Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 74: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (28)
"My Yue Ran is awesome!" Ming Ze said it aloud amidst the crowd's applause. "Not only is my Yue Ran very beautiful, but my Yue Ran is also very talented!"
"Sister Ran is really great at this," Yue Yu said gently.
Yue Ran smiled at both men before glancing indifferently at the noble young lady, who had left with the excuse of feeling uncomfortable amidst the chatter of noble young masters and noble young ladies. The noble young lady's tone as she said that excuse was curt, and her face was just like an unfriendly stormy sky: dark and thundering angrily.
"Unexpectedly, Young Lady Yue has such a quick and clever mind!"
"Yes, she has acted so ignorantly over the years... Was she just pretending all this time?"
"Is this the so-called pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger*?"
(*Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger: pretending to be stupid to avoid injuring oneself when, in fact, one is smart enough to beat the enemy.)
"She is a wolf in a sheep's skin!"
"I really underestimated her."
"You are not the only one."
Other than this, there were quite a lot of noble young ladies who hated that Yue Ran had gotten all the attention in this poem exchange meeting.
"It's all Young Lady Chen's fault!"
Young Lady Chen was the noble young lady who had challenged Yue Ran and just excused herself angrily a moment ago.
"That's right, to think that Young Lady Chen actually allowed Young Lady Yue to gain such a big spotlight!"
"You are right; just look at all those noble young masters whose eyes can't wait to stick on Yong Lady Yue's body!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"So hateful!"
None of these noble young ladies were reconciled with such a result!
They cannot let Yue Ran be in the limelight like this! She had just become the undisputed champion, the uncrowned king, of this poem exchange meeting if there were no more competitors that could go against her.
Yue Ran is already attractive enough to grab everyone's attention, especially from those noble young masters, but now she is also very talented in making poems. So what are they here for? What did they come here for if all those noble young masters' attention was all on Yue Ran instead of being distributed around them?
Originally, the oldest princess' banquet was held to help the younger generation get acquainted with one another and get engaged and married. Now that all the brilliance has been focused on one Yue Ran, which noble young master would still be able to see the noble young lady next to them?
This is overkill!
But how can they dampen Yue Ran's prestige following her victory? That is the current problem.
A rather high-ranking noble young lady with a quite well-known status in the capital scanned her surroundings. And when she saw Xue Lu on the side, who looked out of tune with the rest of the noble children, looking so pure and spotless, the noble young lady's mind was instantly moved.
She directly interrupted everyone's discussion in a loud voice, "Young Lady Xue is famous for her wisdom in the capital, so why don't you compare yourself with Young Lady Yue of the Prime Minister's Mansion so that we can all bask in the wisdom of Young Lady Xue, who is the head of the noble young ladies in the capital?"
She looked at both Xue Lu and Yue Ran with darkness in her eyes. Can they sit still after being provoked by her? Both their dignity and reputation were at stake because of her words.
She secretly laughed in her heart at her quick thinking. Fortunately, she was smart enough to think of this and allow both Yue Ran and Xue Lu to fight themselves while she would just sit back down and watch the show.
Watching a dog fight another dog is her favorite pastime.
This noble young lady's words can be said to be extremely excessive, forcing Xue Lu Ying to the point where she had to come out and compete with Yue Ran.
At this time, Xue Lu's face, which was usually expressionless and indifferent to everything in her surroundings, was slightly cracked.
Xue Lu's current expression only reminded Yue Ran of cracked ice—imperfect and unsightly. The pure, unstained white was no more. There was a spot of black ink on pure white paper.
Yue Ran really wanted to see the day that Xue Lu's expression would look desperate or depraved. Honestly, an extreme expression of anything other than indifference would be a sight to see!
She couldn't wait for that exciting day to come!
Xue Lu and Yue Ran stared at the noble young lady who had spoken. How dare she both challenge and threaten the two of them so boldly in public? Does she want to tear her face off with them?
Not only was Yue Ran's identity as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion higher than that of this noble young lady's father in the current emperor's heart, but even Xue Lu's identity as the daughter of the Grand Tutor of the Emperor also cannot afford to offend.
Just how foolishly has this noble young lady acted just because of the irrepressible jealousy in her heart?
Ming Ze was about to retort back angrily to the noble young lady to defend Yue Ran, but Yue Ran stopped the man with a hand gripping his wrist.
This move made Ming Ze stunned and frozen, followed by exploding fireworks in his head.
Does Yue Ran like him, even just a little bit?
Her light touch gave him hope. A flower bloomed from a bud and then into a blooming spring.
Even just a bit of Yue Ran's liking was enough to reinvigorate Ming Ze's love for her.
Ignoring the dazed and dreamy Ming Ze next to her, Yue Ran sneered sarcastically at the noble young lady who had just challenged her.
"Hm?" Yue Ran raised a brow. "I thought who was it that had barked so loudly and so annoyingly," Yue Ran said. She has always been fearless when acting and speaking her thoughts aloud.
