Yuan Xiangxiang's face turned pale. She obviously didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so disrespectful. Asking her who she was in public? She didn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not remember her.
She endured the humiliation and bowed to the Crown Prince with a smile: "Your Highness, I am Yuan Xiangxiang, your servant."
The prince said, "Oh, you are the one who couldn't even manage his servants. Now he can manage his servants and even hold banquets."
Is this a compliment? But it sounds like a mockery. Cao Suixin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yuan Xiangxiang wanted to show off her presence in front of His Royal Highness, right? Now she had a strong presence. His Royal Highness also saw that Cao Suixin could hardly hold back his laughter, and coughed twice: "Okay, let's talk about the judgement of this play. His Royal Highness can't do it alone, so please choose a few more."
Yuan Qingyao knew that he had no chance. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was firmly on Cao Suixin's side. "Your Highness, why not let Fang Shaohua, Wu Ziye and others join us?"
He mentioned the names of four people, all of whom were the most likely candidates to win the Autumn Examination. Of course there were others, but they were not invited.
The Crown Prince looked at the people and said, "I have heard of these people's names. They are the hot candidates for the championship. You have invited them all. You must have put in a lot of effort."
The people of the Yuan family were sweating coldly when they heard this: "Your Highness, that's not true. We are just classmates."
The Crown Prince hummed, "No one said anything, why are you so nervous? Well, let's just have these four people, along with me. Prince Yuan, I'll trouble you and your brother to record it."
If we record this incident, Yuan Xiangxiang originally planned to come here alone with Yuan Qinqin, at least to make a good impression in front of these gentlemen.
As a result, the Crown Prince had now given his two brothers direct orders, which was simply infuriating. They could only stand here.
However, Yuan Qinqin couldn't help but say: "Since it's the girls' scores that are being recorded, wouldn't it be better to let the girls do it?"
The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment: "Do you want to record it? Will you change your own scores?"
This statement has the same effect as Cao Suixin's, saying that the two girls in the Yuan family would secretly record their own scores higher.
Yuan Xiangxiang glared at Yuan Qinqin: "Your Highness, don't pay attention to my sister, she is just talking nonsense."
His Royal Highness nodded and said, "But I do want to remind you that among the girls, please send two women to record together. We can record separately and then compare the scores."
This is a direct slap in the face. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not trust the eldest son and the third son of the Yuan family. The others dare not say a word. This humiliation is really enough.
Cao Suixin glanced at Tong Ruyan beside him and said, "Let my sister-in-law Ruyan ask for a spot. Who else wants to come?"
Naturally, no one else would stand up. In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince casually pointed to a young woman, and the two of them also took their notebooks and began to score.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the poems submitted and said, "Now let's start. Whose is the first piece of paper? Oh, it's Fuyou Xiangjun. Well, it's just average. I'll give it five points. When you go back, ask your sister to supervise your calligraphy practice."
Cao Suixin frowned immediately: "I have a lot of homework recently."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave five points, and naturally everyone else gave about five points as well. Fang Shaohua gave six points, so Cao Suixin's score was 26 points.
Out of a full score of 50, she only scored 26. Cao Suixin snorted, "You don't have your own judgment, right? How can you follow His Royal Highness to grade? Your Highness, you should let them grade first. You don't have any independent opinions at all."
His Royal Highness nodded and said, "You are right. However, the reason you only got five points, besides your handwriting not being pretty, is because you are lazy. Others wrote a poem, but you only wrote four words. Giving you five points is a bit high."
Cao Suixin pouted and said, "I don't have any idea about the prize. Forget it, 26 is 26. At least it's half more."
The requirements for yourself are really low! His Royal Highness shook his head and smiled indulgently. He didn't say anything else, but picked up the second one.
The second one, Wan Xiangxiang, had the same four words. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was somewhat speechless: "Go ahead and fight."
This one is "Wan Xiangxiang". The other four people really don't recognize it. However, although the handwriting of this word is a bit sloppy, it has that charm, so the prince also gave it 7 points.
Fang Shaohua gave it 9 points, and the remaining two also gave it 8 points. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a look at Wan Xiangxiang and gave it 9 points, so Wan Xiangxiang's total score was 41 points.
Cao Sui's eyes widened in anger: "Why? It's the same four words, how can you get 41 points!"
Wan Xiangxiang smiled and took back her calligraphy: "That's because I wrote cursive calligraphy, which is a type of font! What about yours?"
Cao Suixin glared at the Crown Prince: "You bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Uh! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Cao Suixin speechlessly, and silently picked up the third piece of paper. There was an unfamiliar name on it, Tong Ruyan, and on it was a poem that none of them had ever heard of.
However, this is not about poetry, but about fonts. No extra points will be given for poems written by oneself. Fang Shaohua was still the first to start scoring and gave a score of 9.
Huh? Did Fang Shaohua give such a high score right after he came? The other people were a little speechless, but after the prince saw it, he also gave it 8 points, and the remaining two also gave it 8 points.
Finally, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's turn to give a score, this time he gave her 7 points, out of a total of 40. Yuan Qinqin frowned: "Why did you give her 9 points? Because she is your wife? This is not fair."
Fang Shaohua just smiled and said, "Well? It's not because she is my wife, but because this is my favorite font, so I give her extra points, isn't that okay? If the judges come across a font they like, adding an extra point shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
While speaking, he was still looking at Tong Ruyan. His gentle eyes made everyone present blush! It was a pity that in his eyes, there was only Tong Ruyan.
Tong Ruyan smiled: "When I was writing, I didn't expect my husband to be a judge!"
Fang Shaohua also laughed: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I could be a judge for my wife, but I'm very happy."
Fang Shaoyu coughed twice. These two people were going too far. It was fine if they put dog food in front of him, but now they were forcing so many people to eat it together? It was simply too much. Couldn't they see that the jealousy in Yuan Qinqin's eyes was about to overflow
The prince couldn't bear it any longer: "Okay, next one, Wu Xinrou's."
Now it was Wu Zi's turn and he directly gave 9 points. The others looked at each other. Fang Shaohua gave 8 points, and the remaining two also gave 8 points. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still gave 7 points.
Very good, Wu Xinrou also scored 40 points, now there are two 40s. Cao Suixin touched his head: "I don't know why, I always feel that my score is at the bottom. Your Highness, Your Highness, look, everyone knows to be partial, but you, you came up and gave me a five!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not expect that those fools would follow him in giving low scores. I feel a little sorry for that. It seems that I cannot give such high scores next time.
Next, Yuan Qinqin, the Crown Prince, spoke first: "4 points."
Yuan Qinqin's eyes widened. Her handwriting was definitely better looking than Cao Suixin's. Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is too obvious. You just don't want to embarrass Cao Suixin.
Ah, it really makes me angry. Fortunately, the people behind me still have their own ideas about scoring. Fang Shaohua gave 5 points, and the others all gave 6 points.
Seeing her final score of 27 points, it was not bad, at least one point more than Cao Suixin! This was simply too much. This was clearly aimed at her, and Yuan Qinqin was about to cry out of grievance.
What hit her the most was that Fang Shaohua only gave her 5 points. Could it be that her handwriting was so bad in Fang Shaohua's eyes? The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She had originally wanted to leave a good impression in front of Fang Shaohua today.
The result is now like this. Yuan Qinqin was so angry that she ran away crying. Cao Suixin looked at Yuan Qinqin crying and ran away, with a puzzled look on his face: "She has one more point than me! I didn't cry, why should she cry? She really can't afford to lose."
Everyone looked at Cao Suixin speechlessly. What's wrong with this gentleman? Your handwriting is so bad, are you really not ashamed at all
Only Tong Ruyan and Fang Shaohua looked at each other. Tong Ruyan knew what was going on. Being so embarrassed in front of the man she liked was enough to make her feel very embarrassed.
Of course, other people didn't know the reason, and they just thought that Yuan Qinqin couldn't stand losing! Soon it was Yuan Xiangxiang's turn, and luckily the Crown Prince didn't make trouble this time.
Yuan Xiangxiang directly scored 40 points. Most of the people who came after her scored less than 40 points, and most of them were around 35. Soon it was the last one.
The last one was pretty good. It was a long piece of writing, and it was a masterpiece. The prince was silent for a moment: "Miss Lu, you don't think that if you write more words, you can get a higher score, right?"
Just now when they were grading, Miss Lu was still writing hard! Hearing what the Crown Prince said, Lu Yang looked over and said, "No, I just thought that since I've already written it, I might as well finish it. Have you finished reading it? Give it back to me if you've read it."
This is another hidden boss. He actually dared to speak to the Crown Prince like this. The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Yang. Oh, it's this guy.
"It's really rare that you would come to the banquet at Marquis Yuan's mansion."
Lu Yang blinked his eyes, looking innocent: "Since you showed up, it's normal for me to show up. I heard that Fuyou was coming today, so I came to join in the fun. It's not a wasted trip. 26 points, Fuyou County Lady."
