In the first month, there were many distinguished guests who came with gifts. The Governor of Lingzhou, Yan Jiexi, and his children arrived together. The Governor of Feng Province, Li Gongde, followed closely behind. Naturally, he brought his son, Li Hanlin, who had a terrible reputation. Because their sons and His Royal Highness were childhood friends, the two governors had a deep relationship. They were fortunate enough to be looked upon highly by the King of Beiliang. Whenever they made mistakes in governance, the Great Pillar Guo would lightly overlook them.
Among them, Yan Jiexi had an advantage that others envied. The Governor of Yan Province had a daughter who was both talented and beautiful. Even the Great Pillar Guo praised her, personally commenting that she was "steady and peaceful, generous and generous." At that time, many people believed that this girl would enter Beiliang Palace. It was probably because His Royal Highness was too unrestrained, so there was no substantial movement.
Today, the Great Pillar Guo was personally receiving the two governors. Li Hanlin could not sit still and had long been itching to make a move. The Great Pillar Guo waved his hand and told him to scram. Li Hanlin immediately rushed out as if he had been pardoned and did not forget to bow.
The Governor of Feng Province, Li Gongde, sighed. This bastard was too inappropriate. The Great Pillar Guo laughed and said that Li Hanlin's personality was not bad. Only then did Li Gongde feel relieved. The Great Pillar Guo's light words were a hundred times more effective than thousands of curses in the province.
Yan Jiexi's daughter, Yan Dongwu, also gracefully excused herself and went for a walk in the manor. It was rare to see a woman who could receive the Great Pillar Guo's praise. She was recognized as a "female scholar" by the scholars of Beiliang. She was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song. She was brilliant and beautiful. If not for the fact that she was beaten by the number one woman of Beiliang, Xu Weixiong, she would be even more famous.
However, from the first time she saw Hsu Fengnian, she did not have a good impression of him. She saw His Royal Highness as an empty bag and did not hide it. Hsu Fengnian, on the other hand, said that Yan Dongwu was a female prostitute who fished for fame. Although she looked friendly on the surface, she was actually sophisticated. Although she looked gentle and harmless, she was actually a knife. Whoever married her would be bringing home a knife, which would bring misfortune to the family.
In short, the two of them had been at loggerheads all these years. They didn't like each other and tried to avoid meeting each other if possible. Therefore, they didn't even greet each other when they met. Her younger brother, Yan Jie Xi, originally hoped to be able to tie the knot with Brother Feng, but seeing that there was no hope, he gave up.
In the twilight, Yan Dongwu walked on the secluded path and sneered in her heart. She hadn't heard of His Royal Highness' mischief for half a year. She heard that he was forbidden to study the Sage Books. She didn't believe that the Pillar State could restrict Hsu Fengnian's feet. Who knows what kind of disaster he had caused.
Yan Dongwu heard a strange voice, "Oh, this lady is so brave. You dare to tour alone in Idiot Xu's territory. Aren't you afraid of being robbed and humiliated by that idiot?"
She didn't need to raise her head to know that it was her sworn enemy, the one who couldn't achieve anything great, the one who couldn't pass the imperial examinations.
Yan Dongwu was too lazy to pay attention to it. She quickened her pace and wanted to leave early. Out of sight, out of mind.
Hsu Fengnian didn't give up and blocked in front of her. He teased, "Lady, do you want me to protect you? Don't fall into Idiot Xu's evil hands. If you can't keep your chastity, who will marry you? I heard that there's a little prince in the capital who is in love with you. Could it be that you're preparing to become an imperial concubine? "
Yan Dongwu glared at him.
Her face was cold, but she was a little surprised in her heart. She hadn't seen this rascal for more than three years, and he seemed to have become much more tanned and robust. However, that hedonistic air of a person who couldn't change his nature was still as hateful as before. She was attentive. She saw that the most powerful young master in Liangzhou didn't wear a fancy sword anymore. He changed to a knife and didn't hang it on his waist. Instead, he held it in his hand, which was neither fish nor fowl.
Yan Dongwu took a step back and distanced herself from Hsu Fengnian. She said sarcastically, "You can't learn the skills of that ferocious-looking macheteman, so you can only learn the easiest way to wear a knife? His Royal Highness is so ambitious! "
Hsu Fengnian hummed a few times and turned to put Xiu Dong on his shoulder. He put his hands on her and looked even more like a ruffian. He smiled and said, "Female Scholar, you've heard about that macheteman's feat? Do you think I should reward him with a few thousand or ten thousand taels of silver? I heard that there will be a fight outside the city tonight. I'm thinking about how much silver I should bring. Female Scholar, you're quite good at calculating. Why don't you give me some advice? "
Yan Dongwu sneered and said, "Do you dare to see that bloody scene? How much silver to give is Your Highness's private matter. Dongwu kindly reminds Your Highness to bring an extra set of clothes. "
Hsu Fengnian clicked his tongue and said, "Female Scholar, you've really calculated everything. You've even calculated that I'm about to pee in my pants. You're amazing. I used to say that you don't know anything when you don't ask. Now it seems that I've misunderstood you. "
Yan Dongwu didn't have the patience to argue with Hsu Fengnian. She said coldly, "Get out of my way!"
Hsu Fengnian put Xiu Dong's knife on his shoulder and said casually, "Female Scholar, do you dare to come with me to see that macheteman?"
Yan Dongwu said firmly, "I don't dare!"
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Are you afraid of seeing me, or are you afraid of seeing the macheteman and can't help but elope with him? I heard from Yan Chiji that you always like to peek at some Paladin biographies. Aren't you curious what kind of hero is behind that ferocious face? "
Yan Dongwu was exposed, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She kept silent.
Hsu Fengnian said regretfully, "Forget it if you don't want to go. It's better for me to enjoy alone than others."
Carrying Xiu Dong's knife, he brushed past Yan Dongwu.
Yan Dongwu suddenly wrinkled her nose. She turned around and asked for the first time, "Do you really want to be that spendthrift?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "There are two horses in the stable."
Finally, the two of them rode out of the city.
