Because in five days the Wen'an Poetry Meeting will be held at Shaoguang Temple.

It’s Shaoguang Temple again, what a coincidence.

Last time, it was also because of Shaoguang Temple that her reputation was almost ruined. I wonder what methods Jiang Wei will use this time?

She was somewhat looking forward to it.

The so-called Wen'an Poetry Society is said to have been founded by the first empress of the Linyuan Dynasty. It was originally an opportunity for unmarried men and women in the capital to use poetry to glimpse into other people. In order to ensure its effectiveness, participating men and women had to wear masks. If they could lead to a good relationship, it would be great. Later, it gradually flourished, and the empress was posthumously named Empress Wen'an after her death.

The Wen'an Poetry Festival is held every three years and is always hosted by the Queen herself. Jiang Wanyue had hosted it once when she was the Queen in her previous life, but it was not really that interesting. I wonder what it will be like this year.

The current queen is Yao Yu'an, so she will definitely come... Jiang Wanyue was worried that she would not have the chance to do something with her!

Jiang Wanyue curled her lips and smiled.

"Stay by your aunt's side these few days and don't come to my place often to avoid arousing suspicion. If anything happens, you can let Chunhe and Bujing tell me." Jiang Wanyue looked serious.

Grandma Kong was no longer as arrogant as before. She said "yes" respectfully and left Xiangyue Pavilion.

After sending away Madam Kong, Jiang Wanyue went to Qingshang Garden again.

Of course, Jiang Wanyue went to find Jiang Ye with the intention of taking Jiang Ye to the Wen'an Poetry Festival.

Jiang Ye is already twenty-one years old this year. He has never married due to his illness. Later, Jiang Ye no longer has the charm and elegance he once had, and no one came to propose marriage to him anymore.

But after so many days of Jiang Wanyue's supervision, Jiang Ye finally recovered a little. Although at first glance he is not as handsome as before, he is still a rare handsome man. Perhaps this Wen'an Poetry Festival is an opportunity to meet him, and if he is lucky, he can even bring home a sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue couldn't wait to run to Qingshang Garden.

"Brother, you've recovered well recently. Are you interested in going out and playing with me?" Jiang Wanyue said with a smirk on her face.

Jiang Ye was amused by Jiang Wanyue's expression and said, "You mean the Wen'an Poetry Festival in five days?"

"How did you guess that?" Jiang Wanyue felt like she was seen through, and her smile froze.

"No one knows a sister better than a brother." Jiang Ye joked, and then his eyes dimmed again, as if a sore spot had been touched, "But I won't go."

"Why?"

Jiang Wanyue remembered that when she hosted the Wen'an Poetry Festival three years ago, Jiang Ye came to participate and won the first prize in poetry that session. He immediately won a lot of hearts, but later he fell ill and faded out of people's sight.

Jiang Ye shook his head and turned his wheelchair to face away from Jiang Wanyue, as if he didn't want to say more.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyue didn't try to persuade him any further. She just thought that he didn't want the world to see him sitting in a wheelchair, so she told him to "take good care of yourself" and left.

As night fell, Jiang Wanyue lay in bed after taking a bath, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep, when she heard the window suddenly blown open by the wind.

It was a chilly autumn night, so Jiang Wanyue exempted Chunhe and the others from keeping watch and had to leave on her own.

Just as she was about to close the window, a hand suddenly blocked her way, giving Jiang Wanyue a fright.

"It's me." A deep voice came.

Jiang Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was Xie Jingce.

But it was really indecent to break into the boudoir at night, so he just pretended not to recognize her. He got angry and growled, "Where did this lecher come from? Why did he climb through the window instead of going through the door?"

Seeing that the people inside were relaxed, Xie Jingce was about to climb in, but when he heard Jiang Wanyue say this, he was so angry that he laughed.

"If you speak louder, it will be you who will lose your reputation, but it will not affect me at all."

When Jiang Wanyue heard him call himself "this king", she felt reluctant to slander Xie Jingce, but she was also a little wary.

Could it be that Xie Jingce suspected something? Otherwise, why did he come to her?

As they were talking, Xie Jingce had already entered the house. He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea as if he was a familiar person.

"I remember that you have a very good relationship with Ye Qingwu." Xie Jingce drank a glass of water and moistened his throat.

"In the past, when I was in the Ye Mansion, I met Sister Ye and often saw His Highness."

Ye Qingwu is the same age as Jiang Wanyue, but is a few months older than Jiang Wanyue. Therefore, according to Jiang Wanyue's habit, she calls Ye Qingwu "Sister Ye".

Xie Jingce is a person who pays attention to details, and Jiang Wanyue dare not reveal the secret.

Xie Jingce said "hmm" lightly, this is true.

After a pause, Xie Jingce continued, "The Ye Mansion was robbed a few days ago. I thought you had a very good relationship with her, so I should let you know."

Jiang Wanyue's heart skipped a beat. Xie Jingce really suspected her, but what did he mean by the last sentence? She knew he knew, but so what? She couldn't catch the thief, and she was sure that the thief Xie Jingce was talking about was her.

Did he deliberately use this to test her? Jiang Wanyue frowned: "Your Highness, the Ye Mansion was robbed. I am incapable of bringing the thief to justice. I am afraid that Your Highness needs to pay more attention to it. I believe that Sister Ye will be very pleased if she is still alive."

Xie Jingce was stunned when he heard this, and the tea cup that had just reached his mouth was no longer fragrant. He originally wanted to test Jiang Wanyue, but he didn't expect Jiang Wanyue to be smarter than he thought.

He actually underestimated Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Wanyue was eagerly waiting for Xie Jingce's next words, but the latter obviously had no intention of continuing and asked about other things instead: "Yao Yu'an will also go to the Wen'an Poetry Meeting in five days."

"The Queen is a daughter of gold and the host of the poetry meeting, so of course she will go." Jiang Wanyue nodded and followed Xie Jingce's words.

What a joke! I lived under the same roof with Xie Jingce for fifteen years, so I should have known him very well. I didn't expect that three years later, Xie Jingce's ability to speak these words has not changed at all.

How could Jiang Wanyue fall into his trap?

However, Xie Jingce actually called Yao Yu'an by her name, which probably shows that he doesn't have much good feelings towards Yao Yu'an.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Unconsciously, Jiang Wanyue suddenly felt that Xie Jingce was not so annoying anymore.

Xie Jingce took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Wanyue meaningfully. Was she really not understanding or was she pretending not to understand?

Jiang Wanyue turned her head away, pretending not to dare to look directly at him.

"very good."

After a long while, Xie Jingce said this without thinking, "I am looking forward to your performance."

Xie Jingce put down his teacup and turned around to go back the same way. Jiang Wanyue frowned and said nothing. In just three years, she really couldn't understand Xie Jingce any more.

"By the way, you don't have to call yourself 'subject' in front of me anymore. Just be casual."

After saying this, Xie Jingce disappeared into the darkness.

Jiang Wanyue looked at the direction where Xie Jingce left, thoughtfully.
