Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2083 - 493: Chen Jie: How Could I Possibly Hit My Father-in-law?

Then, everyone followed Chen Jie and filed in.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Reception Hall, the Commandery Princess’s maid, Qing Zhu, rushed in hurriedly. As soon as she saw Zhao Ya wearing a bright red bridal attire and a veil on her head, sitting on the bed, Qing Zhu dashed over and promptly said to Zhao Ya, "There’s news, there’s news, My Princess."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya immediately asked, "What, what happened?"

After listening, Qing Zhu spoke, "The Young Prince set up three passes at the entrance, and the first pass is to test the groom’s literary skills."

"Literary skills?"

Zhao Ya was taken aback, and then said, "I’m not marrying the top scholar; what are they testing him for? My brother is deliberately making things difficult for Jiusi."

Hearing Zhao Ya’s grievance, Qing Zhu dared not speak, but she thought to herself that her lady was already Jiusi’s person. The Old Prince and Young Prince insisted on this test; it’s certainly redundant.

But perhaps it’s to satisfy their pride.

Thinking this, Zhao Ya asked, "What’s the result?"

Qing Zhu replied, "The groom passed with flying colors. The Young Prince prepared two questions, and the first question was a poem set by the School Principal of Longxing Prefecture. The theme was one, two, three, four..."

"And the groom used only one-third of an incense stick’s time, performed a set of saber techniques, and composed a poem. Everyone outside is saying our groom is a Poetry Immortal descending to earth; in ancient times, there was Cao Zhi composing a poem in seven steps, and now our groom composing a poem with a blade!"

Zhao Ya heard this, and her face was full of irrepressible smiles, and she said, "It’s not that impressive; don’t just listen to people’s exaggerated praises. Jiusi’s poem at best can be considered rhyming, with little profoundness, certainly unable to become a timeless masterpiece."

Qing Zhu responded, "Princess, your expectations for the groom are too high. You can’t assume any random poem to be a timeless classic!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya laughed, "Yes, yes, what you say isn’t wrong; indeed, I have set the bar too high."

Qing Zhu continued, "Actually, the most interesting was the second question."

"The Young Prince found a Couplet King from Lingnan, called The Piercing Strike, who then presented an upper verse to test our groom: Spring reading, Autumn reading, Spring and Autumn reading the Spring and Autumn."

Zhao Ya said, "That’s repetitive word art; this couplet is rather challenging. Deservedly the work of the Couplet King."

"How did Jiusi respond?"

Qing Zhu said, "Haha, our groom is too amazing; as soon as the Couplet King finished presenting the couplet, our groom responded immediately, giving sixteen lower verses at once."

"How many?"

Zhao Ya was dumbfounded; the number was astonishing. Qing Zhu said, "Sixteen, no less than sixteen, and at the scene, The Piercing Strike was so embarrassed that he spurted blood; the scene was quite comical."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Haha, Jiusi is really impressive. By the way, where is he now?"

Qing Zhu answered, "He has already entered the main door, ready to face the second pass."

Upon hearing about the second pass, Zhao Ya’s face showed some concern, "Father is really being unreasonable, making such tests on a joyous day. If a real fight breaks out, what happens?"

Qing Zhu said, "It should be fine; after all, the Prince wouldn’t really stop the groom from marrying the Commandery Princess; he might just want to preserve his dignity."

Zhao Ya said, "Alright, you go ahead and watch out for me!"

Qing Zhu responded, "Yes, Princess."

Then she directly ran to the front to help Zhao Ya watch over the proceedings.

Meanwhile, in the front yard, Chen Jie led a large group of wedding party members into the courtyard. At the center, the Ruyang King sat astride in a Taishi Chair, looking challengingly at Chen Jiusi.

Today, I must curb this young man’s arrogance.

Thinking this, he looked at Chen Jie, who, looking at his difficult father-in-law, cupped his fists and said, "Jiusi greets Father-in-law!"

"Oh, don’t call me that just yet!"

The Ruyang King directly said to Chen Jie. Confused by this, Chen Jie then looked at his father-in-law, saying, "Father-in-law, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Wang Baobao said, "Jiusi, this is the second test question."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was puzzled, unsure what the second test question entailed.

At this time, the Ruyang King spoke, "The second test question is simple; you Han people all call your father-in-law ’Taishan Lord,’ and I heard someone say sincere devotion can move Taishan."

"Today, I am testing you, Chen Jiusi. Since I am like Taishan, use your sincerity to move me. If you can make me get up from this chair, you pass the test!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished, realizing that this seemingly simple challenge was, in fact, incredibly difficult.

Getting the Ruyang King to rise from the chair—you better be careful; he’s the Ruyang King, a Heavenly List Strong Person, a Melt God First Turn figure. With such prowess, making him stand from the chair is akin to climbing a mountain.

At this moment, Wang Baobao also added, "Oh, Jiusi, today is your joyous day; you mustn’t smash things around. This chair shouldn’t be shattered, and we won’t damage it either. This round tests your literary and martial pair excellence, Chen Jiusi."

After saying this, everyone present fell silent, realizing if the Ruyang King refused to get up, no one could forcefully make him rise.

This was very difficult to handle.

Chen Xiaohu heard this, looked around, and said, "Old Zhou, Bai, the three of us could rush up and lift the Ruyang King; doesn’t that solve it?"

Upon hearing Chen Xiaohu’s words, Zhou Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Hu Zi, stop patting yourself on the back; with us three, you’re the strongest at Molten Furnace Realm, but in the eyes of the Lord, you’re just a bigger ant. How could you even think of getting close to the Prince?"
