Chapter 72 I’m going crazy. What’s wrong with my mother?
Listening to Shen Qingyi's words, many plots emerged in Shen Wan's mind.
[This was mentioned in the plot. Madam Su doted on Su Haitang excessively, raising her to be unlearned and incompetent. She had no knowledge of poetry, songs, or calligraphy, let alone the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, or painting.]
[Mrs. Su, however, thinks her daughter is perfect in every way. Even if Su Haitang makes a mess, she still praises her.]
[Over time, Su Haitang began to truly believe that she had incredible talent and was a rare and gifted woman.]
[That's why, at the Winter Banquet, he overestimated his own abilities and proposed a duel with Rong Huo'er. He didn't expect that this would completely expose his own lack of knowledge and bring shame to the Grand Marshal's Mansion.]
From then on, the words "idiot" and "fool" stuck to Su Haitang like a maggot on her tarsal bone, becoming her labels, and everyone used them to ridicule her.
After the heroine traveled through time, she couldn't accept Su Haitang's previous personality, so she decided to slap the faces of those who had mocked the original owner at the Winter Banquet.
[She wants everyone in Yun Country to open their eyes and see what a talented woman is.]
[At the Winter Banquet, she dressed up meticulously, first blinding everyone at the banquet with her stunning beauty, and then...]
Everyone at the banquet was stunned. Only then did they realize that the Su family's uneducated and incompetent daughter actually had such stunning looks.
【Of course, this is just the beginning.】
After the number one talent, Rong Huo'er, submitted two impromptu poems as per convention, the heroine also picked up her pen and submitted her own poem.
It snowed on the eve of the Winter Banquet, so to suit the occasion, Rong Huoer's first poem was titled "Winter Banquet: Snowy Mountains and Rivers." The poem goes, "Snow dances on the mountains and rivers, a painting unfolds; ink and color paint a picture of a lofty sentiment; standing proud in the wind and snow, poetry springs to mind; the rhyme of the snow across thousands of miles calls forth the spring breeze."
The second piece is titled "Winter Banquet: Fallen Plum Blossoms." The fallen petals, unable to comprehend the meaning of longing, drift and drift to the winter mud. A single silvery flower cherishes itself, cleverly dancing a tune in the cold wind.
The overall level of literature in the Dawu Kingdom was not very high, a world apart from the Tang and Song dynasties. Therefore, Rong Huoer's level was fully worthy of the title of the most talented woman.
[But I happened to meet the time-traveling heroine...]
It started, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but get excited.
Under her deliberate guidance, she finally touched upon some of the younger sister's memories and thoughts, which paid off her good intentions.
Thinking that what was coming next might be important content, Shen Qingyi immediately perked up and became serious, with her ears perked up.
The heroine bypassed the legendary poets Li Bai and Du Meng, and instead pulled out the masterpieces of the beggar-born Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the late Tang Dynasty uprising leader Huang Chao.
[The branches are weighed down by the snow, yet they are not touched by the mud; when the sun rises, they are still as high as the sky.]
How majestic is this poem "Ode to Bamboo"?
Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He expelled the Tartars and restored the orthodox Chinese culture. How could ordinary people imagine his courage and determination?
[The talented people in Beijing were immediately shocked by the broad-mindedness displayed by the phrase "still equal to the sky."]
[Before they could come to their senses, the heroine continued to use her second killer move.]
[Wait till autumn arrives on September 8th, my flower will bloom and all other flowers will die; the fragrance will permeate Chang'an, and the whole city will be covered in golden armor.]
[Because Haojing's nickname is Chang'an or Daxing, the heroine didn't even change the place name and just moved it here.]
Huang Chao was emperor for four years. During his uprising, he killed countless people, completely wiping out the aristocratic families that had dominated China for thousands of years. From then on, children from humble backgrounds finally had a chance to rise to prominence.
His poem, "Chrysanthemums After Failing the Imperial Examination," exudes domineering power and murderous aura. Its artistic conception and spirit are truly astounding. While it may not be appropriate for a winter banquet, there's no rule that poetry must be appropriate.
【And now, this has become the heroine's poem. 】
[The heroine, relying on the masterpieces of the two emperors, completely crushed Rong Huo'er into the mud. From the first straw bag daughter of the emperor, she became the new first talented woman. She was enthusiastically pursued by the talented men in the capital and won a beautiful comeback.]
[After this winter banquet, it became famous all over the world.]
[The male protagonist, Lu Jinghuai, Sun Ziqian and others were completely captivated by the female protagonist's talent and beauty.]
【……】
Chen Wan seemed to have been turned on by some switch, and was completely immersed in the plot, not noticing the shocked expression on Shen Qingyi's face.
"Once the sun rises, it still reaches the same height as the sky; the fragrance of incense fills Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor..."
Even she had to admit that the spirit and intention of these two poems were much stronger than Huo'er's poems.
Huo'er is a woman, and her poems always use beautiful and graceful words. However, compared with her aspirations and lofty ambitions, her beauty and grace are completely destroyed.
No wonder the title of the most talented woman was snatched away from her.
But, that was not the heroine's own poem, but the result of stealing someone else's. If it was the heroine's own, she would have claimed it on behalf of Huo'er.
Now that things are like this, how can she be willing to watch Huo'er being defeated?
【Hey, why isn't my sister talking? 】
【Weren't we just talking about the Winter Feast?】
[Could it be that I was distracted for a moment while thinking about the plot, and my sister finished saying everything she needed to say? ]
"Okay, I know everything about the Winter Banquet anyway, so I'll leave it at that. But are you really going to take me to the Winter Banquet?"
【Ahhhhhhh, really? Really?】
I want to go, I want to go, I want to go and see the heroine act like a fool, and see all the men in Beijing fall head over heels for her.
【……】
“…”
Shen Qingyi was brought back to her senses by her inner voice. She pressed her brows and continued to talk about the winter banquet while holding the little baby.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Mrs. Shen arrived.
Shen Wan's inner voice became active again.
【Mom finally got up? 】
[Luckily, there's a wet nurse, otherwise I, the baby, would have starved to death. It's true that love is the key to success, but children are an accident.]
[Hmm, hmm, hmm. Let me be clear here: I'm not complaining about my mother.]
"What I mean is that my parents have a really good relationship. Fortunately, I have a wet nurse. Otherwise, my mother would have been too busy taking care of me to spend time with my father. I would feel really guilty if that happened."
[The preface and postscript may not sound right, but that’s what I mean~]
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Shen Qingyi: "..."
Hearing this, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her mother. She secretly glanced at her mother and saw that her mother's face was flushed red and her expression was slightly embarrassed.
[Hey, why is my face suddenly so red? ]
[Is it hot in the room? Not really, I don't feel hot. My sister doesn't seem hot either.]
[Why did that woman suddenly turn so red? And, uh, she seems a little unnatural. What's going on?]
[Did Mom suddenly think of something embarrassing? ]
[Could it be? Could it be? Hehehehe~]
The last few laughs were very magical. Mrs. Shen's face turned redder instantly. This little Wan'er is still so young, what is she thinking about all day long?
Ahhhhhhh, I'm going crazy!
