Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

"Her name is Chu Lan, and we didn't know each other a year ago!"

Liu Zhao opened his mouth and started talking nonsense.

The idea of ​​parents' orders and matchmaker's words in this era was not as obvious as in later generations, but free love was obviously not recognized.

If you want to brag, make it something shocking.

How about making up a free love story?

"Oh? Don't you know him?" Shangguan Mi was very interested.

"Speaking of our acquaintance, it's really hard to put it into words!" Liu Zhao thought in his mind, made up a story, and raised his glass. "Brother Shangguan, have another drink!"

Shangguan Mi laughed. It seemed that Liu Zhao was really drunk.

He immediately had a drink with Liu Zhao without hesitation.

The maid hurriedly poured the wine.

"Xiao Lan was originally betrothed to someone else, alas!"

Shangguan Mi became even more interested. How could he snatch her away if she was already betrothed to someone else?

"Last year, my father and I were visiting relatives and I happened to meet her. She was my relative's neighbor. The moment I saw her, I felt that I had to marry her in this life!"

"Love at first sight!" Shangguan Mi nodded. "Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of love at first sight, but you've already been betrothed to someone. How did you do it?"

"After I saw her, I asked around for information about her. Of course, I was very sad to hear that she was engaged to someone else!"

"That's natural. To be unable to realize one's joy is one of life's greatest sorrows!"

"Exactly! Because of this, I lost my appetite and even lay in bed for over half a month!"

"Brother Liu is also a man of sentimental nature. He is so infatuated!" Shangguan Mi said, taking the initiative to raise the glass, "Cheers to infatuation!"

"Fuck!" Liu Zhao said without hesitation.

After drinking it, he continued, "I've been thinking about it for half a month, and it's really made my mother very anxious!"

"But isn't there anything we can do about it?" Shangguan Mi was very tempted.

"Yes! My mother knew that I liked Xiaolan, but there was nothing she could do, so she secretly asked someone to go to Xiaolan's betrothed family to inquire about the situation and see if there was any chance!"

“It’s hard for the old man!”

"Alas! Pity the compassion of all parents. Unfortunately, according to what I've learned, the other party is powerful and influential. A family like mine can't afford to offend!"

Liu Zhao is really talking nonsense. It seems that reading more novels since childhood has played a big role in his life.

"Brother Liu's family seems to be well off!"

"Alas! In Luojing, there are countless people with a family background like mine, and you wouldn't believe the other person's family background if I told you!"

"If you don't believe it, how good can it be?" Shangguan Mi said with some sarcasm.

"My mother told me that the other family owns hundreds of acres of fertile land, three or five houses, and over a thousand taels of gold!"

Even though he was bragging, Liu Zhao couldn't exaggerate too much. After all, if he boasted too much about his wealth, it would be easy to be exposed.

What's more, according to the principle of being well matched, the other party is a wealthy family, so Chu Lan's family will not be bad either!

It's hard to cover up your own lies.

"This is not considered very rich in Luojing! Just a small fortune!" Shangguan Mi smiled.

From Liu Zhao's words, we can hear that his family was at best well-off, not yet wealthy.

“That seems pretty rich to me!”

"What happened next?" Shangguan Mi was not interested in other people's wealth.

"Later, I realized that there was no way to solve the problem through legitimate channels, so I came up with an idea!"

"Idea? An improper idea?" Shangguan Mi's eyes widened.

"It's not unfair, but I have no other choice!" Liu Zhao said while making up stories in his mind.

"What method?" Shangguan Mi was getting anxious.

"That means we must take the initiative and not just sit there and wait for death!"

I picked up words from Ultraman and used them.

"I thought you were going to rob it?" Shangguan Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course not!" Liu Zhao chuckled, "I went to visit my relatives the next day!"

"Visiting relatives, you mean to go see Xiaolan!"

"Of course, my mother knew what I meant and wanted me to give up, but she didn't stop me!"

"After visiting my relatives, of course I saw her again. You know, if you live in the same neighborhood, you'll always see her!"

"That's natural!"

Indeed, in a neighborhood, there are naturally many opportunities for men, women, young and old to meet each other.

It’s not certain once you leave the town.

Therefore, there are not many loopholes in the story made up by Liu Zhao.

"I've been here for quite a while, and after a few visits, Xiaolan and I are pretty familiar with each other!"

"She knew I had a crush on her, so one day, I took the opportunity and wrote a poem for Xiaolan!"

"A poem?" Shangguan Mi frowned. "Tell me about it!"

Liu Zhao had read quite a few ancient poems, including many love poems.

But this is obviously not the time to show off poetry, so the people who come to mind are not Li Shangyin or Liu Yong.

After all, it wasn't written by myself, so it's really not easy to make one up myself.

It would be better to sing a pop song.

So I thought of Jacky Cheung.

That familiar song, "I waited until the flowers wilted!"

"I'll sing it for you!" Liu Zhao smiled and sang the Mandarin version.

As soon as Liu Zhao opened his mouth, Shangguan Mi's brows instantly frowned.

Is this a poem?

Isn’t this plain language?

When the maid standing behind heard Liu Zhao singing, she couldn't help but laugh. It was so funny!

Liu Zhao didn't care and continued singing as usual.

He sang for more than three minutes before stopping.

Shangguan Mi didn't know what his mood was?

This melody is indeed unique, but it is not a poem, or even a song!

What a mess!

"Brother Liu, forgive my bluntness, but to me, this poem sounds more like childish slang, not poetry at all!"

Shangguan Mi was very drunk and spoke frankly.

"Hehe!" Liu Zhao said with a slightly awkward smile, "Sorry for the joke, Brother Shangguan. This isn't a poem. It's just a song I made up!"

"Hmm!" Shangguan Mi nodded. "Even among folk sayings, it's rare to find such shocking lyrics. Brother Liu is really good at writing!"

"There's nothing I can do about it, right? With my skill level, I can't write a song as classic as 'High Mountains and Flowing Water'!"

"High Mountains and Flowing Water? Is it nice? Why haven't I heard of it?" Shangguan Mi asked with interest.

"Ah!" Liu Zhao reacted instantly. This was not the same time and space at all. Of course, there could be no mountains or flowing water. So he could only fool around.

"I saw this in an ancient book. It said that in ancient times, two famous music masters wrote a poem called 'High Mountains and Flowing Water', but it was later lost!"

"I'm truly ignorant!" Shangguan Mi nodded. "Things from ancient times can't be taken seriously!"

Liu Zhao smiled, thinking that he had fooled the person. Since it was ancient and had been lost, he had made up for the lie.

"Brother Shangguan, although the song I wrote is vulgar, Xiaolan understands my feelings!" Liu Zhao took back the words.

"Brother Liu, could it be that Xiaolan fell in love with you just because you sang this one song?"

"The one who understands me best is Brother Shangguan!" Liu Zhao raised his glass. "I'll toast you again!"

Shangguan Mi smiled slightly: "Brother Liu, this is a really good idea!"

Shangguan Mi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After a clash with Liu Zhao, he fought to the end.
