Chu Ningyang has faded from the sight of major portals in the capital for a long time. For this poetry meeting, she wanted to invite everyone in the capital to her home.
The hatred between Jing Yuchen and Chu Ningyang can be said to be caused by jealousy, which then turned into hatred.
Even if Ni Yueshan feels guilty towards her, she feels more hatred towards her, right?
Ni Yueshan was also among the invited...
Outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion, a carriage stopped. Ni Yueshan was wearing an apricot-yellow long skirt and a golden hairpin on her head. She had delicate features and meticulous makeup. Her long, jet-black hair was tied up high, and her skin looked even whiter than snow.
She walked over slowly with small steps. Not long after getting off the carriage, many eyes fell on her.
"Apricot yellow dress? Who is this person...the Crown Princess?"
Throughout the dynasty, only members of the royal family could wear yellow, as it was a symbol of status.
Ni Yueshan was wearing an apricot-yellow dress at this time. Was she doing this intentionally to show off her status?
After all, not everyone can marry so well the second time!
Today, Chu Ningyang dressed up carefully and was waiting in her mansion for the invited guests to arrive. When she saw Ni Yueshan coming among the crowd, her calm smile was still a little stiff.
I haven't seen Chu Ningyang for a long time. I am a little surprised when I see her now. She is quite pretty, but the emotional trauma she suffered during this period has made her a lot more withdrawn.
She often hides in her room out of self-abasement and never sees anyone all day. Even if she dresses up carefully, the bruises under her eyes are particularly obvious.
Ni Yueshan narrowed her eyes slightly and walked towards her. Chu Ningyang stood up from his seat and saluted, looking generous and decent.
Ni Yueshan only looked at her calmly and extended his hand to support her: "Get up, everyone, get up together. Today is the poetry gathering hosted by the princess. Logically, everyone should focus on the princess!"
Instead of flattering her as soon as you come?
Everyone knows that the concubine of the Prince's Mansion was personally selected by Ni Yueshan. Choosing a concubine means that Ni Yueshan has absolute right of choice. As long as they have a good relationship with Ni Yueshan, Ni Yueshan can let them enter the Prince's Mansion.
They may not be favored, but when Jing Yuchen ascends the throne as emperor in the future, they will be concubines!
The royal family is not comparable to the official family! So how can we not flatter and center around Ni Yueshan?
"Crown Princess, you are of noble status, and today is a poetry gathering. Who wouldn't admire your poetic talent? It's understandable that everyone wants to get acquainted with you, Crown Princess!"
Although Chu Ningyang's hair has grown back after being burned with a monk's scar, it is still not long enough, and he has to rely on hair accessories to hold up his bun.
"You're right, but everyone knows that you, Chu Ningyang, as a princess, like to whip horses and lecture people on the streets. How come you've been missing for so long? Have you been studying poetry?"
Ni Yueshan spoke sharply, not showing any courtesy at all because she was a princess and this was the Prince's Mansion. When Chu Ningyang attacked her, how could she forgive her just for a few monk's scars?
Chu Ningyang laughed. "Crown Princess, to be honest, I'm holding a poetry reading because I want you to come! You're our Xianchang Crown Princess, incredibly talented, and I want you to join me. Perhaps the best way to attract you is to hold a poetry reading, right?"
Does this sound a bit sarcastic?
"Inviting me on purpose? Is this a Hongmen Banquet or a reconciliation banquet?"
As soon as Ni Yueshan and Chu Ningyang met, they started arguing with each other. The smell of gunpowder spread all around. Those who didn't know that they were enemies would probably know it clearly after today.
Under everyone's embarrassed gaze, Chu Ningyang stepped forward and tried to grab Ni Yueshan's hand, but Ni Yueshan dodged sideways without giving him any face.
Chu Ningyang didn't care and said helplessly: "Crown Princess, I liked the Crown Prince before, but the Emperor has already removed me from the list of royal daughters-in-law, so I don't have any wishful thinking anymore, please rest assured!"
Ni Yueshan raised a smile and looked at her as if he was looking at a clown.
After everyone present took their seats, the poetry reading began.
First, tea and cakes were served, and then the topic of poetry was brought out.
Someone at the scene took the initiative to speak up, "Remember back then, at the Princess's residence, the Crown Princess could compose a poem within a few steps. This pre-selected topic is no exception?"
"Princess, do you prefer to compose poems based on fixed themes, or do you prefer to improvise on the spot?"
Ni Yueshan looked indifferent and responded, "I don't like any of them. I just came here to eat for free!"
Everyone present was amused by Ni Yueshan's statement. What kind of food can't the Prince's Mansion afford? Why is he eating here for free?
After Ni Yueshan sat down, his expression was indifferent, and it was obvious that he had no intention of really showing off his skills, while the others present were eager to try.
It's not just for the sake of bringing glory to themselves. If Ni Yueshan discovers their literary talent and introduces them to the Prince's Mansion, wouldn't that be a step to success?
The poetry reading began, and the topics that had been decided in advance were also announced. Everyone present turned their heads and looked at them, all of them were surprised.
"A poem based on the perspective of a widow longing for her husband to return home? Princess, your subject matter is truly..."
"This princess came up with this after a lot of brainstorming. Haven't you all already exhausted all the themes in your poems?"
This sentence silenced everyone present. Someone then started to ask, "Princess, you've been staying in the mansion all this time and haven't gone anywhere. Now, do you think you have great poetic talent? Why don't you start first?"
They had just seen that there was an irreconcilable conflict between Ni Yueshan and Chu Ningyang, so to become an enemy of Chu Ningyang would mean getting closer to Ni Yueshan.
