"Since you, your highness, are so kind, my daughter will naturally comply."
Imperial Protector Princess's words forced Mo Xiyan to stand up.
"However, I'm in a hurry. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Hearing that, the Princess lightly nodded her head, "But, Miss Mo doesn't need to be nervous, just think carefully by the side."
After saying that, she looked at the crowd and chuckled. "I'll listen to some songs and dances and quietly wait."
"Alright." Everyone responded in unison, and they seemed to be in high spirits.
Mo Xiyan then bowed to the princess and indifferently retreated to the side.
She frowned and pretended to be deep in thought, but her thoughts were not on the poem.
She was considering whether she should choose the best one and smack the face of everyone present.
He was the one who acted mediocre, so everyone mocked him a little.
Without much thought, she decided to do it herself. The original owner had never been famous before anyways, so no matter how bad she was, it wouldn't be too strange.
On the other hand, if one was too outstanding, it was possible for them to be regarded as a beast race.
"Why hasn't Miss Mo done it yet? Don't tell me the title of talent is fake? "
"I've never heard of her famous talents. I think it's very likely that someone bribed the person in front of the princess to speak good words to her and wanted to show her face. In the end, it was all for naught."
"I think so too, it has always been said that the Miss Mo Er is talented, if she is talented, how come she never exposed herself at all?"
While Mo Xiyan was thinking, the people below started whispering to each other.
Whether it was the male or female guests, neither of them thought well of her. They all felt that the princess had overestimated her, and all of them held the thought of watching a good show as they looked at her.
Mo Xiyan didn't make them wait too long either.
After about half a cup of tea, at the end of a song and dance, she walked to the stage in the middle of the yard and unhurriedly recited a poem she had made.
"The origin and end of fate cannot be understood. The mysteriousness of destiny cannot be seen through. Being disturbed in the mortal world caused her 3000 strands of black hair to be troubled. "I wish for the world to be blessed with love and happiness."
Her poems weren't exactly neat, no, strictly speaking, they were bad.
However, her voice was extremely sweet, and her intonation made people feel very comfortable. Coupled with her expression when she was reciting, it added quite a few points to this not-so-good poem.
"Did Miss Mo go easy on you?" Imperial Protector Princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Mo Xiyan. Although she had a premonition that she wouldn't make good poems, she had never thought that it would be this bad.
Was it really as she said, that she had never read a book? But would the Madame Prime Minister really favor them so much? She was in disbelief.
"I really did not go easy on him. It is also true that I had never been able to teach him since I was young."
Mo Xiyan immediately shook her head, she looked at the princess in embarrassment, "Speaking of which, my sister Jing Yuan is indeed a talented girl, she has been praised by the gentlemen since she was young, and said that she is intelligent, if she was not born a girl, she could become a scholar in this generation."
Her words were good words for herself, and she even carried Mo Jingyuan out, successfully shifting the crowd's attention onto her.
Mo Jingyuan had originally been laughing at Mo Xiyan, but she hadn't heard what she was saying at all.
Just as she was feeling proud about herself, she realised that everyone had already shifted their gaze towards her. She panicked and immediately retracted her mind, allowing her to hear what Mo Xiyan had said.
That damnable bitch. It's fine that he was unlucky, but he actually dragged her into the water? Her face changed instantly and she was extremely anxious.
"Indeed, the poems written by the Miss Mo Er in the past have astonished me."
Imperial Protector Princess listened and nodded, but she did not want to change the topic.
Thus, the conversation changed to the battle between the two of them.
"Speaking of Miss Mo Er, I heard that you and her had an agreement to participate in the battle tea ceremony. Is that true?"
Her gaze fell entirely on Mo Xiyan, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to speak.
"Yes, we did meet."
This was the truth, and there was nothing to hide. So Mo Xiyan told the truth.
"Since it is a fight, then what is your wager? Can you tell us? " Imperial Protector Princess dug a hole for her step by step, forcing her to jump down.
If Mo Xiyan said that they were going to fight, it would just be for the crown prince. Then, her and Mo Jingyuan's noble name would be ruined, and their marriage might even have an impact.
Mo Jingyuan was naturally aware of the powerful relationships between them. Compared to Mo Xiyan, she paid more attention to her own reputation.
After all, she was someone who had decided to marry into the imperial family. If she were to lose her reputation here, her future would be ruined.
Thus, she rushed in front of Mo Xiyan and stood up to answer her question, "Reporting to the princess, this wager is just a toy between little girls, it's not worth mentioning on the stage."
Unfortunately, the princess didn't intend to let them off, she continued to laugh and said, "Today, the people present are all young people, so we don't have to bother with trifling matters. Your little girl's stuff just came out for everyone to listen to, and it just so happens to adjust the current atmosphere."
At this point, her tone suddenly became heavy. "In fact, you look down on us and feel that we are not worthy for you to tell us, huh?"
With this hat, even if they did not want to say anything, they could only say it.
That pig Mo Jingyuan, how dare she say that she was smart? If you can't speak, you don't have to. Look at the situation now? Not only had she offended the princess, but she had also made everyone pay more attention to their so-called 'tea duel'.
He was simply a pig's teammate. Mo Xiyan was so angry that he rolled his eyes, wishing that he could just strangle that bastard to death in his heart.
However, to vent his anger, he still had to save his son. Furthermore, it was better than what Mo Jingyuan had said before, or else it would be a lie.
"Reporting to the princess, the prize is a piece of jade."
Mo Xiyan said as she once again let out a shy chuckle. In order to increase the effect, two red clouds appeared on her face.
"Jade pendant?" Imperial Protector Princess continued to ask in surprise, "What kind of jade is it?"
"That is a peacock pendant made from white jade. The quality of the jade is not very good, but I do like it very much." Mo Xiyan said as sshe walked in front of Mo Jingyuan, he stared at her with shining eyes, "Little sister, take out the jade pendant and show it to the princess, after all, there is nothing to be embarrassed about here."
This Peacock Jade Pendant did indeed exist, and was not made up by Mo Xiyan.
However, this jade pendant was originally the original owner's, but was forcibly snatched away by Mo Jingyuan when she was just a few years old.
If it was an ordinary jade pendant, the original owner might not have minded anymore, but this jade pendant was extremely precious. This was a treasure left behind by the Madame Prime Minister and it was also the only thing that the original owner had.
This meant a lot to the original owner.
However, the original owner had repeatedly asked Mo Jingyuan for it, and had been rejected.
At this time, Mo Xiyan brought up the matter of the jade pendant so that she could win it back.
After all, she might not be able to win against Mo Jingyuan in poetry, but battle tea? Not her.
