Chapter 565: When did I say I wanted to participate?
"Why don't we compare poems?"
"Since the eldest prince is having a feast with hundreds of flowers today, how about writing a poem on flowers?"
"Hundred Flowers, Hundred Flowers, which flower should be the theme?"
The young master of the Shangshu Mansion turned his gaze to the protagonist Ji Nanyan: "How about letting the eldest prince ask the questions?"
Ji Nanyue had long wanted to see Ji Yunxie make a fool of himself, and since someone stood up for him, he was happy to watch the fun, so he naturally agreed.
"Let's take Peony as the theme."
"If he wins, I will give him the Jade Peony gifted by His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of many young gentlemen present lit up and they looked delighted.
It is well known that the eldest prince loves peonies, and he is also an expert in growing flowers and will only accept rare ones.
It can be said that almost all the top-quality peonies in the capital are in the eldest prince’s mansion.
The empress doted on her younger brother very much and would reward him with any good things. She also knew that her younger brother loved peonies, so she often gave him some rare flowers that were tributed from other countries.
Being able to receive the eldest prince's peony, which was bestowed by the emperor, is an honor and it is very face-saving to tell others about it.
So, everyone rushed to show off their talents.
After one round, it was Ji Yunxie's turn.
"Lord Beichen, it's your turn."
Facing those smug, provocative, and gloating looks, Ji Yunxie just found it funny and looked innocent.
"When did I say I wanted to participate?"
"what?"
Everyone was stunned.
Does not participate?
Ji Nanyue was secretly delighted, but her face darkened, as if she had caught Ji Yunxie's weakness and started to make things difficult for him.
"Does Prince Beichen look down on me and refuse to give me face?"
He seemed to be in a position to teach the other party a lesson if he admitted it.
Ji Yunxie pretended to be embarrassed, and said in a soft tone: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't write poetry."
Upon hearing this, the young gentlemen present were in an uproar.
"No way? A great king doesn't know the slightest bit of literature?" "Aru, is your elder brother really a good-for-nothing?"
“This is too embarrassing.”
"That's right. I thought he could say a few words, but he turned out to be a fool. I don't know what King Beichen likes about him."
……
It was as if she didn't hear the discussions, nor did she scold those ignorant men on Ji Yunxie's behalf.
Ji Nanyan pretended to be surprised: "I didn't know that Prince Beichen didn't understand poetry?"
"Your Majesty doesn't like to be pretentious, so I don't need to try to please him."
Those criticisms seemed to have no effect on Ji Yunxie. Ji Yunxie's face was calm and he was not affected at all, which made Ji Nanyue a little disappointed and dissatisfied.
Especially since the other party acted like he was showing off his favor, Ji Nanyue was extremely jealous.
"Oh?"
"I didn't know that King Beichen didn't like talented people."
Ji Yunxie raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of smiles, and said meaningfully: "My prince is the most lazy. If someone doesn't like her, she won't even look at him or her even if he or she performs well."
"The fact that I have received such great love from the prince is a blessing from my previous life. Others cannot envy me for this."
"Is it…"
Bitch!
Ji Nanyue glared at Ji Yunxie viciously, the jealousy in her eyes almost overflowing.
The banquet was already halfway through, but Di Ran still hadn't appeared.
Ji Nanyue felt deeply that she had been deceived!
Damn little bitch, actually playing tricks on him? !
Ji Nanyue was already annoyed because she didn't wait for her lover. She became more and more annoyed with Ji Yunxie, and new and old grudges came together.
Being narrow-minded, petty and vindictive, he immediately called his lackeys and gave them some instructions.
Looking at Ji Yunxie sitting in the corner, Ji Nanyue's eyes were filled with malice.
Ji Fengwu, who was distractedly paying attention to this side, saw this scene, her eyes flickered slightly, and she drank her tea without moving.
