The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 495: Couplets and Flying Flowers

Zhen Luosang knelt down in fear and said, "Aunt, Princess, I was wrong."

Shen Jiarou said softly: "Sister Luo, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

Zhen Luosang was touched: "Thank you, Princess."

Zhang Zirou helped her up and stood quietly.

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "Calm down. There must not be any trouble today. You must not let this princess lose face."

Her tone was lighthearted and cheerful, and everyone instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

Mo Wen came to report: "Princess, the wedding procession has arrived at our Fanghua Palace."

Zhen Luosang and others looked at Shen Jiarou who was sitting upright, and Aunt Zhenhua walked in.

"Princess, the prince consort is here to pick you up."

Shen Jiarou said, "You guys have prepared a lot of game shows, go and prepare them properly."

Zhen Luosang exclaimed in surprise: "The princess is right, Youmu, Yiyin, Hang'er, Zirou, Shutong, let's go and get ready."

Everyone is happy: "Yes."

Seeing them leave happily, Shen Jiarou lowered her head and smiled.

"Princess, it's going to be lively soon."

"Aunt is right."

Jiang Ruofan came to the main hall and bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Empress, and the Crown Prince and his wife.

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, to the Emperor, to the Empress, to the Crown Prince, and to the Crown Princess."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, please stand up, my dear consort!"

"I thank the emperor."

Seeing the elegant prince consort, the empress dowager's face was full of appreciation and satisfaction.

"Yes, the prince consort is handsome and talented. His looks and knowledge are worthy of the princess. Yi Yi has good taste."

Jiang Ruofan listened quietly to the Queen Mother's praise, with a slight smile on his face.

"I thank the Queen Mother for the compliment."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Your Highness should call me the Imperial Grandmother."

"I thank the Empress Dowager for the praise."

"Is the Imperial Grandmother the only one here?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the emperor's words. Jiang Ruofan was a little nervous as it was his first time to meet the Emperor. Although he was very restrained and careful, his hands still trembled slightly.

"I greet my father, the emperor, my mother, the crown prince, my brother, and my sister-in-law, the crown princess."

The four of them nodded one by one.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Jiang quickly reminded people.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort and others should go and welcome the princess out."

"Go ahead, Prince Consort."

Jiang Ruofan bowed respectfully: "I will take my leave first."

Under the leadership of Su Ningde, the groom and the groom's group were brought into the bedroom. The door was guarded by Zhen Luosang, Zhang Zirou, Zheng Shutong and others.

"Your servant greets the Prince Consort and all the gentlemen."

Jiang Ruofan raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I am going to marry the princess today. I hope you will show some mercy."

Zhen Luosang and others smiled at each other, and Zhen Luosang stepped forward and smiled.

"Don't worry, Prince Consort. We will show mercy."

Jiang Shiqing and Yang Taobo, who were standing behind Jiang Ruofan, shuddered when they saw the bright smiles of Zhen Luosang and the others. They felt a chill on their backs.

Zhen Luosang clapped her hands and said, "Sisters, are you all ready?"

Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong smiled at each other and nodded: "We are ready."

Jiang Ruofan took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to relax himself.

"Please listen to the question. The first question is: up, down, down, left, right, right. Please give the second line."

Everyone was confused: Is this also considered a question?

Jiang Ruofan pondered for a moment and said, "South, north, south, north, front and back."

Zhen Luosang was stunned: The prince consort answered too quickly.

Jiang Shiqing smiled and waved his folding fan, "Well, I've passed this level."

Zhen Luosang stepped back and Zhang Zirou stepped forward.

"For the second question, guess an object. It's not a whip, nor a sword, nor a gun, nor a hammer. It can both hurt others and protect yourself. It has many uses and can't be thrown away. It will be shortened if you're not careful. Don't be afraid. It's still useful if you modify it. It can also be used with music and drums."

Jiang Ruofeng was shocked. "What is this thing? How can it be so useful?"

Yang Taobo frowned, and after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"It's neither a whip nor a sword, nor a gun nor a hammer. It can protect yourself and hurt others. What on earth is this thing?"

After some discussion, everyone still couldn't come to a conclusion and they all looked at Jiang Ruofan.

"Prince Consort, have you thought of this?"

Jiang Ruofan pursed his lips and said, "But a stick?"

Jiang Ruoqian agreed: "Maybe, isn't it said that sticks have many uses? Sticks can also be used to carry things and as firewood, so they have many uses."

Yang Taobo shook his head: "It shouldn't be. It should be something similar to a musical instrument to accompany the playing of music."

Zhen Luosang looked at him in surprise: Is Prince Yang so powerful? What he said is quite reasonable.

Zhang Zirou began to count: "Three."

"two."

"My dear Prince Consort, this is your last chance."

Jiang Ruofan shook his head: "Please give me some advice, Miss Zirou."

Zhang Zirou smiled and said, "Bamboo."

An official from the Ministry of Rites said in surprise: "Yes, bamboo can be made into flutes and pipes, which can be played together."

Jiang Ruochen nodded: "Indeed, it is a martial arts guard that can hurt others and protect yourself, so it has many uses."

"You're right. We can pick things up to use as firewood."

Hearing the noise outside, Shen Jiarou couldn't help laughing, and Aunt Zhenhua also laughed.

"Princess, look how much fun they are having."

Zhang Zirou continued to ask questions: "For the third question, let's play Feihua Ling, focusing on the specific names of flowers."

Nami and the other four applauded.

"Suddenly, as if overnight, a spring breeze came. Thousands of pear trees blossomed."

Jiang Ruofan quickly took it and said, "I'll come back for chrysanthemums on Double Ninth Festival."

"The plum blossoms are three cents whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms."

"Flowers Poems - Baidu Education Chinese

Zhang Zirou quickly looked at the homework she had done and read out the next sentence.

"It's not that I prefer chrysanthemums among flowers, it's that there are no flowers when all the flowers bloom."

"The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep lane sells apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty."

The officials from the Ministry of Rites began a discussion.

"Who do you think will win?"

"It's hard to tell who will win from this situation."

"That's right, let's wait and see what happens, and quickly think of some poems with flower names."

"Yeah."

"Only the true national color of peony can move the capital when it blooms."

Zhang Zirou started to get nervous: This prince consort is so talented.

"The pear blossoms in the courtyard are bathed in the moonlight, and the catkins in the pond are bathed in the breeze."

Zheng Shutong quickly looked at the notes they made: "Shutong, I haven't read this sentence before."

"No one sees the plum blossoms and bamboos, but the fragrance blows across the stone bridge all night long."

"When we meet, there is no need to rush back, for tomorrow the butterflies will be sad even if the flowers turn yellow."

After reading twenty or thirty poems, Zhang Zirou and the others had already turned several pages.

"After climbing the mountain, the chrysanthemums are still new, and drunkards and poets have no idea about it."

Jiang Ruofan also lamented that they were so well prepared, and he quickly recalled the poems he had learned in his mind.

"April in the world is exhausted, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples begin to bloom."

"The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers in the sun are different."

"When people are idle, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers fall, and the spring mountains are empty at night."

Zheng Shutong was shocked: "Oh my god, Zirou, how many poems does this prince consort have?"

"I don't know either. Yanmen, continue."

"Recipe, Shining."

After more than ten rounds, Zhang Zirou and others looked at Jiang Ruofan and saluted respectfully.

"Prince consort, I and the others admit defeat."
