Chapter 42: Refuse to Perform, Long Live Bad Performance



After making sure there was nothing on his face, Mu Qingyun returned to his seat.

Why are those people acting weird today? They keep their eyes on him.

[Second brother, you must have been mesmerized by the beautiful sister. Don’t you know that everyone is looking at you?]

[However, if you are real, then I will be the first to support you, hehe]

Mu Qingyun's heart was beating wildly. So that's how it was. That's what he said. Why were all the eyes on him?

Unfortunately, this was the first time I met that girl, and it was not what Yan'er said.

"Your Majesty, Mother, I'm sorry that I'm late. I just met a girl and helped her rescue a cat from a tree, so I'm late." Mu Qingyun felt that he had to explain and couldn't let everyone misunderstand him any further.

Otherwise it will damage Qingyue's reputation.

When the Queen Mother and the Late Concubine heard what Mu Nanyan said, they couldn't help but want to find out what was going on.

After listening to Mu Qingyun's explanation, he looked disappointed.

Alas, she thought her son/grandson had finally come to her senses, but she was so happy for nothing.

Emperor Hui nodded to Mu Qingyun, with a rare smile on his face: "You did the right thing. It's good to be able to help others."

Seeing that Emperor Hui did not criticize him, Mu Qingyun finally felt relieved. He was afraid that his father would blame him for coming late.

At this time, the singing and dancing performance ended and a personal performance show was underway.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanzhao Kingdom was not only a festival celebration, but also a blind date event in disguise.

That's why Lin Luoer wanted to perform at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to attract the favor of her lover.

"Now, please enjoy the guzheng performance by Miss Wen Qinglan, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue." Eunuch Wang shouted in a pinched voice.

Wen Qinglan's face froze when her name was called, and at the urging of her family, she stood in the center of the stage.

How come my name was called? I didn't sign up, who did this to me?

I came here to show off, but how come I got caught so quickly? In that case, don't blame me.

After some ideological struggle, Wen Qinglan began to play the guzheng with a stern face.

"Squeak." A sharp sound rang out, piercing everyone's eardrums.

Wen Qinglan didn't pay attention to everyone's expressions and was immersed in her own performance.

“Da da da, sizzle sizzle…” Wen Qinglan played the piano haltingly, and finally completed her debut performance as everyone covered their ears.

The Minister of Revenue had a very gloomy face, and Wen Qinglan was almost scared by him after she came down from the stage.

What's wrong with Dad? He looks so unhappy.

[Pfft, this girl is really interesting. She is obviously a bronze player, but she plays the guzheng with high morale like a king. Look at everyone's expressions of endurance]

[Haha, listening to others play the guzheng costs money, but listening to her play costs your life]

[However, the girl didn’t want to play the piano at first, she just wanted to play badly, but her father forced her to play it.]

[Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner should be about eating and drinking, how can people go on stage to perform?]

Emperor Hui had an unhappy look on his face and didn't want to watch this crappy show at all.

After hearing Mu Nanyan's explanation for the girl, his expression looked better.

Yes, it’s a big holiday, and if you force others to perform, how can they be happy?

Even if someone forced me to read the memorials, I would not be happy.

He realized that the Minister of Revenue Wen Xu was going to blame his daughter, and hurried to rescue Wen Qinglan.

"You are Minister Wen's daughter Wen Qinglan, right? Although your performance style is different from traditional performances, it has a different charm. It's rare that you are so thoughtful." Emperor Hui said lightly.

Wen Qinglan was surprised to be praised by Emperor Hui.

She thought she would be punished by the emperor for doing things perfunctorily, but she didn't expect him to speak for her, so that her father would not scold her.

It seems that the emperor really understands her mentality of giving up.

Not only was I forced by my family to attend the dinner, but I was also asked to perform on stage.

She just wanted to hide in a corner and eat something, and didn't want to be treated like a monkey by everyone.

She was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding me."

She looked at her father proudly, as if saying, Dad, the emperor doesn't blame me, how dare you blame me.

"Please enjoy the following performances," Emperor Hui announced.

What she meant was that if someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to perform, then she could do it. If someone wanted to give up like Wen Qinglan, then she could just watch others perform and there was no need to force herself.

No one had expected such a performance at the beginning. They were afraid that the following show would be as boring as this one, and they just wanted the party to end quickly.

The young ladies waiting to perform looked at each other, and none of them dared to go on stage to perform, for fear of being killed by people's fierce gazes.

Although they have prepared the program for this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala for a long time, if it annoys people, it would be better not to perform.

But there are always people who ignore all this and only want to be in the spotlight and make their loved ones like them.

Lin Luoer is such a person. She doesn't care about other people's opinions and just wants to be liked by Mu Qingyun.

If Mu Qingyun falls in love with her because of her performance, then it will be worth it.

"Who else wants to perform?" Eunuch Wang shouted.

Lin Luoer's eyes were glued to Mu Qingyun, and she looked at him and said, "I want to perform."

[Hey, here comes another warrior. Logically, in this situation, no one wants to be the first to perform.]

[I noticed that she has been staring at the Second Prince. Could it be that she has fallen in love with the Second Prince?]

[No wonder she wanted to perform, it turns out she had other intentions]

[It seems that the second prince has a lot of peach blossoms. I was right again.]

[Looking at this girl's face, it seems that she is the second emperor's bad luck in love]
