Chapter 444: Tit for tat (1)
You know, in the end times, what Yu Mengqing fears most is wrinkled poems.
At that time, she even doubted those people in ancient times who could compose poems on the spot.
I doubt whether they have such ability.
I didn't expect that all of this was true and existed.
Not only men have such literary talent, but women do too.
Just like Luo Lingjuan, Xue Zhonglan, and Guo Peiying at this moment...
It’s a pity that Xue Zhonglan didn’t get the answer in the end.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing immediately turned her gaze to Luo Lingjuan, and sure enough, she saw that she looked relieved.
If she guessed correctly, Luo Lingjuan should be extremely proud at this moment.
Because she defeated Xue Zhonglan, the talented woman in the capital who was known for her proficiency in both literature and martial arts.
The next target should be myself.
Sure enough, just as this thought came to his mind, he saw Luo Lingjuan raise the cup in front of him and said to Yu Mengqing:
"I've long heard that General Yu is a master of both civil and military skills. Whether he's fighting on the battlefield or composing lyrics, poetry, or dancing, he's unrivaled. I wonder if General Yu would be interested in a duel with me?"
On the surface, the meaning of these words was to praise Yu Mengqing.
But anyone could hear the challenge in her tone.
And the person she just called was General Yu, not Princess Chu.
On this point, Yu Mengqing was determined to compete with her.
But who was Yu Mengqing? Or was she afraid of such a young woman?
She could even teach her sister Luo Lijuan, who was such a vicious person, a lesson so that she didn't dare to appear in front of her, let alone her?
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Luo Lingjuan with a half-smile and asked:
"Excuse me, what's your name?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Tihe Hall took a deep breath.
Especially Guo Peiling, she laughed out loud.
Xue Zhonglan, who was not far away, was in the same mood, but compared to Guo Peiying, she was better and did not laugh out loud.
He just kept his head down, trying his best to suppress his smile.
You know, no matter what Luo Lingjuan is, she is still the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.
Moreover, the few competitions just now were extremely exciting.
When the Princess of Chu asked this, she immediately told everyone that she didn't care about these things at all.
Who wouldn’t be angry if this happened to anyone?
What’s more, she is just a young girl who has not experienced much of the world.
"Yu Meng... General Yu, you were watching all the time just now?" Luo Lingjuan said gritting her teeth.
She even almost blurted out the three words "Yu Mengqing", which shows how angry she was.
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing replied with an expression of understanding:
"But I was just looking at my friend. For a moment, I really didn't notice you. Please don't be offended."
His words were an apology, but his tone didn't convey any apology at all.
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Lingjuan was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Before coming, her elder sister told her that she must make Yu Mengqing embarrass herself at the banquet.
This is the only way to avenge the humiliation we suffered that year.
She and her elder sister have been very close since childhood, so she naturally would not stand idly by and watch what happened to her elder sister back then.
I just didn't expect that Yu Mengqing would be so difficult to deal with.
She doesn't know whether she is good at poetry or not, but she is very good at talking.
What's more, the poems she wrote at the palace banquet are still circulating today.
Even she felt extremely impressed after seeing it.
If it weren't for the fact that she was Yu Mengqing, Luo Lingjuan would have wanted to get to know this person better.
Now that she saw the real person, Luo Lingjuan's first reaction was: This person is just so-so.
Did she think that Yu Mengqing was a supernatural being?
It's about poetry, martial arts, and battlefield.
Now she is nothing more than a woman who only knows how to argue.
Thinking of this, Luo Lingjuan immediately sneered at her.
"Everyone out there says how brave General Yu is in fighting the enemy, but in my opinion, General Yu is probably just good at talking, right?"
After trying to hold it in, Luo Lingjuan still couldn't help but say it out loud.
Sure enough, after these words, the Tihe Hall suddenly became quiet.
"Lingjuan, shut up! How can you say that? Why don't you apologize to General Yu quickly?"
Luo Taiyuan, who was standing by, shouted at Luo Lingjuan in a low voice.
Usually, at this time, Yu Mengqing, the person involved, would definitely stand up and say something that she doesn't mind.
But Yu Mengqing did not do so at this time, but continued to look at Luo Taiyuan with a smile.
She wondered what he would do next if she didn't say those words.
"Dad, do you also think that your daughter is wrong?" Luo Lingjuan said unconvinced.
As she said this, her eyes even started to turn red.
Even so, Yu Mengqing still looked like she was enjoying the show, as if she was not the person involved.
But Chu Shiheng on the side was different. He was full of anger at this moment.
He was unwilling to let his own wife suffer any injustice, so who was this Luo Taiyuan?
He was just a Shangshu, and he really didn't take him seriously.
Thinking of this, Chu Shiheng said slowly: "Sir Shangshu, it seems that not only are you not doing your job well, but you are also not raising your children well."
Everyone in the audience: “…” So Prince Chu was clearly protecting his own people.
You know, Prince Chu didn't say a word during the entire banquet.
The first sentence is to protect his wife.
It is widely rumored that the Princess of Chu dotes on her wife, and it seems that this is true.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Luo Taiyuan, eager to see how he would react.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Luo Taiyuan began to tremble all over. Without thinking, he slapped Luo Lingjuan with a "slap".
"hiss......"
Seeing this, not only Yu Mengqing gasped, but everyone present was shocked.
This happened in public. If Luo Lingjuan was slapped like that, would she still have the face to live?
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing turned her head again and looked at Chu Shiheng angrily.
The words clearly appeared in his eyes: Why are you interfering in a battle between women?
Chu Shiheng: “…”
How could he see the disdain in his princess' eyes? Was he doing something unnecessary?
Yu Mengqing: Yes, you are doing this in vain.
After seeing all this, the Emperor in the palace glanced at His Highness Yu Mengqing and Chu Shiheng's faces. Seeing that they were normal, he spoke:
"Minister Luo, you are too serious. Today, Miss Luo just spoke frankly. Why should you take it to heart?"
After saying that, he looked at Yu Mengqing and asked, "Princess Chu, do you think I am right?"
