CHAPTER 322 (1): THINGS TAKE A NEW TURN

Tan Ge had seen the Lan Script before . I’ve tried to practice it in the past, but it was so difficult that I gave up . However, Su Xi-er is able to imitate it so well that I can’t tell the difference from the original .

I totally admit my thorough defeat . What kind of man wouldn’t like someone like this; a woman with both beauty and brains? It’s no surprise that Prince Hao likes her . How can I compete with Su Xi-er?

The so-called ‘Tan Residence’s hope’? What a ridiculous joke . Tan Ge’s gaze was revealed her admiration for Su Xi-er as she gave a self-deprecating chuckle . “I have lost . I feel the same kind of regret as Grand Tutor Kong; your talents have been buried for so long . ”

Yet, right at this moment, a eunuch from the Imperial Library entered . “Grand Tutor Kong, Commandery Prince Xie has arrived, and is waiting for you in the main hall . ”

Grand Tutor Kong replied with an affirmative before turning to look at Su Xi-er and Tan Ge . “The two of you, follow me to the main hall . ”

Su Xi-er and Tan Ge immediately followed . Tan Ge knew that she might need to return to the Tan Residence once again . At that time, dad will definitely despise me further, and even allow my younger sister to seize my room again .

Xie Yun was waiting in the main hall, standing ramrod straight until he saw Grand Tutor Kong and gently greeted, “You have worked hard, Grand Tutor Kong . ”

Grand Tutor Kong bowed in response . “This humble official pays his respects to Commandery Prince Xie . It’s just that the Imperial Library can only pick one court lady . Su Xi-er has won the match, so the Young Miss Tan can only…” At this moment, Grand Tutor Kong stopped and looked up at Commandery Prince Xie .

Xie Yun looked at Su Xi-er . “I didn’t know that a maidservant from the Palace Side Quarters could be so talented . To think that the eldest official daughter of the Tan Residence, a family of scholars, would lose against you . ”

Su Xi-er bowed to pay her respects and slowly replied, “It was merely luck that this servant won . The Young Miss Tan is very talented, and this servant is impressed by her . ”

“Oh?” Xie Yun’s tone became higher as he took a few steps forward, giving Su Xi-er a once over . “You just said that Young Miss Tan is talented, but she lost to you . Doesn’t that mean that you’re even more talented than her?”

“This servant hopes that you won’t continue to split hairs and harp on something meaningless like this, Commandery Prince Xie . ”

Grand Tutor Kong and Tan Ge were both stunned . Commandery Prince Xie has significant military influence, and has stretched his hand into court politics in recent times . His authority is similar to Prince Hao’s, but Su Xi-er dares to tell him to not split hairs!

Xie Yun laughed, his voice clear and gentle . “A woman with beauty and talent like you has made a large impression on this Prince . ” Then, he turned around and looked at the Grand Tutor . “This Prince doesn’t have a problem with you picking Su Xi-er, but Young Miss Tan can’t leave the palace . ”

Grand Tutor Kong didn’t understand his intentions . The Imperial Library only needs one court lady . I have selected Su Xi-er, so I can’t keep Tan Ge . What does Commandery Prince Xie mean?

“Only one palace maid is needed to organise the books in the Imperial Library, but this Prince found a lot of leaves on the paths leading here . Have Young Miss Tan stay as a palace maid to sweep the place; she can even help Su Xi-er in her free time . ”

After Commandery Prince Xie had gone as far as to say so much, Grand Tutor Kong couldn’t deny him . “This humble official obeys the order . ”

Tan Ge couldn’t help but lament her fate after hearing that . I can’t be a court lady, but I still have to stay as a palace maid to clean the place . I didn’t think that I would still end up staying in the imperial palace after all this .

Xie Yun’s gaze landed on Tan Ge . “There are some words that your father has asked this Prince to pass on to you . ” After that, he cast a meaningful look at Su Xi-er and walked out of the main hall .
