"Graceful as a startled swan, graceful as a flying dragon. Brilliant as autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing as spring pines. Like a light cloud covering the moon, drifting like snowflakes blown by a gentle wind..."
Su Qiqi directly brought up "The Goddess of Luo River".
Zhao Huimin was stunned, and everyone in the hall looked at Su Qiqi with admiration and respect.
"Oh my god, our Princess Chaoyang is only seven years old! At seven years old, she can already come up with such a masterpiece! She is truly the God of Literature descended to earth!"
"Princess Huimin is much older than our Princess Chaoyang, but her poems are not as good as ours."
"In my opinion, Princess Huimin just wanted to use the excuse of asking Princess Chaoyang for advice to highlight her talent, but Princess Chaoyang is so powerful that she refused to let her succeed!"
"What a gentle and talented woman! Humph! She's clearly a hypocritical and despicable villain!"
Everyone in the hall was talking quietly, their voices were very low, but Zhao Huimin still heard some of it.
She forced a smile and continued unwillingly, "Princess Chaoyang is truly amazing. Then Min'er, say a few more words. Your temperament is as beautiful as an orchid..."
"Talent is more fragrant than fragrance."
Su Qiqi deliberately interrupted Zhao Huimin's words.
[Come on, come on, you recite a line and I'll take over, who's afraid of who?]
Zhao Huimin gritted her teeth and said, "A lotus blooms in clear water..."
Su Qiqi immediately shouted, "Natural and unadorned!"
"A smile turning back brings out all the charm..."
"The beauties in the palace pale in comparison!"
"Two peach-like faces emerge from the mirror..."
"A glance of spring water makes people feel cold!"
…
After several rounds, Zhao Huimin couldn't find a suitable poem.
But Su Qiqi looked relaxed and even drank leisurely.
Zhao Huimin glared at Su Qiqi hatefully:
Damn it! This Princess Chaoyang also traveled through time!
Every time she finished her sentence, Princess Chaoyang would follow up with her own. It was like she was clearly arguing with her!
"Thank you~"
Su Qiqi smiled brightly and spoke cheerfully, as if she had just played an interesting game.
Zhao Huimin clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could rush over and strangle Su Qiqi to death.
But in this situation, she didn't dare to act recklessly, and she had to maintain her dignity.
So, she tried to calm herself down and adjust her state of mind, then bowed slightly to Su Qiqi. "Princess Chaoyang is incredibly gifted, truly enviable. Min'er's talents are average, but I hope I can work harder and be more diligent, hoping to make up for my shortcomings with hard work."
These words were full of the flavor of tea, as if Su Qiqi had taken advantage of her unfairly.
Su Qiqi didn't get angry but laughed: "The early bird catches the worm. It's good that my sister has this awareness."
Zhao Huimin's face turned even worse when she heard this. She opened her mouth, wanting to refute.
Su Qiqi spoke first, "So, you should go back and read your books early, and stop causing trouble outside. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if you lose miserably next time. After all, you are a princess of a country, so don't cry at every turn."
"You!" Zhao Huimin was furious.
Su Qiqi realized it belatedly and covered her mouth exaggeratedly, looking at the emperor: "Ah, did I say something wrong?"
The emperor couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright, it's time to put an end to your little quarrel."
He looked up and winked at Zhao Xu beside him.
Zhao Xu understood and waved his hand.
Suddenly, string music sounded, and dancers in exquisite gauze skirts danced gracefully with lotus steps, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhao Huimin could only return to her seat awkwardly.
The envoy from Fufeng State looked at Zhao Huimin and felt extremely anxious.
Everyone in the hall was toasting each other and chatting.
Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Huimin slipped out quietly while no one was paying attention.
Soon, a little palace maid came to Su Qiqi's side with a hunched back and whispered, "Princess, Princess Huimin wants to see you. She said she has something important to discuss."
"Princess, be careful of a trap." Hongye warned.
Su Qiqi smiled and said, "This is the Tianqi Palace, it's my home. How can the owner be afraid of outsiders?
As she spoke, she stood up and looked at the little palace maid: "Lead the way."
"I'll accompany you." Hongye was still very vigilant.
"Qiqi!" Lu Hongxuan walked over quickly and asked worriedly, "Where are you going?"
Su Qiqi's eyes turned, and she gave Lu Hongxuan a bright smile: "Well, people have three urgent matters. My royal brother, please wait a moment. Qiqi will be back soon."
After saying that, she grabbed the palace maid with one hand and Hongye with the other and ran out of the palace quickly.
Lu Hongxuan frowned and ordered the eunuch beside him, "Send someone to follow secretly and don't let anyone hurt the princess."
"Yes." The young eunuch responded and immediately went to make arrangements.
//
The little palace maid brought Su Qiqi to the garden, where Zhao Huimin had been waiting for a long time.
Zhao Huimin looked at Hongye behind Su Qiqi and said, "Please step aside for a moment."
Hongye remained unmoved, just looked at Su Qiqi, waiting for Su Qiqi's order.
Su Qiqi said, "Princess Huimin probably wants to tell me something in private. You guys should leave first."
"……yes."
Hongye then walked back with the palace maid.
Seeing that no outsiders were around, Zhao Huimin couldn't wait to ask, "Princess Chaoyang, you've also traveled through time, right? We're both time travelers, so why do you keep targeting me?"
"Targeting?" Su Qiqi sneered, "It was you who suggested playing with a Rubik's Cube and competing with poetry. If you hadn't been so aggressive, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you."
"you!"
Zhao Huimin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
But when she thought about her identity, situation and plans, she had to endure and bow her head.
"To be honest, it was all a misunderstanding just now. Su Qiqi, we are both time travelers, so we should help each other and work together. Let's cooperate, and I won't treat you unfairly after the success." Zhao Huimin said in a kind voice.
