Chapter 38 The Five Evils Alliance
They were suddenly hit by a surprise, and the chief eunuch in front of the emperor took them downstairs to prepare.
Zhao Mingzhu passed by Bai Mu and covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.
"Thank you so much. The princess and I barely contributed anything, and it's all thanks to An Yun that we were able to win the prize. It's a shame, really. An Yun should have been a man, otherwise you could have argued about who won."
Gu Yu frowned in the back, disagreeing: "How can we fight? An Yun is a girl, and she started a step later. She has already defeated Bai Mu, so is there any need to fight?"
Zhao Mingzhu sighed: "Yes, the princess is still thoughtful."
An Yun couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She adjusted her sleeves with dignity and coughed twice.
"Crown Princess and Princess, your compliments are too kind. I am lucky... just lucky."
Regarding this, Bai Mu and the others said: ...
When Zhao Mingzhu and the other two returned to the banquet, Lei Ruoshui felt an ominous feeling after seeing An Yun's obscene smile.
Soon they returned to their seats, and Zhao Mingzhu wanted to laugh when she thought about what was going to happen.
The chief eunuch in front of the emperor couldn't help laughing after he passed the wooden tray with the note to the five people:
"Ladies and Mr. Bai, remember the above words. Later, each of you will walk in front of everyone and shout them out loud."
This is the Ruyi Prize that Zhao Mingzhu and the others are going to redeem.
When Lei Ruoshui opened it, his face turned dark.
Zhu Yuhe and Li Can beside her also turned darker.
After Su Lu saw the words clearly, her eyes turned red. They were really going too far.
Bai Mu was even more incredulous after seeing this, and a sense of humiliation rose up in his heart. He glared at An Yun, and sure enough, he saw that she was covering her mouth and laughing uncontrollably.
She was deliberately taking revenge on herself!
Emperor Jingyuan and all the ministers stared at the few people intently. Lei Ruoshui, Zhu Yuhe and Li Can were shirking responsibility and refused to be the first to read out.
It was so embarrassing. Not only would it be embarrassing for them, but their father who was present would also be embarrassed and would be sent to his grandparents' house.
Finally, Bai Mu, the only man, was pushed out. He held the note tightly and refused to speak. General Bai saw this and urged him:
"Be a man, why are you dithering?"
Bai Mu could only grit his teeth, walk around and shout loudly:
"I'm a scumbag, a pig left over from the ocean. If you like me, become my exclusive fan!"
General Bai: ...
Emperor Jingyuan lowered his head to drink his tea, while the ministers below laughed playfully, their laughter gradually growing louder. Before they had finished laughing...
Then it was Lei Ruoshui and the others' turn. After Bai Mu finished reading, it was even less likely that they would disobey the imperial edict.
Lei Ruoshui: "I am the black sheep, the black sheep is me!"
Zhu Yuhe: "I am the chicken waiting for you. Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is a great way to scare them!"
Li Can: "I am a rat crossing the street, and everyone beats the rat crossing the street!"
Su Lu: "I'm the shit stirrer, the one who stirs up trouble!"
The five of them said: "We are the Five Evils Alliance, which harms others but does not benefit ourselves."
"Haha, ouch."
Master An was old, and he couldn't hold back his laughter first, so he burst out laughing.
When he smiled, everyone present, except the father of the five men, burst into laughter. Some even went to ask his colleagues what they thought.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Zhao Mingzhu, glared at her, and then raised the corners of his mouth and then flattened them.
Zhao Mingzhu spread his hands: It’s not me who planned this alone, don’t blame me.
An Yun was laughing from beginning to end. Even her father was laughing out loud, so why was she still holding back? She laughed so hard that tears came out.
In the middle, he even took the time to clink glasses with Gu Yuyao to express his joy.
…
After the banquet, Zhao Mingzhu followed Gu Qingheng, recalling the looks in those people's eyes that seemed to want to eat them.
She likes to see the other person hating her to the core but unable to do anything to her.
"Princess?"
Gu Qingheng turned around and supported Zhao Mingzhu, who was about to bump into him: "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Isn't it hard to hold it in?"
Because Zhao Mingzhu had to consider her status as the Crown Princess, she sat upright at the banquet and only smiled secretly when she lowered her head.
Hearing what he said, Zhao Mingzhu looked around and remembered that there were no outsiders around, and she immediately burst into laughter.
"Your Highness, did you see that? They are almost pissed off. Hahahaha."
Especially Su Lu, after reading it, her tears fell like beads with broken strings, but it was a pity that no one had time to comfort her this time.
As Zhao Mingzhu spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt embroidered with wisteria flowers and jumped down the stairs. Her purple shawl dragged across the blue brick steps, creating ripples in the pond.
Gu Qingheng's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he turned and followed her: "I saw it."
It was a rare occasion for the two of them to go home from school together. They walked side by side down the long corridor. Just as they were about to turn the corner, a calico cat with its fur standing on end suddenly jumped out.
When the cat saw Zhao Mingzhu, it suddenly screamed heart-wrenchingly. There was no need to guess, you could tell it was cursing.
Zhao Mingzhu was startled and stepped back, but was supported by Gu Qingheng. She touched her nose:
"Who is it scolding?"
As Zhao Mingzhu spoke, she tilted her body to the other side, and the calico cat continued to call at her.
Zhao Mingzhu: ...The case was solved, and he was scolding her.
Gu Qingheng looked at the fair neck in front of him, and a faint floral fragrance came to him. He said in a calm voice:
"Didn't Master Lin say before that your zither drove away all the wild cats nearby? This must be one of them."
Zhao Mingzhu covered her face. Her piano playing was so bad. She had always thought that Master Lin was just teasing her.
The calico cat cried heart-wrenchingly for a while, then suddenly looked at her, turned around and ran into the bamboo bushes nearby. Zhao Mingzhu scratched her head when she saw this, thinking that it must have scolded enough and was about to leave.
But just as she took a few steps, the calico cat's shrill cry caught up with her. Zhao Mingzhu had no choice but to turn around and try to negotiate in a friendly manner.
But the next second, she widened her eyes and saw the calico cat stopped not far away, and the cow kitten and the orange and white kitten behind it ran towards her happily, meowing around her.
Zhao Mingzhu continued to stare with her eyes wide open, taking a few steps to the left and right, and the kittens followed her closely.
Zhao Mingzhu said weakly to Sanhua, "Just move back home. You don't have to send the child here to punish me, right?"
One is very capable of going crazy, and the other is very capable of eating. No matter how you look at it, this is a punishment for her, not a reward.
But the calico cat licked its paws, turned proudly into the bamboo bushes with its tail held high, and no matter how Zhao Mingzhu called out, it did not appear again.
Gu Qingheng squatted down and scratched Wuyun Taxue's chin: "Crown Princess, do you want to raise him?"
Zhao Mingzhu scratched her head. She had never raised a cat before and was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of it. Besides, she had only seen them for no more than three months.
But when I saw the orange baby turning over its belly, I was instantly melted by its cuteness!
She immediately decided:
"Raise them. I will be their real mother from now on. As long as I have a bite of rice, they will have a bite of soup."
She treated herself well, but it was indeed not difficult for the Eastern Palace to raise two cats. Gu Qingheng suddenly said:
"I was just talking about having kids a while ago, and God sent two of them. What a coincidence."
He held the cow cat in his arms and joked with a smile: "Call me daddy, she is your mother."
Zhao Mingzhu picked up Naiju, her heart melting, and said jokingly:
"Quick, call me mother, he is your father."
Gu Qingheng smiled faintly after hearing this, and Zhao Mingzhu was almost dazzled by the smile. Gu Qingheng rarely smiled so obviously.
She felt a strange feeling in her heart again, but was quickly distracted by another thought that emerged.
If she and Gu Qingheng part ways in the future, she will have to take the cat with her.
So in the future, we can’t let them eat too much, otherwise they will be too fat and difficult to steal.
As Gu Qingheng looked at the kitten in his arms, he suddenly understood why people in the past said that children are the best bond between husband and wife.
