Chapter 338 The Number One Talent Under Heaven

"This question has been answered correctly by Lord Lin. Lord Ashile, do you have any objections?" Ashile shook his head in defeat, and the young palace maid Cuiyun smiled and said again, "Lord Lin has answered three questions in succession, the Goryeo prince and the Turkic envoy have each answered one. Without comparing the last question, we already know who the winner is."

"We must compare, we must compare," loudly declared Lu Dongzan. "Lord Lin's talent is unparalleled. We all want to see how he solves the four riddles posed by Princess Nishang. This last one will make us wholeheartedly accept the result. Lord Lin, what do you say?"

This Lu Dongzan, being a Turk, possessed a hearty and candid disposition. Had the two nations not been at odds, becoming friends with him might have been pleasant. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Brother Lu, you flatter me. The riddles posed by the Princess are something I just stumbled upon and answered. They are not deserving of true praise."

"Lord Lin, I implore you to answer the last riddle as well," said Palace Lady Seo with a sad expression. "Witnessing the remarkable deeds of a remarkable person is something we all eagerly await."

Seeing so many people looking at him with excitement, Lin Wanrong knew that he had no choice but to answer. He smiled bitterly and looked at Cuiyun, saying, "Sister Palace Maid, please pose the last riddle."

Cuiyun smiled and said, "During this Princess's selection for a consort, the first three riddles were all predetermined. Only the last one was personally devised by the Princess. And the Princess will not pose this riddle arbitrarily; only if she is satisfied with the talented young man who has answered correctly, will she present another riddle. Currently, there has been no decree from the Princess, and I do not know if there will be this fourth riddle. Please wait patiently for a moment."

So that was the case! Lin Wanrong was suddenly covered in sweat. It turned out that the riddles were not casually posed, and even if you wanted to answer these strange questions, you might not have the opportunity. You must catch the eye of the Princess, only then will she grant you the favor of posing a riddle.

Whispers spread through the crowd. If the Princess posed a riddle, it would mean that she was satisfied with Lord Lin, and he was sure to become the Prince Consort of Great Hua, his value greatly increased. But would the Princess pose a question? What would it be? Everyone was waiting for that moment to come.
