The daughter of the minister's family claimed that she found this letter from a travel diary given to her by Su Ying before she died. She had expected something different, but because it involved the former crown princess, she did not dare to make it public. After much thought, she finally sent this letter.

Leave it to Mr. Cheng to decide.

Now Cheng Wu felt something strange in his heart. Looking at his granddaughter's still delicate face, for the first time he had some doubts about her success and separation.

"Grandpa, it's getting late. As the host, my granddaughter needs to arrive early and bid farewell to grandfather first." Cheng Cen picked up a cloth bag on the side, saluted and left in a hurry, leaving Cheng Wu standing there and closing his eyes slightly.

The poetry and calligraphy club is divided into two areas for men and women, separated by a thick gauze. Only vague shadows can be seen on both sides, but it does not prevent the voices from both sides from being heard. If there are good works, you can also cross over to appreciate them, so as to avoid suspicion and communicate.

Correct.

Poetry and calligraphy gatherings have a long history and were hosted by a group of famous talented men and women in Sui City. Before Cheng Cen came out of the government, he had shone in such poetry and calligraphy gatherings and later became one of the organizers.

This was the first time she hosted it in the name of the head of Rongan County. In addition to a group of old friends, there were also famous first-place finishers in the provincial examinations who came to participate in the Spring Festival. As soon as she arrived at the scene, it was inevitable to exchange greetings.

She had been keeping a low profile for too long, and finally found some satisfaction in the sound of people. How could she, Cheng Cen, just become a knife in the hands of others?

She finally had to catch her breath while preparing her pen and ink. When she walked behind the flower wall of the venue, a faint sound came from her.

"From the former princess to the county owner, her fortune is really endless. There are many abandoned women who have returned home, but there are still a few who are as ostentatious as her. I don't know how Mr. Cheng can make her show up."

"You don't know something. Your Majesty went to Hengshan Academy, probably to apologize to Mr. Cheng. Now that she has the favor of the emperor, my sister should be cautious. She, Cheng Cen, has always been very ambitious and resourceful. We would have known earlier.

Her true face, since this is the case, it is better to avoid her."

Cheng Cen's heart felt like she was about to burst out of her mind. Just by the sound of her voice, she knew that these two were her former close friends. They were actually hiding here to arrange for her. Just as she was thinking about whether to interrupt their conversation, she heard another person.

Said: "Her so-called talent and learning are nothing more than this."

"But everyone is pursuing him for Mr. Cheng's sake. If we really talk about it, we haven't learned even 30% of Mr. Cheng's skills."

"But my daughter's family is considered to be of high quality, but it's just not as great as outsiders say."

Hearing what they said, Cheng Cen felt extremely sad. She, who had always been so complacent, could not bear this tone. She was about to fight back when she suddenly heard someone say: "The princess and the consort are here. Let's go and greet them."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Cen suddenly calmed down. She was straightening her clothes, as if she hadn't heard what they said. She went to sort out her pen and ink first, and then she went to the courtyard. From a distance, she saw the pair of beautiful women.

.

The scene in the greenhouse seemed to have happened yesterday. Xiao Lingyao's every word made her heart burst into tears, and the overwhelming feeling of humiliation still surged in her chest. Cheng Cen was in his mind when Shi Ran came over and said, "I have seen the consort and His Highness."

If ordinary people didn't think there was anything wrong, Xiao Lingyao and Qin Feng discovered at the same time that Cheng Cen put the consort in front of His Highness when asking for courtesy. This move was quite concerning. Qin Feng was Princess Shang, and she and the princess were monarchs and ministers. Which one is higher?

Low, doesn’t Cheng Cen know?

If this was done intentionally, the former princess might not be as open-minded as she appeared on the surface. The two of them didn't notice this flaw and returned the courtesy without changing their expressions. Then they heard Cheng Cen say: "Everyone has arrived.

, please take a seat, everyone."

Xiao Lingyao followed the female guests into the arranged place in the courtyard. When she saw that the table was covered with written poems, she couldn't help but ask: "Is this for appreciation?"

After she exited the room, the scene suddenly became a little quiet. Song Qingyue, the younger sister of Song Qingming's family, Minister of Industry, was surprised and said: "Your Highness, the invitation stated that participants must bring a painting and calligraphy work."

Song Qingyue knew that her brother and the princess were on good terms with each other, so she was more courageous and not as worried as other female guests.

How could Xiao Lingyao miss a single word on the invitation? It didn't make this clear, and she knew in her heart that this was a plot.

Bai Qian and Cao Jing exchanged glances. Cao Jing's expression didn't change. Bai Qian almost wanted to take out the dagger. Cheng Cen was really lustful and wanted to covet the prince-in-law. This method was also used. It seemed that the poetry calligraphy society was targeting

His Highness’s Hongmen Banquet!

Xiao Lingyao's eyes didn't waver at all. She looked at Song Qingyue, who was only thirteen years old, but she was more interested. She had heard that Song Qingming had a little girl, but she had never met her. She must have been invited to participate in the poetry and calligraphy meeting this time.

Somewhat talented.

Although Song Qingyue was young, her eyes were very smart. She pointed out the invitation matter in a serious manner. Xiao Lingyao smiled from the bottom of her heart. She was worthy of being a member of the Song family. The other female guests had to think about it, but it was not like she just blurted it out.

"I think there have been a lot of banquets recently, and I have ignored them." Xiao Lingyao said lightly: "In this case, how can we break the rules? The county master should prepare paper and ink for me."

Is this written in preparation for the scene?

Song Qingyue looked at the princess longingly. She had long heard from her father and brother that Her Highness was a smart woman! Now there are no annoying carriages in front of the Song family house, which is all thanks to His Highness.

There was an imperceptible smile hidden in Cheng Cen's eyes. All the invitations were handwritten by her, but the one at Princess Mansion was different.

Over the past few days, she had been brooding over what happened in the greenhouse. If she couldn't fight back in the area she was familiar with, she would be hard-pressed to calm down from the last time. She responded meekly and got the pen and paper herself.

"Do you know that your poems are your own creations?" Xiao Lingyao looked at Bai Qian polishing the ink, still as neither humble nor arrogant as before.

This time, someone dared to answer: "Your Highness, the note on the invitation needs to be made new."

"Thank you for informing me, I understand." Xiao Lingyao smiled lightly, finally picked up the wolf brush, dipped it in ink, and started writing without hesitation. Watching the ink traces on the paper, Cheng Cen's eyes changed angrily!

Xiao Lingyao was a woman, but her handwriting was actually made of gold and gold!

The body of the knife is made of gold. Writing large characters is like cutting bamboo wood, and writing small characters is like gathering needles and nails. The writing is thin, strong and strong.

As graceful as a swimming dragon, as graceful as a startled giant!

When the female guests exclaimed, the male guests also heard the noise. Qin Feng had been listening to the conversation here and knew that the invitation had been tampered with. He knew that Cheng Cen must have done it to target Xiao Lingyao and was worried about her.

When you pass the test, you can hear the cheers.

He immediately stood up and said, "I don't know what poem Her Highness the Princess wrote. I have to see it for myself."
Chapter completed!
