When Chen and Qin Yumo saw that Xu Qiu was invited by the Sixth Prince in this way, their expressions were quite complicated.

Qin Yumo couldn't help but look at his back and said, "Sixth Prince... Sixth Prince seems to have taken a fancy to my brother-in-law."

"Yes, this is extremely unreasonable." Chen also felt something was wrong.

Especially before, Qin Yumo told her that the Sixth Prince gave Xu Qiu the royal jade pendant so that he could enter the palace, which made her feel something was wrong.

Suddenly, Chen speculated: "Could it be that the Sixth Prince also has a crush on your brother-in-law?"

"Maybe..."

Qin Yumo said in disbelief.

However, she recalled the previous signs that the other party seemed to be able to hear her brother-in-law's thoughts, so the behavior of the Sixth Prince An Lan was not too difficult to understand.

At this time, Qin Yumo looked at Chen and said nervously, "She wouldn't capture my brother-in-law and make him her husband..."

"Stop." Chen stopped her before she finished speaking and said, "Her identity has not been exposed, so your brother-in-law is still safe."

Qin Yumo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But Chen was unsure at the moment. After all, the other party was a member of the royal family, especially the empress's favorite daughter, who was willing to let her disguise herself as a man to inherit the throne.

…

Right now.

Xu Qiu followed An Lan.

Accompany her to the second floor of Baihua Tower.

Many scholars and even minor officials in the capital whispered, "Isn't this the Sixth Prince An Lan? Who is the person next to him? How could he be so close to the Sixth Prince?"

"He seems to be the son-in-law of the Qin family."

"How can this son-in-law of the Qin family be so close to the Sixth Prince? He is just a small son-in-law."

"Are all of us young talents inferior to him?"

Everyone in Baihua Tower saw Xu Qiu and An Lan approaching, and they were filled with envy and jealousy.

Especially Xu Qiu's identity as a son-in-law is particularly conspicuous.

Those who can participate in the Hundred Flowers Poetry Festival are all scholars from all over the country, or even the top scorer in the imperial examination, or minor officials who have entered the court with real talents and knowledge.

They are all arrogant and proud people. Xu Qiu is just a poor scholar who failed to pass the exam. Now that he has married into the Qin family, his status is even humbler.

How can I be ranked alongside the Sixth Prince?

“I’m so jealous.”

"It's probably the most glorious thing that has ever happened to him."

The men talked in low voices.

The Sixth Prince An Lan simply said to Xu Qiu: "Don't pay attention to these people. They are all like this. They think that Daqian is wasting their talents just because they have a little knowledge."

"I understand." Xu Qiu nodded slightly without much reaction.

An Lan's attitude towards Xu Qiu made her feel more and more that he was an otherworldly expert.

Even when dealing with members of the royal family, he remained neither humble nor arrogant.

All capable people have this temperament.

An Lan didn't care.

However, she still tried to find a topic to talk about: "Brother Xu, who do you think has the potential to win tonight?"

"If that Ye Liangchen participates, then it will be him."

"Why?" An Lan was puzzled.

Xu Qiu was silent for a moment.

[Because he is a time traveler, he received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life. Anyone can recite a few poems. Moreover, there are enough poems with a history of 5,000 years for him to copy. Poems that can be passed down for a thousand years are enduring and even famous.]

[So, how could anyone here possibly beat him? This kind of poetry-writing to show off is almost always done by the male protagonist.]

He didn't consider himself as the protagonist, just a passer-by at most.

An Lan was slightly surprised when she heard his thoughts.

After a long silence, Xu Qiu replied, "I've read his first poem, it's pretty good."

"Really? He is indeed good, and his poems are not his own."

An Lan said something out of the blue.

Xu Qiu: ??? He paused and looked at An Lan in confusion.

An Lan then realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately covered his mouth.

Xu Qiu stared at An Lan strangely.

The Sixth Prince An Lan's heart couldn't help but pound.

Oh no. Oh no.

He didn't know that his inner voice could be heard by me. What if he was discovered and became wary of me in the future? It was the first time that An Lan felt so nervous.

Even Ye Liangchen couldn't shake her mood before, but now, being stared at by Xu Qiu, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

An Lan immediately changed the subject and said, "However, I heard that he is very good at making political orders. Whether it is to deal with floods or droughts, his policies are very reasonable. During the palace examination, his talents were appreciated by the Queen Mother."

“He does have talent.”

Xu Qiu simply answered perfunctorily.

An Lan wondered if Xu Qiu was really jealous of Ye Liangchen's abilities.

After all, during the imperial examination, when the examiners reviewed Ye Liangchen's papers, they all praised him for his ability to govern the country, and many of his policies were unheard of and unprecedented.

Moreover, after discussion, the examiners all agreed that it was feasible. Later, some officials conducted pilot trials and found that it was indeed feasible and the results were excellent.

Ye Liangchen was able to be promoted from a seventh-rank official to a sixth-rank official in a short period of time. The Censorate was just an experience for him.

His future is limitless.

The empress also asked her to win over Ye Liangchen, who would be of great use to her in the future.

At this moment, An Lan heard Xu Qiu's voice again.

[Of course this guy is very capable. To control floods and droughts, isn't it just building water conservancy projects, controlling soil erosion, and using management science to manage people? ]

[In his previous life on Earth, he received nine years of compulsory education. With his university education, he could indeed beat the ancients. In addition, history courses were almost throughout compulsory education.]

[He was fully aware of the policies of all dynasties, and had plenty of cases to follow. In particular, he knew about the establishment and development of the modern red regime. He just copied the poems and policies.]

Learning math, physics and chemistry well is really not a joke An Lan listened carefully.

I was completely dumbfounded.

Or unbelievable.

I didn’t expect that Ye Liangchen’s talent was due to this reason.

Because he has a past life.

"Indeed, if I hadn't met Xu Qiu, I would have thought that Ye Liangchen was a capable minister." An Lan thought to himself.

Then she looked up at Xu Qiu, wondering if he was also a capable official.

After all, Xu Qiu knew Ye Liangchen very well. Maybe they were both living in the same world at the same time. Moreover, Xu Qiu knew people's fate...

Just when An Lan was daydreaming.

Then Xu Qiu's voice of complaint was heard.

[Silly girl, Ye Liangchen has already secretly surrendered to the prime minister of the dynasty, which means he is the prime minister's man. His pledge to the prime minister is to eradicate the Qin family, expose your identity as a woman, and dethrone the empress.]

[And when your identity as a woman was later revealed, you still didn't know that it was Ye Liangchen who borrowed someone else's hand to do it, and you still threw yourself into his arms, thinking that he was the person you could entrust your life to. In fact, he was just borrowing you to cross the bridge, and in the end you were sold and counted the money for others]

An Lan: “???”

She stood there in a daze.

She remembered Xu Qiu had said in her heart before that Ye Liangchen was not a good person, and she herself had become Ye Liangchen's concubine!
