Chapter 35 - Grand Princess of the Chaotic Jun's Heart Inviting for Martial Arts

"Fighting arts?" Hong Zhong was a little at a loss.

"Yes, fighting, music, calligraphy, painting, melody, you can choose." Baili Ziyan spoke in an overbearing manner: "Hong Zhong, as the future imperial concubine, you aren't afraid, are you?"

Actually, as a graduate of an engineering university in the twenty-first century, Hong Zhong knew how to use ancient poetry, and it wasn't as if she hadn't considered copying one or two of the good poems of the ancient people to deal with it. But it wasn't a long term plan either, so she lowered his head to think for a while, before turning his head to look at Baili Yi Chen seriously. Can't you do it? "

"Of course not!" Baili Ziyan was the first to speak: "These are all essential skills for girls, not to mention a lady from a noble family, even if it was a girl from a small family, they would still know a thing or two, not to mention a imperial concubine, who needs to be proficient in everything. Hong Zhong, looking at how you are now, it can't be that you really don't know anything, right? " Baili Ziyan said those few words in an extremely serious manner, with the intention of making Hong Zhong worthless in front of everyone.

Hong Zhong did not pay any attention to Baili Ziyan. Instead, she stared at Baili Yi Chen and asked, "If you don't know anything, then aren't you qualified to enter the palace?"

"Yes sir!" Nangong Lingwei opened her mouth first.

Although the Southern Qi did not request for the imperial concubine to read a lot of poetry books, he was extremely talented. But the people of Southern Qi were enlightened, from royal relatives, to ordinary citizens, all the women of appropriate age could enter the academy to study. For a girl who had read a lot of poetry since she was young, composing a melody poem shouldn't be a problem.

After Hong Zhong received the reply, she was overjoyed and could not help but lower her head in excitement. Only with great difficulty did she manage to resist the urge to laugh maniacally at the sky, but because she was so happy that she wanted to laugh, her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Seeing Hong Zhong's crazy look, everyone was confused and expressed their confusion. As for Baili Yi Chen, his eyes turned cold. And because Hong Zhong was happy for a long time, she still had not recovered from her surprise.

Seeing Hong Zhong's change in expression, Nangong Lingwei frowned and asked: "Zhong Er, you … Why are you laughing so happily? " If I'm not wrong, is she laughing in secret? Did she have to know so many poems and songs before entering the palace? Was it that funny?

"Nope." After being asked by Nangong Lingwei, Hong Zhong immediately realized that she had lost control of herself due to his excitement, and quickly calmed down his excitement. When she lifted her head to answer the question, she had already recovered to his original state.

"Oh? What is it? " Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes over.

Baili Yi Chen's eyes were cold, not saying a single word. His intuition told him that Hong Zhong was planning something she did not know about. It was obvious that she did not know what Hong Zhong wanted to play with either. The only person who remained calm and composed was the Regent, Baili Mingyue. He was frowning slightly as he lifted a hand to cover his lips, trying his best to hold back a slight cough.

"Actually... maidservant can't read! " Hong Zhong's face was filled with sincerity, as she put on a regretful look: "According to what Esteemed Empress Dowager said, maidservant does not have the qualifications to enter the palace to accompany me, so I feel that it's a pity!" Haha, she could not break the engagement without permission and leave the capital without permission, but … What if the dog-emperor broke the engagement? According to the empress dowager, she would have been eliminated in the first round! Did this mean that he would not know anything and would be the best for her?

Once those words were spoken, not only Baili Yi Chen, even Baili Mingyue's eyes became slightly startled. According to the information obtained from the investigation by the secret guard, Red House did not even know how to read, but was just a three year old poet who could recite all kinds of lore from memory at the age of four. During his time with General Zhenguo, he had even read many military strategies and books, became a disciple of a great master and had learnt all kinds of martial arts.

Baili Yi Chen frowned, looking at Hong Zhong in disbelief, as if he was trying to determine whether or not her words were true. However, after being stunned for a bit, Baili Yu's expression became unclear, making it hard for others to tell what he was thinking.

"Haha …" Hong Zhong couldn't read! "Haha …" Baili Ziyan's laughter quickly resounded in the Yanqing Hall. This woman couldn't read? She had originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to humiliate her, but now it seemed that she had truly been thinking too much.

When the noble ladies of the Shengjing City heard Hong Zhong's words, they thought that they had misheard and couldn't react, but after they heard Grand Princess's hearty laugh, they confirmed that they hadn't misheard. The admiration and jealousy they had for Hong Zhong in their hearts, had all turned into scorn, ridicule, and disdain …

So it turned out that she was blind, and had thought that she was a lucky person. Now, it seemed that she really was just an embroidered pillow, and it seemed like she had no use for it! If that was the case, even if she was ordered to enter the palace as an imperial concubine, what would she use to fight for the favor of others?

Hong Zhong lowered her head and revealed a sly smile. Laugh, laugh, how happy are you laughing now, in the future, how much you want to cry!

"maidservant knows that her talent is dull, and is not fit to enter the palace to accompany him. Please make the decision, Esteemed Empress Dowager, to gather the royal family and take back the late Emperor's imperial edict!" Hong Zhong's words were sincere.

He only frowned slightly, and in an instant, his icy cold brows relaxed. The corners of his mouth hooked up, and his sharp eyes seemed to look at his prey, his long jade fingers slowly turned the jade thumb ring, as though he was in a good mood. This Si Nvren, did she think that she could escape from our palms just like that?

It's not that easy!

Baili Ziyan was still taunting her without a care, but everyone was looking at her with a strange gaze, until they felt that everyone was looking at her strangely, and then they stopped. Nangong Lingwei's expression was especially solemn, "Yan'er, as a Grand Princess, how could you make such a ruckus in the great hall!?" Putting aside the fact that the identity of the Grand Princess was not suitable for such a situation, just the contributions the Red House had made to the could not make Hong Zhong lose face in front of such a large crowd!

If the General Zhenguo who loved his daughter as if her life were to find out about this, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause!

After defeating Baili Ziyan with her lesson, Nangong Lingwei turned her head to look at Hong Zhong, "Zhong Er, you … Is it true that you can't read? " If that was really the case, then she really would have to consider the Xuan Ancestor's group of people and discuss with them. In the future, Hong Zhong would become an imperial concubine, and with her status as a Red House, he might even become an Ascendant cultivator in the future.

However, how could this ignorant Queen be revered by all the people in the world as a mother?

"Seriously!" He sounded quite certain.
