Helian Qi was also shocked. He looked at the beauty reciting the poem in amazement and nodded slowly, "Very good."
Song Qingzhi's smile was stiff.
She was extremely talented and had also written poems about bamboo, but precisely because of this, she could immediately tell that her own poems were far from comparable to this one.
"Lady Wei's talent is really unexpected. It seems that I was too early to say it. Lady Wei's poem is the best tonight." After being surprised, Concubine Shu quickly took over the conversation and introduced Helian Qi very considerately:
"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Wei. She was selected to enter the palace this year, the daughter of Marquis Weiyong."
As he spoke, he looked at Lady Wei with concern:
"I heard that you fell into Yaoyue Pond and have been recovering since then. Are you feeling well now?"
Wei Yingya bowed and said, "Thanks to the care of the Concubine Shu, I am now well again."
In fact, she is not Concubine Wei.
The original owner had died when he fell into the water.
And she is an ordinary female college student who traveled from Earth.
Thanks to the fact that I had nothing to do in my previous life and loved reading novels and watching TV series, I am not unfamiliar with "time travel".
Based on my experience in time-travel literature, the first thing a time traveler who wants to be the heroine needs to do is to integrate into ancient life.
So for the past two months, she has been lying in bed and not going out, using the excuse of recuperating from an illness. She has been recalling and familiarizing herself with the various palace rules and etiquette and the memories of the original owner in her mind. She has never done anything unusual and has never said anything unrealistic or shocking.
Strive to be more like the ancients than they were!
In addition to integrating into ancient life, she also kept in mind the biggest taboo for time travelers - falling in love.
Once a time-traveling girl falls in love, there will definitely be no good ending.
By the way, how desperate must one be to fall in love with an ancient man?
In modern society, wanting to find a man who will be loyal to you is like looking for gold in shit.
What's more, for ancient people who lived in an environment where one wife and multiple concubines were allowed, the probability of meeting true love was lower than winning the lottery.
Ladies, you need to build a career!
The believer does not ask for a bit of true love, but for glory and wealth!
After lying in the house for two months, Wei Yingya gradually accepted the fact that she had traveled through time and also figured out her situation.
As a concubine, there is no other way out except to compete for favor and become the empress dowager.
Wei Yingya analyzed the situation calmly. Although she had no medical skills and was not a special agent, she should not panic because she had a great chance of winning!
This dynasty, called Dayan, was similar to ancient China in every aspect.
It looks like an imaginary fiction world.
Maybe she should be considered as a person who has traveled through the book?
This is not important. What is important is: she has read Tomato for 1131 hours and has watched 200 episodes of palace fighting drama!
What is the most important thing these days?
Experience!
She has extensive experience in palace fighting dramas, so she should be able to easily compete for favor.
Based on the experience of the heroine in the time-travel novel, Chinese cuisine is the first choice!
How many time-traveling women win the emperor’s stomach with delicious food!
In her previous life, she liked to make snacks when she had nothing to do, and this happened to be a perfect match for her major!
So two days ago, Wei Yingya finally got up from her sickbed for the first time and told her maid:
"I want to prepare a snack for His Majesty. Please take me to the kitchen."
The maid was shocked, "Master, you can't go to the imperial kitchen!"
Wei Yingya was stunned. The original owner was only responsible for eating and didn't worry about where these things came from.
This reminder made her remember...
The food for the concubines was taken from the imperial kitchen, just like getting food from a school cafeteria.
Of course it is impossible for concubines to go to the imperial kitchen!
The kitchen is a restricted area and outsiders are not allowed to approach.
If concubines could enter at will, wouldn't it be very convenient to poison them?
Those concubines who were able to cook meals in the emperor's palace were all favored by the emperor and received extra rewards.
Wow, isn’t this a closed loop?
In order to gain the emperor's favor, a small kitchen is needed to cook delicious food.
But if you want a small kitchen, you must first gain the emperor's favor.
This fucking...
Concubine Wei never expected that, with her 1131 hours of reading time, she had watched hundreds of episodes of palace fighting dramas, was familiar with all kinds of ways to win favor, and was terribly strong, but she died before she could achieve her goal, and lost because...
There is no kitchen.
"My chest still seems to hurt a little..." Lady Wei covered her chest and lay down again.
Fortunately, there is always a way out...
Just when Wei Yingya felt that she had no use for all her tricks, an opportunity came!
Midsummer Poetry Festival!
Before Wei Yingya attended the palace banquet, she was thinking about which poem to use.
She still hadn't made up her mind until everyone had handed in their papers.
The reason is simple…
There are many ancient poems, but not many are suitable to be brought out today...
First of all, love poems cannot be used. Love poems are used to express love between two parties in private. Writing about love publicly is considered rude according to the Dayan etiquette she remembered.
Secondly, it is not convenient to use specific place names and historical sites. There is no Yellow Crane Tower or Jingting Mountain here.
Frontier poems cannot be used, as they do not fit her character as a noble lady. Using the past to satirize the present, or worrying about the country and the people are even more unacceptable, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs.
It’s safer to write about scenery…
I sleep so soundly in spring that I don't wake up until dawn. In the evening, the sky is about to snow. A crane flies above the clouds in the clear sky. None of them is appropriate.
Although many concubines wrote poems in advance, they still look like they were written recently. You wrote poems about spring, autumn and winter in the summer, and they look like old works.
I need a landscape poem that looks like it was written recently, and it would be even better if it can express good character and noble sentiments.
In this ancient world, no matter how gorgeous your words are, morality comes first!
Wei Yingya spent a whole day eliminating these options, but still couldn't come up with a clear idea.
Just as I was about to put away the book, I thought of this poem "Bamboo and Rocks".
