"Linlin, who do you think is better?" Miss Xu asked quietly beside her.

"I think Mr. Xiao is better!" Jiang Linlin said without question.

Her mind is now on Xiao Zixuan, and naturally she feels that no one can compare to him.

Later, Jiang Linlin no longer had the heart to listen, and all her attention was focused on Xiao Zixuan.

Even when her sister Miss Xu pointed out her colorless future husband given by her mother, she was not interested at all.

Now everyone is very inferior to Xiao Zixuan.

With the beginning of the first two people, everyone became active and enthusiastic!

The children of the noble families took turns to write poems, and Mrs. Jiang was quite satisfied after reading several of them.

In terms of family background, talent, and appearance, they are all very good!

Secretly guess which children they are, and go back to inquire if there is a marriage.

......

The poetry writing session gradually came to an end.

Everyone was discussing who to give the prize to.

Should it be given to Master Chen's student? Or to the most talented woman?

"Master Chen, why don't you tell us?" The princess immediately threw the topic to Master Chen.

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Chen is highly respected, and what he said must be right."

Everyone looked at him expectantly.

Master Chen smiled and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to judge."

One of them is his favorite student. If he chooses Xiao Zixuan, some people may say that he deliberately favors his student, which will tarnish Zixuan's innocence, which is not appropriate.

Moreover, the little girl is the daughter of a famous family. Saying that her poems are not as good as Zixuan's will make her lose face, which may cause some trouble for Zixuan's future career.

His original intention was to bring him here to show his face, so that these dignitaries could leave an impression, and maybe he could get a chance to support him.

But this girl's poems are indeed better than Zixuan's, and it seems a bit far-fetched to want to support Zixuan.

"This princess knows Master Chen's concerns. Master, don't worry. Just say it." The princess smiled casually, seeing Master Chen's hesitation, and gave him a reassurance.

"Then I will dare to say that I think both of their poems have their own merits. If you insist on ranking them, I really can't choose. So, how about I suggest that the two of you tie for first place?" Master Chen said, looking at the princess.

The princess smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, since you can't tell who is better, you two should tie for first place! How about one jade ruyi for each of you?"

Xiao Zixuan's eyes lit up. In this place full of nobles, he was born in poverty and had no expectations. He didn't expect that he would have a share.

He hurried forward to thank him.

The two said in unison, "Thank you, princess."

The princess saw that there was no objection and asked someone to hand over the jade ruyi to the two of them.

So she said to everyone, "It's too restrained to sit down. Let's enjoy the view on our own, okay?"

"Yes." Everyone said.

"Let's go." The princess waved her hand.

The guests dispersed and wandered around the garden.

The princess took a few familiar sisters to chat about family matters.

After the talented woman handed the jade ruyi to the maid beside her, she turned around and said to Xiao Zixuan with a smile, "Young master, I admire your talent."

"Miss, you are joking. Your literary talent is outstanding. I am ashamed of myself." Xiao Zixuan shook his head and said humbly.

She is the most talented woman, the favorite daughter of the Marquis. She has always been unattainable in his heart. Today, she took the initiative to talk to him, which really flattered him.

"Young master is really modest." The talented woman smiled a few times with her mouth covered.

The two chatted happily.

"Look." The princess reminded the Marquis's wife to look at the two people chatting over there.

The two talked and laughed.

Madam Hou frowned and said nothing.

"Sister, the child hasn't been promised yet, right? I think they are a good match." The princess joked with a smile.

The princess and Madam Hou are half-sisters.

They are all descendants of the Third Prince, and the Third Prince's wife is Madam Hou's legitimate mother, but she died many years ago, and the Third Prince later promoted the position of the current princess's mother, and her mother became the new Third Prince's wife.

"Sister, you are joking. I have already found a husband for this child." Madam Hou said with a fake smile.

How could she not know what she was thinking?

He had been secretly against her since he was a child, and now he actually set his sights on her daughter!

Her daughter is so outstanding, how could she marry her to a poor boy!

"Hey, sister, I was just talking, why did you take it seriously?" The princess smiled with a hidden edge.

Madam Hou no longer paid attention to her.

Standing in the corner, Jiang Linlin looked at the two people talking and laughing in front of her, feeling a little unhappy.

Obviously, he was the man she fell in love with first.

The two chatted for a while before parting.

Xiao Zixuan walked out, and Jiang Linlin hurriedly chased after him.

"Sir, please stay!" Jiang Linlin shouted.

Xiao Zixuan turned around in surprise and looked at the woman running towards him.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Linlin, General Jiang's sister." Jiang Linlin said with a smile.

She's the sister of the famous General Jiang!

But why did she come to him?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he politely responded, "Hello, Xiao Zixuan."

Seeing that Xiao Zixuan was a little reserved, Jiang Linlin deliberately found a topic to ease his nervousness. "Mr. Xiao, the poem you just wrote is so wonderful!"

Xiao Zixuan shook his head awkwardly, "Miss Jiang, you are too kind to praise me. I am not talented enough to accept it."

"Mr. Xiao, don't belittle yourself. I think you are the first in this competition. The teacher just said that for the sake of Madam Hou." Jiang Linlin said indignantly.

If she is not Madam Hou's daughter, how can it be her turn!

Xiao Zixuan was a little shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Linlin to say that. He looked around and saw that no one noticed them. He was relieved. He said hurriedly, "Miss Jiang, be careful with your words! The teacher has always been fair and just, not what you said."

This woman is really outspoken!

Fortunately, no one heard it.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Jiang Linlin pouted.

"Miss, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will leave." Xiao Zixuan just wanted to stay away from this brainless woman. His target was not her.

"Wait, young master!" Jiang Linlin said hurriedly, "I have always loved poetry collections. I wonder if I can make friends with you? Can we meet to talk about poetry in our spare time?"

Xiao Zixuan instantly realized that the woman must be interested in him.

But it's good, just in case.

"Okay." The two became friends, made a casual appointment and parted ways.

Jiang Linlin was very excited and returned to her sisters.

"Linlin, you are not attracted to that young master, are you?" Miss Xu joked when she saw her smiling face.

"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Linlin ran away shyly.
