The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

Chapter 246 Mission Completed

As Prince Chen slowly finished reading the last sentence, all the audience members fell into a dreamlike silence, as if they had really entered the scene in the poem, found spiritual comfort there, and felt the joy and peace of reunion after a long separation.

After a long while, there were bursts of warm and loud applause, breaking the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream and return to reality.

Prince Murong Xue of Ming walked lightly to the stage. Smiling, she said to Prince Chen, who had just stepped off the stage, "Fourth Brother, you're truly impressive! Since you've already recited such a beautiful poem for us, would you allow me to recite another one? Let me, too, leave some fragrance in my mouth."

Faced with such a request, even though he felt a little reluctant, out of courtesy and family rules, Prince Chen still respectfully handed the manuscript to the other party and quietly walked back to his seat and sat down.

However, during the whole process, he kept looking at Jiang Jinhe beside him with a concerned look, which made the bystander Song Mu feel quite uncomfortable.

Jiang Jinhe gently patted the arm of the person next to him and comforted him, "Don't worry so much. What we need most right now is to stay calm. Believe me, he is definitely just thinking about how to use us now."

After hearing this, the man didn't say anything, but his brows were still furrowed, and he humphed to express his dissatisfaction.

Then he added: "Well, you are right, let us wait for the results together!"

Although the tone was tough, one could still sense the implicit compromise.

While the two were whispering, King Ming had already begun reading the famous poem "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" written by Li Bai for Jiang Yuannian.

"...I raise my glass to the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three."

When such poetic language spread throughout the audience, almost everyone let out a slight but admiring sigh. After all, Li Bai's works can always make people feel relaxed and happy.

"...My song lingers as the moon and my voice dance together, echoing in the still night sky; my dancing shadow is scattered, its movement like a candlelight swaying in the wind, appearing and disappearing. We make love together in sober moments, sharing laughter and joy in these sober moments. We part ways when drunk, but once the fog of alcohol dissipates, we each leave."

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a deep breath, as if this poem expressed the infinite emotion in their hearts.

When the last sentence was read, the mood of the people present became high again. They laughed one after another, nodded in recognition of the good memories, and greeted everyone around them with a smile.

Although there was no direct verbal communication, everyone had already formed a tacit understanding - soon they would gather again in this place full of memories.

Suddenly, several people in the crowd asked questions loudly and eagerly.

"Your Majesty, Prince Chen, may I ask if this and the other exquisite poem we heard earlier were both written by the same person?"

"Your Highness, Prince Chen, these two pieces are truly magnificent, almost comparable to the classic 'Song of Water Melody.' I wonder if this poet is the mysterious female poet who built the Moonlit Tower?"

"Oh! By the way, could His Royal Highness Prince Chen introduce us to this talented woman? We are all very curious."

Faced with these sudden and enthusiastic questions, Jiang Jinhe immediately felt a sense of danger and was afraid that he would get involved in unnecessary trouble.

So she decisively pulled Song Wenqin away from the bustling place.

For her, making money quietly is the serious matter, and she has no interest in being the center of attention.

Watching the two figures disappear into the night, even as a prince, he was helpless and had to immediately order his loyal followers to chase after them, "Chase them!"

Then he shouted in a commanding voice, "Boss Song, who runs Yunjin Pavilion, please stay for a moment. I have something I want to discuss with you!"

Song Wenqin stopped walking, but he obviously had no intention of having a friendly conversation.

He was seen taking a stance, ready to strike back quickly if the opponent got close enough.

"calm down!"

Jiang Jinhe quickly stepped forward to hold him back, and at the same time softly said to him, "Listen to what he wants to say first."

At the same time, Chen Zhong, who was sent out, ran down the stairs to catch up. He was so focused on chasing that he completely ignored the safety of his feet and almost slipped because of stepping on his clothes.

Fortunately, it was this small obstacle that saved him from an accident.

This scene made Jiang Jinhe, who was watching everything happening, laugh involuntarily, but out of politeness she waited for him to regain his footing before continuing the conversation.

"Brother Chen, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something urgent that needs to be dealt with?"

"That's true," Chen Zhong answered while gasping for breath. Just when he was about to explain the specific situation further, he found that the person standing in front of him was looking at him with a cold gaze like a sword. That look made him feel cold in his heart.

Suddenly, he forgot what he was going to say, as if his mind was blank and all his thoughts were taken away.

"I...I'm here to escort Brother Song home and ensure your safety so I can report to His Highness in formation."

Brother Chen seemed a little nervous when he spoke, and his tone was not very fluent, but one could still hear his seriousness and sense of responsibility in his words.

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe looked at Song Wenqin and understood everything.

She knew that this excuse was just a superficial reason, and there might be more considerations and intentions hidden behind it.

"No need to trouble you. With him by my side, I don't have to worry about anything. Brother Chen, you should go back and report as soon as possible!"

Jiang Jinhe firmly declined his kindness. Her tone was calm and firm, which made Brother Chen feel that he could no longer hold on.

At this moment, Song Wenqin's expression was as cold as ice in winter. There was no extra emotion on his face, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

The two quietly held hands, walked down the stairs side by side, and quickly reached the first floor through a specially reserved passage.

This place is relatively secluded and few people notice them, so they were able to leave smoothly.

At this time, shops and stalls were closing one after another, and the number of people on the streets was gradually decreasing.

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant female voice was heard, which immediately attracted their attention.

"It's time to close the stall! The last eyebrow pencil is only eight taels of silver. It was just selling for twelve taels!"

The voice is lively and a little playful.

"It's the sound of rain."

Jiang Jinhe gently shook Song Wenqin's arm and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

Her voice was gentle and tinged with anticipation.

This girl really has a way. In fact, the cost of this eyebrow pencil is only about five taels.
