"Oh?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow. "Lord Liu, what kind of poetry do you think is truly elegant?"
Minister Liu proudly took out a poem and said, "I have composed a poem in praise of the Emperor. I would like to invite your Majesty to appreciate it."
The emperor took the manuscript, glanced at it, and frowned: "This poem...why does it look so familiar?"
Shen Weiwan took a closer look and almost laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, isn't this the jingle that Wang Xiucai recited on the street the day before yesterday? How did Minister Liu copy it?"
The emperor took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the case. His face suddenly darkened: "Lord Liu, what do you mean by this?"
Minister Liu's face turned pale and he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I...I was just confused for a moment..."
"A moment of confusion?" The emperor snorted coldly, "Come here, drag Minister Liu away and interrogate him!"

"Your servant obeys your order!" Shen Weiwan was delighted.

Xiao Yu laughed: "Of course there is. Come on, I'll take you to collect your salary and treat you to roast duck."
"Okay!" Shen Weiwan smiled with her eyebrows curved.

The common people had a new topic of conversation: "Look, that's Miss Shen, the 'Folk Poet Saint' personally crowned by the Emperor! And next to her is His Highness the Seventh Prince!"
"Have you heard? Minister Liu was arrested for plagiarizing a jingle!"
"Serves them right! Who told them to always go against Miss Shen?"
Shen Weiwan listened to the people's discussions and felt happy. She knew that this was just the beginning, and the days to come would only be more exciting. And she would continue to be so happy, trampling all her enemies under her feet and living a different life!
