A Qeer Competition!

Hearing Donghai Lin's reply, the little Princess was all smiles and said bewitching everyone seeing that face of hers, "Hmm, so sweet of you. Can I know, Young Master's name?"

Donghai narrowed his eyes as this was not their first time meeting and the little princess knew about him but she questioned his name as if it was their first encounter. "I'm just a nobody from Xue Prefecture and Your Highness could call me Lin Donghai."

"Lin Donghai of Xue Prefecture, I like your answer, and I'll remember it and you better remember that too." Princess Hua Jin responded, "Alright, please be seated, now is the best time to begin the Poetry competition. And let me have a special announcement, the champion of this banquet who could present the best poem, as a reward I'll spend the entire evening with him or her. And to make this a fair competition I call upon two great scholars as the judges." Then she waved to her maid.
