Chapter 137 Admiration Meeting



No matter how stupid Lin Zhan was, she realized that the golden sword that Jun Anqing gave her this morning had a profound meaning, so she quietly poked Tian Ningxi's hand.

"Why is it that every time I fight a poem, the other side will send me a golden sword? What does this golden sword mean?"

Tian Ningxi looked at Lin Zhan in disbelief, her puffy cheeks trembling. "No way, why don't you know anything? Have you never asked about the blind date garden at Prince Su's mansion?"

"Never." Lin Zhan also answered very seriously, and Tian Ningxi nodded in understanding. "I see."

"This golden sword is a token of admiration. If the gentleman opposite is very satisfied with the poem the girl has said, he will give her a golden arrow, and then they can meet with the golden sword."

"Of course, women also have the opportunity to choose. If a woman is very satisfied with the gentleman opposite, she can also give him her personal scent bag as a gift."

Tian Ningxi tried her best to explain. Lin Zhan gritted his teeth, took off the golden sword from his waist and stuffed it into his sleeve. It turned out that this was what Jun Anqing meant.

Lin Zan had no interest in this so-called blind date. She just wanted to finish what she had to do and leave.

As for emotional entanglements, they were never part of her plans.

While the man and woman in the pavilion were still reciting poems to each other, Liu Qiuchan frowned slightly, seeming to have noticed Lin Zan's lack of enthusiasm.

Soon it was the women's turn to come up with the first line, and when it was the men's turn to respond with the second line, each woman was eager to try, wanting to outsmart the man in talent.

The first person to ask the question was still Tang Xiu. She walked forward gracefully, allowing the man opposite to see only a figure, which caused a stir in him.

"I'm sorry to show you my ugliness." Tang Xiuwen said softly, and then thought for a moment, and spoke in a voice as clear as a spring. "Qingchuan is a long place, and the carriage and horse go leisurely."

As soon as he finished speaking, those ladies from wealthy families who wanted to strive for the best couldn't help but gasp. Tang Xiu, with her own strength, raised the level of this poetry competition a lot.

Everyone knew that Tang Xiu was a rare talented woman in the capital, but no one expected that she could come up with such a stunning sentence.

Moreover, based on the fact that there was no response from the opposite pavilion for a long time, one can imagine how difficult it was to match the previous line of the poem by Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu stood there without any hurry, with a perfect smile on his face all the time, even though the person on the other side couldn't see it.

However, such a serious scene had no effect on Lin Zan and Tian Ningxi. They ate cakes and dried fruits and chatted from time to time, and did not look nervous at all.

At this moment, the palace maid beside Liu Qiuchan came quietly behind Lin Zhan.

"Miss Lin, please don't eat anymore. The Queen is watching you." The palace maid stood behind Lin Zan and reminded her.

Lin Zan was stunned and looked towards the pavilion in the distance, and found that Liu Qiuchan was looking at her helplessly.

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, sister." Lin Zan showed a bright smile, but still looked indifferent.

The reason why Liu Qiuchan brought Lin Zan to this blind date in the garden is self-evident, but Lin Zan himself is not serious about it.

After waiting for a cup of tea, there seemed to be some movement on the opposite side. Lin Zhan saw a bright yellow corner of clothes flash by and was stunned.

"Your Highness, it's Your Highness who has arrived." Someone seemed to have seen the owner of the corner of the clothes and immediately said excitedly.

Lin Zan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Jun Beiqi would also be interested in such a blind date party. It was really unexpected.

Soon, Jun Beiqi's familiar voice also rang out. "I am here to respond to Miss Tang's poem."

"Your Highness, please." Tang Xiu's face was slightly excited, but she quickly calmed down and spoke in a reserved manner.

After all, people haven't seen it yet, but getting so excited just by hearing the sound would be ridiculous in the eyes of others.

"The flowing water seems to have intention, and the birds return together at dusk." After Jun Beiqi's voice fell, everyone was silent for a moment.

These two lines of poetry by Jun Beiqi are so neat and natural, and they express emotions through scenery. Just a few words complement the indifferent feelings expressed by Tang Xiu.

The man on the other side cheered, and Tang Xiu bowed to Yingying across the pond. "Tang Xiu admits defeat."

Then, under the gaze of many ladies from wealthy families, Tang Xiu blushed slightly, took out a sachet from her waist, placed it on the maid's tray and passed it over.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhan felt unhappy and snorted coldly, "It smells so sour and not interesting at all."

"I don't think it's boring. It's just that you have no talent at all. You can't even compose a poem, so you're just talking nonsense here." Tang Yu happened to hear what Lin Zan said and responded directly.

Lin Zhan was in a bad mood at the moment, and Tang Yu just happened to hit her gun, so she threw the white fruit in her hand away, turned her head and asked, "What if I write a poem?"

"How ridiculous! You've been hiding behind and keeping silent since just now. It seems you're afraid of making a fool of yourself in public. Why are you trying to show off now?" Tang Yu mocked Lin Zan with a look of disbelief.

Lin Zhan stood up, walked in front of her, and said word by word. "What I mean is, what if I write a poem?"

Such a tough attitude made Tang Yu look very unhappy. He took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "If you can write a poem that others can't match, then this jade pendant will be yours."

Seeing this, Tang Xiu also came over with a frown on her face and scolded Tang Yu. "What are you doing? This is what your father gave you when you were born. You and I each have one. How can you use this jade pendant as a bet?"

After hearing the origin of the jade pendant, Lin Zhan raised her eyebrows. She was originally wavering, but at this moment she became determined.

Before Tang Yu could regret it, Lin Zhan said directly, "Okay, it's a deal."

"If you lose, you have to say in front of everyone that you are a fool." A smug look flashed across Tang Yu's face, and he said to Lin Zan viciously.

Lin Zhan sneered and nodded. "Isn't it just writing a poem? I can do it easily."

Seeing how confident she was, Tang Yu's expression changed and he gritted his teeth. Could it be that Lin Zhan really had such talent?

Lin Zan walked directly behind the curtain and pondered the few poems stored in his mind.

Finally, she remembered a poem, and then she coughed lightly and chanted loudly, "The sound of the spring chokes the dangerous rocks, and the sun shines coldly on the green pines."

After the sound of jade beads falling on a silver plate, there was a moment of silence on the other side. Even Tang Yu, who was standing behind him, was stunned and even felt a little regretful.
