Zhao Sizhu chuckled twice, turned around and left with a feeling of anger.
The chrysanthemum appreciation event was divided into two parts. The first part was for all the talented people to freely recite poems and compose couplets in the garden while admiring the various precious chrysanthemums. The second part, which was also the highlight, was the poem writing, and then everyone present would jointly select the winner.
This poem will be engraved on the Poetry Pavilion in Wanju Garden. Every year, the winners are all famous talents in the Daduan Dynasty, and more than 80% of them are the top scorers in the Golden Examination.
Gradually, a saying spread among the outside world: if you want to be the top scholar, you must first win the first prize at the Chrysanthemum Banquet. Therefore, countless scholars wanted to enter the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet and win the first prize.
If one were to ask where the best poetry of the Great Duan Dynasty could be found, it would undoubtedly be at the Poetry Stele Pavilion in Wanju Garden. It would be such an honor to have one of my poems engraved there.
Bei Yutang was known as the most talented woman because one of her poems was engraved in it.
Tens of thousands of chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and talented men and beautiful women could be seen everywhere in the garden. As soon as Bei Nianjin left Bei Yutang, her appearance quickly attracted the attention of many princes and nobles.
Bei Nianjin enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people. It felt so good.
In her previous life, she could only hide in the corner in obscurity. In this life, she wants to stand in that position so that everyone can only see her, and this chrysanthemum viewing banquet is the first step.
Bei Nianjin looked around but couldn't find Bei Yutang. At this time in the past, she would have been surrounded by countless princes and nobles, but today she couldn't be found.
Where would she go?
At this moment, Bei Yutang hid in a corner, watching the various men and women in the garden. In her eyes, others were just scenery. Little did she know that she had also become scenery in the eyes of others.
In a stilt bamboo building not far away, two handsome men were playing chess. Looking out from the window, they could see the corner where Bei Yutang was.
"Even though I haven't seen her face, I can tell she's a beauty just by looking at her graceful figure." One of the handsome men, holding a feather fan in his hand, looked at Bei Yutang.
The man sitting across from her glanced at her coldly, "She may look beautiful, but I don't know if she's hideous underneath, so I don't dare show her true face to anyone."
Feng Qingyang rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard his friend's words, "That's boring."
As soon as Qin Ziyu placed a piece, the outcome of the game was decided.
Feng Qingyang glanced at the chessboard, not caring about the outcome, and casually opened his feather fan. "Do you think he will come back?"
"Hanging."
Feng Qingyang nodded in agreement. Based on their understanding of that person, he would most likely reject the emperor's invitation. He was the only one in the world who dared to refuse the current emperor.
At this moment, Bei Nianjin appeared in front of them. Feng Qingyang and Qin Ziyu's eyes lit up. This was undoubtedly a pleasing woman. Among these noble ladies, she was the most beautiful they had ever seen.
Feng Qingyang and Qin Ziyu both showed admiration in their eyes.
A maid came hurriedly, and when she saw Bei Yutang, her eyes were full of joy, as she finally found her.
"Miss Bei, the banquet is about to begin. The princess invites you over."
The maidservant beside Bei Nianjin thought the maidservant was chasing after their young lady, so she said naturally, "Our young lady knows."
The maid thought she was just Bei Yutang's servant, nodded slightly at her, and left.
