Chapter Sixty: The Chaotic Scene of the Princess's Marriage Proposal
Upon seeing the princess's notice announcing her marriage proposal, Liu Yu and his companions headed towards the palace with great interest.
When they arrived at the palace gates, the scene was truly a sea of people, so crowded that it was impossible to move. Liu Yu was stepped on several times, wincing in pain.
"Ugh, what kind of people are these? Don't they even keep an eye on things?" Liu Yu complained.
Xu Xian, who was also jostled about, asked, "Brother Liu, can we squeeze in?"
Xiaoqing said, "What are you afraid of? Follow me!" With that, she used her magic to create a path through the crowd.
They finally entered the palace, where they saw the princess sitting on a high platform, her face veiled and her features obscured.
Liu Yu wondered to herself, "What does this princess actually look like?"
At this moment, a eunuch came out and said in a shrill voice, "Gentlemen, the first part of the princess's marriage selection is to match couplets."
Liu Yu was dumbfounded: "Matching couplets? I don't know how!"
A scholar-looking man next to him glanced at him disdainfully: "You can't even write a couplet, what are you doing here?"
Liu Yu retorted, "Hmph, does that mean I can't come if I can't play a couplet? Maybe I'll get lucky."
The first round of couplets began, with the eunuch presenting the first line: "The spring breeze turns a thousand willow branches green."
The scholar immediately replied, "Timely rain hastens the blooming of ten thousand trees."
Liu Yu stood anxiously by, saying, "What is all this? I don't understand."
Xu Xian thought for a moment and said, "The bright moon awakens ten thousand stars."
The eunuch shook his head: "Not neat enough, rejected!"
Xu Xian looked dejected.
When it was Liu Yu's turn, he hesitated for a long time before finally blurting out, "The autumn wind blows down a leaf."
The crowd burst into laughter, and even the eunuch couldn't help but laugh: "You call this a couplet? You're out!"
Liu Yu stood aside dejectedly.
Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, with your level of ability, you still want to marry a princess?"
Liu Yu scratched his head: "I'm just giving it a try."
After several rounds of competition, only a few people remained.
The second segment is a talent competition.
A man played a beautiful piece of music, which won rounds of applause.
Another young master painted a landscape painting, which also drew admiration.
When it was Liu Yu's turn, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll perform a somersault for everyone."
After saying that, he started doing somersaults on the ground, but accidentally bumped into a pillar and saw stars.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!" Liu Yu clutched her head.
Everyone burst into laughter, and even the princess couldn't help but laugh.
After the talent competition ended, only three people remained.
The eunuch said, "In the final round, the princess will ask a question, and whoever answers it best will win."
The princess began by asking, "My question is, what would you do if I had a fight with my mother-in-law?"
The first young master said, "I will advise you, Princess, not to be angry and to always give in to your mother-in-law."
The princess shook her head.
The second young master said, "I will try to please both sides and make you both happy."
The princess was still not satisfied.
When it was Liu Yu's turn, he thought for a moment and said, "I will take you away, Princess, far away, so that you will not suffer any injustice."
The princess was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then laughed.
The eunuch announced, "Congratulations to this young master for winning the princess's heart."
Liu Yu herself couldn't believe it: "Is it really me?"
Just then, the system spoke up: "Host, there's something wrong with this princess. You need to be careful."
Liu Yu was startled, but before he could react, he was pulled into the room.
Inside the room, the princess removed her veil, and Liu Yu was startled when she saw her. The princess was large and burly, with a face covered in pockmarks.
"Young master, from today onwards, you are my consort," the princess said with a smile.
Liu Yu stammered, "Princess, this, this..."
The princess glared at her: "What? You don't want to?"
Liu Yu quickly replied, "Yes, yes."
Just then, the princess suddenly burped, and an unpleasant odor wafted over.
Liu Yu almost threw up.
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen heard the commotion outside and rushed in.
Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, run!"
Liu Yu ran after them, and the princess shouted from behind, "Don't run, come back here!"
They were running around in the palace and accidentally wandered into the Imperial Garden.
In the Imperial Garden, the Emperor was admiring the flowers when he saw their disheveled appearance and flew into a rage: "How dare you run around in the Imperial Palace!"
Liu Yu immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, spare my life!"
After the emperor learned what had happened, he was both amused and exasperated: "Alright, alright, you may leave now."
Liu Yu and the others quickly escaped from the palace.
Once outside the palace, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh dear, that scared me to death! I'll never participate in any more marriage contests."
Everyone laughed.
They continued walking and came to a small town.
A cockfighting competition was being held in the town, and Liu Yu went over to observe.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Liu Yu signed up for the competition.
His chicken looked thin and weak, while his opponent's chicken looked majestic.
The game started, and Liu Yu's chicken was chased all over the field by the opponent's chicken.
"Hey, why don't you fight back!" Liu Yu stamped her feet in frustration.
Just when everyone thought Liu Yu was going to lose, his chicken suddenly launched a counterattack, defeating the opponent's chicken in a rout.
Liu Yu jumped up excitedly: "Haha, I won!"
Holding his winnings, he said smugly, "Let's go get a good meal."
They went to a restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes.
While eating, Liu Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"Oh no, I need to go to the toilet!" Liu Yu clutched her stomach and rushed to the toilet.
As it turned out there was someone in the restroom, Liu Yu couldn't wait, so she found a corner outside to relieve herself.
I had just finished dealing with it when the restaurant owner discovered me.
"You brat, how dare you urinate and defecate here!" The boss grabbed Liu Yu and wouldn't let go.
Liu Yu apologized and tried to run away, but the boss grabbed her clothes.
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen laughed until tears streamed down their faces when they saw this scene.
In the end, Liu Yu lost money before he was able to get away with it.
"Ugh, what a terrible day!" Liu Yu said helplessly.
They left the town and continued their journey, wondering what interesting things they would encounter next...
