How did he know he was lying?
Emperor Kangxi's words shocked Jiang Ranli greatly. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had said just now.
As she thought about it, Jiang Ranli had a flash of inspiration and she knew where the problem lay.
It must be the birthday song at the beginning. There were only these two modern songs in the entire banquet. He said that he had only heard one song by that "folk musician". Isn't this contradictory?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "In reply to Your Majesty, I would never dare to deceive you."
Emperor Kangxi snorted softly, "Don't you dare to lie?"
"I know why your Majesty thinks this way. In fact, I really have something to hide from you." Jiang Ranli lowered her head and could not see the expression of Emperor Kangxi. She only knew that the gaze from the main seat was as sharp as a knife and as majestic as a mountain. So, she decided to go all out and fight to the death.
"Hide it from me? Tell me, I want to see what you can say."
Listening to the voice of Emperor Kangxi, Jiang Ranli organized her words and said, "Your Majesty must have thought of the first song at the beginning of the program. In fact, I have only heard of "Family Harmony Brings Good Fortune" by that folk musician. As for the first song, I imitated it based on the style of that folk musician. This is what I have kept secret from Your Majesty."
While Jiang Ranli was explaining, he secretly sighed that he was so stupid. How could he have forgotten the Happy Birthday song?
If Jiang Ranli could see the expression of Emperor Kangxi at this moment, she would be shocked, because Emperor Kangxi was not as angry as she imagined, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Did you imitate it?" Emperor Kangxi asked in surprise.
Jiang Ranli nodded and said, "In reply to Your Majesty, it was this imitation made by me. In fact, you should be able to hear that the tune of 'Family Harmony Brings Good Fortune' is melodious, while the tune of the Happy Birthday song I imitated is just a few simple syllables, which cannot be compared with the song of that folk musician at all."
When she said these words, Jiang Ranli's conscience hurt, because she was not the creator of Happy Birthday Song, nor did she think that Happy Birthday Song was inferior to "Family Harmony Brings Good Fortune". On the contrary, the two songs were created with different intentions, and both were songs with their own merits.
"Ha ha...".
Just when Jiang Ranli was worried about whether he could convince Emperor Kangxi, his deep laughter suddenly rang out from the main seat, leaving Jiang Ranli bewildered.
Emperor Kangxi was laughing, so that meant... he had just been tricked?
Realizing this, Jiang Ranli felt helpless. She had so seriously thought that Emperor Kangxi was angry, but he was actually playing tricks on her.
Well, you are the emperor, and everything you do is justified.
Jiang Ranli was like an eggplant hit by frost. She sympathized with her own situation, but was also happy that Emperor Kangxi was not really angry. Otherwise, she was not sure she could convince him and keep herself safe.
"Although the syllables of the Happy Birthday song are a bit simpler, it has a different theme from 'A Harmonious Family Brings Good Fortune'. It is also a good song. You don't need to underestimate yourself."
Listening to what Emperor Kangxi said, Jiang Ranli's lips twitched. Was this a slap in the face followed by a sweet reward?
"Thank you very much for the praise, Your Majesty. Long live His Majesty."
After shouting "Long live!" again, Jiang Ranli made a decision. She would never help others organize birthday parties again and would never show off again. This feeling was so sour that she had no friends. She didn't want to experience it again.
