Xiao Li retracted his gaze and glanced at him: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jingyi laughed: "Is it possible that my Royal Sister still wants to see me show off my literary talent? Although I am willing to show it off to my Royal Sister, I am afraid that I will lose too badly and bring shame upon my Royal Sister and me."
Tsk.
"You're still so young and so smooth-talking."
Xiao Jingyi sighed: "The emperor's sister is not much older than me."
Xiao Li: "One day older is still older, just listen to my instructions."
Xiao Jingyi saluted helplessly: "Yes, I will follow the instructions of the emperor sister."
After chatting, the two of them looked down side by side.
At this moment, the two of them were attracted by the same person, who was none other than the popular Third Master Wang.
Xiao Jingyi: "What does the Emperor think of Wang Shiqi?"
Xiao Li: "Not really."
Xiao Jingyi smiled: "I knew that the emperor would look down on him."
Sounds quite smug.
"My second marriage is already scheduled. When will you marry a princess?"
Xiao Jingyi shut up and stopped laughing.
"Princess." Wang Wanqing came over and stood obediently next to Xiao Li. "They have brought the poems here. Princess, would you like to appreciate them?"
The maid next to her was holding a tray with a golden peony inside and a wooden plaque with the words "Xuan Yang" engraved on it hanging below.
This golden peony is obviously unique, because the hands of those noble ladies just now were clearly fresh flowers.
It's obvious that this is an arrangement with ulterior motives.
This unique golden peony will definitely attract the most attention once it is taken out.
If Xiao Li had been given to another man, who knows what kind of rumors would arise.
If she wanted to avoid suspicion, the best way was to hand the peony to the young master of the Wang family.
Just consider it as giving face to the host.
But if this behavior is combined with Wang Shiqi's behavior, once it is distorted, people might think that she has fallen in love with Wang Shiqi, and this golden peony will probably become a token of love.
At this moment, she didn't know what the Wang family wanted to do, but she was very sure that as long as she dared to give it to Wang Shiqi, there would definitely be a trap behind it.
Xiao Li took the peony and asked Wang Wanqing, "I can do whatever I want with this golden peony, right?"
Wang Wanqing nodded: "Of course, it's up to the princess to decide."
Xiao Li picked up the peony and shook it. It was made of pure gold and was very valuable. The Wang family was really willing to spend the money. They thought that she, a princess, would be embarrassed to take their golden peony and would definitely return it to the Wang family in the end?
They really miscalculated then.
She looked at Xiao Jingyi: "You just said you were willing to show me your literary talent, so now write a poem to praise me."
Xiao Jingyi was stunned for a moment: "Royal sister, are you serious?"
Xiao Li shook the golden peony and said, "It's as real as gold."
Xiao Li held the golden peony, which contrasted with her face. However, even though the gold was so dazzling, it could not take away any of the brilliance of her beautiful appearance.
Xiao Jingyi pursed his lips, his eyes flashing slightly: "I can't write poetry, but I once heard a poem that suits the emperor sister best at this moment."
"The peony in the courtyard is wild and without character, the lotus in the pond is pure and sentimental. Only the peony is the true national beauty, and its bloom moves the whole capital."
Xiao Li laughed, this flattery was just perfect!
He raised his hand and threw it: "This is a reward for you."
Xiao Jingyi quickly caught the golden peony and at the same time held the nameplate tightly in his palm.
Wang Wanqing: “…” It seems that the third brother’s plan is going to fail.
She looked up at Xiao Li and felt that the princess seemed to know her third brother's plan. She didn't go along with it, nor did she expose it. She didn't look angry either, as if... she didn't care at all.
