Chapter 74 - 63, True Bodhisattva
The greeter waitress paused for a moment, then grabbed a piece of Xuan paper and ran upstairs.
"I heard a scholar who just returned from Donglin Academy say that the Princely Heir is scolded by the masters every day, and every day he is either catching wild chickens and rabbits on the mountain or sneaking off the mountain to drink in the city. Look at their group, do they look like scholars? They’re all waving swords and dancing around like country bumpkins."
"Surely Liu Xingshou will let him go upstairs, considering his status as the Princely Heir?"
"You don’t know. Previously on the Qinhuai River in Jinling, the main heir of the Hu Family couldn’t produce any poetry but still wanted to board a boat, causing a scene. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"One son of the Xu Family beat up the Hu Family’s main heir and threw him into the Qinhuai River! So, if the Princely Heir thinks he can act all high and mighty, he’s really picked the wrong place. Liu Xingshou is backed by the Cabinet Minister from the Xu Family... the Xu Family doesn’t even have to respect a vassal prince..."
At this moment, the crowd was still buzzing with discussion, but the Princely Heir ignored these voices, waiting only for the greeter waitress to come down and curiously asked, "Miss, what did Liu Xingshou say?"
The greeter waitress giggled, "My lady said, the Princely Heir didn’t brag. Your half sentence is worth ten from someone else! Please, go upstairs!"
The onlookers were shocked, "The incompetent Princely Heir can write poetry?"
The Princely Heir slightly narrowed his eyes, turned his head to scan the crowd, trying to find who had spoken.
However, he looked striking, wearing the Princely Heir’s official cap and a silver brocade robe, just the disappearance of his smile endowed him with a natural authority, a bit unlike the former wastrel he was.
