Splendid concubine

Chapter 18 Unexpectedly
Seeing that the vicious dog was about to pounce on Liu Xuanshuang, the Seventh Prince Xiao Qi drew out his sword and rushed forward, chopping off the dog's head with one blow!Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and Prime Minister Liu also recovered from the previous shock. The dog rushed in too suddenly, so he didn't have time to call for his servants!

"Shuang'er, thank you Seventh Prince for your rescue. If it wasn't for you, my lord, I'm afraid my life would be lost. Shuang'er has nothing to repay, and I can only wait for the next life to repay." Liu Xuanshuang still had tears in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Qi pitifully, Xiao Qi's heart was about to melt.

When Liu Ruyi heard Liu Xuanshuang say this, she couldn't help feeling amused. Isn't it popular to talk about repayment in the afterlife?When she said this, Liu Xuanshuang really looked down on Xiao Qi!When Liu Xuanshuang was playing the zither, Liu Ruyi had asked Xiangyi to put medicine that would drive the dog crazy in the watchdog's food. As long as the zither sounded, the dog would lose its mind and rush to the source of the zither sound!
Xiao Qi withdrew his sword, shook his head and said, "Miss, it's good that you're fine."

Liu Xuanshuang was not grateful because Xiao Qi saved her life, after all, she despised him very much, but without him, she really didn't know what to do!But her goal has always been to be the best, even if she fails this time, she will not give up.

Not long after, a servant rushed in panting, "My lord, I really deserve to die! It's all the servant's fault, it shouldn't be that I didn't keep a close eye on the dog, but the servant really doesn't know why the dog listened to the piano The sound was crazy. Fortunately, no casualties were caused!"

When the governor heard that servant say that, he couldn't help but whispered in his heart.Today he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and every accident that happened was related to this woman.It seems that his previous idea was not wrong.As the candidate for the crown princess, she is not suitable.If she marries the prince, I'm afraid Chu will be in crisis in the future!This woman is ominous!

"Bold! Do you mean that the sound of the young lady's piano drives the dog crazy? Come on, drag him down, and give me a hard [-] board." Prime Minister Liu was furious, this servant was too dumb to speak. , must be well punished!Otherwise, where is his majesty?Miss can't become an ominous person because of what he said!
"My lord, please forgive me!" No matter how loud the servant shouted, no one would pity him, let alone intercede for him.

"Shuang'er, you are frightened, come here, please help Miss back to her seat." Prime Minister Liu said.

Liu Xuanshuang's legs were still weak at the moment, and when she was helped back to her seat, she saw Prime Minister Liu's reproachful eyes, and she knew that this time the selection of the crown princess was absolutely hopeless for her.Why does playing the piano attract mad dogs?A poisonous snake was attracted during the day today, and a mad dog was attracted tonight, who the hell wants to hurt himself so much!She clenched her hands tightly, she must find out, if you don't make it easy for me, I will definitely not make it easy for you!

Xiao Qi looked at Liu Xuanshuang whose face hadn't recovered yet, and couldn't help worrying in his heart. Thinking of her weak appearance before, and thinking of being the one who saved her, I believe she would remember him deeply, if it wasn't for him, her injury would be minor, It would be bad if she was disfigured, so she wouldn't be able to become his princess. Thinking of what she said was nothing to repay, I felt very proud.

Liu Ruyi stood up at this moment.Everyone's eyes could not help but fall on her.

"Father, let me sing a song. Surprise everyone."

"Yi'er, you're still young, and you're not good at singing, so let's watch the show!" Prime Minister Liu was worried that she would make a fool of herself, and secondly, that she would shine again.

The governor glanced at Liu Ruyi, and then asked Prime Minister Liu: "Prime Minister, what is the name of your second daughter?"

Prime Minister Liu grumbled inwardly, but he still replied, "Her name is Liu Ruyi, and Ruyi is the wishful thing in everything going well."

"That's a good name. Since the prime minister's eldest daughter has come out to perform, why not let the second daughter also come up to perform? I don't think Ruyi can do anything like what you said."

Prime Minister Liu laughed.It seems that it cannot be stopped.He had no choice but to say: "Then Yier will come up and sing a song."

Liu Ruyi walked up slowly, and the servants had already cleaned up the ground.

Compared to other young ladies who are so gorgeously dressed, Liu Ruyi's dress is very simple, which is precisely the reason why she attracted his attention.

Liu Mengxue was not optimistic about Liu Ruyi, so Liu Mengxue thought to herself, what good song can you sing?Must be vulgar!

Liu Xuanshuang watched Liu Ruyi go up, her teeth itching with hatred in her heart, she must be prepared this time.Otherwise, how dare she propose to sing a song?It seems that tonight she deliberately made it difficult for her!

Liu Ruyi thought of a song that was very popular in her previous life, but it hasn't appeared yet. She wants to use this song to become famous!
She cleared her throat and began to sing.

Sleeve wind stained with rain and flowers under the table to drink together
Qingsi Fengling, who is the cause of the three thousand sorrows
Who sees the wine Dongli alone
With whom did Zeng Yi make an appointment with Pavilion West

Beacon smoke cavalry Jin Ge clang in the wind
Spring and autumn seasons, who remembers the past
Don't get drunk
Qingsi Fengling, who is the cause of the three thousand sorrows
Who sees the wine Dongli alone
The orchid fragrance at the sleeves is exhausted

over the red dust
This song is soft, it is a song created by the oiran in the previous life. It tells the love story of the oiran. The oiran was originally a humble daughter of the common people. Only her and her elder brother depended on each other since childhood. Her parents died young, so Her elder brother took up the burden of raising her younger sister very early on, and made a living as a hunter. Her younger sister was clever and beautiful since she was a child. Once, when her younger sister went to the street to sell the fabrics she embroidered, she met a son from a rich family. Molested, very scared, so she called for help, a general passed by and rescued her, from then on she developed a love for the general, but unfortunately, once the general died on the battlefield, and her brother died because of being bitten by a tiger With a broken leg, she could only stay at home, so the woman went to a brothel to perform as a performer, and finally became an oiran.She used this song to recall the general. As soon as this song came out, it became popular all over the country. At that time, Liu Ruyi loved this song very much, so she practiced it for a long time.At first it was just because I loved it, but now I didn't expect it to come in handy!

After singing, Liu Ruyi didn't hear the expected applause. She couldn't help but feel very puzzled. Could it be that it's too early to become popular?Just when she was a little disappointed, the applause went from sparse at the beginning to thunderous applause at the end!
"This song should only exist in the sky, it's rare to hear it in the world!" The governor said with a sigh.

Liu Ruyi looked at the governor and smiled slightly.The governor should have a good impression of her now, that's fine, the more people there are, the better.Although she didn't know why her father and the others were so pleased with the governor this year, she was sure that their wishful thinking had come to nothing. Now it was her Liu Ruyi who caught his eyes. She believed that the governor had affirmed her, and her status would be After today there is a change!

When Prime Minister Liu saw this scene, he realized that his wishful thinking had come to nothing. Everything was not going according to his own ideas. What should be paid attention to was not paid attention to, and what should be ignored was not ignored. Liu Xuanshuang was Liu Ruyi, and it seemed that his hopes had come to nothing.But he didn't understand how she could sing such a song, who taught her?

Liu Mengxue and Liu Xuanshuang looked at Liu Ruyi with disbelief in their eyes!How is this possible, how can she sing such a song when she stays in Taoyuan all day long!Liu Mengxue still remembered Liu Ruyi's jokes because she didn't know how to read. Everyone in the mansion knew the level of the second lady Liu Ruyi, and no one was willing to take a second look at her, but her current performance made people have to look at her with admiration!

Liu Ruyi looked at their expressions and sneered in her heart. This is just the beginning, and there will be better things to do in the future.You don't want to bully me so easily!

Prime Minister Liu's eyes fell on Liu Ruyi. How long has it been since he looked at her properly? He has forgotten her in a corner and never paid her much attention. When did she become like this?Can't help but impress!
Liu Ruyi wanted to sit back in her seat, but Xiao Qi said, "I don't know if the second lady would like to compete with me in shooting pots. Whoever throws more can let the person who throws less do one thing?"

Liu Ruyi's face was a bit ugly, because she remembered the past life when she saw Xiao Qi, and she didn't know why Xiao Qi asked her to compare shooting pots with him, she always felt weird.But anyway, she is not who she used to be now, and she will definitely beat him!So Liu Ruyi said with a smile: "Okay, but please come first, my lord."

Xiao Qi is confident about shooting pots. After all, this is something he is good at. Seeing that Liu Ruyi is a little girl, she must be inferior to him, so he asks for pot shooting.The reason why he asked to compete with Liu Ruyi in shooting pots was because he found that the governor valued Liu Ruyi very much. The governor came here this time to choose the crown princess. If she becomes the crown princess, if he wins the request If Liu Ruyi matched him and Liu Xuanshuang, he believed it would be possible!

"Okay, then the king will not be polite!" Xiao Qi took ten arrows and shot them one by one from five steps away.

"Second Miss, come on." Xiao Qi said with a smile.

"Then, my lord, this lady is making a fool of myself!" Liu Ruyi took the arrows and hit them one by one.

Xiao Qi's eyes widened in disbelief!How is this possible!She is obviously a weak woman!

"What should we do? My lord, we are in a draw!" Liu Ruyi said to Xiao Qi with a smile!

"Forget it, you won! After all, you are a woman." Although he said so, he refused to admit defeat, he just didn't expect her to be so powerful!
"Acceptance, the prince owes me something! But I don't plan to ask you to do anything now, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, a gentleman can't chase after a word."

Prime Minister Liu looked at Liu Ruyi thoughtfully, she had really changed a lot, it seemed that he had time to have a good talk with her.

Prime Minister Liu looked at Xiao Qi and said: "The little girl has always been playful, so it's normal for her to be good at this. Please don't mind too much, my lord!"

"Prime Minister, I naturally won't argue with my little girl. I didn't expect my lady to be so forthright, as good as an ordinary man!"

"My lord has won the prize."
