Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 68: No Bai Yu, Only Bai Yu!

"The demon star descends, unmatched in the world, aiding me in rising up and slaughtering all four corners!"

"Accomplishing the affairs of the emperor, eternal greatness and fame!"

Lan Chi gazed intensely at Bai Yu, loudly reciting the poems he had written.

For a moment, there was an eerie silence at the scene.

Are Lan Chi's poems good?

Well... how should I put it?

They can't be considered great, but it's truly commendable for His Highness, a mere martial artist, to be able to produce such poems.

Can they be considered bad?

Clearly, they cannot!

Apart from the Grand Princess, no one else present has the qualifications to comment on the Second Prince.

Moreover, the Second Prince himself has a rebellious and domineering personality, and his actions cannot be judged by common sense.

If he becomes displeased, he might draw his sword and spill blood on the spot. It's highly possible!

Coupled with a small life, that would be a huge loss!

However, whether the poems are good or not is not the main point.

The main point is the content of the poems.

The title set by the Grand Princess is "Bai Yu."

Although it sounds similar to "Bai Yu" in a hidden manner, it doesn't explicitly indicate it.

Among those who entered by completing the title, "910,"

All of them used beautiful words to describe the virtuous qualities bestowed upon Bai Yu, secretly comparing themselves to him.

In this way, they were able to enter.

182702...

Wow, this person doesn't even bother to pretend.

Directly looking at Bai Yu, speaking with a strong killing intent and ambitious words.

Where is Bai Yu?

Wasn't the title "Bai Yu"?

Where is the Bai Yu?

There is... only Bai Yu!

And this poem also quotes the phrase "accomplishing the affairs of the emperor."

This is a half line from the poem that Bai Yu's imperial examination essay circulated.

What does the Second Prince mean?

Everyone present is intelligent. With a simple thought, they can guess the hidden meaning behind this.

It goes without saying!

The direction of this poem is very clear!

It's Bai Yu!

How is this possible?

What charm does Bai Yu possess?

The Grand Princess favors him so much!

The second prince, who despises scholars, unexpectedly barged into the English Virtuous Poetry Society and confronted the eldest princess head-on.

Despite not loving literature, he wrote a poem for her.

The prince and princess, who are most likely to inherit the throne, are now competing against each other!

What a face-saving moment!

In an instant, everyone looked at the elegant young man sitting in the first seat of the highest rank, and their understanding of him deepened.

Lan Xi: ............

Lan Xi: !!!

So angry, so angry, so angry!!!!

What is this?

This is simply a face-to-face NTR (cuckolding)!

I set up this topic to improve Bai Yu's favorability!

But now, how come you, my annoying little brother, are using your mediocre literary skills to reverse the favorability gained from my topic?!

This feeling is really no different from being cheated on!

And, he even used her bed!

Lan Chi's intention was very clear, and the scholars present immediately understood.

Naturally, Lan Xi also understood.

"How is it? Sister? Can my poem enter this poetry society?"

"Sister alone deciding this poetry society may be biased. How about I join you?"

Lan Chi lightly smiled and asked Lan Xi.

"Hmph!"

So rotten!

"Take a seat!"

I've been played!

You've already barged in, can I kick you out?

Lan Xi coldly stared at her smiling brother, feeling very unhappy.

She snorted and waved her hand towards the attendant, ordering them to set up a table and chairs at her lower right position.

This is a literary gathering, so she cannot act rudely and drive away her annoying brother.

If he goes crazy and causes a scene, this poetry society will be ruined.

So, she can only give him a seat and let him sit here.

"Hahaha~"

"Sister, you truly have a discerning eye!"

Lan Chi laughed heartily and sat confidently in the seat arranged by Lan Xi,

Completely ignoring the various gazes around him.

The poetry society continued,

The servant who registered the participants continued to call out the names of the twenty ink fragrance guests under Lan Xi's gaze.

However, after this incident...

The atmosphere on the scene has become even more peculiar.

"Princess, you have great tactics!"

Lan Chi looked around, scanning the crowd of scholars.

Lowering her gaze slightly, she sighed and said to Lan Xi.

The English Virtuous Poetry Society is just a literary exchange, where people only discuss aesthetics and do not involve any political factors.

But if you say there are no political factors, are there really none?

In recent years, all the officials who participated in the poetry society's selection exams are supporters of the princess.

"I'll take that as a compliment!"

Lan Xi glanced at him and said lightly.

This younger brother has always been at odds with her, and he has changed even more after joining the military.

He wants to compete with her for position!

She also has her own ambitions and ideals! She will never back down!

"Hey!"

"Princess, you have many talented people on your side!"

"It wouldn't hurt to give Bai Yu to my brother, would it?"

One of the joys of being a king is collecting talented officials and building one's own team to conquer the world.

Bai Yu, this young scholar, caught Lan Chi's attention.

He really appreciates this person.

Being regarded as a confidant by a man doesn't require doing much or saying much.

Sometimes, just a few words are enough.

So, he didn't hesitate to personally attend this poetry society, appearing in front of these scholars, and even composed a poem to express his admiration for Bai Yu.

The favorability shouldn't only be increased for the princess, right?

"You're dreaming!"

Everyone present would give up, but she would never give up on that talented scholar!

He is an unprecedented extraordinary minister, possessing the power to change the world and turn decay into magic.

TEL...

"Then let's rely on our own abilities!"

Lan Chi's smile gradually faded as she said calmly.

At first, he thought Lan Xi might not know what makes Bai Yu different, and perhaps didn't respect him much.

There have been rumors in the capital that literati do not like Bai Yu.

But unexpectedly,

It seems that Lan Xi also appreciates Bai Yu.

He already knew this after seeing the plaque at the entrance.

"Hmph!"

My score is higher than yours!

The princess snorted and thought to herself, somewhat childishly.

"LET...

Second Prince, don't look at me like that, I'm scared.

As the protagonist caught in the struggle between two dragons, the center of attention for everyone.

Bai Yu felt a bit strange,

How should I put it?

There's a sense of déjà vu, like a Mary Sue drama where a country girl is pursued by two wealthy young masters.

The Second Prince's gaze... Could it be that his sexual orientation is a bit off?

It seems like in the history of the royal family in my past life, they played around a lot in this aspect!

Minus two points for the Second Prince!

The eldest princess selected twenty ink fragrance guests to take their seats,

The poetry gathering can be considered officially started.

Amidst the amazed gazes of everyone, one by one, the beauties with heavy makeup and glamorous attire appeared, gracefully walking onto the central stage, swaying their waists, lightly dancing in their flowing skirts, showcasing their graceful and elegant dance moves to everyone.

In this era, there aren't many forms of entertainment.

This kind of singing and dancing can be considered the highest level of enjoyment.

At the same time,

The servant who had just seated the twenty ink fragrance guests stood up again, holding a letter in his hand, and loudly announced to the people below, "His Highness Lan Xi has a question: Please write about your aspirations in life, gentlemen scholars."

It's time to do the real thing!

As soon as the words fell, everyone trembled,

Their gazes also shifted away from the performance on the stage, becoming slightly more focused,

His Highness has posed a question!

Aspirations in life?

This is somewhat unexpected!

Completely different from the usual topics of praising flowers, moon, and scenery.

"Bai Yu... What is your ideal?"

Lan Xi's gaze was intense as she looked at the young man who ranked first among the scholars,

She secretly wondered.

This question actually has nothing to do with the other scholars.

It's just for one person.

The others are just background, Lan Xi doesn't care about them.

She just wants to use this reason to understand Bai Yu.

She has already told Bai Yu about her own ideals.

Now, she wants to know what Bai Yu's aspirations in life are.

"Great question, Princess!"

Lan Chi looked at Lan Xi with interest and couldn't help but praise.

He despised those useless poems about flowers and moon.

Asking about aspirations in life, this question is somewhat useful.

Similarly, he has also confided his ideals to Bai Yu,

He is also curious about Bai Yu's aspirations in life.

He believes that someone who would say "military strength is the dignity of the country" must have similar ideals to him!
