When he heard the rating, Yang Zhe was dumbfounded.

He glanced at Du Yinyun, who was sitting in her seat, looking incredulous.

However, Du Yinyun’s expression was indifferent, as if it was a matter of course for her to give an ‘excellent’ rating.

When Yang Zhe saw how calm Du Huakui was, he became more and more suspicious of his own literary skills.

Could it be that this bullshit poem by He Yunxiao was really a masterpiece?

However, Yang Zhe was still unwilling to give up, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Wuyou next to Du again.

Jiang Wuyou had been a famous woman in Yinjing for a long time, and her achievement of dancing for the Empress Dowager in the palace alone was unparalleled by any other girl.

Jiang Wuyou’s literary skills were not as good as Du Yinyun’s, who had been trained from childhood. However, based on the education provided to the girls at the Spring Breeze Mansion, she was already better than most of them.

In terms of poetry alone, she was at the level of a scholar, not to say a scholar, but at least a scholar.

Jiang Wuyou was not as indifferent as Du Yinyun, and when she felt Yang Zhe’s gaze, she nodded and smiled at him in response.

When Yang Zhe saw that Jiang Wuyou also looked normal, his suspicions about himself increased.

How could they all look so calm? Could it be that I am really blind to good poetry?

At this moment, He Yunxiao’s voice came at the right time.

“I would like to thank Commander Yang for his help, and I would like to see the Commander off. It’s dark and slippery, so return home early.”

Hearing these words, Yang Zhe clenched his fist. It didn’t matter when he went home. It was just that the bet had failed. Did he really have to give up on Yinyun?

Not long ago, he made a bet with He Yunxiao, whoever lost would leave Du Yinyun, there was a whole audience at the Spring Breeze Mansion to testify to this, once he backed out, he would lose face. A person who is not trustworthy will suffer from a lack of trust and will not be able to do anything.

Yang Zhe was also the commander of the Imperial Army, a close friend of the Princess, and the hope of the Yang clan in Hexi.

Yang Zhe took one last look at Du Yinyun and then stood up.

He was not afraid of failure, but he felt lost because Du Yinyun did not even bother to glance at him.

Yinyun, are you disappointed in me? Just a short while ago, you were looking at me and calling me Yang’s brother.

After Yang Zhe stood up, he tried to hide his loss and pretended to be spontaneous. But instead, he only managed to hold back a twisted smile that looked very comical.

The first generation scholar could never be at this low level, and Yang Zhe quickly took advantage of the situation and retreated by saying.

“He Yunxiao, today I will accept defeat in a bet and never see my sister Yinyun again. However, you should not be too delighted. If you dare to use your power to force Yinyun’s sister, I, Yang Zhe, will not rest until you die!”

These ambitious and heartfelt words really touched many of the audience at Spring Breeze Mansion.

Only, however, He Yunxiao only wanted to laugh out loud.

“Commander Yang, don’t be moved by yourself. She knows what she should and shouldn’t do, it’s not your place to defend her by defining what ‘power compels’. If she likes it, she will like you even if you’ re a beggar, if she doesn’t like it, she won’t like you even if you’ re a prince.”

He Yunxiao’s words really hit Du Yinyun in the heart. She was such a person, not pursuing the so-called wealth and nobility, as long as “you like” and “I like”.

Even though she was biting her lip and couldn’t stop herself from agreeing, the girl still remembered her mission.

For the sake of the greater cause, she needed to keep her distance from He Yunxiao and not reveal his identity as a fake playboy.

“How does young master knows, what yunyun is like”

This rather distant remark made Yang Zhe’s spirit shake, and he knew that even if he lost the bet, He Yunxiao, who won the bet, would not have any chance of getting his hands on Du Yinyun.

As long as He Yunxiao could not get his hands on Du Yinyun, Yang Zhe was confident that he still had a chance.

He was confident that he had a unique advantage over He Yunxiao, or any other young talent in Yinjing, in every way.

A talent that is in high demand in front of both the Princess and Prime Minister Han, the gold value is evident.

There is still time, and as long as the favors of Yinyun’s sister are there, everything can be polished slowly.

The feelings are not scared of delay, but there is one thing that is already dragging on for a while.

Yang Zhe knows in his heart that he is out of the game, but he also knows that not all of the forces of the First Princess have lost this time.

At least there is still Li Jin.

More or less a teammate.

Yang Zhe began to say goodbye to all of them, but he secretly sent a message to his “teammate” Li Jin.

“Li Jin, Du Yinyun is the daughter of Du Lie, if this woman can be taken under the Princess, it will definitely help us get the support of the old Chu family army. You must do your best to win this competition. After you win, confer with me before making a decision, I will wait for you at the noodle shop opposite the Spring Breeze Mansion.”

After transmitting the message, Yang Zhe had nothing to hold back and got up and left with big steps.

In fact, Yang Zhe did not have much hope for Li Jin, but there was always an eventuality in everything. What if Li Jin won?

Of course, there was a deeper reason for the voice transmission, which was to exchange messages with Li Jin.

Yang Zhe is obsessed with the Princess’ body, so naturally he cannot go in and out of such a shady place and break his good boy’s image. But there are always unexpected situations, like this one, if he doesn’t go for Du Yinyun, then he will lose the good opportunity with Chu family.

Li Jin is a man of no talent, but his loyalty to his cousin can be described as “a man of the heart and soul”.

When the Princess asks questions, with Li Jin as his witness, no one will be able to find fault with him.

Yang Zhe thought about it all the way to the noodle shop, taking his horse from the stables.

The status of the Princess could not be shaken, and as for Du Yinyun, although there was an agreement with He Yunxiao in the past, if he thought of his personal friendship and just met her, Yinyun’s sister would not refuse, and as long as he could meet her, he would be able to proceed with his plans.

Tethering his horse to the wooden pillar of the noodle shop, Yang Zhe found a seat and sat down, “Boss, a bowl of Yangchun noodles.”

Before the boss could reply, an extremely familiar voice came out of Yang Zhe’s ears.

“Boss, I’ll have the same.”

Boss: “Okay, two bowls of Yangchun noodles.”

Yang Zhe never thought that even if Li Jin didn’t win, it shouldn’t be a problem to last two rounds, but now, with just one horse-holding effort, this kid had lost?

Li Jin sat down and rubbed his hands together, “Yang Zhe, are the Yangchun noodles here good?”

Yang Zhe said with hatred, “You’re still in the mood to eat noodles?”

Li Jin said, “Of course not.”

Then Li Jin held the steaming noodles in front of Yang Zhe and gobbled them up.

Soon, looking at the clear bowl, Li Jin said, “Yang Zhe, if you don’t eat it, I will eat it for you.”

Yang Zhe really wanted to kill the bastard with a slash, but he had no choice but to say, “Get lost. I want to eat the noodles myself.”

Yang Zhe was about to move his chopsticks when he seemed to remember something and asked, “Li Jin, what kind of handkerchief did Du Hua Kui give you?”

Li Jin looked bewildered and took out his handkerchief and saw that it was embroidered with orchids.

Yang Zhe said, “Li Gongzi, would you lend this handkerchief to Yang for a few days to look at?”

Li Jin did not care, but he was very happy to hear Yang Zhe call him “Li Gongzi”.

After handing the handkerchief to Yang Zhe and seeing him put it away with great care, Li Jin was puzzled.

What’s so great about this? Does it smell as good as Yangchun noodles?
