Su Qianxun glanced at Lai Nuannuan through the large mirror in the makeup room with a look that was seemingly amused yet full of disdain.
To be honest, Lai Nuannuan and Su Qing looked quite similar when they were younger.
Putting it nicely, they both belonged to the type with delicate features; putting it bluntly, they just looked too plain.
This type of woman often appealed to men with strong protective instincts, appearing pitiful and liked to cling to men like vine flowers.
But of course, she was different!
Her looks were of the kind that spelled trouble, and moreover, she had an arrogant and dominant type of beauty, backed by royal favor.
However, with the emperor’s favor, why worry about being aggressive and dominant?
As for Lai Nuannuan’s type, what had Yanzhi once said?
She looked as if someone owed her thousands of silver, with a bland expression that was simply bad luck!
As for her, she definitely looked like a devastatingly beautiful temptress capable of toppling cities and kingdoms, especially effective at beguiling emperors!
Thinking this, Qianxun couldn’t help but smirk.
Seeing Qianxun actually laugh out loud after being indirectly scolded by Yuan Yuan, Lai Nuannuan narrowed her eyes slightly.
Somehow, seeing Su Qianxun stirred a sense of hostility in her heart.
Maybe it was because the girl in front of her was just too striking?
With this thought, Lai Nuannuan gently said, "Su Qianxun, Yuan Yuan didn’t mean it, don’t take her words to heart."
Hearing this, the smile on Qianxun’s lips disappeared.
Even the makeup artist next to her couldn’t help but glance at Lai Nuannuan through the mirror.
This young lady is intentionally provoking, isn’t she?
Mentioning what should not be mentioned!
If Su Qianxun had taken Yuan Yuan’s words seriously, she would have been angry right after Yuan Yuan spoke.
But at that moment, Qianxun looked at Lai Nuannuan with a light smile and said, "Was she talking about me just now? I didn’t even realize. Also, who are you? You don’t seem to have an ID badge, are you perhaps Yuan Yuan’s assistant? Makeup artist, are assistants allowed in here too? If so, can my tutor come in as well?"
As soon as Qianxun finished her remark, Yuan Yuan immediately stood up from her chair, "Who are you calling an assistant? Nuannuan is the young lady of the Lai Family, it’s not your place to criticize! Also, I was indeed talking about you! Do you think just because you became popular online that you’re above us all? Today, I will let you know there’s always someone better, and what a true scholarly champion looks like!"
All eyes then turned to Qianxun.
At that moment, Qianxun casually stretched out her hand and began clapping softly, "Then I’ll watch with keen interest, waiting for you to crush me on stage! Use your vast knowledge to prove my ignorance."
After that, Qianxun gave the makeup artist a faint smile, "Continue, please."
As for giving Lai Nuannuan any more attention, she couldn’t be bothered.
Upon hearing this, the makeup artist nodded and began to apply makeup to Qianxun even more seriously.
The makeup artist thought to herself: She really knows how to keep her composure!
Being provoked like that and she still remains as calm as the cool breeze.
Having both poise and calm, in her eyes, it was still anyone’s game at today’s Poetry Conference!
She quite liked this young lady; all she could do now was to make Su Qianxun look as beautiful as possible, at least to ensure she didn’t lose face when she went on stage!
By 8:50, all the participants were ready.
Although Qianxun had short hair, the makeup artist had given her a very sweet makeup look, adding a touch of charm to her appearance.
This time, thirty contestants were going on stage, all top students from across the country.
