As soon as Concubine Qing finished speaking, the young ladies from the official families present had already started thinking quickly!
In an occasion like this, although it is said to be a flower viewing occasion, who would not come here to show off their talents?
After all, there were many women of marriageable age at the scene. They came out with their grandmothers and wanted to show their best side in front of everyone, so as to leave a good impression in front of these ladies and princesses.
Who knows, their future husbands may be among them.
"That's great, then prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone."
At a command from the Prime Minister's wife, the maids began to get busy again. Soon, the servant carried the desk to the flower hall, and the maids presented the writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, then retreated in an orderly manner.
"Then ladies, please take a seat?"
Concubine Qing spoke, and the young ladies from official families stood up one by one and walked towards the desk. Chaoge sat firmly below Concubine Qing, not moving at all. She knew that the more she did this, the more impatient someone would be to urge her.
Concubine Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and didn't seem to plan to let Chaoge participate. But at this time, how could Princess An and her daughter miss the opportunity to see Chaoge make a fool of himself?
"Since Miss Yun knows about the precious plum blossoms, it shouldn't be difficult for her to write a poem about it, right?"
"Princess An, are you too busy? Little Pigeon has already said that she is not good at these things. What are you thinking?
To embarrass her?"
Concubine Qing doesn't want to give face to anyone, and she won't give it to anyone, even the current Queen Mother.
She was once controlled by the Queen Mother for the sake of her only son, but now...
As soon as this annoying Princess An opened her mouth, she immediately lost her temper and said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Princess An's expression changed and she quickly stood up and knelt down to bow to Concubine Qing who was sitting at the top of the table.
"Please forgive me, Madam Dowager. I didn't mean that. I just thought that Miss Yun is about the same age as everyone else, so we just wanted to have some fun together. After all, the talent Miss Yun showed just now doesn't seem like someone who can't write poetry."
Seeing Princess An like this, Concubine Qing sneered, rarely looking at her for a second, and waved her hand to let her sit down quickly, with a look of disgust on her face.
But let's not even talk about the value of the warm jade bottle. Just take the imperial green bracelet. Chaoge has already planned to put it into the private treasury of the Beggar Gang in the future. How can he just give it up like that?
Not to mention that she had studied for more than ten years in her previous life, the knowledge from books alone was enough to beat these pretentious ladies, not to mention that she was a systematic person?
There shouldn’t be too many poetry collections in the system library. Any poem you pick out should be enough to make people drop their jaws!
"In that case, I'll take part in it, too."
Chaoge stood up and was about to walk towards the desk, but unexpectedly Concubine Qing grabbed his hand!
When he turned around and met Concubine Qing's eyes, he saw that Concubine Qing kept winking at him.
It was obvious that Concubine Qing looked like this because she thought she wouldn't do it and was afraid that she would make a fool of herself.
"It doesn't matter. Participation is what matters, winning or losing is not the most important thing."
"Miss Yun has a good attitude. Participation is important. Participation is important!"
Upon seeing this, Princess An hurriedly agreed, fearing that Chaoge would be protected by Concubine Qing, so she decided not to participate.
Seeing this, Concubine Qing let go of Chaoge's hand.
It’s not that she looked down on Chaoge’s talent, but she didn’t quite understand Chaoge’s talent. However, she believed in her daughter-in-law and never did anything without confidence.
She must have her reasons for going.
While some young ladies were still thinking hard, Chaoge had already written the poems on the rice paper, put down the pen, and waited for the ink on the words to dry.
Unexpectedly, her quick movement startled all the ladies and made them open their eyes wide!
Looking at the other ladies and Princess Lina, Chaoge's speed in composing poems really amazed them!
"Miss Yun, are you done?"
Madam Prime Minister, it is unbelievable!
Chaoge nodded with a smile, "Well, it's ready. It's just that this is my first time attending a banquet like yours. I wonder if the poems are anonymously selected? What if someone picked the right one based on the food?"
After all, Princess Lina has too many dogs. She doesn’t know how many of the remaining people are Princess Lina’s dogs, so she has to be on guard.
"Well, Miss Yun, just write your name in the lower right corner. A maid will seal it later and shuffle the order. Then, the ladies present will review it. The ladies present, along with me and the concubine, will participate in the selection. The one with the most votes will win. The same rules apply to the poetry competitions in previous years."
"Well, that's fair."
After saying that, Chaoge signed her name, but Princess Lina, who was sitting on her right, looked at her with disdain out of the corner of her eye.
What kind of poetry can be produced at this speed? Doggerel?
Chaoge looked back, wanting to see how fast the other ladies were, but happened to meet Princess Lina's disdainful gaze.
Seeing this, she smiled coldly.
Princess Lina, after all, can't keep her cool!
After a while, half an incense stick of time was over. Some ladies could not think of any good sentences and finally completed the competition perfunctorily.
The maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion stepped forward, sealed all their names, and after shuffling the order, presented them to the Prime Minister's wife.
"May I ask Her Majesty the Concubine to take a look first?"
Hearing this, the concubine did not hesitate to pick up a piece of rice paper and began to flip through it. Finally, she stopped at a poem, took out her seal and stamped it.
The Prime Minister's wife took it and examined it again until she saw the piece of rice paper stamped by the Concubine Dowager. After reading the poem written on it, her eyes were filled with amazement!
Without hesitation, he took out his own seal and stamped it on it.
She had been thinking that she would choose whichever song the concubine chose, and that song must have been written by Chaoge.
But when she saw the poem, her selfish thoughts had already been amazed by the sentences in the poem!
When a stack of rice paper fell into Princess An's hands, her pupils changed slightly when she looked at the poem that had the seals of Concubine Qing and the Prime Minister's wife printed on it!
This is not her daughter's notes. Then who wrote this poem?
Could it be Yun Chaoge?
How is it possible? A country girl who had never participated in a flower-viewing banquet, let alone a poetry competition, how could she write poetry?
But the level of this poem is far superior to that of his daughter!
For a moment, Princess An no longer cared about making things difficult for Chaoge, because she discovered that among so many young ladies, there was actually someone who could write better poems than her daughter!
After a moment of hesitation, Princess An's seal fell on the rice paper with Princess Lina's handwriting!
No matter what, she naturally supports her daughter!
