149 Royal Affairs

Mrs. Xie certainly understood the reasoning. Not only did Feng Qingchen have to write the poem as punishment, but he also had to write it well. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the eldest son of the Wang family and to the poetry gathering as well.

If the Ninth Prince sent Feng Qingchen here because Feng Qingchen wanted to be in the spotlight, then later on she was forced to do so, forced by everyone to become the focus of the crowd.

More than 90% of the people present thought that Feng Qingchen was a fool and wanted to laugh at her, but they didn't expect that this fool girl would refresh everyone's perception of her time and time again.

The previous poem was just average and not outstanding, but compared with others, it was not bad. You could tell at a glance that a lot of effort had been put into it. But what about now?

Mrs. Xie was also very curious whether Feng Qingchen had prepared a second poem and what the second poem was like.

"Miss Feng, please."

Inside Huiwen Pavilion, there were papers and pens prepared. Feng Qingchen was the first to step in under the gaze of everyone.

Feng Qingchen glanced at Wang Jinling and said, "My Lord, would you be so kind as to write for me again?"

Once taking the initiative and once inviting each other, now we are even.

"That's what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it." Wang Jinling walked up the stairs gracefully, slowly and elegantly, with a graceful demeanor.

"Qingchen, please..." Wang Jinling picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, the ink was full but did not drip.

There were only two of them in the entire Huiwen Pavilion. The girl was as elegant as a peony, and the man was as handsome and tall as a pine or bamboo. For a moment, the room was filled with beauty and people dared not look closely.

Miss Wen felt a little regretful. Did she end up making things worse by adding fuel to Feng Qingchen's fame?

I wanted to speak several times, but I couldn't get a word in. It seemed that the two of them were immersed in their own world that day and didn't allow any third person to come in.

Baicao Garden, Baicao Garden, all of them have become grass today. They are willing to be green leaves for the eldest master, but they do not have the magnanimity to be like this for Feng Qingchen.

Having overwhelmed the other party in momentum, Feng Qingchen nodded with satisfaction and walked slowly in the room. No one urged him, but just stared at Feng Qingchen...'s clothes.

It was only then that they discovered that the hem of Feng Qingchen's clothes was inlaid with crystals. The crystals were in the shape of water droplets. Every time Feng Qingchen took a step, the water droplets seemed to slide off the clothes under the sunlight.

Before, when the women saw Feng Qingchen dressed so simply, they could self-righteously attribute this to Feng Qingchen being poor, but now?

They became even more jealous.

How can an abandoned woman be so wanton and step on their heads?

Several women have quietly approached Miss Wen and formed an alliance.

No need for a reason to hate someone!

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Feng Qingchen nodded to Wang Jinling, indicating that it was okay.

Wang Jinling smiled and nodded, his eyes becoming even brighter.

Feng Qingchen didn't want to steal his limelight, but she didn't know that he liked to see Feng Qingchen so dazzlingly.

Feng Qingchen closed his eyes and said word by word: "The vitality of the Nine Provinces depends on wind and thunder, it is a pity that all the horses are silent. I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents regardless of their background."

Just like before, when Feng Qingchen finished reading, Wang Jinling also put down his pen. The whole place was silent. Everyone couldn't believe that Feng Qingchen could really speak so eloquently. However, Wang Jinling looked at Feng Qingchen thoughtfully and said silently in his heart:

"I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents regardless of their background. Qingchen, how big is your heart? Your vision is not as good as that of ordinary women, even men. The Dongling Dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years, but the government is still controlled by the ministers who followed the emperor in the past. Unless the children of poor families rely on the powerful, they will never have a chance to make a name for themselves. Many people have seen this drawback, but... no one dares to speak out."

Feng Qingchen didn't feel embarrassed at all. Wang Jinling came to his senses and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha……"

"Bring some wine."

Wang Jinling spread out the paper again, dipped the pen in ink, and with great passion, he drank the whole pot of wine, picked up the pen and wrote:

Beside the broken bridge outside the post station, lonely and ownerless flowers bloom; it is already dusk and I am alone in sorrow, made worse by the wind and rain.

I have no intention of struggling for spring, I let all the flowers be jealous; they fall into the mud and turn into dust, but the fragrance remains the same.

"Let all the beauties be jealous. Qingchen, this is you, this is you." Wang Jinling recited aloud, arrogantly and wantonly.

There has been no shortage of stories about talented women and beautiful women since ancient times. How many celebrities and talented men have written poems for beautiful women in order to win their smiles. Wang Jinling is not the first, nor will she be the last, but a woman like Feng Qingchen is the first.

"Good words, good words, but today is a poetry gathering, so let's just talk about poetry."

"Yes, yes, yes, he must be punished. Today is a poetry gathering, and we should only talk about poetry, not composing lyrics. The young master broke the rules and should be punished. He should be punished." There are silly girls like Miss Wen in this world who create opportunities for others, and of course there are many smart people.

Seeing this situation, everyone rushed into Huiwen Pavilion and immediately called out for Wang Jinling and Yu Fengqingchen.

Miss Wen didn’t understand, but these young gentlemen knew that the greatest humiliation was not suppression but indifference.

No matter how outstanding Feng Qingchen is today, you should just not take her seriously.

Just like a beautiful concubine in the family, no matter how beautiful and charming she is, she is just a plaything. If you take her seriously, you will end up in trouble.

The crowd rushed in and quickly pushed Feng Qingchen to the periphery.

Feng Qingchen smiled without saying anything, and moved gracefully to make way for everyone.

"Qingchen, don't take it to heart." Wang Qi patted Feng Qingchen's shoulder and comforted her.

These people are really too much. They praise Feng Qingchen one second and completely ignore her the next.

This is only Feng Qingchen. Most people can't stand this kind of gap.

"You think too much. I'm very happy that they are not staring at me. Come...accompany me to visit the Baicao Garden." Feng Qingchen didn't care.

If these people really flattered her, she would feel guilty.

She doesn't seek to stand out, she just wants to get away.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, there are many places worth visiting in this Baicao Garden. Not only can you enjoy flowers, listen to music, play chess, and practice calligraphy and painting, but there are also venues for etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. Feng Qingchen, you're good at riding a horse, how about we go and have a race?"

Wang Qi was rubbing his hands in anticipation, wishing he could go for a ride right now.

"Horse racing? Forget it. By the way, what's the situation of the Sun family?" Feng Qingchen and Wang Qi quickly walked outside.

Huiwen Pavilion was bustling with activity, but the two had no intention of joining in the fun.

After all, it was obvious to all that Feng Qingchen was unpopular, and going there would only make him even more unpopular.

"Don't worry. With General Yuwen here, the Duke's Mansion won't dare to act recklessly. However, I heard that General Yuwen seemed to be in trouble and has been very busy recently." Wang Qi reminded kindly.

Feng Qingchen’s biggest backer now is Yuwen Yuanhua. If Yuwen Yuanhua falls, Feng Qingchen will have to find another one quickly, not only for herself but also for the Sun family.

"Trust him, nothing will happen. Yuwen Yuanhua is not a rough man who only knows how to fight. He is very smart." Feng Qingchen could not see the whole picture of some things, but he did not understand nothing. Even if he could not figure it out at the time, he could figure it out afterwards.

Yuwen Yuanhua treated her too well, not just because of Feng Qingchen. She had some self-awareness...

"It's good that you know. I'm afraid that you won't be prepared by then, or will plunge into his affairs headfirst. You should stay out of his affairs. The people above won't do anything to him, but it's different for you.

Although he is the only one in the Yuwen family, he is not a person without foundation. If something happens to him, more than 70% of the people in the army will give him face, and more than 30% will use their entire family to protect him. But you are different. You are truly a person without roots and foundation. If something really happens to you, no one will use their entire family to protect you. "

Even if Wang Jinling was in charge of the Wang family, he would not do his best to protect Feng Qingchen. Aristocratic families have deep roots and many branches, and there are too many things to consider.

Feng Qingchen smiled and said nothing.

She had been involved in some things long before she knew it, and it might not be so easy for her to get out of it now.

However, she took Wang Qi's words to heart.

If something happens, no one will protect her.

Wang Qi saw that Feng Qingchen was unhappy, and quickly changed the subject: "Come on, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to Baicao Garden. I heard that Prince Chunyu was hunting on another hill today."

The prince is honored by one character, the duke is honored by two characters. One character makes him a king, two characters make him inferior. This is the etiquette.

"Prince Chunyu, which one?" Feng Qingchen tried hard to think of this person in his head, but to no avail. Instead, he thought of the Ninth Prince's appearance here. Could it be that he was responding to the appointment with Prince Chunyu?

“Prince Chunyu is the emperor’s nephew. His father died very early, so he had been raised in the palace. He was only moved out not long ago. He has always been honored and favored, and is very much loved by the emperor.” When Wang Qi talked about Prince Chunyu, his face was obviously uncomfortable.

"It seems that the emperor only has this one nephew?" Feng Qingchen had heard a long time ago that when the emperor ascended to the throne, he killed all his brothers, even the infant Tenth Prince. The Ninth Prince was an exception, but she didn't expect there was also a Prince Chunyu.

Wang Qi pulled Feng Qingchen aside and said awkwardly, "Rumor has it that this Prince Chunyu is the emperor's son, born to the emperor and the princess of Lian."

"So that's how it is." Feng Qingchen nodded. In the royal family, strengthening the sister-in-law was not a rare thing.

"Don't spread rumors outside. This is just a rumor. After all, the emperor only left behind such a nephew, which is really suspicious. In the past, the Princess of Lian and the emperor did have some unclear things."

"Hey, Mr. Qi, why are you here? We've been looking for you for a long time. Come on, come on..." A young man in purple clothes saw Wang Qi and shouted loudly, insisting on pulling Wang Qi to go with them.

It was always nerve-wracking to gossip about the emperor in broad daylight. Both Wang Qi and Feng Qingchen were startled. Wang Qi was dragged away before he could come to his senses. He turned around and looked at Feng Qingchen, but Feng Qingchen waved at him and told him to have fun by himself. It was not a big deal for a woman like her to have the poem accompany her all the time.

Wang Qi looked at Feng Qingchen's aggressive look and thought that she would not suffer any loss, so he left with a smile.

Feng Qingchen stood with a group of people and felt a little urgent, so he thought about finding a toilet. As soon as he left, seven or eight young ladies, led by Miss Wen, glanced at each other, found an excuse to slip out, followed Feng Qingchen all the way, and blocked him in a blind corner of the toilet.

Well……

Feng Qingchen looked at the young lady in front of him with a stern expression, and a smile flashed across his face.

Blocking people in the toilet, when did this happen...
