Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 36: Poetry Comparison at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet
Xiao Luobai took Su Luoxue to visit his grandfather at Qingfengyuan. As they walked along the way, looking at the woman beside him, Xiao Luobai's heart was pounding violently.
Su Luoxue had always made his heart beat faster, and today she looked even more beautiful and elegant, like a fairy from heaven.
After a while, they arrived at the old Grand Tutor's Qingfeng Courtyard. For the first time, Xiao Luobai felt that this courtyard was too close to the mansion gate. After a while, they arrived there.
When the old master saw Su Luoxue coming, he happily came out to greet her, took Su Luoxue's hand and led them to sit down at the table in the yard, on which were various snacks and tea that had been prepared long ago.
Now the old master can walk briskly without anyone's help. Su Luoxue looked at the old master with a smile and took his pulse after he sat down.
"Girl, how is my health?" the old master asked with a smile.
"Grandpa Grandpa, your health is getting better and better. As long as you keep taking my medicine, you will live to be a hundred years old!" Su Luoxue said with a smile.
"That medicine is too bitter. I don't even want to drink it." The old master said coquettishly to Su Luoxue.
"Grandpa Grandmaster, I was inconsiderate. I will make the medicine into small pills in a few days and send them to you. It will be convenient for you to take and it won't be so bitter." Su Luoxue said.
"Okay, okay, then I'll wait." The old master said as he gave Su Luoxue various pastries to eat.
Xiao Luobai has always been treated as a transparent person by his grandfather. Since he entered the yard, his grandfather has never looked at him straight in the eye. Now he actually heard his grandfather and Miss Su acting coquettishly and saying that the medicine was bitter to drink. Moreover, since Miss Su came in, his grandfather has been smiling.
This simply shocked him. Was this still his grandfather who never smiled and who would ask him about his studies with a stern face whenever he saw him?
Although Su Luoxue was not very hungry, she still took the various snacks handed over by the old master, took a big bite of each, and kept saying "delicious" while eating.
The old teacher was even more delighted. Look, how nice it would be to have such a granddaughter, who is sweet-mouthed and can make him happy. She is nothing like that grandson. Every time he comes to him, it is like a needle in his butt. He will leave after sitting for a while and has never smiled in front of him.
Thinking of this, the old master looked up coldly at his grandson standing there. This look scared Xiao Luobai so much that he shivered. At this moment, a servant ran in.
"Hello, old master." said the servant.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Luobai asked.
"The master asked me to inform you that the crown prince, the second prince, the third prince and the regent have all arrived. The banquet will start soon. The master and the mistress asked you to bring Miss Su over." said the servant.
He's here too? Su Luoxue was startled.
"Luo Bai, you take Miss Su over there. I won't go. I'm old and don't like to join in the fun." said the old tutor.
Xiao Luobai took Su Luoxue away and came to the banquet venue.
The banquet was not held in a house but in two large pavilions facing each other, surrounded by lotus ponds on all sides. There was also a lotus pond of about 2 meters separating the pavilions. Male guests sat on one side of the two pavilions, and female guests sat on the other side. The front of the pavilion for the female guests was covered with a gauze curtain.
Xiao Luobai asked a maid to take Su Luoxue to the pavilion for female guests, while he went to the pavilion for male guests.
The maid brought Su Luoxue to the pavilion. Originally, Su Luoxue should have sat next to Zhang and Su Qingrou, but when Madam Xiao saw her coming, she immediately whispered something to the maid beside her. The maid hurriedly walked up to Su Luoxue and brought her to sit next to Madam Xiao.
Su Qingrou watched as Su Luoxue was called by Madam Xiao to sit next to the main seat at the front. She was so angry, "Mom! Look at that bitch." Su Qingrou complained to Zhang in a low voice.
Zhang could only comfort her daughter softly, "Be patient, Rou'er."
There are many young ladies from official families here. They feel that their visit today is worthwhile, because not only the crown prince and several princes are here today, but even the regent who rarely shows up is here. Who is the regent? He is the most beautiful man in the Yuan Kingdom in the hearts of all the young ladies, and the prince charming in the hearts of every girl.
Su Luoxue sat in the front row, listening to the young ladies whispering in the back. Almost all of them were excited about seeing the Regent.
Haha, he really has a face that will attract bad luck in love. Su Luoxue thought so and glared at Xuan Moyin unconsciously.
Xuan Moyin, who was sitting opposite Su Luoxue, was also sitting in the front row, facing Su Luoxue. From the moment Su Luoxue entered the pavilion and sat next to Madam Xiao, he had been looking at her, seeing her curiously looking around, seeing her and Madam Xiao talking and laughing, and then, how did she start staring at him? That look was as if he had committed some unforgivable crime.
Su Luoxue turned around to admire the lotus flowers. The lotus flowers in the pond were colorful, white with pink, pink with red, with both elegant deep red and fresh and elegant light white. The lotus leaves were as green as jade, graceful and beautiful, complementing the lotus flowers, and the natural beauty was breathtaking.
"Wow, look, the prince is looking at me." A young lady sitting behind Su Qingrou exclaimed excitedly.
"What? The prince is clearly smiling at me!" said another lady next to him.
Su Qingrou looked back in the direction of the voice and said, "What? You look so weird, and you are worthy of the Crown Prince to even look at you. Aren't you afraid of polluting the Crown Prince's eyes?"
Su Qingrou turned her head away in disgust. What a bunch of self-conceited women! The Crown Prince was clearly looking at her just now.
Here, Madam Xiao was inviting the other ladies to enjoy snacks, wine and food, and appreciate the beauty of the lotus pond. Over there, Lord Xiao and Xiao Luobai were also greeting the Regent, the Crown Prince, and the other princes.
I don't know what wind blew the Regent here today. In the past, no matter who held a banquet, although the Regent would always be invited, he never attended and would only send gifts.
Although he also sent a visiting invitation to the Regent this time, he never expected that the Regent would actually come in person.
So Lord Xiao could only accompany Xuan Moyin the whole time. There was no other way. Since this great god was coming in person, he had to be entertained well.
At this time, someone among the male guests said, "With such a beautiful scenery, why not compare two poems?"
When everyone heard this, they expressed their agreement.
In order to win the favor of the ladies across the street, the young men from each family used their many years of talent to write a poem. Those who received a compliment would naturally feel very proud.
“Pure and flawless like white jade, standing gracefully in the pond.
The pond is full of endless green lotus leaves, but the lotus is the most beautiful."
Crown Prince Xuan Haotian stood up, holding a glass of wine, and recited a poem facing the lotus pond.
Good, everyone clapped their hands and said, what a quatrain! It is so beautifully written! "Pure and flawless as white jade, standing tall and graceful in the pond" this is simply a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages.
The young men who were writing poems earlier were no longer complacent and just sat there properly.
"Wow, the poem written by the prince is really amazing."
"Of course, he's the prince?" The ladies on the female side were also whispering. Su Qingrou listened and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. He was her brother the prince, and the poem he wrote must be a masterpiece.
As everyone was praising him, Su Luoxue, who had just finished a piece of dessert, clapped her hands, took a sip of tea and said, "What a ridiculous poem this is!"
