Chapter 400 The Concubine's Sister, a Time Traveler VS the First Sister, a Reborn Daughter (6)

On that day, the eldest princess's poetry gathering was packed with people. The carriages and horses of dignitaries came and went. Ge Mingyi followed the young lady of the Zhao family, one after the other, getting off the carriage with the gilded "Zhao" character.

The Zhao family was the imperial merchant appointed by the current emperor. All the purchases for the royal family were handled by the Zhao family. The profits from this were imaginable. Zhao Qicai had only one daughter, Zhao Lilang, so naturally he treated her with great pampering. But his daughter did not like gold, silver, and treasures, but liked those strange and eccentric things from the people. Because of her special hobby, she had a unique reputation in Kyoto. Ge Mingyi gave her a sand timer that she had made by herself to please her, and then

she proudly came to this poetry gathering. As soon as Ge Yuyi got off the carriage, she saw her annoying concubine sister. She suddenly realized that her concubine sister had not claimed to be sick yesterday because she was ashamed, but because of her plan for today. She really underestimated her half-sister.

"Yuyi, is the one following Miss Zhao your half-sister? You know what, she really looks a bit like you. I didn't see her at the usual gatherings, and I thought it was because your Ge family was strict with her. I didn't expect to meet her at the Princess's Poetry Meeting today. I really didn't expect that your Ge family would treat half-sisters and legitimate daughters equally." Miss Chen, who had always been at odds with her, immediately stood up and said something sarcastic.

Ge Yuyi certainly understood what she meant, but no matter how much she hated her half-sister, she couldn't slap her sister in front of all the noble ladies in Kyoto, so she held back and said slowly: "The rules of the Ge family are not fixed, Sister Chen is here to give instructions. But if Yuyi remembers correctly, Sister Chen is already eighteen this year, right? Has she decided on a husband?"

This Miss Chen is good in everything else, but she has a body odor. Normally, you can't smell it, but once you stay in a closed space with her for a long time, you will be dizzy and dazzled by her smell. The maid beside her told her that she has body odor. Because of this problem, she has never been able to find a suitable marriage partner. After all, there are so many girls in Kyoto, and those dignitaries can't even pick them all.

"You..." Miss Chen pointed at her but couldn't say anything. Finally, she swung her sleeves and strode forward.

"Humph!" Ge Yuyi glared at her back, obviously not taking her seriously. Her eyes were fixed on Ge Mingyi. She wanted to see what kind of trouble her sister could make at the princess' poetry meeting today.

Qinzheng Hall.

The morning court had not started yet, but the civil and military officials had already stood in their positions, bowing and waiting for the emperor to arrive.

The fourth prince, who had not slept all night, was standing and feeling drowsy, but was suddenly awakened by the person who appeared in front of him.

"The fourth prince looks a little pale today. Did you not get enough rest last night?" The official beside him asked considerately.

Qi Yanlian glanced at Qi Yanlai, who should have disappeared in the hall, and suppressed his inner doubts. Then he yawned and slowly answered the other party's question.

"Good morning, everyone." The eldest prince Qi Yanlai would say this to every official he passed by. He paid close attention to their expressions when they saw him, and there was almost no big difference. There was only one person who made him feel a little strange. That was his fourth brother.

Although his fourth brother was mediocre, he had the imperial concubine as his adoptive mother to plan for him. Therefore, he never looked down on him. But although there was no big problem with his eyes when he saw me just now, I caught the flash of surprise. Hmm~ Interesting. Maybe he still underestimated his fourth brother. He walked to the position where he should stand calmly.

At this time, Qi Yanlian was in a very uneasy mood. Yesterday, he almost sacrificed half his life to successfully assassinate the other party. Now his heart is still aching. He thought it would be the result he wanted, but he didn't expect that the other party was still standing in front of him alive and kicking! All his efforts were in vain!

There was nothing interesting in the morning court. It was nothing more than daily work requests and reports. After the court, Qi Yanlai deliberately came to the side of the fourth brother Qi Yanlian, and took advantage of the two people's greetings to inadvertently hit his chest with both fists.

Qi Yanlian knew that he must be suspicious of him. But as long as there is no evidence, he can't do anything to him. Since it was a test, he would naturally not be fooled. What

Qi Yanlai saw was that he continued to talk to him with a normal expression. His eyes became deep.

The eldest princess held a poetry meeting, and the four princes naturally had to go to support it. Qi Yanlai thought that he would meet Ge Shiyi, the legitimate daughter of the Ge family, at the poetry meeting today, but he didn't expect that the legitimate daughter didn't see it, but saw her sister and sister competing at the poetry meeting. It's a pity that Ge Shiyi's legitimate sister is not smart. She insisted on writing poems even though she obviously couldn't write any. She was defeated after a few rounds. Although Ge Shiyi's sister is not very beautiful, she is elegant when she writes poems. Her poems are also brilliant and have a unique style. In the end, she naturally won.

It's a pity that he was born not interested in these talented women. He has been familiar with classics, history, and collections since he was a child. The most impressive thing is the words of the saints, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise." Those talented women are even more difficult to raise because they are proud of their nobleness. He can't afford to provoke them. He left without reading the rest.

Ge Yuyi thought that her sister was stupid and it was embarrassing to write poems on stage. Who knew that she had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all these years. No, not just these years, but also the first half of her life! She was driven off the stage in disgrace. Originally, she had placed her hopes on Wang Ruoruo, the most talented woman in Kyoto, thinking that Wang Ruoruo could defeat her sister, but she didn't know that this talented woman took the initiative to step down after less than ten rounds. She could see the hot eyes of the nobles around her staring at her sister Ge Mingyi. This made her very unhappy! But now she is in the Princess's Mansion, even if she is very dissatisfied, she dare not make trouble here.

Humph. See how I deal with you when I get home! She thought she had secretly glared at her sister, but she didn't expect that she had already fallen into the eyes of the third prince Qi Yanyun.

Qi Yanyun has always been a person with no ambitions. He is only interested in eating, drinking and having fun. He is not interested in the rituals, music, archery, charioteering, books and numbers that the prince has learned. In order not to live up to his reputation as a prince, he also tried his best to learn. Ge Yushi is one of the most upright and honest ministers in the court. He does not stand on anyone's side. He does not have to worry about being involved in any power struggle, nor does he have to worry about others being involved in him and planning something. Qi Yanyun's mother knew her son well and didn't want him to fight for a position above everyone else, so she intended to arrange a marriage for him with the legitimate daughter of the Ge family and discussed this with him, so he paid more attention to the Ge family than others. Now, seeing that these legitimate daughters of the Ge family were so intolerant, she immediately felt unhappy.
