Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

"It doesn't make sense that the Ninth Prince's carriage would actually clash with us head-on..."

Lian Qingwu stepped forward at this moment, her face still showing lingering fear and confusion.

"The Ninth Prince? Who is that?"

Upon hearing Su Liang's words, Lian Qingwu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief.

"You don't recognize him?"

That's why I asked you.

"The Ninth Prince, the Emperor's only blood brother, did not vie for power and withdrew from the court early on."

"Their reputation is exceptionally good; I never expected we'd almost run into them..."

"You don't know the reason?"

How could Qingwu know?

"hehe..."

After staring at her for a moment, Su Liang shook his head and chuckled, not paying her any further attention.

He is not a calculating person, but he also hates being calculated by others.

However, the talented woman in front of them was indeed unaware of this, and the Ninth Prince's intentions... were quite worthy of speculation.

same.

Su Liang's appearance surprised Lian Qingwu greatly.

Both his composure just now and the way he acted when the carriage was mysteriously stopped shrouded Su Liang in mystery.

And why did the Ninth Prince suddenly test us...?

As Lian Qingwu practiced her dance, she couldn't help but recall her conversation with her grandfather that night, and she felt deeply worried, as if a storm was brewing.

Thinking of this, Lian Qingwu's gaze towards her savior became even more complicated.

She thought she had seen through the other person time and time again, but the results always exceeded her expectations.

This is not a good sign.

But she refused to stop, determined to fly like a moth to a flame.

Undercurrents were swirling within the imperial city; from the powerful and noble to the lowly officials, some were observing and others were acting quietly.

In any case, leisure is hard to find.

However, the talented men and beautiful women at this poetry gathering seemed to be in another world, leisurely and carefree, composing poems and exchanging verses.

All they cared about was the beautiful scenery before them and where the more famous figures had appeared to provide fodder for gossip.

When the mood strikes, I'll compose a poem to win a smile from the beauty.

No matter how elegant the poetry gatherings held by Lian Qingwu are, they cannot escape this law in the end.

A young lady with a delicate face gazed into the distance, her disappointment barely concealed.

"I didn't expect Young Master Wu to be absent. As the foremost talent of the Qin Dynasty, how could he possibly miss such an important poetry gathering?"

Liu Piaoxu, the daughter of the Liu family, a century-old family in the imperial city.

She rarely leaves the house and lives a secluded life.

Only activities like practicing light dances and holding poetry gatherings could get her out of her secluded chambers.

However, having always admired Wu Chen's literary talent, she waited for a long time at the poetry gathering, but still did not see the foremost scholar. Naturally, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The formation was lost.

"Miss Liu, you're really out of the loop."

Upon hearing Liu Piaoxu's words, a beautiful woman in a light green dress covered her mouth and teased, "..."

"Where does Wu Chen stand as the most talented man in the capital these days?"

"Besides, it is said that the talented Miss Lian specially invited Young Master Su Liang today, so he probably has no face to come here."

These words immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Su Liang? He seems to be that... peerless genius?"

"I heard that the talented Wu was pursuing the little princess that day, but the little princess already had someone she liked."

"It's her brother-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, many of the wealthy young ladies' gossip-loving instincts ignited, while others with better connections dismissed it, saying...

"Who knows, maybe he just dislikes Wu Chen."

"The most important thing is the duel between the two. Wu Chen, who prides himself on being the number one talent, was crushed in his most proficient field and ended up so ashamed that he couldn't show his face in public."

"Could it be that timeless love poem, 'I was born before you were born'?"

The moment Su Liang was mentioned, these young ladies seemed to have found their home and gathered together.

Even Liu Piaoxu was astonished; she had treasured this love poem since she first heard it.

If one day I were to meet such a good person, even if we were vastly different, I would still be willing to fly like a moth to a flame.

And the person who wrote this timeless love poem was Su Liang?

Followed by.

"More than that."

"I've heard that Young Master Su is not only exceptionally talented in literature, but also unparalleled in cultivation, defeating Holy Sons and killing Dao Sons. He makes his fellow cultivators feel ashamed of themselves."

"How is that possible!"

Liu Piaoxu found these things somewhat unbelievable.

No matter how outstanding one's talent, one's energy is limited. Often, one focuses on literary talent, which naturally delays one's spiritual practice.

How could there be such a person who is both literate and skilled in martial arts?

That's way too dazzling!

Just as all the young ladies and talented women gathered together to discuss Su Liang, praising him to the skies, it was as if they were talking about him.

"Hmph? He's nothing but a clown!"

The talented young men, who had been neglected for a long time, almost unanimously expressed their ridicule and disdain.

Jealousy!

How could I not be jealous?

They were right there, yet all they could do was listen to this group of rich young ladies discussing a boy who hadn't even arrived yet.

It was so dazzling that it made everyone feel breathless.

In terms of ability and talent, he is inferior in every way!

"He was just a commoner. If he hadn't gained the favor of the eldest princess, how could he have achieved what he has today?"

Wenren Qing, the only son of the Suiyuan General's Mansion, had a cold and stern gaze, making no attempt to hide his disdain.

As soon as Wenren Qing spoke, someone echoed his words.

"That's right. If that fellow hadn't gotten close to the Princess, he would probably be homeless by now. How could he be enjoying such a high status?"

"The eldest princess cherishes talent. She has wasted countless elixirs and miraculous medicines on this Su Liang, barely managing to get him to his current state. Isn't that a waste?"

"I'm certain that if the eldest princess were to bestow those elixirs upon us as well, our achievements would certainly be no less than Su Liang's!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than the young ladies nearby, who idolized Su Liang, voiced their displeasure.

"You people are shameless to utter such boastful words!"

"You talk as if you haven't used many magic pills. Young Master Su was able to suppress three thousand imperial guards, fight the Holy Son, and kill the Daoist for the First Princess."

"Who among you has that kind of courage?"

Silence, only complete silence.

Even Wenren Qing, the only son of the general, looked embarrassed and had no way to refute it.

Su Liang's achievements are so brilliant that it's no exaggeration to call them miracles.

In the same circumstances, they wouldn't have had that courage!

Fortunately, someone came to his rescue at that moment.

"That's not true. We meant well, but as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart."

Su Liang was nothing more than a commoner who, by sheer coincidence, rose to prominence overnight. Who knows what he's really thinking?

The person who spoke was none other than Yuan Xi, the grandson of the Left Chancellor, whose status, identity, and abilities were all outstanding among those present!

Anyway, Su Liang isn't here right now.

Moreover, he won the heart of the goddess in the hearts of all men in the Qin Dynasty. Who wouldn't feel resentful in that situation?

That is Jun Hongyan, the most outstanding beauty in the Qin Dynasty!

She's been single all along, why is she about to marry some pretty boy?

Wenren Qing glanced at Yuan Xi,

"Yuan Shaoke has never liked such pretentious and vulgar things. Why is he in such a mood today?"

Yuan Xi said calmly,

"Qingwu and I were childhood sweethearts. She held a poetry gathering. How could I possibly offend her?"

There were some arrogant fools who thought they could feign refinement just by bringing along a few literate servants.

"Beauty is always paired with hero."

"I may be less eloquent than you, but when it comes to fighting and protecting our country, you are no match for me!"

Wenren Qing was not to be outdone.

As the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, which family wouldn't want to use marriage as a means to climb the social ladder?
