Chapter 237: Equally Excellent (Medium)

The emperor and Empress Gong sang together, making the matter of Princess Paula and the real princess public. Everyone is paying attention.

The reason why Empress Gong is willing to cooperate with the emperor to perform this play is because Gao Jinyun's troops in the northwest have been too prominent recently, which has given Empress Gong a sense of crisis, and she doesn't want to see Emperor Gao's concubine and the second prince proud, so she hopes that the Qian Dynasty can successfully form an alliance with Siam. If the alliance between the two countries is successful, it can reduce the current high prestige of the Northwest Gaojia Army.

Everyone at the table had strange faces, facing the sudden challenge, thinking of the identities of the two sides of the challenge, as if they were watching the drama of two women fighting for one man, can you not be excited?

Song Yi sneered in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface. Looking at the true king beside him, waiting for his statement.

But the real king didn't react at all, his face was blank, and there was no expression, and Song Yi couldn't see his true attitude.

Seeing that the real king only kept drinking, he didn't mean to speak. Song Yi was also completely disappointed in the true king, and said to Princess Paula, "Princess, you are a guest from afar, it stands to reason that as the host, I should accompany the princess to the end and not disappoint the princess." But after all, you and I are not ordinary, if you have other plans, then I will not accompany you."

"True princess, aren't you scared?" Princess Paula continued to provoke.

"Scared? The princess still doesn't know about me. I wasn't scared yet," Song Yi sneered.

"In that case, then I will assume that the princess agrees to my challenge"

With that, Princess Paula turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have made a formal challenge to the true princess. The real princess also responded."

"Oh? Then we're in for a treat. The Emperor said with a smile.

The crowd returned to their places and waited to watch the battle between the Princess of Siam and the True Princess.

"This king is a little envious of the real king. There are no regrets about being a man mixed with you. King Liang drank the wine in his cup and said loudly.

"King Liang, why do you say this?" Everyone couldn't understand why King Liang suddenly opened his mouth to sarcastically mock the real king, so someone who fanned the flames asked.

King Liang held the wine cup, looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and then sneered and said, "The true king is now on the left and right, and he is enjoying the blessings of all people." Isn't it enviable that there are two women fighting for him at the same time? ”

After hearing this, everyone looked suddenly enlightened and laughed.

Song Yi listened to the laughter of others, and his heart became even more uncomfortable. The laughter of these people is not joy, but schadenfreude and the expression of watching a good show.

"True princess, I think you should see some people clearly as soon as possible, don't end up making wedding clothes for others"

"King Liang has something to say in this. I don't know why King Liang spoke ill of Xiao Wang, and I ask you to give me advice."

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. True King, isn't this situation obvious now? You must have promised Princess Paula in private, that's why Princess Paula will challenge the real princess in public. If the king's guess is right, if Princess Paula wins, is the next step to ask the emperor to marry the two of you? ”

"His Royal Highness King Liang, you really misunderstood the true prince. This princess has only heard that the real princess is brilliant, and she has the reputation of 'goddess descending to earth' in the mouth of the people of the Qian. That's why I just want to find an opportunity to learn from the real princess. It's rare to see the real princess today, and I was excited to challenge the real princess in public. This matter has nothing to do with the real king" Princess Paula flatly denied that she challenged the real princess for the sake of the real king, but obviously, everyone on the field did not believe it, and everyone had a playful smile on their faces.

Because King Liang suddenly challenged the true king, Emperor Zhao Pangde had to look at King Liang and wanted to find out how King Liang, who had always been casual and didn't ask about mundane things, suddenly made trouble.

If no one else dares to say this on such an occasion. But it is precisely because King Liang was very cautious in front of the emperor in the past, but today he is unusual, that the emperor is puzzled.

Thinking of the rumors of King Liang and the real princess in the past, the emperor also seemed to understand something, and his eyes were deep when he looked at Song Yi.

Everyone felt that today's meal was really wonderful, and their hearts were happy when they watched a good show.

Princess Paula fell in love with the real king, and it was no secret in the Qianchao. The emperor wanted an alliance between the Qian Dynasty and the Siamese State, and of course hoped to successfully marry the Siamese princess. If Princess Paula can marry one of the three princes, it will be the best.

But Princess Paula herself fell in love with the real king, and as soon as they met, she openly and honestly explained that she only wanted to marry the real king, and no one else considered it. The emperor had no choice but to find a way to facilitate this marriage.

"King Liang, everyone is just happy. Don't say more," the emperor stopped King Liang from speaking.

Song Yi didn't expect that at this time, King Liang would be alone for Princess Paula, and he was grateful, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at King Liang.

But Song Yi's eyes, in the eyes of the real king Zhu Xi, seemed to be an ambiguity that did not take into account his feelings.

Zhu Xi was very angry, and he couldn't say anything about the explanation that came to his mouth.

"I don't know Princess Paula or the real princess, which of the two of you will start first?" The queen asked.

"It doesn't matter who comes first or who comes last. The real princess is the one to choose," Princess Paula said with a smile.

"Princess, you are generous. However, we are better than nothing at all. Isn't it a joke to decide who comes first and who comes last? ”

"True princess, really cautious. In this way, I will choose the competition items, you can choose the order of appearance, and everyone will not suffer" Princess Paula had a nonchalant expression, obviously confident!

"Okay, then that's it" Song Yi knew, the arrow was on the string, and he no longer twisted.

Princess Paula doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, she just wants the real king to see that she is more talented than Song Yi. Thinking that Song Yi was famous for his song "Dream of Red Mansions", he smiled and said, "My favorite thing in this palace is dancing, but the princess is in a special body now, so it's not like dancing."

"Princess, the talent competition is a talent competition, not martial arts, so you don't have to be accommodating. If you dance, you can dance, and I can compete with other talents."

"No. The two of us are still better than the same one, and it is easier for everyone to comment. I heard that the real princess sings well, why don't we compare songs" Princess Paula is deliberate, wanting to defeat the other party in Song Yi's fame skills, which can knock down the other party's self-confidence.

Song Yi knew what Princess Paula meant, but she didn't refuse.

"Since the princess is willing to take care of me, I can only thank you" Song Yi agreed without a little ambiguity.

She is not stupid, she is not stupid, she can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Song Yi is the only one who can make do with the piano. Now Paula's main focus is on singing, which Song Yi can't ask for. How could she refuse?

"The princess asked me to choose a song, then I will let the princess come back, you can perform first"

"The real princess, she is really a human spirit. In order to take care of the princess, Princess Paula gave up dancing and singing, but you chose to be the last. Who doesn't know, people are impressed by the songs behind. Isn't the real princess clearly bullying our guests from Siam? ”

It was the county lord of Wencheng who spoke, and he looked at Song Yi with an indifferent face and said.

"Lord Wencheng, this is not true." Song Yi was not surprised at all, the county lord of Wencheng would say such a thing: "Maybe the county lord doesn't know anything about quyi. Don't say it's just me and Princess Paula competing today. No matter how many people come, everyone is still attracted to the tune and lyrics of the song. If you listen to it and forget it, it won't be a good song. Otherwise, what the ancients said about lingering sounds, and not eating meat for three days, is it not false? ”

"Thank you, Lord Wencheng, for speaking for me. I don't care about the order of priority, though. It is true that as the real princess said, there are pros and cons to singing first and singing later. ”

"Although the princess doesn't care, some people will think that I deliberately chose what is good for me. In that case, then I'll sing it first" Song Yi suddenly changed his mind. In fact, she does think that the person who sings later can leave an impression in the minds of the audience. But now because of the stirring of Lord Wencheng, Song Yi had to speak first.

"True princess, do you want this palace to accompany you?" Suddenly, Du Shuyin interjected.

Song Yi is worried, he will make mistakes when he plays and sings. And Du Shuyin was originally known as the Qin Immortal, and he was quite accomplished in the piano. With her help, Song Yi is more sure to win.

"Then thank you to the third princess," Song Yi did not refuse.

Song Yi is still very grateful to Du Shuyin for taking the initiative to help. After all, not long ago, she lost her temper with Du Shuyin. Instead of getting angry, the other party took the initiative to help him. Song Yi was very moved.

"Sister, don't be nervous. Even if you sing, I won't hold you back," Du Shuyin said softly.

Song Yi looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and nodded.

Song Yi thought about it, and decided to sing an ancient rhyme song "When is the Bright Moon", which is a poem by the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi, which originally meant to miss his brother Su Zhe. But Song Yi feels that there are a few lines in this song that are very consistent with his current mood. So, I chose this song.

Song Yi and Du Shuyin walked to the stage, and there were already palace people who arranged the stage properly. Song Yi didn't choose a very extravagant layout, and the songs he was going to sing were regretful and sad. This simplicity makes it more atmospheric.

Du Shuyin sat in front of the piano, waiting for Song Yi to speak first, and then she chose what tune to use to echo.

Song Yi sat on the chair, looking at the moon in the sky, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

So, he opened his mouth and sang, "When is the bright moon?" Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace? I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world? Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

Song Yi sang well, and Du Shuyin also harmonized well. Coupled with the atmosphere of the scene and the artistic conception of the song, everyone lingered and enjoyed it very much.
