t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter: 130 out of 513 - The germination of a white lotus (1)

Ji Man felt slightly hesitant about this suggestion. She looked at Ning Yuxuan's expression. It was as calm as a lake without ripples as if he was just casually asking her if she had eaten lunch.

Although a person's social status would improve just by entering Tonghua Poetry a.s.sociation and you could also gain a reputation as a talented woman if you wrote a few poems, there was no need for a married woman to go there unless she was especially interested in poems. Why did Marquis Moyu suddenly want her her to go there? Moreover, was this a place that she could enter just because he said so?

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Marquis lightly said, ”I'm familiar with the people in that a.s.sociation. I know that Wen Wan has been receiving attention when she goes there. Do you know why I'm okay with letting her go there to play?”

Ji Man thought; you want to be cheated on?

However, she couldn't say these words out loud. She brightly smiled and said, ”Is it because you're a very magnanimous person, so you're allowing her to do what she wants?”

Ning Yuxuan chuckled. He lifted her chin up and said, ”That's one of the reasons. There's another reason. Tonghao Poetry a.s.sociation picks a head for the a.s.sociation every ten years through a poetry compet.i.tion. The head of the a.s.sociation can restrain the behavior of the members and will also recommend talented people to the emperor for official positions.

After saying all that, as it turned out, the government was behind this organization. Ji Man nodded. ”So? My lord, it can't be that you're the head of the poetry a.s.sociation, right?”

Marquis Moyu nodded. ”Three years ago, I won the minor poetry compet.i.tion and obtained this t.i.tle. Originally, I had gotten it as a way to show off with the crown prince. I didn't expect that it would become useful now.”

Ji Man's chin fell to the ground. This person was so abnormal, and he also knew how to write poems? Wait, he was the head of the poetry a.s.sociation. Did Wen Wan know?

”It's been a long time since I paid attention to Tonghua Poetry a.s.sociation's matters. Qian Yingchen has been managing the a.s.sociation for me. During the past few years, many members had left and new ones had joined. Most of new members probably don't know this information.” Ning Yuxuan yawned. ”Still, it won't be a problem for me to recommend you.”

Ji Man suddenly felt that the person in front of her was truly a mystery. The original novel hadn't mentioned anything about him having several ident.i.ties, ah. One moment he was someone that managed the Six Ministries. The next moment he was the head of Tonghua Poetry a.s.sociation. Would she one day see him as a street food market's tyrant when she walked down Yongning Street?

He definitely wasn't offering to let her enter Tonghua Poetry a.s.sociation because he wanted to help her. It was because he wanted to Wen Wan to act with a little bit more decorum. She had heard that many sons of n.o.bility had become rather interested in Wen Wan and was frequently very friendly with her. Marquis Moyu was probably starting to feel a sense of danger.

Under the light of a female lead's halo, Wen Wan had exceptional predestined affinity with the opposite gender. She didn't reject the friendly advances of other men either and would teasingly let them circle around her. They couldn't let her go, but they would also never obtain her. There were too many envoys that liked to protect delicate flowers like Wen Wan. In order to make her happy, they had redoubled their efforts to slander Nie Sangyu.

Ji Man nodded her head to agree to Ning Yuxuan's suggestion. She might as well do something to alleviate her boredom from being too idle once Errong's wedding preparations were completed. She could probably bluff her way through it by plagiarizing famous poets. Moreover, while she had been fine with leaving Wen Wan alone, this white lotus character was now vilifying her. Don't blame her for giving Wen Wan a taste of her own medicine.

And so, just like that, this matter was easily decided. It was just a brief interlude.
