Chapter 1028 This slap was incredibly loud!
thy, though the courtyard is a bit out of style, it's genuinely a good one. I heard Zhang Laoqi spent over a hundred taels when he built it. Now, with ten more acres of land added, it only costs a hun...Miss Lu quickly posed a riddle, and everyone subconsciously looked toward the nearby peach tree and nodded in agreement.
The painting depicts a scene before one's eyes, adhering to conventional norms without being either outstanding or flawed.
The eunuchs quickly set up tables and chairs, with pens, ink, paper, and inkstones all ready.
Miss Lu pulled at her sleeve with one hand and started writing with the other.
Being young, excitement got the better of me, and I completely forgot to play it cool for a bit.
Jia Yin couldn't help but smile at such a foolish opponent.
She was so calm, which drove Baozhu and the Third Princess crazy.
Baozhu urged repeatedly, “Sister Jia Yin, write quickly! She’s almost finished!”
The third princess, flustered, also rolled up her sleeves and personally ground the ink for Jia Yin.
Jia Yin laughed and comforted them, “Why are you so anxious It’s not about the quality of the poems that determines the winner, it’s not a race to see who can write faster.”
The young woman named Lu across from them rolled her eyes at them in disdain upon hearing this.
Jia Yin shrugged, finally picking up her pen and starting to write.
After arriving at Tianwu, because her brothers were all starting to learn how to read, Jia Yin also learned about the cultural heritage of this place in detail.
It has to be said, throughout history, this time and space has indeed produced many extraordinary talents. Some texts even overlap with those of past lives.
But poetry and prose perhaps served little use to the ruling dynasty, so they have always been overlooked.
Classic poetry collections passed down through the ages are not numerous, and those widely recited classics are even rarer.
Therefore, Jia Yin has the backing of five thousand years of culture from past lives, a dazzling collection of poems as rich as a starry sky. Today, there is absolutely no need to worry.
She had too many poems about peach blossoms in her mind. After thinking for a while, she chose a simple one and slightly altered two words to match the location of today.
But it was written in just four sentences, in a moment.
It just so happened that Miss Lu across from him had also finished writing.
They looked at each other, and then Lu Guiren began to display her grace as a noblewoman, smiling and saying, "Your Highness, please go first!"
Jia Yin didn't hesitate, and loudly recited, "In the world, April flowers are fading at their peak, but in Yu Yuan, peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom. Longing for spring returns with no place to find it, I didn't know I had entered this garden."
April's flowers
Will the spring of long longing return
The Emperor and several high-ranking officials hadn't really taken the girls' competition to heart. After all, writing poetry and lyrics requires a deep accumulation of knowledge, not something just anyone can do.
As long as the little girls can write a few sentences that are fairly fluent and with proper rhyme and rhythm, it's already quite good.
To their surprise, the opening move gave them an unexpected delight.
"Good, good!" The emperor was the first to speak, praising, "When did Jia Yin learn to write poetry I didn't even know. What a wonderful 'Long Hate Spring Courtyard, nowhere to find!'"
Even a high-ranking official who loved poetry on a daily basis couldn't help but nod in agreement, "There's also 'In the homes between April blossoms fade,' it's incredibly fitting. The entire poem flows smoothly, with profound meaning and excellent poetic imagery!"
The Noble Consort was unwilling, but with the Emperor by her side, she could only smile and praise, “Indeed, a fine poem!”
Of course, the people below didn't dare to disobey. They laughed along and nodded continuously.
Jiayin smiled and looked at Lu Gu, "It's your turn to recite your peach blossom poem!"
Miss Lu, who was just beaming with confidence and certainty, now looked pale and defeated.
How could a peasant girl, born with dirt on her feet, possibly write poetry
And it's still so excellent!
Looking down again, the four sentences she had written were truly unbearable. She wished she could just pass out.
But under everyone's watchful eyes, there was nowhere to hide. She could only grit her teeth and read aloud.
A myriad of flowers in bloom, a garden fit for an emperor. Peach blossoms blaze with fiery beauty, fulfilling every wish.
"Cough!" Someone interrupted, a sharp cough cutting through the air.
In fact, if it were a casual afternoon stroll in the garden and she was writing poetry as a pastime, Miss Lu's skills wouldn't be considered bad. But this is the Imperial Poetry Competition!
And he was still that arrogant, acting like he was the best in the world, but when he opened his mouth, it was…
The worst part is, Jia Yin's "Human April Blossoms Fade" came before this, making Lu Guiren look like a clown in comparison...
The Emperor lowered his head to sip his tea, remaining silent.
The Noble Consort felt a burning hatred and secretly wiped her tears. If she could, she would gladly take Lu girl's place.
This idiot ruined the opening move!
Madam Lu and the rest of the ladies were also anxious, stamping their feet. Madam Lu urged softly, “Read, continue reading!”
Miss Lu was too embarrassed to speak. These two sentences were already humiliating enough, and the remaining two were even worse…
Jia Yin showed her no sympathy or mercy at all, and with a smile she said, "Miss Lu, why aren't you reading anymore Have you given up"
Miss Lu was ridiculed and, unable to bear it any longer, threw the manuscript aside and angrily retorted, "Even if the Princess wins, she doesn't have to be so aggressive, does she"
"Is Miss Lu conceding defeat" Jiayin ignored her and continued to ask.
Miss Lu bit her lip and reluctantly replied.
"Yes, I lost this round! But..."
She still had to defend herself a few more times, but Jiayin was impatient and waited. She turned her head and glanced at Shui Ling.
In the next instant, Shui Ling darted out and rushed right before Lu girl, raising her hand for a vicious slap!
"Slap!" The intimate contact of palm and cheek produced a sharp sound, leaving everyone stunned.
No one expected that Jia Yin would say "let's fight"!
Miss Lu was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a "Wow!" with tears streaming down her face!
"Woooo! You actually dared to hit me! You hit me!"
Jia Yin spread her hands, her pretty little face full of innocent confusion. “Why can’t I hit you This is a competition. You lost, and I want the prize money. Is there something wrong with that”
"You, you!" Miss Lu was furious, as if she wanted to fight back, but she didn't dare.
At this point, if the Third Princess didn't apply to join the fray, it would be a shame considering her fiery temper.
The Third Princess rolled up her sleeves, pinched her waist, and shouted, "What do you mean! Don't you understand the meaning of accepting defeat If you have the guts to compete, you have the guts to accept the consequences. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean your words don't count!"
"You won, you can hit others, but if you lose, others can't hit you! What's the point"
"You think that day belongs to your family Dream on, the world belongs to me!"
The emperor couldn't bear to look any longer. The princess, a fine lady by birth, argued in the streets just like a common scold.
When did you learn such bad habits!
He coughed hurriedly, stopping her, "Alright, alright! It's just a competition. What's the big deal about winning or losing Come on, let's start the second round."
The Noble Consort also opportunely stepped forward to play the role of a good person, instructing the palace maids, "Go find some ointments for swelling and pain relief from the imperial physician."
The maidservant hurriedly retreated.
Mrs. Lu supported her daughter, and even though she was filled with anger and heartache, she didn't dare to speak up.
Seeing Lu girl's swollen cheeks, the other ladies and girls all trembled in fear.
Although they agreed to use cheek-slapping as a starting point, in reality, none of them cared.
Even if you lose, just apologize and admit defeat, and things will usually pass.
After all, they all live in Xindu. The Li family's foundation isn't very deep either. How dare County Princess Kangle really hit someone
As a result, Lady Kang Le really slapped her, and it was incredibly loud! of the Li family.""Who would have thought, Li Jiayi had the guts to directly kick Wu Yan to death!"If Wu Yan were still the Duke of State, Li Jia would have been punished no matter what.But unexpecte...
