Chapter 337 Talent
Mrs. Lu walked up to Xiao Cao'er, took her hand, looked her over from head to toe and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Xiao Caoer shook her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine. They haven't had time to do anything yet."
When Mrs. Lu heard Xiaocao'er say that everything was fine, she felt relieved. If Xiaocao'er really had an accident, she could bring her head to see Prince Yun.
"What is going on?" asked the wife of the Crown Prince of Duke Liu's mansion.
Before Miss Liu of the Duke's Mansion could say anything, Hu Yingxue spoke first: "It was Miss Yang who was afraid that she would lose the game of pitching pots and wouldn't be able to write a poem, so you cheated. Even though we found out, you still refused to admit it."
The ladies couldn't help but frown when they saw Hu Yingxue being so rude.
"Madam, it's not what Sister Yingxue said." Lu Linger said after bowing to the Madam.
Although both are daughters of powerful and noble families, the difference in their personalities and upbringings is obvious at a glance.
The Crown Prince's wife also snorted in her heart. Everyone knew Hu Yingxue's temper. It was definitely not what she said, but she couldn't just listen to what one person said.
She first asked her daughter: "Wan'er, tell me what happened."
"Yes, mother." Liu Qingwan, the granddaughter of Duke Liu's mansion, bowed to everyone and narrated the whole story without adding any embellishment.
After listening to Qi Qingwan's story, the Crown Prince's wife looked at the group of young ladies and asked, "Does anyone have anything to add to what Wan'er said just now?"
"Madam, that's not true at all. Sister Wan'er is lying." Wang Shuyao was the first to deny it, because she was the one who said a lot of things in the story.
"Oh, then Miss Wang, please tell us what happened." The Crown Prince's wife said with a smile.
Wang Shuyao saw that the Crown Prince's wife asked her to speak, but she didn't dare to say anything because she wanted to turn black into white in front of so many people.
The Crown Prince's wife knew very well what kind of person her own daughter was, and there was no way her daughter would lie about this matter.
She had reminded her daughter long ago that although she didn't have to be respectful to Miss Yang when she met her, she must not offend her.
Others may not know, but she knows. The current queen is a grandmother from the Liu family, and the emperor has a good relationship with Prince Yun. The queen will secretly tell her family about some things and let them pay attention.
The prince told her secretly that the new weapons used in the recent victory were all made by Prince Yun, and Prince Yun was very close to the Yang family, so they could not stand on the opposite side to the Yang family.
Judging from what my daughter said just now, both Miss Hu and Miss Wang are targeting Miss Yang. Isn't this courting death?
Seeing that no one was talking, the Crown Prince's wife looked around and asked Xiao Cao'er by name, "Miss Yang, you should also tell us whether what your sister Wan'er said just now is different from the truth of the matter."
Xiao Cao'er was called, so she stepped forward, bowed to the ladies and said, "Madam, what happened just now is probably not different from what Sister Wan'er said."
The Crown Prince's wife looked at this young lady from the Yang family who had just come to the capital from the countryside. She was much more polite than Hu Yingxue and Wang Shuyao.
"What do you think, ladies?" The Crown Prince's wife looked at the ladies behind her.
"Madam, what my daughter Xue'er said is right. A country girl from the countryside who has never played the game of tossing pots before, how could she have hit all the targets unless she cheated?" said the wife of the Minister of Personnel.
She felt a little jealous when she saw Xiao Cao'er's outfit, so how could her daughter not be jealous?
Her daughter hates girls who are prettier or dress better than her the most. Look at this girl from the Yang family, she is well dressed and looks good, and she has run into her own Xueer's target as soon as she came. Who else can she target but her?
"Oh, then Mrs. Hu, can you ask someone to demonstrate how to cheat?" Mrs. Lu was furious after hearing what Liu Qingwan said.
How dare you slander my little Cao'er? You are really courting death. I will tell Prince Yun everything about me and your surname, Hu.
"That's right, Madam Hu, you have to tell everyone how a group of young ladies could cheat in the game of tossing pots in front of everyone?" said the wife of the eldest son of the Su family, the Duke of Zhenguo.
She is the daughter-in-law of General Su, who also has another title, Duke Zhenguo.
"That's right. Ladies playing pot toss is just a game. If you win, it's the best. If you lose, it's no big deal to write a poem. Every girl has a few poems in her mind."
The one who was speaking was Tang Yanshu's daughter-in-law. She had a gentle appearance and was obviously a lady from a wealthy family.
"That's right. Even my own sister can write one or two poems. Of course, she can't be compared with the so-called talented women." Mrs. Lu held Xiao Cao'er's hand and said
"Sister Lu, I wonder if this young lady from the Yang family could show us her talent in writing poetry." Hu Yingxue, who had been silent just now, spoke at this time.
Several ladies from prominent families spoke up for Yang Xiaocao. Hu Yingxue couldn't help but say that she wanted to see if this country girl could write poetry.
It can be said that the game of tossing a pot is mostly a matter of luck, but writing poetry is different. It cannot be done without a certain level of talent.
