Chapter 036 It's really embarrassing for a man

In ancient times, people could compose a poem in seven steps. Today, Ruan Qinghuan pretended to be so. She walked slowly in the garden, from the winding path to the pavilion in the middle of the lake...

Seeing this, He'an smiled. He actually thought that Ruan Qinghuan's pretentious look was very interesting.

When he came back to He'an's side, he slowly spoke: "The sour plums splashed my teeth, and the green banana leaves spread on the window screen.

After a long sleep, I wake up with no thoughts, and watch the children catching willow flowers at leisure.

He'an paused for a moment as he was holding the pen, then he began to write quickly. Soon, the whole poem appeared on the paper, and the surroundings were silent.

Everyone had different expressions.

Isn't it said that the Prime Minister's wife is a domineering idiot?

I haven't recited poetry for several years, but reciting it suddenly brought back the feeling of doing homework.

The Crown Princess whispered, "I didn't expect Qing Huan to be so talented."

The prince nodded: "I am also surprised."

Ji Lingchuan didn't care about the situation outside the balcony at all. He was only thinking about how to escape from this place as quickly as possible, but Chu Li held his wrist tightly. If he used force, he would definitely pull her up with him.

With so many people present, it would have made too much noise and it would have been even harder to explain.

Qi Siwei looked unhappy and stared at Ruan Xiaoyue questioningly: "What's going on?"

Ruan Xiaoyue had not expected this to happen: "She really didn't know anything before. Could it be that the Prime Minister taught her after she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? The Prime Minister is busy with all kinds of affairs, how can he have the time to spare?"

Ruan Xiaoyue coaxed her, "Don't worry, Sister Qi. We will have a musical performance and a dance in a while. Sister, you have a charming figure. Which man can stand your dancing?"

Although Qi Siwei was unhappy, there was nothing she could do.

There are so many people here and even if she is angry, she dare not vent it in the Prince's Mansion.

Ruan Qinghuan glanced at Qi Siwei and found that she was indeed looking at her. Her face was full of smiles, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were full of calculations.

The poem written by He'an was hung in the most conspicuous place. The good poem and the good calligraphy immediately attracted many people to come and watch.

"Madam, you really make me look at you in a new light."

"Same here, your ability to attract so many women has impressed Qing Huan."

"What do you mean, Madam?" He An was confused, thinking she was talking about Wei Mingxi: "Mingxi is just our cousin, Madam, don't think too much."

"It's not just her..."

"Your Excellency Prime Minister." Qi Siwei pretended to pass by the two of them and bowed to He An.

Ruan Qinghuan left first, and He'an didn't care about Qi Siwei and just left, which attracted many people to look in her direction. Qi Siwei, who was left aside, felt a little embarrassed.

After all, she is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. How could the Prime Minister not give her any face at all?

"I am even less familiar with this Qi Siwei. I only know that she is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

As they were about to reach the balcony, Ruan Qinghuan suddenly turned around and said, "He'an, this is the prince's residence, can you be more restrained? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

He kept explaining to her, and Ruan Qinghuan felt that countless eyes were staring at her. He An was still chattering beside her, saying, "As the Prime Minister, doesn't he have to consider his face a little?"

All of this was seen by the people in the sundeck.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but chuckle, while the Crown Prince shook his head teasingly. Only Ji Lingchuan suddenly said, "Look, look, how has the Prime Minister been manipulated by the Madam?"

"It's said on the street that the Prime Minister is abstinent and cold, and doesn't like the daughter of Shang Jia. Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know who is looking down on whom." He curled his lips in disdain: "It's really embarrassing for a man."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lingchuan's head was lifted up. Chu Li held his ear with one hand and asked, "Does a man gain his dignity by bullying his wife?"

Ji Lingchuan's face turned red from holding back his anger, but his last bit of stubbornness forced him not to say a word: "Little ancestor, He'an's family affairs have nothing to do with us. You are my good sister, and I will protect you no matter what time it is."

That's more like it.

Chu Li was about to let go when he heard Ji Lingchuan continue, "When you get married in the future, if your husband dares to bully you, I will definitely support you. Just tell me how to deal with him."

“Hey hey hey…hiss…”

He An and Ruan Qinghuan returned to the stage and saw this scene. Ruan Qinghuan frowned.

The Crown Princess scolded, "That's enough. You two are the ones who love making trouble the most. Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

Chu Li let go of his ear upon hearing this, but still held on to his wrist and refused to let go, fearing that he would run away again this time.

He An and Ruan Qing Huan sat down, and the maid outside came to announce: "Your Highness, the next part is the music and dance. The first dance is by Miss Qi."

The few people had no interest in the activities of these young masters and ladies, so the prince sent someone to tell them to do as they pleased.

The Crown Princess looked into the garden and saw Qi Siwei wearing a bright red gauze dress. Although it had an inner lining, it was still a little transparent. "Is this how Lord Qi usually teaches his daughter?"

Only then did Ruan Qinghuan notice that Qi Siwei had changed her dress.

The red gauze clearly outlines her waist. Although it is a multi-layered skirt, the outer layer is made of cloth strips. Even when the wind blows, a hint of white can be faintly seen.

This kind of dress immediately attracted the attention of all the young men in the courtyard.

As for the women, some were whispering to each other, some had sarcastic expressions, and some were flatteringly praising Qi Xiaoyue's figure and makeup.

The sound of piano gradually rose, Qi Siwei stood in the central position made by everyone, and got into position..., her graceful and seductive eyes floated onto the stage without any disguise, only to see that He An didn't even look at her, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Ruan Qinghuan suddenly became curious about He'an's reaction when he saw this scene, but when she turned around, she found that he was looking at her.

The sound of the piano rose and fell, and Qi Siwei began to dance, causing the young men in the courtyard to exclaim in admiration.

The Crown Princess stood up and said, "I am tired. Qing Huan, Chu Li, would you like to watch for a while longer?"

Ruan Qinghuan also stood up: "The sun is a bit strong today, I also want to go back to the house to rest for a while."

The two stood up, and He An and the prince naturally followed them out, and then they heard Ji Lingchuan say, "You go ahead, I'll watch for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Li had already dragged him up and pulled him out of the sunshade...

She was dancing hard when she found that everyone on the sundeck was gone. Qi Siwei's mood plummeted. She thought that Ruan Qinghuan must be worried that He An would fall in love with her, so she deliberately pulled him away.

Such a good opportunity was wasted. Thinking that she couldn't even say a word to the Prime Minister, Qi Siwei felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Some older officials were drinking tea in a side hall. When they saw the prince and his companions coming back, they stood up and greeted them.

"No need to be so polite, everyone. It's not lunch time yet, let's just chat here."

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was always eloquent, was unusually quiet today. He secretly looked at He An and found that the other party did not even look at him. He knew that nothing could be accomplished on his daughter's side.
