Chapter 88.7
At this point, the other three xiaojies sensed a problem. Actually, which one of these noble xiaojies was truly innocent? If she was naïve, it was good that her parents protected her at home. But once she married and met such vicious women like Yu Lanxuan, even one or two of the women would be enough to make the xiaojie die without a full skeleton. She wouldn’t even know how she died.
Yu Lanxuan’s actions made them have a different opinion of her character. When they met her later, they wouldn’t treat her as a friend.
Liu Ruixue even warned Zi You to not associate with Yu Lanxuan. Yu Lanxuan was not a simple character.
This episode made Yu Lanxuan unable to complete Fourth Gongzhu’s task. She thickened her face and asked questions for a long time. What was everyone talented in? What was everyone untalented in? No one told her anything.
Only Zi You straightforwardly told her, “Other than medical skills, I don’t know anything else.”
Yu Lanxuan immediately pretended she needed the bathroom and told this information to Fourth Gongzhu with difficulty.
So after the banquet, the gongzis and xiaojies who were gathered in groups heard Fourth Gongzhu’s older brother Fourth Wangzi Shangguan Botao loudly proposed, “Gongzis and xiaojies, for this gathering, what if we compose poems and paintings? The gongzis will compose poems. The xiaojies will compose paintings from these poems according to the poem’s meaning. If the xiaojie succeeds, then the gongzi will do one thing for her. If the xiaojie’s painting is not similar to the peom’s meaning, then she will do one thing for the xiaojie. How is Benwangzi’s [literally: this wangzi (prince), how wangzis refer to themselves] suggestion?”
Then he said to Liu Ruixue, “Little saozi [sister-in-law, because she is Taizi’s future consort], you are the host. Can you please prepare the brush, ink, and paper?”
It should be explained that Great Yan was quite open-minded. Although males and females could not attend school together like the Tang Dynasty, the high society gongzis and xioajies used social gatherings to form good feelings.
