“Fei Yue’er?”
“Is it really her? Fei Yue’er actually came?”
“Heavens! Ever since I saw her portrait, I couldn’t eat or sleep. I never thought I’d see her today—but curse these bead curtains, I can’t see a thing!”
“…”
As soon as Princess Pingyang finished speaking, excited whispers erupted among the scholars and nobles. Everyone craned their necks, trying to catch a glimpse of the figure behind the beaded curtain.
But the thick layers of beads only showed blurred shadows, making it impossible to see clearly. The golden-armored guards standing on either side further crushed any hopes of reckless attempts to peek.
Pan Yu trembled at the name, his eyes burning with hatred—directed squarely at Xiao Ming.
This was why he had dared to insult Xiao Ming so boldly.
Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow, wishing he had X-ray vision to see Fei Yue’er’s legendary beauty. But thanks to the Prince of Shu’s interference, that hope was now dashed.
“Since Her Highness has asked me to set the challenge,” a clear, melodious voice came from behind the curtain, “how about each of you compose a poem on one of the Four Noble Plants—plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum?”
Xiao Ming’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of her voice—like a nightingale’s song, enchanting and pure.
