“What’s wrong?” A deep voice reached them at that moment.
All eyes turned toward the source of the voice, where they saw several young men approaching, the one in the lead wearing a golden yellow python robe, his head adorned with a jade coronet, his features clear and handsome.
“The Third Prince!” Someone immediately recognized him as the highly renowned Third Prince, and their faces changed.
The Third Prince had always shown interest in Ye Shaohua, the most talented woman of the era, a fact that was no secret. The current situation was quite interesting indeed.
The fiancée whom the Third Prince had abandoned was now stepping on the most talented woman of the Imperial City at the birthday banquet of the Imperial Uncle.
It seems that the second daughter from the General’s Residence isn’t as dumb as the rumors claimed. Contrary to expectations, the reputed brute’s daughter turned out to be so talented.
The Third Prince, who always thought Bai Zhenzhen wasn’t a match for him and shamelessly broke off their engagement, I wonder what his thoughts are seeing this?
“People have their joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes…” The Third Prince, astonished, turned his attention to Bai Zhenzhen after a young man recounted the recent events, “Did you write this?”
Looking at her, he suddenly realized that this fiancée whom he had never taken seriously was exceedingly beautiful.
Although she might not compare to Ye Shaohua, the number one beauty, she certainly did not pale in comparison to others.
Seeing the inquiring Third Prince, Bai Zhenzhen felt no inner turmoil. She remembered that her predecessor died precisely because he saved Ye Shaohua on the horse track, disregarding his own fiancée, which led to the former Bai Zhenzhen’s death from a fall off her horse.
If it were the Bai Zhenzhen before transmigration, she would have been excited by the Third Prince’s gaze. However, she wasn’t the same person. She came from the modern era, where people feared imperial power, an era of equality for all. Why would she fear imperial power?
“I wrote it. Are you trying to take revenge for your Lady Ye?” Bai Zhenzhen looked at the Third Prince indifferently.
Although she admitted the Third Prince was good-looking, having seen so many celebrities in the modern world, his appearance did not attract her much.
With that thought, she looked at Ye Shaohua, who was silent and seemingly intimidated by her, and she sneered. People from the ancient times were indeed dull. She still had countless Tang and Song poems to recite.

The most talented woman of the Imperial City, right? I shall make sure you never dare to touch poetry again!
“Lady Ye, don’t worry, I have no interest in the Third Prince. What I want is a lifelong companion, and he cannot provide that,” Bai Zhenzhen said nonchalantly, her arms crossed: “Let’s get back to the point. Do you dare to compete with me in chess?”
She had to avenge her previous self. Bai Zhenzhen’s plan was simple: to crush Ye Shaohua on her proudest ground. She wanted to make the number one talented woman of the Imperial City doubt her life!
Little did they know, Bai Zhenzhen’s words astonished everyone present; nobody expected her to speak of a “lifelong companion.”
Although this fictional era was more tolerant toward women, even having female officials in the dynasty, it was still a rarity, and the concept of a “lifelong companion” was nearly unheard of among the noble descendants.
Even the Third Prince, who initially disliked her, cast an unusual glance at Bai Zhenzhen.
Finally, Ye Shaohua raised her head. She sighed, “It turns out Miss Bai is a hidden gem. At such a young age, to be able to write such extraordinary poetry, I, Ye Shaohua, am far from your equal. It would be an honor to learn chess from you.”
As Ye Shaohua spoke, some in the crowd suddenly looked puzzled, turning their inquiring eyes to Bai Zhenzhen.
In recent years, there had been no war in the Wang Dynasty. Bai Family from the General Residence had led a leisurely life, seldom leaving the Imperial City. So, how… did Bai Zhenzhen come up with such profoundly emotional poetry about her family?
But the crowd merely wondered briefly, not dwelling on it, for such an exceptional work would not likely be falsely claimed by anyone.
“Why did you agree so readily?” The moment Ye Shaohua finished speaking, a tall man appeared behind her. The man was dressed in an ice blue robe, his waist girded with lustrous ancient jade.
Ye Shaohua looked at this man who had suddenly appeared, paused, and then remembered who he was. “Brother?”
Ye Huaijin nodded slowly. He looked down and said softly, “This Bai Zhenzhen presented ‘The Art of War by Sun Tzu’ to the Emperor last night. She wrote the book herself. Chess is like a battlefield, and she must be highly skilled in chess. She’s clearly targeting you. I heard from father that the Minister and his entourage studied the book all night and were full of praises. Pretend to be unwell, and I will take you back to the Prime Minister Residence.”
Yet Bai Zhenzhen seemed to know what Ye Huaijin was saying and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. “Lady Ye, are you still too scared?”
Her words were provocative, but Ye Huaijin wasn’t worried at all. He knew his sister was always rational and could recognize such low-level provocation.
However, in the next moment, a single cold word reached his ears, “Dare.”
Ye Huaijin’s hand faltered momentarily.
Indeed, youth is impetuous. Bai Zhenzhen stared deeply at Ye Shaohua, originally thinking the talented lady of the Imperial City wouldn’t be easy to handle; now it seemed ancient women really were that foolish.
Bai Zhenzhen, as a transmigrant, did not wish to live as aimlessly as those ancient women. Her first step was to crush Ye Shaohua beneath her feet.
Then she planned to write down all the unique poems and useful books she could remember from her brain to prevent forgetting them. Right, she also wanted to build a commercial empire, so even the royal family wouldn’t dare underestimate her.
The current Bai Zhenzhen had traveled through time; she’d watched many transmigration dramas and knew how to get rich in ancient times.
As for the people of this ancient era… could their minds ever match the wisdom of five thousand years of cultural history? The cultural development here didn’t even compare to the Wei, Jin, Northern, and Southern dynasties described in history books. She could propose any historical policy and advance this era significantly.
Bai Zhenzhen, rest assured, I will make all those who looked down on you in the past only able to look up toward me!
I will make that Third Prince regret abandoning you!
Thinking thus, Bai Zhenzhen sat by the chessboard that had already been set up, her eyes on Ye Shaohua across the table, a relaxed smile curving her lips. “Lady Ye, shall we begin?”
Today, she would make an example of Ye Shaohua, letting the people of the Imperial City see Bai Zhenzhen’s grace for themselves.
In the modern world, she was a scholar of chess, heir to a culture passed down for five thousand years, laden with countless exclusive chess manuals. Not to mention that Bai Zhenzhen was a chess player herself, she was sure that in this era, no one’s mind contained more chess manuals than hers.
She was determined to show everyone that this so-called most talented woman of the Imperial City was fit only to look up to her, Bai Zhenzhen, in any field.
