Chapter 35 Okay, Okay, Let’s Play It This Way, Right?

After Wen Qinghe finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly erupted in the Jade Pavilion.

"Hiss, if it's not that Wen Qinghe?? Who else could it be?"

"This poem is very good. I guess it was borrowed from an unknown person. Who is this talented person who can write such a good poem?"

"Wen Qing and Bu have said it, but he can't do it. Could it be that some Confucian master or great scholar came here."

"It's impossible. Not to mention that people like the Master and the Great Confucian won't come here. If they do come and show up here, there won't be any news."

"What is going on? Who is the author of this poem?"

Everyone was talking a lot, and their eyes fell on the maid in red.

The maid in red, Hong Zhu, faced the voices of everyone talking, her expression remained unchanged, with a gentle smile on her face, she spoke slowly.

"The author of this poem is the prince."

Hongzhu whispered softly, her voice fell, and the audience fell silent for an instant.

Wen Qinghe's slightly angry expression suddenly froze, and his eyes opened slightly, showing a bit of disbelief.

He opened his mouth slightly, and the questioning words he originally wanted to say were all blocked in his throat. He couldn't say anything, he could only make the sound of "uh-huh".

"Your Majesty..."

"How could it be him..."

Wen Qinghe was confused. He had never heard that the prince could also compose poetry.

At the same time.

Countless people looked at each other, dumbfounded and speechless.

"Prince?"

"The prince can also compose poetry?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I've never heard that the prince can compose poetry."

"Where did the prince buy the poem? The quality of this poem is extremely high. I'm afraid that the prince spent a lot of money and I don't know who wrote this poem. It was actually able to be favored by Miss Bai. I only Let him pass the exam alone.”

"There can't be any coercion or inducement..."

"After all, he is the prince. Even if Bai Shuxuan saw that the prince might have bought the poem from someone else, he did not dare to tell it. Perhaps he also wanted to please him, so he let the prince go in alone."

"hiss……"

After a brief silence in the audience, quiet discussions began again.

Many people turned their attention to the private seats on the top floor, looking at the figure exuding a strong aura of nobility.

No one dared to speak. Facing the noble prince in the private seat on the top floor, they felt like there was a huge mountain pressing on their hearts, and they did not dare to show any impudence.

The entire Jade Pavilion fell silent.

But in this extreme silence, everyone's eyes revealed one meaning. They did not believe that this poem was written by the prince.

While everyone was daydreaming in their hearts, a soft voice sounded from the room where Bai Shuxuan was.

"Everyone, I believe this poem was written by the Crown Prince. With the Crown Prince's character, there is no need to resort to fraud."

The sound was as sweet as soaked in honey, making people feel comfortable and as pure as a clear spring.

There is an unexpected hint of coquettishness in this clear voice, which makes people think about it without feeling too artificial.

Everyone in the Jade Pavilion heard this voice and immediately realized that it was Bai Shuxuan's voice.

Bai Shuxuan chose to believe in the prince's character and at the same time raised him to the highest moral point.

The prince has a good character and will not do anything deceitful.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but beat their chests and lamented.

"Miss Bai really doesn't know the dangers of the world. Do you really think this poem was written by the prince?"

"I'm confused, I'm confused. I feel uncomfortable seeing such a simple courtesan."

"The prince's character? That's almost like none."

"Brother, do you dare to say such things to the prince's face?"

"Hey, there are so many of us here, and what the prince did is so obvious. If you whisper a few words, it's impossible for him to arrest all of us here."

"Hey, having said that, you should keep your voice down, otherwise you will be targeted by the Crown Prince and you will be doomed."

"But think about it, it's normal for the prince to do this. There are not a few of us who buy poems secretly. No matter what means he uses, his goal has been achieved."

The discussion downstairs became louder and louder as Bai Shuxuan's words rang out.

In the private seat, Qiao Songshan was originally happy that Cheng Guang's poem was selected by Bai Shu, but he did not expect that the purchase of the poem would be exposed the next moment.

In fact, whether they are exposed or not, it has little impact on them, but the boss’s face is basically gone!

Doesn't admitting to buying poems mean that his boss's character is not very good?

It is normal to do this kind of thing in secret, but if it is exposed on the table, even ordinary people will be ashamed, let alone the boss.

Even if no one dares to talk about the dignified eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's house, the little voice behind his back cannot be cut off.

"Damn Wen Qinghe! It's all his fault!"

Qiao Songshan was so angry that he wanted to go down and beat up Wen Qinghe again. Anyway, if he didn't decide, he would just beat Wen Qinghe.

But Cheng Guang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were fixed on Bai Shuxuan's position, and he chuckled with a playful smile.

"This white letter declares that it is interesting, but it is openly praised and secretly ignored."

"Praise openly and step on secretly? What do you mean?" Qiao Songshan's rough face showed a naive expression.

Cheng Guang didn't explain, just tapped the table and silently watched the situation develop.

With his status, if he said one more word at this time, he would appear to have no style. It would be fine if he took possession of a mere courtesan.

No matter how loud the poor scholar's discussion was, it would not affect him at all.

He did not care as much about face as Qiao Songshan imagined.

But caring or not caring is one thing, and whether he was being calculated is another.

At this time, Bai Shuxuan spoke again, and his voice, as pleasant as a clear bell, sounded.

"I believe that the prince has such talent. The poem he took out must be written by himself. If you don't believe it, you can ask the prince to write another poem of this level."

"Of course, even if the prince doesn't write it, I will choose the prince today."

When Bai Shuxuan said this, everyone was stunned.

Many people felt sorry for Bai Shuxuan's simple mind and felt that Bai Shuxuan was deceived by the prince.

How could this poem be written by the prince?

However, Cheng Guang smiled when he heard this.

Okay, okay, this is how to play, right?

Bai Shuxuan's words seemed to be flattering him from beginning to end, but there were traps everywhere.

If he couldn't write a poem, or the poem he wrote couldn't reach the level of the poem he had produced before, he would undoubtedly admit that the poem he had just produced was bought from someone else.

And this, in line with what Bai Shuxuan said before, doesn't it mean that the character of this prince is not very good?

Invisibly belittled his own character.

Bai Shuxuan also said that even if the prince couldn't write a poem, she would unswervingly choose the prince.

These words seemed to have wronged her.

This made the people around her feel a sense of regret and pity for her, as if she had been deceived, sold, and helped others count money.

After this incident, many people's good impression of her soared.

And what about herself?

She would also have some good impression of Bai Shuxuan because she always believed in her words.

Which man could refuse a woman who firmly believed in herself?

And she was a beautiful courtesan who was famous in Kyoto and sought after by thousands of people.

This series of wonderful operations made Cheng Guang exclaimed "Wow!".

If he hadn't seen through Bai Shuxuan's intentions beforehand, he would have really thought that Bai Shuxuan was just a naive person who blindly worshipped him.

Cheng Guang couldn't help but think about it.

Without knowing Bai Shuxuan's true face, he would have a good impression of her after seeing her series of operations, let alone the real prince?

It's no wonder that the real prince would become such a licking dog without any dignity in the future.

It's not that he is too good at licking, but because Bai Shuxuan's level is not ordinary.
