Three days later, Xun Nian Nian got up early. Today was the day of the poetry tea party, and she had to dress up a little.
She had heard that participants in such events usually dressed up for the occasion.
Everyone else is dressed up, so she can't be too shabby.
Although she had no intention of competing with those noble ladies for beauty, she also did not want to be the "oddball" in the audience.
"Our young lady is so beautiful. Look, she looks so outstanding even with just some dressing up. She will definitely not lose to others!" Dong Xing praised with a smile.
"You're just sweet-talking!"
Xun Niannian looked at the fair and bright face in the mirror, her eyes slightly curved and a smile spread out.
She personally selected a hairpin and handed it to Dong Xing, asking her to put it on for her.
After seeing that there was no problem, he got up and set off.
…
The poetry tea party was held at a villa in the south of the city. It took about an hour to get there by carriage from Prince He's palace.
An hour later, the carriage stopped outside the gate of a villa.
Before entering, Xun Nian Nian's attention was attracted by the large words on the plaque above the door.
Those large characters were written with vigorous strokes and measured control. Even a layman could tell that the person who wrote these characters must have had extraordinary calligraphy skills.
Of course, Xun Niannian was attracted by these words. Besides the fact that they looked good, the handwriting of these words made her feel vaguely familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before...
"Qinghe Villa." Xun Niannian slowly read out the words, and said to Dong Xing behind her with a smile, "It's obvious that these words on the plaque are written with great skill. I wonder who wrote them?"
Just as Dong Xing was about to respond, a voice with a hint of laughter suddenly came from behind, "Sixth brother's wife, do you really not know who wrote this?"
Xun Niannian turned around in the direction of the voice and saw a smiling face.
This person was none other than Zhu Yunlu.
She wore a light blue dress today, which made her look very elegant and refined.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are here too!"
Xun Niannian didn't expect that Zhu Yunlu would come too.
That's great.
She was worried that all the people at this poetry tea party would be strangers! Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar face before she even entered the door.
After meeting several times, Xun Niannian no longer had much good feelings towards the Fourth Prince. Whenever she saw him, especially when they were alone together, she would feel very uncomfortable.
But Zhu Yunlu is different.
Xun Niannian still has a good impression of Zhu Yunlu, the heroine of the original book.
Zhu Yunlu smiled and nodded. "I seldom attend poetry tea parties like this on weekdays. This time, I received an invitation from the Princess of Yueqing County, so I thought I would come here since I have nothing to do. I didn't expect you to come too."
Then, she looked up at the words on the plaque above the door and asked, "Sixth sister-in-law, can you really not tell who wrote these words?"
"I don't know." Xun Niannian shook her head, "Do you know who wrote it?"
When Zhu Yunlu heard Xun Niannian's question, she was obviously surprised.
She was about to return her.
Suddenly, a somewhat shrill female voice interrupted.
"These words were written by Brother Lian He! Princess Six, you can't even recognize Brother Lian He's handwriting?"
The person who came was Princess Hui'an.
Princess Hui'an walked over slowly, her tone full of sarcasm.
Xun Niannian frowned.
These words are actually the words of a villain!
No wonder she felt he looked familiar. It must be because she had accidentally caught a glimpse of him in Chen Lianhe's study.
However, the words on the paper were not quite the same as the words carved and enlarged on the plaque. In addition, the font Chen Lianhe usually used in his documents seemed to be different from this, so she did not recognize it immediately.
Although she was ridiculed by Princess Hui'an, Xun Niannian did not feel embarrassed.
Zhu Yunlu at the side came to the rescue and said, "Sixth Prince probably doesn't use this kind of handwriting on a daily basis, so Sixth Sister-in-law didn't recognize it for a while."
"Is it really like that?" Princess Hui'an raised her voice and asked sarcastically again.
