Chapter 33: The Poetry War

Princess Mingyue didn't expect that Mei Yunshang would intercede for Su Yijin, it stands to reason that the two of them don't have any intersection on weekdays, but today is a small punishment for this woman, if she still doesn't let her go, the matter will be big, and the queen mother will blame herself, so she pushed the boat down the river and said: "Sister Mei is really kind, okay, I'll go and make some preparations for the poetry meeting first." ”

Seeing that Princess Mingyue's figure had gone away, Mei Yunshang immediately squatted down, helped Su Yijin up, and said, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

At this time, Su Yijin's kneeling legs had already lost sensation, and she stood up tremblingly with the support of Mei Yunsheng, her legs still trembling.

"You've already figured out who I am?" With Mei Yunsheng's expression of no surprise just when he saw him, Su Yijin came to this conclusion.

Mei Yunshang nodded, sat opposite her, and handed her a handkerchief: "Sister, wipe your sweat." ”

Su Yijin wiped the handkerchief on her face a few times, looked at the phoenix embroidered on it, and didn't think much about it, so she said, "I'll return it to you after washing." ”

"No, I'll give this handkerchief to my sister." Mei Yunshang looked at her tired and embarrassed face, her eyes were full of distress, "My sister is suffering." ”

Su Yijin put the handkerchief in her pocket and said, "Thank you sister for helping me out today, otherwise I don't know how Princess Mingyue will torture me." "Planted in Mingyue's hands twice in a row today, Su Yijin was indignant in her heart.

Mei Yunshang hurriedly made a "shhhh ”

Su Yijin felt tired, and she didn't feel comfortable for a moment in this palace, so she saved the topic again: "I don't know when my sister knew my identity?" ”

It stands to reason that the original owner stays at home, and the nobles of the court have no chance to see her.

Mei Yunshang hid her face and smiled: "Three years ago, I went to Su Mansion to visit Mrs. Su, and I happened to meet my sister, although no one told me the identity of my sister, but I guess it must be my sister." When I saw my sister on the street that day, I recognized it. ”

Su Yijin smiled bitterly: "It turns out that from the beginning, you recognized me and even gave me gold to help me." ”

But this kind of goodness made her feel uneasy, there is no good for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason.

"But why?" However, on the one side, Su Yijin didn't believe that Mei Yunshang would like her, could it be that she also fell in love with his almost perfect brother?

Mei Yunsheng's eyes were complicated, and he said: "I often give porridge to the poor, and people often ask me, 'Why do you want to do this?' When I saw my sister in distress, I wanted to help me on my own, for no reason, just instinct. ”

Su Yijin never thought that Meiyunshang, who was born in a powerful family, had a heart as pure and kind as milk, which is really rare in the world, and he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's my sister who thinks too much." Su Yijin felt guilty, in this era, it is not easy to meet friends who are sincere to her, no matter what, she must also maintain this friendship.

"It's okay, my sister has doubts, and it's human nature, but I originally asked my sister to help treat my aunt, but I didn't expect my sister to enter the palace and take risks, and my sister couldn't live with my sister." After Mei Yunshang finished speaking, a few tears swirled in his eyes.

It turned out that she knew everything, Su Yijin hurriedly said: "Sister, don't blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you, and now that everything has passed, nothing happened to me." ”

Mei Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The poetry meeting has begun, and it's not good if we are late." ”

The two rushed to the garden, at this time, Qinxiang Garden had already gathered many noble ladies, and everyone was enthusiastically composing poems and appreciating poems, and Su Yijin's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Who is this?"

"I don't look like a palace maid in dress, I don't look like a mother, and I don't look like an official lady in makeup, how can a casual woman enter the princess's bedroom?"

"Could it be that she was also invited by the princess? Why don't we all know each other? ”

Su Yijin looked at the crowd who were talking about herself and pointing at her, and saw two familiar faces.

Su Yiling, who had not seen her for a month, had lost a lot of weight and was also a lot haggard, and when she saw her, her eyes were full of resentment.

Ling Dong'er opened her eyes wide and looked at her in surprise, these days Concubine Ling and the Imperial History Mansion sent people to look for her in vain, but they didn't expect to meet in the palace again, and they were extremely curious and puzzled about her identity.

"Cousin." Ling Dong'er walked up to Mei Yunsheng and asked quietly, "Why is she here?" ”

Mei Yunshang also whispered: "You'll know later." ”

At this time, Princess Mingyue, who was dressed up, also entered the garden, very satisfied with everyone's comments on Su Yijin, and deliberately said: "Oh, Miss Su, what's the matter with you?" What's wrong with the makeup? What's wrong with the hairstyle? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several noble ladies couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Su Yijin was tired and weak, and without saying a word, she sat directly on the stone stares on the side, ignoring all kinds of malicious eyes around her.

She had already thought about it, if Princess Mingyue asked her to kneel again, she would simply fall to the ground and pretend to be dead, with the queen's attitude towards her, presumably this delicate princess would not look at it, and in the end, see who passed by whom.

The aristocratic ladies didn't expect Su Yijin to be so rude in front of the princess, and they talked about it again.

"Miss Su? Could it be Su Yijin, the eldest daughter of Su Fu? ”

"I heard that she has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she has never been out of the house, so no one has seen her true appearance, why did she come to the palace today? Looking at her complexion, she doesn't look like a person who has been sick for a long time. ”

"Oh, she is Su Yijin who was robbed by the flower thief, wasn't she ruined by the flower thief? How can you still have the face to participate in the poetry appreciation meeting, I am really not ashamed. ”

"She thought she was the prince's fiancΓ©e, so she could be so rude, how can a woman who has lost her virginity be worthy of being the crown princess, you wait and see, when General Su returns to the court, the emperor will definitely order the cancellation of the marriage contract."

"That is, in terms of appearance, talent, and temperament, which of her worthy princes is now that she has lost her virginity, she dares to enter the palace to be embarrassed, if it were me, I would have hanged myself a long time ago."

The more the aristocratic women spoke, the more unpleasant it became, but the more Princess Mingyue listened, the more satisfied she became, and she threw a look of contempt at Su Yijin with her head held high.

At this time, Su Yiling walked up to her and said, "Sister, why did you enter the palace too?" I knew that the princess had also invited her sister, so she should have entered the palace with her sister. ”

Su Yiling's words immediately confirmed everyone's conjecture, and the eyes of the nobles became extremely contemptuous.

"My sister recovered from a serious illness, so she hurriedly entered the palace, did she want to see someone? But isn't my sister's current fiancΓ© the second son of Meifu? Su Yijin regained some of her physical strength and immediately choked back.

Su Yiling immediately blushed, and wanted to get angry but couldn't, so she had to hold back and say: "Sister, what are these words, the princess invited me to participate in the poetry appreciation party, what does it have to do with others?" Besides, isn't my current situation due to my sister? ”

"By me? Is my sister mistaken, I didn't do anything, I'm not as capable as my sister, I don't belong to you, and I just grabbed it. ”

"You ......" Su Yiling just wanted to be angry, but Princess Mingyue stopped her and glanced at her.

Su Yiling had no choice but to suppress the anger in her heart and glared at her fiercely.

"Okay, now that everyone has arrived today, our poetry appreciation will officially begin."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." As soon as Princess Mingyue finished speaking, the eunuch came to report, and then Ye Tingchen's slender figure appeared in front of everyone with a vast entourage.

The aristocratic ladies showed expectant and shy smiles, they were very difficult to see the prince on weekdays, but they were bent on dreaming of the princess, and now they saw the handsome prince who walked out of a dream, and their heartbeat rose rapidly.

Although Ye Tingchen was accustomed to the reactions of the aristocratic ladies, he still couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and the feeling of being looked up to since he was a child didn't allow him to feel a little frustrated.

But when his gaze was fixed on Su Yijin, Su Yijin didn't take him in his eyes at all, his eyes looked at the flowers on the side, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Tingchen's best mood was ruined by her sneer, and he didn't understand himself, why did the prince of a country go against a general's daughter everywhere, and now it seems that this woman who never puts herself in her eyes doesn't know what to do and angers him everywhere.

It's not that she deliberately embarrassed her, it's that she angered herself everywhere, and Ye Tingchen made a good excuse for what she did.

And his former sweetheart, Su Yiling, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and really wanted to throw himself into his arms desperately and release his grievances for many days, but he ignored her existence, and his eyes were full of Su Yijin's sneers and contempt.

Su Yiling looked at Su Yijin, and the depths of his eyes were filled with hatred.

Ye Tingchen deliberately ignored Su Yiling's gaze, after a long talk with the queen mother, he already understood that the woman he loved in the past was about to become someone else's wife, as a child of the royal family, he could only gain if he gave up, and he couldn't entangle with her anymore, otherwise it would affect the inheritance of the throne in the future, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Love seems so insignificant in front of the throne, he is amorous, but by no means dedicated.

After everyone finished saluting, Princess Mingyue excitedly walked to Ye Tingchen's side and said, "Brother Prince, how are I preparing for this poetry meeting?" At present, he has been spinning around the embarrassed Su Yijin.

"Good, I'm satisfied." Ye Tingchen, who had been deflated by Su Yijin's hands, saw Su Yijin being bullied, and his mood was cloudy and clear.

"I declare the official opening of today's poetry appreciation meeting. In the first session, each lady made a poem within five steps on the spot, and finally the prince selected the best poem. ”

All the young ladies were confident, and almost unanimously looked at Su Yijin, as if they were all interested in seeing how she made a fool of her.

Su Yijin saw that every young lady could write a poem fluently within five steps, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, daring to love that all of these ancient young ladies were talented women.

In the end, it was Su Yijin's turn, Su Yiling mocked: "Sister, it's your turn, you have been weak and sick since you were a child, and you have not been taught by Mr. with me, if you can't do it, it's normal, I think you should quit, and you can save some face, everyone can understand." ”
