Chapter 130 Women's Talent Showdown
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Fang couldn't believe that Miss Qin, who was both talented in literature and martial arts and had unparalleled talents, would be a brothel girl.
He glanced secretly at Miss Luo Yu again. Could it be that she had been like that before?
Bai Lingyi gently touched his mother's hand from the side and shook his head.
He didn't care whether his sister and Miss Qin were prostitutes or not. They were the most powerful people in the world and no one was allowed to look down on them.
Fang naturally wouldn't look down on Luo Yu and Miss Qin because of this. She was just afraid that they would be embarrassed if their identities were revealed.
Prince Ning's expression was unpredictable, with an evil look in his eyes, as if he was just looking for fun.
Old Man Wen was the most restless. His three views suddenly changed like a piece of glass falling from a high platform and shattering all over the ground.
Then, he wanted to squat down and pick them up one by one.
After a while, he kicked the fragments away. Could his shattered values be as useful as a random suggestion from Miss Qin?
Qin Bingrui himself said this, so he could naturally bear it.
Old Man Wen said with a grin, "As the saying goes, a hero's origins are not judged. Miss Qin has talents, so why can't she display them? We are all women, and the level of our talents shouldn't be determined by our backgrounds."
"Mr. Wenshan, thank you for speaking up for me. Next time I'll give you something interesting to study."
Seeing that she didn't mind at all, Director Wenshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Prince Rui naturally had to give Prince Ning some face. Wouldn't it be indirectly hurting Prince Ning's face if he hurt his people?
Then he echoed, "What Director Wenshan said makes sense. Since it's a talent show, no matter who performs better than others, it's a good talent."
Lord Shi didn't dare to say a word. His wife was really so arrogant that she dared to provoke the retainers of His Royal Highness Prince Ning in order to help her daughter stand out.
But it doesn't matter. I can recite poems and compose couplets, play the piano and sing. My skills are definitely not comparable to the lewd music of the girls in the brothels.
"Alright, then the three girls will each perform what they are best at!"
Prince Ning responded lazily.
He knew that Qin Bingrui was quite capable, and he wanted to know what talents unique to women this noble lady Ying had, rather than whether she was best at writing various suspenseful murder mysteries.
Qin Bingrui glared at him with disdain.
Who does he think he is? He thought Qin Bingrui wanted to perform for him?
"Forget it, then I won't get involved in the competition between the two young ladies. After all, our statuses are not worthy of each other!"
He mainly wanted to help his sister Luo Hong. Since King Ning insisted that his sister perform, he would not join in the fun.
Old Man Wen didn't think so. He was about to comfort Miss Qin, but he saw several maids brought by Miss Shi bringing out the pipa and guzheng for her.
It turned out that he had been prepared for this. When Old Man Wen met Miss Qin's eyes, he immediately understood what she meant.
Forget it, ruining someone’s marriage is not a wise move. It’s better to appreciate it.
Of course Luo Yu will show off his talents, after all, he wants to highlight Miss Shi's perfect personality.
But she can't be too bad, lest they think she is deliberately giving in to Miss Shi!
Then, Miss Shi sang an excellent song that was fascinating, melodious and lingering.
After listening to it, Luo Yu couldn't help but applaud.
Qin Bingrui knew what his sister was thinking and clapped perfunctorily.
The others had to follow suit and took photos, not knowing what it meant.
Prince Ning clapped his hands twice to get the point across, which was neither good nor bad.
Although Miss Shi is cute, gentle, well-educated, and has decent talents, she is no different from other young ladies who have been raised in seclusion.
Zhu Jinyou certainly knew what Mrs. Shi meant, but it was not up to him to decide whether to marry a princess, and the old lady in his family was not someone who could be easily persuaded.
"Miss Shi is a good pianist and she also composes good music."
Seeing that everyone was waiting for his comments, Zhu Jinyou spoke after a while.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ning, for your kind words!"
Miss Shi stood up, bowed, and left.
Everyone turned their eyes to Luo Yu.
"Miss Shi's performance was so good that it truly shocked and impressed me. I'm just afraid that my poor performance wouldn't be up to par and would pollute everyone's eyes."
Prince Ning stared at Luo Yu with a cold gaze, wondering what tricks this woman was trying to play. Was she trying to fool him and not perform anymore?
"That's all right, Miss Bai, feel free to do as you please!"
Can't let her quit.
Luo Yu didn't meet his gaze, but just smiled at Miss Shi, as if her smile was sincere at this time, and her eyes curved into crescents.
After Miss Shi left, Luo Yu thought about it and realized that he didn't know much. He knew the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Would playing the harmonica count? But where were the harmonicas in this dynasty?
I know a few chess skills, but wouldn’t it be boring to perform chess, gobang, and checkers?
She has written a lot of books, and various suspense and murder stories have been selling very well recently.
Forget about paintings. People will get tired of seeing too many of them. Even if they draw airplanes and cannons, they won’t think much of it, right?
She stood in the middle of the hall, watching everyone thinking hard.
Qin Bingrui lowered his head and chuckled softly. It was good to let Sister Luo Er embarrass herself a little. Don't think that it was easy for her to make a living in the brothel at that time. Learning to please others was a hard job.
After a while, Luo Yu finally squeezed out a few words as an opening remark.
"I don't know a lot, so I'll show you a set of Tai Chi boxing techniques. Practice it regularly to keep fit."
Qin Bingrui almost laughed out loud. Well, this can also be considered a performance. Sister Luo Yu had studied with several masters for several years at that time, so she was definitely up to the task.
Tai Chi may not be popular in this dynasty yet, so it may still be a unique martial art!
"The term Tai Chi originates from the Book of Changes. Tai Chi gives rise to the two opposites, the two opposites give rise to the four images, the four images give rise to the eight trigrams..."
"Liang Yi refers to heaven and earth or yin and yang. In boxing, movement is yang and stillness is yin. Together, movement and stillness are called Liang Yi."
Luo Yu first explained it, and then slowly demonstrated his boxing skills.
Wenshan's eyes widened.
This Bai girl is no ordinary person. Just being able to output a passage from the Book of Changes proves that she has read it. She can also combine boxing techniques with the text in the Book of Changes. This must have been figured out by her master, a hermit. He really wanted to find that master as soon as possible.
Her boxing style combines both static and dynamic techniques, femininity and softness, yet is full of power. Her hand and foot skills should not be too bad.
Zhu Jinyou frowned again. This woman was truly unfathomable.
Mrs. Shi almost fell asleep while watching.
I don't know why, but these men were watching with great fascination. This woman's talent show didn't look like martial arts or dancing, and it wasn't even half as good as her daughter Shi Die'er's.
Although Princess Rui didn't quite understand, she thought that if her huge body really took a few moves, she would probably be pushed several feet away by Miss Bai.
Qin Bingrui was secretly happy. Sister Luo Hong's Tai Chi was not about the natural power of connecting movement and stillness, but about her ability to attack the enemy unexpectedly when she was fast, and to kill zombies as quickly as cutting through a mess.
It took Luo Yu half a minute to finish, and he bowed to everyone to express his gratitude.
When she saw everyone's constipated expressions, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She winked at Miss Shi, who covered her mouth and smiled secretly.
After a while, Mrs. Shi asked Miss Shi to perform a dance, and several maids behind her provided accompaniment.
Qin Bingrui asked Luo Yu with a mischievous look on his face: "Miss Bai, how about I accompany you and you dance too?"
Luo Yu glanced at her and said, "I don't know how to dance. How about I sing and you accompany me?"
"Oh? What song are you going to sing?"
Prince Ning was full of interest. It seemed that she was not without some female talents!
"I only know the song 'Farewell My Concubine'!"
