The flower-viewing banquet of Mo country is scheduled for three days later, while the wine-tasting and poetry-reciting conference of Fu country will be held today.

Lan Zhi complained in her heart that these people must be idle.

It's either this banquet or that conference.

She didn't want to attend, but Fu Jingchuan gave her an oral order to go.

Ever since Lan Xin came to Fuguo, Fu Jingchuan no longer needed her to go to his place to practice calligraphy and painting.

Lan Zhi knew that he was suspicious of her, but it didn’t matter, as long as his favorability toward her didn’t decrease, it would be fine.

When she arrived at the Imperial Garden, the meeting had not yet begun and people were gathered in groups of three or five, talking and laughing.

Lan Zhi was wearing casual everyday clothes, a white robe with red edges and dark bamboo patterns embroidered on it. It was a casual outfit in itself, but it made her look even fairer and more handsome.

When everyone saw her, they couldn't help but be stunned.

He looks good, but unfortunately he is a fool.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "How dare that idiot come to attend a poetry reading?"

"That's right, is this a place she can come to? Hahaha..."

Lan Zhi smiled and said, "People who affect their appetite can come, so why can't I come?"

"What do you mean? Are you calling us ugly?"

Lan Zhi looked at her with admiration: "Not bad, you are quite self-aware."

"Azhi, how can you bully others like this?" Lan Xin walked over slowly with a sullen look on her face, like an older sister educating her younger brother.

"Hey, isn't this your cousin who is going to marry the Queen of Mo? I heard that your family members are in jail, why are you still here?"

[Host, this is shrimp and pig heart! ]

"Who asked her to come here?"

After hearing this, the people present couldn't help but discuss:

"I thought they had a good relationship as siblings, but I didn't expect them to not get along."

"I heard that Lan Xin ran away from another country. It turns out that all her family members are in jail?"

"At the last banquet held by the princess, she was so arrogant that I thought she was very important."

After hearing this, Lan Xin was so angry that her face turned red.

She leaned closer to Lan Zhi and said in a low voice, "Believe it or not, I will tell everyone about your experiences in other countries."

"Please."

"you--!"

[You are lucky that I didn't kill you back then, but that doesn't mean you will always have such a good life. Just wait! ]

The moment she spoke out her inner words, Lan Zhi's eyes showed a slight surprise.

Fu Jingchuan, who was coming this way, also heard it.

At this time, Lan Xin said again: "Sister, I have been keeping your disguise as a man a secret. How can you slander me so viciously?"

[It's over, host, your vest is no longer safe. 】

Lan Zhi didn't care: "It's only a matter of time."

After hearing Lan Xin's words, the crowd started to eat more.

"Women's clothes, men's clothes?! Is that true?"

"They are from the same place, so this should be true."

"That's a crime of deceiving the emperor. Haha, there's something interesting to watch."

"You know what, he really does look a bit like a woman. With his height and appearance, I think what Lan Xin said might be true."

A majestic and domineering voice sounded from behind everyone:

"She is a girl to begin with. I asked her to dress like this. Do you have any objections?"

After hearing Fu Jingchuan's words, everyone was so scared that they immediately knelt down.

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone was shocked by Fu Jingchuan's words.

It turns out that Lan Xiang is a female?

Or did the emperor ask her to dress like this?

Fu Jingchuan sat down on the chair domineeringly and glared at the people below: "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not breathe: "We dare not, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Lan Xin was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

I wanted Lan Zhi to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor, but I didn't expect that he would actually speak for her!

Fu Jingchuan glanced at Lan Zhi. It had only been a while since they last met, but she had lost so much weight?

He retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fu Jingchuan put his hands on the seat and leaned back lazily: "Let's get started."

The father-in-law beside him shouted: "Meeting--Start!"

After hearing this, everyone sat back in their seats.

Just when Lan Zhi was about to find a seat to sit down, Fu Jingchuan glanced at Eunuch Yan An.

Eunuch Yan An immediately understood what his master meant. He said, "Prime Minister Lan, your position is here."

Lan Zhi glanced at the seat next to Fu Jingchuan, which was where only the Queen Mother could sit.

Even if she was the prime minister, she could only sit in the upper seats on either side.

Unless Fu Jingchuan said so himself, she would not take the blame.

She smiled and said, "Father-in-law is wrong, my place is here."

As she said this, she sat down to one side.

Fu Jingchuan lowered his eyes, and Eunuch Yan An beside him muttered in his heart: "You can't blame me for this, Master, you didn't say anything."

The wine tasting and poetry reciting conference was held after the imperial edict was issued. The guests at the banquet were basically young upstarts in the court and talented men and beautiful women with reputations for talent in the officials' families.

The top ten candidates in the palace examination below the top scholar will be the protagonists of this conference.

Therefore, some young and talented men and women want to become famous at this conference.

Lan Xin was secretly proud that the poems she had memorized could finally come in handy.

This time, she is going to stun everyone and become famous!

Just as the palace maids brought the wine in an orderly manner, Fu Jingchuan's cousin came in dressed up.

She was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with golden peony flowers, and the hairpins on her head were shining. Every step she took sparkled in the sunlight.

Today, all the girls were competing to see who was dressed most beautifully. But when Wang Yanyan arrived, everyone's clothes instantly pale in comparison.

But among all the shining gold, bright red and green colors, the blue clothes are the cleanest and freshest.

Lan Zhi just wants to say, aren’t you guys hot?

The temperature here is about 30 degrees.

Wang Yanyan's eyes were fixed on Fu Jingchuan. She walked towards him with a smile, her voice still as clear as that of a yellow oriole: "Yan'er greets His Majesty."

"Well, let's get flat."

"Yan'er, can you sit here?" Wang Yanyan asked, looking at the empty seat next to Fu Jingchuan.

She blinked her cute big eyes and looked very innocent.

Fu Jingchuan just glanced down casually, and Eunuch Yan'an understood what he meant.

Eunuch Yan An said, "County Lady, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

Wang Yanyan pouted: "It's just a seat. My cousin is not that kind of stubborn person. It's just you servants who are meddling in other people's business."

Seeing that Fu Jingchuan didn't say anything, she smiled again and said, "Well...then I'll sit over here."

So she sat opposite Lan Zhi.

At this time, a good friend of Wang Yanyan came over and whispered to her: "County Princess, that Lan Xiang is a woman, and His Majesty just acknowledged it."

Wang Yanyan's eyes curved as she smiled faintly: "Really? So what?"

Isn't it just practicing calligraphy with His Majesty? A straw bag, what kind of storm can it overturn?

"Everyone was talking about her just now, and His Majesty said that he was the one who asked Prime Minister Lan to wear men's clothes. I feel that His Majesty is trying to help her out."

Wang Yanyan's smile suddenly froze.
