The old lady was lucky to have survived this time, but what if Doctor Xu was not in the capital?

The consequences could be disastrous!

"But Lingxi..."

"enough!"

Song Junling wanted to plead for Lingxi, but Xu stopped him coldly.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Song Xiwan quickly said, "Brother, do you insist on Lingxi being here before you are willing to take Xiwan to this poetry gathering?"

Soong Junling was slightly stunned.

He was afraid that Xi Wan would misunderstand and be sad, so he quickly explained, "I just thought it would be more lively with more people, not that I don't want to go with you."

"Then can Big Brother take Xi Wan with him?"

Song Xiwan looked at Song Junling with anticipation.

In her previous life, she didn't spend much time with her elder brother. The scene that left the deepest impression on her was the scene where her elder brother died on the sword for her. She had dreamt of this bloody and terrifying scene repeatedly for the next three years.

Now that she has the opportunity, how can she miss it?

"of course can!"

Soong Junling agreed immediately.

Xu Shi couldn't be angry with Song Junling anymore, so she just reminded him, "Take good care of your sister."

"Definitely."

Song Junling sent someone to prepare a carriage, and the two of them went out together.

On the way, Song Junling introduced her, "This is the poetry gathering held every month at Yunhe College. Many students gather there to exchange ideas. If you're lucky, you might even meet Master Shen for guidance."

Master Shen was the most knowledgeable person in the Great Xia Kingdom and was admired by students all over the world.

If you can catch his eye, you are really lucky.

For example, the current King Xuan is Master Shen’s favorite student.

Not only that, Song Xiwan also knew that this poetry gathering was one of the ways out for most children from poor families. Whether they could study or become an official in the future depended on whether they could excel in the poetry gathering.

"Wouldn't today be very lively?"

"Of course, big brother, I came back as fast as I could just for this poetry gathering."

Song Junling answered with no objection, glanced at his sister, and changed his tone, "No, the main reason is to see you, and the poetry gathering is second."

Song Xiwan couldn't help but smile.

While they were chatting and laughing, the carriage had already stopped in front of the Yunhe Tower, which belonged to the Yunhe Academy.

Song Junling has always been a prominent figure in the capital. When he appeared, many people looked over and were surprised by his return and the stunning woman standing next to him.

Having seen her at the palace banquet, he recognized Song Xiwan at a glance.

The news that Song Xiwan had recently amazed everyone with a landscape painting called "Lonely Boat" and was even appreciated by the Emperor and Prince Xuan had already spread.

The brother and sister instantly became the focus.

But there are still many people who remain skeptical. How can a homeless fool have such ability?

A graceful man walked out of the crowd and asked with a smile, "Brother Song, I didn't expect you to come back. Is this your sister?"

Song Junling straightened his back and replied, "Yes, it's my sister, Song Xiwan."

Song Xiwan's eyes turned cold.

Zheng Linlang!

Because he came from a poor family, he later deliberately framed his elder brother for cheating.

The others looked at each other with different expressions.

Zheng Linlang's eyes fell on Song Xiwan, he was first surprised, then felt regretful.

It’s a pity that she is not a real lady from a noble family.

Zheng Linlang smiled and asked, "I've heard that Miss Song is incredibly talented. I wonder if we can have a chance to see her today."

Before Song Xiwan could reply, someone else said sarcastically, "Brother Zheng, you're bullying me. How could such a masterpiece be created casually? It must wait until the palace banquet to be displayed."

Song Xiwan raised his cold eyes and glanced over.

This is Lin Yang, a kid from a poor family who has a good relationship with Zheng Linlang. He also came forward to prove that his elder brother cheated.

All the enemies have gathered today!

Song Xiwan's face turned cold, "Oh, didn't the palace banquet invite you two?"

As soon as these words came out.

A sinister glint flashed in Zheng Linlang's eyes.

Lin Yang also gritted his teeth and questioned: "Miss Song, are you relying on your recognition as a member of the Song family to look down on me, a child from a poor family?"

The self-esteem of both of them was shattered.

Song Junling's face was gloomy.

Why are these two people talking so sarcastically today?

Before Song Junling could even open his mouth, he heard his sister retort sarcastically, "I just asked a question, and you're so defensive. I'm impressed."

Song Junling was a little surprised. It seemed that his sister was not an easy person to deal with either.

"What do you mean?!"

Lin Yang suddenly became furious.

Song Xiwan looked at him coldly, "Today I am attending a poetry gathering, not your criticism meeting. Do I look down on you, a poor disciple, or do you look down on me, the legitimate daughter of the Song family?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole place fell silent.

Especially since he knew Lin Yang quite well, he knew that this person always considered himself superior and looked down on children from aristocratic families.

In fact, everyone understands what they are thinking, but it’s just envy and jealousy?

Zheng Linlang saw that the situation was not going well and immediately stepped in to smooth things over. "Hey, everyone, please be patient. Today is a poetry gathering, and of course we should make friends through poetry."

Everyone was tactful and quickly entered the building. There were several tables inside, and in the front was an area for people to display their works.

Song Xiwan sat down next to his elder brother.

Song Junling couldn't help but glance at her twice and whispered to comfort her, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to be like this."

Song Xiwan shook her head, "No problem."

My eldest brother has been a disciple of a noble family since he was born, and my father has had a smooth official career over the years. Even if these people don’t like my eldest brother, they will of course flatter him and wait for the opportunity to give him a heavy blow.

But she is a woman, and a legitimate daughter who is living away from home.

These two people were of average education, but they felt that their family background was preventing them from rising to prominence, so of course they wanted to vent their anger on her.

As soon as I sat down, someone exclaimed.

"King Xuan is here!"

Song Xiwan's body stiffened slightly. Before she could even look up, she heard someone say, "Miss Su is here too. These two actually came together."

Su Xunyao is the most talented woman in the capital.

Xie Chengqian is also a famous general.

Hearing that Prince Xuan and Su Xunyao were in love and were about to get engaged, their appearance naturally caused quite a stir.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Song Xiwan felt a little depressed.

Why do I always run into Xie Chengqian recently?

In his previous life, Song Xiwan did not have much contact with Su Xunyao, and most of the information he heard was from outside. Su Xunyao always liked to wear plain clothes and light makeup, and was devoted to studying. She was the beauty in the hearts of many talented men.

These two people are indeed a good match. She was too naive in her previous life.

For Xie Chengqian, there is no such thing as true love in exchange for true love.

"No need to be so polite. Today I am here to visit my teacher."

Xie Chengqian's cold voice once again stirred up quite a stir.

Someone exclaimed, "Master Shen will come today?"

No one cared about the gossip anymore, they just wanted to get guidance from Master Shen.

Su Xunyao, who came in later, smiled and replied, "Yes, I heard that Master Shen recently obtained a painting by Tianya Zhenren. His Highness Prince Xuan and I are here for this purpose."

The real person of Tianya!

The students all showed expressions of surprise, thinking that today's trip was really worth it!

Xie Chengqian's eyes fell on the cold figure, and his heart sank.

Is she here for that guy?
