Just as she was engrossed in her drinking, she could faintly hear waves of exclamations and whispers. He raised his head and saw a young lady in white with four maids leisurely walking to the center of the stage. He looked up and saw the girl in white clothes. It should be a top quality raccoon dress. The outer layer of the gown was embroidered with a faint pattern of hibiscus. The young girl's expression was graceful, her eyes were bright, and her teeth were white. She was extremely elegant.
"She must be the daughter of a rich family. Our Zhongshu Officer Palace cannot afford to have four maids given to us." Nangong Waner concluded.
Ju Xiang was speechless, "Miss, this is the number one beauty in Tian Sheng, the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. Qin Ruxue, her white clothes are as white as snow.
"Ju Xiang, it's such a pity to be a servant. When did you recite such awkward lines? "You're so cultured, what kind of person should I betroth to you?"
Ju Xiang was completely speechless and decided to not bother with his Young Miss anymore.
Qin Ruxue was the daughter of the Prime Minister, she was extremely noble since birth, and because the current Empress Dowager was Qin Ruxue's aunt, she was treated as a treasure ever since she was young. Qin Ruxue naturally had a high standards. Ever since he was young, he had felt that only this kind of the most outstanding man in the world could be worthy of him. The empress dowager had always known that she liked Chu Xiuhan, so she had promised him in front of everyone that she would ask the emperor to make her a birthday present at his eighteenth birthday banquet.
However, Qin Ruxue had always regarded herself as a proud daughter of heaven, and was extremely arrogant, so she naturally hoped that the person she liked would take the initiative to look for her, and admire her. In recent years, her reputation had been growing, but she hadn't seen that man pursue her at all. I heard that for the past 800 years, there were only people who did not attend banquets. If she wanted to come to Assistant Minister’s Residence today, she would not care about her status and chased after them. She didn't believe that she was able to display her talent on the spot. That person could not see the endless light emitting from her body!
She came late on purpose, dressed up, and dressed up. She saw the admiration and adoration of the crowd, and she heard the surprise, as expected. However … Unexpectedly, there were three people in the arena who did not look at him. The daughter of the Zhongshu Officer Palace and her servant girl were whispering with each other, and... Prince Zhan! consoled himself, "He must have seen wrongly."
"Ru Xue is late. I'm very sorry, but she is willing to offer up such a small talent to cheer everyone up." Qin Ruxue spat out the pearl curtain in a generous manner.
Nangong Waner could not help but stare foolishly, he felt that she was really pretty, and that her words were pleasant to listen to, praising her from the bottom of her heart, "Ju Xiang, she's really pretty, and her words are good to listen to."
Ju Xiang laughed, "Yes, Miss." In his heart, he thought that if his young miss came with this morning's makeup, who would be the better person to look at her?
Nangong Waner's voice was a little loud unconsciously, and many people present heard it.
"It's rare to gather all the talented young misses from the different clans in Shangjing today, Miss Qin has wasted this grand occasion. I am willing to give a small reward to all the young misses here to spar with each other. Prince Zhan spoke a few words, and Zi Ye, who was behind him, brought out a brocade case. When he opened it, it was a palace fan.
"This is the picture of a beauty drawn by the Tian Sheng's Immortal Painting Han Xiuzi!" Amongst the crowd, there were people who recognized the treasure, and all of them took in a breath of cold air, sighing at Prince Zhan's extravagance.
Nangong Waner had woken up really early, the moment he saw Qin Ruxue enter the stage, he started to get drowsy amidst the quiet atmosphere. Just as he woke up, he realized that everyone was discussing about how to write a poem about "Xia", and it was written extremely well.
Nangong Waner's heart was wailing in pain, this ancient man could do anything, why did he have to act out an embroidery for you to see when he came out to eat! You have a good plan. I had a wall-ladder, so I stood up to pee.
"Of course, if you do not wish to participate, This King will not force you." Prince Zhan's cold voice floated over.
Liu Ru pushed Nangong Waner down and advised in a small voice: "Do you not want to live anymore, you dare to not give Prince Zhan face."
Nangong Waner did not know what to say. I can compose poems, but I can't write! Nangong Waner wanted to cry but had no tears. On the other hand, Ju Xiang also received a brush and paper, carefully covered Nangong Waner's bed, and silently consoled his young miss, "Miss, don't feel any pressure, just write it down, no one will pay attention to it. Everyone's focus is on Qin Ruxue."
As expected, Qin Ruxue finished writing and handed it to Prince Zhan. Prince Zhan looked at it and laughed, causing Qin Ruxue to be in a daze. " Miss Qin is truly worthy of being called a natural talented girl. Prince Zhan was not stingy with his praise, his tone was light, but it made Qin Ruxue so happy that his face turned red.
One after another, people on the stage submitted their poems that they had finished writing. Prince Zhan did not make any comments and only received them indifferently. His eyes did not linger for more than a moment.
Nangong Waner remembered that two lines were difficult to write, he would glance at Ju Xiang from time to time, "A reclining stone dragon can't breathe, the breeze can't move the sky, how can you tell me how to write all these words, how can I write it?"
After half an hour, almost everyone had handed in their written poems, and the place was silent. Everyone was waiting for Prince Zhan to announce the results, and only Nangong Waner did not, but everyone seemed to have long forgotten about her. While no one was watching, Nangong Waner sneakily pulled out a piece of paper that was written until it was crooked, made it into a roll, and pinched it in his hands. He destroyed the corpse, planning to muddle through it, and then raised his head along with the rest of the people, as if he was waiting for the results of Prince Zhan.
Looking at it, Nangong Waner wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but she looked at Chu Xiuhan from afar with a mischievous smile. As expected, "Zhongshu Officer s of the Zhongshu Officer Palace don't seem to have submitted their works yet." Was it the Prince Zhan's voice, or was it something he was looking at her with!
As soon as Prince Zhan finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Nangong Waner.
Nangong Waner scolded Chu Xiuhan a hundred thousand times in the depths of his heart, but he was unable to bring the paper ball back to the table. Amidst everyone's laughter and discussions, it was directly sent to Chu Xiuhan's side. The moment it was handed over, it turned around and was about to leave.
But Prince Zhan did not plan on letting her go, before she could take two steps forward, Prince Zhan was laughing loudly behind her, "Hahahaha, Miss Nangong is really cute, this king only recognizes the two words here." With that, he raised up the paper that Nangong Waner had written, and everyone saw that it was filled with the word "wrong", and they all laughed along with Prince Zhan.
I lost consciousness when I was four years old, and have only recovered to this point in two months. My father and mother, who understood that my body was weak, and had not restricted me in my lessons, made you suffer. "
Nangong Waner's resounding reply surprised everyone present. Everyone felt that this young miss from the Zhongshu Officer Palace was neither humble nor haughty, unlike the rumors of idiocy, and also slowly reduced her disdain. Only the Zhongshu Officer couple's eyes were filled with pity.
The Prince Zhan actually also showed an expression that said that he could not bear to see this, "So that's the case, this king has offended you." "Today, no matter what I say or do, I have to make up for the offense I have committed. I wonder if this Zhongshu Officer has asked for a teacher for my family's Miss Nangong?"
Zhongshu Officer's eased expression turned embarrassed again. "Still … "Not yet."
In a few days, I will be coming to Prince Zhan's Mansion to stay for a while. This king will help you introduce him to the people here, so come to Prince Zhan's Mansion to learn from Elder Xiu. " Prince Zhan said in a serious tone, as if he was really trying to make up for his previous mistake.
Everyone exclaimed, Nangong Waner had such luck, he actually wanted to learn from a literary major in the imperial court. Only Nangong Waner was present felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The Zhongshu Officer shook his head and looked at him. Zhongshu Officer quickly refused, quickly refused.
