"Since you, your highness, are so kind, my daughter will naturally comply."

Imperial Protector Princess's words forced Mo Xiyan to stand up.

"However, I'm in a hurry. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

Hearing this, the princess lightly nodded her head. "But, Miss Mo doesn't have to be nervous. You can think it over by the side."

After saying that, she looked at the crowd and chuckled. "I'll listen to some songs and dances and quietly wait."

"Alright." Everyone responded in unison, and they seemed to be in high spirits.

Mo Xiyan bowed to the princess before indifferently retreating to the side.

She frowned and pretended to be deep in thought, but her thoughts were not on the poem.

She was considering whether she should choose the best one and smack the face of everyone present.

He was the one who acted mediocre, so everyone mocked him a little.

Without much thought, she decided to do it herself. The original owner had never been famous before anyways, so no matter how bad she was, it wouldn't be too strange.

On the other hand, if one was too outstanding, it was possible for them to be regarded as a beast race.

"Why hasn't Miss Mo done it yet?" Don't tell me the title of talent is fake? "

"I've never heard of her famous talents. I think it's very likely that someone bribed the person in front of the princess to speak good words to her and wanted to show her face. In the end, it was all for naught."

"I think so too. It has always been said that Miss Mo Er is talented, but if she really is talented, how come she never revealed anything?"

While Mo Xiyan was thinking about this, the people in the audience started whispering to each other.

Whether it was the male or female guests, neither of them thought well of her. They all felt that the princess had overestimated her, and all of them held the thought of watching a good show as they looked at her.

Mo Xiyan didn't make them wait long either.

After about half a cup of tea, at the end of a song and dance, she walked to the stage in the middle of the yard and unhurriedly recited a poem she had made.

"The origin and end of fate cannot be understood. The mysteriousness of destiny cannot be seen through. Being disturbed in the mortal world caused her 3000 strands of black hair to be troubled. "I wish for the world to be blessed with love and happiness."

Her poems weren't exactly neat, no, strictly speaking, they were bad.

However, her voice was extremely sweet, and her intonation made people feel very comfortable. Coupled with her expression when she was reciting, it added quite a few points to this not-so-good poem.

"Did Miss Mo go easy on him?" Imperial Protector Princess raised her brows as she looked at Mo Xiyan. Although she already had a premonition that she wouldn't be able to make good poems, she really didn't expect something so bad to happen.

Was it really as she said, that she had never read a book? But would Prime Minister's Wife really be so biased? She was in disbelief.

"I really did not go easy on him. It is also true that I had never been able to teach him since I was young."

Mo Xiyan hurriedly shook her head, then looked towards the princess in embarrassment, "Speaking of which, my sister Jing Yuan is indeed a talented girl. Since she was young, she was praised by the gentlemen for her intelligence, and if she wasn't born a girl, she could have become a great scholar of her generation."

Her words were good words for herself, and she even carried Mo Jingyuan away, thus successfully turning the attention of the crowd towards her.

Mo Jingyuan had been laughing at Mo Xiyan, but she didn't hear what she was saying. She was just silently criticizing in her heart.

Just as she was feeling pleased with herself, she realized that everyone's eyes were already on her. She panicked and quickly retracted her emotions. Only then did she hear Mo Xiyan's words clearly.

That damnable bitch. It's fine that he was unlucky, but he actually dragged her into the water? Her face changed instantly and she was extremely anxious.

"That's true. The poems written by Miss Mo Er in the past years have indeed amazed me."

Imperial Protector Princess nodded, but she didn't want to change the topic.

Thus, the conversation changed to the battle between the two of them.

"Speaking of Miss Mo Er, I heard that you and her had an agreement to participate in the Battle Tea of this poetry gathering. Is that true?"

Her gaze fell all the way onto Mo Xiyan. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue her conversation.

"Yes, we did meet."

This was the truth, and there was nothing to hide. Therefore, Mo Xiyan was honest with him.

"Since it is a fight, then what is your wager? Can you tell us? " Imperial Protector Princess dug holes for her step by step, forcing her to jump down.

If Mo Xiyan were to say that they were fighting just for the sake of the crown prince, then her and Mo Jingyuan's maiden name would be ruined. Perhaps, their marriage would have an impact in the future.

Mo Jingyuan was naturally aware of the formidable relationship between the two. Compared to Mo Xiyan, she valued her own reputation more.

After all, she was someone who had decided to marry into the imperial family. If she were to lose her reputation here, her future would be ruined.

Therefore, she quickly stood up before Mo Xiyan and answered, "Reporting to the princess, this wager is just a toy between little girls, it's not worth mentioning on the stage."

Unfortunately, the princess didn't intend to let them off, she continued to laugh and said, "Today, the people present are all young people, so we don't have to bother with trifling matters. Your little girl's stuff just came out for everyone to listen to, and it just so happens to adjust the current atmosphere."

At this point, her tone suddenly became heavy. "In fact, you look down on us and feel that we are not worthy for you to tell us, huh?"

With this hat, even if they did not want to say anything, they could only say it.

This pig Mo Jingyuan, how dare she call herself smart? If you can't speak, you don't have to. Look at the situation now? Not only had he offended the princess, but he had also made everyone pay more attention to their so-called 'tea duel'.

He was simply a pig's teammate. Mo Xiyan was so angry that she rolled her eyes, wishing she could just squash that bastard to death.

However, he was still saved, and it was even worse than what Mo Jingyuan had said before. Otherwise, it would be a lie.

"Reporting to the princess, the prize is a piece of jade."

Mo Xiyan shyly chuckled once again. In order to increase the effect, two red clouds appeared on her face.

"Jade pendant?" Imperial Protector Princess continued to ask in surprise, "What kind of jade is it?"

"That is a peacock pendant made from white jade. The quality of the jade is not very good, but I do like it very much." Mo Xiyan walked up to Mo Jingyuan as she said this, staring at her with a burning gaze, "Little sister, take out the jade pendant and let the princess have a look. After all, there's nothing unpleasant about it."

This Peacock Jade Pendant did exist, it wasn't made up by Mo Xiyan.

However, this jade pendant belonged to the original owner. It was snatched away by Mo Jingyuan when it was still young.

If it was an ordinary jade pendant, perhaps the original owner would not have cared too much about it. However, this jade pendant was precious because it was Prime Minister's Wife's relic and also the only thing that Madam left behind for the original owner.

This meant a lot to the original owner.

However, the original owner had repeatedly asked Mo Jingyuan for it, but the original owner had always refused.

Mo Xiyan had told him about the jade pendant at this time in order to win it back.

After all, she might not be able to win against Mo Jingyuan in Shi Shi, but a fight over tea? Not her.
