"Okay, the poetry reading has begun, let's hurry over there." Yang Huai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

My goodness, the current Queen's sister, Princess Ningde, actually wants to salute him!

If the people in the palace knew about this, would he still be able to survive? !

I heard that Princess Ningde was bullied by a few girls from official families in the academy, and the Empress punished that girl's entire family!

He didn't know which family he belonged to, but his official position was higher than his father's.

"Miss Shen, is this your first time attending a poetry reading like this?" Qiao Enxiu didn't know Shen Qingxu's identity and spoke to her as she had just done.

"Yes, I have never participated in any poetry meeting before." Shen Qingxu answered truthfully.

She used to live the life of a beggar, and after returning to the capital, she didn't know many people and didn't like to go out, so it's not surprising that she didn't know.

Moreover, she felt that she was just a half-baked person, so she shouldn't come and make a fool of herself. She was not very interested in this kind of poetry reading, so naturally she didn't pay much attention to it.

If Gongsun Jiayan hadn't brought her here as a female companion today, she probably wouldn't have thought of taking the initiative to get involved in something like a poetry gathering.

"You are so lucky today. There is a poetry meeting here during the day, and a lantern festival on this street at night. All the young talents and noble ladies in the capital will gather at the lantern festival." Qiao Enxiu didn't say the rest.

This lantern festival can be considered a blind date event in disguise.

Lovers will light lanterns together on this day and pray for a long-lasting love.

"Thank you Miss Qiao for telling me."

After entering the poetry gathering, Shen Qingxu couldn't help but speak carefully, for fear that she would say something vulgar and inappropriate, which would make people think she was uncultured. After all, as Gongsun Jiayan's female companion, she didn't want to embarrass him and make him laugh.

In front, Yang Huai and Gongsun Jiayan were talking in low voices.

"Brother Gongsun, are you serious? That's the princess!" Yang Huai frowned, having a guess in his heart.

"How can you not be serious? Her Highness the Princess is well-behaved and cute, smart and clever, and I love her very much." Gongsun Jiayan always looked gentle and modest.

But in Yang Huai's opinion, this look is a big problem.

And there is a huge problem!

"Brother Gongsun, don't be stupid. That's the princess, the Queen's beloved sister. If you do anything, the Queen will not let you go!" Yang Huai reminded him again because of their many years of friendship.

He was really worried that Gongsun Jiayan would go astray.

He knew Gongsun Jiayan's family background, and he also knew some things about Gongsun Jiayan.

The two of them entered school together, worked hard to gain honor and success in the imperial examinations, and they sympathized with each other along the way.

Gongsun Jiayan is his good friend and also a role model that leads him forward. Whenever he feels tired and doesn't want to work hard, he looks at Gongsun Jiayan. Such an outstanding person is still working hard, so how can he have any reason to be decadent and not make progress?

Gongsun Jiayan was excellent in appearance, character, academic performance and poetry writing. After entering Daliang Academy, Gongsun Jiayan became a benchmark that they could not match. Even the Taifu said that if Gongsun Jiayan continued like this, he would be the most likely person to win the top prize in this year's special examination!

Moreover, Gongsun Jiayan has a secret crush on someone, and he knows it!

"Brother Yang, I like Her Highness the Princess. Don't worry, I know what's going on. Maybe I did have some plans before, but after getting along with her all the way, I know how good the Princess is." Of course, this is a good premise, that Shen Qingxu is the Princess.

She is also the Queen's favorite sister.

When Yang Huai heard Gongsun Jiayan say this, he could only sigh.

"As for Jin Yan, have you thought of an excuse?"

"Brother Yang, I, I just admire Miss Jin's talent! I don't have any intention of being romantic!"

Yang Huai felt sad. Forget it. It’s hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.

Gongsun Jiayan considers himself noble, but now he suddenly behaves like this. If he says there is no conflict, he doesn't believe it. Besides, some things, if not done well, will only lead to self-destruction!

He looked back at Shen Qingxu who was still chatting happily with Qiao Enxiu, and couldn't help but sigh, this naive and simple princess!

If the princess has feelings for Gongsun, she hopes he can weave his lies forever and let the princess be immersed in this lie forever.

After the poetry reading started, people were coming and going, it was so lively!

Shen Qingxu herself was not very interested in poetry and songs, so this poetry reading was extremely boring to her.

But it was different for Gongsun Jiayan.

He wrote poems and exchanged ideas with many scholars, compared calligraphy with each other, and discussed his own gentlemanly ways and state governance strategies.

During this process, Shen Qingxu and Qiao Enxiu also understood why Gongsun Jiayan and Yang Huai became close friends.

The two people have the same opinions, the same values, and are very compatible in all aspects.

As long as the other party makes a suggestion, the other party can completely pick up the conversation.

The poetry reading lasted until the evening. Everyone had dinner and stayed for a while before leaving with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Shen Qingxu and Qiao Enxiu have been discussing topics between girls. Although it is boring, it is not boring either.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Gongsun Jiayan bowed to Shen Qingxu apologetically.

"It's okay. I'm having a great time chatting with Miss Qiao!"

"Yes, Miss Shen and I hit it off right away!" Qiao Xiuxiu said as she stood beside Yang Huai. Yang Huai took the opportunity to tell Qiao Enxiu Shen Qingxu's identity.

Qiao Enxiu's heart was pounding. Did she say anything bad just now?

But seeing that Shen Qingxu was also smiling, he felt relieved.

The two then chatted about some harmless things, but Jonghyun chose his words carefully.

Shen Qingxu didn't hear any difference, and the two of them continued to chat happily.

"Let's go. It's getting late. I'll take you to see the lantern festival." Gongsun Jiayan and Yang Huai nodded goodbye, then took Shen Qingxu away and headed to the street where the lantern festival was held.

Yang Huai looked at Shen Qingxu's back, sighed, and asked Qiao Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, if one day you find out that you have been deceived by someone, and that person only uses you and has no sincerity towards you, what will you do?"

Qiao Xiuxiu looked at Yang Huai in confusion and said, "Did you lie to me?"

"What are you thinking? How could I lie to you? I was just saying if."

"Me? I will hate the person who lied to me. If someone expresses his feelings again in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to open my heart to him."

"Will you be sad alone in the end?"

"Haha, anyone who cheats on my feelings is playing tricks on me, so I will definitely deal with him. If my status and position are not as good as his, I will climb to a higher place and kick him into the dust! Anyone who dares to cheat on my feelings, I will make him pay!" Qiao Enxiu looked at Yang Huai. She was a smart person and knew who Yang Huai was talking about, but she also meant to warn Yang Huai by saying this.

"Xiu Xiu looks like this, I'm a little scared!"

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door! What, do you have a purpose towards me too?"

"Yes, I am in love with your beautiful face! Would you be willing to accompany me to see the world's prosperity?" After saying that, Yang Huai bowed to Qiao Enxiu.

"It depends on your performance!"

"I only love you in this life. If I am unfaithful, I will be poor and depressed for the rest of my life!"

"That's what you said. If you break your oath, I will lend you a helping hand and make sure you become poor and depressed! Hahahaha..."

"That's my karma!"

Seeing Yang Huai watching Shen Qingxu and Gongsun Jiayan leave, Qiao Enxiu said, "You should stay out of other people's business..."

"Oh, I hope Brother Gongsun takes it seriously." Yang Huai really shouldn't interfere too much in other people's affairs.

"Come on, I'll take you around." Yang Huai stretched out his hand, interlocked his fingers with Qiao Xiuxiu, and the two of them walked towards the brightly lit place together.

Shen Qingxu turned around to see if Qiao Enxiu and Yang Huai had left. If they hadn't left, she would invite them to go shopping with her!

But she saw the two of them walking away hand in hand. Shen Qingxu felt warm inside when she saw them like this, and she wished the lovers would finally get married.

The lights are coming on, the lights are bright!

Shen Qingxu followed Gongsun Jiayan to stroll around the lantern festival...

There is a lantern festival in Liang'an City before and after the New Year. There is also a fifteen-day New Year's Day, after which it is the new year. When it comes to the Lantern Festival, another lantern festival will be held. It is the grandest lantern festival in Daliang. The emperor and the empress will pray at the lighthouse, blessing Daliang with good weather, peace and prosperity!

Shen Qiuchi said that he would take her to the lighthouse during the Lantern Festival to see the beautiful scenery of the entire Liang'an City.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" This is Shen Qingxu's first time visiting the lantern festival since arriving in the capital!

Although there were also lantern festivals in Liangcheng, she and Xu Xingyi just watched them for fun at that time. Their main purpose was to beg for alms when there were many people at the festival. They simply did not have the leisure time to visit the festival seriously.

Besides, the Lantern Festival in Liangcheng is indeed not as good as that in Beijing!

"Thank you for accompanying me to the poetry meeting today. I will buy all the lanterns that you like and give them to you. I hope you will not despise them and consider it a small token of my appreciation." Gongsun Jiayan has a handsome appearance, gentle temperament and a deep voice full of temptation.

He is so lovable under the bright lights!

There was more light in Shen Qingxu's eyes. This Gongsun Jiayan was so much like the male protagonist in the storybook!

At this moment, she admitted that she was somewhat moved. She was an ordinary woman, the beautiful Gongsun Jiayan, the gentle Gongsun Jiayan, the beautiful Gongsun Jiayan who was like a banished immortal.

Every move, every frown and every smile are exactly like her ideal partner!

Moreover, seeing Gongsun Jiayan's starry eyes and expectation, she couldn't say anything to refuse.

The two of them had a harmonious atmosphere at the lantern festival.

After the martial arts competition, Xu Xingyi and Mu Yunzhou were looking for Shen Qingxu so hard that they were fuming!

"Where on earth will Gongsun Jiayan take Qingxu?" Xu Xingyi was extremely annoyed!

They had been searching for almost a day since the competition, but still could not find any trace of Shen Qingxu and Gongsun Jiayan, as if someone had deliberately erased their traces!

"I don't know! We have almost turned the whole capital upside down, but still can't find it!" Mu Yunzhou sat on a stone pillar beside the bridge. He was almost dying of exhaustion. He had only had breakfast since morning!

He didn't even have a chance to drink water. Xu Xingyi acted as if he was seriously ill. He was not allowed to rest at all. Even the donkey pulling the mill was not so tired.

"Where will they go?"

"Let's look for it some more. I have a feeling that Gongsun Jiayan, that show-off, will bring Shen Qingxu to the Lantern Festival." It must be said that Mu Yunzhou's intuition is quite accurate.

After searching for nearly an hour at the lantern festival, the two finally saw the two familiar figures on the Lover's Bridge.

Lover's Bridge is usually just an ordinary bridge, but during festivals or lantern festivals, it will have another name, Lover's Bridge.

It is said that if lovers make a wish on the bridge, they will stay together for life.

Xu Xingyi looked at the two people on the bridge, and a string in his head suddenly broke!

By the time Mu Yunzhou reacted, Xu Xingyi had already rushed over.

On the bridge, Gongsun Jiayan stared at Shen Qingxu's eyes very seriously and affectionately, and slowly said: "Princess, today is a beautiful day, I would like to take this opportunity to..."

But the words are not finished...
