Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The birthday celebration group marched in a mighty procession on the road to the capital.

The people are still the same, but the atmosphere in the crowd is very different from a few days ago.

The main difference is that everyone seems much busier than before.

What are you busy doing?

Busy reciting poems.

"The Big Dipper shines... light... light..." A man frowned, unable to recall the rest of the sentence. He turned aside and asked the person next to him, "What character comes after 'light'? What about Dizhou?"

"Yao! Yao Dizhou!" The person next to him raised his chin proudly. "Brother, this won't do. The Marquis of Zhaoping explained it to us word by word. We understood the meaning of every sentence before she asked us to memorize it. It's been three days, and you still haven't memorized it?! I memorized it yesterday!"

"Tsk!" The man who hadn't memorized it tsk-tsk, looking unconvinced. "I just couldn't remember the middle word for the moment! I remember the rest of the sentence perfectly! The Big Dipper shines down its light on the imperial state, the Southern Mountain offers auspicious clouds for longevity... Yunfu! How could anyone not memorize just this one sentence?!"

The people around him gave the man a thumbs-up, and then he suddenly sighed, "Brother, I'm really worried. You said we've memorized it now, but what if we forget it or can't remember it later? That's the emperor! Will the emperor be willing to listen to us recite this? Even if the emperor is willing to listen to us recite this, what if we don't live up to our expectations and perform poorly, and make the emperor angry?"

"Didn't Marquis Zhaoping say that? Let's repeat it over and over again until we can recite it with our eyes closed without even thinking. At that point, we won't stutter anymore.

Besides, Marquis Zhaoping has divided us into teams, and each team carries the same things, so now we are walking together as a team.

Even if some people forget, it's not possible for everyone to forget. As long as a few people don't stutter, everyone can follow along!"

As he spoke, the man leaned closer to the person next to him and said excitedly in a low voice, "Think about what Zhao Pinghou said, brother. If we perform well this time, it will truly bring honor to our family! From now on, I will stand in the village and see who dares to look down on my family!"

Yes, it brings honor to the family! Unprecedented honor to the family!

Thinking about the scenes and situations described by Marquis Zhaoping, both of them breathed heavily.

The two looked at each other and saw determination and uncontrollable excitement in each other's eyes.

Say nothing.

Keep reciting!

As long as you don’t die from memorizing it, memorize it until you die!

Whether my family can be proud and whether I can live a different life in the second half of my life depends on this!

"The Northern Dipper shines down upon the Imperial State, the Northern Dipper shines down upon the Imperial State...

Nanshan offers longevity and good fortune to Yunfu, Nanshan offers longevity and good fortune to Yunfu...

……

The sun and the moon will shine forever, and the mountains and rivers will never grow old!

The sun and the moon will shine forever, and the mountains and rivers will never grow old!

May heaven and earth be in spring, and may you live forever!

May heaven and earth be in spring, and may you live forever!

......"

In the past two days, similar conversations have taken place among many people.

The difference lies in that since the people in different teams recite different verses, the verses they discuss are also different.

"The nine-story golden palace opens the phoenix calendar, and the jade steps rise from the dragon tassels for a thousand years."

"The iron cavalry on the frozen river has become a thing of the past, the rice and millet are thick on the ridges in the spring breeze."

"The waves of the East Sea rise, and the auspicious turtle appears; the beacon fires at the border towns are extinguished, and all nations sing."

"The dense pines and cypresses condense amber spirits, and the eight thousand years of age of the Chinese toon tree are bestowed by heaven."

"Even if Penglai didn't live for five hundred years, the sun, moon, and mountains would remain forever."

"The sun and the moon will shine forever, and the mountains and rivers will never grow old!"

"Spring comes to heaven and earth, and may you live forever!"

……

Cai Shu listened to the continuous recitation of poems in the team and couldn't help but look at Cheng Wan who was at the front of the team.

He was an official, and he knew much better than these people that if these people could successfully perform the "Wanshou Tianshou Song" for the emperor, the emperor would definitely be very pleased.

From then on, these people could be said to have a "golden medal of immunity from death" to a certain extent.

By reciting two lines of poetry, you can show your face in front of the emperor and win his favor.

To be honest, if his status didn't allow it, he would have wanted to participate.

not to mention……

Cai Shu's eyes flashed, he stared at Cheng Wan's back, and couldn't help smacking his lips.

What's more, the tricks prepared by Marquis Zhaoping are not just to make these people recite poems...

Things were looking up for Cheng Wan, but Prince Jing in the capital was getting a little restless.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Prince Jing coldly questioned his men, "Hasn't there been any news yet?"

"Your Highness, not yet." Seeing the Prince's grim expression, Prince Jing's subordinate said cautiously, "The news may be on the way back. Your Highness may wish to wait a little longer."

Prince Jing impatiently twirled the jade pendant at his waist. "It's just killing a woman, and yet your efficiency is so low! It seems I've been too lenient with you in the past!"

"Your Highness, calm down!"

The servants nearby immediately knelt on the ground.

Prince Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the person kneeling in front of him. His voice was cold and gloomy: "Tomorrow, if there is no news coming back tomorrow, they don't need to come back!"

"Yes!"

Prince Jing flicked his sleeves and left, and the people left behind breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster.

"No need to come back?" Mu Yao in the East Palace seemed to have heard something funny, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Ah Qi replied respectfully and seriously, "Yes, Prince Jing did say so."

"Ah!"

It was rare for Mu Yao to laugh out loud in front of outsiders. He raised his eyebrows, the mocking smile in his eyes still lingering: "Everyone has been killed. Even if he wants them to come back, they can't come back."

Ah Qi lowered his eyes and became even more curious about Cheng Wan.

God knows how shocked she was when she found out that Cheng Wan had killed all but one of the secret guards sent by Prince Jing by himself.

So powerful, worthy of being Cheng Wan, worthy of being Marquis Zhaoping!

Ah Qi felt that if Cheng Wan came to work for the prince, perhaps their boss's position would soon be replaced by Cheng Wan.

"Ah Qi, keep watching. If anything happens, report it immediately."

"Yes!"

……

The next morning came, and Prince Jing didn't care about the trivial matter of when the news from the secret guard would come back. He got himself ready early and went to attend the court meeting.

The world has been settled, and government affairs in all aspects are on the right track. Now the emperor issues an order to hold court every three days.

No one would neglect the court meeting, including Prince Jing.

Ever since he was allowed by the emperor to attend court meetings, Prince Jing unilaterally regarded every court meeting as a "battlefield" between him and Mu Yao.

But what made Prince Jing extremely angry was that in the past, his presence in court meetings was not very strong and he rarely had the opportunity to speak.

But today is different.

At today's court meeting, someone took the initiative to mention Prince Jing.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Marquis Zhaoping is on his way to the capital with the Liangzhou birthday celebration delegation, and they are only seven or eight days away.

I think it would be better to have His Royal Highness Prince Jing go to welcome him on behalf of the Emperor, to show the Emperor's great grace and his concern for the people, and to complete this beautiful story."
