Chapter 147: Stand Out - Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

 Chapter 147: Stand Out

Su Cheng teased the two of them, recalling how when they first met, they seemed like a perfect couple. Now, are they deliberately putting on this affectionate appearance just to provoke him?

"I'm still unmarried. What I dislike the most is seeing lovey-dovey couples. Mu Qian, whatever gold coins you have, give them to her. In the end, they'll all end up in my bowl, so don't waste them!"

Su Cheng's smug expression offended everyone present. People stopped fighting each other and even turned against their own allies. Xu Mingyue didn't even want to associate with him anymore.

Thus, the final situation turned into Su Cheng single-handedly battling against all other opponents, using his advantage of narrowly winning three rounds to take down all the winnings.

However, he wasn't a stingy person. "The Moonlight Glass Cup, I'll send it to your mansion another day. Since I won so much from you all, it's only fair to make a gesture. But I don't want to give it to Feng Jinlin. Let's give it to Sanmei instead."

He said these words to Feng Jinyao. Even though she hadn't participated, she ended up getting a good thing for free. This luck really... made others jealous.

Feng Jinyao smiled wryly, "Then... I humbly accept."

Su Cheng laughed more boldly than ever, but there was a hint of loneliness in Yin Canwen's eyes.

Yes, most of the people around her were from noble backgrounds. With her abilities and beauty, she could marry into the royal family. As for himself, just a scholar, what could he offer except perhaps the lantern in his house? What qualifications did he have to compete with others?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel somewhat sad.

No one noticed this beside him, but Feng Jinyao, who had lived through two lifetimes, understood more about love and affairs than others. Unfortunately, there were some emotions she couldn't respond to, like those of Yin Canwen.

Now her sole focus was on how to save the Bai and Feng families from their predicament. She didn't want to think about anything else, nor could she.

She could only pretend to know nothing and enjoy herself with everyone else.

The Feng family was lively, and the Changchun Tower was no less.

Outside, the common people were still busy celebrating the Lantern Festival. Inside the elegant rooms, everyone flattered Princess Changlin.

Liang Gongzi had Wei Lanxuan with her, so naturally she wouldn't be too presumptuous at such times. But Wen Xinglu and Wen Mengsheng were displaying all their talents, hoping to impress Princess Changlin.

After all, being associated with her was equivalent to being associated with the Emperor. How could they not rack their brains?

Liang Luo and Bai Sihan were also not giving way. In the rear courtyard, aside from the Empress, Consort Wei, and Princess Fulin, the most noble was probably Princess Changlin. Even Consort Liu, the mother of the Sixth Prince, found it difficult to compare.

With such high status and power, how could they not show their faces before her?

"I've heard of Master Wen before, praised in the Yangchun Poetry Society. Such people are rare."

Wen Xinglu didn't dare to be presumptuous. As a mere scholar, he was actually remembered by the Princess. He respectfully replied, "Princess overpraises. It's just a matter of timing."

This attitude reduced the Princess's interest somewhat.

She was naturally rebellious and liked to go against others. Those who were submissive could only be her temporary playthings.

Seeing his handsome appearance, it was a pity that he was a bit servile.

Turning to Wen Mengsheng, she said, "Your father is quite capable. I've heard His Majesty praise him several times."

"My father is His Majesty's servant, and it is his duty to be loyal and dutiful." Wen Mengsheng always spoke with great caution. Apart from the Feng family who disagreed with him, anyone who spoke with him was always greeted with a smile.

Bai Sihan's gaze was hot, and it was obvious even through the smoke, not to mention Liang Luo's beside him

"Master Wen's reputation precedes him. It's not often one hears praise from the Spring Poetry Society."

Wen Xinglu didn't mind and, as a mere scholar, was surprised the Princess remembered him. He humbly replied, bowing, "Princess exaggerates. It was just a matter of timing."

Such an attitude slightly diminished Princess Princess Changlin's interest.

She was naturally rebellious and enjoyed going against others. Those who were submissive could only be her temporary playthings.

He looked decent enough, but unfortunately, he was a bit servile.

Turning to Wen Mengsheng, she said, "Your father is quite capable. I've heard His Majesty praise him several times."

Another person wanted to climb up high, but he didn't look at her background!

Liang Luo's eyes were full of contempt, and she raised her sleeve to cover her mouth, taunting Bai Sihan, "Chickens are chickens, and phoenixes are phoenixes. Some chickens think they were born in the wrong nest and want to fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix. Do you find that ridiculous or not?"

Bai Sihan never thought that Liang Luo would insult her like this face to face, burning with anger but also know that it was not a good time to explode. She also picked up her tea and did not admit defeat to Liang Luo. She said, "Someone once told me that all flowers bloom regardless of their background, and the winner is the one who laughs last. Liang Luo, why do you keep holding onto my background?"

"You... just because you compare yourself to my father?"

Liang Luo had been at home for a long time, but she didn't change her reckless nature, and the Princess was tearing her face apart.

Wei Lanxuan noticed that the princess's face was unhappy and quickly changed the subject. "I heard that this year's foreign envoy congratulates the matter. The Duke of Zhengguo's family is here to take care of this matter. After the Lantern Festival tonight, it will be lively for all the national congratulations."

Speaking of the Duke of Zhengguo's family, Princess Changlin's eyes darkened and she raised the tea in her hand and took two sips. After putting down the cup, she said slowly, "Miss Wei is right. The national congratulatory ceremony is more lively than the Lantern Festival. I heard that the envoys from various countries will arrive in a few days and will be seen before the first month."

Although the Ministry of Rites is in charge of this matter, the Empress has long taken this welcoming and sending matter to the eldest prince.

Now the eldest prince's family is busy with the matter, and the other princes are watching the fun.

Princess Changlin has always been involved in the partisan struggle, but recently she has been in a mess with the Princess Palace and the Prince Kang Mansion. Although her grandfather has not said anything to her, she has been with him for many years. It is not false to guess a few thoughts and want to take advantage of the princess's thoughts.

So she kept this idea, naturally want to explore the princess's breath today.

"The princess's golden and jade noble, the scenes of those envoys' congratulations naturally can be seen, but it is a pity that we can only hear the excitement outside the palace."

"Miss Wei said, I remember a few years ago, it was also the day of the national congratulations. Didn't you follow the Lady of Wei? This time, I'm afraid I can also think of it."

The breath failed, but was teased by Princess Changlin.

In the past, I could accompany the princess's aunt because she was the future wife of the Ninth Prince. Now... My aunt is fortunate not to blame her, how can I go again?
I laughed two times, and I didn't want to talk.

On the contrary, Liang Luo, the brainless one, rushed forward and said, "Princess, my sister-in-law is the most favored by the Imperial Concubine. Naturally, she has to go this year, right, sister-in-law?"

Wei Lanxuan wished she could throw this tactless sister-in-law out. Anyone with a discerning eye could understand what she was saying, but she was brainless and was making a fool of herself by getting close to her.

As expected, Princess Changlin chuckled, looked at Liang Luo, then looked at Wei Lanxuan, and said considerately, "Well, I will definitely fulfill Miss Liang's wish."
