Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the noon banquet, the Crown Prince proposed a challenge, “To conform to tradition, today is the Qixi Festival, also known as the Double Seventh Festival. For such a romantic occasion, everyone can pose poems and songs.”
Although it was mentioned somewhat casually, the guests had probably already prepared for this occasion.
But when the Crown Prince issued the challenge, they had to ply.
The topic reached Liu Shimei, and she refused, saying, “I need to take care of King Dun Yu and look after my disciple. I have no time to pose poetry.”
In fact, anyone with eyes could see that King Dun yu was taking care of her and helping her with the child!
Moreover, she brought three maidservants as guards. What were they for?
“Wife, didn’t you used to enjoy participating in poetry gatherings?” Huangfu Lingyao was curious.
Liu Shimei, the most beautiful woman in the Imperial Capital and the top literary talent, had never shown him her prowess in literature. He had only heard about it from others.
Since he got to know her, he witnessed many of her other talents and saw her excellent handwriting but had never seen her pose poetry.
Liu Shimei shrugged and said, “Liking it before doesn’t mean I still like it now. I don’t know why I used to enjoy eating and posing poetry here at the same time.”
“Liking it before doesn’t mean you still like it now?” Huangfu Lingyao had initially wanted to witness his wife’s literary talent, but upon hearing this, he decisively changed his mind: better not let her steal the spotlight!
In the past, she liked the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince liked her as she used to be. If he made her show off again, what would she do if she caught the eye of Huangfu He later?
Liu Shimei smiled at him and said, “People change. I am now on the path of medicine. Let’s temporarily put aside those elegant matters.”
She said to put it aside, but she didn’t expect someone to immediately challenge her!
As soon as she finished speaking, someone raised their voice and said, “Eldest Miss Liu is proficient in the musical instrument, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but it seems she has been quite silent in the past six months. Today is the Qixi Festival. Shouldn’t we have a poem to liven things up?”
The words came from the main seat, but it wasn’t what Huangfu He said.
It was Huangfu Yao!
Hearing this voice, Huangfu Lingyao lowered his eyelids to cover the inexplicable gloom in his eyes. He thought, ‘I’ve been busy chasing my wife, and I haven’t had the chance to settle the score with you. Now you’re here on your own accord!’
Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow, thinking, ‘You, Huangfu Yao, used to bully my silly puppy. I was planning to settle the score with you after officially being part of the family, but now you’re so eager?’
The inner thoughts of this engaged couple were different, but unexpectedly, they reached a unified decision – when trash es to the door, don’t let it off easy!
Huangfu Yao’s words continued, “Eldest Miss Liu, you are too low-key now. It’s really unlike you! You are the number one beauty in the imperial capital. How did you end up with my second brother and bee so down-and-out?”
In the end, the purpose was to mock Huangfu Lingyao!
Huangfu Lingyao’s face changed drastically. He stood up and walked to the railing, saying, “Huangfu Yao, if you don’t shut up, I’ll knock your teeth out!”
He could think this way about himself, but he couldn’t stand others saying he wasn’t worthy of his wife!
“Haha!” Huangfu Yao laughed heartily, “Second Brother, it’s not that I look down on you, but honestly, Eldest Miss Liu being engaged to you is like putting flowers in cow dung!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shimei couldn’t sit still anymore.
She also walked to the railing, grabbed her restless husky, raised her voice, and calmly said, “Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your kind words. This humble woman appreciates it!”
Liu Shimei finally made her appearance!
