Chapter 12: The Competition
Ji Wanyi's straightforward words made the faces of many people present sink, and even Luo Xuanran's face was not much better. But Ji Wanyi is the daughter of Pingbohou, and even the queen doesn't dare to reprimand more.
"Wanyi, you're not too young, why are you still so ignorant? This palace will only reward if you like it, not to try anything. Luo Xuanran persuaded.
"Queen Mother, why don't you like those who don't behave well? Everyone likes good performances, and there is no bad performance to set off, how can there be good or bad? Isn't that just comparison? Ji Wanyi asked, "Doesn't the queen mother want her courtiers to compete with Miss Su?" If so, give me a command, and the courtiers will sit down and say nothing. ”
Luo Xuanran couldn't hold his face, and Wen Zhiyan helped to solve the siege: "The chrysanthemum banquet is to appreciate the chrysanthemum, and the performance is also to add some fun, if it is a competition, it will inevitably deviate from its duty." Miss Ji is a smart person, she should understand what this king means, right? Naturally, you can perform on stage, and no one will stop you. ”
"Then the courtiers just can't compete with Miss Su on the same stage?" Ji Wanyi asked.
Looking at Ji Wanyi like this, Lian Zhi already understood her intentions in her heart. It seems that it is unreasonable to use the Pingbohou Mansion, but in fact, it is to avoid the real purpose of today's chrysanthemum feast. Ji Wanyi doesn't want to be a pawn in the game between the eldest prince and the second prince, but she represents the entire Pingbohou Mansion, but she can't stay out of it.
Rather than being a knife warrior and me being a fish and meat, it is better to ruin my own image. In this way, even if the eldest prince and the second prince want to marry her, they have to weigh it.
While Lianzhi was pondering, Luo Xuanran asked, "Then what do you think?" ”
"Princess Ben thinks this is very inappropriate." Wen Miqing replied first, "What do you think of the sixth sister?" ”
Wen Yunxi was unexpectedly clicked: "I don't think it matters." ”
Wen Miqing glared at Wen Yunxi, and then asked Lianzhi: "What do you think of Princess Wanyang?" ”
Lianzhi replied: "This princess doesn't know the customs of Xichu very well, this is the first time to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet, don't ask my advice for this kind of thing." ”
"Princess Wanyang can speak, you just watched so many performances, how do you feel?" Wen Miqing turned the spearhead.
Lianzhi nodded: "Not bad." ”
"Then why don't you ask Princess Wanyang to perform for us too, how about it?" Wen Miqing asked.
Lianzhi asked rhetorically: "What does Princess Miqing want me to perform?" This princess is different from you, she needs to support the young emperor and deal with the government at a young age, and she has no leisure to learn those things that are stormy, do you want this princess to perform how to review and perform for you here? ”
Wen Mi Qingqi couldn't say a word, she didn't expect Lianzhi to be so bold.
"This princess is the princess of Zhenguo, do you understand the meaning of the word Zhenguo?" Lianzhi's expression was solemn, "This princess shouldered the fate of Dongxia in the past, how can she have time to have fun, otherwise wouldn't she live up to the word Zhenguo?" ”
There was silence all over the garden, and in front of Lianzhi, Wen Miqing was almost down to the dust. Even Wen Zhiyan had to admire, he faced the name of the princess of Dongxia Zhenguo for the first time, for the sake of Dongxia, Lin Wanyang sacrificed too much, and few women could carry the burden of a country like Lin Wanyang, and even carried it for so many years.
Lianzhi also admired Lin Wanyang in her heart, she would never forget the first time she saw Lin Wanyang, she was surprised that woman really used her thin shoulders to provoke the fate of the Dongxia Kingdom.
It's a pity that she admires Lin Wanyang, but she also hates Lin Wanyang. Lin Wanyang has a strategy, but she is also despicable to the extreme, she will use everything she can use, such a woman is really terrifying.
Lianzhi sometimes rejoices that he is not the real Lin Wanyang, but he is sad that he is not the real Lin Wanyang!
"It seems that the fourth sister of this king is abrupt." Wen Zhiyu strode into the garden, and he heard what he said just now, "Miqing is spoiled, and I hope Princess Wanyang won't mind." ”
Seeing Wen Zhiyu come in, the others got up and saluted, Wen Zhiyu waved his hand at them, and then walked in front of Luo Xuanran: "Erchen has seen the queen mother. ”
"Get up, it's just the right time for you." Luo Xuanran's words couldn't be heard as sarcasm or praise.
Wen Zhiyu sat down in the empty seat next to Lianzhi: "Today is a chrysanthemum feast, which was originally to be happy, but now it has made everyone unhappy." Princess Wanyang is the one who wants to become the crown princess in the future, no matter whether she can play the piano and paint, she should not show it in front of everyone. As for the competition between Miss Ji and Miss Su, this king thinks it is feasible. ”
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" Before the others could speak, Su Xiran had already spoken, his eyes full of grievances.
Wen Zhiyu didn't seem to see her grievances: "This king thinks that the so-called competition is not just two people showing their talents on stage?" If Miss Su really thinks that she is outstanding in painting, how can she be afraid to paint on the same stage with Miss Ji? On the contrary, this king is looking forward to the result of this competition, if Miss Ji loses, don't cry. ”
The last sentence made everyone laugh, and the previous displeasure and solemnity seemed to have dissipated.
"Since the prince has said so, let's go on stage and compete." Luo Xuanran also pushed the boat down the river, but there could be no more accidents. What Lian Zhi said just now, even she was scared.
Su Xiran and Ji Wanyi came on the stage to paint, and everyone else watched, saying a few words to the people around them from time to time.
Wen Zhiyu patted Lianzhi's arm, Lianzhi looked at him, and Wen Zhiying asked, "Why do you put yourself in a situation where you can't get off the stage every time?" ”
Lian Zhi didn't speak, and Wen Zhiyu continued: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, after all, this is Xichu, not Dongxia, even if I protect you, it is impossible to be safer than you in Dongxia." I'll be here in time this time, not next time, you have to learn to protect yourself. ”
Lianzhi understood what Wen Zhiyu meant, what she said was too decisive, not only making others unable to get off the stage, but also making herself unable to get off the stage. This was the case last time in the Hall of Eternal Life, and it is still the same today at the chrysanthemum feast. If the real Lin Wanyang is here, I am afraid that she will be much better than herself, she is not a real princess after all, and no matter how she acts, the fake will not become real.
Wen Zhiyu felt that Lianzhi was like a little beast covered in bruises, it was her instinct to protect herself, as long as someone showed her claws, her first reaction was to hurt that person more quickly and harder, even if she herself would be hurt more seriously.
She doesn't trust anyone, even if she dies, she has the idea of dying together, she is a very extreme person. This kind of Lianzhi makes Wen Zhiyu feel that she is not like a princess, no matter how difficult it is for a princess, she will not be a character like Lianzhi.
"I know you've helped me a lot, thank you." Lianzhi could only thank him, "I'll pay attention next time." ”
Wen Zhiyu sighed: "Forget it, instead of expecting you to pay attention, it is better for me to look at you more often, lest you cause something again." ”
"Why are you helping me like this?" Lianzhi asked in a low voice.
"You are my future crown princess, I don't protect you, who will protect you?"
"If your crown princess had someone else, would you protect her like this?"
Lianzhi's question made Wen Zhiyu stunned, if his future crown princess was not Lianzhi, would he protect him like this?
Wen Zhiyu suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw Lianzhi in Yunfeng, when he opened the carriage door and saw Lianzhi sitting in the carriage at a glance. At that moment, Wen Zhiyu seemed to have forgotten everything, there was only Lianzhi in her eyes, no matter what, she must take her to leave Yunfeng safely.
If the person sitting in the carriage at that time was not Lianzhi, would he still be so desperate? This answer is not clear even to Wen Zhiyu himself.
"What are the third brother and Princess Wanyang talking about?" Wen Zhiyu found that Wen Zhiyu and Lianzhi were leaning together and saying something, "The relationship between the two is really good. ”
Wen Zhiyu's words interrupted Wen Zhiyu's train of thought, not many people paid attention to Lianzhi and Wen Zhiyu, and everyone couldn't help but look at the two of them at this moment.
The pen in Su Xiran's hand stopped, and turned his face to look at Wen Zhiyu, his eyes full of grievances and loss, which made people can't help but feel pity when they see it.
