"Second sister-in-law, my sister has agreed. However, I have a request that I hope Second sister-in-law can agree to."

She is good at reciting poems and composing couplets.

Isn’t it said that if you memorize 300 Tang poems, you will be able to steal even if you can’t write?

She knows this song by heart and can recite it fluently, any song she wants to sing.

Since the Second Princess was so upset that she stretched out her face to hit her, she would not be polite. Not only would she hit her face, but she would also take away her money and make her die of anger.

This is what it means to be the one who teases first.

"Princess Xiangyun, if you have any requests, please tell us."

The Second Princess thought about a country boy and couldn't think of any important request. So, she said it out loud.

Here it comes! The pit she dug has finally been stepped into by the Second Princess. Gao Zhijun thought happily.

"The Second Imperial Sister-in-law comes from a distinguished family of scholars, so I'm sure composing poetry is child's play for her. How about a contest between the Imperial Sister and the Second Imperial Sister-in-law to see who writes the better poem? The loser will not only have to give the other a thousand taels of gold, a farm, and two shops, but will also have to declare in front of everyone, 'I'm a pig, my skills are inferior to others!'"

"I wonder if the Second Princess dares to compete?"

Gao Zhijun initially flattered the Second Princess to make her happy and let her guard down, only then could she lure her into the trap.

As soon as Princess Xiangyun said this, the whole hall fell silent. No one could believe that she would say such a thing and compete with the Second Princess.

How could she be so careless as to make a fool of herself here? After all, everyone knew that Princess Xiangyun came from the common people and it was impossible for her to have read books or know how to read. Comparing herself with her like this was undoubtedly humiliating to the other party.

Especially the punishment, saying that you are a pig and not as skilled as others, is undoubtedly more painful for a woman than killing her.

In ancient times, women valued their reputation the most, and if someone said they were a pig in front of everyone, it would be like killing them.

This is what is called killing someone and destroying their heart.

The Emperor and Empress were shocked, unable to understand why Gao Zhijun had made such a decision. She could have refused on the spot, and they would have helped her and not let her suffer any injustice. Her achievements were more important than being a princess. Unless she was confident she could defeat the Second Princess, she wouldn't have been so foolish as to agree to such an unreasonable request.

The emperor suddenly became interested in his new daughter and felt that she would definitely bring him surprises.

Zhuang Die and Zhang Chan looked at Gao Zhijun with worry, their hearts filled with anxiety. They didn't dare to persuade Gao Zhijun not to compete, fearing that it would bring disaster to her.

Gao Zhijun felt the worry of her relatives around her, and she comforted them with her eyes, telling them not to worry.

Liu Ningchu and Wei Qingyan also looked at her anxiously. If this was not the imperial palace and the emperor and empress were not present, they would have wanted to come over to dissuade her.

Gao Zhijun also felt their worry and used her eyes to comfort them, asking them to trust her.

Murong Yuanbo really wanted to get angry. The Second Princess was really going too far and even wanted to harm his precious daughter.

Although Huo Jinqian was also worried, he chose to believe it.

He felt his girl had many surprises waiting for him.

If she wasn't sure, she wouldn't say that.

So he comforted Hawking and others.

Then he looked through the screen, followed the sound, and looked for the location of his girl.

Perhaps they were in sync, for when Huo Jinqian looked at the women, Gao Zhijun also looked through the screen at the men.

Their eyes met, and even though there was a screen between them, they could still find each other's gaze.

No matter how far apart they are, two people in love can always find each other.

The Second Princess thought to herself: Princess Xiangyun is from the countryside and has never had the opportunity to study. There is no way she can write poetry. Although she doesn't like reading, she comes from an aristocratic family after all. Tao Xun knows a little bit, which is more than enough for her.

Therefore, the Second Princess agreed without thinking. She wanted to hear Princess Xiangyun say that she was a pig, and she felt happy just thinking about it.

She seemed to have forgotten that a country girl who couldn't read, how could she possibly know how to practice medicine? How could she craft a powerful weapon? How could she cultivate high-yield crops? How could she make farm tools? Could it be that these were all simple, easy things to learn?

If one person is stupid, then they are all stupid. They can't even figure out such a simple problem. No wonder ancient people were so backward.

"Okay, I agree! I'll compete with you!"

The Second Princess said confidently.

"I and the other ministers will make the judgment. The Second Princess will come first."

The emperor wanted to help Gao Zhijun. He wanted to let the second princess come first, and after she finished writing the poem, he would say that her poem was nonsense and declare Gao Zhijun the winner.

Gao Zhijun saw that the emperor intended her to win, but she didn't need it. She wanted to defeat the Second Princess on her own merit, to establish her own reputation and thus suppress the young ladies who looked down on her. Otherwise, those young ladies would challenge her today, tomorrow, and she would be extremely busy. She volunteered her time to treat the common people rather than deal with those pretentious young ladies.

The Second Princess could not see what the Emperor was thinking. She only wanted to see Princess Xiangyun make a fool of herself, so how could she miss this opportunity?

She knew her own strengths and weaknesses very well, and only by pushing Princess Xiangyun out to make a fool of herself could she show her cleverness.

"Father, since Princess Xiangyun is so intelligent, why not let her come first? I have long wanted to witness the princess's talents."

The Second Princess said.

After hearing what the Second Princess said, the Emperor couldn't help Gao Zhijun too much. He looked at her with some embarrassment, wanting to see what she would say.

Gao Zhijun was of course willing. She immediately said, "Father, let me do it!"

"OK!"

The emperor said.

"Today I will compete with the Second Princess. I will recite two poems, and you can do whatever you want. If my two poems are not as good as yours, I lose. Otherwise, you lose. Do you think this is feasible?"

Gao Zhijun asked the Second Princess.

"Yes! Princess please!"

Of course, the Second Princess agreed. A country girl, illiterate, dreaming of writing two poems was she simply idiotic and self-deprecating. She probably couldn't even write one, let alone two.

"Father, I'm sorry for the humiliation!"

"As everyone knows, I grew up in the countryside and worked with the land all the time, so I decided to write a poem with the countryside as the theme. If it's not good, I hope you won't laugh at me!"

"When I hoe the field at noon, my sweat drips to the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?"

Gao Zhijun chanted a poem of pity for the peasants.
