Qingyou could easily see through Lou Kui's thoughts.
She chuckled softly, a rare sharpness in her eyes, "I merely raised a question that was on my mind, and now you're questioning your hard work?"
"Do you think I, the princess, am framing you?"
Lou Kui looked up at Qingyou and said, "I didn't mean that, Princess, you've misunderstood."
Qingyou also looked at Lou Kui, "According to what you just said, you are naturally good at writing poetry. No matter what style it is, as long as you know the theme, you can quickly come up with something appropriate for the occasion?"
"The poems you just composed, were they all your own ideas?"
Lou Kui nodded. "That's good."
This is acknowledging that she is a genius.
Many people present believed this, after all, there are indeed some geniuses in the world who are extremely talented in certain areas.
However, some people are still skeptical, wondering if such a genius is really that amazing.
The green pomelo is waiting for Lou Kui to confirm this.
She looked at the learned scholar sitting in the middle of the lake and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Xie?"
Hearing her ask this, everyone else also looked at Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie was born into the prominent Xie family in Jiangnan. He has always been fearless of authority and has a very direct personality.
Judging from Mr. Xie's past preferences, he should really like a talented genius like Lou Kui who is good at multiple styles.
Mr. Xie's face darkened, and he even couldn't help but reach out and pat the table in front of him.
He spoke with a hint of anger: "Absurd, utterly absurd!"
Everyone was taken aback by his words and then looked at Qingyou.
Mr. Xie, are you implying that Princess Ling is being absurd?
Not to mention them, even Lou Kui thought that Mr. Xie was standing up for him, so he said that Min Qingyou was absurd.
Being labeled with such a term by Mr. Xie is not a good thing; it will greatly damage the reputation of Fujian pomelos.
She felt a surge of pride and excitement.
Then several more people couldn't help but exclaim, "Absurd!"
"It's really absurd."
Mr. Xie heard their words and glanced at the group.
He paused, taken aback, when one of them pulled out a collection of ancient poems from his pocket.
It turns out that these people were also blessed with the ancient collection.
It seems they want them to expose the plagiarist.
He looked at Lou Kui and asked, "Are you sure the poems you just wrote were all your own?"
Lou Kui snapped out of her excitement and had a strange, uneasy feeling.
But when asked like that, she couldn't very well say that she didn't do it herself.
After thinking it over again, I confirmed that none of the poets she plagiarized existed in this era.
So he forced himself to say, "Yes, it was indeed written by a student."
Mr. Xie's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "What did you feel when the Yellow River's waters came down from the sky?"
Lou Kui rolled her eyes inwardly. It wasn't her fault, so how would she know how she felt?
She had long forgotten the imagery and meaning of the classical poems she learned in school, which she had forgotten from her Chinese teacher.
However, she was not afraid.
She pretended to be thinking while mentally calling out to the system.
"Quickly, find all the poems I just wrote, including the author's state of mind, feelings, and circumstances at the time, and tell me everything."
System: "Two hundred favor points."
Lou Kui was speechless. "Okay, hurry up."
Just then, Qingyou said to her system, "System, she's probably going to cheat using the system again. Can you temporarily block or interfere with her system?"
System: "No problem, dealing with this kind of crappy system is a piece of cake for me."
On the other side, Lou Kui's system quickly located it: "This is Li, zzz..."
Lou Kui was puzzled. "What's that 'sizzling' sound?"
No matter how she asked, the system didn't reply, and she panicked.
Seeing this, Qingyou, sitting opposite, smiled knowingly, concealing her true intentions.
Lou Kui was unable to contact the system, but Mr. Xie asked again, "This is a poem you wrote, is it so hard to answer?"
Lou Kui could only make things up, "I just heard the teacher mention the theme of 'river,' and the poem 'Bring in the Wine' immediately came to mind."
It means she just wrote it on a whim; she's a genius.
Mr. Xie suddenly sneered, "You are truly shameless."
"Not only did they plagiarize other people's poems, but they even kept the poem's title the same."
"Do you really think that only you know about that collection of ancient poems, and that no one else knows about it?"
He said to the person who had just pulled out the poetry collection, "You have 'Bring in the Wine' in your book, don't you?"
This man is a scholar from a poor family, and currently serves as the Assistant Director of the Imperial Academy.
He stood up angrily and said, "Not only is 'Bring in the Wine' there, but all the poems that this Prince Lou just plagiarized are in this collection of ancient poems."
Then he carefully carried the ancient book to the center of the lake and handed it to Mr. Xie.
Mr. Xie accepted it, "Thank you!"
He kept that book in his study at home, so he could only borrow someone else's as evidence.
He held the collection of ancient poems in his hand, walked up to Lou Kui, raised it, and said, "You should have seen this collection of poems before."
"When did the poems of the Poet Immortal become something you improvise?"
Lou Kui didn't recognize any ancient poems or collections; she had never seen them before.
But upon hearing Mr. Xie's words, his expression changed drastically.
How did they know? Aren't those people nonexistent in this world?
She couldn't resist snatching the ancient book of poetry from Mr. Xie's hands and flipping through it.
Then his expression changed again. What happened?
Why are all those classic Tang and Song poems in this booklet?
Seeing her like this, Mr. Xie frowned. Lou Kui was simply an insult to civility.
Seeing Lou Kui grabbing and flipping through the book, Li Jiancheng felt distressed. "Be gentle, don't damage my collection of ancient books."
As he spoke, he even jogged over.
Lou Kui's face paled, and she suddenly didn't know how to deal with this situation.
She really wanted to fake fainting, but she was afraid of being discovered and becoming even more embarrassed.
The princes were stunned by this reversal.
The second prince walked over and took the ancient book from Lou Kui's hand, flipping through it.
The other princes also came over to look.
After reading it, the Second Prince smacked his lips and said, "I never expected that Prince Lou would openly plagiarize poems from ancient collections. I've really learned something new today."
The eldest prince also said, "I really didn't expect that."
He looked at Lou Kui, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "How could you be so shameless as to claim the poems of the Poet Immortal as your own? You even plagiarized two of his poems at once."
"I knew you were too young and inexperienced to produce such stunning poetry. It turns out it was plagiarism."
He then glanced meaningfully at Fei Yu and the Fourth Prince, saying, "Third Brother and Fourth Brother certainly have exceptional taste."
In front of these intellectuals, of course, the third and fourth brothers had to be dragged down with them to lose face as well.
The fact that they can get along well with someone who plagiarizes like that shows that neither of them is a very good person.
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince immediately looked at Fei Yu and the other boy and asked, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you two are on good terms with Lou Kui. Are you aware of her plagiarism?"
"Fourth brother just praised Lou Kui to the skies. Have you guys read this ancient book beforehand?"
