Only then did everyone come back to their senses from the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. They hurriedly looked back and found a beautiful figure sitting at the head of the table. They couldn't see her face clearly because of the heavy curtains, but it was enough to see her graceful figure. She was definitely a top beauty.
"Greetings, Princess!" A group of people hurriedly went over to curry favor.
The Princess slowly opened her mouth and said, "Everyone has come from afar, I am very grateful for your hospitality. My humble country's hospitality is not satisfactory, please forgive me. I would like to give each of you a piece of calligraphy and painting that I usually admire as a token of appreciation. These are all authentic works of famous artists, please accept them. When you leave, please pick them from the wall. "
"The Princess's voice is so beautiful, I'm dying, I'm dying." Some people were whispering to each other. Originally, many people didn't have much hope when they came in, but when they saw the Princess's graceful figure with their own eyes, and her voice was so pleasing to the ears, most of their bones immediately softened. No matter how slim the hope was, they all wanted to try their best. If they could really bring the beauty home, wouldn't that be great?
The Princess then repeated what she just said, "May I ask who is Young Master Jia of the Great Song?"
"I am." Xue Baochai pushed. Song Qingshu finally stood up and instantly became the target of public criticism.
Even if the others looked down on him, they had to admit that he was indeed a good looking man. In addition, he had a unique temperament, so he was really charming standing there.
They were afraid that the Princess would be temporarily deceived by his appearance and wanted to expose his true face. However, reporting such things had always been looked down upon. They were worried that it would affect their image in the Princess's heart, so no one dared to speak up easily. The study suddenly became quiet.
Song Qingshu had a headache. He thought to himself, this woman made such a big scene, how will it end later?
"I heard that Young Master is proficient in the art of Qi Huang?" Li Qinglu's voice carried a hint of a smile.
"I dare not say that I am proficient in it, but I know a little."
Hearing Song Qingshu's words, Xue Baochai rolled her eyes. Since when did he know the art of Qi Huang?
"I do have a slight problem recently. It's mainly manifested in the body's weakness, and I can't sleep at night. Does Young Master have any treatment?" Li Qinglu asked.
"Princess must be worried about your Prince Consort, so it's inevitable that you're a little afraid. Wait until everything is settled and you've found your Prince Consort, then your illness will naturally be cured without any medicine." Song Qingshu's words were serious, but he was secretly thinking that she was just beginning to feel amorous.
"Thank you for your auspicious words." Li Qinglu replied.
"I can treat patients like this," Wang Yao said. Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more, the people around them finally couldn't stand it anymore. They were worried that if they continued chatting, the princess would really take a fancy to them.
Even Xu Liewu opened his mouth and said, "Princess, this time, I have brought a few divine doctors with me. Some are from the Central Plains, and some are from the Western Regions. All of them are top-notch medical experts. They will definitely be able to help Princess."
"Thank you, Prince, for your good intentions. Prince suffered such heavy injuries yesterday, yet you're able to move around freely today. It's enough to show the brilliance of your country's doctors. However, this princess doesn't have any major problems, so there's no need to trouble your country's famous doctors." Li Qinglu tactfully declined.
The expressions of the people in the surroundings instantly became strange. Some people almost laughed out loud. This Xu Liewu recovering so quickly did indeed prove the brilliance of the doctors under him. However, why did it sound so strange?
Xu Liewu's expression darkened. This woman actually dared to poke at his scar. If it wasn't for the fact that her voice sounded sweet and innocent, as if she had done it unintentionally, he probably would have exploded on the spot.
Xiusheng, who was at the side, came out to divert everyone's attention. "Princess, all of us have experienced untold hardships to come here. People like me have even traveled tens of thousands of miles to come here. Today, we've eaten, drank tea, and admired paintings. We've finally waited for Princess to come out, but she's behind a curtain. Can you come out and let us see Princess?"
"That's right, that's right. We all want to see Princess." His words instantly resonated with everyone. Many people present knew that their chances of marrying Princess were slim. If they could see Princess's appearance, they would at least be able to brag about it.
Li Qinglu said, "I've lived in my own room since I was young and have never seen outsiders. I once swore that I would only let my future husband see my appearance, so I'm sorry."
When the noisy crowd heard her say this, they momentarily found it too embarrassing to insist. Love Chinese Network
Song Qingshu almost laughed out loud. He thought to himself, Back then, you were like a demoness in Class One Hall, showing your face everywhere, but now you're describing yourself as a daughter of a noble family.
Duan Yu also smiled. He recalled that this rule was similar to Sister Wan's back then. However, he didn't know that Li Qinglu had learned this from Mu Wanqing.
At this moment, Si Siluo opened his mouth and said, "Princess, please quickly explain how the written examination will be conducted. When I become Princess's husband, I'll naturally be able to see Princess."
His tone naturally attracted a lot of scolding.
"How arrogant."
"The Qingtang Empire is only located at the borders. Where does this confidence come from?"
…
"Everyone, please don't hurt the harmony." Li Qinglu cleared her throat and said, "I've prepared three questions here. Please answer them one by one. If we're fated to meet, we'll naturally meet."
"Alright, alright, alright. Princess, quickly ask the first question."
Unexpectedly, Li Qinglu didn't speak at this moment. Her personal maid, Xiao Lei, spoke on her behalf. "The questions that Princess wants to ask have already been told to me. The first question has already been asked."
Everyone was startled. Only then did they remember that she had just asked the question in Ningxiang Hall. From the Princess's reaction, it should be that brat Jia Baoyu's answer that suited her the best. All of them were extremely vexed. They wondered why they didn't notice the first half of the question and ended up being taken advantage of by Jia Baoyu.
Xu Liewu's expression was also somewhat ugly. He snorted and said, "Then what's the second question?"
Xiao Lei answered, "When you're having a banquet with a group of friends, and one of your female friends gets drunk, will you send her home?"
Zhuang Juxian said in a low, muffled voice, "That … men and women shouldn't touch each other. Naturally, I'll have her own maid send her home." Quan Guanqing, who hadn't had much of a presence earlier, was worried for him. So he quickly taught him an answer.
Huo Qingtong's brother, Huo Ayi, also hurriedly said, "I only have the Princess in my heart. Why would I send another lady home?"
Everyone expressed that they didn't care about beauties and were absolute gentlemen …
"I will send her home," Duan Yu, who was at the side, said in an unsociable manner.
The palace maid, Xiao Lei, asked curiously, "Why?"
Duan Yu said, "That female friend got drunk with me. If I don't personally send her home, if she encounters danger on the way and something happens to her, I won't be able to escape blame even if I die a hundred times."
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Crown Prince Duan is truly a modest gentleman and attentive."
Duan Yu's face heated up. "Miss, you flatter me." He thought that it was fortunate that Miss Wang wasn't here. Otherwise, she would think that he really wanted to be the son-in-law.
"What will His Highness do?" Xiao Lei then turned to Xu Liewu.
