Qin Qianlu couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She was about to refuse, after all, she didn't care about the so-called reputation for talent, nor was she worried about other people's gossip.
In her view, these empty titles were nothing but fleeting clouds, not worth her effort to pursue.
However, at that moment, Su Jinyun, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Qianluo, do you have any good works? I'm really looking forward to them."
I know of your talent, and with such a beautiful scene today, I'm sure you'll be able to compose a wonderful poem.
Qin Qianluo turned to look at Su Jinyun, a faint smile curving her lips, a smile as warm and touching as the spring sun.
She glanced around at the curious onlookers and said slowly, "Since Sister Su wants to hear it, then Qianluo will make a fool of herself today. Let's use the lake as a theme..."
Qin Qianluo paused slightly, then raised her eyes again, her gaze slowly sweeping over the surrounding scenery, her eyes revealing a sense of calm and composure.
Then he continued: "The drizzle has just stopped, moistening the green lake; the new waves ripple as ducks play."
The wind caresses the willows on the bank, their branches a thousand strands of green; the sun warms the orchids on the riverbank, their blossoms a myriad of crimson dots.
The shadows of clouds and the light of the sky add to the charm; the mountains and waters paint a picture of spring.
A small boat drifts leisurely along, quietly appreciating the lake's shimmering light, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Su Jinyun listened intently, savoring the charm of the poem, and couldn't help but nod slightly, exclaiming, "What a wonderful poem!"
No wonder Qianluo attracts so much attention; even the madam of Linglong Pavilion knows of her extraordinary talent. Truly a masterpiece.
Qin Qianlu smiled gently and said reproachfully, "Sister Su always teases me. This was just something I did on a whim. It's not worth such praise from Sister Su."
On the painted boat, Qi Meng was amazed to hear the maid recite Qin Qianluo's poems word for word.
She thought to herself: What a wonderful person! If I could keep her by my side, life would surely be much more interesting.
It seems I didn't choose the wrong person, and all my efforts weren't in vain.
At this moment, her determination to have Qin Qianluo intensified, and a glint of light flickered in her lowered eyes.
Upon hearing the poem written by Qin Qianluo, the other passengers on the cruise ship also stopped writing or reciting it and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They all knew in their hearts that with such a masterpiece preceding them, there seemed to be no need for them to continue.
This Prince Jinrui Zhao was indeed exceptionally talented; they could only sigh inwardly and hope for another opportunity to shine.
Everyone was wondering how long Miss Qimeng would stay in Tianxuan, and whether they would have another chance to be with such a beauty.
Their eyes held both disappointment and resentment, as if, in that instant, the flame of their hope had been flickered by the winds of Qin Qianluo's talent.
Seeing Qi Meng nod slightly in acknowledgment, the madam stepped forward again with a beaming smile and said loudly, "Gentlemen, today's poetry gathering is truly wonderful."
Your talents have been on full display, filling the air around this pleasure boat with a rich, elegant atmosphere. I am deeply grateful for your presence and enthusiastic participation!
Now, Miss Qimeng has selected the poem that best suits her taste from among everyone's excellent works, and this excellent work is none other than the work of His Highness Prince Jinrui Zhao.
Your Highness's poems are excellent in terms of strict meter, exquisite rhyme, profound imagery, and exquisite word choice.
All of them are outstanding, truly masterpieces, which made Miss Qimeng full of praise and her admiration was evident in her words.
Your Highness, the lake is as clear as a mirror in spring, the willows on the shore sway gently, and the painted boat is filled with the pleasant sounds of music and the fragrance of the breeze.
The girls also hoped to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains with His Highness and listen to his insightful opinions.
Your Highness, would you be so kind as to move to the painted boat, so that we may have the honor of serving you and sharing this beautiful spring day?
I know that Your Highness was boating on the lake with the Right Chancellor. The Right Chancellor is also a man of great talent, and we have long admired his name.
If you could also join His Highness on this pleasure boat and converse with him on refined matters, this spring outing would surely be even more enchanting. What does the Right Chancellor think?
Su Jinyun and Qin Qianluo exchanged a glance, and Su Jinyun spoke first with a smile: "I can say that I benefited from Qianluo's presence today."
I was fortunate enough to see this most luxurious pleasure boat in the capital and experience a unique kind of scenery.
I've heard that the decorations on this pleasure boat are exquisite; today I'll finally have the chance to feast my eyes on them.
Seeing the interest in Su Jinyun's eyes, Qin Qianluo nodded gently in agreement to go, and said with a smile, "Sister Su is teasing Qianluo again."
"Alright, since Sister Su wants to go, then Qianlu will accompany her to see the wonders of this painted boat."
Seeing this, the boatmen understood the two men's intentions. They firmly grasped the oars and skillfully and gently rowed the lake.
This made the cruise ship resemble an elegant white swan, slowly approaching the painted boat.
The boat glided smoothly on the water, only occasionally creating a few tiny ripples, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the spring lake.
Before long, the cruise ship finally docked smoothly on one side of the painted boat.
The boat's hull gently touched the pleasure boat, producing a low, soft thud, like a gentle greeting between old friends.
Qin Qianluo and Su Jinyun exchanged a glance, both seeing a faint smile and a hint of expectation in each other's eyes.
The two of them calmly straightened their clothes, which fluttered gently in the wind like clouds in the sky.
Then, with graceful steps, they stepped onto the deck of the painted boat.
Although the deck beneath their feet was a little slippery, the two of them moved with light and steady steps, as if they were dancing on the water.
