When Xiao Xiahan was far away from Liang Jing, the corners of her mouth curled up in a direction that Xiao Liang Jing couldn't see. She smiled slightly, and her eyes were also smiling. If Xiao Liangjing or anyone else were to see this, they would definitely be stunned. It turned out that the number one talent in the capital, Xiao Xiahan, was so beautiful when she smiled. She was not inferior to the number one, Yun Ruoxi. However, this smile was like an epiphyllum, disappearing in an instant. It immediately disappeared from Xiao Xiahan's face and replaced with an icy face.
Xiao Xia Han didn't really mean to tease her parents. Firstly, her father was always worried about her marriage, and his desire to have a grandson was very strong. He kept nagging at her, and Xiao Xia Han really couldn't stand it. Even though Xiao Liang Jing was almost fifty years old, her physical fitness was excellent. Perhaps she and her mother could have another child if they worked hard.
Moreover, his mother had always had a regret. His mother had always wanted to have two children, a boy and a girl. At that time, she had already planned it with his father. However, there was an accident when she was giving birth to him. It was a difficult labor and almost killed two people. It took two days and two nights to give birth to him. Father was very concerned about this matter. Every time he thought about it, he would feel a lingering fear. Therefore, his mother's wish to have another child was rejected by his father...
In the distance, Xiao Liang Jing's face was slightly red. What nonsense was this child talking about…
She couldn't let Madam know about this. If her daughter-in-law knew that her daughter agreed to her having another child, she would be overjoyed. This made the two of them happy, but he had to worry…Moreover, the two of them were already an old couple. If they gave birth to another child at this age, they would be treated as a joke by the people. His skin was not so thick. It was better not to think about this now. It was more important…
"Everyone, the four rounds of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting competition have been completed. Next is the annual poetry competition. The content of this year's competition was not much different from the previous years. It was still mainly poetry and songs, but the theme had increased from two to three. "The topic is the moon at night, plum blossoms in winter, and snow. You can choose one or more of these three topics, and you can also choose one or more of the forms. The time is half an incense stick's time. I hope that after half an incense stick's time, another masterpiece will appear that will brighten my eyes."”Xiao Liang Jing had given them plenty of time to think. It was enough for these people with real talent to think. If they were here to make a living, there was nothing they could do…
"Royal Brother and Royal Sister-in-law, your talents are superior. Why don't you also choose a topic to do…It's boring to just wait.”Huangpu Ling 'er suggested.
" Second Sister, you're being too kind to me. Don't tell me I'm not smart…" The Fourth Prince was indeed the youngest of the four, and he was very sensitive to others!
" I didn't say anything like that. Brother, you said it yourself…" Huangpu Ling 'er didn't want to lower herself to Huangpu Chaozong's level.
"Royal Sister, you!" Huangpu Chaozong was speechless." Hmph…"
"Royal brother, how about this suggestion?”Huangpu Ling 'er asked.
"This is also a good idea to kill time…Ruoxi, what do you think?”Huangpu Chengde looked at his wife.
" Sure…" Actually, Yun Ruoxi was not as carefree as she appeared to be. She was gentle and polite to everyone, as if she was easy to get along with.
Actually, that was not the case. Although Yun Ruoxi was publicly acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in the capital, the title of the most talented woman in the capital had been snatched away by Xiao Xiahan. Every time she thought of this, Yun Ruoxi would gnash her teeth in hatred, but she still maintained her usual gentle and beautiful demeanor.
Yun Ruoxi had always wanted to take over the title of the most talented girl in Xiahan. She wanted to combine beauty and talent. She did not want people to think that she was just a pretty vase when they mentioned the three beauties of the capital. Moreover, why was Xiao Xiahan not as good-looking as him, but because of her talent, she was more admired and praised by the people than him? Although those who knew her knew that her knowledge was not bad, this did not satisfy Yun Ruoxi. She wanted more…
Although he had made a name for himself in the guqin competition today, he had borrowed the power of others, which made him very dissatisfied. Now that he had the opportunity to show off, he naturally had to seize this good opportunity.
" Then, let's all choose a topic to begin with…Young Master Zhen, how about you join us…" The crown prince also wanted to take this opportunity to see Feng Qi's literary talent. He hoped that the person he wanted to befriend wasn't an idiot who only knew how to play tricks.
Although the butterfly incident had made Huangpu Chengde look at her in a different light, he wasn't satisfied. He wanted to know more about Feng Qi. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were indeed husband and wife. They were both so greedy and insatiable…
"I'm untalented and inexperienced. Forget it.”Feng Qi wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want to be remembered because she was too outstanding.
" Lord Zhen, you must be looking down on us, so you don't want to get involved…" Huangpu Chaozong started to nitpick again.
"Why do you say that, Fourth Prince?" Feng Qi was a little speechless. How could she get into trouble so easily? She wanted to hide, but she was pulled back by someone.
"How about this, young master Zhen, think about it first. If you think of any good poems or sentences, say them out and we can discuss them together.”Yun Huai also didn't want the Fourth Prince Huangpu Chaozong to ruin the relationship between the Crown Prince and Feng Qi.
" That's it for now..." Feng Qi had no choice but to agree first and take it one step at a time." Your Highness, you have nothing to say now, right?"”
"Humph!" Huangpu Chaozong was a little unhappy when he saw Yun Huaiyi helping Feng Qi out. Why were these people so unpleasant to the eye and always ruining his plans?
"Third brother, are you participating?" Huangpu Ling 'er remembered that she had missed out on one person. However, she felt that it didn't matter whether she asked or not. How could a martial artist understand poetry?
" No…" Huangpu Chenghong's answer was just as Huangpu Ling 'er had expected, and he rejected without hesitation.
Of course, Huangpu Chenghong wasn't like what Huangpu Linger thought. He didn't know poetry, but he was just too lazy to participate in such meaningless things.
"Since Third Imperial Brother isn't participating, then it'll be just the few of us. " Everyone has to show their strength. We can't hide it…" Huangpu Ling 'er's mind began to work hard. She was also quite talented in literature. She hoped that she could come up with a wonderful poem that could surpass Yun Ruoxi. Yun Ruoxi had already been in the limelight enough today. He did not want her to be in the limelight in poetry.
"The Crown Prince, the Second Princess, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, Lord Yun, and Xiao Xiahan greet you all.”Xiao Xiahan had appeared out of nowhere, and everyone except Feng Qi and Huangpu Chenghong was shocked.
"Xiao Xiahan, why are you so elusive? Don't you know that scaring people will scare them to death?”Huangpu Ling Er rolled her eyes and complained.
" Isn't the Second Princess still alive..." Xiao Xiahan said with a cold face and no expression. She didn't feel that her words were disrespectful.
"Xiao Xiahan, if you don't speak with a straight face, will you lose a piece of meat?”Surprisingly, Huangpu Ling 'er was not angry at Xiao Xiahan's disrespectful words. Instead, she had a smile on her face.
"Xia Han heard everyone discussing the topic of this poetry meet from afar. I wonder if Xia Han has the honor to join?”Xiao Xiahan said.
"Of course you're welcome. Xia Han, come along too…Royal Sister-in-law, you shouldn't mind, right?”Huangpu Ling 'er welcomed him warmly, without any resentment from Xiao Xiahan.
The relationship between the three beauties of the capital was a little complicated. Yun Ruoxi was Huangpu Ling 'er's sister-in-law, but the two of them had never liked each other. They usually pretended to be happy on the surface, but they fought fiercely in secret.
Xiaoxiao Han treated everyone equally and was an upright person. Compared to Yun Ruoxi, Huangpu Ling 'er was more willing to be friends with Xiaoxiao Han. Now that Xiao Xiahan, who was known as the number one talented woman in the capital, had joined them, they were afraid that they would not be able to suppress Yun Ruoxi. It would be best if they angered her to death.
" Of course I don't mind…" Yun Ruoxi said she didn't mind, but in her heart, she was already cursing Huangpu Ling 'er and Xiaoxiahan over and over again.
" Xia Han heard that the crown prince consort's song shocked many people. Even the number one zither player in the capital, Master Motian, was full of praise for it…This zither song attracted the sight of butterflies circling around it, but Xia Han missed it. What a pity…" Xiao Xia Han's tone was filled with regret. It was not a polite remark, but a genuine sigh of regret for not being able to see that wonderful scene.
Yun Ruoxi heard Xiao Xiahan's praise and regret and felt happy. She thought that she could finally be acknowledged by Xiao Xiahan, but what Xiao Xiahan said next was not so pleasing.
"Xia Han really wants to know who came up with this idea?”Xiao Xiahan and Yun Ruoxi had known each other for many years. Although they were not very close, how could Xiao Xiahan not know Yun Ruoxi's capabilities?
Yun Ruoxi definitely did not come up with this method to attract the butterflies herself. There must be someone else who helped her. However, among the people present, based on Xiao Xiahan's understanding of them, she did not seem to be able to come up with such a wonderful idea…However, there were three unfamiliar faces among the people present. Could it be one of these three?
"Could it be that the person who thought of using honey water to attract butterflies is this young master?”Xiao Xiahan found the person with just one glance. She walked to Feng Qi and asked," Is that you?"”Anyone with discerning eyes could tell who was the master and who was the servant. Moreover, the young master in front of him had wisdom in his eyes, so he should not be wrong.
"…" How was he supposed to answer that?
Yun Ruoxi's idea was spreading all over the Ming Garden, so how was he supposed to answer her? If she admitted it, it would be indirectly telling Yun Ruoxi's lies. If he didn't admit it, it wouldn't make sense. It was clearly his idea, so why should he lie?
Feng Qi's head was covered in sweat. Why was Xiao Xiahan behaving so strangely? She didn't follow the rules…At first, Feng Qi thought it was quite interesting to see the Second Princess bicker with her. She thought this person was quite interesting. Although Xiao Xiahan's face was cold, Feng Qi had a feeling that this woman wasn't as cold as she looked on the surface…In short, Xiao Xiahan was a bit scheming…
Feng Qi had changed from being a spectator to being in the middle of the show, and her role had suddenly changed. However, Feng Qi also admired Xiaoxiahan's courage. She had actually questioned Yun Ruoxi in front of so many people and directly went against her wishes...
