Lin Zhan looked at Si Xueyi, who looked so delicate and weak that she would fall down if the wind blew, and sneered. "Oh, what a coincidence, you asked the Crown Prince for directions."
After the words fell, Si Xueyi was stunned on the spot. It was obvious that she had not expected Lin Zan to be so hostile towards her.
At this time, a gentle voice sounded beside everyone. "Sister Xueyi has just entered the palace, so it is understandable that she is not familiar with the Imperial Garden."
It turned out to be Jun Beiyu. Thanks to Concubine Qin's unremitting efforts, he was finally released from house arrest.
At this moment, he was wearing a dark green long brocade robe, which matched the scenery in the imperial garden.
He is truly a man as beautiful as jade and a unique young man in the world.
As soon as Jun Anqing appeared, countless ladies from wealthy families were attracted to secretly look over here shyly.
Of course, Si Xueyi was no exception, her face was as red as a tomato.
Although Jun Beiyu and Si Xueyi had met each other before, Si Xueyi was, after all, a chess piece cultivated by the Qin family, and Jun Beiyu was a prince.
Therefore, in order to prevent Jun Beiyu from becoming obsessed with women since childhood, he did not have much interaction with her.
But Jun Beiyu's call of "Sister Xueyi" still made Si Xueyi's heart flutter.
But they didn't know that every glance between the two was seen by Lin Zhan.
Wow, these two are hooking up at such a young age, they are worthy of being the strongest white lotus CP in the original book.
One after another inexplicable words rang in Jun Beiqi's mind, what white lotus, what CP, he couldn't understand it at all.
A pair of curious and inquiring eyes fell directly on Lin Zan.
"Miss Si, didn't you come to the palace to be my playmate? Why don't I take you to visit the Imperial Garden? It's a good opportunity for us to develop a relationship."
Lin Zhan couldn't let this innocent couple hook up so quickly, so he volunteered to take Si Xueyi to visit the Imperial Garden.
Just when Jun Beiyu was about to speak, Lin Zhan smiled and said meaningfully, "It is said that boys and girls do not sit at the same table after the age of seven. If I remember correctly, Prince Heng and Miss Si are already over seven years old."
"If someone sees Prince Heng and Miss Si strolling in the Imperial Garden together, there will inevitably be gossip, which may be bad for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of both people changed at the same time.
An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on Jun Beiyu's face. He and Jun Beiqi were the two oldest princes in the palace. Jun Beiqi was fifteen years old, and he was thirteen years old.
As for Si Xueyi, although she is only ten years old, she has already revealed her stunning beauty, otherwise she would not have been adopted by the Qin family.
The two of them had already reached the point where men and women should be careful about each other, and after Lin Zan's reminder, they were instantly embarrassed.
Letting things take their own course, Lin Zan and Si Xueyi strolled hand in hand in the Imperial Garden.
When everyone was tired from strolling around, the emperor took the lead and sat down in a pavilion to rest. Looking at the spring scenery in the imperial garden, he instantly became interested.
So all the princes present were asked to show their talents and write a poem on the theme of flowers. Whoever did the best would be rewarded.
After he finished speaking, Jun Beiqi looked at Lin Zan with a mysterious look.
Lin Zhan gave him a proud and determined look. As long as he said that poem on the spot, he would amaze everyone and win the first place.
“Your Majesty might as well take out the rewards first to encourage them to write better poems.” Empress Zhang said teasingly, with a charming look on her face.
Although she had just given birth, her figure was still surprisingly good, with her slender waist showing off her charm. When the emperor saw her smile, he was completely bewitched and had no choice but to agree.
He directly took out the Seven Treasures Jade Ruyi which was placed in his imperial kitchen. The jade ruyi was inlaid with seven kinds of gems and was very valuable.
"Whoever among you can write a poem that satisfies me will be given this Seven Treasures Jade Ruyi as a reward."
The emperor was in a very good mood today and said with great pleasure.
Everyone looked at the Seven Treasures Jade Ruyi and immediately began to get ready.
Soon, Jun Beiyu stood up, smiling, and said modestly, "Father, I wrote a poem out of my heart, and I want to share it with you."
"Read it, read it." The emperor waved at him with a smile.
Jun Beiyu stepped forward, put his hands behind his back and looked at the orchid not far away, and said in a gloomy voice, "The flowers are graceful and the leaves are green. The fragrance can't be hidden in the valley when the wind blows. It's not for sewing, but for wearing as a pendant. Even if no one is around, it still smells good."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone showed surprise on their faces, and then nodded frequently. This poem fully encompassed the noble character of the orchid and the faint fragrance of the valley.
Moreover, this poem just fits Jun Beiyu's situation at the moment. Even if he is in an empty valley with no one to appreciate his fragrance, he still wants to emit his own fragrance. Admiring one's own fragrance is also a kind of state of mind.
The emperor sitting at the top couldn't help but nod his head, then looked around and said to the other princes, "Yu'er's poem is good, what about your poems?"
Naturally, the other princes were not willing to be outdone. They stood up and recited their own poems. However, after comparing them, Jun Beiyu's poetry had a higher artistic conception.
Even Si Xueyi, who was sitting next to Lin Zhan, said to her with a blushing face, "Prince Heng is indeed very talented, no one can compare to him."
"Miss Si, please be careful when you say this. This is the imperial palace, not some vegetable market. You can't speak carelessly. If you offend anyone, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Lin Zan rolled his eyes, causing Si Xueyi's face to stiffen. She sat there with a wry smile and remained silent.
No matter how stupid she was, Si Xueyi could sense that Lin Zan didn't like her.
At this moment, Lin Zan also felt that Si Xueyi was different from what was described in the book. Could it be because she was too young and had not grown up yet?
When she thought of this, Lin Zhan smiled. It would be best if they didn't grow up. She could cut off the buds of their evil directly.
Just as everyone was clamoring about their poems, Prince Jun Beiqi finally stood up.
This immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the emperor looked at Jun Beiqi with a smile on his face. "Is the prince's poem also ready?"
"Father, I have done it." Jun Beiqi bowed respectfully and then began to chant. "When autumn comes on September 8, my flower will bloom and all other flowers will die. The fragrance will penetrate Chang'an and the whole city will be covered with golden armor."
As soon as this poem came out, everyone gasped. The domineering power contained in this poem came to them, making everyone sigh in admiration.
Especially the majestic and heroic sentence "When my flower blooms, all other flowers will die" which made the emperor look surprised.
After being surprised, he stood up involuntarily, said "good" three times loudly, and looked at Jun Beiqi with excitement in his eyes. "As expected of a prince, the poems he wrote are unmatched."
