My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Dongfang Changying pondered for three breaths.

His eyes fell on the paper again.

On the paper were the familiar charcoal handwriting, obviously written by him.

She didn't seem to care about the Ninth Princess's words "If this princess steals the bride", she actually recited:

“Everyone says it’s a perfect match, but I only remember the promise we made.

Facing the empty sky, the mountain hermit's crystal snow,

I will never forget the lonely forest of the fairy in the world.

Sighing for the world, I now believe that there is something missing from the perfect world.

Even if we are equals, it is still hard to accept!"

"A perfect match made in gold and jade, a perfect alliance made in wood and stone..."

Dongfang Changying raised her eyes to look at Tang Xianxian, then smiled and said, "As the Princess of Xingguo, do you really need to use the word 'rob'?"

"How many students are there in Xingguo?"

"Don't Kyoto have the Four Great Talents?"

"Your Highness, you've come all the way to Xiling City and are trying to eat from my pot...isn't that a bit too much?"

The change in Tang Xianxian's expression did not escape Dongfang Changying's discerning eyes. She knew that Tang Xianxian had fallen in love with Bai Shaoqiu!

This made her feel a little regretful.

But now the arrow has been drawn, and it seems too late for her to regret.

Besides, Dongfang Changying will never regret what she has decided!

She still hoped that Bai Shaoqiu could enter Kyoto, ask the emperor to withdraw the imperial edict, become famous throughout the world, fall in love with the girl named Lanlan sincerely, and then... marry her in a grand ceremony!

Tang Xianxian smiled sweetly, "So what if there are four great talents in Kyoto?"

"Is it their talent that this princess cares about?"

"Then why do you care about Shaoqiu?"

Dongfang Changying calls him Shaoqiu, which not only seems more intimate, but also shows that Dongfang Changying actually cares about Bai Shaoqiu.

Tang Xianxian sighed deeply in her heart, but her face was still as bright as a flower: "I'm just kidding!"

"Do you really think I'm like that nymphomaniac from the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"Besides, your husband is probably still in front of Shuxiang Gate, and I don't know if he can even reach Lanting..."

"Hey, hey, hey, let me ask you something."

Dongfang Changying felt a little relieved, "What's the matter?"

"Did you spend a hundred thousand taels of silver to bet on him to win?"

Dongfang Changying immediately denied it: "No, you know I'm poor, how could I have so much money?"

Also.

Dongfang Changying is said to have spent a large sum of money to equip her Changying Army.

The Changying Army does not belong to the Ministry of War!

Those were the three thousand girls recruited by Dongfang Changying himself!

I heard that they are all young, but they are all very skilled.

For their safety, Dongfang Changying spent a lot of money to get custom-made outfits for the female soldiers from the Ministry of War.

It’s not that the craftsmanship is different, it’s just that the equipment stored in the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War are all prepared for men.

The female soldiers are petite and cannot wear those equipment.

The weapons used by the Changying Army were all red tassel spears, but the bows and arrows they held were the same as those of the male soldiers.

These are Dongfang Changying's private soldiers.

She needs to support these three thousand private soldiers, which requires a lot of money.

Part of it probably came from the Zhenxi Palace, and the other part was probably what she got when she fought against the barbarians in the Western Wilderness.

She definitely couldn't come up with 100,000 taels of silver.

"Who could that be?"

Tang Xianxian frowned slightly and whispered, "Isn't this princess preparing wedding clothes for this man?"

Dongfang Changying smiled slyly: "Didn't you just say you didn't know if he could walk to Lanting?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the black-armored warrior arrived at the door of the house.

"Your Highness!"

Dongfang Changying turned his head, and Tang Xianxian looked up:

"Mr. Bai is from a scholarly family? Let me see his poems!"

"This... Your Highness, Mr. Bai has not yet passed the level of scholarly education."

Tang Xianxian was stunned: "He hasn't answered the second test yet?"

"No, Mr. Bai answered the questions and...scared the judge of the second test quite a bit."

Tang Xianxian suddenly laughed again: "What's the result?"

"As a result, he only got a B-low on his second test, and was eliminated by the teacher."

Dongfang Changying's eyes suddenly widened, and the laziness in his body disappeared.

She stood up suddenly!

Stand up straight!

Just like the spear she hangs in her house!

Tang Xianxian was also shocked: "What?"

"Second B?"

"How can this be?!"

"Where are the poems he wrote? Did he bring them?"

The black-armored guard bowed and said, "I have brought it with me, Your Highness, please take a look!"

An walked over, took a piece of paper from the black-armored warrior and handed it to Tang Xianxian.

Tang Xianxian glared at Dongfang Changying:

"Why are you so anxious? You were so reluctant just now, but now you look like you're ready to kill someone... You actually care a lot!"

Dongfang Changying raised his slender neck:

“World-class people!”

"Even if I want to bully him, it can only be me...not an outsider!"

Tang Xianxian waved:

"Okay, okay, let's take a look at what he wrote... Hey, he wrote a poem!"

Tang Xianxian didn't look at Dongfang Changying again.

She has been captivated by this poem:

"The Garden is Full of Fragrance, Spring Water Melts"

The spring water is melting, the spring mountains are vast and desolate, and light smoke covers the sky.

The railings of the dangerous building, facing the east.

There are flying flowers and falling catkins, dark fragrant grass, and clumps of green.

I sit idle and leisurely, and all the human affairs of the past hundred years are all in the painted boat.

My hometown, are you okay?

A stream of green bamboos, two paths of ancient pines.

There are also fish to be caught and sorghum to be pounded.

......"

She recited it twice in a low voice before slowly looking up at the black-armored guard:

"Such a good word, but the judge gave it a B?"

"Your Highness, that's right!"

A frost gradually appeared on Tang Xianxian's face. She looked at Dongfang Changying and asked, "What do you think of this poem?"

Dongfang Changying said two words without hesitation: "A-level!"

Tang Xianxian stood up and said, "Yes, if this poem can't get the top grade, what other poem in the world that describes late spring can get the top grade?!"

"That's unreasonable!"

"Who is the judge? Is he blind or just uneducated?!"

The black-armored guard bowed again and said, "Your Highness, the judge is the one who manages the library at Shangling Academy... Master Song!"

Tang Xianxian narrowed her eyes slightly.

She got it.

Master Song is Song Zigui's father!

Song Zigui and Bai Shaoqiu bet 10,000 taels of silver on who would be the winner of this literary competition.

Master Song was the judge of the second test. In order to ensure that Song Zigui defeated Bai Shaoqiu, he actually changed the poem that was ranked first to second!

This piece of shit!

You don’t know that this princess has staked almost all of her dowry at Jubao Money House!

If Bai Shaoqiu really didn't have the ability and failed at the second level, that would be fine, he could only consider it as a case of recklessness.

But Ming Shaoqiu's poem was impeccable, yet he gave it a grade of B...!

"It seems that there are also unqualified people in Shangling Academy!"

"Go and get Mr. Si... No, let's go. This princess will go to Lanting. Let Mr. Si and Mr. Fang decide this matter, so that no one can say that this princess is biased!"

She looked at Dongfang Changying: "Are you going?"

Dongfang Changying pondered for three breaths: "I'll wait for you here."

"Okay...you can't use violence!"

Dongfang Changying lazily sat down again, looking at the angry Ninth Princess and grinning:

"Am I such an unreasonable person?"
