Chapter 46 The Talent Conference V


    Qingyan naturally didn''t think that Chunyuan would say something like that. After all, it wasn''t proper to


    sit next to the Princess. Even if she really wanted to sit by her side at that moment, she could only


    decline her kind offer with a smile, "Thank you for your Highness''s kind offer, but Yan''er is one of the


    conference candidates. If I were to sit by Princess''s side, it wouldn''t be proper. If Yan''er takes first ce


    in this conference today, then afterwards I can openly sit by Princess''s side."


    Chunyuan gazed at Qingyan and once againpared her to Qilian Qingyan in her mind. Especially


    that confide smile of hers, it was all too simr. But she also knows that this girl before her isn''t the


    already deceased Xianyi Empress.


    Chunyuan held her hand and spoke in a clear voice, "Alright alright! If Yan''er takes first ce here


    today, then I will ask the Emperor for an imperial edict to bestow you the honorary title of ''Princess'',


    and let you and Min''er can be equals."


    Qingyan didn''t think Chunyuan would make such an attractive offer. She look to Chunyuan grinning,


    "Thank you your Highness. If Yan''er is lucky enough to take first ce, then your Highness''s trust in me


    won''t be in vain."


    Hearing Qingyan boasting so shamelessly, some of the people below began to feel unsatisfied. They


    all whispered to one another, ''Su Qingyan was only talking big, how could she be the winner,


    that''s practically dreaming. She was theughing stock of the talent conference year after year.''


    "Jingxuan, is this the girl the Su fourth miss you mentioned today?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen twirled his jade


    ring as he turned to ask Murong Jingxuan.


    Murong Jingxuan patted Xuanyuan Yuzhen on the shoulder and smirked, "She''s mine, don''t you dare


    try to steal her."


    "I don''t see how this girl is all that impressive!" Xuanyuan Yukai looked to Su Qingyan and reluctantly


    shrugged his shoulders, "Jingxuan, just what do you see in her?"


    Murong Jingxuan turn to Xuanyuan Yukai and shook his head with a ''can''t say'' look, "When the time


    The so called talent conference was just battle of talents among women, archery and ridingpetition


    among men, and literary debate. And for the princes, through this they can gather various talents or

    select their own consort.


    Aside from the Crown Prince having already married, the rest have yet to marry. Although they all have


    their own manors, and concubines in those manors, but the position of the princess consort is still


    empty.


    "Second brother, isn''t that girl the one that embarrassed herself in front of youst year, Dingguo


    Duke''s daughter? Yet now, she has be so bright and clever." Xuanyuan Yuze sneered at


    Xuanyuan Yufan. "And seeing second brother''s look now, could it be that you''re regretful?"


    "Heh." Xuanyuan Yufan coldly snorted, "Where did such wordse from, elder brother? I merely


    thought it was interesting, that''s all."


    Xuanyuan Yufan stared at the Su Qingyan sitting next Chunyuan, a malicious intenting from his


    eyes. Atst year''s talent conference, unknown as to who she listened to, she kept coylybing her


    hair in front of him. As a result, in the end, not only did it let him lose face, but it also made her be


    theughing stock of the entire conference. He just didn''t believe that in only a year''s time, she could


    now take first ce in this conference.


    That''s just a pipe dream.


    The heavy curtains of the talent conference opened under the sound of a sharp voice. For the girls


    team, it was mainly apetition of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. And through lots, decide


    which talent to test in. If one were to draw a category one is not skilled in, then they''ll definitely fall


    behind the others.


    After finish drawing lots, Su Qingyuan drew chess, something she was not good in. As for Su Qingwen,


    she was lucky enough to get calligraphy in which she was skilled in.


    When Su Qingyan opened the slip of paper, the words ''Gu Qin'' reflected in her eyes in astonishment.


    After scanning the paper, she spread the slip t out on the tray. Although she wasn''t skilled in guqin,


    but if she performed [Thousand Beasts and Phoenix] using that guqin, it''ll still be more than enough.


    Plus, she also wanted to see Liu Shang''s reaction.


    "It seems fourth sister drew the qin. But I''ve never heard fourth sister y the qin before." Su Qingyuan


    sneered at Su Qingyan, "When the timees, don''t let it be interesting only when you pluck off the


    strings."


    "Yuan''er, could it be that you''ve seen Su Qingyan pluck loose the strings on the qin before?" Du Yulin


    look to Su Qingyan in disdain.


    "No, but didn''t you know that fourth sister is from a family of generals. That qin string will just snap with


    a single light pluck." Su Qingwen also joined in on making fun of Qingyan.


    In contrast, Qingyan look to them with an uncaring look, "If you have time to make fun of me, why don''t


    you go think about how you''re going perform when it''s your turn."


    As soon as Qingyan''s words came out, they red at Qingyan before turning to leave. However, when


    Su Qingyuan and Su Qingwen turned to leave, they gave Qingyan a look of contempt.


    It was as if they''ve already decided to see Su Qingyan make a fool of herself.


    "Yan''er, you drew the guqin?" Luo Yixin walked up to her with a worried look, "How about you trade


    with me? I got painting."


    Luo Yixin was implying that painting was easier. No matter what is drawn, it won''t beughed at. But if


    it''s as what Su Qingyuan and Su Qingwen said, the string really gets plucked loose, then it''d really


    be aughing matter.


    "Xin''er, why say that?" Su Qingyan looked towards Luo Yixin with a smirk, "No need to worry, I naturally


    have a way to win."


    Seeing Su Qingyan''s confident look, Luo Yixin obviously couldn''t say how she truly felt. However, she


    really has never seen Su Qingyan y the qin before. What would happen if she really were to


    embarrass herself when the time came?


    Murong Jingxuan secretly rejoiced in his heart when he saw that confident smile on Su Qingyan. That


    girl surely won''t let him be disappointed. Although, starting from the first day they met, when has she


    ever disappointed him?


    "Brother Jingxuan, does that girl really not know how to y the qin? She won''t really break the strings


    on the qin, will she?" Xuanyuan Yuning asked in surprised, "I feel it''s best not to trust what that girl


    says."


    "That''s what I think too. After all, she did embarrass herself at the talent conferencest year, bing


    theughing stock among the princes." Xuanyuan Yukai look to Su Qingyan and recalled the scene at


    "How about we make a bet?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan''s voice sounded at the same


    time.


    Murong Jingxuan look to Xuanyuan Yuzhen with an unsatisfied expression, "Didn''t I already say that


    girl is mine, you can''t steal her from me."


    Xuanyuan Yuzhen twisted the jade ring on his thumb, "Since it''s someone Jingxuan is interested in, I


    naturally will need to think it over. Though now it seems I should obviously go head to head with you to


    see who''s better."


    "Che." Murong Jingxuan look to him in disdain, "What do you want to bet?"
