Chapter 186 Unbelievably Smooth



Everyone had already consciously reserved the front few seats.

At this time, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, along with the Third Prince of Nanli Kingdom and an elderly envoy from the Northern Kingdom, stepped forward, while the rest of the delegation found a seat nearby and sat down.

Qiao Jiaojiao had heard from her father a long time ago that this envoy from the Northern Kingdom was Che Hebi, the teacher of King Jin Yu, or the Grand Tutor as the northerners call him.

Today he took off his mink hat and fox scarf, his temples were slightly gray, and he looked like an ordinary, strong old man.

Baili Chengyou was still wearing a flamboyant red outfit, and the bells tied behind his hair were hung on his waistband, which jingled with every step he took.

He raised his chin slightly and looked around casually. Just as the Fourth Prince had just said, he was very casual and had no taboos.

Perhaps because of the presence of the two countries' delegations, Qiao Jiaojiao felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, unlike last time when everyone was chatting and greeting each other.

She calmly took out a small cookie and sat back to watch the show.

From the moment the Nanli Kingdom delegation entered, Meng Guxue lowered her head.

Under the stone table, she clasped her hands together, feeling very nervous.

Last time, also in this position, she was attracted by the second prince’s stunning appearance at first sight.

She had countless poems in her heart and was full of confidence waiting to amaze the Second Prince, but in the end, everything went wrong and she returned empty-handed.

Baili Chengyou is the only high-quality man in her dreams.

If she fails again today, she won’t know what to do in the future.

So she had to be cautious and present herself in front of Baili Chengyou in the best possible way to attract his attention...

Meng Guxue was daydreaming and hesitating when Xiaotao beside her suddenly tugged at her sleeve.

"Miss......"

Meng Guxue frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Miss, please look up..."

Meng Guxue didn't understand what was going on. When she raised her eyes, she saw a piece of red clothes.

red?

Her heart skipped a beat and she looked up hastily, only to see Baili Chengyou standing in front of her desk, staring at her intently.

"you......"

Meng Guxue was stunned.

Why is Baili Chengyou here?

She didn't hear the bell!

Wait! Didn't the way she looked up just now look stupid and ugly?

Finished!

Meng Guxue felt a vague sense of despair in her heart and wanted to cry.

She knew that nothing she did would go smoothly!

At this time, Baili Chengyou suddenly said: "Are you Miss Meng who is good at writing poetry?"

His voice was clear and his eyes moved around Meng Guxue's face many times without any scruples.

Meng Guxue stared at him in amazement and nodded instinctively, "I am."

The corners of Baili Chengyou's mouth slightly raised, and the smile reached his eyes.

"I admire Miss Meng's talent very much. I hope Miss Meng will teach me and let me see Miss Meng's elegance with my own eyes."

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

This time, he did not hold the bell around his waist, and the pleasant jingling sound slowly faded away with him.

Meng Guxue didn't react until Baili Chengyou sat down.

This...what is going on?

She looked around blankly, and saw that everyone's eyes were moving back and forth between her and Baili Chengyou.

At this moment, Meng Guxue suddenly realized that for the first time, she was treated as the "female protagonist". A handsome man took the initiative to approach her, and she became the center of everyone's attention.

Qiao Jiaojiao stared at the scene, her face full of thought.

[Just now, Silly Baitian said that Baili Chengyou is very interested in poetry...]

[So, did Baili Chengyou make such an abrupt move because he heard about Meng Guxue's talent, or... is there another deeper meaning? ]

The poetry reading was hosted again this time by the highly respected gentlemen Gu Qianshan and Zhao Wenzhu.

The two sat on the stage and talked about the theme that they had already discussed - "harmony".

Now that all the people from the Three Kingdoms are here, this theme is indeed very timely.

Because Baili Chengyou praised Meng Guxue just now, most people's attention was now on her.

Meng Guxue did not disappoint everyone. She quickly wrote a poem and handed it on the stage.

In view of the stupid mistake she made at the last poetry gathering, she had already learned about the history and geography of the Yong Dynasty in advance, and did not break any taboos this time.

She was even more careful and chose poems that were not written for the second prince.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw Mr. Gu Qianshan on the stage praising Meng Guxue, she couldn't help but nod.

[It is said that every failure makes one wiser, and Meng Guxue is indeed different now. ]

[It seems that we still can't let our guard down. After all, Meng Guxue can't stand still. Underestimating anyone can lead to fatal flaws! ]

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing nodded in agreement.

Before, my younger sister said that Meng Guxue was the "female protagonist" of this world, and they had been on guard for a long time.

But later, they slowly discovered that apart from the knowledge in her head, there was nothing commendable about Meng Guxue, either in terms of intelligence or scheming, so they gradually reduced their attention to her.

Looking at her today, she has improved a lot compared to a year ago.

As expected, we cannot underestimate any enemy...

Meng Guxue stood and listened to Mr. Gu Qianshan's evaluation, enjoying the looks of surprise, admiration or jealousy from everyone. She felt a sense of unreality in her heart.

It went so smoothly...

This was the first time everything went so smoothly for her since she traveled through time. Was there really no problem?

Will someone try to push her into the water again? Or will something else happen to make her look bad?

Meng Guxue sat down anxiously, feeling that he had been beaten by reality to the point of developing "paranoia".

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Meng Guxue's anxious look.

[Meng Guxue herself probably felt that today was incredibly smooth.]

[It seems that if I hadn't "interfered", Meng Guxue would have really followed the established trajectory and become the heroine of the cool novel. ]

The poetry reading in the morning was simply a personal show by Meng Guxue, as she sang the three best poems of the whole show.

Baili Chengyou did not hesitate to praise Meng Guxue and even clapped her hands once.

His enthusiastic attitude made everyone's eyes become subtle.

After all, it is said that the Third Prince had another purpose for coming to Yong Dynasty - marriage!

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the Third Prince, who was showing great eagerness, her face full of deep thought.

[This Baili Chengyou is quite interesting. Could he be...?]

At this time, Gu Qianshan announced that the first half of the poetry reading was over.

Meng Guxue stood up dizzy and wanted to find a place to get some fresh air.

Today is really too unreal, she needs to take it easy...

Upon seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly grabbed Qiao Diyi's collar with a serious look on her face.

[Second brother, second brother, we must follow Meng Guxue closely today. Who knows... we might discover something incredible! ]
