unruly princess

Chapter 25

I was thinking about the scene in the movie while singing, and I had already forgotten where I was, until I came back to my senses when there was a burst of applause.

I looked towards the source of the sound, "Okay, Aijia has never heard such a strange but beautiful tune. The style of the tune is so novel, and the tune is also unheard of. I wonder if you wrote the lyrics and music yourself?" The queen mother was very moved. He asked with interest, without any disguise to hide the appreciation in his heart, and besides, he glanced at Concubine Yu a few times in a demonstration.

"This? This is me... my concubine sang it casually, it can't be on the big stage, it can't compare with Concubine Yu's neon dress dance." I replied with a guilty conscience, how could I have the ability to create my own lyrics.

"What a good boy, so humble. Huang'er, what do you think of Yu'er's singing?" The queen mother praised me and I turned my head and asked the emperor.

And the emperor seemed to have just come to his senses, "The queen mother is right, it is indeed a good song. It is more appropriate to describe it as 'this song should only exist in the sky, how often do you hear it in the world'. Madam Chu, you really let us Surprised! It seems that my cousin picked up a treasure, didn't he, cousin?" The emperor looked at Chu Yuntian with a meaningful smile.

Chu Yuntian respectfully replied: "Yes, I am surprised too!" After saying that, he looked at me thoughtfully.

Concubine Yu's face was very ugly, and she couldn't help but stare at me with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to eat me.I secretly made a grimace: stare, stare, I won't dump you, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat.

"Then, my lord, which of the two of them has the better performance?" The queen mother leaned forward and asked very concerned.The emperor glanced at the two of us, and replied with an elegant smile on the corner of his mouth: "Their performances have their own merits, and it is really difficult for me to make a decision. If it is not a tie! What do you think, Queen Mother?"

"Since the emperor said so, how can I, the queen mother, have any objections? But what will we compare next?" Although the queen mother was a little reluctant, she still agreed with the emperor's statement.

"After the performance just now, I think Concubine Ai and Mrs. Chu are tired, why don't you play a guessing game to relax." Everyone agreed, and I don't care!But seeing Concubine Yu's self-satisfied look, this must be her forte.I need more snacks.No one can lose to her!

"Okay, let me start first. Apart from me, the queen mother's cousin will also come up with one. Whoever says more will win. In the end, you will ask each other a question. What do Aifei and Mrs. Chu agree to?"

"It's better to be respectful than obedience." Concubine Yu quickly replied. "I'm fine too." The eyes of Concubine Yu and I collided, and sparks flew everywhere (it was sparks of mutual demonstration, please don't misunderstand!).

"Since there is no opinion, let's start. The luck of the people is endless, and it's rare to meet someone who has meritorious deeds. Because of the chaos in the town, it's just because the numbers of yin and yang are not clear. Let's use things." The emperor said and looked at us.

The cold sweat in my heart!What are you talking about?I didn't hear clearly!Concubine Yu seemed to have known that I would not be able to answer, she gave me a sideways look with malicious intent, and replied very proudly: "It's an abacus." My shoulders suddenly collapsed, how could this be?
"Well, Concubine Ai is absolutely right. Queen Mother, you can also say one!" The Queen Mother looked at me and seemed a little disappointed. "Okay, let me just say one! The monkey stands lightly on the top of the tree and names the fruit."

I was overjoyed, I know this. "It's Lychee, Queen Mother." I shouted loudly.The sound was so loud that even I jumped.The Empress Dowager and Concubine Yu all looked at me in surprise.Only Chu Yuntian remained calm.I immediately knew that I had made a mistake, how could I make such a loud noise in front of the emperor and queen mother, it was disrespectful.

Concubine Yu opened her mouth to say something, but the emperor preempted her, "Queen mother, did she get the answer right?" The queen mother came back to her senses, and gave me a suspicious look, "It's indeed litchi."

Next is Chu Yuntian, I really hope he doesn't make any trouble. "When the children under the steps are on their backs, the Qingming decoration is the most suitable. When the gossamer is broken and weak, don't complain to the east wind for parting. Hit a plaything." I know this very well, and I often played with it when I was young.

"It's a kite." Huh?Double tone.The eyes of Concubine Yu and I collided again.

"It's interesting that you answered it together. It seems that you are tied again this time. Then, let's guess one of each other again. If you can't guess, you lose." The emperor looked at us interestingly.

"Then let the concubine talk first." Hmph, she took the opportunity again, this time the situation is not good. "The body is straight, and the body is hard. Even if you can't speak, you will respond to what you say. Use something."

I froze, my forehead was sweating again.What is it?It is dignified and firm, unable to speak but responding to what it says.I anxiously scanned the things around me, hoping to find some inspiration.But I was still disappointed.Where are these things.

"What? Can't you answer it?" Concubine Yu's voice came with a contemptuous smile, and I naturally refused to admit defeat, "Who says you can't answer it, isn't it just thinking?" I said angrily.

"You...you actually talk to me like this?" Concubine Yu trembled angrily when she saw my contradictory tone.I was thinking hard and didn't answer her at all.

"Your majesty, look, she actually talks to the concubine like this, and she doesn't take me seriously. You must make the decision for the concubine!" Concubine Yu immediately cried to the emperor.

At this time, I suddenly saw Chu Yuntian's hand making a writing movement, and I was overjoyed, "Could it be a brush? No! It's not square! Could it be paper? It's not hard! Ah~ I remembered, it turned out to be it .

"I see, it's the inkstone." I glanced at Chu Yuntian gratefully, and said to Concubine Yu who was complaining to the emperor.Concubine Yu became even angrier when she saw me like this, "Your Majesty, look at her, she doesn't show the slightest repentance, what's the point of shouting?"

"What's wrong with me? I just gave the answer, what's wrong?" I pretended to be stupid and wanted to fight with me, but there was no way! "Yes, yes, it is the inkstone. Concubine Yu! There is no outsider here, why are you so serious? You are right, Your Majesty." The Queen Mother hurriedly came out to protect me.

The emperor saw the queen mother said so, no matter how distressed he is, he can't blame me!Hehe, my favor for the queen mother has suddenly risen again. "The Queen Mother is right. Since it's just entertainment, why bother with so many etiquettes? Alright, since Mrs. Chu answered the question correctly, then you have to come up with another one!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hmph, this time I must treat you well. (Sneaky smile~) "My lady, before I do this, I would like to remind you that the anagrams I made are different from the ones you have seen before. You can't guess according to your previous thinking!"

"Hmph, I don't need you to remind me. I haven't seen any kind of crossword puzzle before." In such a confident tone, okay, it's best to keep it like this.

"In that case, then I'll say it!" I cleared my voice, "A boar and a sow. Type three words."

I got my wish and saw Concubine Yu's eyes gradually widen, but she had a desperate expression on her face. "What... what is this? It's just nonsense."

"I'm not fooling around. I told you that this riddle is different from the ones you've seen before!"

"Your Majesty~" I wanted to call in reinforcements again, hum!

But this time the emperor has no plans to help her, "Since Mrs. Chu has already asked the question, you can guess it! Even I am curious about the answer!" The emperor said leisurely, taking a sip of tea.

Since the emperor said so, Concubine Yu naturally had to guess.Concubine Yu made a few guesses but I denied them, and finally gave up, "Then tell me what the answer is?"

Ho Ho, just admit defeat! "The answer is—two pigs."

"Two pigs!" The quartet sounded, mixed with surprise and sudden realization, the emperor even spit out the tea he just drank from his mouth.There is no elegance at all, and it is accompanied by an infinitely embarrassing cough.

"Yes, they are two pigs." I laughed, and it was as interesting as I expected!whee.

"How can there be such a guessing game, this doesn't count!" Concubine Yu shouted angrily, her previous self-confidence and arrogance disappeared at this moment, only unwillingness remained.

"Yes, there was no such riddle in the past, isn't there now? I think that with your intelligence, you must have mastered the way of thinking of this kind of riddle. Then I will come up with another riddle like this." It seems that this Concubine Yu is also a person who refuses to admit defeat easily!Oh, well, this is interesting!
"Okay, come out! I don't believe it, I can't figure it out." Confidence returned to her face.

"Listen up! A boar and a sow. Type five words."

"What? It's still the answer to this mystery? But why is it five words again? You are obviously cheating." Her voice was much louder than mine just now, but she is a concubine, so the emperor should not care.

"How can I? If you can't guess it, I will announce the answer!" I said seriously.My heart was already overjoyed.

"No, I want to guess!" Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said.

"Okay! I'll stay with you to the end!" After guessing and guessing, I still didn't get it right. In the end, the emperor couldn't wait and asked me to announce the answer.

"It's still two pigs! Five words, isn't it?" I chuckled.

"Okay, interesting, interesting!" The emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

The queen mother also smiled and murmured: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Concubine Yu's refining was already like a pig's liver, but it seemed that she still didn't give up.

"If you come up with another one, if I can't answer again, I will admit defeat." Concubine Yu said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, that's what you said. Then I'll go out, a boar and a sow. Type seven words."

Concubine Yu yelled again: "Are you kidding me? Why is this riddle still there?" Her image really disappeared, and now she doesn't have the grace and nobility of a royal concubine.

"I don't have it! That's the problem, what can I do?" I answered honestly.

"What's the answer? You mean it! I see what answer you can come up with this time?" "Okay, then I'll tell you! But you can't be angry!" After all, she is a concubine Well!It's better to remind me.

"Okay, I'm not angry. You mean it!" You're obviously already angry!

"It's still two pigs, idiot!" I said and laughed, as I always do when I joke with my friends.But this time. ． ．
"You dare to call me an idiot. You are so brave! You don't care about the royal family." Concubine Yu was so angry that she used her identity to suppress me.

My laughter stopped abruptly, and I screamed inwardly.I seem to have made a very serious mistake just now.Looking at the queen mother, Chu Yuntian and the emperor, they were completely stunned.Is it my audacity or presumptuousness or something else?The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward!
