Because the fourth round of competition turned out to be piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!
"How could the fourth round of competition be such a useless thing?"
"Aren't playing, chess, calligraphy and painting all entertainment things?
What we advocate is force, who has no time to practice these useless skills?"
"That's right, I strongly recommend canceling this competition!"
"Only an empire like the Yong'an Empire, which entertains people to death, would respect music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
The princes were indignant and cursed everywhere.
Even the monarch Harudev on the high platform looked a little ugly.
"It seems that she is indeed deliberately promoting the marriage between the fifth prince and Princess Sarah!"
Seeing Harujev's expression, Ye Chen glanced at the high priest Nasim Paduraide intentionally or unintentionally.
Feeling his gaze, Nasim Padred immediately cast a knowing look.
"It's indeed her!"
Ye Chen was even more certain.
When this competition project was just announced, not only others, he also felt a little strange.
After all, the Moon Worshiping Empire, like other small neighboring countries, all people advocated force.
Except for those mundane women who perform arts, no one else even bothers to practice such entertaining skills as chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Therefore, the items in this round of competition must have been added by Naseem Padurad after all opinions were raised.
Its purpose may be to promote the marriage between Nangong Qin and Princess Sarah.
"Since you princes are ready, let's start immediately!"
Regardless of the princes cursing each other, the host immediately shouted loudly, and the bell rang for the start of the competition.
"What a bargain for Nangong Qin, a well-dressed bastard!"
"This round of competition should be specially tailored for him, right?"
"Alas, it seems that the Moon Worshiping Empire is a little biased!"
"Forget it, let's just go through the motions. No matter what the ranking is, the main thing is to watch the final round of competition!"
Regardless of whether they were angry or angry, when they heard the competition bell ringing, all the princes were still unwilling to give in and entered the field reluctantly.
However, most of the princes behaved ugly in this round of competition.
Some princes write like children scribbling;
Some princes were playing the piano randomly;
Some princes don’t even know the most basic rules of chess;
Even if there were a few princes who knew something about it, they looked vulgar in front of someone like Nangong Qin who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
So much so that in this round of competition, Nangong Qin finally truly won in the field that he was good at.
"Tch, boring!"
"Only women can learn things that this prince doesn't even bother to tinker with!"
"That's right, even if we lose this round, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"
"The final round of testing is coming soon. I don't believe Princess Sara will choose Nangong Qin as her consort!"
"That's right. The Moon Worshiping Empire was once invaded by the Yong'an Empire. Allowing Nangong Qin, the prince of the Yong'an Empire, to participate in the marriage recruitment is already considered a great deal of face. If Princess Sarah chooses him, she must be blind!"
"Anyway, he's just here to serve as a foil for us, don't take him too seriously!"
I don't know if it was to find a psychological balance, but even if these princes lost to Nangong Qin in chess, calligraphy and painting, they still did not forget to criticize him in various ways.
Nangong Qin naturally didn't care about this and returned to Ye Chen and others.
"I wonder what the final round will be about?"
Although he behaved like a gentleman in front of all the princes, Nangong Qin couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought about entering the most critical link.
"I heard that the last round is the most mysterious and critical test!"
Li Feng pointedly said: "Which Princess Sarah will be the winner in the end depends on the next round of competition!"
Ye Chen didn't speak, but subconsciously looked at Nasim Padred who was always floating in the air.
As a result, Nasim Padred did not respond at all this time, and he always turned a blind eye to the questioning look he cast.
In desperation, Ye Chen had no choice but to look away.
And soon, the rules for the final round of competition were finally announced in public.
A gift!
Any prince who wants to marry Princess Sarah needs to offer a gift.
Whoever's gift can impress Princess Sarah will have a chance to advance.
After advancing, you need to answer a question raised by Princess Sarah.
Whoever's answer satisfies Princess Sarah will become the Prince Consort of the Moon Worshiping Empire!
As soon as this rule came out, many princes present were excited.
"Haha, luckily I was prepared!"
"I have known for a long time that if I want to impress Princess Sarah, I need a gift that shows sincerity!"
"In order to express my sincerity to Princess Sarah, I took away one of the most valuable treasures of our empire before setting off!"
"What do you mean by that? The treasure I brought is the one that my father values the most. Princess Sara belongs to this prince!"
Those princes who had been prepared in advance were full of confidence in themselves.
Of course, some of the princes seemed to have no gifts to offer, so their faces looked a little ugly.
But no matter how poor you are, you are still the prince of a country, and you cannot give anything.
The most depressing person is Nangong Qin.
Because he is the real breeze with two sleeves.
When he left the imperial capital of the Yong'an Empire, he left in an extremely hasty manner because he was assassinated. In addition, he had never thought of coming to the Moon Worshiping Empire to attend Princess Sara's wedding, so naturally he did not prepare any gifts in advance.
Now he actually needs to give a gift to express his sincerity. Where can he find it at once?
"Your Highness, just be sincere, don't force yourself too much!"
Seeing Nangong Qin's sad face, Ye Chen opened his mouth to comfort him.
"All right!"
Nangong Qin nodded, "It seems I can only take what I have!"
…
As the gift presentation began, all the princes presented what they considered to be the most precious gifts one after another.
Some of these gifts are priceless and extremely precious.
Finally, when it was Nangong Qin's turn, he hesitated for a long time and did not take it out.
"Prince Nangong Qin, don't you have any gifts to give to Princess Sara?"
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, the person responsible for recording the gift list asked.
"Yes, yes!"
No matter how hard it was to face it, with an arrow on the string at this moment, Nangong Qin had no choice but to grit his teeth and take off a pendant he was wearing around his neck.
This is a wrench threaded with a rope. It is like jade and has the word "Qin" engraved on it.
"Prince Nangong Qin, is this your gift to Princess Sara?"
The person responsible for recording the gift list said in surprise.
"Yes!"
Nangong Qin nodded, took another deep breath, and after calming down his emotions, he said: "This ring is not a priceless treasure, but in my mind, it is a priceless treasure!"
The words were quite pleasant, but a burst of piercing laughter suddenly echoed around him.
"Haha, did I hear you right? Such a broken finger can be called a priceless treasure?"
"Garbage is garbage. No matter how gorgeous words Nangong Qin uses to describe this ring, it can't change its cheap nature!"
"The dignified fifth prince of the Yong'an Empire can't come up with a decent gift. It really makes me laugh to death!"
"Is it possible that the Yong'an Empire is now so poor that even the prince does not have a single treasure?"
"He just wanted to fool Princess Sara with a broken ring finger. Could this be his sincerity?"
Not only the surrounding princes, but also the person responsible for recording the gift list couldn't help laughing: "Prince Nangong Qin, are you sure this is the gift you want to give to Princess Sara?"
"good!"
Even though he was a little embarrassed, Nangong Qin still nodded seriously. Regardless of the mocking eyes of everyone, he continued to say sincerely: "My mother polished this ring for me with her own hands. She said that if I get married in the future, let me
I personally gave this ring to my wife!"
After a pause, he added: "I admit that I really can't come up with a precious enough gift for a while. In your eyes, this ring is indeed some worthless garbage, but in my mind, it is
An irreplaceable and priceless treasure!”
Despite his sincerity, the face of the person responsible for recording the gift list turned gloomy, "Prince Nangong Qin, you are humiliating our Princess Sara!"
"I don't!"
Nangong Qin retorted loudly: "I am just offering what I consider to be the most precious and sincere gift. If Princess Sara disdains this and measures sincerity by the preciousness of the gift, I have nothing to say!
"
After that, he turned around and left.
But after just a few steps, a woman's gentle voice came from behind the gauze curtain, "Prince Nangong Qin, please stay!"
