Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 16 The prince gave her to me?
Uwe felt that this woman was not as pretentious as the other women in Liang Guo, she had enough brains and straightforward speech, her appearance could not be described as stunning, but she was also pretty and pleasant.It was beyond Uwe's expectation that such a woman existed in Daliang Palace.He even felt a little restless in his heart, wondering if he would have a chance to meet this woman again during his trip to the Kingdom of Liang, which was coming to an end tomorrow.

But he didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly.

The next day was the day when Emperor Liang would hold a farewell banquet for the Kang mission.This banquet is not as formal as the reception banquet. Except for the lord, family members of both sides can attend. The imperial garden is picturesque, singing and dancing are peaceful, and the emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials can all have a good time drinking and chatting.

The queen, princes, and princesses were all present, and Princess Liya of Kang Guo also attended the banquet with her brother Uwe.This Princess Liya's appearance is indeed not outstanding, especially standing next to his brother, she looks even more handsome. Fu is quite researched.

Everyone at the banquet continued to drink to each other, but Princess Liya stood up and went to the emperor to salute: "I have always heard that Liang Guo is famous for its poems and songs. Today coincides with the emperor's birthday. Liya has a couplet to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." , I am also here to ask for a second line with all talented people."

As soon as this remark came out, the hustle and bustle of the Royal Garden fell silent instantly. Princess Liya's words were on the surface a birthday celebration, but in fact they were a competition. If no one in the Liang Kingdom could match this couplet, wouldn't it be a laughing stock for foreigners?A group of officials stopped the food and drink in their hands, hoping that they would be able to match the couplet and be promoted to rank, but worried that no one could match the couplet, the emperor would lose face and let his head fall to the ground.

The emperor nodded in agreement, and saw Princess Liya hesitating for a moment, then said with confidence: "The first couplet is: People used to be monks, how can people become Buddhas?"

It turned out to be a very ingenious picture of dismantling the couplets!There are those who whisper and those who scratch their heads.But within a quarter of an hour, the uproar just now suddenly returned to silence, and there was no sound for a while.The emperor's face was already very ugly at this time, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.Su Xiaoxiao waited calmly in a corner of the banquet, and seemed to hide from Uwe. She really didn't want to see Uwe's face, for fear that he would tell what happened that night.Seeing this situation at this time, neither advancing nor retreating, she just felt that the degree of embarrassment was the most embarrassment she had ever encountered in her life.But I'm really not good at couplets or anything!Su Xiaoxiao thought helplessly.

While she was waiting to accept the emperor's furious anger, she suddenly saw Sima Yu writing a few words on the square table with his hand dipped in wine. Princess Wan, who was sitting next to him, looked sideways and immediately stood up and said, "Father Emperor , my son is right!"

The emperor suppressed his anger and said, "Well, Wan'er, give it a try."

"Women are humble as servants, but women can be called slaves." Princess Wan turned her head and asked, "Princess Liya, do you think it's right?"

For a while, there were endless praises, and such a neatly disassembled couplet is rare.Princess Liya's complacent expression disappeared, and she said sullenly: "It's neat, but the realm..." Uwe got up and interrupted Liya, standing in front of her and said: "Liya is not sensible, your majesty , Princess, please forgive me, Princess Wan is three years younger than Liya, it is really admirable to have such talent at this age!"

"Wan'er, I didn't expect you to improve your knowledge, very good." The emperor praised with a nod.

"When it comes to couplets, as Liang people, we can compare archery. But it's not appropriate to shoot arrows in front of the emperor. How about we switch to throwing pots?" Princess Wan said confidently as she stepped forward, with a calm expression on her face. .

Su Xiaoxiao gasped when she heard the words, it was good to match up, why did she provoke her?
Seeing that the other party intends to compete, how can there be any reason why Liya should not fight?But once I started, I regretted it.The key to drawing a bow and archery is to be steady, accurate and ruthless, and the key is to have strong arms, but this throwing pot looks similar, but in fact it requires skill, too much strength will not work, and neither will it work if too weak.Princess Leia was sweating profusely, but she only made three shots.On the other hand, Princess Wan on the other side was able to throw ten in a row with ease.Su Xiaoxiao's jaw was so shocked that her jaw would drop. How did she know that a rich lady like Princess Wan spends all day doing nothing but playing throwing pots, kicking cuju, kicking shuttlecock and so on. She is especially good at throwing pots. So handy.

"Acceptance, acquiescence!" Princess Wan deliberately bowed to Liya, with an uncontrollable air.

"You...you are cheating!" Liya scolded angrily, "I saw you whispering to the prince just now when we were pairing couplets, and you won against me only with his help. This time, you tricked me by throwing pots. My daughters all ride horses and shoot arrows, how can you throw some arrows into the pot to play games like a canary in a cage like you!"

"You!" Princess Wan blushed with anger.Princess Liya's outspoken words seemed to tighten the strings of the situation. All the guards guarding the banquet put their hands on the handles of their knives. It only takes an order from the emperor to draw their swords and kill the rebellious Liya. The princess took it.And Kang Guo's attendants also tensed up, ready to jump over to protect their master at any time.

Su Xiaoxiao has never seen such a battle before, her brain is running crazily, if she doesn't show up at this time, the show that has been rehearsed for a long time tonight is doomed to fail, this imperial garden is destined to be a fierce battle, no one is good Get out of the body, and the hostility between the two countries will lead to the war again, and your peaceful days will never return!She thought of the blood stains in that dream again... War is really the last thing she wants to see living in a peaceful age.

Thinking of this, she rushed to the emperor and knelt down in front of the emperor regardless of Chen Tingqiu's obstruction: "Long live the emperor, Liyuan has prepared a big gift for the emperor's birthday today, and also wants to present it to the prince and princess from the friendly country. Liang Guo is wise and gentle." , Kang is brave and good at fighting, and each has its own strengths. Once the princes and princesses of Kang see our performance and understand our culture better, they will definitely enhance our friendship. I hope the emperor will allow it."

The emperor looked at Su Xiaoxiao for a while, then said calmly: "If you want to act, do it well."

The tone of these six words is flat, but they are extremely important. If the performance fails, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the situation at this time. Not everyone can bear the responsibility.

But Xiao Xiao replied calmly: "Please give me 2 minutes to prepare, Your Majesty."

"Go."

At this time, the atmosphere in the garden had eased, and everyone began to discuss the next performance in low voices, and Princess Wan and Princess Liya also returned to their seats and sulked.When everyone was drinking and eating food, they suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and Su Xiaoxiao, dressed in purple clouds and colorful clothes, descended from the sky, like an exiled fairy, and the fairy air began to waft from nowhere around him, and the room was surrounded by clouds and mist. With the tactful libretto, magnificent fireworks bloomed in the sky, shining brightly on every face that looked up and praised.Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Tingqiu sang a good story about the love between an exiled immortal and a mortal. When they bid farewell for the last time, the two of them wanted to cry, which was very touching.

Princess Liya was stunned by the performance of this visual effect, she couldn't take her eyes off the whole process, and she slapped her palms red; Princess Wan stared blankly at Chen Tingqiu, who was exceptionally beautiful today; Xiao, was a little dazed for a moment, he never expected that the odds and ends that he helped her buy earlier could be so beautiful in her hands, like a miracle.Compared with the monotonous singing form before, this kind of performance is unheard of and unseen!

Uwe recognized Su Xiaoxiao as early as when she came forward to make a statement. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was shining brightly at this time with great interest, and then looked at the prince. The wine cup walked to Sima Yu's side, pointed to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "What does the prince think?"

Sima Yu, with a cold face, still frowned and drank his wine. It seemed that he was the only one who was not affected by everything at the scene. He glanced at Ubi lightly and replied, "It's good if the prince likes it."

"It's useless for me to like it. Can the prince give her to me?"

Sima Yu suddenly understood that Uwe was referring to Su Xiaoxiao and not acting, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "The prince is joking."

"Joke? I, Uwe, don't have the heart to joke. She said herself that she is your woman."

"Oh?" Sima Yu took a sip of his wine, looked up at Su Xiaoxiao under the bright fireworks, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
