"My dear minister, your literary talent is outstanding, and your daughter is also a well-known talented woman in the capital. Then let's do it."
Yao Ruoyun's face lit up with joy, and she stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then she raised her glass and said, "The full moon of Mid-Autumn brings joy to the family. Let's raise our glasses to the moon and be at peace. May our emperor live long and prosper, and may the prairie fires burn throughout the vast land."
"good."
The emperor clapped his hands and said, "As expected, a tiger father will have a dog daughter. Reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yao Ruoyun was overjoyed and glanced shyly in the direction of the prince.
After Yao Ruoyun sat down, Prime Minister Yao said with a smile, "I am just throwing out some ideas. Everyone says that General Yu's sister is both talented and beautiful. Why don't you write a poem to cheer her up?"
As soon as the words fell, the people around him had different expressions.
Everyone knows that Yuman comes from a military family and knows nothing about poetry. She is never seen in poetry gatherings. Today she is really going to make a fool of herself. Some people who are jealous of Yuman being favored by the prince smiled under the cover of their wine glasses.
Yu Yuanbai stood up to help his sister, "Your Majesty, my humble sister has never been good at poetry since she was a child. How about I dance with a sword to entertain Your Majesty?"
"General Yu is a skilled swordsman, and his swordplay is naturally good. However, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, and it would be unlucky for the general to use a sword or a gun. I'd rather ask your sister to write a poem."
Prime Minister Yao and Yu Yuanbai had never been on good terms, and they only maintained peace because the Crown Prince valued them. He had wanted to make his daughter the Crown Princess in order to win over the Crown Prince, but he didn't expect Yu Yuanbai to take the initiative. Now that he had the opportunity to make things difficult for them, he naturally would spare no effort.
The crown prince, who was sitting at the head of the table, stood up and said, "I recently acquired a fine zither. I've heard that Concubine Jing is very good at playing the zither. Why don't you play a piece for me?"
Although the prince did not speak up for Su Man openly, he also wanted to help her out.
However, Yao Ruoyun couldn't hold back after hearing this, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is absolutely right. Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with a zither is certainly a great idea, but why not let Sister Yuman combine the lyrics and music? I'm sure that would be very sentimental."
When the prince heard this, his eyes turned completely cold.
The emperor always valued Prime Minister Yao, and seeing their persistence, he naturally wouldn't refuse their favor. He said, "In that case, Yuman, please write a poem and match it with Concubine Jing."
