"What?"
"Did you also write the poem 'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers remind me of her face'?"
"How is this possible!"
"It's not impossible. Xiao Yu composed the poem 'Ten years to forge a sword' on the spot, so how could he not write 'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers remind me of her face'?"
"So, both of these poems were written by Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu's words caused the hall to become lively again, and everyone was extremely shocked and discussed it among themselves.
At this moment, a scholar suddenly shouted, "I can testify that the poem 'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers remind me of her face' was indeed written by Xiao Yu. That night, I was at Baoyue Tower and personally witnessed Xiao Yu composing the poem, defeating Gu Quan of the Imperial Academy, and becoming the top courtesan!"
"Wow, it really is him!"
"In other words, Xiao Yu is not a fool, but a cultured man with profound knowledge of poetry!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"I never expected Xiao Yu to have such poetic talent!"
After several emotional shifts, the crowd finally believed the truth.
At the same time, when Wu Xuanhuang looked at Xiao Yu again, her gaze was different. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of approval, and she nodded gently.
The entire capital knew that the tenth son of the Xiao Prince's mansion had suffered from intellectual impairment. His ability to compose a poem could be attributed to a fleeting moment of inspiration or a lucky accident...
However, the fact that Xiao Yu composed two excellent poems in a short period of time is enough to demonstrate that he has a very high talent in poetry!
A hint of appreciation flashed in Wu Xuanhuang's beautiful eyes as she said, "I... I really like poetry. Since both poems are from your hand, let's make a deal. We'll meet here again in three days. If you can write another poem, I'll become your friend, how about that?"
"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.
Although the other party didn't mention the prize, a young lady who would use a treasure like the Dragon Sword as a prize certainly wouldn't be stingy.
Also, she just said "朕?" or "真?"... Xiao Yu didn't hear clearly, but his intuition told him that this stunning woman was no ordinary person!
See you in three days.
Wu Xuanhuang nodded slightly to Xiao Yu, then got up and left.
"..."
The white-clad female swordsman named Jing'er glanced at Xiao Yu with a complicated expression, then remained silent.
With the two pretty girls gone, everyone's attention turned to Xiao Yu.
Actually, besides Chu Tianjiao, Bai Can, and others...
Besides Chief Minister Zhao, who was an adversary of Prince Xiao's household in the imperial court...
Most people feel gratitude and admiration for the Xiao Prince's Mansion, and even respect and reverence for it!
Everyone surrounded Xiao Yu; some wanted to see the Youlong Sword in his hand, while others wanted to discuss poetry with him.
Everyone was talking at once, and for a moment Xiao Yu felt a buzzing in his ears, making it impossible to hear who was speaking.
"Everyone, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"
Xiao Yu had no interest in showing off his Dragon Sword to them, nor in discussing poetry with them.
He's going to the market to buy ingredients for making MSG and chicken bouillon before returning to Prince Xiao's residence to carry out his grand plan to make a fortune.
Although he was in a hurry to leave, Xiao Yu did not use his aura to shake off the crowd like the white-clad female swordsman did. Instead, he struggled to squeeze out.
"Wow, these people are crazy!"
After leaving, Xiao Yu sighed with lingering fear.
No wonder they were so crazy; the Dragon Sword in his hand was made by the number one swordsmith of the Great Xia Dynasty, and its quality was the same as the Dragon Gall Spear of the Xiao Prince's Mansion.
Now, Ou Ye Zixuan, the greatest swordsmith of the Great Xia Dynasty, is getting old and has almost no more works.
The weapons he used have now been hyped up to astronomical prices, and they are so expensive that they are impossible to buy!
What also drove everyone crazy was Xiao Yu's poetic talent. The poetry culture of the Great Xia Dynasty was weak, and Xiao Yu's two poems were like two bombs dropped into the poetry foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty, which excited all the scholars. No wonder they kept surrounding Xiao Yu and asking him questions.
"Hurry up and buy raw materials, making money is the priority!"
Xiao Yu carried the Youlong Sword and walked towards the vegetable market.
...
On the other side.
After leaving the Jade Liquid Pavilion, Wu Xuanhuang followed Shangguan Jing'er for several hundred meters, turned a corner, and got into an extremely luxurious carriage.
"Your Majesty, are you going to leave the palace incognito in three days?"
Only after getting into the carriage did Shangguan Jing'er dare to address him in such a respectful tone.
"certainly."
Wu Xuanhuang nodded slightly, his clear and cold voice full of authority, and said, "I have loved poetry since I was a child, and I like both of Xiao Yu's poems very much... I was too hasty just now and forgot to ask him the title of the poem. I must ask him next time I see him."
“But… Your Majesty is exceptionally handsome and elegant. Every time you travel incognito, it attracts a lot of attention. There are many spies among the officials in the capital. I’m afraid your identity will be discovered,” Shangguan Jing’er said with some concern.
Indeed, Wu Xuanhuang is incredibly beautiful. Her beauty shines through in every way, from her face to her figure, even in the most ordinary clothes.
Previously, Wu Xuanhuang and Shangguan Jing'er were both dressed in very ordinary plain clothes, but not long after leaving the palace, they were both targeted by a playboy.
That spoiled brat spoke rudely to Wu Xuanhuang and tried to abduct her to his mansion to be his concubine... but Shangguan Jing'er ended up cutting off his right ear with a single sword stroke!
Finding that ordinary clothes could not hide her beauty, Wu Xuanhuang disguised herself as a man.
The result was... he was discovered as soon as he left the palace!
Her figure was simply too good; no man had such fair skin, such large pectoral muscles, such a slender and supple waist, or such a shapely bottom.
In short, it was obvious at a glance!
Finally, Wu Xuanhuang simply stopped pretending. She went on an incognito trip as a noble young lady, with Grandmaster Shangguan Jing'er as her female bodyguard.
This time, as expected, no one dared to harass her, and no one dared to approach her.
Those spoiled rich kids aren't stupid. They might bully ordinary people, but when faced with an extremely well-dressed rich young lady or a powerful master swordsman, they wouldn't dare to utter a word of flirtation.
"It doesn't matter if we get caught."
Wu Xuanhuang's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "Just now at the Jade Pavilion, Chief Minister Zhao had already discovered me... However, I gave him a look, and he obediently went upstairs. As long as Xiao Yu and those common people don't discover my identity, then traveling incognito will still be interesting."
"However, with so many affairs of state at court, it is indeed impossible to leave the palace frequently..."
At this point, Wu Xuanhuang's beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.
After a moment, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Jing'er, can you help me check on Xiao Yu's recent situation? The Xiao family is full of loyal and righteous people and should not be marginalized by the court. If Xiao Yu's intelligence is not a problem... or if his intellectual impairment is not serious, I am prepared to give him an important position!"
"yes!"
Shangguan Jing'er accepted the order.
