Chapter 1513: Her Highness the Princess (63)

She had been personally appointed by the Emperor, and her prestige was currently at its peak. Tang Xi, an ordinary princess, absolutely could not afford to offend her so easily.

“Your Highness, Lin Yuexiang has truly changed greatly,” Yun Buxiu remarked with some emotion.

If Lü Yuzhi and Lü Yufan had become who they were today because of him, then Lin Yuexiang had been personally nurtured by Her Highness herself.

Her Highness truly was an extraordinary woman.

Who in this world could transform a village woman into an important court official?

Probably no one.

System: The host is just raising cattle. Can't you see she's bored out of her mind now? Everyone else is doing things for her.

Above her are the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince who dote on her. Below are Lin Yuexiang and her two children, along with countless fanatics.

If the host wanted to accomplish something big, a simple wave of her hand would probably bring countless followers.

“That's Lin Yuexiang's own ability,” Tang Guo said. Originally, she had merely wanted to try. She hadn't really done much except provide Lin Yuexiang with opportunities and the proper conditions.

If it had been anyone else, even with those opportunities and conditions, they might not have achieved what Lin Yuexiang had.

How many people in this world had better backgrounds, better circumstances, and roads already paved for them?

Yet they still couldn't compare to Lin Yuexiang.

That was why she said it was Lin Yuexiang's own capability.

Lin Yuexiang's smile was gentle, yet within that gentleness lay an unquestionable authority.

Not only did she attract the admiration of many men, but countless women envied her as well.

Her Highness the Grand Princess was regarded as the ideal for women under heaven, but she seemed far too distant.

After all, she was born noble. Whatever she accomplished, ordinary people could never compare.

Lin Yuexiang was different.

It was said that she came from humble origins.

Such a woman inspired no jealousy, only admiration.

Tang Xi did not greet Lin Yuexiang.

She had no desire to speak with her.

The brilliance surrounding Lin Yuexiang was simply too dazzling.

Even dressed so simply, her beauty surpassed Tang Xi's. Despite Tang Xi's luxurious attire, she couldn't outshine the other woman, and that made her furious.

Lü Qing arrived late.

At a glance, he noticed the woman dressed in plain robes surrounded by people.

The moment he saw Lin Yuexiang, he froze.

Her appearance was nothing like he had imagined.

He had assumed that a woman so talented and accomplished would surely not be very beautiful, perhaps even plain.

Never had he expected Lin Yuexiang to be so attractive.

Limping over, he happened to hear her discussing poetry.

After listening, he developed a favorable impression of her.

Without hesitation, he composed a poem on the spot, intending to make her acquaintance.

He had originally believed that his literary talent would surely earn the admiration of a fellow lover of poetry like Lin Yuexiang.

But after listening, Lin Yuexiang merely nodded faintly and smiled politely at him.

And that was all.

Nothing more.

Lü Qing was unwilling to give up.

After all, he was considered one of the most renowned scholars in the imperial capital.

Why was Lin Yuexiang so indifferent?

Could it be that his poem had failed to move her?

Then again, Lin Yuexiang wasn't an ordinary woman.

It seemed he would have to put in more effort.

Lü Qing proceeded to compose several more poems, but Lin Yuexiang remained unmoved.

His expression darkened.

Had it not been for her status, he would have wanted to question her on the spot.

Later, other scholars recited poems as well.

Occasionally, one or two would receive words of praise from Lin Yuexiang, making him so angry he wanted to hit someone.

He felt that all women named Lin Yuexiang seemed destined to oppose him.
