Chapter 32 I'm embarrassed
Mo Huaiqing immediately approached the crown prince and whispered, "Your Highness, why don't we let everyone form pairs? Everyone can participate."
The prince's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Okay, Huai Qing, you are my concubine, so you will come up with the first couplet and let the ladies below match it. How about it? If they match it well, you can get a reward from me."
Mo Huaiqing was instantly overjoyed. She had come prepared. She thought that if she came up with the first line of a couplet and no one else could match it, or if the match was not good enough, then she would be able to snatch back the game of playing the piano from Mo Yunzhu.
"Okay." Mo Huaiqing stood up and walked to the front center, saying with a smile, "His Highness asked me to come up with the first couplet, and everyone will come up with the second couplet. If you come up with a good one, His Highness will reward you."
Everyone below knew that Mo Huaiqing was already the designated concubine of the Crown Prince, so they didn't say anything more.
Mo Huaiqing smiled and said, "The first line is 'Mist locks the mountain top and the mountain locks the fog'. Please answer the second line."
Suddenly there was a lot of noise below, with everyone discussing how to come up with the second line of the couplet. Mo Huaiqing stood there looking at the group of people below, making her feel like the mother of the world.
She turned to look at Mo Yunzhu, who saw her and said with a smile, "Sister, you are looking at me, aren't you thinking about me?"
The prince was about to say no, but Mo Huaiqing said directly: "Sister, this is just a game, anyone can participate, Your Highness, don't you think it's more lively with more people?"
"Of course." The prince could only agree. In his heart, he was very angry at Mo Huaiqing for bullying his sister Mo Yunzhu. He knew that Mo Yunzhu was not capable of these things, yet he still let her do it.
At this time, someone raised his hand.
"Fog locks the top of the mountain, and the mountain locks the fog. Fog surrounds the mountainside, and the mountain surrounds the fog." The one who responded was Ye Yuqing, the granddaughter of the Minister of Works.
"Okay, not bad." Someone clapped, making Ye Yuqing smile shyly.
"Fog locks the mountain tops, frost freezes the eaves." Dai Yaohe, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, also responded, her eyes looking directly at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince smiled at her, and Dai Yaohe immediately smiled coquettishly and glanced at Mo Huaiqing.
"Good, good, better than Miss Ye, fog versus frost." Someone immediately commented.
Chen Xiner suddenly stood up and said, "Let me try. Mist locks the mountain tops and the mountain locks the mist. Frost freezes the stone corners and the stone freezes the frost."
"Haha, Miss Chen is right. You can draw inferences from one example."
This time, everyone became active and came up with a long string of matches, but none of the ones who came after him were as good as Dai Yaohe's.
Dai Yaohe is very good-looking. Today she is wearing a plum-red dress, looking like a lady from a noble family. She also enjoys everyone's compliments.
"Okay, now it looks like Miss Dai is leading the way. Is there anyone else who wants to come up with a couplet?" Seeing that no one else was continuing, Mo Huaiqing took over the conversation. Suddenly, she turned to look at Mo Yunzhu and said, "Sister, didn't you say you wanted to have some fun too? Then just come up with a couplet."
Mo Yunzhu felt amused in her heart, this woman was really insidious, she wanted to embarrass her in public and yet she could claim that she was taking good care of her playful sister.
The people below were all very surprised, but soon everyone started to think it was a joke.
"Okay, since my sister insists, I'll also come up with a couplet. If I win, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give me a gift?"
Mo Yunzhu looked at the two of them with a smile.
The prince actually wanted Mo Yunzhu to win, but even if she won, she would never be the crown princess, and no one else could compare to her. That didn't mean he had missed a good crown princess, and it would be difficult for him to end up like that.
But on second thought, Mo Yunzhu will definitely not win, so it's ok to let her embarrass herself a little, but you can't let her and Prince Lan come here to steal the limelight.
"Of course, I have prepared a lot of gifts today. Yunzhu, if you win, you can choose any one you want." The prince smiled gently, showing his open-mindedness.
Before, everyone said that the prince was so angry that he died, and the two would become enemies.
But some people said that Mo Yunzhu was not wrong and was framed, and the prince should not blame Mo Yunzhu. The prince is the crown prince, so he must have this kind of mind.
So now everyone can see that although the prince and Mo Yunzhu cannot become husband and wife, they can still be friends.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness. I'll give it a try." Mo Yunzhu also stood up.
As soon as she stood up, she outshined Mo Huaiqing. She was dressed in a magnificent and gorgeous outfit, just like a fairy from heaven. Her aura was so strong that the people below couldn't help but feel awe.
"Everyone, Yunzhu has made a fool of herself. The fog covers the mountain tops and the mountain tops are covered with fog. The sky is connected to the water and the water is connected to the sky." Mo Yunzhu said loudly and slowly.
In an instant, everyone felt that the couplet had risen in level and became majestic and magnificent.
"Good! That's great, wonderful, really wonderful! Miss Mo is amazing!" The first person to shout out was actually Ji Xingyun among the men.
He originally thought that Mo Yunzhu couldn't come up with a good second line, but when he heard it, he was suddenly amazed, as if this was the correct second line.
Everyone turned to look at Ji Xingyun and started talking.
"That's good. It's really good."
"Yes, a little better than Miss Dai."
"When did Mo Yunzhu become so amazing? Isn't it said that her skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting are just a foundation?"
"Oh my god, would not being a crown princess make her more beautiful and talented? She is really beautiful. I really like her headgear. Does anyone know where to find it?"
"She is indeed more dazzling than when she was the Crown Princess. Could it be that the Crown Prince is not good to her and does not allow her to show her true nature?"
"Tsk, I think it's because of Prince Lan. With such a handsome man by your side, a woman needs to be worthy of him. A Miss Mo like this, standing with Prince Lan, is a true couple made in heaven."
"But isn't it too quick for Miss Mo to change her mind and fall in love with someone else?"
"Does she still have to cry? When she was framed, the prince didn't believe her. It seems she has given up. Now the emperor has arranged a marriage for her. Prince Lan is her husband. If she doesn't treat her husband well, how can she treat the prince well?"
"That makes sense. I'm optimistic about them. They really are a perfect match."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really dropped his pearl this time. I wonder if he regrets it."
"Fortunately, Mo Yunzhu has King Lan, otherwise all the men would have been seduced by her. Look at these wolf eyes."
…
The audience was buzzing with excitement. Many men were indeed attracted to Mo Yunzhu, not only by her beauty, but also by her couplets and the unsurpassed piece of Plum Blossom.
They found that it was as if they had just begun to get to know Miss Mo.
The only one who didn't react was Zhuo Yu, who was walking among the women. Originally, his cool and handsome face was also the target of women's infatuation, but this guy was so cold that one would be frozen to death if they approached him, so no one dared to say hello.
All I know is that it was Master Zhuo, a friend brought by Ji Xingyun.
Zhuo Yu didn't smell the woman with the scent of orange blossoms, and he felt annoyed. When he returned to Ji Xingyun, he heard Ji Xingyun's excited shouting.
He directly transformed himself into Mo Yunzhu's little fanboy.
"Miss Mo's couplet is absolutely perfect this time. It's really magnanimous and courageous. It's true that she has a bigger vision than ordinary women." Ji Xingyun's starry eyes were shining as he looked at Mo Yunzhu on the stage.
