HRPM – Chapter 250 Various Ingenious Tricks for the Prize (2)

An uproar instantly broke out all around them. Everyone knew that the Baiyun Inkstone was a peerless legendary inkstone, worth far more than ten thousand pieces of gold. More importantly, only a few of them still existed in the world.

To obtain a Baiyun Inkstone was the dream of every scholar and literary gentleman.

And now even the Third Prince had personally come to support the Prime Minister’s daughter. This competition truly seemed to have gathered royalty and nobility alike—it was bound to be extraordinarily exciting.

“Your nephew is certainly putting in a lot of effort,” Jin Luoluo mocked. “Running all the way here just to support his little lover.”

The thought of it made her furious. He refused to break off the engagement, yet he still flirted around everywhere as if Jin Luoluo didn’t even exist. Tonight, no matter what, she was going to suppress Yang Ruoyao and make the two of them suffer a little humiliation.

“You’re jealous?” Xiao Luo stared at her without blinking.

“Jealous of what?”

“Good. As long as you’re not.” Xiao Luo turned back around in satisfaction.

“The Fourth Prince gifts Princess Muyun a Thousand Pear Blossoms Pavilion!”

Eh? Even Xiao Yu had come? Who was Princess Muyun? He said he liked her, yet now another princess had appeared. Still, maybe that was for the best. Xiao Yu was a good person—if he could transfer his affections elsewhere, she wouldn’t feel so guilty.

“Young Master Bei of the Jialan Kingdom gifts Miss Yaoji the Ten-Li Fragrance Pill!”

Another wave of shocked exclamations erupted around them.

Xiao Luo’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Even people from the Jialan Kingdom had come to participate, and this Young Master Bei had immediately offered something as extraordinary as the Ten-Li Fragrance Pill. Clearly, he was no ordinary person either.

“The Ten-Li Fragrance Pill—is that the legendary perfume medicine that makes a person emit fragrance for an entire month after taking it, with the scent drifting as far as ten li away? I didn’t think such a miraculous thing really existed. Just one sentence from that Young Master Bei has suddenly made the previously unknown Yaoji famous.” Jin Luoluo found herself becoming interested in this Young Master Bei.

Xiao Luo praised him, saying, “If you want to elevate someone who has no fame of their own, you need an unexpected move to draw everyone’s attention. This Young Master Bei is very clever—he used the fame of the Ten-Li Fragrance Pill to make everyone remember Yaoji’s name.”

“This round’s rewards are drawing the most attention because of that jinx and this Young Master Bei.”

Xiao Luo lightly shook his folding fan and laughed softly. “Not necessarily. The heavyweights have all finished making their moves. Now it’s our turn.”

Jin Luoluo brightened immediately, though worry soon followed.

“What reward are you planning to give me? Let me make this clear first—even though we’re on the same side, you can’t take it back after giving it away. Once it leaves your hands, it belongs to me.”
