Luo Bingbing was still unaware that she had become a household name as the Prodigy, so she was confused about the situation.
After hearing the servant's report, the others frowned but remained silent, while she immediately asked the servant, "What exactly is going on?"
The servant also didn't know what was happening; he only heard that someone outside wanted to see the Prodigy and that the Prodigy was the Little Princess of Prince Luo's Residence.
Thus, the servant relayed everything he had heard to Luo Bingbing.
After listening, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brows. After waving the servant away, she began to ponder the reasons and key issues behind this matter.
Suddenly, she realized that this must have originated from the tavern. She then fixed her gaze directly on Li Jingshan across from her.
The Poet Sage, who knew he had caused trouble for his master, felt a bit guilty and scared upon seeing the look in the Little One's eyes.
Seeing his evasive expression, Luo Bingbing understood that the problem lay with him.
Therefore, Luo Bingbing looked at him intently and asked, "Explain clearly to me what you did. Why have my casual couplets and poems become known to everyone?"
Only then did the others realize that it was indeed this Poet Sage who had caused such a situation.
Feeling all eyes on him waiting for an answer, the Poet Sage braced himself and said, "I simply sent your two couplets and that poem to all the taverns under Poetic Language Villa and instructed them to display your couplets and poem in the most prominent places."
After hearing this, Luo Bingbing directly asked, "How did those people outside know that those couplets and poems were from me?"
"This must have been spread by those people who were in the tavern that day," Li Jingshan quickly replied.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing felt extremely angry and pointed at Li Jingshan across from her, saying, "You..."
She had just uttered one word when Li Jingshan, realizing he was in trouble, quickly interjected, "Master, don't worry. Since this matter was caused by me, I will handle it well. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing felt her anger subside significantly. She looked at the Poet Sage Li Jingshan and said, "You can solve it? How do you plan to do that? Once words are spoken, they are like water spilled on the ground; can you really gather that water back?"
At this point, she paused slightly before continuing, "Moreover, you are a well-known figure; your words are even harder to retract."
The crowd was momentarily stunned, realizing how practical and astute the Little One's remarks were.
After the initial astonishment, everyone regained their composure. Lo An Lord was the first to speak up, asking, "Bing Bing, do you have any ideas?"
Upon hearing what her so-called Father had said, Luo Bingbing slowly replied, "Right now, I have been pushed to the forefront of this situation and am being watched by the World's People. It will be difficult for me to extricate myself."
After listening to her words, everyone fell into a deep silence, each pondering a way to safely escape.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as a thought struck her.
However, she chose not to voice it because she knew there were still many things she hadn’t arranged properly.
So she addressed the group, saying, "I will return to my study now. Please do not disturb me. I will provide you with a solution before nightfall."
With that, she signaled for her so-called Father to let her go. As soon as Lo An Lord released her, she leaped to the ground and quickly made her way toward her study, ignoring the expressions of those behind her.
The crowd felt elated upon hearing the Little One's voice, thinking she had already come up with a good solution!
But before they could celebrate, they heard her say she was going back to her study and that they shouldn’t follow her.
Seeing the Little One leave, although dissatisfaction lingered in their hearts, no one dared to voice it. They all understood her temperament and knew they couldn’t change what she had decided—not even Lo An Lord.
Though Luo Bingbing had departed, several of them remained seated. As they put it, since the Little One was contemplating a solution, they should also contribute in some way.
Thus, they stayed behind and continued discussing the issues they hadn’t finished addressing earlier.
In the Imperial Study, after the morning court session, Dongfang Hao went directly to review the Imperial Edicts. At this point, he was almost finished with the pile of edicts on his desk.
As he completed the last Imperial Edict, the sunlight outside had become quite brilliant.
The golden sunlight filled every corner of the palace, even reaching the most remote cold palace. The majestic palace appeared even more dazzling under the sunlight.
After stretching slightly in his dragon throne, Dongfang Hao called out loudly for Mo Xuan to come in.
Upon hearing his call, Mo Xuan hurriedly entered, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Dongfang Hao looked at Mo Xuan kneeling before him and said, "Mo Xuan, prepare for us to leave the palace shortly and visit Prince Luo's Residence."
Hearing His Majesty's words, Mo Xuan quickly replied, "Yes, I will prepare a carriage and silver notes right away."
After speaking, he took his leave from His Majesty and slowly exited Dongfang Hao's Imperial Study.
Just a moment after Mo Xuan left, a Dark Guard stationed at Prince Luo's Residence suddenly appeared in the Imperial Study.
Kneeling on one knee at the foot of the desk, he said, "I pay my respects to my lord."
"What is it?" Dongfang Hao asked directly.
The Dark Guard quickly responded, "Reporting to my lord, since this morning until now, many scholars have been arriving outside Prince Luo's Residence. They claim that the Little Princess inside is a prodigy and are eager to enter to pay their respects. Both the front and back gates of Prince Luo's Residence have been blocked by crowds."
Dongfang Hao frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "What is the situation at Prince Luo's Residence now?"
"In response to my lord, Prince Luo's Residence has long since closed both the front and back gates," the Dark Guard quickly answered.
Dongfang Hao nodded slightly and instructed the Dark Guard, "Alright, you go back to Prince Luo's Residence and keep watch."
"Yes, I take my leave," replied the Dark Guard before swiftly leaving the Imperial Study.
After a while, Dongfang Hao's personal bodyguard, Mo Xuan, returned to the Imperial Study to report that everything was ready for departure.
Thus, Dongfang Hao and his personal bodyguard, Mo Xuan, took a carriage towards Prince Luo's Residence.
The carriage slowly approached the main gate of Prince Luo's Residence. From a distance, Dongfang Hao could see that the entrance was crowded with people of all ages.
However, those people seemed to be mostly scholars and students, apparently there to seek knowledge.
Seeing that they could not get through the front gate, Dongfang Hao instructed the guard driving the carriage to head to the back entrance of Prince Luo's Residence. He wanted to see if they could enter from there.
But when they arrived near the back gate of Prince Luo's Residence, they found it was also surrounded by a crowd, just as packed as the front.
Thus, Dongfang Hao had no choice but to have the driver turn back.
As the carriage passed by the outer wall of Prince Luo's Residence, Dongfang Hao called for the driver to stop.
Once the carriage halted, Dongfang Hao looked around and noticed there were no other people nearby. He then used Lightness Skill with Mo Xuan to leap into Prince Luo's Residence.
As soon as they landed, they heard a guard from within the residence shout, "Who dares to intrude upon Prince Luo's Residence?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Hao frowned slightly but remained silent. However, Mo Xuan reacted differently.
He boldly shouted, "How dare you! Have you lost your senses to be so rude? It seems you want your heads to roll!"
With Mo Xuan's imposing presence as a well-armed guard, he immediately intimidated the few guards present, leaving them stunned and speechless.
As Dongfang Hao and Mo Xuan approached them slowly, Mo Xuan revealed his personal badge, which caused the guards to tremble in fear.
Despite their shaking legs, they still remembered to pay their respects to the two men before them, especially to the young man dressed in white.
However, before they could kneel, Dongfang Hao said to them, "Quickly get up, do not expose my identity."
Upon hearing Dongfang Hao's words, the few of them quickly stood up, trembling with fear.
Seeing that they had already stood up, Dongfang Hao asked, "What location is this in Prince Luo's Residence? How far is it from your Little Princess's Piaoyun Pavilion?"
After hearing Dongfang Hao's question, one of the guards, clearly an underling, answered, "Replying to Your Majesty, this is Azure Water Pavilion. If you exit Azure Water Pavilion and pass through the garden of the palace, you will reach the Little Princess's Piaoyun Pavilion."
Dongfang Hao raised an eyebrow at his response and said to him, "Lead the way."
"Yes," the guard quickly replied after hearing Dongfang Hao's command.
Thus, the underling led Dongfang Hao and his personal bodyguard, Mo Xuan, toward Piaoyun Pavilion. The other guards only breathed a sigh of relief once Dongfang Hao and their figures disappeared from sight.
As the guard led Dongfang Hao and Mo Xuan into the courtyard of Azure Water Pavilion, a little girl around ten years old approached them.
Behind the little girl was a maid of similar age, who appeared to be her personal maid.
It goes without saying that the little girl was Fourth Princess Luo Cai Feng. Upon seeing Dongfang Hao, she exclaimed, "This man is so handsome!"
Unable to contain herself at the sight of the handsome man, she moved toward him.
However, upon seeing her infatuated expression, Dongfang Hao felt a wave of disgust wash over him. He frowned slightly and quickened his pace to leave this annoying place.
But Luo Cai Feng was unwilling to let him go. As soon as she saw Dongfang Hao speed up, she quickly stepped in front of him and said, "Young Master, why hurry to leave?"
Seeing her block his path only increased Dongfang Hao's annoyance; however, he remained silent.
Mo Xuan behind him immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Luo Cai Feng, saying, "Bold commoner! How dare you obstruct our path? Step aside at once."
Upon seeing Mo Xuan pointing a sword at her, Luo Cai Feng's peacock nature flared up. She loudly addressed Mo Xuan, "Dog Servant, do you know who I am?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid behind her quickly scolded, "Have you lost your dog eyes? You don't even recognize our Princess."
After hearing her words, the guard kept casting furtive glances at her, while Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan both revealed mocking smiles.
Luo Cai Feng noticed their smiles and turned to Mo Xuan, asking, "Dog Servant, what are you laughing at?"
In response to her question, Mo Xuan replied in a sarcastic tone, "Just a mere Princess, yet so arrogant and rude."
"You..." Luo Cai Feng trembled with anger upon hearing Mo Xuan's words and stuttered.
"Throw her out," Dongfang Hao commanded directly to Mo Xuan.
Upon hearing Dongfang Hao's order, Mo Xuan quickly responded, "Yes, my lord." With that, he strode towards Luo Cai Feng.
