Chapter 482: House Fight Turns into Thriller 21
"Ruyan, although your poem is well-written, there is something wrong in the words. Sisters should live in harmony. Why do they have to fight against each other over trivial matters?" Princess Jing'an's voice was gentle and firm, with unquestionable majesty.
Liu Ruyan's face turned pale instantly when she heard this. She didn't expect that Princess Jing'an would stand up and speak for her at this time. She didn't expect that Princess Jing'an would point out the inappropriateness of her poem so directly.
She opened her mouth to refute, but found that she was speechless. She could only lower her head and silently endure the gazes and accusations of everyone.
Seeing this, the wives of the officials also cast reproachful glances. They all knew that Liu Ruyan was deliberately provoking Liu Hui, and Princess Jing'an's words were the best warning to her. They began to realize that Liu Ruyan's behavior had exceeded their tolerance, and they began to feel dissatisfied and disgusted with her.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan was like a lone goose abandoned by everyone. She stood alone on the stage, feeling the indifference and accusatory eyes from those around her. Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, but she could not vent it. She could only silently endure it all and endure the pain of failure.
At this time, Liu Hui was still sitting in the crowd with a smile. She looked at the disappointed Liu Ruyan on the stage, and a faint sympathy welled up in her heart. She knew that the reason why Liu Ruyan targeted her was because she was jealous of her talent and status. However, she also understood that jealousy could not make a person better, but only make her more painful and twisted.
She decided to give Liu Ruyan a chance to let her understand this truth. So, she stood up and walked to the front of the stage. She looked at Liu Ruyan and said with a smile: "Sister, although your poem is sharp, it reveals a bit of jealousy and unwillingness. In fact, talent and status are not the most important. What is important is our mentality and attitude. If we can put aside jealousy and attacks and feel the beauty and harmony of life with our hearts, then we will become happier and happier."
Liu Hui's words were like a spring breeze, warm and gentle. Her words were full of tolerance and understanding, which moved Liu Ruyan. She looked at Liu Hui, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. She wanted to speak, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.
Princess Jing'an and other wives of officials also cast admiring glances at her. They all knew that Liu Hui was a woman of outstanding talent and wisdom. Not only did she have outstanding talent and status, but she also had a tolerant and kind heart. They began to realize that Liu Hui was the woman who truly deserved their respect and appreciation.
Liu Ruyan looked at the admiring and respectful eyes around her, and she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration. She knew that she had completely failed at this flower viewing banquet. Not only did she not get the attention and praise she wanted, but she became a laughing stock and a negative example in the eyes of everyone.
She lowered her head and endured it all silently. Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, but she could not vent it. She could only silently endure the pain and humiliation of failure.
At this moment, Liu Hui was like a winner. She stood on the stage with a smile, feeling the admiration and respect from the people around her. Her heart was filled with joy and satisfaction, because she knew that she had proved her worth with her talent and wisdom.
She turned to look at Princess Jing'an and the wives of the officials, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, ladies, today's flower viewing banquet has really benefited me a lot. Not only did I appreciate the beautiful flowers and exquisite scenery, but I also learned the importance of tolerance and kindness. I believe that as long as we can put aside jealousy and aggression and feel the beauty and harmony of life with our hearts, we will become happier and happier."
Liu Hui's words were like warm sunshine that fell on everyone's hearts. They nodded in agreement and support. They began to realize that the beauty and harmony in life were not achieved through attack and jealousy, but through tolerance and kindness.
At this time, Liu Ruyan was like a forgotten corner. She stood alone, watching the radiant Liu Hui on the stage and the admiring eyes from all around. She was filled with anger and resentment, but she could not vent it. She could only silently endure the pain and humiliation of failure.
She stared at Liu Hui with hatred, her eyes flashing with jealousy. She wanted to attack her again, but found that she had no strength or courage. She could only endure it all silently, enduring the pain and humiliation of failure.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Ruyan, why are you so obsessed with winning or losing? Life is like a flower viewing banquet. There are flowers that bloom and flowers that fall, and there are victories and failures. The important thing is that we should learn to appreciate and cherish every moment, instead of caring about gains and losses and wins and losses."
Liu Ruyan was shocked when she heard this. She turned around and saw that the person who spoke was an elderly lady. She was dressed simply but elegantly, with wisdom and kindness in her eyes.
The old lady walked up to Liu Ruyan, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Ruyan, you have to understand one thing: life is not a competition, but a journey. In this journey, we will encounter all kinds of scenery and people. Sometimes we will be praised and succeed, and sometimes we will encounter failure and humiliation. However, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that we must learn to appreciate and cherish every moment, and feel the beauty and harmony of life with our hearts."
The old lady's words were like a sweet rain that moistened Liu Ruyan's dry heart. She looked at the old lady's kind face and wise eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She began to realize how stupid and ridiculous her previous behavior was. She understood the deep meaning and philosophy of the old lady's words, and decided to let go of the jealousy and aggression in her heart and feel the beauty and harmony of life with her heart.
She turned her head and looked at Liu Hui, who was radiant on the stage, and the admiring eyes from all around. Her heart was no longer filled with anger and resentment, but with tolerance and understanding. She smiled and said, "Sister, I admire your talent and wisdom. My previous behavior was really stupid, please forgive me."
Hearing this, Liu Hui smiled at her and said, "It's great that you think this way, sister. We are sisters, why should we fight over trivial matters? I believe that as long as we can put aside jealousy and aggression and feel the beauty and harmony of life with our hearts, we will become happier and happier."
