She put her own stamp on it first. She wanted to see if others dared not to follow suit!
Among them, there are still a few ladies with whom I have a good relationship. Even if they don’t recognize my daughter’s handwriting, they should know what to do when they see my seal, right?
Thinking of this, Princess An stamped her seal on the rice paper, becoming more and more determined!
After the round, more than a dozen ladies looked through the poems one by one and stamped their own seals on the poems they chose.
When the Prime Minister's wife finished reading them one by one, an expression of astonishment immediately appeared on her face!
"It seems that after reading this poem, all the ladies are as amazed as I am and the Concubine Dowager!"
"Yes! I really don't know which lady wrote this. These few simple words not only describe the beauty of the plum blossom, but also its quality."
Below, Mrs. Zhang heard this and hurriedly agreed.
Upon hearing this, Chaoge felt relieved. She knew that even a poem learned by an elementary school student could beat those ancient people.
Are you kidding? A poem that has been passed down for thousands of years was written by Wang Anshi, a hermit in Banshan. How can it be compared with Princess Lina's vase?
But who would have thought that after Madam Zhang finished speaking, Princess Lina's expression suddenly changed!
The poem she wrote was about plum blossoms, expressing the love between men and women. However, the poem spoken by the Prime Minister's wife and Mrs. Zhang was completely different from her own artistic conception. Does that mean that she will not be the winner of this competition?
When Princess Lina thought of this possibility, she subconsciously scanned the faces of the ladies one by one!
She wanted to know who wrote this poem that could beat her? !
There are several of them among them, all of whom are good friends of the Liang'an Palace. She thought that as long as they are together and under the seal of her mother, they can make a smart choice. But now, what is going on?
"Since the outcome has been decided, let's take out this poem and read it first. Even though I am not fond of elegant things, I think this poem is very beautiful. I can clearly express the artistic conception of the poem at a glance."
"Okay, then I will read it for you all."
As she spoke, the Prime Minister's wife picked up the rice paper.
[A few plum blossoms stand alone in the corner of the wall, blooming in the cold. I know from afar that it is not snow because of the subtle fragrance.]
"Pah pah pah pah"!
As the Prime Minister's wife finished speaking, in the quiet flower hall, Shi and Liang Yuanyuan couldn't help but applaud!
When the applause rang out, even many other young ladies joined in applauding!
"This poem is really amazing. It must have been written by you, Princess Lina! I never thought that Princess Lina would always win first place in this kind of competition. Princess Lina's talent is worthy of being the best in the capital!"
When Princess Lina heard what Mrs. Zhang’s daughter Zhang Yaoer said, her face turned pale!
This is certainly not hers!
If it was hers, the corners of her mouth would have involuntarily curled up by now!
"Yes, yes! Princess Lina always lives up to expectations. From now on, with Princess Lina around, we won't have to make a fool of ourselves."
A few young ladies started to make a fuss!
Looking at their smiling faces, Princess Lina actually felt it was extremely ironic!
Chaoge, who was standing aside, had already pursed her lips and couldn't help wanting to laugh out loud!
The first time she saw her, she thought Princess Lina was very beautiful, but now looking at the constipated look on Princess Lina's face, she had to say, she was really beautiful!
"This is not..."
I thought that instead of waiting for the Prime Minister's wife to open the paper and make myself look extremely embarrassed, it would be better for me to admit that I had met an opponent today.
But who would have thought that as soon as Princess Lina opened her mouth, Chaoge suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Princess Lina, it turns out that you are really talented. Look, so many young ladies have congratulated you. But I'm afraid that in the future, your title of a talented woman in the capital will be discounted. No, it should be replaced!"
Since they are not getting along anyway, there is no need for Chaoge to let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury and make life easier for this woman who has feelings for her man, right?
It was fine to listen to the first half of Chaoge's words, but when they heard the second half, everyone present changed their expressions!
Even the young ladies who had just congratulated Princess Lina seemed to have suddenly realized what was happening!
"What do you mean? You know I didn't write this?!"
Being ridiculed by Chaoge did not make Princess Lina angry, but from the implicit meaning of Chaoge's words, she understood who wrote this poem. Who was it?
No, Chaoge is also a contestant, she can't know unless...
"Oh, so this poem was written by you, Miss Yun?!"
Just when Princess Lina came to her senses and was in disbelief, the Prime Minister's wife had already removed the seal and saw Chaoge's nomination in the lower right corner of the rice paper!
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the ladies who were congratulating Princess Lina suddenly changed drastically, and they all wished they could disappear on the spot!
"How is it possible? She is just a first-class commoner. It is said that her family is from the countryside. How could she write poems of such a high standard?!"
The scene was silent, but Princess An was the first to refuse!
She obviously wanted to see Chaoge make a fool of himself, but why did Chaoge not only fail to make a fool of himself, but he also let her win the first place and defeated her own daughter!
"Princess An, what do you mean? Didn't you just let me go on stage? Now you are saying that I was born in the countryside, don't know how to write poetry, and shouldn't be able to write such a good poem? Aren't you just slapping yourself in the face by saying this?
I would suspect that you just emphasized that you wanted me to compete because you wanted to see me make a fool of myself, right? It turns out that Princess An has sinister intentions and is so scheming! I admire you so much! "
Chaoge's rhetorical question and sarcasm brought Princess An back to her senses. She realized that she had said the wrong thing out of excitement!
"No, that's not it! Then, then I wonder if Miss Yun could compose a few more songs on the spot?!"
Princess An was completely speechless, and finally, after gritting her teeth, she came up with this way to save her face.
Looking at her like this, Chaoge just sneered!
"You've already said it's not true, so why do you want me to compose a few more songs on the spot? It seems that Princess An still doesn't believe me!"
"Miss Yun, you keep pushing it back and forth. Is it true that you really can't compose a poem? The reason why you were able to compose this poem just now is because you prepared it in advance for today's plum blossom viewing?
No wonder, no wonder, Miss Yun, you are the one who wrote the fastest among all of us just now. "
Seeing that no one dared to offend the concubine and help her and her daughter to deal with Chaoge, Princess Lina had to step forward herself.
Anyway, she has already lost face today, so she will expose Chaoge's hypocrisy and let Concubine Qing see the true face of this woman!
"Oh, what if I could do it again?"
"As long as you can write a poem in ten steps based on the question I set, I will admire you!"
