The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 290 The Grand Chorus

Li Muxia stood up and said, "I'm a man of my word, so I'll sing a song for everyone. If any of you know the song, feel free to sing along!"

As she spoke, she cleared her throat and began to sing "A Road of Flowers," a song she had previously sung at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

This song became popular in Kyoto after the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. The young lady who attended the banquet had secretly practiced it at home, and every young lady present was extremely familiar with every melody of the song.

Upon hearing the familiar song, the ladies present all felt an urge to hum along, but they all forcefully suppressed it, knowing that Feng Jingxin was deliberately humiliating Li Muxia.

Li Anran was the first to sing along, followed by Su Lanzhi, and then Shangguan Wenya. It was thought that only Li Muxia's group would give Li Muxia face, but unexpectedly, Miss Wu, who had just been rescued by Li Muxia, also started singing. With Miss Wu joining in, it was only natural for the other ladies to join in as well.

Miss Zhang, Miss Wang, Miss Liu...

More and more young ladies joined in the chorus, and even the third princess sang along.

And so, almost everyone in the hall, except for Feng Jingxin and a few other ladies who had never heard the song before, sang along. It was as if Li Muxia had put on a solo concert, and all the young ladies from aristocratic families were her loyal fans.

The beautiful singing grew louder and louder, reaching the Phoenix Chant Pavilion next door, where all the young noblemen present pricked up their ears to listen with curiosity.

Seeing this, the eldest prince laughed and said, "It seems that things are much more lively at Third Sister's and Fourth Sister's place than here."

After saying that, he couldn't resist his curiosity and said, "I'll go take a look."

Once he left, the other princes, nobles, and young masters of prominent families couldn't stay any longer and followed him there as well.

When everyone arrived, they saw that almost all the girls were standing, each singing a song loudly.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what had happened, but it didn't stop them from listening to the music.

As the song ended, enthusiastic applause erupted at the door.

The young ladies looked over at the sound and saw that the doorway had been crowded with men.

Some of the young ladies blushed instantly. The Third Princess and the Fourth Princess stood up and said, "Royal Brother, what brings you here?"

The eldest prince clapped as he walked into the hall, followed only by a few princes. No one else dared to enter, as there was a distinction between men and women, and the hall was filled with women.

Everyone quickly bowed.

The eldest prince raised his hand, indicating that everyone should dispense with formalities: "Third sister, fourth sister, I didn't expect it to be so lively here. What are you doing? Why are you suddenly singing?"

The third princess, being lively by nature, excitedly recounted the games they had just played, namely musical chairs and truth or dare.

Finally, the reason for the group sing-along was explained, and everyone looked at Li Muxia in the corner upon hearing this.

Li Muxia gave an awkward laugh.

The eldest prince's eyes glazed over for a moment when he saw Li Muxia: she seemed to have become even more beautiful.

Both Dongfang Jincheng and Dongfang Jinlin noticed the danger in the Crown Prince's eyes. Dongfang Jinlin spoke up, drawing the Crown Prince's attention.

"This game is definitely suitable for women to play; I don't know who came up with it."

Upon hearing Dongfang Jinlin's words, the princes turned their gazes to the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess, completely refusing to attribute the idea of ​​this game to them.

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess pointed at Li Muxia and said, "It was Li Muxia who came up with this idea."

The group then turned their attention to Li Muxia.

Dongfang Jinlin: I should have known better than to ask.

Dongfang Jinyu, however, became interested and said, "I never expected that Miss Li is not only stunningly beautiful, but also so intelligent."

Li Muxia quickly stood up, curtsied, and said humbly, "Your Highness Prince Duan, thank you for your kind words. This game was not my idea. I saw it in a travelogue before, and I found it interesting. That's why I dared to offer this idea to the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess today."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinyu said, "Is it the travelogue you mentioned at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?"

Li Muxia nodded somewhat guiltily: "Exactly."

Dongfang Jinlin rubbed his chin with his fingers, somewhat suspicious, but Li Muxia had said last time that the travelogue had been destroyed, leaving him nowhere to look it up.

He said, "That travelogue also records other games. It would be much more interesting to have games to play at this banquet."

Li Muxia understood what Dongfang Jinlin meant. If she said she didn't have it, it would be difficult to justify bringing it up again if needed in the future.

He pretended to think for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, there is a game that men, women, young and old can all play."

Dongfang Jinlin became interested and asked, "Oh, what is it?"

Li Muxia explained the rules and gameplay of "Who is the Spy".

The princes became interested immediately upon hearing this, and in order to ensure that their understanding was correct.

They decided to play a game here, with Li Muxia as the referee.

Li Muxia glanced at Dongfang Jincheng, somewhat embarrassed, but still nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinxuan ran outside and asked, "We need three more people. Is anyone willing to play?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many young men raised their hands, and Dongfang Jincheng selected three from the front.

Long Haonan, Nangong Huaiyuan, Nangong Yufeng.

Seeing the three people enter, Li Muxia swallowed the suggestion that was about to come out. She wanted to say, "The Third Princess and the Fourth Princess can participate as well."

Once everyone was ready, Li Muxia had also written a note: civilians are butterflies, and undercover agents are bees.

The note was distributed to several people; the undercover agent was Nangong Huaiyuan.

Li Muxia reminded everyone, "You can look at the slip of paper in front of you, but be careful not to let the people next to you see your cards."

Under Li Muxia's direction, the group simultaneously picked up the slips of paper on the table, glanced at them, and then put them away.

Seeing that everyone was watching carefully, Li Muxia continued, "Now, starting with Prince Rui, try to describe things related to words using language, but do not directly say the words themselves."

Dongfang Jincheng said calmly, "It can fly."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Dongfang Jinxuan spoke second: "We see this more often in summer."

Everyone nodded again.

Dongfang Jinlin, the third: "It has two pairs of wings."

Nangong Huaiyuan's fourth one: "Insects".

Nangong Yufeng, the fifth: "Likes flowers."

Long Haonan, sixth: "Has tentacles."

After the first round of descriptions ended, everyone present except the participants were guessing who the undercover agent was. The descriptions given in the first round were all very vague, making it difficult to guess.

Li Muxia said, "The first round is over. Please vote now."

Everyone hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the person they suspected.
