Chapter 1144: Elegant Gathering
Yes, the princess and the princes have been studying in the Yuezhang Palace these days, and Mr. Rong is the teacher appointed by His Majesty for them.
But he didn't ask any more questions, and just bowed again: "Your Highness, I will withdraw first."
"If your highness needs anything, just let me know."
Lu Xingwan naturally nodded in agreement.
When Lord Rong, dressed in court robes, hurriedly left Yu's study, he was still thinking about what he had just discussed with His Majesty in Yu's study.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door of Yu's study, he saw Princess Yong'an standing not far away waiting for him.
He quickly put his thoughts aside, walked quickly forward, and saluted Lu Xingwan respectfully.
Lu Xingwan did not dare to accept such a greeting from Lord Rong, and bowed slightly in the direction of Lord Rong.
Normally, Mr. Rong is quite strict in disciplining these students, but he actually likes Lu Xingwan very much.
Although she is a little eccentric sometimes, she is a very smart girl.
"Sir, Miss An and I came to see you today because we have something we would like you to help us with."
Lord An looked up at Lu Xingwan in front of him with some confusion, waiting for her next words.
Knowing that Master Rong was always a man of few words, Lu Xingwan did not wait for his response and continued to speak, with a bit of intelligence in his eyes: "Sir, under your teaching during this period of time, our learning ability has also improved a bit."
"Nowadays, everyone is in this palace every day, which is always a bit boring."
"Plus, those companions who entered the palace must be homesick, so it would be better for you to hold a gathering."
"Then you can invite all the sisters who accompanied you to study to come to the palace and join the gathering, so as to ease their homesickness."
"This way, we can also bring some laughter to the Reading Hall."
After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, Mr. Rong's first reaction was to frown subconsciously.
He was quite tight on time when he came to teach these princesses and princes.
Although this gathering sounds good, it would be very complicated and cumbersome to prepare for it.
Now that he is old, he is no longer able to do it.
A gathering of elegant people would almost take up the entire day.
Lu Xingwan naturally saw through Mr. Rong's hesitation, so she hurriedly continued to explain.
"Sir, you don't have to worry about this."
"If you really want to talk about it, it's just in your name." At this point, Lu Xingwan smiled, with a bit of cuteness on his face, "Mr. Rong is very busy with official duties, so this matter naturally cannot be left to you. Then you can let the eunuch in charge of the Yuezhang Palace to prepare for this matter."
"This eunuch who manages the Yuezhang Palace usually arranges many matters in the palace. He is quite experienced."
"With him in charge, this gathering will be well organized, and Mr. Rong will be relieved."
Lord Rong looked up and saw Lu Xingwan's face full of enthusiasm and expectation, and couldn't help but think of her performance in class during this period.
I have to say that her performance in class during this period is quite good.
Even a teacher like him couldn't help but feel gratified. Thinking of this, the balance in his heart gradually tilted.
Finally, he nodded: "In this case, let's do as the princess said and arrange for the eunuch in charge of the Yuezhang Palace to handle this matter!"
When Lu Xingwan saw Mr. Rong's agreement, she was instantly filled with joy.
She saluted to Mr. Rong again with great joy, and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Rong. In this case, Miss An and I will take our leave now."
After saying this, Lu Xingwan took An Ziqiu's wrist and walked out of Yu's study with brisk steps.
Only when they reached the palace road did An Ziqiu ask with some confusion: "Why did the princess suddenly hold an elegant gathering?"
She knew that the princess must have her own intentions. After all, the princess was not the kind of person who would pretend to be cultured.
When Lu Xingwan heard what An Ziqiu said, she stopped, walked up to her and poked her.
There was a hint of mystery in his eyes.
"Of course, it's to expose Xie Mingfang's true colors."
"Since it is an elegant gathering in the palace, there will naturally be a poetry and calligraphy competition. In order to protect her reputation as a talented woman, Xie Linfang will definitely ask her concubine sister to secretly write poems for her."
By then, we just need to think of some way to expose this matter, which will be enough to let everyone know Xie Mingfang's true face.
You have to know that those who can enter the palace to study with their parents all have powerful families.
If they can cause a commotion in the palace, then in the future, they will also cause a commotion in the capital.
When An Ziqiu heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
She looked at Princess Yong'an in front of her with admiration in her eyes: "As expected of Princess Yong'an, this is a brilliant plan."
But then, she felt a little sad again, as if she felt that this was too cruel to Xie Mingfang.
If this matter were to be made public, Xie Mingfang's future marriage prospects in the capital would be completely ruined.
Lu Xingwan saw through An Ziqiu's inner hesitation. She stretched out her finger and gently tapped An Ziqiu's forehead.
There was a hint of intimacy and a hint of blame in his tone: "Look at you! You are just too kind."
"At the poetry gathering earlier, you saw Xie Mingfang scolding her half-sister and felt sorry for her. Now that Xie Mingfang is going to be punished, you feel sorry for her again, don't you?"
"Besides, we are not trying to harm her now. She wanted to do that. If Xie Mingfang really relies on her own abilities at this gathering and does not use her half-sister, I will definitely not do anything to her."
An Ziqiu lowered his head, not daring to look in Lu Xingwan's direction.
She was somewhat speechless after hearing what Lu Xingwan said.
Indeed, it seems that I shouldn't have such thoughts.
Then Xie Mingfang should indeed be punished.
At the very least, she had to seek justice for her half-sister.
I am indeed too kind-hearted. Princess Yong'an is right.
The two of them also wanted to take a stroll in the garden, and as they walked, they talked about the gathering.
As I continued walking forward, I suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the other end of the palace corridor.
Lu Xingwan raised her eyes and saw the prince walking in front with a handsome figure.
Looking at the prince's steps, he seemed to be a little flustered.
I have to say that the current crown prince really does have the aura of an emperor.
Today he was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe embroidered with gold patterns and a golden crown on his head. He looked as if he could not suppress his impatience.
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but frown.
Ever since she returned to the palace, in her eyes, the Crown Prince exuded royal majesty in every move he made.
Sometimes, when she gazed at the appearance of her brother the Crown Prince, she felt in a trance that he looked very much like her father, as if he had already ascended the throne and become emperor.
