Chapter 2: The Emperor Was Cuckolded
Fang Lingchu glanced at her sister, bowed again and said, "I am fine now. Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
In fact, Fang Lingchu didn’t understand why her family members told others that they were not feeling well.
She is obviously as strong as a tiger, I don't understand why.
"That's good."
Then the Queen turned to look at the others and said, "I have heard of the talents of all of you ladies before. Now that I have the opportunity, I am really looking forward to it."
The senior palace maid next to her quickly presented everyone's poems.
Fang Lingchu looked at the paper in his hand. Seeing that it was his turn soon, he could only write casually.
Finish it quickly and turn it in.
Fang Lingyan, who was standing next to her, was almost scared to death by her sister. She was shocked when she saw that her paper was still blank.
The Queen couldn't help but smile when she saw Fang Lingchu's appearance.
Soon everyone's poems reached the hands of the Queen.
Fang Lingchu looked at the Queen [The Queen was quite kind]
The system laughed obscenely twice.
Fang Lingchu heard the system's obscene laughter and asked, "What kind of laughter is that? Are you crazy?"
The system coughed and said, "The host has a big news, do you want to hear it?"
【Isn’t this nonsense? 】
【Regarding your Majesty.】
Fang Lingchu was puzzled. "The Emperor's melon? Didn't you say that you can't read people's melons if you can't see them?"
Fang Lingchu ate the snacks in front of him and chatted with the system in a casual manner.
【I have seen a little bit through the Queen.】
At this time, a voice sounded.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Fang Lingchu was startled by the eunuch's words and quickly stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live the Emperor." The Emperor looked at everyone with a somewhat unhappy expression.
At this time, Fang Lingchu's inner voice sounded again inappropriately.
Fang Lingyan next to her: Their whole family is dead now.
[This is the emperor, he looks pretty good.]
The emperor now heard it clearly. He wanted to find the source of the sound, and the empress in front of him quickly spoke.
"How come your Majesty has time to come here?"
Only then did the emperor react and quickly asked everyone to stand up and sit down with the queen.
The Queen whispered to His Majesty about the sound just now.
Fang Lingchu, who had just sat down, complained to the system again, "Guagua, our emperor is not a tyrant, is he?"
[Wow, host, you are really smart. He is a tyrant, and a super unlucky tyrant emperor.]
【What's the meaning? 】
The emperor and empress were looking at the poems they wrote together, while listening attentively to Fang Lingchu's thoughts.
[I don't know either. I only see that he is an unlucky emperor, nothing else.]
Fang Lingchu secretly glanced at the emperor above and said: [How can you be so useless that you don’t even know about this.]
The system retorted: [Is this just my problem? It's because you can't go out, so I can't eat the red melon and can't level up.]
Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed, then asked, "Didn't you just mention the gossip about the Emperor's harem? Tell us more."
Hearing Fang Lingchu want to eat melons, the system excitedly said: [Your unlucky emperor has been cuckolded.]
Fang Lingchu paused while eating, then asked: [This is the harem, not the outside world, how did you cheat?]
Fang Lingchu's voice was a little excited.
Everyone: Why are you so excited about the news that His Majesty was cuckolded?
The emperor's face immediately turned dark again.
The system said excitedly: [Listen to me.]
[At the time, Concubine Zhao was already engaged. The Guan family had two daughters, and the emperor was asked to choose. Coincidentally, the already engaged Concubine Zhao was chosen. Minister Guan was afraid of offending the emperor, so he packed up Concubine Zhao and sent her back to the palace without caring about her life or death.]
[So, this Concubine Zhao wouldn't be doing something with her ex-fiancé behind the emperor's back, right?]
[Indeed, upon hearing the news of Concubine Zhao's entry into the palace, the man was depressed for a long time and made a decision. He married Concubine Zhao's sister, tormenting her daily. Later, he used his family's connections with the Guan family to enter the palace as a guard, approaching Concubine Zhao, and the two of them became extremely passionate. Then, to protect her lover's chastity, Concubine Zhao pretended to be sick every day and refused to sleep with the emperor.]
Fang Lingchu didn't expect Concubine Zhao to go to such lengths for her beloved, and asked curiously, "Is he more handsome than the emperor?"
[No, she looks very ordinary. Concubine Zhao already has his child. Host, your focus is...]
What’s wrong? I’m just a beauty lover.
"Then shall I continue?"
【continue】
When the emperor heard that it was Concubine Zhao, his face became even darker. No wonder she had been in poor health all these years.
The queen looked at the angry emperor and could only reach out to pat him to comfort him.
Fang Lingchu and the system continued.
[The man she had an affair with was not the one she had always liked]
When Fang Lingchu heard what the system said, he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.
What's going on?
[What else could it be? You've heard of illegitimate children, right?]
So this guy is the child of the person she likes's father?
[That's right, her fiancé was killed by her father and his outside brother when they were engaged, and then the illegitimate son was sent to impersonate him. Who would have thought that the illegitimate son also liked her, and it was that kind of paranoid love]
[Paranoia is something you only see in novels. If you encounter it in real life, it’s best to call the police immediately.]
[Then her sister, who bears a passing resemblance to her, was married off and tortured repeatedly. She's currently locked in the basement. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, horrible.]
Fang Lingchu shuddered when he heard the system say this.
Don’t their families care?
[Her younger sister also likes being locked up. They are both perverts. Her younger sister also likes her older sister.]
Fang Lingchu [As expected, people from the same family are alike.]
[What about now?]
[Right now, that man is preparing to commit suicide with Concubine Zhao]
【Suicide for love? Why?】
[That’s right.]
Emperor: If you want to die, ask me if I agree.
The emperor glanced at the eunuchs beside him. The eunuchs understood and retreated, pointing a few people to go directly to Concubine Zhao's palace.
[That's why I say, your emperor is so unlucky, being cuckolded for no apparent reason.]
[Why do I feel like it's his fault? If he hadn't chosen someone who was engaged, he wouldn't have been cuckolded.]
Emperor: She cheated and she is right.
The Queen looked at His Majesty, whose face had turned green with anger, and could only hand the poem in her hand to the palace maid beside her and said, "Caiqing, read this poem to everyone and see if you are worthy of being the first prize today."
Cai Qing, who was standing beside her, took it with both hands, glanced at it, stepped forward, and read aloud: "Gradually I feel the west wind changing the world into something more beautiful, the autumn bushes around my house resemble those of Tao Yuanming's. If people seek the elixir of immortality, they will only see flowers when the paratha withers. From 'Five Poems on Chrysanthemums' [Song Dynasty] by Shi Zhu."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this poem, especially the crown prince and the second prince who loved poetry.
There are also the prime minister's daughters Su Shushuang and Qin Menglan, who are both known for their talents. Their fathers are both prime ministers, and they have been secretly competing with each other. Unexpectedly, someone defeated them today.
Everyone actually thought that today's champion would be chosen from these two people, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.
Only Fang Lingchu wasn't surprised at all. After all, this was the work of a talented Song Dynasty poet, so of course it was better than these girls'. Oh! She was just a little unhappy. She didn't want to be in the spotlight, and she didn't want to be the Crown Princess.
I originally wanted to hand in a blank paper, but when I thought about the fact that the other party was the Queen, I wrote it anyway. She didn't choose any of those famous poets.
Why!
I'm so worried.
The Queen scanned the room and said, "Girls, do you think this poem is the winner?"
Qin Menglan, the daughter of the Right Prime Minister, was the first to stand up and said, "A well-deserved leader."
The others also agreed, fearing that if they were too late, the Queen would think they had something against her.
The Queen looked at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Miss Qin and Miss Su's poems are both good, so they are tied for second place."
At this time, Su Shushuang mustered up the courage to step forward and asked, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words. May I know which girl wrote that poem just now?"
"It's Miss Fang Lingchufang."
