Quick Travel: The Story of Your Highness's Pampering of Her Husband

Xu Ye couldn't think of anything wrong with what she said, and she didn't understand why her cousin was so angry. However, she always listened to her cousin's words, so she said "I'm sorry" obediently.

Glancing at Lin Ziran, Xuanyuan Xi was convinced that this child could guess that he was sick, and that it was a rare disease like "lovesickness", mostly because someone around him had a similar situation.

And this similar person...

Xuanyuan Xi narrowed her eyes, looked at Xu Ye and asked gently: "Do you think I'm good-looking?"

Xu Ye nodded blankly.

"Do you think many men will like me?"

nod.

"Do you think I will be hesitant among many young masters, not knowing how to choose?"

Although Xu Ye didn't know why the other party repeated her words, she vaguely knew that she was in trouble, so she answered all questions and nodded obediently again.

Then, Xuanyuan Xi sat up straight, looked at Lin Ziran meaningfully, and said, "I thought Miss Lin had recovered from a serious illness, but then I realized that Miss Lin is lovesick!"

"I didn't expect that Miss Lin looked at Duan Fang and turned out to be... tut, tut, tut."

With two simple words, Lin Ziran's suppressed cough broke out again.

Xu Ye looked at Xuanyuan Xi with confusion and doubt in his eyes, and asked, "How do you know that my cousin also suffers from lovesickness?"

Xuanyuan Xi made a "swipe" sound, put away the folding fan, tapped it lightly in the palm of his hand, and said enigmatically: "Don't ask too many questions, the secret must not be leaked."

I don't know which young master it is that can make the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs feel lovesick. Maybe he can use this opportunity to make some operations.

Xu Ye, a simple-minded little girl who had grown up pampered, looked at Xuanyuan Xi's appearance as a worldly master, nodded, and actually believed it.

"I see, you are so awesome, you can even deduce that your cousin is lovesick!"

Lin Ziran's face was red, and he couldn't tell whether he was coughing or blushing.

She reached out and patted her cousin, and said fiercely: "Shut up!"

Before Xu Ye could express his grievances, Xuanyuan Xi said in a tone of defiance: "Hey, someone is so angry that he is so embarrassed."

His little head turned to his cousin, Xu Ye blinked his eyelashes, his bright black eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Ziran reached out to cover his cousin's eyes, and said tiredly: "Just calm down, okay?"

She didn't expect that she, who had always been gentle, decent and polite, would be humiliated in such a big way in front of Miss Xiao, whom she had just known for less than half an hour.

Lin Ziran felt ashamed and wanted to hide his face and leave immediately.

When getting along with others, remember to keep the conversation simple and deep. We are only a little more familiar than strangers, so just make fun of them. There is no reason to hold on to them.

Therefore, when Xuanyuan Xi saw the other party's discomfort, he directly changed the subject and said: "Then Miss Lin is here today also to participate in the competition and to accept Mr. Bai as her teacher?"

Lin Ziran saw that the other party skipped that really embarrassing topic and started talking about serious things, so he straightened his face, pretended that nothing had happened, and replied seriously: "This is natural."

"Mr. Bai is a great talent and famous all over the world. It is the dream of many students of my generation to be able to become his disciple."

Xuanyuan Xi asked with great interest: "Oh? So, Miss Lin is confident that she can win the first place in the three competitions?"

When Lin Ziran heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said hurriedly: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I dare to claim to be the leader. It's just to learn more and gain knowledge from others."

Xuanyuan Xi said with a smile: "Miss Lin, don't belittle yourself. Before everything is decided, anyone may be the lucky one."

"If you give up before fighting, you will first be weaker than others in terms of momentum. If you are a scholar, you should be determined to forge ahead."

Lin Ziran was thoughtful after hearing this.

My mother once said that although she was educated and courteous, she lacked any sharpness and was too weak to be bullied.

Unexpectedly, Miss Xiao could see this not long after they met.

It seems that her temperament is indeed too soft.

After pausing for a few breaths, Lin Ziran handed over his hand and said, "Miss Xiao is very good at every word, and I have benefited a lot from you. I wonder if Miss Xiao will also participate in these three competitions?"

Xuanyuan Xi shook his head and said, "Just take a look, I have no intention of participating in the competition."

Putting aside the previous episode, the two of them chatted back and forth.

"By the way, I still don't know what these three competitions will test each school for?"

"I know, I know." Xu Ye saw that the two of them were chatting happily and seemed to be abandoning themselves, so he hurriedly interrupted and said to Xuanyuan Xi: "The competition is about poetry, strategy, and painting."

Lin Ziran glanced at his cousin, but did not say anything more, but continued to explain to Xuanyuan Xi: "In addition to being knowledgeable, Mr. Bai is also an expert in poetry and painting, so in this three competitions, Mr. Bai wants to Select the disciple who suits her best."

Xuanyuan Xi nodded, "These are two types of talents: talent and talent. Both are given a chance."

"Yes, we demote talents in any way. As long as there is one aspect that can impress Mr. Bai, he may be accepted by Mr. Bai."

The two chatted for about half an hour about some of Bai Lao's poems and articles. During this period, more and more people gathered in the Zhuangyuan Building and became more and more noisy.

The shopkeeper brought a lot of small wooden stools from nowhere, and although there were not enough tables, everyone was able to sit down.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Bai is here," and the extremely lively crowd immediately fell silent, stood up spontaneously, moved their stools, and made way for an aisle.

An old man wearing a navy blue robe, with gray hair but a rosy complexion walked in and walked straight to the judges' table that had been prepared long ago.

Behind Mr. Bai were several old men of similar age, and two or three middle-aged women, all of whom should be judges.

Bai Lao sat in the middle, and the others dispersed to both sides and took their seats safely.

All the students present bowed their hands respectfully and bowed. Xuanyuan Xi did not do anything that was eye-catching, and joined the others in bowing their hands.

Bai Lao smiled and said: "There is no need to be so polite, everyone sits down, everyone sits down."

After sitting down again, taking advantage of the noise of the stool moving, Xuanyuan Xi lowered his voice and asked, "Is it time for the competition?"

Lin Ziran didn't make a sound, only nodded slightly.

Xuanyuan Xi held his chin in one hand and held the tea cup in the other. He looked at the central field that had been cleared away. Standing there were nearly a hundred students in different postures. They were licking their guts and composing a song about "early spring" within a quarter of an hour. of poetry.

These competitions do not set any threshold, and anyone who wants to sign up can participate, as long as you have the courage to show your masterpiece in public.

Therefore, although there is no limit, the number of people who really have confidence in themselves to participate in the competition will only exceed [-].

Lin Ziran thinks that she has no talent in poetry or painting, so she is participating in the second policy competition. At the moment, she is sitting quietly to calm down and recharge her batteries.

Xuanyuan Xi did not disturb the other party, but made a silent gesture towards Xu Ye and waited quietly.
