With so many people staring at her, Yang Ruoqing could no longer pretend to be nonchalant.

He had to take off his veil and reveal his face.

At this moment, those who were unaware could not help but widen their eyes.

It was really Yang Ruoqing, what a surprise.

Isn't Yang Ruoqing busy with the World Business Alliance recently? Why did she come to attend the Camellia Party?

Speaking of which, the dignitaries in the capital each have their own circles. Yang Ruoqing hangs out in the business circles more often. She basically does not participate in the gatherings of those powerful, honorable, and literati. However, this time she came out to let everyone

Be surprised.

"Would you like to sing a song, madam?" Lu Yuanding said with a smile.

In fact, Lu Yuanding is not that familiar with Yang Ruoqing. After all, he is a Hanlin editor. In addition to reading and painting, he does not have many interpersonal relationships and has no contact with business. He only heard about it from others and what he experienced a few years ago.

After that huge turmoil in the capital to seize the rightful son.

But he had read Dream of Red Mansions, so he knew that this woman was not a simple person, but was really talented.

"Forget it, I'm a country girl from the countryside. I don't understand poetry, poetry, and poetry." Yang Ruoqing shook her head and said, "And it's time for a dinner party now. I suggest that we go to the dinner party first to avoid the food getting cold."

This is where some elegant people gather.

Yang Ruoqing thinks that she has been a country girl all her life, so why should she get involved in these things.

Besides, she had been looking at the paintings for so long, but she didn't see anything special. She just thought they were very exquisite. As for the artistic conception, she had no idea at all, so she didn't have to write poems.

"Madam, don't you have any inspiration?" Mr. Lu of Luyuan looked at Yang Ruoqing and asked.

"Yes, poetry cannot be written in a short time. It requires inspiration." Yang Ruoqing blinked, but the expression on her face was very sincere anyway.

"Okay, madam, let's go have a dinner first." Luyuan Gong Lu felt a little regretful.

But turning around and thinking about it carefully, Yang Ruoqing has talent, but some things require accumulation over time and cannot be achieved in one go.

During this period of time, Yang Ruoqing was busy doing business. On the surface, Ning Yuan, the Duke of Xin State, was causing trouble. There were so many things going on, and it was normal for her to neglect to write poems.

The other literati gave Yang Ruoqing a friendly smile.

They feel that just like them, everyone has difficulties when writing, so they can understand each other.

However, a sharp voice sounded.

"Mrs. Yang is playing it safe. She knows that she doesn't understand poetry and can't write it, so she doesn't have to produce bad works to prevent herself from losing face in front of everyone and damaging her talented image."

At this time, many people think it is normal, because when they cannot write poems that are very real, there is a not-so-pleasant sound.

Even Shen Biyu frowned. Her emotional intelligence was not low. Even if she had doubts in her heart, she would never say it outright.

Everyone turned their attention to the speaker.

The one who spoke was none other than Li Taiping, a Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy named Li.

He is also the talented man who praised Shen Biyu just now and is her loyal supporter.

Li Taiping was indeed unhappy. As soon as Yang Ruoqing appeared, he attracted everyone's attention, especially since Shen Biyu was no longer the focus of everyone's attention before. He was Shen Biyu's supporter, so he naturally felt that

He was filled with righteous indignation, so he just said something casually. Who knew that the others suddenly became quiet and stopped talking, which made his voice stand out.

But at this time, he had no way out and could only bite the bullet and look at Yang Ruoqing.

"Mrs. Yang, I don't have any ulterior motives. I just think that your decision is correct and you should retreat when faced with difficulties. This way you know that your attitude is indeed good."

What he meant by these words was that he hoped to round out the wrong words he just said so that they would not be so harsh.

However, that didn't seem to be the case. On the contrary, everyone listened, and the more they listened, the more they felt that something was wrong.

What does this mean? Is it satirizing Yang Ruoqing? It's really outrageous.

"Master, are you serious?"

Yang Ruoqing's original smile gradually began to look a little strange, and finally, her smile turned cold.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly.

I can say that I am a country girl, but you can't say that about me.

It’s been a long time since anyone dared to do something like slap someone in the face.

Originally, Yang Ruoqing was not the kind of person who couldn't take a joke, but in front of so many people, such a straightforward slap in the face would make anyone feel very uncomfortable.

"Taiping, stop talking."

Someone around me started to smooth things over, and someone said: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yang, it was Li Jinshi who made the mistake. I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Wang Daogui, it's not my fault, it's just that what I said is not quite right... Mrs. Yang, if you think what I said is wrong, then I apologize to you." Li Taiping apologized to Yang Ruoqing, but no matter how he heard it, he couldn't understand it.

It feels insincere.

It seemed that this apology was what Yang Ruoqing begged him to do.

How could such a gesture make Yang Ruoqing feel calm?

After all, it’s hard to calm down.

"Li Jinshi, what's your attitude? What's your etiquette as a scholar?" However, Lu Yuan's wife, Mrs. Lu, looked directly at Li Taiping coldly and said.

She was very unhappy. This was a party she convened so that dignitaries could have a chance to communicate by viewing the camellias.

Who knew that this Li Taiping really had no discernment, and it would be very merciless to say such things to his face.

In this case, why should she save face for Li Taiping?

"I……"

As soon as Li Taiping started to say a word, he was interrupted.

"Li Jinshi, there is no need to apologize. Yes, I can't write poetry, and my level is indeed not high. But, you said that I am worried that the poems I write will be laughed at? Worried that my reputation will be damaged?"

"Well, today, I'm just going to write something down. If you don't have self-awareness, you don't have self-awareness. I'll see how I can make others laugh."

The expressions of everyone present changed slightly, and Yang Ruoqing, who interrupted Li Taiping's words, had an even darker expression.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and many people were too frightened to speak.

"Mrs. Yang, actually you don't need to be as knowledgeable as Li Jinshi. He's not very smart... Why don't we go over and have a dinner? Look at the food and wine, Mrs. Lu has already ordered people to prepare them... After a while, I'll let you

Li Jinshi apologizes to you..."

A tall old man walked near Yang Ruoqing and apologized to her.
