There have been rumors circulating lately that Bei Yutang's talents were replaced by her younger sister, and that her achievements were in name only. Everyone present was skeptical about this.
Someone brought this up today, which aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and they wanted to see whether the most beautiful woman in the Great Duan Dynasty had any real talent.
Everyone looked at Bei Yutang to see how she would respond.
Bei Nianjin was very happy to see everyone targeting her, but her face was full of anxiety and worry.
She had long suspected that Zhao Sizhu would target Bei Yutang and would definitely separate them. Even if they did, so what? Proving her innocence was simply a pipe dream. She would wait until the two of them composed the same poem again and then see what Bei Yutang would say.
The last time was just an introduction, for today.
Bei Yutang stood up, glanced at Zhao Sizhu, and finally looked at the princess. "Your Majesty, since some people have doubts about this, in order to prove my innocence, please separate my sister and I."
Princess Lanling looked at Bei Yutang, who remained unfazed by praise or criticism, and said with a smile, "Okay."
She didn't quite believe that she would be that kind of person.
Bei Nianjin stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Bei Yutang. She stood up, and the head maid beside Princess Lanling personally led her to the seat closest to the princess. From this action alone, it can be seen that Princess Lanling valued her.
In front of everyone, the maids shuffled all the bamboo sticks and asked everyone present to draw one by one. Everyone had to write down a poem within half a cup of tea.
Bei Yutang pulled out one at random. When he saw the contents on the bamboo stick, he felt a little surprised but also felt it was normal.
She thought that after she came, the content of the draw might change, but when she saw the same content, she could only sigh that she was overthinking.
Bei Yutang was not in a hurry to write, but looked at Bei Nianjin instead.
The content on the bamboo stick drawn by Bei Nianjin was different from that of Bei Yutang, but she had already made preparations and replaced her own bamboo sticks in advance. Now the bamboo sticks on her chopping board were exactly the same as Bei Yutang's.
Bei Nianjin wrote down the poem that Bei Yutang won the first prize in that year without thinking.
In her previous life, Bei Yutang wrote this poem here, which attracted the favor of the current emperor. She was then brought into the palace and became the honorable imperial concubine of the Daduan Dynasty, enjoying wealth and glory.
Now this poem will be hers, and all the glory will be hers hereafter.
Bei Nianjin knew that there were several distinguished figures watching nearby, so she kept herself looking her best the whole time in order to attract the attention of the current emperor.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, everyone was named one by one, but the two sisters of the Bei family, who attracted the most attention in the audience, had not been named and looked at until now.
Most of the people present were talented, with only a few sons of princes and nobles who were not well-educated. Therefore, everyone's poems were very wonderful, and one or two amazing poems could be heard from time to time.
After one round, only Bei Yutang and Bei Nianjin's poems remained unopened.
Princess Lanling looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Now, the only thing left to open is your two sisters' poems. So, who will start first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Nianjin's voice rang out.
"Your Majesty, I'll go first. My literary talent is poor, and I can't compare to your sister's. The finest wines will be saved for the last tea, for the most aftertaste."
