Li Yun, a rural woman from the 21st century, had a car accident. Her soul transmigrated to the body of a woman in ancient times who shared the same name.
Her home was bare, but she wasn't...
The family of the Duke of Huguo and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple were extremely anxious. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple wanted to strangle her daughter to death, and the family of the Duke of Huguo was worried that their daughter would be embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, I admire Princess Jiahui for her contribution to the court. How about letting me write a poem for her and let her give me some advice?" Song Hai resolved the crisis for Prince Song and his sister.
"I would also like to write a poem on behalf of the princess to please her!" said Song Haichao.
"Yes, we want to write a poem on behalf of the princess!" said the three remaining sons of the Duke of Protectorate.
"No, this is cheating and doesn't count!" said Tang Tianjiao.
"Princess Jiahui, what do you think?" the emperor asked Li Yun.
"Thank you for your kindness, gentlemen of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. This princess can write the poem herself." Li Yun thanked the five gentlemen of the Duke of Protectorate.
"In this case, the princess will write a poem to convince everyone!" said the emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Li Yun.
"Many people say that I am a village woman and look down on me. So I wrote a poem about farmers and their hard work," said Li Yun.
"When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, I am hoeing the field, and my sweat drips to the ground. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?" Li Yun read a poem "Song of Pity the Peasants" by Li Kun of the Tang Dynasty.
"What a good poem! It's really a good poem! I didn't expect Princess Jiahui to be so smart. It makes us feel ashamed of ourselves." The ministers praised.
"What a saying, 'Every grain of rice is hard-earned'. No one is allowed to waste the food at today's palace banquet. It is earned by the sweat of the farmers," said the emperor.
"I (the minister's wife) obey your order and will not waste food." said the minister and his family.
"I don't believe it. How could a village woman like her write such a good poem? She must have plagiarized." When Tang Tianjiao heard everyone praising Li Yun, she was dissatisfied and said that she was plagiarizing.
"You keep saying you look down on village women and rural people. If you have the guts, why don't you just not eat?
The food is grown by farmers with great efforts, but they didn't expect to feed it to you, an ungrateful person.
There is no distinction between high and low professions, only between talents. Do you know what this means?
Every profession is equal, but the division of labor is different. The emperor's duty is to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment. The ministers' duty is to assist the emperor and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment. The people's duty is to grow food and let the food feed the court. Their division of labor is different.
"People are divided into different classes, which means there are good people and bad people. People like you who sow discord, are arrogant, domineering, look down on others, and don't know how to be grateful are bad people."
"Also, you accused me of plagiarism, but do you have evidence? If not, can I sue you for defamation? I don't know the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, what is the sentence for defaming a princess?"
“I know everyone looks down on me, saying I’m a country bumpkin who digs for food in the fields all day and doesn’t know how to write poetry.
Today, I, the princess, will convince you wholeheartedly. Even the village women you look down upon are not comparable to you."
"Everyone, listen carefully: Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, flows to the sea and never returns?
Don’t you see, the white hair in the mirror in the hall, which was black in the morning and turned into white in the evening?
When you are happy, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest; don’t let your golden cup face the moon empty.
I was born to be useful, and I will come back even if I lose all my money.
Cook sheep and cattle and have fun, you must drink three hundred cups at the party.
Master Ke, Mr. Danqiu, let’s drink, don’t stop.
I will sing a song for you, please listen to me.
Bells, drums, delicacies and jades are not expensive, but I wish to be drunk forever and never wake up.
Throughout history, all sages and wise men have been lonely, only drinkers have left their names.
In the past, King Chen held a banquet in Pingle, and he drank ten thousand cups of wine and enjoyed himself.
Why does the host say that he has little money? I must buy some wine to drink with you.
"I have a horse with five colors, a fur coat worth thousands of gold. I will call my son to go out and exchange it for good wine, so that we can shed our eternal sorrow together." Li Yun read out Li Bai's "Song of the Wine, Have You Not Seen" (Jiangsuanjiujiu).
"If this poem doesn't count, this princess has many more."
"When beans are cooked on the bean pods, the beans weep in the pot. We share the same roots, so why are we so eager to harm each other?"
"Or maybe you think poetry is too simple, so I'll write a lyric for you. Listen carefully."
"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky.
I don’t know what year it is in the palace in heaven.
I want to ride the wind and go back, but I am afraid that it is too cold up there in the beautiful building.
Dancing with my shadow, it feels like I'm not in the human world.
Turn around the red pavilion, lower the beautiful window, and shine on the sleepless.
There should be no hatred. Why do we always have to face separation? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon has phases of waxing and waning. It is impossible to have everything in life.
May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart."
"How about this poem? Did I plagiarize all of this?
"Miss Meng, why don't you tell me which minister these were copied from?" Li Yun read Cao Zhi's "Seven-Step Poem" and Song Dynasty Su Shi's "Water Melody Song: When Will the Bright Moon Appear?" "Let's see what you say."
"When life is good, enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain. I was born with talents that will be useful, and even if I spend a fortune, I will get it back. Good poem, really good poem! And, may we live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart. It's really a beautiful poem. Every sentence is a thousand-word quatrain."
"That's right. Such a poem, not only can no one in the Great Jin Dynasty write it, I'm afraid no one in the entire continent can write it."
"Exactly. Such talent actually came from a woman. It makes us ashamed!"
"That's right. With such talent, the daughter of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing actually said that the princess plagiarized. This is really outrageous!"
"That's right, she's stupid, and she thinks everyone else is stupid too. She really doesn't know what she's capable of!"
After listening to Li Yun's poems, the ministers discussed the matter among themselves.
"Your Majesty, as a Grand Secretary, I feel ashamed to be compared to the princess. The princess is extremely talented, and her poems are all quatrains of a thousand words. I'm afraid no one in the entire continent can produce such poems.
Yet, the daughter of the Dali Temple's junior minister accused the princess of plagiarizing others, slandering her with every word. Her actions deserved death. "Grand Scholar Jiang came forward to seek justice for Li Yun."
"I second the motion!" said Doctor Zheng.
"I second the proposal!" said Marquis Dingbei.
"I second your motion!" said the Duke of Protectorate. He would not let his precious daughter get away with it.
"We second the motion!" Song Haiwei said with his brothers.
"This matter is indeed terrible. What do you think, Shaoqing of the Dali Temple?" The emperor asked the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple with a dark face.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of my misconduct. I ask Your Majesty to punish me.
I hope the emperor will spare my daughter's life for the sake of my diligent service to the court and Your Majesty!" The Dali Temple Shaoqing pleaded with the emperor in fear.
"I can't make the decision on this. The princess is the person involved. It depends on what Princess Jiahui thinks." The emperor handed over the power to Li Yun, which meant that Li Yun could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, he would be responsible for any problems.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. I feel that the sentence for defaming the princess should be whatever it is.
"However, today is a palace banquet hosted by the Emperor for me. I hope everyone enjoys the banquet happily. Punishment will be discussed after the banquet. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Li Yun said tactfully.
How could she possibly punish Tang Tianjiao now? It would be so boring without her mischief.
Besides, she had prepared such a big surprise. How could it go on without her? How could she be ruined?
