Chapter 148: Not Interested

At this moment, she was finally certain that An Yi really did not have feelings for Jin Tong.

Jin Tong stayed quietly in the imperial palace for two days. Under the urging of Zhaoyang, she came to the entrance of Guang Residence to make a ruckus.

Su Yan walked out with a cold face, saying that she would never let her enter Guang Residence.

Jin Tong was not satisfied and wanted to compete with Su Yan in literary talent. Whoever lost would have to give up Guang Pingwang.

The two of them quickly decided to compete in Fu Yalou.

This news was quickly spread by the gossipy citizens.

When it was time, Fu Yalou was already full of empty seats.

Jin Tong was the first to arrive and sat arrogantly in the lobby. Her posture was arrogant and domineering, but because of her exquisite looks, she was really cute.

Su Yan had not come for a long time, and everyone was talking about it. Could it be that she was afraid and did not want to compete anymore?

At the last moment, Su Yan slowly walked over.

Only then did everyone realize that Su Yan’s beauty was not inferior to the number one beauty in the world, Jin Tong.

Because the love between Guang Pingwang and his wife was still hot, most of the people present were in support of Su Yan.

Su Yan sat opposite Jin Tong and scanned her surroundings. She saw Zhaoyang’s figure in a corner and her red lips were flirtatious.

Jin Tong was the first to put down her harsh words. The villain’s expression was very accurate.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries.

The servant of Fu Yalou gave the two of them a piece of paper.

Fu Yalou’s rules were that the upper couplet would be written in the building. The two competitors would write the lower couplet. Whoever wrote the lower couplet well would win.

The rules were very simple, but the people inside the building still dutifully announced it before taking out the upper couplet.

A white silk cloth hung down from the second floor, and on it was written the upper couplet of this competition.

“Don’t be alarmed by the favor or disgrace, just watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court.”

Once this upper couplet was out, everyone was in an uproar.

This was the quatrain of Fu Yalou that made it famous in one battle back then. Back then, Fu Yalou was still an unremarkable literary pavilion. It was because of this quatrain that all the scholars from all walks of life fought to come and visit, but they all returned in defeat.

From then on, Fu Yalou became the symbol of the scholars in the capital.

It was said that the behind-the-scenes owner of Fu Yalou was an inflexible bookworm. It seemed that it was true.

If both of them could not answer, it would be a disgrace to Guang Residence. Was she not afraid that Guang Pingwang would come looking for trouble?

However, everyone was still watching the show. The bigger the show, the more interesting it would be.

Jin Tong looked at the couplet in front of her and smiled disdainfully.

Su Yan looked over and asked with her eyes, “Do you know how to do it?”?

Jin Tong looked back confidently, “I don’t know how to do it.”.

Su Yan was a little speechless. Why was she so arrogant?

Jin Tong replied arrogantly, “I don’t know how to do this couplet. If you don’t know how to do it either, then we’ll call it a draw.”

Everyone was a little speechless. Although it was normal that they could not match up, was it really good to be so confident?

Su Yan shook her head in amusement. Looking at the white silk cloth on her head, she pondered for a moment and picked up her pen.

This scene shocked everyone. Could it be that Princess Consort Guang Pingwang was preparing to answer the question?

They looked at Su Yan’s hand with anticipation and disbelief.

The tip of the pen paused for a moment, and Su Yan smoothly wrote the second half of the couplet.

Although the servants in the building felt that she couldn’t answer any good couplets, they still respectfully took the white paper on the table.

They just glanced at it and froze.

The other famous thing about this Fu Yalou was that the servants in the building were all knowledgeable. Even a person who swept the floor was more likely to be a scholar than anyone.

Many curious scholars came because of this.

The servant who took the second half of the couplet written by Su Yan was a young man with a hunched back. The moment he saw the second half of the couplet, he even straightened his back and hurriedly walked to the backyard.

This unexpected turn of events attracted everyone’s speculations.

Not long after, an old man walked out from the backyard. His hair and beard were all white. After taking two steps, he came to Su Yan’s side with a trembling voice and asked, “This second half of the couplet was written by you?”
