There was no need to compete in zither and dance. The performances of Bai Chuxiao and Princess Lingxiang were both amazing, and everyone agreed. The Spring Banquet was mainly to select the winner among the noble ladies. For the young masters, it was just a place to have fun. After all, their competition was not about this.

As the maids distributed paper and pens, everyone started to write. The princes and princesses who were in a high position naturally would not sit there and do nothing. They also chose one item on their own. They would not judge but just circulate it to everyone for review.

Bai Chuxiao thought about it and decided to copy a poem. She knew nothing about painting, and calligraphy was just so-so. She searched her mind for a while, and then she stopped hesitating and started writing.

Soon, the time was up. The maids filed out and sorted everyone's paper and ink and presented them to the master. They also distributed the works of the princesses and princes to everyone for circulation. The eldest princess wrote a poem, the second princess painted a picture, Princess Lingxiang did not participate, the crown prince wrote a calligraphy, the king of Qi wrote a poem, the king of Xiang and the king of Yan both painted a picture.

Bai Chuxiao looked at the painting made by Chu Tianze in her hand. He drew a picture of a soldier at the border. A general wearing silver armor was riding a white horse, holding a silver spear, followed by several blood-stained soldiers. He was looking into the distance, surrounded by corpses.

She couldn't help but admire that the painting was really well done. She couldn't help but look at Chu Tianze. Unexpectedly, Chu Tianze was also staring at her with a smile on his face. Bai Chuxiao felt a little puzzled.

But she didn't know that Chu Tianze was holding her poem in his hand:

Zhao Ke's Hu Ying is slender, Wu Gou is bright with frost and snow

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a meteor

Kill one person in ten steps, never stay for a thousand miles

事了拂衣去,深藏功与name

Chu Tianze had never seen such a woman before. The more he understood her, the more he found her unique. In the first few times they met, he just liked Bai Chuxiao's personality. After what happened today, he had a deeper appreciation for her. She really walked into his heart step by step. For the first time, Chu Tianze felt the feeling of being moved. He couldn't stop smiling and just wanted to hold on to this fiancée who belonged to him.

After a while, the eldest princess announced, "Ms. Bai Chuxiao of the Bai family ranked first in poetry, Miss Liu Shuyao of the Liu family ranked first in painting, and Miss Kong Xihan of the Kong family ranked first in calligraphy."

After that, she handed the three works to everyone for circulation. Bai Chuyun happily said to Bai Chuxiao and Kong Xihan, "You two sisters are amazing!"

Kong Xihan replied, "It's just because of the rules. In the past, each person had to do two things. My calligraphy is still not as good as Liu Shuyao's. Xiaoxiao, you are the hidden talent."

Bai Chuxiao felt guilty, but she was just relying on her memories from her past life. She herself did not have so much knowledge, so she just smiled and said nothing. Bai Chuwan also drew a picture, but she was good at playing the piano and dancing, so she did not win any prize this time.

After everyone read it, they felt that Bai Chuxiao had indeed written a good poem, but as a woman, she seemed to have too much murderous aura today.

The prince suddenly laughed and said, "Miss Bai's poem is very well written, which matches the seventh brother's painting perfectly." Bai Chuwan and Li Zhirou felt uncomfortable when they heard the prince praising Bai Chuxiao, but they felt relieved when they thought that she was already engaged and posed no threat to them.

The eldest princess also smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that Xiaoxiao and Seventh Brother are really a match made in heaven."

Chu Tianze also smiled and praised, "Xiaoxiao is indeed excellent in every way."

When Bai Chuxiao heard the word "Xiaoxiao", she felt goosebumps all over her body. What did the King of Yan mean? Did he like her?

The eldest princess announced loudly, "The winner of this spring banquet is Bai Chuxiao, the eldest daughter of the Bai family." Then she called Bai Chuxiao again, and Liu Shuyao and Kong Xihan stepped forward and gave her gifts respectively.

Then, everyone slowly dispersed. Bai Chuwan left with the Crown Prince and the Second Princess, while Prince Xiang left with Liu Shuyao. No one else was seen.

Bai Chuxiao, Kong Xihan and Bai Chuyun were walking together when a cute girl in a lotus-colored dress came over to greet them. "Hello, Sister Bai. I am Lv Youyou from the family of the Minister of War. Sister Bai is really good at writing." She smiled and said, "Sister Xihan is also good at writing. Can Youyou be friends with Sister Bai?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Of course you can." It would be good to make some friends with cheerful personalities. Then she introduced Bai Chuyun to her, "This is my third sister, Bai Chuyun."

Lu Youyou called out sweetly again, "Hello, Sister Yun'er"

Kong Xihan joked, "Why, do you only want to make friends with your sister Bai?" They knew each other before they were in Kyoto, but Lu Youyou was young and had not been out much before.

Lu Youyou smiled foolishly, "Of course, Sister Xihan is also Youyou's friend."

As they were talking, they walked to the door. Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "It's getting late today. Let's make an appointment to go out and play together another day." After they greeted each other, they got on the carriages.

Just as Bai Chuxiao was about to go up, she heard King Yan's voice coming from the side, "Xiaoxiao, can I take you back?"

Bai Chuxiao also wanted to ask something, so she agreed and told Bai Chuyun to take her carriage back, and then she followed the King of Yan into his carriage.

"What play did His Royal Highness Prince Yan sing today? He acted like he liked me in front of others, but we just met for the first time, didn't we?" Bai Chuxiao broke the silence and asked with a faint smile.

Chu Tianze put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, that's not a show, I really like you"

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "You don't even know me, how can you say you like me?"

Chu Tianze suddenly took out a wooden hairpin and said, "How do you know I don't know you? This is not the first time we met."

"It's you. When I met you today, I thought your eyes were very similar to mine. But you are good at disguising yourself. Your aura is completely different." Bai Chuxiao snorted coldly. This King Yan is actually Xue Wuyun. No wonder...

In fact, King Yan did not want to reveal his identity as Xue Wuyun so early, but Bai Chuxiao was too dazzling today, and he felt uneasy. He just wanted to get closer to Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, so he took out the hairpin.

In fact, Bai Chuxiao didn't hate him. After getting to know him, he really felt that Prince Yan was not bad. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You said that if you marry me, I will be the only one from now on. Was that a joke?" A Prince Yan who doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines, it's okay to get along with him, right?

Chu Tianze looked at her and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, I am serious about what I said. Now that I have chosen you, it will only be you from now on."

Bai Chuxiao looked at his determined eyes and couldn't help but believe it a little bit. She felt a little bit excited in her heart, but she was not someone who fell in love at first sight.

So I looked at him and expressed my attitude, "This is very important to me. If you can do this, maybe we can spend more time together."

King Yan was delighted and said with a smile, "Of course I can do it. Xiaoxiao, can you call me Tianze from now on?"

As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped, and the left prime minister said

"Let's talk about it next time," Bai Chuxiao said and hurriedly got off the carriage...
