Ni Yueshan said indifferently, "If I leave, shouldn't you, a servant girl, also leave?"
The expression on Ni Yueshuang's face froze, and she finally snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Soon, Jing Yuchen appeared in everyone's sight, and many women exclaimed: "Wow, so handsome..."
Ni Yueshan remembered that Ren Mei also said Jing Yuchen was good-looking. Could it be that there was something wrong with her taste?
Jing Yuchen always has a cynical attitude towards everything he does, and Ni Yueshan has no idea what his shining charm is.
"Thank you all for coming today. At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Miss Ni's poetic talent was evident to all. This poetry gathering is primarily for Miss Ni, and I'm especially looking forward to her performance today."
Jing Yuchen scanned the crowd and then his eyes fell on Ni Yueshan. "Miss Ni, why are you sitting here? Why don't you sit forward?"
Ni Yueshan came here just to make up the numbers, but Jing Yuchen's remarks made it impossible for her to keep a low profile!
Ni Yueshan smiled and sat in his seat without moving. "Fourth Prince, why do you have to flatter me? Sit forward. I'm afraid I'm not worthy enough!"
"You have great poetic talent, you deserve it!"
Ni Yueshan chuckled, "What? These seats are assigned based on poetic talent? Then... I'm afraid many of you here aren't worthy enough to even enter the main gate, right?"
What Ni Yueshan said is so embarrassing!
Ni Yueshuang quickly spoke up: "Everyone misunderstood, misunderstood, that's not what I meant. I was saying that when we get together, we are all friends, regardless of our poetic talent!"
"The Second Miss is polite and knows how to talk. How can there be such a big difference between them when they are both from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Some people started talking and were very dissatisfied with Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with his words.
Jing Yuchen chuckled: "Miss Ni is really quick-witted. If Miss Ni doesn't want to sit over here, then forget it."
"Second Prince, if someone doesn't know what's good for them, why bother giving them face? Since we don't know the topic of the poem today, why not let Miss Ni write an opening poem and see what Miss Ni's talent is to be so proud!"
There were always women at the banquet who spoke in a sarcastic tone and were full of sarcasm and contempt for Ni Yueshan.
"You all really misunderstood my elder sister. She just speaks her mind freely. She doesn't mean to look down on you."
Ni Yueshuang was busy helping Ni Yueshan explain, but this just made everyone present talk even more.
"Since she looks down on us in her heart, if she hides it in her heart, it's even more hateful. I didn't expect the Xiangfu to raise such a daughter. No wonder she was divorced..."
"That's right, General Zou deserves to divorce her."
There were all kinds of discussions without any reservation. Those who were thin-skinned would definitely get angry and leave in anger. However, Ni Yueshan seemed not to hear them, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Ahem, today is a poetry gathering, so naturally we should make friends through poetry. Let's not discuss other topics!"
Jing Yuchen winked at the servant next to him, and someone slowly opened the three scrolls on which the three poem titles had already been written.
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Zou Yangyao looked at Ni Yueshan. Shy? Angry? No, Ni Yueshan didn't show any shyness or anger at all.
She is definitely a fake!
As for where the real Ni Yueshan went, he still needs to investigate carefully!
Yang Wanyan noticed Zou Yangyao staring at Ni Yueshan, and she was very dissatisfied. "General, the Second Prince caught you behaving inappropriately towards Sister Ni today. Why don't you restrain yourself?"
It's not good to stare at someone like this, right?
Zou Yangyao came back to his senses, his lips curled up slightly, he picked up the wine that Yang Wanyan had poured for him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Spring, summer, and autumn?"
Someone read out the title of today's poem.
“Why is winter missing?”
Jing Yuchen looked at the people present and explained, "This autumn is about to end and winter is coming. However, since winter hasn't arrived yet, let's wait until winter arrives and hold a poetry gathering to gather together again and write poems about winter!"
Everyone present understood Jing Yuchen's intention.
Ni Yueshuang curled her lips and smiled: "Second Prince, will you still invite my sister to the next poetry gathering?"
Many people despised Ni Yueshan for her ugly appearance and the fact that she was divorced. It was even more unacceptable for Jing Yuchen to hold a poetry reading just for Ni Yueshan.
Jealousy welled up, and someone said sarcastically, "That depends on your sister. Can she also compose poetry with the snap of her fingers this time?"
Ni Yueshuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course my sister can do it!"
Ni Yueshuang looked at Ni Yueshan and smiled gently: "Sister, let everyone see what it means to be unmatched!"
Ni Yueshuang seemed to be proud of Ni Yueshan, but when others heard her words, they felt that Ni Yueshan was usually proud and arrogant.
No one can match him? Even Ni Yueshan is worthy?
Even if he has some ability, being so proud will inevitably make people feel disgusted.
"Since you like speaking for me so much, why don't you write this poem for me too?"
Ni Yueshan's eyes fell coldly on Ni Yueshuang. Ni Yueshuang's smile froze and she said awkwardly, "Sister, I'm just cheering you up. I believe in you."
"Then I also believe in you. You will surely amaze everyone with your poetry. My dear sister, can you give us a start?"
Ni Yueshuang showed an embarrassment on her face: "How can this be possible? It's not good for the younger sister to steal the limelight from the older sister."
"If you can steal the spotlight, that's your true talent. But if you're cheering me up while causing others to be dissatisfied with me, and you can't even write a single poem, I think it's best for you to just shut up!"
