Chapter 116: Mockery From Keke
Zhaohua Commandery Princess’s combat strength is still very strong. Coupled with her status, she actually berated a group of scholars by herself.
She looked at Lin Wan’e, with clear disgust in her eyes.
As for why she was like this, it was actually because, like many women, she secretly admired Imperial Chancellor Rong Zhi.
But Rong Zhi disdained the admiration and pursuit of anyone, even the current princess.
Even when the Emperor wanted to grant him a marriage, Rong Zhi publicly declared that he would not marry in this life.
This broke many people’s hearts, and they even suspected if he had someone in his heart, whom he would remain chaste for, that’s why he was like this.
But what was discovered was that Imperial Chancellor Rong Zhi had never had any intimate contact with any woman.
He was naturally cold-blooded and not interested in any woman.
Of course, there were some who suspected if he was interested in men because of this.
The result was that he was equally indifferent to men, and only had a few friends, and those friends were already married with children.
Therefore, Rong Zhi became the white moonlight for many women in Shangjing.
Knowing that he did not want to marry, those women, though disappointed, felt a secret joy.
Because they felt that if the wife of Imperial Chancellor Rong Zhi wasn’t them, then no other woman was worthy of him!
In this way, many women in Shangjing became Rong Zhi’s fans, admiring and appreciating him.
Among Rong Zhi’s fans were some extreme fans. When they discovered someone was coveting him and trying to approach him by any means, they wished they could kill that woman, feeling that those women were not worthy of Rong Zhi.
This powerful Zhaohua Commandery Princess was one of those extreme fans.
But Zhaohua Commandery Princess had a fiancé, and her family could not possibly not let her get married.
This was also one of the points that made Zhaohua Commandery Princess hate Lin Wan’e the most.
She didn’t have much affection for her fiancé, but that man was seduced by that bitch Lin Wan’e, and like those superficial men, he revolved around Lin Wan’e.
This was like trampling her dignity on the ground!
Lin Wan’e was also setting her sights on the Imperial Chancellor.
Any one of these things was unbearable for her, let alone both of them combined!
Zhaohua Commandery Princess found fault with Lin Wan’e almost like a madwoman.
Upstairs, Keke, after observing Zhaohua Commandery Princess’s face, understood what had happened between her and Lin Wan’e and whispered it to Qin Wanwan.
Qin Wanwan leaned on the window, her beautiful big eyes staring at the crowd below, who were on the verge of fighting, watching the drama unfold.
The fight started because of Zhaohua Commandery Princess’s fiancé.
Zhaohua Commandery Princess’s fiancé was the son of the Minister of Works’ family. He disliked the marriage his family had arranged for him.
Zhaohua Commandery Princess was notoriously arrogant in Shangjing. He liked gentle, demure, and talented women.
Lin Wan’e perfectly hit all his aesthetic points.
Seeing Lin Wan’e being reprimanded and hurt by his fiancée at this moment, he immediately stepped forward and angrily accused Zhaohua Commandery Princess.
“Zhaohua Commandery Princess, do you still have the demeanor of a lady? Miss Lin was merely discussing poetry with us, how did it become so vulgar in your eyes? I think it depends on what kind of person you are to think that way!”
Zhaohua Commandery Princess was furious. What kind of foolish fiancé had her family found for her, who would openly scold his fiancée for defending another woman in front of so many people.
“Hit him, go ahead and hit him, don’t just get angry! Swing that whip in your hand!”
Just as Zhaohua Commandery Princess, in her anger, pointed the whip at her fiancé, and her fiancé steadfastly shielded Lin Wan’e behind him, and Lin Wan’e secretly showed a proud smile, an excited voice came from above.
Everyone looked up and realized that at some point, a bird watching the show had appeared above them.
“Why are you all looking at me? Why haven’t you started fighting yet.”
Keke’s tone was disappointed.
Zhaohua Commandery Princess’s fiancé’s face turned red with anger: “Where did this stinking bird come from? Shoot it down for this young master!”
Immediately, a servant boy threw something upwards.
Keke flew around, and the things that fell down landed on the people below, causing complaints everywhere.
“Shameless! You man, you don’t deserve a fiancée. Don’t you see so many men fawning over that woman, showering her with attention? What kind of decent girl has so many men surrounding her? Oh, prostitutes do.”
Keke flew and cursed, it had no good feelings towards this woman who had harmed its cub’s five fathers.
And she shamelessly plagiarized others’ poems!
When Lin Wan’e heard that parrot comparing her to a prostitute, she became so angry that her whole body turned red and trembled.
She was truly angry.
Zhaohua Commandery Princess, on the other hand, burst into laughter, finding the parrot that spoke so fluently particularly pleasing.
“Have it shot down!”
Zhaohua Commandery Princess immediately said: “I’d like to see who dares!”
“Idiots, idiots, all of you are idiots. It’s a disgrace that you call yourselves scholars. I think all of you must be at the bottom of your class in the academy, otherwise how could you possibly think she’s talented.
Even I, a bird, can tell that a poem like that couldn’t possibly be written by a sheltered woman. Are all of you blinded by lust and have lost your minds?”
Keke was above the crowd, and even if those people wanted to shoot it with arrows, they wouldn’t dare.
After all, those present were either scholars or noble young masters. If someone were accidentally hit, it would be a disaster.
“The children of the southern village bullied me, old and weak, how can they be thieves to my face… I returned, leaning on my staff, and sighed, can’t you hear it, are your ears deaf or are your hearts blind? Is this a poem that a young girl living in a luxurious mansion could write? This is clearly a poem written by an old man.
And you, you are also an idiot, not even bothering to change it when you plagiarize. A quilt has been cold as iron for many years, my beloved child sleeps restlessly on the bed, and the eaves are leaking with no dry spot, and the rain falls like hemp, not yet broken. You are the daughter, even if a concubine’s daughter, of the Minister of Rites. The Minister of Rites could not be so poor as to let you live in a leaky thatched hut.
And the child you brought with you, hahaha… it’s hilarious, how is your brain capacity not even as big as a bird’s, idiots, idiots, all idiots…”
Although everyone trembled with anger at the “idiots” that came out of Keke’s mouth, they also sensed something was wrong with the poem.
When Lin Wan’e recited her poem, they were only focused on appreciating its beauty, especially the latter part, “I wish I had a grand mansion with ten thousand rooms, to shelter all the poor scholars and bring them joy,” which stirred the hearts of many poor students.
At that time, they didn’t delve deeper into the poem’s meanings.
In fact, some people had noticed something was wrong, but the situation at the time was heated, especially with several powerful young masters flattering Lin Wan’e. They didn’t say anything even when they realized something was amiss.
But now that it was directly pointed out by a bird, although they were angry at being called idiots, their gazes towards Lin Wan’e changed.
Lin Wan’e’s heart skipped a beat, and with her beautiful eyes, she looked at Keke as if she wanted to kill it!
