The capital city had been bustling with noise and excitement lately. Flowers bloomed during the warm spring season, and some of the young masters and young ladies' poems had been spread out to be praised and praised for their discipline.

Among them, Jia He and the princess were the only ones who attended these poetry meet. It had always been a royal banquet.

Moreover, as the most favored princess of the empress dowager, she had only ever interacted with the noble ladies of the upper third rank families. She had never attended any of those miscellaneous poetry gatherings and had always felt that her status was honorable, so she didn't have to fight for such a useless title like others.

He had a domineering temperament and his eyes were high at the top. This made it so that Jia He and Princess Zu had no good friends around them. They only had a few followers.

However, the current Jia He Princess was different. Her days in the pavilion were boring. Ever since her business had been messed up, she had nothing to do every day.

Occasionally, she would go to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. She also had to constantly pay attention to whether or not she had been exposed. Such days were truly meaningless to her.

In order not to live a slow life every day in the Princess' Mansion, he could only find some things to pass the time.

She was looking for a book, but she didn't look at it for long before throwing it down. Even if these stories were written in vernacular, it would still be very strenuous, not to mention that these stories were as moving as those of the future generations. The story of the old scholar's daughter was uninteresting.

Having received the invitation from the poetry meet, Jia He felt bored, so he decided to take a look.

This attracted her attention.

It turned out that those poetry meet weren't all boring stuff. Just the poems of these young masters and young misses weren't entirely filled with the love and envy of those in the prime of youth.

Seeing the crowd gather the attention and boasting of others, Jia He and Princess Hua-Yang could not help but be eager to give it a try.

After so many years of compulsory education, a few poems were deeply engraved in her mind. There was no lack of spring day amongst them.

On that day, the poem would spread the name of Jia He Princess throughout the capital. With a song, 'Spring Day', even some scholars would praise it, especially with the line 'Easily known as the East Wind Face, Ten Thousand Violet Red is Spring'. It was an extremely high evaluation.

There was one poem and two poems. Afterwards, there were a few poetry meetings in succession. Jia and Princess were both present and had unsurprisingly won first place.

There were many good poems in the capital all of a sudden, and these poems were written by Jia and Princess.

Jia He was very satisfied with this situation. She liked everyone's eyes to be focused on her and enjoyed the feeling of standing in the middle of the stage and having all the spotlights fall on her.

This was something that she had not been able to give in her previous twenty years of dull life.

She was currently staying in the empress dowager's palace. The person on the bed had a frosty expression on his face, and his appearance was meticulously maintained. He looked no more than fifty years old. He looked just like an old man from an ordinary family.

It was just that she was not. Those who could survive in this magnificent palace were all intelligent people.

And now, this seemingly refined old lady was benevolently asking Jia He and Princess Hua-Yang in a soft voice.

"Jia He, where's the Qian Tang Lake in your poem?" Jia He was embarrassed for a moment. When she recited the poem, she had not thought of so much and only wanted to show off.

This "Qiantang Lake Spring Walk" was her latest poem.

At first, he only thought of this poem when he saw the lake, but he didn't expect that a loophole would be discovered now.

The eyes of Princess Jia He flickered. The others should already have the same question.

She didn't want the empress dowager to see what was going on. Jia He and the princess were proud and arrogant because they had to be pampered by the empress dowager. If they were found out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Just as Jia He was thinking of how to get past them, the empress dowager gave her a puzzled look, waiting for her reply.

"My granddaughter saw it in a book. It was the story of a scholar and his daughter who had a private meeting at Qian Tang Lake. One of them was the one between the Lonely Mountain Temple and Jia Gongting." She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and buried her face in the crook of Her Majesty's arm.

"You, ah, you are worried about me." When the empress dowager saw this, she did not doubt it. A girl's book was naturally not too good to read. The stories of those young scholars and mistresses seemed insignificant, but they defied etiquette. She only thought that Jia and Princess was unnatural because she had mentioned the matter of reading the book.

But at the same time, he also felt gratified that this child, had never hidden anything from her. Since she was young, she didn't want to see those juniors showing off their thoughts in front of her.

Princess Jia He heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally managed to persuade him.

Before she could finish exhaling, the Empress Dowager's voice rang in her ears again.

"The things that Jia He is looking at now, there's someone he likes." The empress dowager's eyes were full of ridicule. "This Dowager still wants to find a husband for Jia He among those good-for-nothings."

The two princesses' faces reddened in embarrassment at these words, especially the last sentence.

This reminded her of the handsome face of Prince Jin.

The empress dowager was very experienced. When she saw Princess Jia and Princess Changping blushing, she immediately knew there was hope.
