Chapter 623 Explosive Popularity!
Jing Yi was determined not to admit that Shen Ruojing's writing was better.
After all, the brushwork wouldn't be seen in a photo, and the events happening here wouldn't be leaked out. In the end, it could be said that both of them wrote well, but he was determined not to give Shen Ruojing any momentum.
But what he never expected was for Princess Daisy's words to stun everyone on the scene.
Even Karl looked at Princess Daisy in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Princess Daisy, with her passionate gaze fixed on the writing in Shen Ruojing's hand, ignored Karl. She stared with her beautiful green eyes and said eagerly to Shen Ruojing, "Your Highness, can you give me this calligraphy work?"
Shen Ruojing, who couldn't stand this kind of gaze, handed the writing directly to Daisy. "Alright."
Daisy was as excited as a child who had just received her cherished toy, almost jumping with joy. If it weren't for the occasion, she might have screamed in delight!
She stared at the writing in her hand, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
Karl shouted, "Princess Daisy, what are you talking about? What Madman?"
Although Karl didn't understand the writing, he knew that Princess Daisy's idol was Madman from China, so he asked this.
To his surprise, as soon as he said this, Princess Daisy immediately said, "She is Madman! Her Highness, the Crown Princess, is Madman! She is my idol!"
Daisy excitedly looked at Shen Ruojing. "Everyone thought that Madman had passed away, causing no new writing to appear in the past five years. I never thought it would be you!"
Shen Ruojing smiled gently at her and praised, "Princess Daisy is also very talented. Just by looking at the pictures of my writing, you were able to imitate it to about 70 or 80 percent..."
In fact, it was nowhere near 70 or 80 percent; she had merely imitated the shape.
But Shen Ruojing didn't want to get ahead by suppressing Daisy, so she spoke with some praise.
Daisy was slightly excited. "Can you become my teacher? I want to learn how to write from you!"
Shen Ruojing raised her eyebrows, glanced at Karl, and saw his face turning dark.
Shen Ruojing thought for a moment, and her reputation as a Madman was indeed not an insult to Princess Daisy. So she nodded. "Alright."
Princess Daisy immediately bowed to Shen Ruojing to show her respect as a student...
Many people in Country A were paying attention to this palace banquet. Before Karl proposed for Princess Daisy to write something, the people arranged by Karl, as well as those from the large families in Country A who didn't want the Crown Princess to ascend the throne, had started creating hype on the internet in Country A.
Hence, #PrincessDaisyWriting, #CrownPrincessEmbarrassment, #CrownPrincessAInferiorToPrincessY, and other topics had been trending.
The people of Country A were all watching the follow-up of this palace banquet.
But now, the situation had completely reversed.
Karl's people were still waiting to spread more negative news about Shen Ruojing, and even the people from the major families were waiting for Shen Ruojing's writing to be ridiculed. After that, they could post her embarrassing moments on the internet. But now, why did everything suddenly stop?
The netizens of Country A held their phones, waiting online for news, and urging:
— Please tell us, how is our Princess?
— Oh my, what should we do? I'm so nervous!
— Me too, I'm afraid our Princess will lose face for our Country A!
— I have a feeling that she must have embarrassed herself. The royal family must be suppressing the news and not letting it out. Otherwise, how could it take half an hour just to write a few characters without any follow-up news?
— I also feel embarrassed. We all know Princess Daisy's love for Chinese culture. Her writing was once praised by a calligraphy master from China! It's over, the Crown Princess has lost face even abroad...
— Even so, the royal family shouldn't cover it up. The news, even if delayed, will eventually come out. Sneaking around like this is really not good!
— Although we are a small country, our people have good hearts. In diplomacy, we may lose to others, but we must not lose our dignity!
...
As everyone was discussing, the news from the palace had not been sent out yet, so everyone was guessing if something had happened. Hence, the discussion on the internet became even more heated. Some even went as far as to find the social media accounts of a few royals and noble families to directly ask them.
Luo Yan's Weibo account was specially registered by herself.
Although women from Country A never posted their own photos and news, they occasionally shared their lives, such as taking photos of little snacks. Therefore, everyone knew that she was the legitimate daughter of the Luo family.
At this moment, many people went to Luo Yan's social media account and sent her private messages, asking about the follow-up developments.
Luo Yan opened the internet and saw a bunch of people talking negatively about the Princess...
After seeing the Madman's writing, she knew that their Princess was definitely the most amazing Princess in the world, and so she had become Shen Ruojing's number one fan. How could she bear to see all these negative comments?
So, Luo Yan got angry.
While Princess Daisy was paying her respects to her new teacher, Luo Yan secretly took a photo of the scene. Now, she simply posted a photo of Princess Daisy paying her respects to her new teacher on the internet!
As both Princess Daisy and Shen Ruojing would represent their respective countries, it was normal for their photos to appear on the internet.
When Luo Yan posted the photo, she added a caption. "I was fortunate enough to witness the scene of Princess Daisy becoming a disciple of our Crown Princess. Oh, I also want to become a disciple so badly, what should I do?!"
