Chapter 33: No Gaze

Zhuo Yu looked up, and coincidentally Mo Yunzhu also heard Ji Xingyun's shout and looked over.

Her sharp gaze met Zhuo Yu's eyes directly.

However, Mo Yunzhu immediately turned away, looked at Ji Xingyun, and smiled slightly to thank him for his affirmation.

But Zhuo Yu was stunned. The look in Mo Yunzhu's eyes just now reminded him of the thief's eyes that night, which were also so sharp.

Ji Xingyun was still excitedly repeating the couplet in his ear, saying yes over and over again.

Zhuo Yu kept staring at Mo Yunzhu.

Seeing that Mo Yunzhu had turned back and did not linger on his face, it seemed that he had made a mistake.

What's more, Mo Yunzhu was seriously injured before, but the thief was so agile and didn't look injured at all, so it definitely couldn't be hers.

Zhuo Yu was irritated. Could it be that the thief was not among these noble ladies? That would make it difficult to find him.

But this Mo Yunzhu is really different from others, because any woman who sees a face like this will be slightly dazed, but she didn't. Is it because there is the handsome Prince Lan next to her?

"Sister, I have figured out yours, what about yours?" Mo Yunzhu suddenly turned around and asked the dazed Mo Huaiqing.

Mo Huaiqing came back to his senses and saw the sarcasm in Mo Yunzhu's eyes, which made him feel even more ashamed.

She did prepare a second line, but no matter how she thought about it, it couldn't compare to Mo Yunzhu's line "The sky is connected to the water and the water is connected to the sky." How could she dare to say it out loud?

He pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "My younger sister is stupid, so naturally she can't compare to my elder sister and Miss Dai."

Seeing that she didn't dare to look at her after she finished speaking, Mo Huaiqing immediately looked at the prince, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth deepened.

"Write a poem. It will better show your level." The talented man shouted excitedly, and the women agreed one after another.

After all, the plasticity and difficulty of couplets cannot compare with real poetry, and real talented men and women must be first-class in poetry.

"Huaiqing, let's compare it to poetry." The prince nodded when he saw that the crowd was very lively.

In fact, he was stunned by Mo Yunzhu, but it might just happen that she responded well. However, poetry is different. Without the basic skills, it would definitely be a joke. He didn't believe that Mo Yunzhu could do it.

If she really could, then all his understanding of her over the years would be a joke.

Mo Huaiqing nodded and immediately said, "Everyone, let's compare it to a poem. What's the title?"

"Of course, the topic should be about love between men and women. It fits the occasion." Someone said, today is the day for the Crown Prince to choose a Crown Princess, so this topic is definitely the most suitable.

"Yes, yes, yes. Love between men and women has been the biggest topic since ancient times. There are many good poems about it, and everyone can join in the fun."

"Yes, maybe someone can leave behind a poem that will be remembered for eternity."

Everyone immediately started talking to each other excitedly, and the boys and girls were filled with youthful energy.

Mo Yunzhu looked at Jun Huolan, and Jun Huolan also looked at her.

"Will it?" Jun Huolan asked.

"What do you think?" Mo Yunzhu started to crack melon seeds.

"Ahem, should she?" Jun Huolan coughed. He really wasn't sure whether Mo Yunzhu could do it, but the couplet was indeed a good match and he was amazed by her.

"Can you?" Mo Yunzhu asked back.

Jun Huolan looked at the prince and shook his head, saying, "I know a little, but it's very poor. After all, I didn't go to a private school when I went to Chen State. I did hard labor every day."

When Mo Yunzhu saw his eyes dimming, she knew that he was thinking about the days of suffering, and she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

She simply reached out and covered the back of one of his hands and said, "Things will be better in the future. You will have endless blessings." She also smiled at him.

Crown Prince Jun Xianhe had been secretly glancing at Mo Yunzhu, and when he saw how nice and intimate she was to Jun Huolan, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.

Thinking about how he never touched Mo Yunzhu's hand when she was with him, but he supported Jun Huolan and touched her hand, could it be that he was not as good as Jun Huolan?

Although Jun Huolan might be better in terms of looks, he is a cripple and a sickly person. Is Mo Yunzhu really willing to be with him?

Seeing Jun Huolan also smiling at Mo Yunzhu, the jealousy in his heart was burning.

Mo Yunzhu, this bitch!

What kind of frame-up is this? This is not a frame-up at all. She just fell in love with Jun Huolan's face. How shameless!

"Then let's take the love between men and women as the theme. Everyone can compose poems freely. I believe that with so many experts, they will be able to tell the good from the bad." Mo Huaiqing saw that the prince kept looking at Mo Yunzhu, and he felt jealous in his heart, so he immediately raised his voice and announced.

"Who comes first?" someone shouted.

Gao Pianran, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, stood up, glanced at the Crown Prince, and said with a smile, "Then I'll start first."

After a pause, she smiled and said, "The willows are green and the river is calm, I hear my lover singing on the river. The sun rises in the east and it rains in the west, it is said that there is no sunshine but there is sunshine."

After a moment of silence, the audience suddenly burst into applause and cheers.

"She is indeed the daughter of the Grand Tutor. The artistic conception of this poem is really beautiful."

"Oh, who can surpass this poem now?" A woman complained that she had no chance to show off.

Crown Prince Jun Shanhe looked at Gao Pianran, nodded repeatedly, and smiled again. Although the daughter of the Grand Tutor was a little inferior to being the Crown Princess, she was more than qualified to be a concubine.

"Let me try it too." Dai Yaohe stood up, with a trace of uneasiness on her face, wondering if she could beat Gao Pianran.

After all, she came here today with the intention of becoming the Crown Princess.

Everyone suddenly became quiet and listened attentively.

Dai Yaohe cleared her throat slightly, looked at the prince, and spoke slowly.

"During the Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. The moon was above the treetops, and we made appointments after sunset. During the Lantern Festival this year, the moon and lights remain the same. But I miss last year's people, and my tears wet my sleeves." After saying this, she nodded slightly and dressed.

The scene was quiet for a while, and then some people started to applaud loudly.

"This song by Miss Dai is also very good, 'The moon is above the treetops, and we make an appointment after sunset', hahahaha, not bad, not bad."

Suddenly, the whole audience burst into applause, which made Dai Yaohe smile and she even glanced at Gao Pianran.

"Both young ladies are talented, really great, who else will come?" the young masters cheered.

Soon people continued to write poems, but none of them could surpass Gao Pianran and Dai Yaohe.

Seeing that it was almost done, Mo Huaiqing said with a smile, "I'll also sing a song to liven things up."

Everyone started to make a noise again. After all, in everyone's eyes, Mo Huaiqing was also a famous talented lady among the noble ladies.

Mo Huaiqing glanced at Mo Yunzhu with contempt, then smiled and composed a poem.

"The moon is dim in the sky, and the Milky Way and the autumn period are the same for eternity. Joy and sorrow are both present in this night year after year."

"Good!" Ji Xingyun shouted, and immediately said to Zhuo Yu who had returned to his side, "Miss Mo Er is also a master, this song is also very good!"

Everyone applauded immediately, and it really has a unique flavor when you savor it carefully.

Mo Huaiqing felt proud and looked at the prince. The prince smiled and nodded at her, as if affirming Mo Huaiqing's talent.

Gao Pianran's mouth corners twitched slightly, while Dai Yaohe raised her eyebrows. The two women felt that compared with them, it was about the same.

"Big sister, do you want to sing a song too?"

As expected, Mo Yunzhu had just whispered to Jun Huolan that Mo Huaiqing would definitely embarrass her, and now he was here.
