Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 35 Heartbeat
"Girls, come, come, this is our famous Li Wufeng in the Northwest, Master Li, come and get acquainted." Wei Zhongxing lined up the crowd and pushed Li Wufeng in front of the three women, the situation was a little awkward for a while.
Many noble children around were a little dissatisfied, but since the master brought Wufeng himself, it was hard to say anything, but the three women were still calm, the oldest one stood up to greet, and the other two They also stood up, but they were obviously not so willing.
"Li Qingke, Li Qingshi, and Li Qingyun have met Master Li." The voice was soft and pure with an imperial Jiangnan accent.
Seeing the eyes of the three elegant and pure girls like angels in the world all fall on his face, Wufeng, who is hard to change his face even in the face of thousands of troops, feels his heart pounding, and secretly scolds himself for being worthless , while trying to keep calm, he smiled back and said: "Li Wufeng has seen the three princesses."
"Hey, we are all young people, don't be so reserved, okay, you guys continue to talk, the old man still has guests to greet." Wei Zhongxing winked at Wufeng proudly, turned around and left, leaving his heart behind. Wufeng cursed endlessly.
Seeing some silence, the older princess Li Qingke, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, broke the deadlock with a smile: "Master Li, we were just talking about the development and changes of poetry in the empire in the past hundred years. From the imperial family, what do you think about this?"
Wufeng's face, who was pretending to be smiling, immediately became a little stiff, and he felt terrible in his heart. Seeing that the eyes of everyone around him were on him, many of them were full of sarcasm, obviously wanting to see him. joke.
"Uh, well, I'm the only one here. I'd better listen to the audience's comments first." It was really difficult to find the right words for a while, so Wufeng had to retreat and withdraw temporarily. It's better to make a fool of yourself. The aristocratic children of these imperial capitals usually have nothing to do, and they are very arty, and they are more or less dabbled in poetry and poetry. Although Wufeng was born in a noble family, he left home since he was a child, and his family did not give him more education in this area. Really a layman on this.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone including the two younger princesses showed disdain, and even the older princess was greatly surprised. It is impossible to know nothing about poetry, so how could you say such weak words.
"Lord Li, you don't need to be modest. Although the three Qingke sisters have lived in a remote place in Yuejing for a long time, they have always admired the culture of the upper dynasty. Now they are lucky to come to Beijing. I sincerely hope to hear your opinions. Please give me your advice." Li Qingke thought that Wufeng was being polite, so he invited him again.
"Princess Qingke, Master Li joined the army since childhood and lived in the northwest frontier for a long time. I'm afraid he is a little unfamiliar with these poems and articles." It is very respectful. These two sentences of his were clearly an excuse for Wufeng, but they were actually meant to be sarcasm and contempt.
"Lord Li guards the frontier and guards the frontier. Qingke admires him very much for his hard work." The princess Qingke was very obedient, she took a look at Wufeng's face, and passed the words without showing a trace.
On the contrary, Wufeng himself is very open-minded. He is not good at this aspect, so why bother to fight to win or lose? He just smiled lightly and didn't talk to him.
Seeing that Wufeng hadn't spoken yet, the children of the nobles became lively again, and each began to express their own opinions, all determined to impress the beauty in front of her and win her favor.
Wu Feng looked like an outsider, standing aside and quietly listening to their show off, he could only hear the young man in a brocade suit say: "We all have heard of Princess Qingshi's talent and name in the imperial capital. The five-character quatrains are quite accomplished, why don't we ask Princess Qing Shi to perform a recent new work for us, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, I am honored to listen to the works recited by the talented Princess Qingshi in the Eastern Continent. Tonight's New Year's Eve party is not in vain, do you think so?" Another voice immediately followed suit, and everyone also They all agreed.
Although the princess Qingshi was still a little shy, she had a faint look of self-esteem. Under the pursuit of everyone, she finally agreed to everyone's request and agreed to recite a piece of her own work.
Wufeng looked on coldly, and felt more and more boring. If he wanted to say goodbye and leave, he was afraid that people would say he was rude. Seeing that the three princesses and the others didn't pay much attention to him, and they were all intoxicated in the beautiful poem recitation of Princess Qingshi, they felt even more desolate.
"A business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugated country, she still sings flowers across the river." Wufeng snorted softly, couldn't help but let out, sighed, and then retreated quietly.
Just as Wufeng turned to leave, Li Qing, who had been observing Wufeng from the corner of his eye, seemed to have heard Wufeng's ironic words, and his face changed, seeing that everyone was still clustered around him. The younger sister was intoxicated by her side, so she asked a few people around her for leave and left the crowd.
"Master Li, please wait a moment."
Wufeng turned around in surprise, and saw Li Qingke's moving figure chasing up from behind, "Oh, Princess Qingke, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."
After walking a few steps, Li Qing could walk side by side with Wufeng. Only then did Wufeng realize that this princess is not short at all, not at all petite and dainty like ordinary Yuejing women, she has a faint virgin body. The fragrance hovered around Wufeng's side vaguely, and Wufeng's pace slowed down.
"Master Li, you seem to have some opinions on Sister Qingke?" At this moment, a trace of worry floated on the face of the beautiful woman beside her.
"Oh? I can't tell. It's just that I don't like the poems and songs very much, so I had to run away." Wufeng explained while walking.
"Really? Qingke seems to have heard someone reciting a famous line from the famous poet Du Mu in your country just now. Could it be that Qingke heard it wrong?" A blush welled up on Li Qingke's cheeks.
"Uh, this ``````" Wufeng once again fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. He didn't expect this girl's ears to be so good that she could hear what he said unintentionally.
"Although Qingke is stupid, he also knows that those two lines of poems are satirizing the people who have subjugated the country. Could it be that your lord is mocking Qingke and the three sisters for forgetting the humiliation of subjugation?" Tears welled up in his eyes, and his tone was pitiful.
Wufeng yelled bad luck in his heart, he didn't expect this girl to have such a sharp mouth, she grabbed her handle and refused to give an inch, but on the surface she had a lovely and pitiful appearance, which made people feel pity.
"Well, Wufeng has absolutely no such intentions. Alas, even if I made a mistake, I hereby solemnly apologize to Princess Qingke. What do you think?" If you bully girls yourself, isn't that an excuse for those who want to fight the injustice? Wufeng quickly apologized again and again.
"Hmph, I've bullied him, so can I simply apologize and settle down?" The girl's face was still full of chills, and she obviously refused to let it go.
"Then what should the princess do?" Wufeng had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.
"Well, then please Master Li to accompany Qing Ke for a walk in the garden, okay?" There was a mischievous smile on the beauty's face.
Wufeng took a deep breath and nodded to show his respect.
The garden is so big that even the paths among the plants are enough for three people to walk in parallel. The moonlight shone faintly, and everything seemed so quiet, the hustle and bustle in the hall seemed to be left far away.
The two of them didn't speak, they just walked quietly along the path.
"Master Li, do you think Qingke sisters are a little shameless? The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and they still have the mind to come to your banquet!" Suddenly, the girl who was walking silently asked such a sharp question, which made Wu Feng feel a little bit embarrassed. Time is hard to answer.
"You don't need to hide it. I know you have a bad impression of us. Although we are daughters, we also want to do something for our country, but under the current situation, what do you think we can do?!" The words became Somewhat sad and indignant, the girl became emotional, "The dignified empire usually ruled the roost, but now it is helpless in the face of the destruction and annexation of its neighbors and vassal states, and they are even defeated. Tell me, what hope do we have?! What should we do? What should I do? Should I just wait silently like this or give up completely? Or should I beg the robbers to show kindness and return my home?"
Wufeng was dumbfounded, he couldn't answer the question raised by the girl in front of him, just like the question raised by Wei Zhongxing just now, this is a complicated question, and it cannot be explained clearly or come up with countermeasures in a few words.
Facing the aggressive offensive of the Machi Khans ~IndoMTL.com~ The exhausted empire really doesn't have much energy to take care of other people's affairs. It is the limit of the empire to accommodate the government-in-exile and give moral support , As for the few battles on the south line, in Wufeng's view, it was purely superficial superficiality, and wanting to win a battle without sufficient preparation is simply wishful thinking, no one can do it, not even himself. Of course, Wufeng didn't say this, he couldn't bear to hit the girl who was already in grief and indignation.
After venting her depressed emotions, the girl seemed to have regained her composure. Seeing that Wufeng was still standing there silently, the girl gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Qingke lost her composure a little bit. , Your Excellency laughed."
Shaking his head silently, an understandable expression floated on Wufeng's face. He didn't expect that the steady and quiet girl had so many thoughts in her heart. It seemed that he had made a mistake. He said after a long time: It's normal for Wufeng to feel the pain of losing his homeland. At the beginning, Wufeng used the weak to resist the strong, that is, he couldn't bear to see innocent people abandon their wives and children, be displaced, and be slaughtered by the enemy for nothing, so he rose up to resist."
Sighing lightly, the girl said faintly: "It would be great if Yuejing could have a pillar of wisdom and courage like an adult."
"Princess is serious. Wufeng was only lucky enough to win two battles. How can the princess value it so much? It's cool and cold at night, princess, let's go in." Wufeng said.
"Well, alright, Master Li, don't call me Princess Qingke anymore. People who have lost their country, it's ominous to mention it. You can just call me Qingke. How about I call you Big Brother Li?" A touching blush flashed across his face, even in the dark night, Wufeng could see it so clearly, he couldn't help being ecstatic, and forgot to answer for a while.
