Chapter 347 Awkward
Now that Xiaoxiao was the only one who hadn't chosen, Concubine Hui asked.
Su Xiaoxiao blurted out, "I like the emperor brother's the best, but there's no emperor brother here, so I won't choose anyone!"
"What, there's no emperor?" The noble lady was startled and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing to be confused about. The emperor was the supreme ruler, how could he compete with a young man from aristocratic family? To put it bluntly, if he lost, where would the emperor's majesty be?
Gu Huaiyu did not participate, not because he was afraid of losing. His choice of empress had been decided, so naturally he didn't need to please others.
Soon, the results came out. On the noble lady's side, the first place was Su Lingxi, the second place was Chen Jingshu, and the third place was He Fang.
As for the young masters and officials, Kang Lun won the first place with an absolute advantage, while the others only got one or two flower seals.
They thought that Su Lingxi had chosen the emperor, and the literary talent of the poem was also very outstanding, so they followed the trend and chose Kang Lun. Who could have thought that it was Kang Lun, a scholar.
Kang Lun is now trusted by the emperor and is a hot figure. Now it seems that the empress will definitely choose between He Fang and Zheng Feixue, and they should also plan for themselves.
After the talent competition, it is time to meet and see if they are attracted to each other.
Concubine Hui still had tea and chatted with the ladies, and then these young ladies went to the Yu Garden to appreciate the flowers.
By then, the young masters of those families will also go together and meet each other.
The emperor doesn't even write poems, so he certainly won't go to visit the Yu Garden.
But the ladies were still in high spirits. After all, you can't just come to the Yu Garden.
Besides, the people who came today were either rich or noble. If they really got along well, it's not impossible to create a good story.
The emperor took the peculiarly shaped snake, said he had some government affairs to deal with, and left first.
Pei Yuan looked at the emperor's back and asked curiously: "Changhe, does our emperor have such bad taste? What's so good about that colorful big snake?"
"It's colorful and festive, what's wrong with it!" Su Changhe obviously knew that it was Su Xiaoxiao's masterpiece,
but he didn't allow Pei Yuan to belittle Xiaoxiao's work, but he was also a little confused in his heart. Even if he loved the emperor, the emperor was too much.
Su Changhe always felt that his precious sister was closer to the emperor.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go and take a walk in Yu Garden!" Pei Yuan came here with a mission today, so he was in high spirits.
"No, I'm not interested!" Su Changhe didn't care about the marriage at all. His sister hasn't gotten married yet, why is he in a hurry.
Su Changhe got goosebumps all over his body when he thought of those shy and frail noble ladies. He didn't want to be treated like a monkey by them!
Pei Yuan was in a hurry to meet the young lady of Guangyi Marquis Mansion and had no time to talk nonsense with Su Changhe, so he said to Kang Lun, "Brother Kang, let's go!"
"Brother Kang won't go to such a boring thing, Brother Kang, let's kill a game!" Su Changhe said, and prepared to sit at the chess table.
Who knew that Kang Lun, who never liked to be lively, actually said, "It's good to go and take a look!"
Su Changhe looked at Kang Lun curiously and found that he kept rubbing his hands and looked very nervous.
Su Changhe suddenly realized that his sister was here today, and Brother Kang wanted to see his sister.
Kang Lun was dull and serious. Now he was so nervous that he probably couldn't even speak a complete sentence even if he saw his sister.
Except for Su Lingxi, everyone in the Su family knew that Kang Lun loved Su Lingxi. Su Lingxi was in a girls' school at the time and just missed Su Xiaoxiao's voice.
Su Changhe naturally wanted to go and add fuel to the fire so that his sister could find happiness as soon as possible.
So he followed them: "If you all go, I will go too!"
The three of them came to Yu Garden with laughter. Pei Yuan had something on his mind and his eyes were always looking around, hoping to see the young lady of Guangyi Marquis's Mansion as soon as possible. "
Su Changhe saw all this and couldn't help complaining: "Pei Yuan, I knew you had something to do. Why did you follow me so eagerly and look so eager? Tell me, which girl do you like?"
Pei Yuan waved his hands: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
But his eyes were still searching everywhere. He wanted to see if the girl from Guangyi Marquis's Mansion could be so powerful and as magical as her grandmother said.
Su Changhe kept pursuing: "You are a guy who forgets friends for the sake of beauty. You actually hid something from me. Tell me the truth. Which girl do you like? Then your brother can help you."
Kang Lun also made fun of Pei Yuan with Su Changhe: "Pei Yuan, we are brothers, why are you hiding things!"
"Brother Kang, why are you like this! I think you are the one who is nervous. Among these ladies today, there might be someone you like!" Pei Yuan didn't want them to know how his grandmother had humiliated him, so he wanted to divert the trouble to others. Then Kang Lun started talking.
Kang Lun's little thoughts were exposed, and he hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no woman I like!" But his tone was full of panic.
Su Changhe found it interesting, so he deliberately shouted: "Sister! "
Kang Lun almost lost his balance after hearing this. He didn't know how to express his feelings in the first place. If Su Lingxi heard that he didn't have anyone he liked, he would be considered a lecher if he spoke again.
Su Changhe couldn't help laughing when he saw that his evil plan had succeeded.
Before he finished laughing, he heard Su Lingxi's cold shout: "Changhe, you think you are at home, why are you so unruly!"
Her voice was not loud and her tone was not strong, but Su Changhe shuddered with fear.
He and Xiaoxiao were both afraid of his sister's prestige!
"Sister! "Su Changhe immediately became extremely well-behaved.
Kang Lun's hanging heart finally died. His voice was so loud just now that Lingxi must have heard it. The words of confession that he had prepared for several days and nights could not be said in the end.
Su Lingxi rolled her eyes at Su Changhe, and then greeted Kang Lun and Pei Yuan.
"Sister Su, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even better!" Pei Yuan was familiar with the Su family, so he spoke without restraint.
"You are so sweet! "Su Lingxi scolded.
After that, she pulled out the woman next to her and introduced her, "This is Miss Chen Jingshu from Guangyi Marquis's Mansion. Jingshu, this is last year's number one scholar Kang Lunkang, this is the prime minister's grandson Pei Yuan, and this silly guy is my younger brother, Su Changhe!"
Su Lingxi introduced everyone, Kang Lun's embarrassment had not yet been relieved, Pei Yuan was embarrassed again.
He had no idea that the girl in front of him was the daughter of Guangyi Marquis's Mansion, he just thought she was a daughter of another family, so he talked to Su Lingxi without restraint, and every word of his words fell into Chen Jingshu's ears.
Chen Jingshu must have thought he was a slick and playboy, how could she like him.
