"Girls, come on, come on, this is our Mr. Li Wufeng, who is famous in the northwest, come and get to know him." Wei Zhongxing lined up the crowd and pushed Li Wufeng in front of the three girls. The situation was a little awkward for a while.
Many noble children around were a little dissatisfied, but since the master brought Wu Feng in person, it was difficult to say anything. However, the three women were still calm. The oldest one stood up to greet him, and the other two women also stood up. Yes, but obviously not so willing.
"Li Qingke, Li Qingshi, and Li Qingyun have met Mr. Li." The voice had an imperial Jiangnan accent, soft and pure.
Seeing the eyes of the three elegant and pure girls, who were like angels on earth, falling on his face, Wu Feng, who could not change his face even in the face of thousands of troops, felt his heart pounding. He secretly cursed himself for being useless and working hard. Remaining calm, he replied with a smile: "Li Wufeng has met three princesses."
"Hey, we are all young people. Don't be so formal. Okay, you can continue talking. I still have guests to greet." Wei Zhongxing winked at Wufeng proudly and turned away, leaving him cursing in his heart. Of no front.
Seeing some silence, the elder princess Li Qingke, who was actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, smiled and broke the deadlock: "Master Li, we were just talking about the development and changes of poetry in the empire in the past hundred years. I heard that you are also from the imperial noble family. Everyone, what do you think about this?"
Wufeng's face, who was pretending to smile, immediately became a little stiff, and he was feeling terrible. He saw the eyes of everyone around him falling on him, and many of them were full of ridicule, obviously wanting to see his joke.
"Uh, this, I'm here, I'd better listen to your comments first." It was difficult to find the right words for a while, so Wu Feng had to retreat instead of advance, and temporarily withdraw. Even if he weakened his prestige, it was better than making a fool of himself on the spot. The aristocratic children of these imperial capitals usually have nothing to do and are very arty. They are more or less involved in poetry and poetry. Although Wu Feng was born in a noble family, he left home when he was young, and his family did not give him more education in this area. He is indeed a layman in this regard.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone, including the two younger princesses, showed disdain. Even the older princess was surprised. In her opinion, it was impossible for Li Wufeng, who was born in the imperial noble family, to I don’t know anything about poetry, so how could I say such weak words
"Master 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 previous dynasty. Now I am lucky enough to come to Beijing. I sincerely hope to hear your opinions and ask for your enlightenment." Li Qingke Shang thought Wu Feng was being polite, so he invited him again.
"Princess Qingke, Master Li has joined the army since he was a child and has lived in the northwest border for a long time. I'm afraid he is a little unfamiliar with these poems and articles." The person who spoke was a young man in a green shirt with a proud look on his face, but he was respectful to Princess Qingke. tight. His two sentences were clearly meant to defend Wu Feng, but they actually meant sarcasm and contempt.
"Master Li guarded the border and guarded the border. His hard work and meritorious service have made Qing Ke admire him very much." Princess Qing Ke was very obedient. She glanced at Wu Feng's face and said the words quietly.
On the contrary, Wu Feng took a very open-minded view. He was not good at this aspect, so why bother fighting for victory? He just smiled lightly and did not say anything.
Seeing that Wu Feng still showed no sign of speaking, the noble disciples became lively again, each talking about their own opinions, hoping to leave a deep impression in front of the beauty and win her favor.
Wu Feng seemed like an outsider, standing aside and listening to their show off quietly. He could only hear the young man in the middle school uniform saying: "We all have heard about the talent of Princess Qingshi in the imperial capital. We are so impressed by the five-character quatrains." You are quite accomplished, why don't we ask Princess Qing Shi to perform a recent new piece for us, can you guys agree?"
"Okay, having the honor to listen to the works recited by the talented Princess Qing Shi in the Eastern Continent is not in vain tonight's New Year's Eve event, don't you think?" Another voice immediately followed suit, and everyone also agreed. .
Although Princess Qingshi was still a little shy, she had a hint of pride. Under the admiration of everyone, she finally agreed to everyone's request and agreed to recite one of her own works.
Wu Feng watched with cold eyes, feeling more and more boring. He wanted to say goodbye and leave, but he was afraid that people would say he was rude. Seeing that the three princesses and everyone else did not pay much attention to him, they were all immersed in the beautiful poem recitation of Princess Qingshi, and felt even more neglected.
"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of her country's subjugation, but she still sings songs across the river." Wu Feng snorted softly, couldn't help but sigh, and then quietly retreated.
Just when Wu Feng turned to leave, Li Qingke, who had been observing Wu Feng from the corner of his eye, seemed to have heard Wu Feng's sarcastic words. His face changed and he saw that everyone was still crowding around his two sisters. Feeling so intoxicated, he took a leave of absence from the people around him and left the crowd.
"Master Li, please wait a moment."
Wu Feng turned around in surprise and saw Li Qingke's beautiful figure chasing after her from behind, "Oh, Princess Qingke, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."
After walking a few steps, Li Qingke and Wu Feng walked side by side. Wu Feng realized that the princess was not short at all. She was not as petite and delicate as ordinary Yue Jing women. She had a faint virgin body fragrance. Ruowu lingered around Wufeng, and Wufeng's pace slowed down.
"Master Li, you seem to have some opinions about Sister Qingke?" A hint of worry appeared on the smooth and porcelain face of the beauty next to 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." Wu Feng explained while strolling.
"Really? Qingke just seemed to hear someone reciting the famous lines of Du Mu, a famous poet in the previous dynasty of your country. Did Qingke hear it wrong?" A blush rose on Li Qingke's cheeks.
"Uh, this..." Wu Feng once again fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. He didn't expect that this girl's ears were so good that she could actually hear what she said unintentionally.
"Although Qing Ke is stupid, he also knows that those two lines of poems are satirical words about the people who have subjugated their country. Could it be that you are mocking the three Qing Ke sisters for forgetting the humiliation of their country's subjugation?" In a blink of an eye, the beautiful woman next to her spoke sharply, but her eyes were full of words. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her tone was pitiful.
Wu Feng screamed bad luck in his heart. He didn't expect that this girl was so mouthy. She would seize her control and refuse to give in. On the outside, she looked pitiful and pitiful, which made people feel pity for her.
"Well, Wu Feng never meant this. Alas, let's call it a mistake. I hereby solemnly apologize to Princess Qingke. What do you think?" Seeing that he can't escape, if he attracts the attention of others, he will not think that he has bullied the woman. Boy, doesn’t that give more excuses to those who want to redress the injustice? Wu Feng quickly apologized profusely.
"Hmph, you have bullied someone, can you just apologize and be done with it?" The girl's face was still cold, and she obviously refused to let it go.
"Then what should we do according to the princess' wishes?" Wu Feng had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender.
"Well, then please ask Mr. Li to accompany Qing Ke for a walk in the garden, okay?" A naughty smile appeared on the beauty's face.
Wu Feng took a deep breath and nodded to show respect for his order.
The garden is so large that even the paths between the plants are big enough for three people to walk in parallel. The two of them strolling through it seem to have a warmer atmosphere. The moonlight fell lightly, everything seemed so quiet, and the noise and noise in the hall seemed to be left far away.
The two of them didn't speak, just walked quietly along the path.
"Master Li, do you think Sister Qingke is a little shameless? The country is ruined and the family is ruined, but you still have the heart to attend your banquet!" Suddenly, the girl who was walking silently asked such a pointed question, making Wu Feng difficult to answer for a while. .
"You don't have to hide it. I know you have a bad impression of us. Although we, as a daughter's family, also want to do something for our country, under the current situation, what do you think we can do?!" The words became a little sad and angry, The girl also became excited, "The empire is usually domineering, but now it is helpless when its neighboring vassals are destroyed and annexed, and even loses repeatedly. What hope do we have?! What should we do? Yes Should I wait silently like this or give up completely? Or should I beg the robbers to be kind and return my home to me?"
Wu Feng was speechless. He could not answer the question raised by the girl in front of him. Just like the question raised by Wei Zhongxing just now, this was a complex issue that could not be explained clearly or come up with countermeasures in a few sentences.
Facing the aggressive offensive of the Machikhans, the exhausted empire really did not have much energy to care about other people's affairs. It was the limit of the empire to be able to accommodate the exiled government and provide moral support. As for those on the southern line, In Wufeng's opinion, these few battles were purely superficial. Trying to win a battle without sufficient preparation was simply wishful thinking. No one was capable of this, not even himself. Of course, Wu Feng didn't say these words. He couldn't bear to hit the girl who was already grieving and angry.
After venting her inner depression, the girl seemed to have regained some composure. Seeing that Wu Feng was still standing there silently, the girl gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Qing Ke is a little rude, adults are laughing at you. ”
He shook his head silently, and an understandable expression appeared on Wu Feng's face. He didn't expect that the girl who looked stable and quiet had so many worries in her heart. It seemed that he had misunderstood. After a long time, he said: "It's human nature. Feng can understand the pain of losing his home. At first, Wu Feng resisted the strong with weakness, that is, he couldn't bear to see innocent people abandoning their wives and children, becoming homeless, and being massacred by the enemy in vain, so he rose up to resist."
Sighing softly, the girl said quietly: "It would be great if Yue Jing could have a pillar of wisdom and courage like you."
"Princess, you are serious. Wu Feng just got lucky and won two battles. How can the princess value her so much? The sky is cold and the night is cold. Princess, let's go in." Wu Feng said.
"Well, okay, Mr. Li, don't call me Princess Qingke. It's ominous to mention a person who has subjugated his country, so you can just call me Qingke. How about I call you Brother Li?" The girl's face showed A touching blush flashed across Wu Feng's eyes. Even in the dark night, Wu Feng saw it so clearly that he couldn't help but be so ecstatic that he forgot to answer for a moment.
