Luo Qingyan had been wearing a cold face all the time. He didn't say a word from beginning to end as if he was watching an irrelevant farce.
Hearing the empress' words, he raised his head and glanced at the empress, he sneered and said, "are you blaming your majesty for having three thousand women in the imperial household so you can not be the only woman of his majesty?"
Hearing that, the empress' face changed slightly, but in an instant, she put on a smile again. "Why did you say that, Prince rui? I am only admiring your love for your wife, but I also know that it is a crime for women who are jealous and can't tolerate other women of her husband. Of course I didn't mean that."
Prince Jing sneered coldly and retorted, "actually, my wife is not jealous of anyone at all. It's just that I'm so jealous that I don't allow anyone to get any attention from her. I don't want my wife to distract her attention on other things that she can't stay with me all the time.
When the banquet was quiet for a while, Luo Qingyan's cold voice sounded again, "I'm always having a bad temper. If someone always likes to harass my wife in my mansion, then don't blame me for being rude to you.
The empress was embarrassed by Prince Jing twice. She kept silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness has just arrived at the state of Xia. Don't be so cold to us. Be careful not to frighten the delicate ladies here." Then she added, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask us to have a small competition together? Will you reward the person who wins a lot?"
Xia Huanyu nodded his head with a smile. "The state of Xia has always worship a man who worships the literature, so let's play the flower poem today. Today's competition is not for punishments, and there are only rewards and no punishments. I will say a sentence about the flower first, and anyone who can say another sentence about the same kind of flower can stand up and say it out aloud. In the end, if there is no one can say any more
sentences, then the last person wins. Do you have any objections?"
Yun Shang heard about the flower poem of the state of Xia before. The flower poem game was not held in the state of Ning. In the State of Ning, the person will beat the drum and issue a flower. In the State of Xia, the person who initiate this game must recite a poem about flowers, and the name of the flower mentioned must be in the next person's sentence.
Since no one answered him, Xia Huanyu said with a smile, "If no one opposes that, then I will give the first sentence to you. Peach blossom are beautiful on human faces."
As soon as he stopped, the Princess Tai An said with a smile, "The peach flowers are so red under the sun."
Then several other people, who Yun Shang could not name, said other sentences, but it took more and more time. Yun Shang looked at them indifferently, and did not speak. A young man had stood up. "We can hear the rain on the flower leaves."
After a long while, no one said no more words. With a smile, Xia Huanyu said, "No one else? nothing else? Then Vice Minister Su wins? "
Princess Tai An also smiled, "my sister-in-law really came from a literary family, each of your siblings is super talented."
