Servants immediately brought a small square table and other things such as pens, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of everyone, and placed them all neatly, including in front of the prince and Qingyao.
Then the first topic was about peach blossoms, and everyone just had to write down their own poems on paper.
Hearing this, Qingyao picked up her pen and gently wrote on the paper: "A cluster of peach blossoms blooms without an owner, I love the deep red and the light red."
After a while, everyone stopped writing, and servants immediately came to collect everyone's poetry collection and handed it to the host.
The person who presided over this poetry meeting was the crown prince. If the crown prince had not come forward, it would have been difficult to invite these great scholars to serve as judges.
You know, these great scholars have always looked down on the children of aristocratic families, thinking that they don't understand literature but are showing off.
They came this time because the prince personally invited them. Originally, everyone thought that their literary level was just so-so, so they just wanted to show their appreciation.
It was not until they saw Qingyao's poem that they smiled at each other. Then one of the great scholars stroked his beard and said, "Well, it's a good poem!" Everyone immediately looked at the great scholar, who was the master of the current emperor.
He just clapped his hands loudly and said, "What a good poem." Everyone looked at the Taifu in surprise, wondering whose poetry collection made the Taifu so happy. Could it be Xu Qingqing's?
Everyone looked at Xu Qingqing again, and Xu Qingqing also thought it was hers and smiled elegantly.
At this time, the Grand Tutor announced that the winner of this competition was Qingyao. Everyone was stunned and looked at Qingyao. How could she win the championship?
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but ask, and everyone looked at the tutor, wanting to know what was going on.
The Grand Tutor then recited Qingyao's poem. When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized that this poem was indeed very good.
Everyone looked at Qingyao with a hint of admiration.
Qingyao looked calm, and faced everyone's gaze with a faint smile, as if she had expected this victory.
Crown Prince Di Jing looked at Qingyao with admiration in his eyes and said, "Miss Qingyao is indeed both talented and beautiful."
Qingyao bowed and thanked him, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. It was just a fluke."
