Chapter 1129: Xie Mingfang, the Talented Lady of Beijing

An Ziqiu on the side came forward again and leaned gently against Lu Xingwan. Lu Xingwan turned his head and looked at An Ziqiu, and the two smiled knowingly.

Of course, not just the two of them, everyone else noticed that the Seventh Princess's staggering look just now was clearly a deliberate act.

He just wanted to show weakness in front of Duke Anguo.

Seeing that the Seventh Princess had already climbed onto her horse, Pei Chuyan was just about to give her a few words of advice.

After all, the people he taught were princesses and princes of noble status, so in order to avoid any accidents, he still had to say a few more words.

But before he could say anything, he saw the Seventh Princess had already raised the reins in her hand. She gently clamped the horse's belly with her legs. The horse sensed the owner's eagerness, raised its front hooves high, and then galloped forward.

Pei Chuyan stepped back a few steps to avoid the dust raised by the horse's hooves.

He looked at the seventh princess's leaving back and felt a headache.

To be honest, at first, he refused to be this gentleman.

But later, thinking that Lu Xingwan was also among them, he agreed for some unknown reason.

He also knew that many unexpected things would happen during this process.

Some of these princes and princesses are used to being spoiled and don't care at all about what others think.

As expected, it has only just begun and someone like the Seventh Princess who is undisciplined has already appeared.

I'm afraid there will be many more difficult things like this in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Chuyan controlled the anger in his heart and calmed himself down.

But people who are familiar with Pei Chuyan know that he must be angry now.

No one knew what Pei Chuyan would do next, but amid everyone's confusion, Pei Chuyan just turned sideways and looked in the direction the Seventh Princess left.

Because most of Pei Chuyan's body was facing away from everyone, no one could see the emotions in Pei Chuyan's eyes.

In the silence, a woman standing next to the Eighth Princess took lotus steps and walked towards where Pei Chuyan was.

Naturally, Lu Xingwan's attention was quickly attracted.

She turned to look at the woman. Today she was wearing a light pink riding suit, and she really looked like a blooming peach blossom.

Lu Xingwan did not recognize this person and had never seen her at the palace banquet.

So her eyes followed the woman closely, as if she wanted to see clearly who she was.

I have to say that the young ladies in the capital city are really good at showing themselves.

She bowed respectfully in front of Pei Chuyan, and as she did so, a strand of hair in front of her forehead gently fell down.

To be honest, this action is quite charming.

However, she did not seem to notice her abnormality, and just spoke to Pei Chuyan: "Please don't be angry, sir. The Seventh Princess has always been willful and spontaneous. Maybe she has occasionally acted inappropriately. Please don't be angry, sir."

After saying this, she deliberately looked at everyone standing on the field, and said to Pei Chuyan with a little bit of coquettishness: "Sir, please also take care of us. After all, in addition to the Seventh Princess, we are also your students!"

Seeing her gentle and graceful look, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh. If it were him, he would probably agree.

Perhaps it was because of Pei Chuyan's marriage proposal that Lu Xingwan couldn't help but have that kind of emotion. She also felt that every woman who approached Pei Chuyan now might have that kind of thought about him in her heart.

At this time, An Ziqiu continued to whisper to the princess, "Princess, this is Xie Mingfang, the daughter of the Xuanzheng Envoy, and the eighth princess's study companion."

Lu Xingwan knew that she was the eighth princess's study partner, but she did not know Xie Mingfang.

Lu Xingwan even had no impression of her father, Lord Xie.

However, I think that someone who can send his daughter to the palace to study with his father should have a certain power and status in the capital.

Or maybe this person is someone who is valued by the emperor, so he was chosen.

Lu Xingwan knew clearly in his heart that the so-called selection of study partners was actually just a means for his father and the Crown Prince to win over the ministers.

However, this method is actually beneficial and harmless to them.

Just as my mother said, the former dynasty and the harem are forever inseparable.

It was precisely because of this that, after listening to Wanwan's thoughts, she revealed the news to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, asking them to protect themselves.

However, from An Ziqiu's tone, Lu Xingwan keenly grasped that An Ziqiu probably didn't like Xie Mingfang very much.

Perhaps it was because she had a preconceived impression of An Ziqiu, so now, since he was someone she didn't like, Lu Xingwan also felt that he was not a good person.

She no longer looked in the direction where Lu Xingyan left, but turned to look at An Ziqiu beside her.

It seemed as if he was waiting for her to speak and continue talking about this matter.

An Ziqiu looked past Lu Xingwan and towards Xie Mingfang again.

Knowing that some ladies in the capital looked down on her, An Ziqiu always kept her distance from these banquets.

But that gathering was somewhat special.

So at her mother's insistence, she went with her mother.

The location chosen for this gathering is in a garden on the outskirts of Beijing. It is surrounded by green mountains and has winding streams. It is indeed a wonderful place.

When An Ziqiu and his mother arrived, many ladies and young ladies had already gathered.

It has to be said that this talented woman in the capital really shocked An Ziqiu.

They each showed off their own style, some playing the zither in the pavilion, while others writing with a brush at the desk.

Among these many talented women, Xie Mingfang is undoubtedly the focus of attention. She is well-known as a talented woman in Beijing.

Not to mention her appearance, when An Ziqiu came to Beijing, her talent and fame had already spread throughout the capital.

And among the descriptions of the people, her poems always touch everyone's heart.

But An Ziqiu never expected that he would discover Xie Mingfang's secret just by attending this gathering.

Although An Ziqiu also learned some rituals, music, poetry and books under her father's instruction, she believed that she had no talent for these things and was not proficient in them.

But she knew that if she tried to compose a poem in front of so many talented women, she would probably lose face for her father.

So she quietly found a corner covered by flowers, lay down on the grass, and wanted to enjoy a moment of peace alone.

Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap, she heard a slight argument.

She gently moved the leaves, but saw Xie Mingfang was about to slap the woman in front of her in the face.

The woman didn't dodge and just took the hit, which made An Ziqiu frown.
