Lin Xiafeng's face froze, because Qin Qingyao's words sounded as if she was an ambitious woman.
Fortunately, she is a woman. If a man were to be told by her in front of the emperor that he was ambitious and had the world in his heart, people would think she was going to rebel!
"That's not what I meant. It's just the second line of Prince Wu Ling's couplet, which can only be heard by you, Princess. It's a bit inappropriate to match it with my first line."
"Is that so? Then, my dear, can you give me another one?"
Without hesitation, Dugu Yu said, "Today there is a banquet for the king, his subjects and the people. The king enjoys joy, the subjects enjoy happiness, and the people enjoy happiness!"
No one can agree with Lin Xiafeng's first couplet, mainly because her opening theme is too grand, starting with "all things in the world, heaven, earth and man".
How do others respond?
If I were to talk about something grandiose, it would inevitably be inferior to hers, lacking in momentum. If I were to say something of my own, it would easily expose my ambition and give people something to talk about. So I would rather say that I can't match it.
But if everyone were to be like King Wu Ling and his wife, not caring about anything else except the format and rhythm, then they wouldn't be able to do anything the same until tomorrow morning!
Qin Qingyao's face was crooked with smiles. She knew that Dugu Yu would definitely be able to guess the answer, and she also knew that his original second line was definitely not this one.
But the second line he came up with without even thinking showed that he completely understood Qin Qingyao's good intentions of playing tricks and even deceiving the emperor.
Sometimes, being embarrassed or laughed at is really no big deal. It’s enough for you to know your own abilities and your own life.
Saving your life is important!
Lin Xiafeng smiled and maintained a good demeanor, "Thank you, King Wu Ling, for the couplet."
"polite."
He felt that he was not as good as Qin Qingyao.
Lin Xiafeng looked at Qin Qingyao and said, "Princess Wu Ling, I have found this pair. Can I ask you a question?"
Qin Qingyao's heart was filled with alarm. Usually, when others made things difficult for the heroine, it was actually to create a stage for her to stun everyone.
But when the heroine starts asking the cannon fodder questions, they will be slapped in the face or even ruined and unable to recover. In other words, it's time to get killed.
But Qin Qingyao did not admit that he was cannon fodder.
Judging from her current behavior of not getting along with the male and female protagonists, and actively destroying the earth-shattering "pure friendship" between the female protagonist and the second male protagonist...
Damn, she has to be a vicious female supporting role at least!
"What do you want to ask?"
Lin Xiafeng looked humble and asked, "Why is the princess's teahouse called Fenghuaxueyue?"
That innocent look on his face actually looks a bit cute.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall was filled with the sound of people covering their mouths and laughing.
What are the so-called romantic places? They are brothels!
A princess opened a teahouse and named it this way. Is this out of ignorance or intentional?
Qin Qingyao didn't feel embarrassed at all. She raised her little face and looked at Lin Xiafeng without showing any weakness.
"Is this so hard to understand? Wind, flowers, snow, and moon—these four things are all incredibly beautiful. Does Miss Lin have a different perspective?"
The Emperor said, "Princess Wu Ling, I am also quite curious about your name. Can you please tell me how these four things are so beautiful?"
Damn, she really deserves to be the heroine. The biggest boss in the whole place has come out to protect her. If she continues to ridicule Lin Xiafeng like this, she will be ridiculing the emperor as well.
"Well, since Your Majesty has asked personally, how about I sing a song for you?"
"Sing? What song?"
"Romance!"
"Feng Hua Xue Yue" is an ancient style song that Qin Qingyao likes very much. Four days before she traveled through time, she and her classmates choreographed a sword dance using this song at their department's Christmas party.
That dance was performed by eight people, and it wouldn't be enough if it was performed by one person.
But if she doesn't dance, she will be standing alone in the hall singing like a fool. Should she keep time?
Fortunately, I was wearing ancient costume and didn’t need to change clothes.
"Okay, then sing it for everyone to hear."
Dugu Yu's heart was filled with alarm, and Qin Qingyao was singing?
His mind was filled with images of people jumping around in short skirts and bellybands, with fox ears and a big tail...
So when Qin Qingyao stood up, he unconsciously grabbed her hand.
Qin Qingyao thought Dugu Yu was worried about her and was really touched.
He gave him a reassuring look, pulled his hand away and walked into the hall. Lin Xiafeng automatically stepped aside.
Dugu Yu pursed his lips tightly, wanting to drag the woman standing in the hall back home and lock her up, but it was the emperor himself who asked her to sing, and if she didn't sing, wouldn't it be disobeying the emperor's order...
"Which guard brother can lend me the sword?"
After the emperor nodded, the palace guard came up and handed her a sword.
This stuff is truly sharpened and ten times heavier than dance props!
Qin Qingyao didn't hold the sword properly, and the tip of the sword hit the ground with a crisp sound, which caused a burst of laughter.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't hold it firmly."
You didn't just hold it firmly. It looked like you had never held a sword before, and you didn't even seem to know the weight of the sword.
Qin Qingyao cleared his throat and got into position, "Then I will sing the Emperor?"
"Sing."
Dugu Yu, "Be careful."
Qin Qingyao stuck out her tongue at him with a playful smile. Knowing that her husband cared about her, she was so excited that she even forgot that hundreds of eyes were staring at her.
"The wind blows through the mountains and across the water.
Flowers are scattered into mud but they never fade
The snow melts at sunrise and falls white on the eaves
The moon is within reach, yet the world stretches on for eternity."
"The wind is self-breathing and self-generating, disturbing the sleeves and swaying them.
The flowers are swaying in disorder, their jade-like colors are staining my clothes but I haven't picked them
The snow is like a chill between the eyebrows, and the white hair is white
The moon is moved away and buried in the nebula."
"The wind is the shield, holding the tassel and the beacon smoke.
The flower is blood-splattered. Five steps to pull out the corpse and step on the corpse
The snow is so thick that even the horsehide flutters on the coffin lid
The moon is silent and the historian's thoughts are unpredictable.
"The wind is just like the first time I saw it, lingering and pondering
Flowers are the world April drunkenly leaning on the moss
Snow is the stain of the mortal world, the fate of the two
The moon waxes and wanes, but its shadow remains forever.
After Qin Qingyao finished singing, she quickly spun five times on the spot, turned up her skirt, and then did a split. She retracted the long sword in her hand, with the hilt at the side of her ear, maintaining a posture ready to stab.
Of course, she didn't have the courage to point her sword at the emperor, so now the tip of her sword was pointing at Prince Duan!
"Miss Lin, do you think my romantic life is beautiful?"
Qin Qingyao was asking Lin Xiafeng, but she made the group of people who had just covered their mouths and laughed because they had misunderstood their thoughts blush.
It's simply like judging a gentleman by one's own mean standards!
Princess Wu Ling's romantic demeanor is in no way inferior to Lin Xiafeng's "All Things in the World, Heaven, Earth and Man"!
It should even be said that her singing is much more profound than hers. For the same four scenes, Princess Wu Ling managed to sing out different artistic conceptions of mountains and rivers, human world, the world, and even a sense of history!
This is much more profound than only seeing the universe and heaven and man!
The emperor was the first to come to his senses and applauded, "Well done, good singing, good dancing, this Princess Wu Ling is truly a hidden talent!"
Qin Qingyao stood up and returned the sword to the guard. "Your Majesty, this song of mine is to answer your question about the beauty of romance. I haven't even told you why I chose this name!"
"Then tell me again, why did you name the teahouse Fenghuaxueyue?"
"To match the cavalry on the other side!"
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, the Bihua Palace was quiet for five seconds, and then burst into laughter.
The emperor looked puzzled. "What does this mean?"
The Crown Prince said, "Father, you may not know that the family across from Princess Wu Ling, the one with the most powerful weapons and armor, was made public by her family."
Qin Qingyao not only didn't feel embarrassed at all, but also looked up with pride. After showing off their affection again, she was in a great mood!
"Hahahahahaha, King Wu Ling, your princess is truly an interesting one!"
Dugu Yu finally let go of his worries. His muscles were tense all the time, and he was ready to pounce and save Qin Qingyao at any time.
The girl was holding the weapons of the palace guards. Could she be joking?
"I'm sorry to have made the emperor laugh!"
After Dugu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Qin Qingyao, who was breathing a little, and said, "Why don't you come back?"
Did your legs hurt after jumping like that just now?
Qin Qingyao sat back with her skirt lifted up and whispered something in Dugu Yu's ear.
If the lighting in the Bihua Palace hadn't been too dim, many people would have seen King Wu Ling blushing.
What Qin Qingyao said was, "Romance, flowers, snow and moon, that's all I want to do is have a love affair with you!"
Ever since Qin Qingyao returned to Dugu Yu, Dugu Yu's thoughts have never left the little world around them.
He never knew that there would be such a magical thing. He has always been the kind of person who can look at the whole situation and control the overall situation.
But now, he didn't worry about anything at all. He was only thinking about when the palace maid would bring food next time and then pick up some dishes for Qin Qingyao.
Because tonight, Qin Qingyao was particularly well-behaved and refused to pick up any food from the plate.
He put the food on her special small plate, and she ate it slowly and carefully.
Although there were hundreds of people in the entire Bihua Palace hall, he could only see Qin Qingyao. He could easily feel her mood, and when he saw her smile, he wanted to smile too.
Apart from Qin Qingyao, he doesn't worry about anything. Apart from picking up food for Qin Qingyao, he doesn't care even if the sky falls.
Qin Qingyao turned her head to look at him from time to time and told him that the show in the hall was interesting.
Later I found out that he was just drinking and not eating any food, so I picked some food for him.
Dugu Yu ate everything she picked up.
After the dinner, they left the palace.
Nanny Hu insisted on going back to the Yang family by herself, so Dugu Yu hired a carriage to take her there.
Madam Hu returned to the Yang residence with a solemn expression, and she felt very sorry for Qin Qingyao. "Old Madam, you didn't see that group of little rascals, they wanted to dig out their eyes and press them on Prince Wu Ling!"
"If I hadn't been there to stop them, I don't know how many people would have gone to the prince to recommend themselves!"
The old lady sneered. Hadn't everyone previously despised Dugu Yu for his unlucky fate and his heavy sins of killing, saying he wouldn't have a good ending? Now he's become such a hot commodity again?
"You've worked hard."
"This old servant is not tired, this old servant is just worried about the princess. Today, there were so many mysterious scenes in the palace, and the princess seemed to have noticed nothing and knew nothing. I was so anxious."
