102: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (6)

Su Yan later found many opportunities to get close to the study, but someone was guarding it outside and turned a deaf ear to her orders. It was obviously Gu Chengling’s person, which made her even more sure that Gu Chengling was not simple.

Even so, she couldn’t let go of her suspicions about Lu Ze. That day, Lu Ze had a break and was going to a poetry gathering. She changed into casual clothes and went out early in the morning, wanting to test it out again. After all, there were many people talking in the palace that day, and he had taboos. It was possible to keep a distance from her. If he was outside the palace, the result would be uncertain…

The annual Poetry Meeting of the Nightless Kingdom, which is a grand gathering where some literati and poets gather to communicate with friends through poetry, is held in Linyang Pavilion, the largest tavern in Kyoto.There are many talented people who are well-known because of their brilliant performance in poetry festivals, such as Lu Zeshi, the son of the prime minister, and Gu Chengling, the consort of Princess Changle.

It is said that Gu Chengling had no intention of participating in the poetry meeting that day. He was just passing by Linyang Pavilion. His usual rival saw him and dragged him in, hoping to see him make a fool of himself. At that time, he was just a poor scholar and could not refuse, so he had no choice but to compose a poem “Partridge Sky”. As soon as this poem was published, he immediately surpassed all other talents and made him a hot talent in Kyoto. This incident became a great story circulated in Kyoto.

Along the way, Su Yan would hear people talking about this matter from time to time. Su Yan chuckled in her heart. It seemed that she had underestimated the poetic talent of her consort.

The Poetry Club of the Nightless Kingdom is open to both men and women, and women can also participate. However, only men can compose poems, and women can only book a private room and watch from the sidelines.Every year, many well-known ladies from Kyoto come to watch the Poetry Festival, which also provides greater motivation for those talented people. Who doesn’t want to win the favor of beautiful women?

Su Yan also wanted to see the demeanor of the ancient literati. Although the original owner had participated for several years for Lu Ze, it only existed in his memory after all, and was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes.

Today she wore an ordinary girl’s dress, which was nothing luxurious. A light powder was applied on her face, which made her skin as smooth as jade. Even the ordinary dress still did not cover up her beauty.As soon as she stepped into Linyang Pavilion, she attracted everyone’s attention. Fortunately, it was still early, not many people came, and almost all the sons of powerful people had not arrived yet, so no one recognized her.

After she handed the sign to the waiter, she was quickly invited to a private room on the second floor. After she inquired about the poetry meeting, she made a reservation very early. Because she did not want to reveal her identity, she booked an ordinary private room. But even so, it was still too extraordinary in the eyes of others. For such a grand event, everyone wanted to have a look. Ordinary dignitaries could not book a private room even if they were rich. Those who could book a private room must be the richest among the powerful.

There was a pot of tea and a plate of lotus cakes placed in front of Su Yan’s table. She liked eating these pastries for some reason, so she specially asked the guy from Linyang Pavilion to go to Bichunfang to buy them.While eating the lotus cake, she observed the situation outside through the window. Unknowingly, there were only two pieces of pastry left on the plate. She burped with satisfaction, just in time to see Lu Ze step in the door, and she immediately became energetic.

As soon as he entered, everyone gathered around him to admire him, some to flatter him, and some to sincerely admire him. He was always humble and polite, without a trace of impatience, and he had a great time chatting with all the children from a poor family.Su Yan put her hands on her cheek and looked at him for a while. Based on her intuition, the qualities shown by Lu Ze should be genuine. She couldn’t help but admire him.

Before the poetry meeting started, Su Yan handed the waiter a rose-white copper carving sachet, which was exquisite and unique, and asked the waiter to give it to Lu Ze and invite him to come up and see it.The original owner secretly tore the sachet from Lu Ze and kept it in the dowry. Now that she is here, she has no such thoughts about Lu Ze. Naturally, she will find an opportunity to return it to him, just in time to ask him to meet, killing two birds with one stone.

The waiter couldn’t help but look at Su Yan a few more times. Although this girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was outstanding in appearance, and she also took out such an exquisite men’s sachet. She was not Mr. Lu’s lover, right?Even if it was true as he guessed, he didn’t dare to ask too much, lest he get killed.

Lu Ze came very quickly, probably because he was curious about who was holding his belongings and asking him to meet.When he opened the door, he saw a slender figure, frail and beautiful, who was actually a woman?There was some surprise on his face, and then the woman turned around. When he saw her face clearly, Lu Ze’s thick eyebrows frowned tightly, turned around, closed the door, and said distantly: “See you, princess.”

Su Yan raised her eyebrows, “Brother Ze, you and I don’t need to be so open to each other. Since we’re here, why don’t we sit together for a while?”

Lu Ze still stood by the door without moving. He cupped his hands towards Su Yan and said, “Princess, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first.”

Seeing that he was leaving, Su Yan hurriedly said: “Brother Ze, are you going to disobey my order?”

Lu Ze’s hand on the door paused, then took it back, reluctantly walked to the table and sat down, and asked, “What does the princess want to say?”

Su Yan glanced at the sachet in his hand and whispered: “Brother Ze probably doesn’t know how your sachet got into my hands, right?” After she finished speaking, she showed a playful smile, like a quirky little girl. Lu Ze was stung by the smile on her face, and immediately lowered his eyes, and her voice sounded in his ears again: “This is me”Teared off from you.”Lu Ze looked up at her with dissatisfaction, and she continued: “I just want your fragrance to accompany me to sleep. I want to see you every day, but you are always cold to me, but I can tolerate it. You are the only person I have tolerated for so many years. You have always known that I like you, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ze suddenly stood up with a look of displeasure on his face, “Princess, I’m sorry to be with you!”

“Lu Ze, what do you want? When I asked you to be my consort, you refused to do anything. Why am I not worthy of you? If you marry me, you will have power and wealth at your fingertips, and it will even allow your Lu family to reach higher heights.Why do you still refuse?Even if you change your mind now, I can make peace with Gu Chengling immediately and let you be my consort.” Seeing her leaving, Su Yan felt a little anxious and said all she had thought of.

The expression on Lu Ze’s face did not waver in the slightest, and he said seriously: “Princess, I have said it many times, I already have a fiancée, and it will be her who will spend my life with me. Princess, don’t have any expectations for me.”

“Don’t you want the Lu family to move to a higher level?”

Lu Ze shook his head, “It is enough for the Lu family to climb to this position. There is no need to go in anymore. I have already made it very clear. Please stop worrying about it, princess. Also, it is not good for others to call you brother Ze. The princess should just call me by my name in the future.” After saying this, Su Yan did not give Su Yan any room to refute, and strode out of the private room.

In fact, Su Yan had nothing to say. The results of the test had already come out. Lu Ze was a loyal minister with upright roots. That person should not be him. So, the one who is most suspected now is Gu Chengling?

She just thought about it for a moment, turned her head and saw Gu Chengling’s figure.
