaoren frowned.
This is clearly a scolding that Yao Xiaoren, a mere monk, thinks he can become a Buddha? He will definitely not die well in the future.
Another split-character first couplet.
A person was once a monk, but a person is not a Buddha.
When Yao Xiaoren was scolded in public, Yao Xiaoren also felt confused. He had done nothing, so why was he being scolded?
Liu Miaomiao's face tightened.
My father is not in the capital and I am at home, and Yao Xiaoren comes to visit me from time to time.
Yao Xiaoren is just like her uncle.
At this moment, Yao Xiaoren was insulted by Xiang Qingqing. If she didn't fight back, Yao Xiaoren would have to make a fool of herself in public today.
But the more nervous Liu Miaomiao was at the moment, the more she felt that her mind was going blank.
The emperor's face was gloomy, with a sharp flash in his eyes.
How dare this little third princess of Chu dare to humiliate Yao Xiaoren like this!
With Yao Xiaoren's achievements, what's wrong with becoming a Buddha?
"Third princess, just say the couplet, why do you want to humiliate me, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty?" Some officials complained about Yao Xiao.
"Oh, is there any?" Xiang Qingqing didn't take it seriously, with a proud look on his face.
She just wanted to humiliate Yao Xiaoren.
This couplet was originally the first couplet that she specially obtained from thousands of couplet masters when she was in Dachu.
The purpose is to humiliate Yao Xiaoren.
Because Xiang Qingqing originally thought that his biggest opponent in the Ming Dynasty would be the Prime Minister Yao Xiaoren of the Ming Dynasty.
But if this couplet is left here today, it is not useless.
"Da Ming, has anyone come out?" Xiang Qingqing looked disdainful.
Everyone in the Da Chu envoy also looked at Yao Xiaoren with mocking eyes.
Yao Xiaoren's face was gloomy, but he never had an attack.
The eyes of the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers fell on Liu Miaomiao. In today's second competition, she was the protagonist.
If she can't apologize to the couplet, Yao Xiaoren will really be humiliated today.
But Liu Miaomiao felt that her head was confused at the moment.
She didn't want Yao Xiaoren to be humiliated, but the more it happened, the more confused she became.
After half a stick of incense, Liu Miaomiao didn't say a single word.
The disappointment in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers became more and more intense.
The smiles on the faces of the Dachu envoys were particularly bright.
"Who is that...Liu...Liu Miaomiao, give me a cup of tea for this prince?" Chen Changfeng suddenly shouted to Liu Miaomiao in the silent Tai Chi Hall.
Liu Miaomiao raised her head, but made no move.
But Xiang Qingqing's expression changed slightly. She was worried that Chen Changfeng had thought of something again, so she gave Liu Miaomiao another reminder.
"Hurry up, I'm thirsty. You can't figure out what's the use of standing there. Come and pour tea for me." Chen Changfeng suddenly slammed the table.
Liu Miaomiao was shocked by Chen Changfeng's move.
I was worried that I would not be able to write the second line and make Yao Xiaoren humiliated. At this moment, I was shocked by Chen Changfeng.
Tears were swirling in my eyes.
Yao Xiaoren was puzzled. He was about to stop Chen Changfeng from doing this, but Chen Changfeng stopped him first.
Liu Miaomiao walked over with red eyes, and was about to pour tea for Chen Changfeng under everyone's gaze.
"Hey, hey, hey, pay attention, you're already on the table." Chen Changfeng knocked on the table impatiently.
Liu Miaomiao's eyes fell on the table, and she saw two words clearly appeared where the tea had flowed: maidservant. This chapter has been completed!
