Chapter 460 Miss is so good at arguing!

What was that poetry gathering in the capital? Lin Yuesha had no idea.

Qin Nanyan was too cunning, which disgusted Lin Yuesha. Originally, she should have remained indifferent, pretended not to know anything, and left immediately. However, the fact that Miss Qin spoke so casually proved that she took the matter very seriously.

"The reason I came to Beijing is for the poetry gathering in the capital."

Lin Yuesha smiled shyly, looked down at her toes, and pondered Qin Nanyan's probing intentions.

It's probably a poetry gathering in the capital. Qin Nanyan wants to stand out and is afraid someone stronger than her might appear, so she inquired about it. People like her, with their cunning, are most afraid of unexpected changes.

Lin Yuesha and Qin Nanyan were thinking different things, but by sheer coincidence, Lin Yuesha's thoughts struck a chord with Qin Nanyan.

To come to the poetry gathering so arrogantly, not even giving Miss Pang any face, could it be that the offer has already been made in advance...?

No, no, someone so poor and shabby wouldn't become his princess. She's probably just attending a poetry gathering to see which other young men she could meet.

Qin Nanyan rubbed her temples, suspecting that she had been under too much pressure and worrying too much lately, which was why she was acting out of her mind and overthinking whenever she encountered something unusual.

Thinking of this, she lowered her guard and instead asked the waitress, "Your Jinxiulou is known for not liking to make clothes, so why have you made more than a dozen pieces and they are all the same size?"

Although dresses can be form-fitting, they can't be too tight. Qin Nanyan is slender and has a larger frame, so she still can't fit into them.

"this……"

In a single sentence, the intentions of Jinxiulou were immediately exposed. The waitress almost burst into tears. The young lady hadn't suspected anything before, but now she might.

If she stammered and couldn't answer, it would arouse suspicion. If she accidentally revealed that it was only twenty taels a piece, the truth would be completely exposed. So the waitress quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "The embroiderers we hired at Jinxiulou are new. As you know, Miss Qin, women in the south have slender frames, so you might think that women in the capital are the same."

"oh."

Qin Nanyan immediately accepted this explanation. She looked at Lin Yuesha and asked, "Miss, do you know Young Master Luo?"

In the capital, only that man's mother had the surname Luo, so when he traveled outside, he always claimed to be surnamed Luo in order not to reveal his identity. Later, when he came of age, he was granted the title of king and became known as the King of Luo.

Young Master Luo refers to Xiao Chengyu; there is no one else besides him.

Qingxing immediately understood Qin Nanyan's probing. She was very annoyed because, due to her dereliction of duty, she hadn't mentioned any of the people and events in the capital to her young mistress.

Prince Luo was the object of desire for many young ladies in the capital. How could their young mistress, a northerner, possibly know him? In particular, Qingxing caught a glimpse of the man going upstairs and was on the verge of tears.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn't very well remind her, so she grabbed Lin Yuesha's hand, hoping she would understand and not say anything carelessly.

Xiao Chengyu rode his horse past Jinxiu Tower and came up to deliver a message.

Today I invited Lord Qin to go horseback riding, but unexpectedly, Lord Qin's horse was startled during the ride, and Lord Qin fell off the horse. Although he was not seriously injured, he was a little frightened.

Since he was injured while riding a horse, Xiao Chengyu heard that Qin Nanyan was at Jinxiu Tower, and since it was on his way, he came to look for her.

He went upstairs and happened to run into Lin Yuesha and Qin Nanyan talking.

The surname Luo is extremely rare; there are only a handful of people with the surname Luo in the capital. So, the "Young Master Luo" she was referring to was undoubtedly him. However, she did not recognize the little girl opposite Qin Nanyan.

Do you know him?

Qin Nanyan didn't hear any movement behind her, so she asked Lin Yuesha.

Lin Yuesha blinked and looked at Qingxing. What did it mean to grab her hand? Should she acknowledge her or not?

Qingxing shook her head. "Don't say you know him. The real person is right behind me."

"Yes, of course we know each other."

Lin Yuesha turned her head away, not seeing the hint Qingxing had given her. She smiled and said, "Young Master Luo is a very nice person."

The Prince of Luo is very easygoing and doesn't have the airs of royalty. It's true that he's a good person.

Qin Nanyan was suspicious. She had heard that the old princess had relatives in the south. Could it be that she brought them here just to give them to Prince Luo, so that they could become relatives? If that were the case, it would break the hearts of all the young ladies in the capital.

Regardless of what others think, she is determined to rise above others, especially since her father and Prince Luo have a good relationship, and Qin Nanyan believes she has this advantage.

Xiao Chengyu went upstairs and looked at Lin Yuesha. He was certain he had never seen this girl before, so he asked, "Oh, what does this Young Master Luo do?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted, startling Qin Nanyan so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. She turned around and saw the person she had been longing for standing right in front of her.

Why would the Prince of Luo come to a place like Jinxiu Tower? Could it be to pick up the young girl before him? If so…

Qin Nanyan was in a state of utter confusion, and her body swayed twice, but the maid behind her caught her in time.

Who knows what Young Master Luo does? Lin Yuesha has no idea. But then the newcomers appeared beside Qin Nanyan; they're probably in cahoots.

So Lin Yuesha said impatiently, "The letter-writing stalls at the city gate charge twenty copper coins per letter."

"Pfft..."

Qingxing couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Logically, she should bear a lot of responsibility for her young mistress's embarrassment, but it was just too funny, and she couldn't help it.

To say to the Prince of Luo that he wrote a letter for twenty coins each is simply...

It's estimated that only our young lady in the entire Great Qi would say such a thing. Ignorance is no excuse. At least arranging for Prince Luo to be a poor, pedantic scholar isn't too outrageous.

"Young Master Luo, what brings you here?"

When Qin Nanyan saw Prince Luo, she first bowed. She had no intention of exposing Lin Yuesha's lie to the person in question, as her attention was entirely focused on Prince Luo.

"Miss Qin, you should go home quickly."

Xiao Chengyu cut to the chase, saying, "Your father fell off his horse and was quite frightened."

He only came to deliver a message on his way, nothing more.

"My father is injured?"

Qin Nanyan dared not delay any longer and immediately led her maid downstairs, disappearing from Jinxiu Tower in the blink of an eye.

Luo Wang looked at Lin Yuesha, who was blushing and making things up, and said, "Little girl, I don't know you, but now we are acquainted."

"Well... you're not the only one with the surname Luo."

Lin Yuesha remained stubborn and tried to argue her way out of it. She said, "I come from the north and my Mandarin is not good. Who knows if Miss Qin said Luo or Luo? I couldn't hear clearly."

Xiao Chengyu: ...So, it turns out he was just being delusional? This little girl is quite interesting.

Qingxing: ...Miss, you're so good at making excuses!

A moment later, Miss Pang came out from the inner room. She had lost a dress, and Jinxiulou wanted to compensate her. If Qin Nanyan hadn't insisted that it looked good, she wouldn't have tried it on. Hearing the conversation between the two, Pang Pang said listlessly, "Young Master Luo, please don't take it to heart. She's from the countryside. My surname is clearly Pang, but she insists that my surname is Pang. She doesn't speak Mandarin."
