Princess Hui'an thought for a moment and said, "We choose a theme, and whoever writes the most poems within the specified time will win."

Xun Niannian pursed her lips and smiled, agreeing readily, "Okay!"

This method of competition is exactly what Xun Nian Nian wants.

In her previous life, after Xun Nian Nian’s parents divorced, they left her to her grandparents.

My grandparents were teachers before they retired, and they had a large collection of books at home, including several thick volumes of Tang and Song poetry.

On those lonely nights without her parents, she couldn't sleep, so she liked to recite poems to help herself fall asleep.

As time went by, she herself could no longer remember how many poems she had memorized.

If the competition is about who can write more poems within the specified time, she is very confident that she will not lose!

Hearing Xun Niannian's straightforward tone, Princess Hui'an's eyes flashed with surprise.

Is she so confident that she can win?

"You agreed so readily? I haven't even told you what the punishment will be if you lose!"

Xun Niannian raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms: "Tell me, what is the punishment for losing?"

Princess Hui'an glanced at her and said, "The loser should shout three times: I am mediocre in talent and stupid as a pig! What do you think? Do you dare?"

Xun Niannian rolled her eyes secretly. She thought it would be some severe punishment!

However, Princess Hui'an seemed to be such a face-conscious person, and this punishment was enough for her.

"Why would I be afraid of anything? Just don't deny your defeat when the time comes."

"Last year alone, five of my works were entered into the Talent Workshop. My talent is obvious to all. How could I lose!" Princess Hui'an sneered as if she had heard a good joke.

How could she lose to someone who has never entered a talent show with any of his works?

At this time, the Princess of Yueqing County had returned from the front yard. When she heard that Princess Hui'an wanted to compete with Xun Niannian in poetry writing, she quickly ordered people to prepare paper, pen, and incense burner.

"How about setting the time within one stick of incense?" Princess Yueqing asked Princess Hui'an and Xun Niannian with a smile.

"I have no objection." said Princess Hui'an.

"I have no objection either." Xun Niannian nodded.

Princess Hui'an asked Princess Yueqing to choose a theme.

The Princess of Yueqing County looked up at the lotus flowers in full bloom in the pond not far away and said with a smile, "I think these lotus flowers are in full bloom and are very pleasing to the eye. How about using lotus as the theme?"

Xun Nian Nian and Princess Hui'an both expressed no objection.

After lighting the incense on the table, Princess Hui'an picked up her brush and began to write on the rice paper.

On the other hand, Xun Nian Nian did not rush to pick up the pen, but stood there leisurely and contentedly, admiring the lotus flowers in the pond.

Her unhurried and unhurried manner surprised everyone around her.

"The competition has already begun, and the princess has already written several words. Why is the Sixth Princess still leisurely admiring the lotus? Isn't she afraid of losing?"

"Leisurely? I think she must be anxious and panicked right now! She's standing there looking at the lotus because she hasn't come up with a poem yet!"

After a while, Princess Hui'an had finished writing one poem and was thinking about the next one, but Xun Nian Nian still didn't make any movement.

Now, even Dong Xing became anxious.

She really wanted to go up to the young lady and ask her why she hadn't started writing yet.

Haven’t you thought of how to write it?

Just write a few sentences!

Anyway, there is no requirement for how well it is written, as long as it is readable and has rhythm.

Princess Hui'an, who was standing by, was also quietly paying attention to her opponent.

She naturally also saw that Xun Niannian had not written a single word so far.

She had already finished writing a poem, but Xun Niannian hadn't written a single word!

Still want to win her?

It's just a foolish dream!

Princess Hui'an couldn't wait to hear Xun Niannian yell at her in front of everyone, saying she was as stupid as a pig!

She raised the corners of her lips and gave Xun Niannian a mocking smile: "Sixth Princess, why haven't you written a single word yet? Don't you know how to write? Or why don't you just admit defeat now?"

She said proudly: "If you admit defeat now, please, I will not ask you to say that embarrassing thing!"

Xun Niannian glanced at her and said, "No need, thank you!"

After a brief pause, she continued, "The reason I haven't written a single word is because I'm letting you do it. I'm afraid you'll end up writing badly later, so I'm letting you write for a while. You better hurry up!"

Princess Hui'an was so angry at Xun Niannian's words that her face froze.

"Just blow it! Don't beg me if you lose later!"
