Chapter 121 Ancient poetry is amazing
It was obvious that she regretted lending the pipa to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan blinked her crystal eyes, nodded and chuckled:
"The Princess's pipa is good, but the tone is still a bit wrong. It is better to tighten the second string and loosen the fourth one."
Leaving this sentence, she came to the hall again, bowed to the emperor, and returned to her position.
Leng Xi, who was sitting beside her, looked at her with a look of surprise and surprise.
"Didn't you say you don't understand the rhythm? Why do you dance so well?"
Luo Lan shook her head and chuckled, "It's just a trick. Thank you for your help just now."
It turned out that she knew everything. She didn't just dance selflessly. She had noticed Wu Linlin's little movements, but she didn't expect that Leng Xi would help her. This surprised her a little.
Leng Xi blinked at her mischievously, "I'm so kind to you, my sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that you know so much. I now doubt that you are a fairy descending to earth?"
Luo Lan didn't care about her jokes. Her feelings for the Prince of Xi have changed a little.
Luo Lan didn't pay much attention to the following gift. She was thinking that she would find a way to go to Concubine Li's palace later, find the Madam Lu, and ask about Madam Sun.
After everyone gave their birthday ceremony, it was the luncheon session. The emperor left early because he had something to do, so the luncheon was mainly Concubine Chang.
She specially asked Luo Lan to sit at the same table with her, and the people sitting next to this table were:
Concubine Chang, Concubine Li, Leng Xi, Leng Ming, Wu Linlin, and Luo Lan.
Concubine Chang was in a good mood today, so the atmosphere on the scene was very warm and pleasant.
Luo Lan didn't care too much, she just wanted to finish her meal as soon as possible and leave here early.
At this time, Concubine Li looked at Luo Lan with a curious look.
"Princess Yu grew up in the countryside. How did he learn to dance and play music? And I heard that Princess Yu also knows medical skills?"
Tell her that she was afraid she couldn't understand, Luo Lan shook her head and chuckled, "Luo Lan just knows some fur, it's not worth mentioning."
Seeing that she didn't want to answer directly, Wu Linlin snorted coldly with her nose, "Princess Yu knows a lot, I don't know how to recite poems and paint? Let's compare when you have time?"
Hearing this, Leng Xi joked:
"Sister-in-law, don't underestimate Princess Yu. She has already compared you with music and dancing just now. If you recite poems, paintings and compare you with you, wouldn't you be very embarrassed? You are the most talented woman in the capital.
Seeing that Leng Xi actually ridiculed her in such words, Wu Linlin, who was already angry, became even more angry.
But she still pretended to be calm and raised her handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, then smiled slightly,
"I don't mean to look down on Princess Yu. I just saw that she had unique skills and didn't show it. I just wanted to let everyone see it. I wonder if Princess Yu has such a good mood?"
To be honest, Luo Lan really doesn't have this kind of elegant pleasure.
She is not in the mood to recite poems and paint here now, and she is still counting on ending the luncheon early to do a serious business.
So, she put down the chopsticks in her hand and shook her head coldly at Wu Linlin.
"The Crown Princess is the most talented woman in the capital. Luo Lan dares not compare with her, so naturally she dares not compete with her. Besides, Luo Lan doesn't know a few big words, so how can she recite poems?"
After hearing what she said, Wu Linlin's competitive heart was instantly aroused.
Her dancing skills have surpassed her just now. If she can win a game in chanting poetry and painting, she can regain some face.
So she sarcastically said:
"Princess Yu is really a humble person. Why not do this? Let's write a poem impromptu with the birthday banquet of our mother, which can be considered as a way to help you liven up?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a trace of indescribable gaze flashed in Concubine Chang's eyes.
When Luo Lan played the pipa and danced, she doubted her identity. She even suspected that this woman was not the Luo Lan she found from the countryside. How could the woman from the countryside have such superb skills?
She even suspected that Luo Lan in front of her had used disguise techniques, and she entered the Yu Prince's Mansion and then approached the royal family, and she must have had an ulterior motive.
Wu Linlin's words made her feel excited, and she happened to take this opportunity to try her again.
So, she nodded and agreed, "Linlin's words make sense. If Lan'er can't recite poems, she will just say a few auspicious words."
Concubine Li also raised the brocade handkerchief in her hand, wiped the corner of her mouth, nodded and said:
"Yes! Princess Yu should not be modest. How could a person with such excellent dancing skills not understand poetry?"
Luo Lan's brows were tightened. She had already seen the surprised gaze in everyone's eyes when she danced just now. If she were to Shi again, someone would even doubt her.
Although she is not afraid of others' suspicion, she does not want to cause unreasonable trouble. It seems that she has to pretend later.
Thinking of this, she simply nodded, "Then please ask the Crown Princess to come first. I am not very smart enough, so I have to think about it for a while."
Seeing her answer, Wu Linlin pursed her lips proudly, looked arrogant, and half-squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and slowly spoke:
"Shepherd's purse is used to serve cakes, and locust buds are collected as vegetarians.
It’s not ridiculous to live in seclusion when you rub your belly twice in the morning.”
"good!"
The applause and cheers were filled with hilarious voices.
The guests and female relatives who were dining had already put down their chopsticks and gathered around to watch the excitement. When they heard Wu Linlin's verses, they directly applauded.
Wu Linlin looked up even more proudly and showed a big smile at the one who praised her.
At this time, she looked at Luo Lan and raised her eyebrows and said:
"Please please!"
Luo Lan was silent for a while. Regarding the poem on the dinner table, she suddenly thought of an ancient poem she learned in elementary school textbooks in her previous life.
So she half-squinted her eyes and said slowly:
“It’s noon to hoe the crops,
Sweat drips into the soil.
Who knows the food on the plate?
Every grain is hard.”
She just wanted to deal with this simple poem. Unexpectedly, the people at the scene were silent after hearing it.
Leng Ming, who had been silent all the time, suddenly slapped and said:
"This poem is so easy to understand. It not only writes out the hardships of farmers' farming, but also warns people to cherish food, good poems, and good poems!"
Leng Xi also shook her head and nodded constantly.
"Although this poem is not many words, it has extraordinary meaning and is worthy of public speaking."
The words of these two princes immediately made Luo Lan feel amused and crying.
She just borrowed some ancient poems to deal with, but how did it become a good poem worth chanting in their mouths?
After hearing this, the people present praised it.
"Well, good poems, good poems."
"What a good poem, a good poem!"
Luo Lan felt like she was about to die of embarrassment, and she buried her head very low.
Wu Linlin's face turned blue and white. Her poem was also learned from other places. The words and sentences were so elegant that it was hard to understand. Who would have thought that Princess Yu would only say a few words and made these people follow her? Why didn't she hear where her poem was good?
Although Concubine Chang's face looked rosy, it actually became extremely cold.
She was sure that the Lie Lan in front of her was definitely not a country woman, or she was disguised as a country woman and sneaked into Prince Yu’s mansion.
No wonder she is disobedient. It turns out that this woman has another identity and purpose. It seems that her previous decision was wrong. It is too easy to just kill her. She should check her carefully.
