"Okay, everyone stand up." The queen said to everyone.

Only then did everyone get up.

No wonder this girl remained calm in the face of the pressure from the Grand Princess. It turns out that her biggest backer is here!

"Princess Kangle? Doesn't that put her on par with Princess Kangning?"

"So it's true. I heard about this from my grandfather and thought it was just a rumor. It turns out she was really named a princess."

"A girl from another family can also become a princess. Song Jinxiu has caught the emperor's eye. She is so lucky and so enviable."

"Well," the eldest princess hummed, looking at Song Jinxiu, and said, "Since the emperor has promised you not to kneel, then you should do as you please. Don't betray the emperor's grace. Go sit aside."

The girl is too arrogant and doesn't know her place.

Do you think you can do whatever you want with the emperor's favor?

Humph! Little did they know how many talented young men in this imperial city had perished without their knowledge.

A pillar of the nation?

Humph, it is scary to have grown up to be a pillar of society, but some pillars of society are destined to die young!

The eldest princess clearly disliked Song Jinxiu's attitude, while the emperor openly protected her.

Everyone looked at each other and quietly kept their distance from Song Jinxiu. It was best for them to wait and see what would happen next when the gods started fighting.

Song Jinxiu didn't care. She knew that no banquet was a good one, and it was actually a good thing for these people to stay away. This saved her from having to be distracted by social activities.

Tian Yuanyuan looked at her enviously, "Sister Song is so amazing."

Wei Lanrong frowned and whispered, "Dr. Song has offended the princess, which is not appropriate. The princess is not a generous person. Even with the emperor's protection, she should be careful."

Song Jinxiu glanced at her and said, "So, you two should stay away from me."

Tian Yuanyuan giggled: "I'm not afraid. My aunt is Concubine Wei, and my uncle is General Dingguo. They dare not do anything to me."

Song Jinxiu's eyes flashed, she suppressed the smile on her lips and looked at Wei Lanrong.

Wei Lanrong said helplessly: "This damn girl is so arrogant, if I say I'm afraid, you won't believe me, right?"

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I believe it. After all, it's easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Wei Lanrong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "With your words, I'm not worried anymore."

She thought she was a hopeless person, but it turns out she knows everything. In this case, she will wait and see how Dr. Song will deal with the next challenge.

Cui Zixuan was shocked. She only knew from Li Wan that this was a village girl.

But could a village girl possess such power? Could she be crowned a princess by the emperor? Perhaps there was some new trend in the upper class society, and Li Wan just didn't know about it.

She asked the Princess of Danyang County with a puzzled look on her face, "Who is this person? He's so arrogant! I've been away for ten years, and I had no idea when such a person appeared in the capital?"

The Princess of Danyang County snorted coldly: "Humph! Don't look at her small size, she is very powerful!

It's said that the soybean oil we eat was invented by her, and now she's been named the chief doctor of mathematics because of her multiplication table. Don't you know, with the emperor's protection, she's so impressive in class!

As the Princess of Danyang County was speaking, she suddenly looked at Cui Zixuan and said, "By the way, aren't you a disciple of the Xuantian Sect's headmaster? I heard from my grandfather that the Xuantian Sect's headmaster is best at Kantian and mathematics. Since you have inherited your master's true teachings, you are definitely better than her!"

Princess Kangning said, "Yes, if Miss Cui were to surpass her, the Emperor would definitely remove her Chief Doctor of Mathematics and give you the position."

Danyang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the emperor only values her talent. Miss Cui's talent is definitely superior to hers. Let's see how she can still hold the position of Doctor of Mathematics when the time comes."

"Well, I wonder how she can still be so arrogant without the title of Chief Doctor of Mathematics."

Cui Zixuan's heart was beating fast.

Both the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and her master's Kantianshu (astronomical technique) rely on the assistance of mathematics, so she has been focusing on mathematics training since she was three years old.

It was also because of his outstanding mathematics that he stood out in the family and was sent to Xuantian Sect.

If she became the chief doctor of mathematics, she would be the first female official in Cangwu.

She nodded confidently, and bowed to Princess Kangning, saying, "Don't worry, Princess. Xuan will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Li Wan said with a smug look on her face, "Sister Cui, if she wants to defeat her, won't it be easy? I can't wait to see her become a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating her."

Princess Kangning frowned: This girl is so unruly. Why are you butting in when the master is talking?

Li Wan gently pushed Cui Zixuan, waiting for Cui Zixuan to introduce her to the nobleman, so that she could show her face in front of the nobleman.

Maybe you will get the favor of a noble person!

But at this moment, Cui Zixuan's heart was not with her at all.

She looked at Song Jinxiu and clenched her fists with determination.

Song Jinxiu felt a strong sense of malice and glanced at the woman next to the Princess of Danyang County.

She heard the conversation between this woman and the Grand Princess just now.

This woman is a disciple of the leader of Xuantian Sect, and the leader of Xuantian Sect is a true disciple of Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi. Doesn’t that mean this woman is his own grand-disciple?

Tsk! Why is a disciple so full of malice when we first meet?

Then he took another look at the meaningful smiles of Princess Kangning and Princess Danyang.

Needless to say, these people must be plotting against me!

If one plan fails, come up with another one?

Song Jinxiu glanced around and discovered a strange phenomenon.

This chrysanthemum banquet is actually divided into different factions.

The noble faction headed by Princess Kangning is one faction, the talented women faction headed by Chen Yaer is another faction, then there is the neutral faction, and the few people on my side can also be considered a faction.

Chen Yaer was invited to the Imperial City Division for tea. After returning home, she became depressed and fell ill. She came to attend the Chrysanthemum Banquet just after she recovered.

When she heard that Song Jinxiu had also come to the chrysanthemum banquet, she immediately became as eager to fight as a fighting cock.

Humph! I may not be as good as you in mathematics, but when it comes to poetry and songs, you are probably not even worthy of carrying my shoes.

She swore that she would definitely dampen Song Jinxiu's limelight at the Chrysanthemum Banquet and make her leave with her tail between her legs like a clown.

Wei Lanrong also noticed the malicious intent of these two factions. She whispered a warning, "Dr. Song, you've offended Princess Kangning and Chen Ya'er. Did you know that this Chrysanthemum Banquet is their home turf?"

Tian Yuanyuan also frowned and said, "Chen Yaer's title as the most talented woman in the capital is not false. She always takes first place in the women's school. If she makes any unreasonable demands to challenge you in poetry and song, you must not agree."

If you agree, you will lose, and even if you lose, the emperor cannot use his power to suppress others.

Song Jinxiu smiled and nodded. "Sister Xie Tian, Sister Wei, since I'm here, I'm not afraid. No matter if it's the Hongmen Banquet or the Seven Killing Formation, I, Song Jinxiu, will take it. If they get angry, I'll cause a big disturbance at the Peach Banquet and make them lose face."

Tian Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. "Sister Song, have you also heard of Journey to the West? I just heard about Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in Heaven yesterday. It was quite interesting."

She rolled up her sleeves and said, "We are indeed kindred spirits. I will join you at this Hongmen Feast and I will fully support you."

She then said to Wei Lanrong, "Cousin, come along too. You have the Emperor's support anyway."

Wei Lanrong asked helplessly, "I'm afraid they're coming with bad intentions, and we have no way to deal with them."

Song Jinxiu said, "There's no point in being afraid. When the enemy comes, we'll fight them with our soldiers and when the water comes, we'll block it with earth. You two, start cracking some sunflower seeds and wait for the show."

As expected, Princess Kangning stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Song, the man next to me is the Xuantian Sect's head disciple. He wants to challenge you in mathematics. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Everyone was in an uproar, and even the emperor looked over with interest.
