Chapter 22 - Standing on the Top of the Wind
The old mistress paused after reading it.
It was a good poem, but it didn't seem like it was made by a girl. It was not a good thing to speak too softly.
Moreover, the Fourth Miss of the Qin family had the title of legitimate daughter, so she could not be the favorite of the General Qin. This kind of woman could not be the Lin Family's daughter-in-law.
In actuality, the old lady was overthinking things. Qin Luofei didn't want to be the Lin Family's daughter-in-law from the start.
She was truly mistaken about that Young Master Lin Lingyue.
When Lin Lingyue saw the serious expression on her grandmother's face, she could not help but take the poem that Qin Luofei had written. Her eyes slightly trembled as she exclaimed, "What a beautiful lady!"
"Seventh Prince, look …" Old Granny Lin couldn't really make her own decision.
Seventh Prince pursed his lips and laughed, "I feel like this poem by Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan can be ranked first."
He did it on purpose, he did it on purpose. She didn't believe that there was nothing better than her among these noble young ladies.
First she had seduced him, now she was pushed to the top of the wave.
Feeling the gazes of jealousy from all directions, Qin Luofei only wished she could hack Seventh Prince into eight pieces. Only Luo Ziyan, who was beside her, squeezed her hand and whispered, "It's really not easy for little sister to get the praise of the old lady and the Seventh Prince."
Everyone in the capital knew that besides the fact that the Seventh Prince did not like to laugh, it was even rarer to praise others.
To put it bluntly, they were simply unlikeable.
"Seventh Prince is too modest. Luo Fei has never read any books, so how can she compare to the sisters who are sitting in their seats?" Qin Luofei glared fiercely at Seventh Prince a few times. The corner of Seventh Prince's mouth slightly raised, feeling a rare good mood.
"Fourth Miss, you don't have to be too modest. This King thinks that your poem is the best." Seventh Prince said that it was naturally the best.
Lin Huijiao glared fiercely at Qin Luofei.
The others were puzzled, didn't Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan seduce Seventh Prince? Why do I feel that Seventh Prince is also interested in Fourth Miss?
Seventh Prince made up his mind in one sentence.
The young masters who had attracted the attention of these youths also looked over at Qin Luofei. She had become the person with the most attention in the entire arena in a short while.
Everyone was curious about what kind of poem the Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan had written that even the Old Madam and the Seventh Prince were cheering for it. Even the Young Master of the Lin Family had a strange expression when he saw it.
maid took out a poem Qin Luofei had written for everyone to see. Everyone was secretly shocked, as they did not expect Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan to be so quick on the uptake to suppress everyone.
Especially that phrase of drifting with the wind, it was truly wonderful.
Everyone could not help but be convinced by this poem. A few of the noble ladies had a different opinion of Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan.
The next step was a talent show, the first one was naturally the Lin Family's legitimate daughter's young miss, Lin Huijiao.
She had made a fool of herself in front of Seventh Prince just now, so she had to make a comeback.
Qin Luofei didn't want to go up and perform, so she found an excuse to slip away.
Every courtyard in the Lin Clan's residence had a different structure and style. In the neighboring courtyard, there were actually several blossoming apricot flowers planted, blooming brilliantly.
Daihua had been blocked outside the door and had not accompanied him in.
Qin Luofei walked alone along the corridor towards the fake mountain. Just as she was looking at the white peony growing in the rock, she suddenly rolled down from the mountain and threw a few stones at Qin Luofei.
Just as it was about to hit him, it was pulled by someone.
Qin Luofei was still in a state of panic. All the way, she had been guarding that good sister of hers. She didn't think that she would actually be waiting here. It seemed that the person she wanted to kill had always been following her.
When his maids were blocked outside, she felt strange. The other misses could also bring one of their maids inside.
It had to be that good sister and Lin Huijiao who colluded.
If something were to happen to him in the Lin Residence, it would have nothing to do with her. If it was an unfavoured legitimate daughter, at most, it would be the Lin Family apologizing to the Qin Family.
"Miss Qin." Qin Luofei raised her head and saw the smiling face of the Lin Clan's young master, Lin Lingyue.
Qin Luofei did not have a good impression of him, but she could not lose her manners.
"Thank you, Sir Lin."
Qin Luofei wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lin Lingyue.
Lin Lingyue saw that Qin Luofei was treating her indifferently, so she didn't know how she offended her.
"Miss Qin, are you alright?! "Why don't I take you back to the backyard?"
If she were to be with such a rascal, her reputation would be ruined.
"Many thanks Sir Lin, I will return by myself."
Seeing that Qin Luofei was adamant, Lin could only allow her to pass.
At the side of the corridor, they saw Seventh Prince standing there with a dark expression. His face was as cold as ice, as if all the people in the world owed him money.
Qin Luofei hid herself from the Seventh Prince and entered the back garden. She saw that Lin Huijiao had just finished performing her dance, and was now playing her zither, her older sister Qin Luoyu.
Qin Luoyu had studied it with everyone before, and the zither had a bit of the aura of a famous expert.
Qin Luoyu originally wanted to show off in front of the Seventh Prince, but when he found out that it was his turn to go out, he couldn't help but feel resentment.
Just as Qin Luofei sat down, someone impatiently jumped out.
"Fourth Miss, we all like the poems you wrote just now. I wonder how Miss Qin's singing and dancing are? Why don't you perform one for everyone?" Qin Luofei did not know who that woman was, but seeing that Qin Luoyu was sitting beside her, she knew that it must be her good sister who had instigated her from behind the scenes.
Qin Luofei's eyes darkened slightly, but she was not willing to reveal her foundation. Just as she was in the middle of a difficult situation, Luo Ziyan stood up and said with a smile: "Why don't I work together with Little Sister Qin?"
Luo Ziyan gently extended her hand and gripped Qin Luofei's finger, smiling in a gentle manner. Qin Luofei knew that she was trying to show goodwill towards him, and as such, she was able to relieve herself of her sleepiness. She hurriedly nodded her head.
Qin Luofei knew that at this moment, she had to go on stage no matter what. Otherwise, those people wouldn't be able to let her go.
She played the lute, and the other servants played the flute music as well. Luo Ziyan waved her sleeves and started singing.
Even if she did not play well, no one would be able to hear it. She was slightly grateful in her heart, Luo Ziyan was really meticulous.
The Seventh Prince did not expect such an ending. This dead woman was smart.
Lin Lingyue looked at Qin Luofei who was playing the lute. Her eyes moved slightly as she bent down and whispered a few words into the old lady's ear.
The old lady was slightly taken aback and frowned.
Beside him, Seventh Prince heard the old lady saying: Fourth Young Miss of the Qin Clan, Lin Family's daughter-in-law.
Seventh Prince looked at Qin Luofei with a gloomy gaze. What was so good about this woman that she could actually make the Lin Family's son, Lin Lingyue, who had high standards, fall in love with that woman.
After she finished playing, Qin Luofei returned to her seat.
Luo Ziyan's dancing style was not one bit inferior to Lin Huijiao, and her appearance was probably even above her.
Qin Luofei knew that Luo Ziyan would definitely offend her sister and the Lin Family's Lin Huijiao in order to help her.
"Elder sister, why must you help me?" Qin Luofei raised his cup and looked straight at Luo Ziyan.
Luo Ziyan smiled lightly: "Little sister is a smart person, what other reason do I have to choose a smart person as my friend?"
Qin Luofei understood in an instant that with the arrival of the talent show, both she and she would have a chance of becoming imperial concubines. They might have to take care of each other before they could settle down in that cannibal place.
"No, sister." Qin Luo Fei smiled.
Although Old Granny Lin doted on her grandson, she didn't think highly of the Qin family's fourth lady. Putting aside the fact that she wasn't favored by the Qin family, the poem she wrote was too gloomy and gloomy. A woman like this really wasn't suitable for a lady's room.
Lin Lingyue was not in a hurry, after all, the good show was yet to come. "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
Old Granny Lin returned to her room first, and Seventh Prince left as well. The others felt that there was no point in leaving as they all took their leave.
Qin Luoyu felt uncomfortable when he looked at Qin Luofei. Today, this little sister had been in the limelight for a long time, and had even received special treatment from the Seventh Prince.
Qin Luofei wasn't afraid of offending this big sister, but she was too useful to him, so he couldn't fall out too early.
However, the Du Family's daughter, Du Qingcheng, who was as famous as Qin Luoyu today, did not attend the gathering, much to her disappointment.
She had wanted to have a good meeting with the Du Family's daughter. There was a saying that only those who knew themselves and their enemies could survive a hundred battles.
In any case, they would eventually meet in the palace.
From the moment Qin Luoyu got on the carriage, he closed his eyes to recuperate, even disdaining to put on his usual disguise.
Qin Luofei also did something she did not know of, minding her own business the whole way, but she did not completely tire Qin Luoyu out. There were several times when she almost could not hold it in.
The two of them alighted from the carriage at Qin Manor. Before they even entered through the entrance, they saw a handsome young servant waiting at the entrance. When he saw Qin Luo Fei, he immediately came over and smiled.
Qin Luofei looked at the servant very familiar, as if she was someone at Lin Lingyue's side.
The young servant opened the box in his hands and saw that it was made of top-grade gold and silver jewelry. The workmanship was exquisite, and they were all of the highest quality.
Qin Luofei frowned, she didn't know what the young master of the Lin Family was planning.
"Please return to your young master, he said I can't accept gifts." Qin Luofei strode inside.
Qin Luoyu looked at the chest full of golden light and couldn't help but be jealous. From the looks of it, the young master of the Lin Clan had set his sights on his silly little sister.
The young master of the Lin family was also a top talent, he was the husband of the Yancheng's woman's heart, he actually doted on this fool.
The boy seemed to know that Qin Luo would refuse, so he didn't get angry. He closed the box and went back to his own residence to report.
"Mother, look at that fool, he's getting more and more spirited. Hurry up and think of a way, I don't want a fool riding on my head." Qin Luoyu cuddled up in Mrs. Meng's embrace, and continued to act coquettishly.
Mrs. Meng caressed his daughter's hair and comforted her: "I want to get rid of this fool too, but he is extremely careful now, and it is not that easy. Mother only wishes for you to have a good home to return to. That silly girl is not someone who will cause trouble, and the most important thing is Third Brother, he is climbing more and more onto Mother's head. "
"I want that fool to die." Qin Luoyu no longer had his usual dignified look, his face had turned sinister.
In her heart, she disliked this foolish little sister more and more. Moreover, she couldn't stand the way Seventh Prince looked at her. It was clearly different from how he looked at her.
Qin Luofei returned to the courtyard and asked Laiyan for a few more detailed instructions before she washed up and went to bed.
