章節 1201: Competing In Front of the Hall

The Nine Provinces' banquets revolved around songs and dances, reciting poems, and other elegant stuff.

Even if the Great Xia's princess hadn't jumped out to ask Sun Mo to compose a poem, other people would bring it up too. There was no helping it. Sun Mo's reputation was too great.

Therefore, cheers rose in the Taiji Palace and countless gazes landed on Sun Mo.

Many of them didn't have any ill intent and just wanted to broaden their horizons. This was like how when people saw a singer when attending someone's wedding, they'd want to get her to sing a song.
