Qiao Yanqi’s eyes widened with disbelief. This woman must have memorized it in advance! It was impossible for her to have come up with it herself. She had already investigated it. Xu Qing was born and raised in the village. She wasn’t educated at all, nor did she know etiquette! What poems could such a woman know? What right did she have to stand by Brother Hui’s side? She was only ruining Brother Hui’s life by standing by Qiao Yanhui’s side!
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Qiao Yanqi’s mind. She kept comforting herself that the ball would continue to fall into Xu Qing’s hands. When Xu Qing finished memorizing the poems she had prepared in advance, she didn’t believe that Xu Qing would have any other way to deal with today’s situation! This had just begun.
Before anyone could recover from their shock, the next round of the game continued. It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but the ball landed in Xu Qing’s hand again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXu Qing saw Qiao Yanqi’s smug gaze and played with the wine glass in her hand with a mocking smile. Xu Qing believed that it would be her every time in the future! Even if she didn’t compose a poem, Qiao Yanqi would still make it fall into her hands. In that case, what else could she do? She was fed up! Xu Qing threw the embroidered ball to Xu Hanxue to play with and gave her a “you don’t have to return it” expression. Then, she stood up and looked down at everyone.
At this moment, Xu Qing’s gaze became more and more like Qiao Yanhui’s. She had a high and mighty aura that looked down on everyone else. ????????????????ℯ???????? c????????
When the three children heard this, they looked at their mother excitedly because they knew that their mother didn’t want to coax them anymore. These people would get served!
Xu Qing smirked cockily. “I realized that I’m very fated with this embroidered ball today. No matter how it gets passed around, it will eventually reach me. In that case, I’ll compose a few more poems!”
She didn’t give anyone a chance to speak and directly composed more than twenty poems in one go. Even the most famous scholar, Mr. Bao Hongyi, couldn’t compare to Xu Qing!
When Mr. Bao Hongyi was young, he was Master Lei Ping’s disciple. Back then, Bao Hongyi was the top scorer on the examination, which made Lei Ping proud for a long time. After all, if the students did well, he, as a teacher, would be proud. However, later on, Bao Hongyi became too conceited and the path he took was completely inconsistent with Lei Ping’s. Lei Ping became discouraged and decided to retire to Nine Lakes Town. At the same time, he swore never to take in any disciples again.
However, in the past two years, there was news that Master Lei Ping, who had sworn an oath back then, had actually taken in disciples again. Moreover, they were two commoners who were farmers! They had no prominent status at all. This shocked the public, and many people mocked him. They mocked the current Lei Ping for only being able to hang out with lowly people!
Of course, Lei Ping was Lei Wangshu’s grandfather. Although Lei Ping was no longer an official, he still had a lot of influence since the Lei family still had connections. After all, Lei Wangshu’s father was an official.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Yin family had originally tried to curry favor with Lei Wangshu. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen Lei Wangshu. Unfortunately, Lei Ping was an upright person and disdained these things. He didn’t want to help the Yin family take any shortcuts. This was also why the Yin family found someone else to curry favor with later on. After all, even if the Lei family didn’t accept bribes, others would. Who would complain about having too much money?
Everyone present felt that Xu Qing’s poems were all her own, and they had never seen Xu Qing’s original world. Moreover, who would prepare so many poems in advance? She could even say the meaning behind every poem. Even if she had prepared them, she couldn’t have remembered so many! Who had such a large reading volume?
“Do you want to continue? I can come up with more poems about chrysanthemums. Of course, if you think you’ve heard enough about chrysanthemums, I can change it to lotus flowers, peonies, peony… anything! I wonder if you’re interested in listening?” Xu Qing asked innocently and kindly.
The Eldest Princess couldn’t help but smile. She picked up the cup to conceal it.
Qiao Yanqi, who was sitting beside the Eldest Princess, was so angry that her face turned livid. Her nails dug into the nanmu chair under her! When the servants came to clean up at night, they would probably see a row of nail marks on the nanmu chair!
