Chapter 466 - 463: Regret_1
"Keep your voice down! If someone hears, you might get whipped!" The noblewoman, using a round fan to cover her face, playfully tapped her friend with it, holding back her laughter. "Didn’t you see the Commandery Princess of Gaoyi, who loves to wield a whip, following them?"
Zhen Zeping’s third daughter, Miss Zhen, overheard the group of noblewomen gossiping and was displeased. "My father said that the Princess of Zhen and the Commandery Princess of Gaoyi are true heroines, inheriting the spirit of the King of Zhen. In the Jin Kingdom, apart from Bai Suqiu of the Bai family who volunteered during the Jiaozhou epidemic, only these two are deserving of the title of heroic women!"
The noblewoman glanced at Miss Zhen and sneered but refrained from further comment, simply flicking her handkerchief while watching Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan pass by Yanque Tower, followed by Bai Jinzhi and the guards.
"Princess of Zhen!"
Murong Li, the Fourth Prince of Yan, together with Lu Yuanqing and Chen Zhaolu, arrived for the poetry gathering. Upon seeing Bai Qingyan, he happily called out and dismounted his horse to salute her.
"Fourth Prince of Yan, Young Master Lu, Young Master Chen!" Xiao Rongyan greeted them with a smile.
Chen Zhaolu and Lu Yuanqing had long admired Xiao Rongyan’s talent. Ever since his poem "Pingchuan Night Snow" became famous, any of his writings that surfaced were considered masterpieces. They couldn’t help but be impressed and treated him with great respect.
"Mr. Xiao!" They all returned the greeting to Xiao Rongyan.
"There’s a poetry gathering at Yanque Tower today. If the Princess of Zhen, the Commandery Princess of Gaoyi, and Mr. Xiao are interested, why not join us for some fun?" Chen Zhaolu said gracefully with a gentle smile.
Murong Li, not wanting Chen Zhaolu to disturb his uncle and aunt’s time together, quickly added, "If... the Princess of Zhen, the Commandery Princess of Gaoyi, and Mr. Xiao have other plans, there’s no need to force it."
