Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pretty girl sitting next to Madam Xiao.

Because Su Luoxue had never attended such a banquet before, and had always stayed in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and seldom went out, many officials and sons would not let her go.

Xuan Moyin, who was sitting opposite her, chuckled when he heard her comment on the prince's poem. He also agreed with Su Luoxue that the prince's poem was nonsense.

Then he looked at Su Luoxue and smiled at her lovingly.

Xuan Moyin's doting smile instantly mesmerized the ladies on the female guest side. The Regent smiled. He actually knew how to smile, and it was such a gentle smile. Oh my God!

The prince also responded, and said to Su Luoxue in dissatisfaction: "I don't know what you mean by that, young lady? Since you say that the poems written by this prince are shit, then why don't you write one, young lady!"

Su Qingrou at the back also stood up and said, "Sister, I know the prince broke off the engagement with you and you are very unhappy, but you can't humiliate the prince's poems in public like this. You said the prince's poems are not good, can sister write better poems than the prince's?" Su Qingrou knew that many people here did not recognize Su Luoxue, so she deliberately mentioned that the prince had broken off the engagement with her, and also deliberately embarrassed Su Luoxue in front of everyone.

"So she is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"I heard that the royal family broke off the engagement because she lost her innocence."

"How can she have the nerve to come to this kind of party so openly?"

Su Qingrou's words really worked. The guests on both sides began to whisper. Su Qingrou and Zhang looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

Xuan Haotian looked at Su Luoxue. It turned out that this was the Miss Su whose engagement he had broken off. She was quite pretty, but it was a pity that her virginity had been lost. Otherwise, it would have been nice to have her as a concubine in the backyard.

Seeing the prince staring at her with a disgusting look, Su Luoxue coughed and said, "Prince, how about we make a bet?"

Xuan Haotian reacted and asked, "What bet?"

"If the poem I write is better than yours, you will lose 10 taels of silver to me. Conversely, I will lose 10 taels to you. Do you dare?" Su Luoxue said.

"Of course I dare. Do you think you can create a work better than mine?" The prince said unconvinced.

Sitting next to the crown prince are the second prince, Ning Wang Xuan Haochen (born to the Imperial Noble Consort), and the third prince, Zhao Wang Xuan Haode (born to Concubine Rou). The emperor currently has only these three princes, and the children of other concubines are all princesses.

The two princes did not say anything, but just drank the tea in front of them silently. They just wanted to be a spectator and watch the show quietly.

"Sister, if you lose, can you afford the 10 taels of gambling money? You can't deny it when the time comes!" Su Qingrou said.

"Don't worry, I won't lose!" Su Luoxue turned and said to Su Qingrou.

"You, sister, don't brag too early, otherwise it will be embarrassing later." Su Qingrou said unconvinced. This bitch's mother never asked the teacher to teach her, how could she write poetry?

"If Miss Su loses, I will pay for her." Xuan Moyin, who was sitting and drinking tea, suddenly said.

"Okay, with what the uncle said, I am willing to bet with you." The prince said, "But who will be the judge?"

Hearing the prince say this, Lord Xiao, who was sitting in the first seat, stood up and said, "The most qualified person to judge here should be my father. Do you have any objections?"

When everyone heard that the old master was to be the judge, they were naturally convinced and had no objections.

Lord Xiao sent his servant to invite the old tutor. When the old tutor heard that Su Luoxue wanted to compete in poetry with the prince, he did not even rest but had someone bring him to the banquet immediately.

When everyone saw the old Grand Tutor coming, they all stood up to greet him. The old Grand Tutor waved his hand to tell everyone not to greet him, and then sat in the first seat vacated by his son. Lord Xiao and Xiao Luobai stood behind the old Grand Tutor.

The old master sat down, looked at the prince and said: "Prince, why don't you repeat the poem you just wrote? Let someone copy it down so that we can compare it later."

The prince repeated the poem he had just composed, and the old tutor asked Xiao Luobai beside him to copy it down.

Then he looked at Su Luoxue and said, "Girl, it's your turn."

"He really doesn't know his place," someone whispered.

Su Luoxue ignored the others, stood up, walked to the fence of the pavilion, pointed to a pink bud not far away, and said casually:

"The spring eye silently cherishes the trickle, the tree shadow shines on the water and loves the gentle sunshine.

"The lotus has just begun to show its tip, and already a dragonfly has landed on it."

Everyone looked in the direction of Su Luoxue's finger and saw a red dragonfly standing on the flower bud.

"Good poem!" the old man praised. Xiao Luobai quickly wrote it down, fearing that he would forget it later.

"One flower and one leaf are connected, and when the flower blooms, the leaf is round. Because the cinnabar is too red, the tender green is used to decorate the moon."

While everyone here was still thinking about the poem they had just recited, Su Luoxue composed another one.

Xiao Luobai quickly wrote it down and handed it to his grandfather. The old tutor spread two pieces of paper with Su Luoxue's poems on the table in front of him.

"The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it. Good! Girl, you wrote it very well. And this one, 'A flower and a leaf are connected to each other, and when the flower blooms the leaves are already round.' It may be that the rouge is too red, so the tender green is used to add beauty. Girl, you wrote the shy beauty of the lotus so vividly, a masterpiece, a masterpiece, hahahaha, these two poems are rare masterpieces." The old tutor praised excitedly without reservation.

Everyone was also amazed by the two poems. There were many officials and sons who liked to pretend to be cultured and love to write poems together. The more they looked down on Su Luoxue just now, the more they felt slapped in the face now.

The prince slumped down in the chair in despair. If Su Luoxue had only composed one poem, he could still argue with her, but she had composed two poems in a row, and both of them were masterpieces. How could he compare with her?

I originally thought that the eldest daughter of the Su family, whose engagement I had broken off, was just a good-looking fool. She had embarrassed me like that, yet still dared to make a bet with me. So I would fulfill her wish, embarrass her and ridicule her. Unexpectedly, the clown in the end turned out to be myself.

A bet of 10 was a small matter for him, but losing to a woman he didn't want in front of so many wives, daughters and gentlemen of officials was simply a humiliation for him.

"Your Highness, Miss Su has written two poems, and you can also write one," said Lord Xiao.

"Your Highness, you can write as many poems as you want. I have ten or eight poems like this in my mind, so it's no problem!" Su Luoxue said bluntly, looking at the prince's blushing face.

Indeed, there are so many masterpieces of famous artists in her mind, it should be fine to borrow them, Su Luoxue comforted herself.

"Impossible, you haven't received any education from the teacher or the nanny, how can you write poetry? You must have plagiarized someone else." Su Qingrou said loudly.

But as soon as she finished saying this, she found that all the ladies and young ladies present were looking at her. In the capital, not to mention the daughters of officials, even the daughters of ordinary wealthy families would hire a nanny to tutor their daughters from a few years old, and have students come to the house to teach their daughters various arts such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Su Luoxue was the eldest daughter of a first-rank prime minister's mansion, and she had been engaged to the current crown prince since childhood. How could the lady of the prime minister's mansion not hire a nanny and students to teach her?
