Chapter 171 The Unwilling Wu Meizhu
Chapter 171 The Unwilling Wu Meizhu
"Princess, Wu Meizhu is acting up again. When she heard that you were back, she insisted on clamoring to see you or the prince." Yingxue came in and reported with an angry look on her face.
Luo Li, who was about to go to Luo Mansion to visit her family, said helplessly: "Let's go and take a look!"
Luo Li had a headache about how to deal with Wu Meizhu.
As they were fellow villagers who had traveled from the same world and had souls from the same era, she couldn't bear to get rid of this dangerous element.
Wu Meizhu, this pleasure-seeking, vain student, is of no use at all. It seems that the original plan to keep her well-fed and well-dressed is not feasible.
It's not her fault that she is greedy and insatiable. How can someone who has been educated in the 21st century be willing to be a prisoner under house arrest in ancient times? If it were me, I would definitely try my best to escape.
Ruhua went to take care of the business in the perfume shop, so Luo Li took Siyu, Yingchun and Banxia and walked into Tingfeng Pavilion.
Wu Meizhu didn't dare to smash things or hit anyone, she just kept crying and making a fuss.
When she saw the silly princess, she immediately fell to her knees with a plop!
She cried pitifully and said, "Princess, although I have enough food and clothing here, I am so young, but I am imprisoned in this small courtyard. Am I going to waste my life like this?"
Luo Li looked at her pitiful appearance and her heart softened.
: "Do you want to go back home and reunite with your family?"
"No! I won't go back to that shabby place called Huanzhou! Princess, you don't know that it is a bitter and cold place at the border, which is a world apart from the prosperous capital.
I don’t want to suffer the hardship of having little food and clothing and working in the fields every day.”
Luo Li walked to the yellow pear wood chair and sat down.
: "Get up! Tell me your requests and plans."
Wu Meizhu stood up and said hesitantly what she was thinking: "Princess, I can write poems, sing songs and dance. Please give me something to do with these talents!"
: "Your talents are quite suitable for being a top performer in a brothel. They are useless anywhere else!" Luo Li touched his eyebrows, feeling a little worried for her.
Wu Meizhu bit her lower lip and said nothing. She was not willing to go to a brothel to eat unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even if she became the top courtesan, her status was still the lowest of prostitutes. It would be difficult for her to marry a man of noble status and cross over into the powerful class.
As long as I can find an opportunity to show my face in front of His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the distinguished guests, I will have a chance to stand out with my amazing talent. "Princess, doesn't the palace need singing girls? With my talent, I will definitely serve the prince and the distinguished guests well."
Yingchun Banxia's pretty face flushed with anger. This shameless bitch was still obsessed with serving the prince. Fortunately, the prince was chaste, otherwise, she would have climbed into the prince's bed sooner or later and competed with the princess for favor.
Luo Li looked at Wu Meizhu with a half-smile, "The Qin Palace does not need a singing girl. This princess is narrow-minded and likes to be jealous.
There were five delicate beauties in this palace, four of whom were sent by the Empress and Imperial Concubine. They had evil intentions towards the prince and wanted to climb into his bed, so they were all kicked out of the palace by this princess.
You are different from those five beauties. You are just a servant who sold yourself as a slave. If you keep thinking about hooking up with my man, I will have to sell you off or beat you to death."
Wu Meizhu shuddered with fear! The fear of losing her life immediately overwhelmed the flame of desire.
"Princess, I have no ill intentions towards His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. I... I just want to use my talents to entertain you, the prince and princess."
Luo Li lowered her eyes and fiddled with her neatly trimmed nails, and said lightly: "Okay! Then sing a song for me first."
Finally having the opportunity to show her talent, Wu Meizhu responded with great joy!
"Princess, Meizhu has made a fool of herself."
Wu Meizhu cleared her throat and opened her red lips: "Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze...
Where, where have I seen you before? Your smile is so familiar...
Ah! I saw you in my dream... in my dream...
How sweet the smile is, it’s you, it’s you, it’s you I dreamed of…”
Listening to the familiar melody and lyrics, Luo Li's heart trembled slightly, her nose felt sore, and tears filled her eyes.
She also liked to hum this song "Sweet Honey" by Teresa Teng during her college years.
After Wu Meizhu finished singing, she smiled confidently and said, "Princess, did I sing this song well?"
Although Wu Meizhu's singing was average, the singing voice from that world was as intimate as the sound of a fairy. Luo Li tried hard not to let her tears flow, nodded, and said with a nasal voice: "It sounds good! Sing another one!"
Wu Meizhu was delighted! The silly princess was mesmerized by my singing. If only the King of Qin could hear me singing and see me dancing, he would surely be mesmerized.
Wu Meizhu sorted out her mood and changed her style. "When the petals leave the flower, the fragrance remains, and the fragrance disappears after the wind and rain, and no one comes to smell it..."
Luo Li closed her eyes and hummed along in her heart.
Siyu scratched her head in confusion and glanced at Yingchun.
[The young lady sang this song in the carriage when she went to Mulan's house to pick orchids! ]
After Wu Meizhu finished singing two songs, Luo Li leaned back in her chair with her eyes still closed.
She was filled with sorrow and sadness. She was thinking about her family, friends, classmates and comrades.
[Did my singing actually make the silly princess fall asleep? I spent all this time singing, but it was like playing the lute to a cow? She is really a fool who doesn't understand music! ]
"Princess!..." Wu Meizhu shouted tentatively, feeling disappointed.
Luo Li forced herself to suppress the sorrow and sadness surging in her heart and slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were red and tears were glistening as she stretched and yawned to cover it up. "Oh! Are you done singing? I fell asleep while listening."
Wu Meizhu cursed with disdain in her heart.
[It really lives up to her reputation! The Silly Princess is a fool who knows nothing but eating, drinking and having fun! The song "Anxiang" I sang at the art college's school celebration attracted thunderous applause and screams, and the Silly Princess actually listened to it as a lullaby. ]
"I'm done singing. Princess, do you want to listen more? Or should I dance for you?"
Luo Li waved her hand to stop her, "No need! I still have to go back to my parents' home, so let's stop here today!
Wu Meizhu, I will give you a generous gift. From now on, you can walk around the big garden in the palace every day."
Finally, she took the first step and could leave the courtyard. Wu Meizhu knelt down excitedly and expressed her gratitude!
Banxia stayed and took shifts with Wanqiu, while Luo Li returned to Ningxinyuan with a few maids.
On the way, Yingchun couldn't wait to remind her: "Princess, you have to be more careful with Wu Meizhu.
The first song she sang was clearly an erotic song from a brothel!
What a sweet dream! It's you I dreamed of! Any man who hears these lewd songs will lose control and his soul will be seduced away by her!"
Luo Li turned her head to look at this loyal girl and smiled slightly: "If the King of Qin is seduced by her, I will take you to escape from the palace and live a happy life in the new mansion I bought in Jiangnan!"
"Princess, why aren't you jealous? You won't find another husband as good as our prince in the world." Yingchun tried to comfort her anxiously.
[Aren't you jealous? If the Prince of Qin Zhao Defang was really seduced by Wu Meizhu, why would I feel so sour and uncomfortable? ]
