The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned ashen. She said in fear,"I heard that they were all buried.”
"Of course they will be buried with him. They attempted to poison the Eldest Princess. It is already not bad that they did not kill nine generations.”
"They didn't…It was Princess Yun Miao who poisoned her, not them!”
Xue Lin smiled and asked Xiaosi," Xiaosi, this person came to assassinate me. How do you think the emperor will deal with him?" He still has some at home
How many people? Will he be implicated?"
"Princess, is there a need to say that? He'll definitely be exterminated." Xiaosi said loudly.
"Princess, save me! I'll tell you everything!" The palace maid hugged Xue Lin's feet and begged.
"Alright then, let's start with Young Master Lian. Don't worry, this princess will definitely protect you. And Princess Yun Niao, what was she?
You must know better than any of us what kind of person she is. She is ruthless and will beat and kill you at any time…
The matter of the heavens was an example. She was clearly the one who was in a bad mood, so she used an excuse to vent her anger on you. Palace maids are also humans, why should they?
Why did he have to endure this? If it were me, I would never treat my own palace maids.”
Cold sweat broke out on the palace servant's forehead again when he heard this. He had heard that Princess Anping was extremely kind to her servants.
He steeled his heart and decided to gamble. After such a thing happened, he couldn't stay in Cloud Grace Palace anymore. At most, he would die!
Hence, he told her everything he knew.
As Xue Lin listened, her expression gradually became serious. She was so shocked that she stood up with tears on her face. She ran out in one breath
The High Frost Palace kept running towards the far away Phoenix Palace.
As Xue Lin listened, her expression gradually became serious. She was so shocked that she stood up with tears on her face. She ran out of the Frost Palace in one breath and ran all the way to the far away Phoenix Palace.
At this time, Hiroshi was already sound asleep. When Xue Lin barged in, he didn't even have time to put on his coat. She ran straight to his bed and knelt down.
"Your Highness, please save him!"
Hiroshi asked in confusion,"What happened? Who do you want to save?"
"My younger brother, Sun Lian." Xue Lin looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"You already know?" Hao Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I am. " Your Highness, you already knew. Why didn't you tell me for so many days? Is there something wrong with Xue Lin's cooperation?"”
Hiroshi's expression darkened. He was silent for a long time, as if he didn't want to say anything, but also as if he was holding back something. In the end, a thousand words only turned into a long string of questions. He said unhappily,"For a male prostitute, you actually knelt down and begged me without caring about your status as a princess? Don't forget that you're Princess Anping now! Pay attention to your identity!"
"He's my younger brother, the only family I have here! How could I watch him suffer and not save him? How can you…"
"If you obediently marry the young master of the Prime Minister's family, he will come out. This is also Yun Miao's intention." After a long time, Hiroshi finally said," Stop playing tricks. What's going to happen will happen. You can't escape! Especially after what happened last night, which caused a huge commotion and everyone knew that I hope there won't be a second time.”
" But…but you promised me before…you said you would break off the engagement. Why did you suddenly…" Why did you suddenly change? She couldn't finish her sentence. What was the point? No matter what she said, begged, or thought, things would not develop according to her wishes.
Xue Lin gritted her teeth and walked back desolately. Yes, she was a chess piece. What should she do or not do?
The annual scholarly poetry meet began. The children of the noble families and scholar-bureaucrats gathered in the Lotus Garden in twos and threes. The luxurious carriages were neatly parked in the spacious courtyard. The talented scholars and beautiful women were all dressed up. For a moment, a few wisps of fragrance floated in the air, and their dresses curled up.
When the fresh and elegant Haoyuan arrived with the quiet and pixie like Xue Lin, everyone's eyes fell on them. Hiroshi smiled warmly as usual, while Xue Lin elegantly swept her gaze across the crowd and finally stopped on Ziqing as if " accidentally ". Zi Qing was surrounded by many beautiful women. At first glance, she looked like a red dot in a green bush. But when Xue Lin's gaze drifted over, the beauties tacitly made way for her so that she could see him clearly. In just two seconds, she hurriedly retracted her gaze and caught a glimpse of a young man in the corner staring at her with burning eyes. She smiled slightly as a greeting.
"Your Highness Hao Yuan, Your Highness Xue Xi, this way please.”Fang Jinlun, the owner of the Lotus Garden and the organizer of the previous poetry meets, greeted them respectfully and indifferently. He was respectful because they were royalty, and indifferent because of the style of scholars.
The garden suddenly fell silent. Many people had heard that Princess Anping was extremely beautiful, but they had never seen her with their own eyes. Today, they were really shocked by her. Therefore, everyone silently praised her and their eyes involuntarily drifted towards Xue Lin. Only Ziqing was calm. Xue Lin couldn't help but look at him again.
To be honest, in terms of temperament, appearance, demeanor, and talent, this Ziqing was really unmatched. He was a dragon among men. However, looking at his " calamity " face, she wanted to go up and punch him. Hmph, she's already attracting bees and butterflies so early. Will she be at ease when she marries him in the future?

Fortunately, the poetry recital soon began. Since it was summer and the event was held in the Lotus Garden, the topic this year was to write about lotus flowers. After Jin Lun gave his orders, a servant brought the guests a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Everyone was thinking hard, but Xue Lin was bored. She had thought about it long ago. Anyway, she was not comparable to these people. They were aristocrats, and she was just a commoner. She obviously did not have as much ink as them, so she could only be shameless for once... using the ready-made Tang poetry taught by her teacher. She looked around and swept her gaze across the crowd. She saw that Zi Qing was calmly sizing her up. His gaze seemed to be provocative and meaningful. "Do you have anything to say to me?" she asked.”
Ziqing said,"Princess, why don't you go and prepare?" I really want to see if the princess 'poems will be as fresh and refined as you.”
It was definitely a provocation. Did he think that she came from the common people and did not receive any higher education? Yes, she did not receive any aristocratic education, but she was a new generation Earthling, at least a thousand years more advanced than their civilization! She smiled beautifully and said gently,"I won't disappoint you. I heard that you're number one every year. Do you want to compete this year? Whoever wins must agree to one of his requests. How about it?”
"A promise is a promise."
"A promise is a promise."
The two of them smiled elegantly and returned to their seats to write.
Alright, Princess Anping, you said it yourself. Don't blame me. Zi Qing finally felt much better, and a smile appeared on his face. This smile was like peach blossoms blooming in March.
When the hour was up, the young masters and ladies put down their pens and waited for the attendants to take away their works. Then, it was time for Master Jin Lun to decide the top three.
Xue Lin was drinking her tea when she saw the young man who was " disrespectful " to her in the corner. The man was a little rough. In this era where beauty was the aesthetic standard, he was obviously not considered a handsome man. However, by modern standards, he was considered a strong man. He had a burly and fit figure and firm lines. He was very manly. Xue Lin blushed when she saw him.
At this moment, Jin Lun spoke. He was about to announce the top three this year.
" Third place is His Highness Hiroshi, second place, uh…is the Prime Minister's son, Ziqing…" The moment these words were said, it was as if a stone had stirred up a thousand waves. Everyone revealed an incredulous expression. Everyone was wondering how Ziqing could be second place. If he was second, then no one in the world could claim to be first. So who was more powerful than Ziqing?
Jin Lun could see everyone's doubts and expectations and smiled."The first place winner of this year's Poetry Meet is…Her Highness Xue Xi, Princess An Ping.”
Dear friends, if you think it's not bad, just add it to your collection. I'm working while updating, and I often feel that it's very difficult. If I have your support, I'll have the motivation to continue updating. Give me motivation, give me strength! A little more, a little more!
Jin Lun could see everyone's doubts and expectations and smiled."The first place winner of this year's Poetry Meet is…Her Highness Xue Xi, Princess An Ping.”
People's eyes widened as they looked at Xue Lin. More people went up to read the works of Zi Qing and Xue Lin.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Xue Lin walked gracefully under the shade of the lotus garden, quietly admiring the blooming lotus flowers. A figure appeared beside her. She tilted her head and sized up the other party. It was the young master who had made her blush just now. The man was wearing a yellow shirt. His skin was not as fair as the other young masters. It was a healthy bronze color. At this moment, he was staring at her with a smile.
"Princess Xuexi, I am Ji Xuan, the eldest son of the Great General's family. I have yet to…uh…marry.”
