The square became quiet, and Wu Linger walked in with more than ten people.
Then, this group of students from the Three Kingdoms saw the man following Wu Linger—
He was a young man, quite frail, wearing a plain blue robe, with a friendly face and a slightly childish look... Who was he?
Who is the young man who can be welcomed by Princess Taiping in person?
All the students looked puzzled, but Fan Xining's eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even more intense.
Princess Taiping led Fu Xiaoguan and his companions into the hall. She invited them to take a seat, then turned to the students and said, "This is Fu Xiaoguan!"
Without any other introduction, she just said this name.
But these students were suddenly shocked. He was Fu Xiaoguan?!
It's true that a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Wu Linger laughed in her heart. Just a name was enough to scare these so-called talented people into losing their color.
This is a young hero!
Fu Xiaoguan glanced at the young men. He sat there calmly, not rising to greet them, not even saying a word. Then he withdrew his gaze and said to Wu Linger, "Let's arrange dinner. Everyone is tired. Let's rest early after dinner."
"Okay... the food in the Yingbin Building isn't very good. I'll have someone order a table from the Banyue Building and have it delivered. I'll have your Xishan Tianchun wine, okay?"
What is going on?
Why was Princess Taiping so polite to that young official Fu?
Not only did she not kill Fu Xiaoguan, she also lured him to her personally. She also did not imprison Fu Xiaoguan, but treated him like a distinguished guest!
Is this the Wu Dynasty’s attitude towards the Yu Dynasty?
Princess Taiping treated Fu Xiaoguan so considerately as a princess, which undoubtedly sent a signal to these students: Emperor Wen seemed to still have a good relationship with Emperor Xuan!
Emperor Wen once went to the Jixia Academy to study, and he was classmates with Emperor Xuan of the Yu Dynasty. What Princess Taiping did at this moment was naturally done under the orders of Emperor Wen. So, facing the attack of the Yi Kingdom, would Emperor Wen send troops to help?
Yan Hanyu was shocked and frowned. This news had to be reported back to the country, and he would have to destroy any possible alliance between them. He still had to start with Fu Xiaoguan!
After seeing all this, Tuoba Yuan's face remained calm, but he had murderous intentions towards Fu Xiaoguan in his heart.
There was still only Fan Tianning. He sat at another table and watched with interest.
They hadn't had dinner yet, but Princess Taiping had just said that they wanted to order a table - this was easy to understand, as Fu Xiaoguan's group only had one table, so naturally there was no room for anyone else.
Wu Linger came back again and sat opposite Fu Xiaoguan. A maid brought her tea. She seemed to have forgotten the existence of the other three students. She stood up, took the teapot, and poured a cup for Yu Wenjun first.
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, the Ninth Princess. Ling'er would like to offer this cup of tea to apologize!"
"Princess Taiping is too polite. I'm sorry to bother you to come here in person. I feel bad for asking you to come."
The two princesses pretended to be hypocritical for a while, then drank a sip of tea from each other and got to know each other.
Wu Linger poured another cup of tea for Dong Shulan and served it respectfully, which made Dong Shulan very embarrassed and even more worried.
"I've heard of Sister Shulan's name for a long time. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed a fairy on earth. Ling'er would like to invite you to have a cup of tea first. When the wine comes, Ling'er will offer it to make amends."
Dong Shulan smiled faintly, "Your Highness, you are really embarrassing me."
"We are of similar age, so calling each other Your Highness doesn't sound familiar. You can just call me Ling'er, and I'll just call you Sister."
Dong Shulan's heart skipped a beat. It's not easy to be such a sister!
Yan Xiaolou also called her sister!
Wu Linger's heart... I'm afraid it's not for her sister. Could it be that she has fallen for Fu Xiaoguan?
I have to talk to Yu Wenjun about this tonight! Yu Wenjun is a bit thick-skinned and probably hasn't figured out what's going on!
The two of them took a sip of tea, and then Wu Linger poured a cup for Fu Xiaoguan.
"I first heard of you, sir, on the seventh day of the seventh month of last year, when Ling'er first read A Dream of Red Mansions and was astonished by its beauty. I heard of you again on the twentieth day of the eighth month of last year, when your poem 'Song of Water Melody' was ranked first among the thousand stone tablets..."
Wu Ling'er looked at Fu Xiaoguan with burning eyes, "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart. When Ling'er first read it, she couldn't help herself. She wondered what kind of person could write such a poem? She wondered when she could meet the author of this poem. Ling'er is half-martial, and her words are direct, but not abrupt, and come from the heart. Ling'er will first offer tea instead of wine to toast to your unparalleled talent!"
It's lonely and silent here.
Only the spring rain plays with the peach blossoms outside the window.
Yan Hanyu's brows were tightly knitted together, and Tuoba Yuan's eyes were as sharp as swords.
Even Fan Xining, who had always been indifferent, looked at Fu Xiaoguan with a serious expression.
Wu Linger's words were without any disguise, revealing her admiration clearly.
It sounds like Wu Linger has had a crush on Fu Xiaoguan for a long time. So, has this girl's heart blossomed for Fu Xiaoguan?
If so, why did Emperor Wen choose the top writer at the literary conference as the husband for Princess Taiping?
Could it be that Emperor Wen's original intention was to marry Princess Taiping to Fu Xiaoguan?
Then we must not let Fu Xiaoguan win the first place!
Everyone had their own thoughts. Fu Xiaoguan raised his teacup and spoke, "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. In fact, poetry and prose are merely ways to cultivate oneself, not the true path. Your Highness is young and does not yet understand the drawbacks of this. I believe that the person you admire should be a talented ruler or a general who can expand the territory."
Wu Linger asked doubtfully, "Why?"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, raised his cup and took a sip of tea with Wu Linger, "Because poetry can't be eaten as food."
Wu Linger was startled, then chuckled, "It doesn't matter, I'll support you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the matter became clear at once, as if the window had been completely opened, and a cold wind blew through the young men.
Wu Linger blushed and lowered her head. Dong Shulan and Yu Wenjun looked at each other but didn't know how to respond.
But all the students gasped - No way, since Emperor Wen was choosing a son-in-law through a literary competition, and you two were being so affectionate here, word would definitely get out, and then who would dare to take the top scholar and marry you?
The person who can marry you can never get your heart!
Yan Hanyu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, this is inappropriate. Master Fu is a man of seven feet tall, and he naturally has the responsibility to support his family. I think what Master Fu said just now is very reasonable. Poetry and prose can cultivate one's sentiments, but they can't make a living. As a princess, this husband must be a man who can govern the country with his literary talent or conquer the world with his martial arts skills."
Wu Linger was quite annoyed. She raised her head and looked at Yan Hanyu, "Who are you?"
Yan Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I am Yan Hanyu, the Sixth Prince of the Yi Kingdom."
"Oh..." Wu Ling'er suddenly smiled slyly, "What does it have to do with you if I raise him?"
