She thought she would make a fool of herself, but unexpectedly, the poems she wrote received unanimous praise from everyone, which disappointed her. Later, Lu Yu fell in love with her and came to ask for her hand in marriage.

But judging from what she just said, she definitely doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore.

Xiao Ruge didn't want to go up at first, so she just nodded along with her words, showing a bit of impatience on her face, "Writing poetry is not fun at all. Compared to writing poetry, I prefer practicing martial arts. Let Fourth Sister go!"

"Then I will be the younger sister!"

Looking at Xiao Mingyue's smug smile, Xiao Ruge nodded nonchalantly and started eating snacks.

Today she brought Baizhi and Xiaoshuang with her. The two girls stood obediently behind her. Xiao Ruge tasted the snacks and thought they were delicious. She picked up a plate and handed it to the two girls.

The two little girls immediately thanked him with a smile, picked up the plates and started eating, taking turns to eat.

Chunzhi, who was serving Xiao Mingyue, stared at her for a long time, then lowered her eyes and continued to stand there obediently.

Two male teachers from Muyuan Academy were invited to this poetry reading. Because there were also young ladies from various families participating, the organizers also invited two female teachers from Chunshan School to serve as judges.

With the sound of a bell, the competition began. The first question was to compose a poem about flowers, which would take the duration of one stick of incense.

Hearing this question, Xiao Ruge was a little surprised.

Although the time and place are wrong, the question is the same as in the previous life.

The poems written by Xiao Mingyue in her previous life were quite good. I wonder if she will use the same poems she wrote in her previous life this time?

The talented men and beautiful women on the scene showed off their talents. Some of those who were really talented finished writing in less than an incense stick of time.

Although Xiao Mingyue was a little slow, he finished writing quickly.

The first thing she went to do after she finished writing was to look at Xiao Ruge. Their eyes met and then separated, which made Xiao Ruge raise an eyebrow.

Shouldn't she go see Lu Yu first?

Soon, after a stick of incense, all the poems on the field were handed over to the judges. After some discussion among the four gentlemen, they selected the top three men and women respectively.

Not surprisingly, Xiao Mingyue was among the top three women and even ranked first.

When someone read out the poem written by Xiao Mingyue, Xiao Ruge discovered that she had plagiarized the poem she wrote in her previous life.

She was a little surprised, but felt it was reasonable.

Xiao Mingyue's favorite thing is to covet other people's things, even men, let alone a poem that she has not written in this life.

On the men's side, Duanmu Ling won first place. As expected of the prime minister's son, he was well-educated, handsome and received praise from many people.

Duanmu Ling shook his folding fan and said he dared not, looking like a very modest gentleman.

Princess Jianing also came today. When she saw Duanmu Ling won first place, she was happier than if she had won first place. The young sisters who came with her congratulated her one after another, making it seem as if the two of them were really together.

In the second and third rounds, without exception, Xiao Mingyue won the first place in the women's group, while Duanmu Ling won the first place in the men's group.

Because they were both talented and beautiful, they were inevitably forced into a couple, which made Princess Jianing very angry. She lifted her skirt and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the maid beside her.

No one knew what the maid said to Princess Jianing, but she did persuade her.

But according to Xiao Ruge's understanding, Princess Jianing would never give up.

Xiao Mingyue on the stage was looking at Lu Yu happily, not noticing at all that danger was about to come.

Xiao Ruge was like a spectator, watching everything happening in front of her. If she could ignore the glances from someone from time to time, she would be more excited to watch the excitement.

After the poetry reading, there was a garden tour. The location of the poetry reading had a nice view. There was a small lake not far away with several pleasure boats parked on the water.

After the crowd dispersed, some people immediately took a pleasure boat to cruise the lake.

Lu Yu followed a group of people towards the pleasure boat. When Xiao Mingyue saw him, she immediately came over to find Xiao Ruge.

"Second sister, shall we go take a boat ride? I saw lotus flowers blooming in the lake, maybe there will be lotus seeds!"

Xiao Ruge had already seen through her little thoughts and smiled.

"Great, I can pick some lotus flowers and put them in a vase at home."

Her invitation to me was just an excuse. After getting on the boat, she would definitely find a reason to get rid of me and go to find Lu Yu alone.

Xiao Ruge thought, maybe she could help her then!

The two of them, along with their maids, followed the crowd onto the pleasure boat. Surprisingly, Duanmu Ling and Princess Jianing were also there. Xiao Ruge also saw Mu Gu standing behind the crowd.

As for Mu Bo, he walked over as soon as he saw Xiao Ruge boarding the ship, and invited her with a smile to the bow to enjoy the scenery.

"Since the Fifth Prince has invited you, then Second Sister, go quickly!"

Xiao Mingyue actually agreed that the two of them should be together, so that Xiao Ruge wouldn't be able to snatch Lu Yu from her.

As for whether Mu Bo can finally take advantage of Xiao Ruge's power, that depends on whether Xiao Ruge can live to that time.

She was also scared to death when the assassin tried to kill Xiao Ruge last time.

It was not because she was worried about Xiao Ruge, but because she sneaked out at night to meet Lu Yu. If she came back a quarter of an hour later, she would be discovered by her family.

Fortunately, that time there was no danger.

Xiao Ruge followed Mu Bo to the bow of the ship. When she looked back, she found that Xiao Mingyue was indeed heading towards Lu Yu.

However, Lu Yu was not the only one standing in the direction where he was standing. Duanmu Ling was also there. I was afraid that Princess Jianing would be jealous again!

Xiao Ruge raised the corners of her mouth silently.

"The second young lady seems to be in a good mood."

Mu Bo happened to look back at her, and seeing her smiling face, he couldn't help but say something out of curiosity.

Xiao Ruge glanced at him and sat on a chair beside him.

"The scenery here is picturesque, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and naturally makes people feel good."

"I thought something happened that made the Second Miss happy."

Mu Bo sat next to her self-righteously. Xiao Ruge frowned, stood up and sat on the other side.

"Fifth Prince, it is better for us to keep our distance, so as to avoid misunderstandings."

The powerful big hand suddenly clenched, and the smile on Mu Bo's face became a little stiff.

He was a prince, and he had already been so servile to her, but she still refused him? How ungrateful!

If she wasn't still useful, she should be allowed to go to the underground to meet her stubborn old grandfather!

Mu Bo endured it again and again, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

He smiled casually, "I thought I had made it very clear last time. I like you. If you are willing, I can make you my principal wife!"

According to Xiao Ruge's current status, the position of the queen is already a promotion for her.

He hoped that Xiao Ruge would agree to him.
