Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

As the last notes of Zhang Yanyan's song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" fell, the warm-up performance ended and the Peony Flower Festival officially began!

Gu Jiaojiao didn't come back until the prince announced the opening of the show.

Gu Chengyan's mind went blank.

Shi Xiu sighed and said to him, "Master Gu, the prince said that you should open the show with the original poems. Even if these poems are leaked, no one can surpass them."

Gu Chengyan breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely grateful to the prince. He quickly straightened his clothes, calmed down his panic, and went on stage.

Hua Zisheng smiled and announced according to the procedure: "Please invite Prince Gu to compose a new poem for this peony flower show to open it!"

Gu Chengyan walked towards the stage under the attention of the crowd.

He has a slender figure and elegant manner, wearing a green brocade robe, a belt with a green background and mutton-fat white jade on it, and a hair crown with mutton-fat jade of the same color on his head. He looks like the green fairy in the peony garden in poems and paintings.

How many noble ladies looked at him with twinkling eyes and their hearts fluttered.

Xie Xiangxiang looked at him with joy, her heart full of pride. Once upon a time, she could only look at him, because he was her brother-in-law.

Now, this banished immortal-like person is hers.

Her gaze was too straightforward, and suddenly she met a scrutinizing gaze. She looked over and was stunned for a moment.

It was Zhou Lingyin, the grandson of Prince Jing and the man in her previous life.

Today, Zhou Lingyin is only sixteen years old, studying at Yulong Academy. His grades are average, and he hangs out with a group of useless playboys all day long.

Thinking of how he had been fond of brothels in his previous life and had brought so many concubines into his house, Xie Xiangxiang still felt uneasy.

She glared at him angrily.

Zhou Lingyin was stared at in bewilderment. Could this woman be the wife that his family had originally promised him?

You're not that good looking, and you don't want to marry me. You want to marry this cuckold?

Tsk, luckily it didn’t work out, otherwise I would be so disgusted!

So Zhou Lingyin glared back without any hesitation.

When he glared like that, he saw Xie Zhaozhao not far from Xie Xiangxiang.

So, is that Guanyin noodles?

He did not sit in Prince Jing's mansion, but sat with Yin Jinan, Li Yunmu and other famous young villains in the capital.

He reached out and pulled Li Yunmu's clothes, and nodded at Xie Zhaozhao: "Hey, Xie family, that, is that the legendary living Guanyin?"

Li Yunmu, the second brother of the Duke of Ying, glanced at Xie Zhaozhao lightly, then quickly retracted his gaze and slapped Zhou Lingyin: "Don't look at her carelessly. How can the eldest daughter of the Xie family look at her casually? Who are we toads? We are not the same as her."

"Why did you hit me? I didn't say anything bad about her. I just said she was like a fairy..."

"You said you didn't see it, why are you talking about others?"

"I didn't comment. I just said that she is much more noble than the second young lady who was originally going to be introduced to me."

"That's right, how can we compare? Her mother is the eldest daughter of a great scholar family, and this Xu is just a concubine's daughter."

Yin Jin'an was the second son of the Duke of Xun's mansion. He said irritably, "If I had known it was a sour poem, I wouldn't have bothered to come. Zhou Lingyin, there are a few new slaves from the North Sea in the Arena. How about going back to take a look?"

"Okay, we'll go there in a minute."

They huddled together and whispered, but no one cared. As the famous annoying people in the capital, they had been abandoned by their families. No one was too lazy to pay attention to them, as long as they didn't make any trouble.

The female guest glanced sideways and said, "Look, this is the best among the bad guys in the capital."

Over there, Gu Chengyan had already come up to the stage, and with great swiftness of brush and ink, he wrote a poem about the peony in one go.

The peony in front of the courtyard is so beautiful and unrestrained.

The lotus on the pond is pure and sentimental.

Only the peony is truly national,

When the flowers bloom, the capital moves.

His handwriting was quite good, with smooth strokes. After it was finished, Hua Zisheng asked someone to hold it up and show it to His Majesty.

His Majesty had an inexplicable expression on his face. He said nothing and just looked at the stage indifferently.

Hanako Katsu was sweating on his head.

"Your Majesty, this is the opening peony poem written by Prince Gu for this Peony Festival." Hua Zisheng knelt down and reported.

The Queen didn’t know why the poem written by Gu Chengyan was exactly the same as the one the two children recited. Was it leaked in advance?

She was unhappy, but she had to support the prince.

"Master Gu's poems are getting better and better, and his calligraphy is also good, as fine as iron and silver. Congratulations on the successful opening of the Peony Flower Festival..."

The Empress was interrupted by Consort De: "That's not right, Your Majesty. Since Prince Gu is going to open the Peony Flower Fair, why has this poem already been popular in the capital? Was it written by Prince Gu?"

As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yes, why was this poem, which should have been highly confidential, leaked in advance?

Some people even have conspiracy theories, wondering if the prince did it on purpose?

It's no wonder that everyone thinks that way. After all, the queen's mother's family is so powerful that Emperor Hui has always been constrained.

Emperor Hui looked at the prince and asked, "Prince, what's going on?"

The prince hurriedly explained, "Father, mother, and Consort De, Prince Gu's poems were stolen for unknown reasons, and the thieves even printed them into a book and sold them to make money."

Gu Chengyan also knelt down and said, "I am innocent. My poetry manuscripts were stolen."

His Majesty said calmly: "Where did you put the manuscript? How could it be stolen?"

Gu Chengyan's mind was buzzing, and he said in fear: "It could be the servants at home colluding with the outsiders."

While Gu Chengyan was kneeling to answer questions from His Majesty, Gu Jiaojiao secretly came back from outside the palace and was led back to the scene by a palace maid.

She finally found Guan Yingying, who spread her hands and said, "How can I write anything else? If there are no new poems, you can just use the old ones. In this kind of activity, writing poems is just for show. Everyone is just socializing here. Who would care about poetry? Besides, you have a great old man in your family, who wouldn't give you some face?"

Gu Jiaojiao felt that what she said made sense. The key point was that Guan Yingying couldn't write new poetry now, so she hurried back.

At this time, His Majesty asked Gu Chengyan again: "Gu Shizi, you can throw away such an important manuscript. You are too careless."

It doesn't matter if other people say this, but if someone in the royal family, especially the emperor, says it, it is a very serious statement.

Madam Hou and Mrs. Tu both knelt down and begged for mercy.

Gu Jiaojiao pointed at Liu Xian and Li Tang and said, "Where did you get the manuscripts? Our manuscripts were in the study, how did they end up in your hands?"

It means they sent people to steal it.

The Duke of Yingguo’s wife was furious when she heard this. She hurriedly led the young master to kneel down and said angrily, “Miss Gu is lying. Do you think you don’t take my Duke of Yingguo’s mansion seriously?”

Madam Liu also knelt down and reported the situation: "Your Majesty, please understand that my son is young and has no ability to steal other people's poems. Besides, the family tradition of the Prime Minister disdains and does not tolerate thieves."

She handed a collection of poems to Hanako Katsu with both hands.

"This is a collection of poems that the servant of the mansion bought at Chunyang Bookstore. The verses that the child is reciting are from the book."

The Duchess of England also asked someone to hand over a collection of poems.
