"My lord, I can do something but I won't say anything." Li Wang said angrily in embarrassment.
Xiaonuituanzi made a face at Li Wang: "You have to think clearly before you start on my territory."
"The young prince seems to have not remembered the lesson learned last time."
Slowly turning his head sideways, Li Wang met Jiu'er's half-smiling expression.
The feeling of the punches and kicks on his body that day and the seven consecutive days of pain were still fresh in Li Wang's memory. The maid in front of him was clearly an evil star, and he couldn't help but back away.
Mrs. Ruan accompanied Yuan Xia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law outside and was about to go in when they heard the conversation inside.
Yuan Xia glanced at Jiang Shuyun, and she couldn't help but blush and lower her head. Li Wang had simply lost the face of Prince Jing's palace.
Mrs. Ruan turned around and made a gesture of invitation. Princess Jing nodded. They did not enter the flower hall but walked towards the garden.
"I'm going to apologize to Mianmian first. The little girl spoke so freely. I'll teach her a lesson later." Mrs. Ruan said first.
"What are you apologizing for? It's all my fault for that bastard boy from my family who is twenty years old and still bullies your little girl. I will teach him a lesson and give you an explanation." Princess Jing said angrily.
The Crown Princess Jiang Shuyun saluted Mrs. Ruan: "It's all my fault for not teaching Li Wang well. Please forgive Mrs. Ruan."
"To tell you the truth, the biggest headache for the prince and me now is Li Wang." Princess Jing Yuan Xia held Mrs. Ruan's hand with worry on her face, "I want Li Wang to come to the Hou Mansion often."
Mrs. Ruan was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "Welcome, welcome."
"The children in your house seem to be very nice, and I hope they can imitate them more or less."
Jiang Shuyun also thought her mother-in-law's idea was a good one: "Please ask the old Marquis and the old lady to be more considerate."
She wanted to refuse but couldn't open her mouth when she saw the eager eyes of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Ruan could only nod in agreement.
Jiang Shuyun immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Ruan."
"Let's start with the ugly talk. Let's not interfere in the children's affairs unless necessary." Mrs. Ruan gave Jiang Shuyun a special look.
"Please rest assured, Mrs. Ruan." Jiang Shuyun made up her mind this time, "Li Wang is the oldest. If he dares to mess around in your house, he deserves to be taught a lesson."
Princess Jing Yuan Xia nodded: "Shuyun, you finally figured it out. Don't worry about Li Wang's marriage all day long. If he can figure it out, there is no need to worry about not having a good wife."
Li Wang in the flower hall had no idea that his grandmother and mother would "sell" him in just this moment.
How boring it would be to just sit there like this. Ruan Mianmian suggested that the men and women compete in poetry across the screen.
The rules of the competition are very simple. An object is designated as the topic, and both men and women recite poems. The winner accepts the challenge of the other party until he is defeated.
Li Wang looked embarrassed. In terms of age, he was at the front, but in terms of knowledge, he was definitely at the bottom among men and women.
A single biography of the three generations of Prince Jing's family. Li Wang was destined to inherit the throne and become Prince Jing when he was born. He had not read the book seriously, and to put it bluntly, he could only recognize a few words.
He wanted to run away, but it was obviously inappropriate to leave at this time, so Li Wang could only be patient and pretend to be calm while listening to the men and women fighting poems.
I thought that men with poetry and poetry would have an advantage, after all, there are many young men from aristocratic families here, including many students from Tiandao Academy.
The result was unexpected. Five or six people on the women's side stood up and performed a few songs, and then it became Ji Ji's special performance. She challenged all the men on her own.
In the end, it became a one-on-one duel between Ruan Jin and Ji Ji. You played a song and I played a song, and they were equally matched.
No matter who did it, Ruan Mianmian clapped his little hands and cheered loudly, and soon everyone followed suit.
Li Wang was dumbfounded. He liked to eat, drink and have fun with a large group of people and find it lively. He didn't expect that reciting poems could be so lively.
At first he endured it, but when everyone burst into warm applause, Li Wang also clapped his hands.
Originally, Li Wang hated Ruan Jin, and he took away the person he liked that day, but gradually he was infected by the atmosphere and hoped from the bottom of his heart that he could win.
After going back and forth, Ruan Jin and Ji Ji actually wrote seven or eight poems each. Ruan Mianmian was hesitant before to show off his hand, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.
I didn't expect that my eldest brother had such real talent and learning. It seems that he has a good chance of getting a good rank in the imperial examination.
I didn't expect Sister Ji, a purdah woman, to be so knowledgeable, but it's not surprising considering that her family is very knowledgeable.
Li Wang unknowingly moved to the edge of the screen, and took a stool to sit on the side. He looked at Ruan Jin and Ji Ji, and clapped his hands from time to time.
"Master Ruan is eight times more talented."
"Miss Ji is superior in skills."
"I'll admit defeat." Ruan Jin and Ji Ji said in unison.
Ruan Mianmian said loudly: "It's a tie, it's a tie, you two should stop being modest."
"Yes, it's amazing." Li Wang said loudly.
After he finished speaking, Li Wang realized that everyone's eyes on the left and right sides of the screen were focused on him.
"The young prince is right!" Ruan Mianmian saw that Li Wang was embarrassed and helped him out.
"The little princess said it well!" Li Wang blurted out.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled together. The grudge between them before seemed to slowly disappear.
At this time, someone from the front came to urge them, saying that the banquet had already begun, and asked the princess to take everyone to eat.
After lunch, the guests were sent away. Ruan Mianmian was very tired. She was listless, holding Zhou Yuning in one hand and Lin Bingying in the other. She was about to go back to Yanlongyuan, when she looked up and saw Ruan Chan coming from there.
"Uncle, what are you thankful for?" Ruan Mianmian blinked.
Glancing at Zhou Yunning, Ruan Chan didn't want to say more: "I've moved back to Hengwuyuan, so I'll come over when I have time."
"Okay, I'll take the time to bother my uncle." Ruan Mianmian said without any politeness.
Ruan Chan smiled and nodded slightly at Zhou Yuning, then turned and walked towards Hengwu Courtyard. At this time, Ruan Jin and Ruan Zhao came out of the hall and saw their father walking in front and quickly caught up with them.
"That's great." Lin Bingying said with emotion.
Ruan Mianmian raised his head and glanced at Lin Bingying: "Master Lin should go home, do you want to go back?"
After thinking for a while, Lin Bingying lowered her head: "Princess Princess, does he know that I am at the Ruan family?"
"Sister Lin, don't think too much, wait until your father comes to pick you up."
Zhou Yunning patted Lin Bingying's hand: "Listen to Mianmian, don't think too much."
The most important thing was done, Ruan Mianmian relaxed and yawned, Jiuer simply picked her up and walked forward.
Princess Jing Yuan Xia and Crown Princess Jiang Shuyun took Li Wang into the carriage. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hesitated for a moment before telling him what they had said to Mrs. Ruan before.
"Okay." Li Wang answered simply.
Jiang Shuyun said cautiously: "Wang'er, what your grandmother means is that you first go to Ding'an Marquis Mansion to walk around more, get closer to the young masters, and listen to the teachings of the old Marquis and the old lady."
"I know." Li Wang crossed his hands on his chest and said calmly. This chapter has been completed!
