"Oh, I'd better mention it." Wen Yu sighed, looking very sad, "Royal brother, am I stupid?"
The emperor was very surprised: "Sister, did you just know?"
The corner of Wen Yu's mouth twitched: "Then am I very vulgar and unworthy of the title of eldest princess? Am I not your biological sister?"
The emperor, who was originally smiling to see what kind of trick Wen Yu was going to do, suddenly became gloomy.
Even though the imperial sister is very stupid and behaves a bit absurdly, she is still the imperial sister of his compatriots and the eldest princess of the prosperous dynasty!
How dare someone dare to say this in front of the imperial sister!
The emperor said coldly: "Who did your sister hear this from?"
Wen Yu looked troubled: "They all said that."
"I just went to the Royal Garden and heard Chen Zhaoyi, Li Shunyi, Liu Mei, Song Mei, Wu Mei, Zhang Mei, Yun Mei, Gao Mei, Zhao Mei, Wang Cai Ren, Li Cai Ren, Huang Cai Ren, Sun Cai Ren..."
emperor:……
"Sister Royal..."
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet." Wen Yu continued, "Lu Cai, Qin Cai, Li Liang, Huang Liang, Chen Liang, a total of eighteen people. Liu Chun, there are no leaks, right?"
Liu Chun took out a piece of paper titled "The Eldest Princess's List" from his sleeve and nodded: "The princess didn't tell anything."
Wen Yu nodded with satisfaction: "These are the people, they said it."
emperor:……
"As soon as I heard they said I was not your biological sister, I got angry and scolded them. I had already left, but I thought I shouldn't scold them and should go back and apologize to them."
"I'm just a loser. I can't learn anything. I'm vulgar. I don't look like a eldest princess at all. I can only embarrass you and I'm not worthy of being your sister..."
"Bang!" The emperor's face was dripping with tears, and he slapped the table angrily, "Come here! Pass on my instructions to demote the concubines on the list of the eldest princess by one level. They will sit back and think about it for three months. There is no need to attend the New Year's banquet!"
After hearing this, Wen Yu quickly took the list from Liu Chun's hand and handed it to the palace attendant, and warned: "Don't miss out, eighteen people!"
Palace man:......
Then he ran behind the emperor, squeezed his shoulders, and said with a happy face: "I knew the emperor's younger brother was the best!"
The emperor shook his head and smiled helplessly.
He didn't know that the emperor's sister's little thoughts were written on her face after all, so it would be a good idea to use this to hit those who were talking behind her back.
At this time, Wen Yu suddenly asked: "Brother Huang, there is something I have been curious about for a long time."
The emperor asked: "What's the matter?"
Wen Yu said: "There are so many beauties in the harem, can you tell them apart?"
The emperor replied truthfully: "I can't tell."
Wen Yu:......
After leaving Hongde Palace, Liu Chun asked in a low voice: "Princess, that doesn't seem to be the case, right? Is it okay to say so?"
Wen Yu looked at her and smiled: "Did I tell a lie?"
Liu Chun thought for a while: "No."
Wen Yu shrugged: "Yes, I didn't tell a lie. They said those words originally. As for me, I just changed the order."
Seeing that Liu Chun still didn't understand, Wen Yu gave an example: "For example, what does it mean for a general to be defeated repeatedly in battles?"
Liu Chun frowned: "I keep losing in battles, I have no ability."
Wen Yu nodded: "What if I say that this general has suffered repeated defeats?"
Liu Chun was stunned.
"Similarly, if a bachelor goes into business and becomes prosperous and makes a lot of money, most people will think that he reeks of copper and think he is vulgar and not worthy of becoming a bachelor."
"But if you say that you are a businessman who is skilled in business, and he also studies knowledge besides doing business, and is as knowledgeable as a bachelor, then others will be in awe and think that he is a Confucian businessman."
"So, if you say the same thing in another order, it will be very different, but what you say is still true."
Liu Chun's eyes widened.
The venue of the New Year's Eve banquet was different from Wen Yu's expectation. It was not indoors, but outdoors in the cold weather.
But think about it, no matter how big the palace is, it can't accommodate so many people.
I can only say that God gave me face, and there was no snow.
Even because New Year banquets are always held in this garden, this originally ordinary garden was renamed New Year Garden.
It's so sloppy.
At this time, many ministers from the DPRK and China had gathered in the New Year Garden. They all sat in their seats in an orderly manner, occasionally raising their glasses to have a drink with the ministers and colleagues around them.
As for the seats for the women around him, they were all empty.
Because the banquet has not yet begun, these official ladies are admiring plum blossoms and composing poems at the other end of the garden.
As soon as Wen Yu entered the New Year Garden, she heard bursts of laughter like silver bells.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows, led Liu Chun towards the side of the laughter, and then secretly hid behind the rockery to watch the fun.
"Li Er, if you can't do it, that's all. The hairpin on your head will belong to me."
The speaker was a woman wearing pink clothes with a pretty face. She stared at Li Qingyi and smiled, with a trace of disdain hidden on her face.
She is just a concubine of the fifth-rank Shengjing Prefecture Yin, but she dares to attend the New Year's banquet? Don't even look at your own identity.
Li Qingyi pursed her lips and was not willing to hand over the hairpin to anyone else, but she was indeed no better than Linjiang Marquis' legitimate daughter in terms of poetry.
"I'm not good at writing poetry. It's Miss Chen who insists on competing with me, but I don't agree."
Chen Xiuling smiled: "So many people here have seen it. You didn't agree or refuse. Doesn't silence mean you agree by default?"
Among the official ladies present, Chen Xiuling had the highest status and was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Lin'an. Once she spoke, it was hard for the other ladies to directly oppose her.
When Li Qingyi saw this, he knew that she wanted to give him a blow, not for anything else, but because all the people present were legitimate daughters, and she was the only one who was a concubine.
She had no choice but to accept this dumb loss.
Li Qingyi slowly took off the silver hairpin on his head, feeling a little reluctant to part with it, but still put the hairpin on the stone table.
Chen Xiuling picked up the silver hairpin and turned it around in his hand, then showed a hint of disgust: "That's it, such a treasure? I don't think it's that good."
After saying that, he threw the hairpin directly into the snow like throwing garbage.
Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment, with an uncontrollable look of anger on his face, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Since Miss Chen doesn't like it, can I get this silver hairpin back?"
"Of course not." Chen Xiuling chuckled, "Whatever I win is mine. I can dispose of it how I want. Not to mention losing it, even if it is given to a beggar on the roadside, it has nothing to do with you."
Li Qingyi clenched her palms after hearing this.
At this time, Wen Yu behind the rockery:...
Isn't this the ancient version of bullying?
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came to her ears: "What are you doing, princess, hiding here?"
Wen Yu, who was concentrating on eating the melon, was so frightened that she had goosebumps all over her body.
She looked back and saw that it was Lin Yuzhi.
Today, he was wearing a red official robe, full of majesty, but his eyes were still light and calm.
Wen Yu patted her chest: "You are scary, do you know that you can scare people to death?"
