Chen Jingxi nodded and said, "Although I can't write poetry, since everyone is looking forward to it, I have no choice but to borrow one."

Everyone: “…”

Ask her to write poetry, and she will draw inspiration.

This Princess Su is really shameless.

Madam Xia: !!! They’re clapping their hooves.

"Although it's a reference, you may not have heard of it."

When she said this, everyone laughed even more. This Princess Su was not only shameless but also arrogant. Which of them was not well-versed in poetry and literature? They even had many rare books. How could there be any poem they hadn't read?

"Please read it, Princess Su. We want to hear which poem is truly refreshing."

Chen Jingxi sang softly: "Outside the post station, beside the broken bridge, lonely flowers bloom without an owner. It's already dusk, and I'm alone and sad, and the wind and rain make it worse."

As soon as these four lines came out, everyone present was stunned and began to recall the poems about plum blossoms, but they could not remember who wrote them.

Chen Jingxi then spoke the second half of the poem: "I have no intention of struggling for spring, I let all the flowers be jealous. Falling into mud and turning into dust, only the fragrance remains."

When these four sentences were spoken, everyone's eyes widened.

Chen Jingxi smiled. Lu You's "Bosuanzi Ode to the Plum Blossom", especially the last two lines, are eternal quatrains. You guys just like me, Brother Lu.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, obviously they had never heard of this poem.

Seeing this, Madam Xia said hurriedly, "Princess Su is truly knowledgeable and talented. She managed to stump you with just a poem she made."

At this time, Concubine Huixian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did Princess Su see this poem?"

"Eighth Grade Chinese Language, Second Semester."

“???”

"Could you tell me which master created this?"

"Lu You."

"Princess Su, could you lend me that collection of poetry?"

"I don't."

"No?"

Chen Jingxi nodded and said, "Yes, I sold it as waste paper."

"Sold it? How could you sell it? Do you know how good this poem is? How could you be so ignorant?"

Concubine Huixian was so angry! How could such a good collection of poems fall into the hands of people who don't know how to appreciate it?

Chen Jingxi raised her eyes and met the eyes of Concubine Huixian, which seemed to want to eat her alive. She was startled and came up with an idea, "If the Concubine likes those poems, I will write one for you."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Huixian's eyes flashed with surprise, "You...you remember everything?"

Chen Jingxi nodded gently, "Reciting seventy or eighty poems from memory should be no problem."

After hearing this, Concubine Huixian quickly ordered the servant beside her: "Quick! Bring me some writing brush and ink!"

The servant did not dare to delay and quickly brought out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Chen Jingxi picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, thought for a moment, then lightly placed the tip of the pen on the paper and began to write smoothly.

Everyone present stared with bated breath.

The first poem she wrote was "Climbing the High Mountain", which is praised as the best seven-character regulated verse in ancient and modern times.

As soon as she finished writing, the scene suddenly became lively, with exclamations and discussions mixed together.

Mrs. Xia was very proud. She didn't understand poetry, but looking at everyone's reactions, she knew that her flattery today was on the right track.

Her opposites are Concubine Yao and Ye Nandie.

Concubine Yao frowned. She was not hosting a banquet today to show off to Chen Jingxi.

She gave Ye Nandie a look and said, "Why don't you think of a solution for me?"

Ye Nandie rolled the handkerchief in her hand into a twisted rope, and she kept wondering whether it was okay.

Suddenly, Ye Nandie had an idea. She picked up a cup of tea, squeezed into the crowd, and her hand slipped, and the cup of scalding hot tea instantly spilled onto Chen Jingxi's hand.

Chen Jingxi felt pain and dropped the pen in his hand. At the same time, the paper was soaked by the tea and the handwriting on it became blurred in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Huixian was enraged and slapped Ye Nandie hard on the face, "Take him away and beat him to death!"

Ye Nandie staggered and nearly fell to the ground. She covered her burning cheek, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she knelt down quickly, "Madam Concubine, spare my life!"

Concubine Huixian snorted coldly and remained unmoved by Ye Nandie's plea for mercy.

Seeing this, Ye Nandie hurriedly knelt down before Chen Jingxi and cried, "Princess Su, I really didn't mean it."

Chen Jingxi didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly.

Chunmei, who was standing by, carefully blew away the burn on Chen Jingxi's hand while angrily scolding, "If you didn't do it on purpose, then it was intentional! Why does my princess need you to serve tea and water?"

Ye Nandie was choked by Chunmei's words and was speechless. She quickly turned around and knelt down to beg Concubine Yao: "Your Highness, you know I didn't mean it."

Concubine Yao gritted her teeth and cursed Ye Nandie, the fool, for daring to threaten her. She looked at everyone and found that everyone was staring at her.

She forced a smile and said to Concubine Huixian, "Sister Huixian, please spare her life for my sake. I'm hosting a banquet today. If anything becomes unpleasant because of this, it will be my fault."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Huixian looked at Chen Jingxi and asked, "Princess Su, what do you think?"

Chen Jingxi looked at the burn on her hand. There was a doctor in the garden, and the cool feeling of the ointment gave her some relief.

After applying the medicine, the doctor looked up at Concubine Yao and said, "Princess Su's injury is not serious. Just apply the medicine on time and it will heal soon."

Concubine Yao nodded and asked people to leave.

Everyone was waiting for Chen Jingxi to speak.

Chen Jingxi smiled lightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Since the doctor said it's not serious, this princess is not a narrow-minded person, it's just that the burn just now..." She paused here.

Ye Nandie looked at her in panic, afraid that she would have someone drag her away and beat her to death after she said the next word.
