Chapter 21: Prime Minister Residence’s number one talented lady (2)

“Minister Ye, what do you think?” Ye Huaijin stood beside a group of men when a robust voice reached his ears.

Ye Huaijin became Number One Scholar at 19, winning the highest honors in the imperial exams, and began his career in court as a junior minister. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

The speaker was the second son of the General Residence, who was currently serving in the Military Camp as a commander responsible for a thousand soldiers, Bai Zhenzhen’s legitimate older brother, hence addressed as Commander Bai.

“Lady Bai just composed an exceptional poem, I too am looking forward to her subsequent performance,” Ye Huaijin replied unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Commander Bai scoffed coldly and turned his gaze toward the pavilion.

As Bai Zhenzhen’s older brother and a martial man, he felt an urge to kill the Third Prince when he learned that the prince had publicly called off his engagement with his sister, turning her into a laughingstock of the Imperial City—even after she saved Ye Shaohua at the racecourse. However, he overstepped not the bounds of his station.

Merely shooting a profound look at the Third Prince, others were oblivious, but he, as Bai Zhenzhen’s brother, knew that three days prior, Bai Zhenzhen had laid out a chess puzzle that even Elder Tan Jizi could not solve, drawing him to the Imperial City just to see her.

Many in the Imperial City might be unaware, but he, having one foot in Jianghu, knew that Tan Jizi was a famed diviner who had been invited by monarchs of three different countries to become their national advisor, yet none had actually met him in person.

But now, Tan Jizi had emerged from seclusion for a mere chess puzzle. Talk about the foremost talented woman in the Imperial City—if word of this got out, it would make everyone’s eyes pop!

Especially the Third Prince. The very person who turned his sister into the butt of the city’s jokes would soon come to regret it, when he realized what kind of person he had lost.

The Third Prince himself felt quite puzzled. Bai Zhenzhen, who was formerly unable to take her eyes off him, now did not even spare him a glance, particularly since she had washed off her heavy makeup and was wearing a simple dress of goose yellow, standing out among the many female guests.

At this thought, the Third Prince felt an odd sensation within, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to Bai Zhenzhen.

Unbeknownst to everyone here, several figures lingered in a tower not far away, with the foremost figure in imperial yellow being none other than the Emperor of the Wang Dynasty.

“Elder Tan Jizi, what’s your take on this chess match?” The Emperor of the Wang Dynasty, having once invited Tan Jizi, held him in the highest regard, especially now that he had come out for Bai Zhenzhen, attesting even greater significance to the Bai Family in his heart.

Elder Tan Jizi’s sole passion in life was chess, which was why he broke his own vow of seclusion upon seeing Bai Zhenzhen’s chess setup.

At this point, upon the Emperor’s inquiry, he stared intently at the scene below, “This old man simply wishes to see what kind of extraordinary formation Lady Bai can arrange next.”

His tone surprisingly carried not a hint of doubt about Bai Zhenzhen.

This remark caused the close ministers following the Emperor to ponder, sensing something exceptional about the Bai Family’s second lady.

Wasn’t it rumored that Lady Bai had no understanding of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting?

The Emperor, glancing at the Third Prince’s location, said with profound eyes, “The youngest has misjudged.”

To this comment, no one dared to respond.
