Chapter 144
Originally, the poems they wrote were just average, but the smug smiles on their faces were really hard for Lin Zaozao to stand looking at.
To be honest, she didn't even bother pretending today. Her original purpose in coming to this flower appreciation banquet was to avenge her husband.
Now looking at Princess Qianyue and those young masters and ladies showing off their literary talents, she really felt nauseous.
After Princess Qianyue and those young ladies had gone around composing poems for two rounds, Lin Zaozao just propped up her chin and blankly watched them without saying anything.
At this time, Lin Zaozao's silent performance was taken by Princess Qianyue and the others to mean that she didn't know how to compose poems, so she could only use silence to cover up the embarrassment of her inability.
But this flower appreciation banquet was a trap deliberately set up for her by the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country, so how could they let Princess Mingzhu get away with it so easily!
Today, they must take the opportunity of composing poems to ruin Princess Mingzhu's reputation.
"Princess Mingzhu, we've been composing poems for so long, can you do us the favor of composing a few poems for us too!"
Lin Zaozao, who was bored, immediately became interested when she heard Princess Qianyue's words.
It was finally her turn to make a move.
The singing from before still hadn't taught this Princess Qianyue a lesson. And she still dared to try to frame her under the guise of composing poems today.
This stupid thing with a butt for brains!
Composing poems! If she doesn't mess up Princess Qianyue later, she wouldn't be Lin Zaozao.
Since Princess Qianyue was asking for death, why should she stand on ceremony with this old cow! She still hadn't avenged Ji Fantian yet!
She would mock her first, then slowly get to the main point.
Lin Zaozao looked at Princess Qianyue elegantly drinking while leaning against her master's embrace, then looked at the pair's green outfits.
So a crooked poem immediately floated into her mind.
"Ahem! Sister Qianyue, I have a few poems I want to give to you and your master. It's just that I'm afraid my literary talent is not good and you will look down on me."
Upon hearing Lin Zaozao's self-deprecating words, Princess Qianyue and her master Lvzhi's eyebrows twitched.
Suddenly, a bad premonition flashed through their minds.
After all, the song "Two Oxen" that Lin Zaozao had sung before was still fresh in their minds!
The current Princess Qianyue didn't want Lin Zaozao to compose poems anymore.
Because she knew clearly that this Princess Mingzhu didn't play by the rules when she did things.
Let alone being afraid of embarrassment!
Princess Qianyue, who had wanted to reject Lin Zaozao's singing, could only sigh softly and nod in agreement under the covert threat from the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country's eyes.
Under her mother empress's threats, how could she not agree?
Just now, she clearly saw her mother put poison into that dead girl Mingzhu's wine cup, but why was there no reaction from her at all now?
But when Princess Qianyue met Lin Zaozao's mocking gaze, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and say to Lin Zaozao with a smile.
"Little sister Mingzhu, please go ahead."
Princess Qianyue looked at Lin Zaozao and said with some difficulty word by word.
"Ahem...ahem..."
Lin Zaozao cleared her throat, tilted her head and winked at Han Ye who was sitting upright above her, then turned her head and started her impromptu composition.
Today, she, Lin Zaozao, would definitely make a name for herself in one battle.
"Listen up everyone, I'm going to start composing poems now. Remember, no matter whether my poems sound good or not later, you all have to applaud for me! After all, my hands hurt from applauding for you guys just now."
"Definitely, definitely..."
"That's natural."
"Princess Mingzhu, we will not only applaud, but also have the historiographers record down the poems you compose for Princess Qianyue and her master and spread them around."
"......"
Seeing the ill-intentioned smiles of those young masters and ladies, Lin Zaozao retracted the darkness in her eyes. She walked to Princess Qianyue's front and looked at her and her husband before starting her composition.
"Lotus leaves floating in the lotus pond
Male frogs hugging female frogs by the waist
Fooling around openly in broad daylight
The female frog said to the male frog, you're so bad!"
As Lin Zaozao's sarcastic voice fell, the zither music at the banquet stopped abruptly.
Those young masters and ladies were still holding up their wine cups, stunned and dumbstruck watching Lin Zaozao. Even when the wine spilled onto their clothes, they were oblivious.
Now everyone at the banquet had been brainwashed by Lin Zaozao's words about the male and female frogs.
But when they thought about the song "Two Oxen" that had spread in the border towns a few days ago, those present didn't feel there was anything wrong with Lin Zaozao's current "Frog" poem either.
It was just that once this frog poem spread out from here, the only ones who would lose face would be Princess Qianyue and her master, and not the Princess Mingzhu in front of them.
This Princess Mingzhu really lived up to her reputation, her mouth was vicious!
The silent banquet was broken by Han Ye's light laughter.
Because of Han Ye's laugh, Princess Qianyue's master Lvzhi immediately regained his senses. He quickly withdrew his hand that was around Princess Qianyue's waist, and sat there somewhat at a loss and annoyed.
"Hey hey! Does everyone think my poem is not good? Why aren't you applauding for me! Do you have any opinions about my poem!"
"This poem obviously doesn't sound harmonious when you listen to it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't sound good, since this poem didn't turn out well, then my next one will sound a little better."
Lin Zaozao looked at Princess Qianyue's livid face and raised her eyebrows at her, then said loudly again.
"Moonlight in front of the bed,
Two pairs of shoes on the ground.
A male and a female dog on the bed,
Having a good time together."
"Mingzhu, you're courting death!"
Princess Qianyue slapped the table heavily and pointed at Lin Zaozao, shouting harshly.
"What? You big cow, you wanna fight with me! I'm a strongman who can take on you two by myself!"
Lin Zaozao threw the wine cup in her hand onto the ground and said coldly.
With the sound of the wine cup shattering on the ground, the atmosphere at the flower appreciation banquet instantly became tense again.
Those panicking young masters and ladies who were shocked by Lin Zaozao's doggerel poems, when they saw Lin Zaozao's suddenly cold face, they were so frightened that they didn't dare move an inch.
After all, these young masters and ladies knew clearly in their hearts that they were just pawns used by the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country to humiliate Mingzhu.
But when they really faced off against Lin Zaozao, if the timing was wrong, they could only be abandoned by the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country.
Even if these people were stupid, how could they not know the sinister schemes of the Female Emperor of Fengshuo Country!
Lin Zaozao walked in front of Princess Qianyue and looked at her heaving chest, her eyes flashing with disgust.
She, Lin Zaozao, didn't have many flaws, but she had one.
That was being extremely protective.
Just like before she transmigrated, she could hit her younger brother, but no one else could even say a bad word about him.
Moreover, Ji Fantian was her husband. He was the first person she saw when she opened her eyes after arriving in this world.
Such a fairy-like character was almost burned to death by the damned Princess Qianyue in front of her.
At the moment when the city gates were broken down, when she saw Ji Fantian looking so decadent and walking towards death,
She really felt so distressed that her liver almost exploded.
Now seeing this culprit still arrogantly showing off in front of her and calling her sister,
To be honest, it only made her feel disgusted.
"Princess Qianyue, what? I've only recited two poems and you can't handle it anymore?
Do you know, at that time when you wanted to burn down the border town, if I hadn't arrived in time, or if I wasn't Princess Mingzhu but was instead a village woman called Lin Zaozao from the village that fell into the water.
Then wouldn't my husband Ji Fantian and the Divine Doctor Clan have been burned alive by you?"
Seeing Princess Qianyue silent, Lin Zaozao directly grabbed her collar and said,
"Big cow, when we entered the border town at that time, it was a scene of hell on earth inside.
Everywhere on the big streets were smelly corpses and the moans of the living. The few people who had survived by luck had no light in their eyes at all, even the sky above the border town we saw was gray.
Among the dead, apart from those who had died from the plague, at least two thousand had starved to death.
So many people's corpses, my soldiers burned them for a full two days before they were finished burning them. Among those corpses, there were many children who had not yet grown up.
How could you do something as insane as burning the border city! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"But Mingzhu, my mother had already punished me at that time. You were there when the Empress Dowager beat me."
"She punished you! Ha! But you are still standing here unharmed, while those dead people are really dead.
Among those people, apart from the children, there were also several dozen female corpses. The women of Fengshuo Country have already become scarce, but you let those women die.
Qianyue, as a princess of a country, eating the offerings of the common people, do you still have a heart! If the common people of Fengshuo Country die out, then what kind of princess are you worth!"
Lin Zaozao's words froze the expressions of those young masters and ladies.
After all, although they were aristocrats living in ivory towers, how could they not know about something happening in a border city!
Even if they knew, they were used to being high up there, how could they care about other people's life and death.
In short, Fengshuo Country was rotten from the inside.
Now Princess Qianyue's incident of burning the border city was blatantly exposed by Lin Zaozao at the banquet, in addition to feeling shocked, most of them felt helpless.
Just as the atmosphere at the banquet was tense, the Empress of Fengshuo Country said coldly from above.
"Qianyue, apologize to the people of the border city and to Mingzhu!"
Hearing the voice of the Empress of Fengshuo Country, a flicker of ridicule flashed in Lin Zaozao's eyes.
Hmph! If Princess Qianyue was the knife in the matter of the border city, then this Empress of Fengshuo Country was the one wielding the knife.
And now she still wants to play the peacemaker with fake benevolence, it's really disgusting.
Just now, she even put poison in her own wine glass. If it wasn't for the system's timely reminder, plus her own immunity to the poison she used. Otherwise her body would have been stiff already.
But it's not time to tear off her mask yet.
Wait a little longer!
After all, it's not time yet!
Hearing the words of the Empress of Fengshuo Country, Princess Qianyue was about to apologize, but Lin Zaozao stopped her in time.
"Princess Qianyue, you have already done the wrong thing, as for the three words 'I'm sorry', it's best if you don't say them. If you really feel guilty, then I hope you will be a good person in your next life.
It will also save you from doing too much evil, damaging your nether virtue, and only being able to be reborn into the animal realm in your next life, really turning into a big milk cow, which would not be good."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao patted Princess Qianyue's arm and was about to leave when the dog system appeared again.
