The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 53 The Same Eyes
"The current emperor loves his people like his own children and has never called others pariahs. Your status was given by the emperor! Can it be higher than the emperor's?" Bai Qianxi spoke in a loud and clear voice that penetrated the entire hall, causing the literati who were still discussing poetry to look over.

In this era, even if literati did not hold official positions, they were still sought after. Noble families did not dare to offend them easily, because you didn't know which of your actions would be written into a collection and publicized.

So Bai Qianxi's words made people look at her, and Chu Yingruo's face changed immediately. She glanced around guiltily, but did not dare to say anything more. She could only look at Bai Qianxi fiercely, clenched her fists, and said, "This princess has remembered what happened today. Let's wait and see!"

After Chu Yingruo left, Cheng Shaoyi looked at Bai Qianxi with admiration, "Wu Niang, you are so awesome! You made Princess Huaru suffer!"

As she spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on her face again. "However, although she is a princess, she has been raised in the palace since she was a child and is very favored. You didn't show her any mercy today, so you must be careful in the future."

"I will! But there are still laws in this world, and she won't dare to come here openly." Bai Qianxi smiled soothingly, and turned back with a deep look in her eyes.

Many things are not a matter of whether she is merciful or not. Even if she humbles herself and tolerates everything, there will not necessarily be a good result. It is better to make herself happy and bite off a piece of flesh from the other party even if she dies!

Soon, everyone took their seats. As the drums fell, the costumed actors came on stage to perform. Long, melodious notes sounded, and the performance was vivid. Everyone was so fascinated that they sobbed one after another.

Bai Qianxi was not in the mood for opera. When Chu Yingruo started to make a fuss, the image of Ye Beiyi lingered in her mind, making her upset.

As the curtain fell, applause broke out all around, and Bai Qianxi came back to her senses.

Cheng Shaoyi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the handkerchief in her hand was obviously wet. Bai Qianxi had no choice but to hand the handkerchief back to her, "Look, you've cried like a little rabbit!"

“Wow… It’s so touching, why aren’t you crying?” Cheng Shaoyi’s mood hasn’t calmed down yet, and there’s a tearful tone in his voice.

"I... I was born unable to cry!" Bai Qianxi thought for a while and said.

His indifferent look made his words inexplicably sad, and Cheng Shaoyi did not ask any more questions.

The two walked side by side, intending to leave, but ran into Bai Qianyi at the door.

Different from her usual ostentatious appearance, she was now dressed in a green dress with two jade hairpins pinned behind her head, giving her a scholarly air. But a closer look revealed that her makeup was delicate, a deliberate effort to create a gentle temperament.

"Fifth sister, look, you are here too!"

"It's quite a coincidence!" Bai Qianxi said calmly.

Bai Qianyi felt choked up when she saw her like this, but she still said with a smile, "There will be a poetry gathering soon, and you can come to participate too! That's perfect, we two sisters haven't been out together for a long time! Haven't you always admired talented people? It's a good opportunity to get to know more of them!"

Bai Qianyi's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for people around to hear clearly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Qianxi and the others saw the disdainful looks from the people around them.

You know, many talented scholars have always claimed to be noble and noble, and they love talent more than anything else. Xianjutang is the largest gathering place for scholars in the imperial city, and it is a sacred place for them. Bai Qianyi's words made them believe that Bai Qianxi came here just to meet talented people, and this idea of ​​impure talent was an insult to them.

So Bai Qianxi made all the literati disgusted with her without saying a word.

Cheng Shaoyi, who was standing by, became even more furious when he heard this. He was about to go up to argue, but Bai Qianxi held his hand back, and she spoke slowly.

"This is Xian Ju Tang. Why did you say this place is similar to the Red Mansion? Did you come here just to meet more literati and scholars so that you can make plans for the future?"

"..." Bai Qianyi was stunned and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I..."

"Don't you have any? From what you said, I thought you were very familiar with the process, so you wanted to take me to meet more people!" Bai Qianxi looked innocent and continued, "But... sister, I do admire knowledgeable people, but that is only an admiration for literati from the bottom of my heart. I just appreciate their works from afar. As for who they are and whether I want to get to know them or not, it has nothing to do with me!
But my sister must have some thoughts for saying such things, so I wish my sister...get what she wants!"

Bai Qianxi's words were sincere, and her eyes were dark and clear, making people feel that she was well-behaved and polite. In particular, she did not hide her admiration and praise for the literati, which immediately made many of the literati feel a little elated and very happy.

Bai Qianyi saw that she was eloquent and immediately changed everyone's tone. She felt upset, but she had to maintain her image. She could only smile and say, "It's my fault that I don't know how to speak, which made me misunderstand. But since you also admire talented people, today is a good opportunity. Why don't you take this opportunity to learn from each other?"

"No, I'm well-known for being illiterate. How dare I compete with you! If you guys play, I won't accompany you." Bai Qianxi said bluntly, then pulled Cheng Shaoyi away.

Bai Qianyi was like a punch on cotton. She could no longer maintain her smile. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed Bai Qianxi, lowering her voice and saying, "Bai Qianxi! Are you afraid?"

"Yes, I just don't dare!" Bai Qianxi raised her eyebrows and looked at the hand that was holding her arm, "Let go!"

This look made Bai Qianyi suddenly remember all the things she had done to her before. Her scalp went numb and she even felt like retreating. But she seemed to suddenly think of something, and a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes. Then she let out a scream and fell backwards.

"Sister... I meant well. I wanted you to make more friends. How... How could you hit me..." Bai Qianyi's eyes were instantly filled with tears. She looked so pitiful.

Seeing this, everyone came over and looked at Bai Qianxi with disgust and accusation in their eyes.

"Why is this person like this? Fourth Miss Bai is just being kind. If you don't want to do it, then forget it, but you can't do anything!"

"Yes! It is rumored that the talented Bai Si Niang has a sister who is like a fool. I originally thought that she was just ignorant, but I didn't expect her to be so unruly and vulgar. She dared to attack in public!"

"I think she was spoiled by her family. I heard that Mrs. Bai is virtuous and always responds to Bai Wu Niang's requests, just like her own daughter. Maybe at home, Miss Bai Si has to look at her eyes and is often bullied!"

"Ah, there is such a thing, a concubine's daughter can climb over the head of the legitimate daughter! Such a talentless and immoral woman should be locked up, severely punished and not allowed to go out, so as not to corrupt the morals!"

Cheng Shaoyi was immediately anxious when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? Wu Niang didn't push her at all. She fell down by herself!"
