Chapter 531: Chapter 531 Who Deserves the World’s Number One Talent Girl

"I was counting the days, guessing you all would arrive soon."

"Your timing is perfect, tomorrow is the Flower Goddess procession and you absolutely won’t guess who this time’s Flower Goddess is."

Bai Junjun and her companions hadn’t even alighted from their carriage when the Shopkeeper from Dongsheng Tavern ran over excitedly to chat with them.

"Who else could the Flower Goddess be but a young girl from Ying County?"

"No, no, no, this time the Flower Goddess is Princess Consort Hanying, Wenren Pingting."

"The once World’s Number One Talent Girl."

"Go on, what ’once’? Now that the World’s Number One Talent Girl is dead, Princess Consort Hanying naturally takes her place. That’s what the common people say."

Bai Junjun listened with great interest from behind, even Bai Sasa had a face of surprise.

Wenren Pingting, once the daughter of the Prime Minister, now consort to the Second Prince.

Back in the Old Imperial Capital, the two of them didn’t get along very well; after all, being in the same circle, each aiming for first place naturally led to many confrontations.

Eventually, Bai Junjun, young and precocious and also a disciple of Mr. Dan He, had her reputation soar while Wenren Pingting suffered a regrettable defeat.

Of course, that was in the past.

Now that the Bai Yang Clan had fallen, Wenren Pingting had successfully married the Second Prince – perhaps she was the real victor after all.

At least from the present perspective, Wenren Pingting’s life was much better than hers.

Speaking of which, the Second Prince had quickly occupied the Central Plains heartland during the chaos, thanks to Ying County’s strategic location, even gaining control over the Old Imperial Capital.

In the ensuing battle among the princes, the Second Prince purged the Imperial Court, and now most of those he commanded were former officials who remained loyal to him.

Like the once Prime Minister.

And it was precisely because the Second Prince swiftly secured the loyalty of the former officials that the Old Imperial Capital was as secure as a fortress. Even with the Third Prince of the Eastern Land supported by maternal uncles and the eldest prince glaring covetously from the Western Region, the Second Prince couldn’t be touched in the short term.

The clerks here hadn’t expected several unknown companions behind Ah Fu and Ah Gui.

Recalling that Shopkeeper Yan had also reassigned staff here half a month ago, they asked with a lucky guess.

"Are these the new hands assigned for the new shopkeeper?"

Ah Fu and Ah Gui ambiguously replied, "Sort of, don’t ask so much about matters above your station."

"We’re just showing concern. You distinguished guests must be tired from your journey. Rest well for the next couple of days and leave after the Flower God Festival."

The clerks attentively led Bai Junjun and the rest to Dongsheng Tavern’s private compound.

This yard was specially prepared for the shopkeepers traveling from north to south; Shopkeeper Yan also stayed here when he was on business trips.

Bai Junjun hadn’t expected Shopkeeper Yan’s influence to be so widespread; she must also own properties in the Old Imperial Capital.

For a woman to carve out such a domain in these chaotic times, she was truly the most remarkable woman of all.

To be honest, compared to Shopkeeper Yan, the original owner of this body, who only knew how to play with words and ink, couldn’t really live up to the title of the World’s Number One.

However, regarding the topic of the Flower Goddess, everyone stopped after touching upon it briefly, and Bai Junjun could only put it aside for now.

This compound was quite spacious, with plenty of rooms.

Still, everyone arranged their accommodation according to their usual habits.

Sisters Bai lived together, Li Wenli and Bai Lingyu shared a room, and the remaining rooms were occupied by Ah Dao on his own, Smiling Face Old Monk on his own, and Xiao Chan and Rabbit together.

The group allocated the rooms as quickly as possible and were eager to go out.

After all, the hustle and bustle outside was a long-missed dream to them.
