Amidst the crowdâs expectations, Ziyue smiled and said, âThis young lady also greatly enjoys the poem of the top scholar! With over a hundred words, it perfectly expresses the romance and emotions of the bright moon! Therefore, without a doubt, the winner of this poetry gathering and the newly appointed top scholar is Lin Beifan!â
âVery wellâŚâ Everyone cheered in agreement.
The maidservants, with smiling faces, were about to present their treasures. âTop scholar, these are the rewards you have won!â
âThe Autumn Scenery on Snowy Mountains!â
âThe Finest Snowflake Wine!â
Lin Beifan smiled and said, âI will accept the Autumn Scenery on Snowy Mountains! However, as they say, a true friend is scarce as the wine flows. We are all good friends, rarely gathered together like this. Why donât we open it and have a toast, one cup for each person?â
âGreat! The top scholar is truly generous!â
âThank you, top scholar!â
âŚ
Once again, everyone cheered, filled with joy.
As a result, the Snowflake Wine was opened, and its rich aroma filled the air.
Each person raised their cup and toasted together, saying, âTo the top scholar, to Miss Ziyue, to the magnificent land and rivers of the Great Wu!â
They then drank it all in one go, and the atmosphere reached its climax!
At this moment, Miss Ziyue was also very excited.
Because she could finally carry out her ultimate plan!
With graceful steps, she walked slowly to Lin Beifanâs side, a smile on her face, and said, âYoung Master Lin, you are truly deserving of being the winner tonight! Now is the time for this young lady to fulfill her promise. Please come with me!â
Lin Beifan waved his hand with a smile and said, âI think itâs unnecessary, right? I understand Miss Ziyueâs good intentionsâŚâ
Ziyue looked pitifully at him and said, âCould it be that Young Master Lin wants to treat this young lady unjustly?â
âItâs not that! After all, I am a married man, and it wouldnât be appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together in a roomâŚâ
âStop the nonsense and come with me!â
Ziyue became impatient and directly grabbed Lin Beifanâs hand, quickly leading him towards the inner hall.
Lin Beifan was bewildered!
Is this for real? Why is she in such a hurry?
I donât agree, and yet sheâs dragging me along?
Everyone who witnessed this scene was also stunned!
Miss Ziyue directly grabbed the top scholarâs hand and walked away!
And it seems like thereâs some⌠eagerness in her actions!
Could it be that she has feelings for the top scholarâŚ
Everyone gasped in shock!
âHmph! Big idiot!â The young princess grumbled unhappily and picked up a big piece of meat to gnaw on.
Mo Rushuangâs heart was filled with bitterness, but she had no right to speak, so she gave up.
The only one with the right to speak, Li Shi Shi, was a very traditional woman who wouldnât embarrass her husband at a time like this. She smiled and entertained the crowd, saying, âLetâs start eating, my husband will join us soon!â
At this moment, Ziyue had already led Lin Beifan into an elegant room in the inner hall.
The stone in her heart finally fell.
She realized that she was actually holding Lin Beifanâs hand.
It was the first time she had ever held another manâs hand, and her face slightly reddened. She felt a bit shy and awkwardly let go.
âYoung Master Lin, I was a bit impulsive just now. Please forgive me!â Ziyue nodded and smiled.
âItâs alright, I understand!â Lin Beifan smiled.
âYou understand?â Ziyue was puzzled.
âYes, because of my appearance and talent, many girls have a hard time controlling themselves when they see me! Miss Ziyue, you can already be considered quite reserved!â Lin Beifan laughed.
Ziyue rolled her eyes in anger!
This official actually said that I canât control myself when I see himâŚ
Am I such a shallow person?
Narcissist!
But upon closer inspection of the other personâs appearance, she found that he did indeed have the capital to be narcissistic!
âYoung Master Lin, as long as you understand!â Ziyue gritted her teeth. Due to the thin veil separating them, her hatred was not visible.
The two sat on the floor, and there were some drinks, tea, and snacks on the table.
On the opposite side sat a beautiful maid, her hands gently playing a melodious tune on the zither.
Lin Beifan was puzzled and pointed to the maid not far away, âMiss Ziyue, didnât you say you would fulfill your promise? Show me your face and play a tune for me. WhyâŚâ
Ziyue put on countless charming and flirtatious gestures, âYoung Master Lin, on such a beautiful occasion, why care about these trivial matters? Isnât this maiden beautiful?â
Lin Beifan nodded, âHmm, youâre indeed pretty, although I donât know what you look like!â
Ziyue rolled her eyes in frustration. Was this guy complimenting her or insulting her?
Through gritted teeth, she said, âRest assured, Young Master, I will reveal my face to you later. You wonât be disappointed!â
âThis young master is looking forward to it!â
Ziyue looked at the delicacies on the table and suddenly coquettishly said, âYoung Master Lin, when I was hungry as a child, my mother would always bring me osmanthus cake.â
Lin Beifan looked at the osmanthus cake on the table, immediately picked up a piece, and placed it in her bowl.
âEnjoy, Miss Ziyue!â
Ziyue continued, âYoung Master Lin, when I was thirsty as a child, my mother would always brew tea for me.â
Lin Beifan understood the meaning and promptly poured a cup of tea for her. âPlease enjoy, Miss Ziyue!â
Ziyue felt a sense of joy. Men are all fools. You canât escape from my grasp!
âWhen I was cold as a child, my mother would hold me tightly,â Ziyue shivered, her gaze clear as she looked at Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan: ââŚ..â
Lin Beifan remained silent for a moment and said, âMiss Ziyue, please restrain yourself. I am not your mother!â
Ziyue: ââŚâ
At this moment, Ziyue really wanted to hit someone out of anger!
She decided to stop pretending and reveal her true intentions!
âYoung Master Lin, havenât you always wanted to see the appearance of this maiden? Now, I will let you have a good look!â
Ziyue unveiled her face, and Lin Beifan saw an incredibly stunning and captivating face.
This face was truly extraordinary, with delicate skin, distinct facial features, a deep and profound gaze, yet also exuding the soft beauty of an Eastern woman. It was the face of a mixed-blood beauty.josei
Then, at that moment, Ziyueâs pair of violet eyes seemed to spin.
Lin Beifanâs eyes gradually lost focus.
Seeing Lin Beifanâs dazed expression, Ziyue became smug.
From now on, letâs see how arrogant you can be in front of me.
What she was using now was her cultivation technique called the âPurple Jade Soul Hooking Great Technique.â
It was a technique specifically targeting the mind and spirit.
As long as the opponentâs strength didnât exceed hers by too much or their willpower was not superhuman, they would be mesmerized by her, bowing their heads in submission and obediently carrying out her orders!
She wanted to conquer Lin Beifan through this technique and make him willingly do her bidding!
âThis official is not only the current top scholar but also a favorite of the Empress! He is knowledgeable and talented with a deep background! If I can make him work for me, it will definitely benefit the development of our grand cause!â
The more Ziyue thought about it, the happier she became. She increased her output, hoping to conquer Lin Beifan as soon as possible.
However, her spiritual power poured into Lin Beifanâs mind like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
âIt seems that this officialâs willpower is quite strong!â
âBut I donât believe I canât mesmerize you!â
Ziyue increased the output of her spiritual power, and sweat began to appear on her face.
At this time, in the outside world.
Everyone listened to the melodious sound of the zither, filled with envy.
âThe top scholar is truly fortunate! Not only can he witness the unparalleled beauty of Ziyue, but he can also listen to her zither playing up close! Itâs truly enviable!â
âThe first flower-ranking beauty has already been chosen by the top scholar. I hope the second one wonât fall into his hands as well.â
âItâs probably a sure thing! Didnât you see how impatient Ziyue was just now? This young master even suspects that this poetry gathering was created by Ziyue specifically for the top scholar!â
âTo be honest, in the capital, every woman wants to marry the top scholar!â
âItâs a case of âdying of thirst when surrounded by waterâ and âdrowning in water when suffering from droughtâ!â
âŚ
The discussions of the crowd slowly drifted over.
The young princess felt displeased and turned her sadness and anger into a voracious appetite, eating quickly.
Mo Rushuang seemed lost in thought, frequently losing focus.
Li Shi Shi, on the other hand, maintained her composure with a smile, gracefully entertaining everyone, displaying her elegance.
As a result, everyone admired the top scholar even more.
Inside the family, the red flag never fell, while outside, colorful flags fluttered, living up to the image of a successful man.
At this moment, one piece of music had already ended.
But soon, the second piece began to play.
âWhat? The second piece already!â
âDidnât they agree to play only one piece?â
âMaybe Ziyue and the top scholar were enjoying themselves in conversation, so she played an extra piece!â
âDamn it! This envy-inducing stroke of luck!â
âŚ
After the second piece ended, the third piece started playing.
âReally? This is already the third piece!â
âItâs not over yet? Weâve been waiting with bated breath!â
âIt seems that another beautiful flower has been plucked by the top scholar! The top scholar is truly remarkable!â
âItâs over. The tree of my love has withered!â
âŚ
Everyone was consumed by jealousy!
Why?
Everyone present was a renowned talent of the time, highly accomplished in their studies, charming and handsome like Pan An. Why was it that only Lin Beifan caught the attention of Ziyue?
Is it just because he is slightly more talented than us?
Slightly more handsome than us?
Everyone looked up and sighed at the injustice of heaven!
Some people couldnât handle the blow and drowned their sorrows in alcohol late at night!
Meanwhile, in the chamber, Lin Beifan smiled as he looked at Ziyue, who had a pale complexion and was covered in fragrant sweat. He said, âHow long will you struggle, Ziyue?â
âWhy⌠why doesnât my charm technique work on you?â Ziyue was shocked.
With her level of charm, even a master could be enchanted!
And yet, this powerless scholar in front of her remained unaffected!
Why was that?
She couldnât understand!
âBecause this gentleman has righteousness in his heart, noble character, and unwavering will. I am not swayed by evil and crooked paths!â Lin Beifan declared with righteousness.
Ziyue trembled with anger. âYou shameless scoundrel!â
You, a detested corrupt official, dare claim to have righteousness and noble character?
Do you have any shame left?
Has a dog eaten your righteousness and character?
Spit!
Even a dog wouldnât eat it!
âMiss!â
The maid who was playing the qin rushed over, helping Ziyue up from the ground. In her other hand, she held a cold and gleaming dagger, warily staring at Lin Beifan.
She whispered, âMiss, what should we do now? Should I kill him?â
âThisâŚâ Ziyue was torn.
Lin Beifan remained calm, drinking and smiling. He said, âThatâs the worst idea! If you kill me, you and your people will never escape! Itâs better for us to sit down and have a good talk. The elusive princess of the Slanted Moon Dynasty, am I right?â
Ziyueâs face was filled with astonishment. âHow do you know my identity?â
