Chapter 193 Throwing the Handkerchief

Chapter 193 Throwing the Handkerchief
Seeing that everyone's words were getting more and more outrageous, they were almost saying that Ye Xuan deliberately joined the Jinyiwei just to get close to Zhu Huan.

Ye Xuan didn't care. He knew that these second-generations would not admit defeat honestly. However, he didn't expect that these guys had such a rich imagination. In their mouths, he became a rapist who traveled around the world and specialized in deceiving the hearts of young girls.

Zhu Huan finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"

Everyone was stunned as they didn't expect that the eldest princess, who looked weak and gentle, would actually lose her temper.

Finally finding an opportunity to interrupt, Zhu Huan pointed at Ye Xuan and said, "If you knew who he was, you would never suspect that his poems were ghostwritten!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan carefully again. No matter how they looked at him, he was just a captain of the Imperial Guard!
Although he is a little handsome, so what?
In the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, being handsome is the least valuable thing.

Seeing this, Zhu Huan showed a hint of pride and a hint of teasing as if he had succeeded in making a prank. He said calmly, "Hmph, let me tell you! He is the rising star of Yingtian Academy, Ye Liangchen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an actor or geisha exclaimed, "He is Ye Liangchen who wrote "Song of Peach Blossom Cottage" and "Huanxisha: The Remaining Snow and the Glittering Cold Painting Screen"?

"Oh my god, my Qiao'er will actually stand in front of Ye Liangchen one day!"

"He is just as suave and handsome as the rumors say!"

Listening to the women's exclamations, Zhu Huan inexplicably felt both proud and a little disgusted. He just wanted these heavily made-up and charming women to stay away from him and Ye Xuan.

However, Li Qi still doubted, "Your Highness has also read Ye Liangchen's poems, and they are indeed quite beautiful, but Your Highness must be careful."

"I heard that Ye Liangchen doesn't like to show up in public, and few people know his background. To say that he is a Jinyiwei is simply a joke! Maybe this guy heard that you admire Ye Liangchen's poems, so he pretended to be you!"

The second generation could not accept that a Jinyiwei, a mere warrior, could be the legendary Ye Liangchen. A random impromptu poem could surpass their more than ten years of hard study. They all spoke out in agreement, revealing Ye Xuan's true identity.

However, Zhu Huan remained unmoved by everyone's admonitions and snorted coldly, "Do you remember that my father once held a poetry gathering in the Imperial Garden not long ago?"

Everyone didn't know why Zhu Huan suddenly brought up something that was completely unrelated to the topic, and they were all a little confused.

At that time, the participants were basically civil officials and their children, but now all those present were descendants of nobles, that is, aristocrats with titles.

They are two gangs that completely dislike each other, so it is normal for there to be some delay in the communication between them.

However, there were still some people who were well-informed. They knew that a man named Ye Liangchen appeared at the garden party, and his song "Song of Peach Blossom Cottage" made the president of the Hanlin Academy feel ashamed.

Now thinking back to what Zhu Huan said, it is hard to believe.

As expected, Zhu Huan did not keep anyone in suspense. "Ye Xuan, also known as Ye Liangchen, also appeared at the garden party and even won first prize. At that time, many ministers in the court had seen Ye Xuan's appearance and identity. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask for yourself!"

Things have come to this point, and with the eldest princess personally confirming it, the second generations have to believe, no matter how unwilling they are, that Ye Xuan is the legendary rising star in the literary world, Ye Liangchen.

Li Qi's face looked even uglier, but as he was considered to be very intelligent, he realized that if he said anything else, it would probably cause Zhu Huan's disgust.

However, Li Qi interrupted and called off the attack, but Ye Xuan had no intention of letting him go.

"Since everyone has confirmed my identity, I guess no one will think that I wrote this poem for you, right?"

The second generation nodded reluctantly. Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Should we fulfill the bet?" "Bet?"

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief. Could it be that Ye Xuan really wanted to drive away these children of nobles?

I originally thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect Ye Xuan to be serious about it.

After all, they are children of noble families, and most of their elders are old subordinates who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world. Each of them not only has extensive connections, but also has considerable power.

Even if Ye Xuan is hailed as a rising star in the literary world, it is just a title and has no practical effect.

But in reality, Ye Xuan was just a fifth-rank Jinyiwei captain, a small official. How could he seize on their gossip and want to drive them away?
Logically speaking, Ye Xuan should not have modestly said words like "lucky, thank you" and then pretended that nothing had happened. Of course, there was no such thing as a bet.

The matter was just lightly covered, and perhaps these young masters would reward him with some benefits in the future.

This is a benefit that many people would never beg for, but Ye Xuan smiled and repeated it again very seriously: "I feel very disgusted when I see you all. Now and in the future, please disappear as soon as you see me!"

"Why, do you want me to say it again?"

"you……"

"Good song Ye Liangchen!"

"Remember this, sooner or later I will..."

"What?" Before the last one could finish his words, Zhu Huan was completely furious. He glared at the man with his slender waist and said, "You threaten Jinyiwei in front of me. Do you really think I'm dead?"

"Or do you think my father doesn't exist?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang was brought out, the man was immediately frightened and pissed himself. He hurriedly admitted his fault and said, "I deserve to die, I am a bastard, I just said something careless, I definitely didn't mean to be disrespectful to Your Highness and Your Majesty!"

"I was so angry just now, please don't tell His Majesty!"

Zhu Huan then showed a little bit of the arrogance and pride that a noble lady should have, and snorted, "Anyway, if any of you want to take revenge on Ye Xuan, you have to get through me first!"

"Now, have you all heard what Ye Qianhu said?"

"Yes, yes, let's go now!"

"Your Highness, calm down. Goodbye!"

"Your Highness..." Before leaving, Li Qi looked back at Zhu Huan unwillingly, but finally left in embarrassment.

It was just the actors and famous prostitutes brought by the second generation who kept looking back and were reluctant to leave. Some even deliberately dropped the handkerchiefs in their hands, hoping to emulate the story of picking up handkerchiefs to find a good match.

As a result, after the others left, there were all kinds of handkerchiefs on the ground, with names and names of pleasure boats and brothels embroidered on them.
