Li Xuan said, "I promised Lin'an, but I only promised to give her a top-quality poem; I did not promise to help her win first place."

"You." Lin'an paused upon hearing this.

But looking back on our initial conversation, it really was like that.

Li Xuan continued, "I promised you I would help you get first place, so naturally I haven't broken my promise."

Huai remained silent: "???"

Is this okay?

But then she breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Xuan helps her get first place, there will be no problem.

Even if he helped Lin'an compose a top-notch poem, it wouldn't have much impact.

"I hope you can do it," Huaiqing could only reply.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang, who was standing to the side, parted her lips slightly and said, "Brother Li, what is this?"

Li Xuan smiled gently and said, "Pingyang, Princess Lin'an and Princess Huaiqing helped me before, and I promised to repay them."

"It's just that, like you, they all chose to have me help out at the royal banquets, so I had no choice but to agree."

"As for you?"

Li Xuan said gently, "There is no need for a deal between us."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yu Duchen of Pingyang beamed with joy.

It turns out that Li Xuan's relationship with his cousins ​​was merely a transaction, not based on affection.

But what existed between her and Li Xuan was genuine affection.

Lin'an, who was standing to the side, was stunned when he saw this.

Judging from the situation, something seems off between Li Xuan and his best friend Pingyang.

She moved her red lips and asked, "Pingyang, you and Li Xuan?"

Princess Pingyang replied, "Lin'an, the person I told you about before is Brother Li."

Princess Lin'an was struck dumb upon hearing this.

She asked blankly, "You mean, the one you like is Li Xuan?"

Pingyang boldly said, "Yes, I like Brother Li. I plan to express my feelings to my father and mother at the banquet and marry Li Xuan."

After she finished speaking, her face flushed slightly, and she looked somewhat shy.

But Lin'an, standing to the side, felt as if struck by lightning.

Her best friend, Princess Pingyang, actually liked Li Xuan?

And just like her, she planned to express her feelings and marry Li Xuan at the banquet.

More importantly.

It was clear that Li Xuan and Pingyang were kindred spirits.

And what about her?

In reality, she didn't have much interaction with Li Xuan, and they didn't have enough emotional connection.

"I, what should I do?"

"Without Li Xuan, how can I suppress Huaiqing?"

Lin'an was suddenly at a loss.

Princess Pingyang was her best friend.

You can't possibly compete with your sisters for a man, can you?

Huaiqing, who was standing to the side, was also startled.

Looking at Princess Pingyang, he felt somewhat unwilling.

After all, she had her eye on Li Xuan and wanted to recruit him.

Even after Li Xuan's promotion in the future, he might choose to marry her.

Because so far, only Li Xuan in the capital is worthy of her.

Whether it's talent, appearance, innate ability, or other aspects.

Li Xuandu is almost perfect and deserves her.

She's so perfect now, a great candidate for her future husband, but her cousin is going to steal him away.

For a moment, she felt a pang of sadness, as if she had lost something of paramount importance.

But soon.

It dispelled the restless and troubled thoughts.

"Even without Li Xuan, I still have hope."

"Senior Number Three is the hope; we can trade with him to improve our cultivation and achieve our goal."

"Even if all else fails, what's wrong with becoming Senior Number Three's woman?"

As for Li Xuan, she wanted to recruit him and train him to become one of her own. She believed that once he advanced to the third or second rank, he would definitely be able to help her achieve her grand ambitions...

But now Li Xuan has already been beaten to the punch by Princess Pingyang.

She had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, she still has other opportunities and hopes.

You can trade with Senior Number Three to obtain Grade Three spiritual herbs and improve your cultivation.

No matter what.

She could become the woman of the third senior and gain his support.

Senior Number Three is at least a second-grade level expert.

He is much stronger than Li Xuan.

Thinking about this, Huaiqing felt much relieved.

"Do you need your poems now or at the event?"

Li Xuan spoke up, asking Huaiqing and Lin'an.

Huaiqing thought for a moment and said, "Give it to me now."

If Li Xuan had only been invited by her, she would certainly have asked him to compose a poem on the spot.

But now Li Xuan is being fought over by both his younger sister and Pingyang.

So to avoid embarrassment, it's better to ask for it in advance.

What style do you want?

Li Xuan asked.

Huaiqing said, "Whatever. There are no restrictions on the subject matter for tonight's poetry competition."

"Okay!" Li Xuan nodded.

He then said, "This is a poem, and the title of the poem is 'Shuidiao Getou'."

"When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens; I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace."

"I long to ride the wind and return, yet I fear the jade palaces and crystal towers are too cold at such heights; dancing with my shadow, how can it compare to being in the human world?"

"The moon turns through the red pavilion, shines low through the embroidered window, illuminating my sleepless night; there should be no resentment, so why does the moon always seem to be full when we are apart?"

"People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon waxes and wanes, and nothing in this world is ever perfect. May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, even from afar."

To ensure Huaiqing won first place, he had no choice but to bring out this invincible piece.

really.

After he said it.

The three women from Huaiqing, Lin'an, and Pingyang were already stunned, their faces filled with shock.

Huaiqing parted her lips slightly and murmured, "Once this work is published, all poems and lyrics in the world that use the bright moon as a theme will pale in comparison."

"It's simply the greatest of all time."

She looked at Li Xuan with her almond-shaped eyes filled with admiration and a strange, inexplicable emotion.

If Li Xuan were her husband, how wonderful that would be?

Her talent in poetry alone could win over all the scholars in the world and expand her power.

Not to mention, Li Xuan also possessed the talent of a sorcerer, and the sorcerers of the Imperial Observatory held him in high esteem.

There's also the aspect of night watchmen.

At this moment, she was truly unwilling to give up such an outstanding man to her cousin, Princess Pingyang.

Because of Li Xuan's value, the help he provided to her was simply too great.
