Chapter 22: No Help



"Brother, I remember that Wen Jingchi often went to Wenqu Tower, which is a favorite place for scholars and writers, regardless of gender. Anyone with talent can go to Wenqu Tower to show their talents. If you want to find him, you can go there..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Weiyue disappeared!

I shook my head helplessly and could only follow her.

Half an hour later, Chu Weiyue arrived at the bottom of Wenqu Tower.

This place is far away from the downtown area and is more than ten stories high. It stands out in the huge capital city. Because it is built halfway up the mountain, the top of the mountain is surrounded by thin fog.

When you reach the top floor, you’ll feel like you can pick the stars with your hands, as if you’ve walked into a fairyland on earth!

Several people were talking, both men and women, all of them had distinguished temperaments. Wenqu Tower was not only a place for scholars and writers to communicate, but also a special school. Many children of dignitaries were sent here to study.

There aren't many people here, so as soon as I walked through the entrance, I saw Wen Jingchi sitting next to me, drinking and chatting with a handsome man.

Chu Weiyue's eyes were dark and shiny, and she took the initiative to approach Wen Jingchi and greet him: "Your Majesty, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Wen Jingchi was stunned for a moment, his face instantly turned ugly: "An uneducated person came here and told me that we met by chance. Do you think I am stupid?"

Tsk tsk, it’s exposed again!

"Then I want to study, is that okay? You can teach me." Chu Weiyue suggested immediately.

"If you want to study, go to school or find a teacher. I can't help you!"

He refused without any hesitation.

The others could no longer hold back and started laughing. One person, still unsatisfied, stood up and wrote a poem to humiliate him.

A woman in a red silk dress just came out. Her face turned green after hearing the poem. She immediately walked to Chu Weiyue to protect her and snorted at everyone with disdain.

"Have you laughed enough? What's so funny? Is it funny that others say studying is funny? Or is it shameful for others to bravely pursue what they want? If anyone here has even a little bit of her courage, I would admire you!" Her voice was not loud, but every word she said was powerful.

Then, he turned around, held Chu Weiyue's hand, and hooked his lips at her sincerely.

"I recognize you, you are Chu Weiyue. Weiyue, if you really want to study, I can teach you. As women, we must know how to respect ourselves and love ourselves, and not waste our love on some unworthy men. Those men are cold-blooded and selfish, and take pleasure in abusing other people's feelings. They are not worth it at all..."

She had heard of Chu Weiyue's story, and felt even more sorry for her after meeting her in person.

If Wen Jingchi wanted to reject a woman, he had many ways to reject her completely, but he never did it absolutely. Isn't this just to see how others make a fool of themselves and collapse?

So at this moment, looking at Chu Weiyue's persistence and stubbornness, her eyes were full of pity.

Chu Weiyue was stunned for a moment and recognized her. He had met her by chance at the banquet last time. He remembered her at first sight because she was so beautiful. She was Song Qiuchang, the daughter of the Shangshu.

After arriving here, everyone was laughing at the original owner's stupid and infatuated behavior. He was also the first person to speak up for the original owner.

In Chu Weiyue's view, the original owner was also fighting for love, and she didn't think she was stupid at all.

Now I finally found someone who shares the same ideals as me, and she’s such a beautiful girl, I’m so happy.

Chu Weiyue was also attracted by beautiful things. Her eyes immediately lit up and she began to become infatuated with them.

[Wow! My sister is so beautiful, gentle and pretty. She is so charming. I love her!]

Song Qiuchang held Chu Weiyue's hand tightly, and suddenly exerted force, her brows furrowed tightly, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

But looking at Chu Weiyue's dark and shining eyes, he could be sure that he had not heard it wrong.

She is also a woman, how could she say such words to herself?

Suddenly, I became even more curious about her. What kind of extraordinary woman is she?

If Song Qiuchang was an ordinary woman, Wen Jingchi would have been so angry that he would have sentenced her to death.

But Song Qiuchang's status was extraordinary, and she was somewhat related to him, so he had to give her some face.

He glared at Song Qiuchang coldly and shouted, "It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs. I advise you to stay away from her, otherwise you will end up being laughed at by her. Even if your father is very capable, he can't protect your status and dignity!"

The meaning behind his words couldn't be clearer. Anyone who gets close to Chu Weiyue will lose everything and become a complete joke.

Without even looking at Chu Weiyue, he walked away angrily.

Chu Weiyue wanted to chase after him, but when he reached the stairs, Bao pushed him away with force. He fell to the ground and almost rolled down the stairs.

This time, the others did not dare to laugh so obviously, but they still regarded Chu Weiyue as an outsider.

Song Qiuchang walked over quickly and helped her up.

Looking at Chu Weiyue's sad face, she felt lonely.

Thinking that she was like this because her proposal was rejected, he could only pat her shoulder gently to comfort her: "Okay, don't be upset. There are many men in this world. Not having this one doesn't mean there are no better ones. We women must be independent. Only when we are independent can we get respect from others..."

Her ideas were very advanced, completely different from those of other women here. After hearing what she said, Chu Weiyue admired her even more.

He helped Chu Weiyue up from the ground, brushed the dust off her body, and took her away from Wenqu Tower.

The streets are bustling with lights and decorations, and there are many lanterns.

Chu Weiyue was a little puzzled. After asking around, she found out that tonight was the Qiqiao Festival.

It is getting late now, and the streets will be bustling in half an hour.

Chu Weiyue immediately took Song Qiuchang's arm and said, "Sister, why don't we go to the night market together? It should be very lively today."

"Of course, let's go eat something first. I know a restaurant that serves delicious food. I'll treat you and treat you well."

Holding Chu Weiyue's hand, he walked to Tianxiang Tower and found a seat to sit down.

Wen Jingchi happened to be somewhere on the second floor and saw Chu Weiyue's head sticking out. The person sitting next to her was actually Song Qiuchang.

Seeing these two women sitting together made him feel a little depressed, and he felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

Originally, Wen Jingchi was going back to the palace, but he happened to meet his doctor friend Shen Mubai, so the two of them came to this restaurant to have a simple meal.

Seeing Wen Jingchi distracted, Shen Mubai waved his hand gently in front of his eyes.

"Jingchi, what's wrong with you? You didn't seem to hear me. I just asked you, can we go to the night market later? It's very lively today, which is a good opportunity for you to understand the people's sentiments."

Recently, the Emperor has been testing several princes, asking them to answer how to become a wise ruler. He has been worrying about how to answer. Now he can take this opportunity to understand what the people are and what the people's sentiments are.

"Of course."

Shen Mubai smiled calmly and chatted with Bao while eating.

After dinner, they went to the busiest East Market, and after Chu Weiyue and Song Qiuchang visited the West Market, they went to the East Market for a stroll.
