Baili Mingyue, who was being pulled by Hong Zhong, quickly walked down the palace path. She only stopped when she arrived at a quiet and secluded palace. Baili Mingyue stopped and asked, "Is it far enough?"

Hong Zhong paused in her steps, and forced out a fawning smile. So he already knew, knew her goal, but he still followed me! " Uncle, you know? "

"Yes." Baili Mingyue replied with a light sound, but didn't say anything else. He turned around and looked elsewhere. His eyes were closed, as he used his internal energy to suppress the blood in his stomach to prevent Hong Zhong from noticing anything amiss.

Last night, he helped Hong Zhong cultivate once again, and now that he had fought with Hua Yurong today, it turned out that his condition was just as Hua Yurong had expected, not much better than Hua Yurong's. So now, he needed to treat him in time, or else he would very likely faint on the ground at any moment.

Seeing that Baili Mingyue did not seem to want to talk anymore, Hong Zhong thought that he was angry and went up to coax him: "Uncle, actually Hua Yurong is my good friend, I am not willing to see any of you get hurt, so I did it. Don't be angry, alright?"

Baili Mingyue closed her eyes and was adjusting her internal energy. As she heard Hong Zhong's words, she held back the chaotic internal energy and replied indifferently, "Mhm."

Hong Zhong looked at Baili Mingyue who still had her eyes closed, and with his concise reply, she deeply believed that this Baili Mingyue was truly angry this time. Otherwise, she wouldn't even want to talk to him! After thinking for a moment, he extended his hand and grabbed Baili Mingyue's hand. He shook her hand and said, "Uncle, don't be angry."

When Baili Mingyue, who was originally deep in thought, saw this flash of Hong Zhong's, he suppressed even more so that his internal breathing became chaotic. He only felt a fishy and sweet feeling rush into his throat, as though it was about to spew out.

Wu Hen, who had been following in the dark all this time, quickly jumped out and pulled Hong Zhong away with a displeased expression: "Let go of me." Master was currently recuperating, how could he withstand such a wobble like her!

Hong Zhong was flung out, and seeing her own free hand, she was stunned. Was she not humble enough?

At this moment, Baili Mingyue held in the sweet taste in her mouth, frowning slightly as she turned to glance at Wu Hen. Wu Hen instantly understood the look in her eyes, and he knelt down on one knee, "Your subordinate has offended you. Please give me your punishment, master."

Wu Hen had been by Baili Mingyue's side for so many years, and had always been loyal to her. Naturally, he would do such a thing for his own good. He closed his eyes and said, "Step down."

"Yes." Wu Hen sighed and turned away.

Only after taking several deep breaths to calm the churning blood in his stomach and opening his eyes, did he realize that Hong Zhong's face was somewhat pale.

Hong Zhong looked at Baili Mingyue, a glimmer actually appearing in her clear eyes. Was it because she wasn't submissive enough? She knew that she was in the wrong and had already coaxed him, but he still didn't reply.

In the face of irrational actions, the anger and unhappiness in one's heart would be magnified several times over. At the moment, in Hong Zhong's heart, when she saw Baili Mingyue hesitating, it was like grass growing and birds flying.

Seeing the light in Hong Zhong's eyes, Baili Mingyue had a bad premonition. She was about to speak when Hong Zhong ran off without looking back.

He wanted to stop her, but his chest was stuffy and the blood and energy he had suppressed just now was surging once again. This time, he couldn't hold it back no matter what, and a trace of blood dripped down the corner of his lips.

… ….

Imperial General's Estate

The setting sun gradually descended, leaving behind a trace of bright red sunset. The evening wind blew across the bamboo forest, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle. A man dressed in a light blue robe had returned from the palace and had already been sitting under the bamboo forest for a full four hours.

Hong Li quietly sat at the bottom of the bamboo forest, allowing the night wind to blow his hair, his eyes looking down, making it hard for people to see his emotions.

"Big brother." "Hong Zhan walked in from the outer court and looked at Hong Li worriedly. That's why she has a good impression of Baili Mingyue. Once she regains her memories and understands her responsibilities, she will definitely let this opportunity slip by. "

Hong Li lowered his head, and thought for a while: "Second brother, Zhong Er has already grown up, do you know? This afternoon, I have been thinking whether it's a good or bad thing that Zhong Er lost his memories. If Zhong Er did not lose his memories, do you think she would have stopped thinking about it? "

He had also seen the matter of Hong Zhong being in the palace with a hundred thousand taels of gold. While he was exclaiming at Hong Zhong's intelligence, he also realized that when Baili Mingyue looked at Hong Zhong, the affection in her eyes was not something that could be realized in a day and a night.

Hearing that, Hong Zhan comforted: "But whether or not Zhong Er has lost her memories, all of it belongs to her. It can only be done by her, and no one else can replace her.

Hearing that, Hong Li gave a noncommittal smile.

Hong Zhan patted Hong Li's shoulder: "That's right, big brother, Congress of Poetry is about to begin. The Empress Dowager's imperial decree invites you to participate, do you want to go? "

"I don't think so. I am not interested in the Congress of Poetry, nor am I interested in Baili Ziyan. " Hong Li said with a faint smile. What he needed the most right now was to calm his mind.

Hong Zhan nodded. "Alright, then I'll go first if you don't want to go."

… ….

In the evening, Congress of Poetry was almost ready.

It had to be said that Nangong Yimeng was also a person who understood everything.

On one side was a rose in full bloom, and on the other was a pool of green lotus pond. The night wind was blowing gently, and in the slightly cold air, the fragrance of all kinds of flowers floated, it was extremely pleasing.

The entire Star Observation Platform was covered with flying muslin, and on the stage, there were tables made of crystals. With a low stool made of glazed jade, every girl could choose a seat of their choice.

By the time Hong Zhong rushed to Phoenix Cry Palace, most of the young masters and young masters had already arrived. Looking at the Star Observation Platform, she discovered that other than the row of seats at the north side that were reserved for Baili Yi Chen, Feng Feili, Baili Mingyue and the others, all those good seats that Baili Yi Chen could see had already been occupied by those noble ladies.

When they saw Hong Zhong, they either lowered their heads to drink or raised their heads to look at the sky, all pretending that they did not see Hong Zhong. Her expression showed that she did not want to welcome Hong Zhong anymore.

Hong Zhong shrugged her shoulders indifferently. With her little bit of 'literary talent', she would definitely not be able to go to the row that Baili Yi Chen was sitting in. She was prepared to find a corner to sit at, but she suddenly saw Chu Lingshan beckoning him over, "Little Sister Zhong Er, come sit here."

Hong Zhong looked carefully and realized that it was also a corner where she could slack off, hence she also sat. She smiled at Chu Lingshan, she actually liked Chu Lingshan a lot, even if she could not be her elder sister-in-law, she would still be her friend.

Hong Zhong had not been sitting for long. Baili Yi Chen, Baili Mingyue and the others had also arrived not long after, and sat on the seats that were previously reserved for them.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Nangong Yimeng, as the person in charge of managing the Congress of Poetry, was the first to speak. "Your Majesty, the Regent, all of the noble ladies and Princess Qingyang have arrived.

Baili Yi Chen nodded and said to his subordinates, "Since it's the Congress of Poetry, then it's naturally poetry that counts. Everyone, there's no need to be so reserved. Just pretend that we don't exist."

Upon hearing this, Feng Feili, who was sitting right below Baili Yi Chen, laughed and said, "Actually, when this king's daughter was in Qingyang, she had already heard that the Southern Qi was extremely interesting. It's truly a great honor for this royal daughter of mine to be able to participate in this event, and I don't know what will be the main topic of the Congress of Poetry?"

After Feng Feili finished speaking, everyone turned to look at the person in charge of the Congress of Poetry, Nangong Yimeng. She smiled. However, Yi Meng thought that was not fair, so Yi Meng dared to make an exception. You can just say what you want to say and just enjoy it. "

"Good, what an impromptu speech." Hearing that, Feng Feili laughed and said: "Everyone praises Princess Yimeng for her transparent mind and brilliant talents, and today I see that you are indeed well-deserved of your reputation, the so called specialized in techniques, and the others that you specialize in must be well versed, if you set a fixed topic, it would indeed be a bit unfair. Southern Qi Emperor, what do you think?"

Baili Yi Chen thought for a moment, then looked at the people present and said, "I don't have any problems. I'll see what everyone thinks."

Everyone present squeezed out a smile one after another, repeatedly agreeing, "That's great!"

In truth, however, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Nangong Yimeng, you crafty bitch.

Having no theme was the most difficult thing to do, because aside from worrying that someone else's poems were better than yours, you also had to think of a topic that fit the current scenario so that you wouldn't be ridiculed!

Baili Yi Chen nodded his head, "Since that's the case, then it's decided. Today, the prize will be the Rainbow Glass Sovereign. We and the Regent shall judge as to what we want to say." After she finished speaking, her clear eyes swept across Hong Zhong who was hiding in the corner. She found such a remote corner, and knew that she had no abilities.

When everyone heard the reward, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. This Rainbow Glass Elder was made using the spirit pulp glass s unique to Zhonghe City.

As spirit pulp glass only existed in the Zhonghe City and they had not been mined again in the past few decades, there was only one object as big as Rainbow Glass in the world and it could be seen that it was extremely valuable. Baili Yi Chen had used this item as a reward for the poetry meet. It could be seen that he had been truly generous when he made his move.

As for Hong Zhong, it was exactly as Baili Yi Chen had guessed. She had specially chosen a remote location to hide herself in order to not participate. She was not interested in that Rainbow Glass Zun, since she could not get her hands on it anyway.

"Then I'll go first." Baili Ziyan stood up first.

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Her position was the first one that Baili Yi Chen had left, and she was also the noble Grand Princess. Aside from Princess Qingyang, who had a status comparable to hers, no one else dared to compete against her.

She swept a glance at everyone present, and then slowly spoke out. "Green trees have a dark, long summer day, and the reflection of the pavilion entering the pond. The crystal curtain fluttered in the breeze, filling the room with the scent of roses. "

It was a poem about summer.

This feeling, this scene.

It was so vivid that it matched up with the scene in front of his eyes!

Everyone applauded and had a look of admiration on their faces. Even Baili Yi Chen couldn't help but nod in admiration. Although his sister was usually a bit arrogant and was often used, she was still talented!

"Grand Princess, such literary talent!"

"Grand Princess is truly intelligent!"

Praise after praise caused Baili Ziyan to be in a good mood. Earlier, she had seen the praise in Baili Yi Chen's eyes. One must know that it had been a long time since she had received her royal brother's praise. Now that she had received the acknowledgement of Baili Yi Chen, she was naturally in a happy mood.

With Baili Ziyan leading the way, the people behind gradually let go.

Although their reactions were not as good as Baili Ziyan's, they were still considered excellent. Not long after, it was Nangong Yimeng's turn. She glanced at Baili Yi Chen, then lowered her head as she stood up with a bashful expression.

Seeing this scene, Hong Zhong, who was hiding in a corner, guessed that Nangong Yimeng did not want to borrow Shi Shi to confess to Baili Yi Chen, right? Before the thought completely disappeared from her mind, she heard Nangong Yimeng say softly, "Red Bean is born in the Southern Kingdom, I'll send a few branches over in the spring, may you gather more of these, this is the thing I like the most."

After he finished reading, his face turned red and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Baili Yi Chen's expression.

Even Hong Zhong understood the meaning of this poem, not to mention the noble ladies who had always plotted against Nangong Yimeng. Although they were a little surprised by Nangong Yimeng's unexpected initiative, they could not deny that this poem, was extremely good.

And so, they all applauded and praised, "Good poem, good poem!"

As he applauded, he secretly glanced at Baili Yi Chen's expression.

However, the person in charge of the defense, Baili Yi Chen, actually lowered his head and picked up the wine cup on the table, pretending not to see Nangong Yimeng's expression. His lowered eyes unknowingly sized up the Hong Zhong who was planning to take a break.

As for the main character, Hong Zhong, who was being looked at, fiercely glared at Baili Mingyue, and turned her head away. Don't think that I will give in to you just because you're looking at me now. It's just a Regent; I don't care that much. There are many beautiful men waiting for me in this world. I don't want to hang myself on a tree with your neck tilted!

However, Hong Zhong's' I'm very angry, I can't see you 'made Baili Mingyue feel a sense of powerlessness. He knew that Hong Zhong had misunderstood her, but why did she get angry without even giving her a chance to explain?

The two of them saw that the strange atmosphere around them had surprised Baili Yi Chen. He looked at the furious Hong Zhong and then looked at the pale faced Baili Mingyue. Could it be that Hong Zhong and Uncle Wang had quarreled?

With this thought in mind, Baili Yi Chen suddenly felt a bit happy in his heart. It wouldn't be excessive to say that he was taking pleasure in another's misfortune.
