Bai Lingyue and Mr. Buran were tasting exquisite snacks when they smelled a very pungent smell of powder, and then a group of colorful women walked into the pavilion.
"Sneeze!" Mr. Buran sneezed. There were many women, and they all used different powders. When mixed together, it created a strange smell.
It was still comfortable to be with Bai Lingyue just now. There was a faint medicinal fragrance on her body.
"Mr. Buran, when did you come? Why didn't I see you?" Princess Taiping was about to walk towards Mr. Buran, but he raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't even come here, the smell is too strong." Mr. Buran said this expressionlessly, making Princess Taiping's face turn red and white.
There were indeed too many noble ladies brought here under her leadership, and she also smelled the indescribable smell.
"Except Yunlian, all of you should retreat outside the pavilion." Princess Taiping asked everyone else to leave. She only stayed with Bai Yunlian.
After all the other noble ladies had retreated, Princess Taiping sat across from Young Master Buran. She asked Bai Yunlian to come over and sit down, and Young Master Buran spoke again.
"Since when has my status become so low? How can a concubine sit down in front of me?"
Princess Taiping...
Bai Yunlian...
Even Bai Lingyue was shocked. Mr. Buran, you are so awesome!
Although no one knew the origin of Mr. Buran, if he caught the eye of the regent, he would be nobler than everyone else.
The regent in the Jin Dynasty was someone who even the emperor had to give in to. Who dared to give him eye drops?
"Yunlian, stand behind me." Princess Taiping likes Mr. Buran, so she must not disobey him. The only one who can be wronged is Bai Yunlian.
Bai Yunlian was really aggrieved. Her eyes fell on Mr. Buran's face. With his exquisite facial features and noble temperament, hey, isn't he the regent's favorite? If the regent has a new love, you are nothing!
However, she could only scold Mr. Bu Ran in her heart, and did not dare to show any emotions on the surface.
"Young Master Bu Ran, don't you like the snacks prepared by me? Why did you bring your own food? Bai Lingyue, you are serious too. You dare to eat Mr. Bu Ran's food."
After Princess Taiping sat down, she began to make things difficult for Bai Lingyue.
Based on Bai Lingyue's previous temperament, she would definitely stand up in fear and leave at this time. This would give her a chance to be alone with Mr. Buran.
That was before, but now Bai Lingyue doesn't care about her at all.
"What can I not dare to eat from Master Bu Ran's food? He will not harm me." After saying this, Bai Lingyue picked up another candy cake and put it in her mouth.
"The pastries Mr. Buran brought are so delicious, they melt in your mouth." Bai Lingyue praised as she closed her eyes gently after eating.
When Princess Taiping heard this, she was also curious. She reached out to take a piece to try, but was blocked by a slender hand like jade.
"Princess, I don't have much snacks here, so I'm just giving this girl who has never seen the world a taste. You'd better eat the snacks prepared by the princess's house!"
This was said very tactfully, but the meaning of rejection was also very obvious.
Princess Taiping is not stupid, this is obviously because Master Buran does not let her eat the food he brought, and only gives it to Bai Lingyue!
Princess Taiping was really angry and was about to explode when Bai Yunlian behind her gently pulled her sleeves. She understood that she had to maintain a good image in front of Mr. Bu Ran and not let him know her true nature.
"Okay, I really don't like to eat food from outside. Young Master Buran, Bai Lingyue, Yunlian is also preparing a poetry party, and everyone who comes will participate. Don't forget it!"
Princess Taiping glanced at Bai Lingyue with a smile on her face.
Humph, there is nothing good to gain from offending her. I will let Mr. Buran see the true face of Bai Lingyue’s good-for-nothing!
Princess Taiping took Bai Yunlian away, and Young Master Buran looked at Bai Lingyue.
"We won't go for a while. What a useless thing. It's boring."
Everyone in the capital knew that Bai Lingyue couldn't read a few Chinese characters and couldn't play chess, calligraphy or painting. It would be embarrassing to go there, so Mr. Buran wouldn't let Bai Lingyue go.
"Mr. Buran, it's okay. I want to go and have a look. Thank you so much, sir, but you might offend the princess." Bai Lingyue didn't expect that Mr. Buran would offend Princess Taiping in order to protect her.
"Hahahaha, am I still afraid of her?" Young Master Buran said disdainfully.
Also, the regent's favorite really doesn't need to be afraid of anyone.
"You don't have to be afraid. You and the regent have a cooperative relationship, and he will protect you." Young Master Buran suddenly said again, telling Bai Lingyue not to be afraid of Princess Taiping.
Bai Lingyue smiled gratefully at him. She was determined to make Mr. Buran her friend.
Not long after, someone came over to inform them that the poetry conference had begun.
Bai Lingyue snorted in her heart, Bai Yunlian, Bai Yunlian, you really don't stop!
"Master Buran, let's go take a look." Bai Lingyue's eyes were full of expectation.
"Okay, let's go." Mr. Buran asked people to put away everything on the stone table, and then went to the garden of the princess mansion with Bai Lingyue.
There are already crowds of people beside the lotus pond. The ladies and gentlemen of the third-rank officials and above in the capital are all waiting here to participate in the poetry meeting, so that they can express themselves and find the one they like.
The sun shines in every corner of the garden, but some people are so dark in their hearts.
"Dear ladies, today we are going to play a trick, beat the drum and pass the flowers. The maid of this palace starts to beat the drum, and then the bouquet is passed down. When the drum stops playing, whoever has the bouquet in his hand will compose a poem. How? Sample?
If you can’t compose poetry, you can perform anything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. "
Princess Taiping's proposal made many people understand that this was to punish Bai Lingyue. In order to flatter the princess, these people had to cooperate.
"Okay, we all need to participate."
"Sister, we are also participating. It's okay, I will help you." Bai Yunlian pulled Bai Lingyue's sleeve and said.
"Okay." Bai Lingyue agreed readily.
So a long chair was filled with ladies participating in the game.
When the drumming started, the bouquet was passed from the hands of Princess Taiping. Everyone passed it very quickly, fearing that it would be delayed in their hands.
Bai Yunlian received the bouquet, and she quickly gave it to Bai Lingyue, and then Bai Lingyue gave it to the next one. The first person to receive the bouquet was the young lady from Li Shilang's family. She stumbled and composed a poem. It was passed.
The second time, the daughter of Wang Shangshu's family, who was not very proficient in poetry, sang a song for everyone. Her voice was sweet and she was unanimously recognized.
The third time, everyone's emotions became even higher. After a period of intense transmission, the flower ball fell into Bai Lingyue's hand!
