Kong Wenting, who was standing in front of him, saw Ji Yu's expression and started to joke, "Is this the wife you married after writing 20 poems for her?"
Ji Yu nodded obediently.
Shen Tongze also became interested when he heard Kong Wenting's words. He joked, "Brother Ji's poems are pretty good! Why don't you give us one now?"
Seeing that Ji Yu didn't say anything, Kong Wenting also echoed, "Write a poem, let's appreciate the literary talent of Huiyuan."
Ji Yu knew that if he didn't come up with a poem today, he would probably lose face, so he thought for a while and blurted out "In the morning, I was a farmer, and in the evening, I was in the emperor's palace. Generals and ministers are not of different species, and men should be strong."
"This five-character poem doesn't count. How about a seven-character quatrain?" Tao Ran at the back quickly replied.
Ji Yu had no choice but to chant another poem, "My past filthiness is not worth boasting about, but my unbridled thoughts today are limitless. The spring breeze is blowing and my horse's hooves are galloping, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
Ji Yu's parade today can be said to have truly understood the feeling of being in high spirits and galloping along the river as described in the elementary school textbook.
"I really got to see all the flowers in Chang'an today!" Shen Tongze praised.
Kong Wenting also nodded and said, "What a great day to see all the flowers in Chang'an! I'd like to read the twenty poems you wrote for your wedding."
After reading this poem, the number of women who liked Ji Yu increased several times.
Fortunately, the parade is almost over.
When Ji Yu returned home, Gu Qingqing was learning to cook with Xiao Tao in the kitchen.
Ji Yu's sudden appearance made Gu Qingqing's eyes flash with surprise, but she muttered softly, "Ms. Wanwan from Chunxiang Tower is still waiting for you today!"
Ji Yu now understood Gu Qingqing's habits. In the previous life, Gu Niannian said whatever she wanted to say and was very strict with Ji Yu, not allowing Ji Yu to have any contact with girls who liked him alone.
Gu Qingqing would also be jealous and unhappy that Ji Yu had too much contact with other girls. But Gu Qingqing would not say it out loud, and even pushed Ji Yu to meet other people. In fact, she was already very sad in her heart, but she had to pretend to be a good wife and mother on the surface.
What can I do? I can only pamper the person I like!
"I don't like her, I only like you. Do you want to push your husband who just won the second place in the imperial examination away? The women out there are all monsters, and they will eat me up without leaving anything left." Ji Yu said the threatening words in the most gentle tone, which had a different taste.
When Gu Qingqing heard what he said, she cried and hugged Ji Yu, saying aggrievedly, "They all said that they want me to be a good wife and mother! If you really want to go, I can't stop you."
Ji Yu gently stroked the girl's back, but in the end he couldn't bear to blame her, so he told her very seriously, "You are my wife, it is your duty to control me. If I go to a brothel to listen to music, you should rush in and bring me back."
Seeing the woman in his arms still sobbing quietly, Ji Yu continued, "You don't have to be well-behaved, and you don't have to be the good wife and mother that others say you are. You can live your life willfully and freely. No matter what you are like, you will be my first choice."
"Ayu...I like you." Gu Qingqing thought for a long time before finally uttering the words of confession.
"I won't be home for lunch. I'll be taking a car to the palace to attend the Qionglin Banquet. They will go directly there after the parade, and I have to rush to the palace too." Ji Yu said.
Gu Qingqing asked in confusion, "Then why don't you go with them? Why did you come back all the way?"
Ji Yu explained, "It was when I sent the flowers just now that I was afraid that you would see the woman in Chunxianglou and you would be suspicious."
"I won't." Gu Qingqing muttered softly.
Ji Yu was about to go out when he remembered something. He took out a flower from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "This is the flower you gave me today. I leave it for you."
The bright red peony looked particularly beautiful on his slender white fingertips. Gu Qingqing shyly accepted the flower and told him to leave quickly.
"Come back early. Don't go to those brothels." This was the first time that Gu Qingqing openly showed her possessiveness.
"Okay." Ji Yu went out reluctantly.
The Qionglin Banquet was held in the royal garden.
When Ji Yu arrived, most of the new scholars had already arrived.
The emperor had not arrived yet, and the group of scholars relaxed a little.
Several Jinshi came to Ji Yu and toasted him, saying, "Today is Chunxiang Tower. Do you dare to go to the second place?"
Ji Yu waved his hands quickly and said, "I dare not go. I have a wife at home, and I don't want to go to a place of prostitution."
At this time, a majestic male voice came from behind, "Oh! I didn't expect that the new runner-up I chose this year is still a clean person."
When everyone heard this familiar voice, they turned around and knelt down when they saw the emperor in bright yellow clothes.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I did not know that you were coming, so it is disrespectful for us to pick up our chopsticks first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "I was delayed by something. I told you to eat first. Get up quickly!"
Only after seeing this did everyone dare to stand up.
"It was you who rejected the marriage arranged by your father." A little girl of fifteen or sixteen suddenly appeared behind the emperor.
The scholars who followed him probably guessed what was going on after hearing this. This girl was probably the emperor's favorite little princess.
Some people were worried about Ji Yu. Some people were waiting to see Ji Yu's joke. They were all waiting for Ji Yu's answer.
