Chapter 69
On the second floor of Huafang, in the Nuan Pavilion where the singers of Ruanxiang Pavilion rest, Zhilan is sitting on a chair, holding in her hand the poem that Guo Teng has circulated.

"Sister." A gentle voice sounded, Zhilan looked up and found that it was Ruanxiangge's sister, a little girl named Jin'er.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Jin'er came to Zhilan, asked a question, and found the scroll in Zhilan's hand.

"The wind rolls the bead curtain..." Jin'er read a sentence, and then began to read silently.

As she read it, Jin'er's face changed, her originally laughing expression became cautious, and she asked Zhilan enviously, "Sister, is this the first poem tonight?"

According to the previous decision, if a good poem comes out of the poetry fair, it will be sung to Zhilan, no wonder Jin'er has an envious expression on her face.

Zhilan nodded, Jin'er lowered her head again, and saw the inscription under the scroll.

It's him... Guo Teng!
It really was him!Jin'er laughed, and said jokingly to Zhilan: "My sister is going to sing Mr. Guo's lyrics again. These years, my sister has sung Mr. Guo's lyrics a lot. Now! Everyone in Luzhou city says 'Tengci Lanwu' , complement each other'!"

Zhilan's face turned red when she heard the words, she rolled her eyes at Jin'er and said, "When others talk nonsense, you girl also booed! You clearly know that I only admire Mr. Guo for his literary talents!"

Zhilan is telling the truth, although beauties in this era like witty scholars, but Zhilan was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, although she was temporarily downcast and became a singing girl, her inner arrogance was still there, and all her thoughts were devoted to redeeming herself and getting rid of the brothel .

Regarding Guo Teng, Zhilan also knew his thoughts, not only Guo Teng, but all the talents in Luzhou were rarely surrounded by Zhilan.The fascination of these talented people for Zhilan is no less than that of the fanatical star-chasers of later generations, but in Zhilan's heart, this is not what she wants.

What she wants is freedom and dignity!Obviously, Guo Teng couldn't give them all.

Not to mention anything else, even if Guo Teng has the ability to help him redeem himself, can he give himself the status of a regular wife?If I were to be a concubine for others, my father would probably die of anger in Lingnan if he found out!
So after Zhilan blushed, she became serious again.

"Don't say such things in the future, Mr. Guo, alas!" Zhilan sighed, and said leisurely: "Impossible!"

"Oh!" Jin'er replied in a low voice, Zhilan didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and the little girl didn't dare to continue talking about this topic, and asked instead: "By the way, my sister got it." Ci, why don't you go out and prepare the lyrics?"

"Ah! I almost forgot." Thanks to Jin'er's reminder, Zhilan came to her senses, and hurriedly adjusted her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, and then went outside!

In the lobby of the boat, Xiao Mo saw everyone staring at him, spread his hands and said, "Uh, don't look at me, I don't know..."

After Xiao Mo finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhu Yunming again.

At this moment, in Zhu Yunming's heart, he could be said to be both angry and puzzled towards Xiao Mo. What was angry was because Xiao Mo acted like nothing to do with himself. What was puzzled was why Xiao Mo didn't admit it?
Don't you want such a chance to become famous?
He didn't know that Xiao Mo was actually afraid of trouble. Originally, the matter in Shen County was already a headache. Now that Hu Yunxue was invited by Zhao He again, Xiao Mo didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to say this. limelight.

One thing more is worse than one thing less, taking advantage of Zhu Yunming's doubts, seeing everyone's attention diverted, Xiao Mo quietly withdrew from the crowd, ready to slip away first.

It's better to hide from the limelight, wait until the poetry meeting is over, then go to Zhou Chang, ask him to help you to ask the prince!

Xiao Mo made up his mind and successfully slipped out of the crowd, but unexpectedly, a luxuriously dressed girl came across and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Where are you going?"

The girl asked, her voice not too loud, just enough for everyone to hear.

Xiao Mo paused, pointed to himself and asked, "Is it me the girl is talking about?"

"Bold!" The girl's complexion changed, and she said in a deep voice, "What is your name, princess?"

"Princess?" Xiao Mo asked in surprise, and then froze there.

It seems that things are a little complicated. Obviously, the princess came to stop him on purpose, but he doesn't know the reason!
The conversation between the two also attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao He separated the crowd, came to the front of Zhao Yao, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Zhao Yao had an angry expression on his face, and Zhao He certainly thought that his precious daughter was at a disadvantage.Just kidding, you actually dare to bully my daughter in front of this king. Could it be that you will be ashamed if you eat a bear's heart and a leopard?

After Zhao He came forward, Xiao Mo relaxed from his nervous mood.

The King of Huaiyin has a good name, Xiao Mo knows it, although he doesn't know why Hu Yunxue was invited, and he refuses to see him, and now he is standing in front of him with a livid face, but Xiao Mo knows that he is not worth it at all. If you offend the princess, as long as the matter is spread out, I believe Zhao He will not embarrass himself.

"Ziheng, what's going on?" Zhou Chang also rushed over and asked.

Without waiting for Xiao Mo to answer, Zhao Yao stepped forward and said: "Father, catch him quickly, don't let him run away!"

Why are you still arresting people?

Everyone became puzzled, Zhou Chang's face darkened, Zhao He's face also became dark, and looked at Xiao Mo, but he didn't give an order.

Zhao Yao panicked, and said: "Father, give an order quickly, he...he wanted to slip away just now, but I stopped him!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

What Xiao Mo wanted to slip away, but she caught her, this princess is quite interesting!

Zhou Chang was the same, although he was surprised, but he was also relieved, it seemed that Xiao Mo didn't offend the princess at all, so it's easy to say.

As for why Xiao Mo slipped away?
That Zhou Chang didn't know, not even the prince Zhao He.

The only one who knows is probably Princess Zhao Yao herself.

Zhao He was also a little embarrassed, he couldn't hold back on Zhao Yao's childish behavior. "What's the matter? He can leave if he wants to. Why are you stopping him?"

His face became even more livid, but this time Zhao He was angry at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao panicked, and said: "He...he is afraid that you will find out, he is the one..."

When it comes to general, Zhao Yao can't tell anymore.

In front of everyone, Zhao Yao couldn't say anything about Hu Yunxue, and for Xiao Mo, Zhao Yao only knew that he had written a poem in which there was a sentence, "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world." She stopped Xiao Mo completely. It's just out of curiosity about the relationship between Xiao Mo and Hu Yunxue!

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Yunming, who had come back to his senses, stood up and said to Zhao He: "I want to report to the lord, this person is Xiao Mo, in Shen County, he wrote that poem!"

Although Zhu Yunming knew that what he did would make Xiao Mo show off, but since Xiao Mo didn't want to show off, Zhu Yunming wanted to speak out about it.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yao seized the opportunity and quickly said to Zhao He: "Father, this man is dishonest. He wants to run away without humming a poem, and..."

"What else?" Zhao He became interested, not because of anything else, but because of Zhao Yao's reaction.

Could it be that my own daughter has taken a fancy to others?That's why he ignored his reserve and blocked Xiao Mo's way?
Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, Zhao Yao has a lively and intelligent personality, and has a high self-esteem. Coupled with her background, she has never settled on a marriage. This is also a heartache in Zhao He's heart.Zhao He saw Zhao Yao's anomaly this time, and after thinking about it, he stopped being angry, and instead looked at his daughter with great interest.

"Also, why didn't he write a poem tonight?" Zhao Yao pointed at Xiao Mo angrily.

"That's it!" No one dared to intervene in the conversation between the father and daughter. After Zhao He regained his mood, he spoke softly. "He is teaching, of course not for poetry!"

"What teaching!" Zhao Yao rolled her eyes and said, "I heard from my sister that he was originally a student of Shen County, and this time he came to the poetry meeting to compose poems!"

"Sister?" Zhao He understood.

At this time, on this painting boat, who else can make Zhao Yao call her sister besides Hu Yunxue?
Turning his head, Zhao He looked at Xiao Mo and asked, "You, tell me!"

Xiao Mo nodded and said: "I am indeed a student, but I have been sick at home for three years, and I have already left the county school, and now I am the county government's young man, this time I am indeed here to attend the poetry meeting on behalf of Zhu Weng!"

In this way, it was a matter of course, and Zhao He was impeccable, but Zhao Yao chose to be picky.

"I don't care, as long as you are not teaching, you have to compose poems. Listen carefully, my title is 'Yunxue'. Whether you compose this poem or not is up to you!"

Yunxue...

Xiao Mo was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Zhao Yao and stopped talking!
