I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 343 Poetry Party
After returning home, he immediately took action.

He sat on the ground, took out his tools and started working.

She had a skilled technique and wielded the knife very quickly, with jade powder falling down in large quantities.

She started by carving for Liu Yu. As she carved the ordinary Wu Shi Pai, it gradually acquired an indescribable spiritual charm, which was the key to breaking her fate.

Next, she carved a rejuvenation talisman for Jiang Siyou. She was extremely careful with every cut, as a way of compensation to him.

The rest of the peace cards gradually turned into amulets of peace in her hands.

Zhang Chengyuan distributed the carved amulets to the original owner's relatives and capable subordinates, and received praise, gifts and loyalty in return.

After sending these people off, it’s time to send Jiang Siyou off. It just so happens that I promised to bring him along to join in the fun.

Zhang Chengyuan went to Shangguan Mansion in a happy mood, carrying the rejuvenation talisman that he had carefully carved for Jiang Siyou.

Along the way, the cries of street vendors and the laughter of passers-by were intertwined, making it very lively, but her mind was completely focused on the joy of seeing Jiang Siyou soon.

When she arrived at Shangguan Mansion, the doorman greeted her with a smile as soon as he saw it was her and respectfully led her into the mansion.

Zhang Chengyuan walked through the winding corridors with ease, bypassed the flower-filled garden, and headed towards Jiang Siyou's garden.

From a distance, Jiang Siyou could be seen wearing a light blue gown, standing in the pavilion, concentrating on reading the book in his hands. The sunlight shining on him, outlining his thin but upright figure, like a quiet and beautiful painting.

The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously and she quickened her pace.

After approaching, he deliberately cleared his throat and said jokingly: "Who is this handsome young man? He is so focused. What profound book are you studying?"

Jiang Siyou raised his head upon hearing the voice, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He quickly put down the book and walked forward. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face and also pretended to be serious and said, "Miss Zhang, how come you have time to come here today? What interesting things do you want to share with me?"

Zhang Chengyuan winked playfully, took out a rejuvenation charm from his sleeve, and handed it to Jiang Siyou: "Here, this is a rejuvenation charm specially carved for you. I wish you good health and immunity from all diseases in the future."

Jiang Siyou was slightly stunned, his eyes full of emotion. Why were the little gifts brought to him every time so irresistible?

He carefully took the rejuvenation talisman and examined the exquisite carvings closely. Every stroke on the talisman seemed to express concern and care for him.

He put the rejuvenation talisman close to his body, looked at her tenderly and said, "Thank you, young lady, for taking so much trouble. I will definitely cherish it."

Zhang Chengyuan tilted his head and asked expectantly, "You're so awkward. Be normal. Why should we be so polite? By the way, I promised to take you to join in the fun. Today is a good day. Would you like to go with me?"

Jiang Siyou nodded without hesitation: "Of course I am willing. It is my honor to travel with a girl."

Zhang Chengyuan looked at Jiang Siyou with a smile, gently took Jiang Siyou's hand and said, "Let's go quickly, or we'll miss the show if we're late."

Jiang Siyou let her pull him, with a gentle smile on his face, and followed her.

Soon, the two arrived at the place where the poetry reading was held.

This is an elegant garden with pavilions and towers scattered throughout the garden and winding paths. It is already filled with talented men and beautiful women in the city.

Zhang Chengyuan and Jiang Siyou walked straight into the garden, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

After all, she was the daughter of a concubine of the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion, and with Jiang Siyou, who was by her side and had an outstanding temperament and was frail but handsome, it was really hard to ignore her.

The poetry reading had not officially begun yet, and people were gathering in groups of three or four to greet each other.

Zhang Chengyuan's eyes moved around, searching for a familiar figure, but after looking around he did not see the person he was looking for.

Then he heard Jiang Siyou say in his ear: "Did you see those young men over there? They will be embarrassed soon." Zhang Chengyuan looked in the direction he pointed, nodded slightly, his eyes full of curiosity.

After a while, the host of the poetry reading walked onto the stage and announced the start of the reading.

The first part was the poetry writing session. Once the topic was announced, everyone fell into deep thought, picked up their pens and dipped them in ink, expressing their talents on paper.

Zhang Chengyuan had no intention of participating. She pulled Jiang Siyou to find a seat with an excellent view and sat down. She savoured the snacks on the table while casually looking at the people around her.

Jiang Siyou watched those talented men and beautiful women composing poems with great interest, and from time to time he would whisper a few comments to Zhang Chengyuan.

At this moment, one of the people Jiang Siyou had just signaled stood up, cleared his throat, and prepared to recite his poem.

Zhang Chengyuan's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, and asked Jiang Siyou in a low voice: "What embarrassing thing did they do?"

Jiang Siyou smiled without saying anything, motioning for her to look at it herself.

Zhang Chengyuan pursed his lips and said, "Just watch it yourself."

Shifting my gaze, I saw this man who was reciting his masterpiece in ecstasy, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and without any warning he pushed down a young man next to him and ran away in a hurry.

"This is?"

Jiang Siyou spoke up this time: "Those young masters had some savings, and they wanted to harm each other at this poetry meeting, but they didn't know that the other party also had the same plan, and then they all fell into the trap and had their own embarrassing experiences.

The guy who ran away just now was given croton powder by someone. If he doesn’t run faster, he will shit in public.”

Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly asked about the others, this is so exciting, each one is wonderful in his own way, and they are all wonderful people.

While she was listening to gossip, the person she was looking for just entered the poetry reading.

Zhang Chengyuan was listening with great interest, his eyes inadvertently glancing towards the entrance in front of him, where he saw the Princess of Qinghe County walking gracefully into the poetry gathering.

She was wearing a light pink gauze dress today, the hem of the skirt was as light as clouds, and the pearls and jade on her head were swaying, which made her face more beautiful and her temperament more refined.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the Princess of Qinghe County. After all, as the Princess of Qinghe County, she was of noble status and rarely showed up in such occasions on weekdays. And today, she was dressed so beautifully that she really attracted everyone's attention.

The Princess of Qinghe County nodded slightly as a greeting to everyone, then found a seat and sat down.

At this time, the flying flower order segment of the poetry meeting was in full swing.

After listening for a while, Princess Qinghe's eyes flashed with confidence.

When it was her turn, she stood up, bowed gracefully, and said, "Everyone, I am not talented, but I would like to use the word 'flower' as a command and present a poem."

After that, she opened her red lips and chanted slowly: "Last year on this day, the face of a man and the peach blossoms reflected each other's redness. I don't know where the face of a man has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."

As soon as this poem came out, the whole audience was silent. After a moment, they burst into warm applause and praise.

"The Princess of Qinghe County is indeed very talented. This poem is so beautiful and poignant. It is really wonderful!"

"Yes, such a masterpiece really opens our eyes."

Praises from the crowd came one after another. The Princess of Qinghe County smiled slightly, sat down gracefully, with just the right amount of humility on her face.

Sorry, I have something to do today, so I will update once. Good night.
