"Hehe, Princess Lina, you don't look very good."
Chaoge smiled sarcastically, raised his eyes and shook his head at Princess Lina. Concubine Qing lowered her eyes slightly, expressionless, but in fact, after being shocked, she had been trying to hold back her laughter!
It turns out that her daughter-in-law is really a hidden talent, holding back on some big moves. Poor some people, they are about to fall into the trap of her little pigeon!
As soon as Chaoge said this, Princess Lina's face turned pale. The image she had maintained in front of everyone for many years was instantly shattered by Chaoge!
She was indeed a little impatient just now, but the words had already been spoken and it was impossible to take them back. There was only one way to go!
"What do you mean? Don't think that just because you cheated and wrote a poem like this, you are the winner today. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. You put down your pen in less than half a cup of tea. Didn't you prepare in advance?"
"I said I didn't, but you don't believe me. What can I do? For example, some people think they have reached the top, but they don't want to believe that there are people standing in the sky above them, looking down at them."
“Puff!”
Liang Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing out loud accidentally.
Who asked Princess Lina, who has been adored by everyone in the Beijing noble circle for so many years, to be like a defeated rooster, completely defeated?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I just couldn't help it.
But to be honest, I am sixteen years old, and I have been attending various banquets with my mother since I was five years old, but I have never seen anyone as amazing as Miss Yun, who can write such a good poem so quickly and amaze everyone, so I think my vision is too narrow. It seems that everything is not absolute. Princess Lina, if you really don’t believe it, what can I do? Why should I listen to you and write a poem in ten steps?"
Liang Yuanyuan is the second legitimate daughter of a first-rank official. Although she does not have a title like Princess Lina, her status is definitely not low. Even in the future, she is qualified to marry a prince and become the crown princess or queen.
Therefore, he never had the slightest awe towards Princess Lina. Instead, he had long been disgusted with Princess Lina's self-righteous attitude.
Today, Princess Lina was ignorant of life and death, and challenged Chaoge's bottom line again and again. Every time she set up a battle formation, her embarrassed look made her feel happy!
"Yuanyuan, the princess is also a guest, don't do this."
The Prime Minister's wife deliberately put on a stern face, and as soon as Liang Yuanyuan finished speaking, she pretended to be angry and scolded her.
Liang Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue, made a nonchalant "hmm" sound, and said nothing more, but the smile on her face never faded.
"Oh, if you don't dare to do it in public, then you are guilty. Why are you still quibbling?"
Seeing her own daughter being targeted, Princess An also lost her temper. Now it was no longer a question of whether her daughter would please the Concubine Dowager, but her daughter's reputation as a talented woman was being trampled underfoot, which was a humiliation.
Since it was a matter of dignity, Princess An ignored the presence of Concubine Dowager Qing and continued to target Chaoge!
Moreover, in her opinion, exposing the truth about Chaoge's cheating would also be an opportunity for Concubine Qing to see Chaoge's true face.
"Forget it. You guys just want me to write a poem on the spot, right? Ten steps?"
"Yes! Do you dare to compose a poem in ten steps? If you dare, I will compete with you!"
Hearing this, Chaoge stood up immediately and started clapping!
"That's great. I'm happy to have the princess accompany me. In this case, can this be considered a competition?"
"Calculate!"
Chaoge nodded, "Since the poetry contest between us is considered a competition, there must be a prize. If there is no prize, why should I listen to you? I have to prove it to you."
Seeing Chaoge like this, Princess Lina suddenly felt that Chaoge had a conspiracy.
She really didn't expect Chaoge to dare to agree!
She was deliberately provoking Chaoge so that Chaoge would not dare to agree!
So would she really do that?
"What do you want to win?"
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. At this point, Princess Lina had no way to retreat. She could only ask carefully. Looking at Chaoge, her eyes were filled with coldness and a hint of vigilance.
Hearing this, Chaoge rubbed his temples and suddenly his eyes lit up!
"How about this, between the two of us, if one of us loses, he or she will run ten laps around the inner city with a sign written by the winner. The sign must be big, at least as wide as a ruler and one foot high! And it must be hung on the chest and back, and it must say, I, An Lina, was defeated by Yun Chaoge, I, An Lina, wasted my reputation and pretended to be a talented woman, I, An Lina, overestimated my own abilities, looked down on everyone, and lost with a clear conscience! Wait, anyway, whoever wins will write..."
“Puff!”
“Hahahahahaha!”
"Yun Chaoge, you are going too far!"
Concubine Qing, who had been holding back for too long, could no longer hold back and, together with Liang Yuanyuan, burst out laughing again. Adding to the laughter of Lanxiang and Xiang, the whole flower hall suddenly became filled with an angry and weird atmosphere!
Princess An was the first one who couldn't sit still. She jumped up, pointed at Chaoge's nose, and cursed loudly and angrily!
But she didn't expect that when she scolded Chaoge, not only no one in the audience helped her, but Concubine Qing and two servants actually laughed out loud on the spot!
"Oh, sorry, I couldn't hold it back, but you are too mean, little pigeon. What if you lose? Lina has been carefully trained by Princess An since she was a child. You grew up in the countryside, so you may not win."
After saying that, Concubine Qing looked at Princess An again. She tried to hold back, but once she spoke, she couldn't suppress the smile in her tone and said, "Princess An, you too, why are you in such a hurry? Little Pigeon said that this would happen only if Lina lost. Hasn't the competition started yet? Don't you still believe in your daughter's talent? Maybe the one with the sign is Little Pigeon? It's too early for you to get excited."
The concubine said it on purpose, and she understood that their little pigeon must have the ability to dare to do so!
But she couldn't let Princess Lina know, so she had to tell the story of Chaoge's birth in person so that Princess Lina would think that she had a chance of winning.
As expected, when Concubine Qing said this, Princess Lina, who was almost fainted from anger, suddenly seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Yes, even Concubine Qing was advising Chaoge. Does that mean Chaoge is not as powerful as she appears to be?
How could Yun Chaoge, a peasant born in the countryside, compare with someone of noble birth like her?
"I have no choice. It was Princess Lina who insisted on the competition. Since I've been bullied to such an extent, I have no choice but to give it my all. If I really lose, I'll just run around the inner city ten times with a sign on my head! I'll accept the loss! Anyway, I was born in the countryside, so I have a thick skin!"
