Answer:

The riddle was this: “What is the fastest thing? What is the richest thing? What is the dearest thing?”

Rachel smiled, and answered quickly: “Thought is the fastest thing, the life-giving Earth is the richest thing, and love is the dearest thing.”

The king, impressed with her cleverness (and her beauty), eventually overcame his pride and married her, even though she was a commoner. However, as the king was still very proud, the marriage was predicated on the condition that Rachel would never disagree with any of the judgments the king made in court.
