Xie Liuzheng is such a big fool, can't he see that I like him?

How could anyone talk like that?

Xie Liuzheng is handsome, the only son of the Duke of Rong, and has not married a Crown Prince. He has good qualities and looks except for his mouth, which is as annoying as Luo Qingge's.

However, she likes this kind of gentleman, and it is challenging to conquer him.

Luo Qianxue thought silently in her heart that when Xie Liuzheng became hers one day, she would definitely train him well and make him listen to her.

Emperor Jingyang's eyes fell on Ji Yuntang. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ge'er and Xue'er have different opinions. What do you think about this, Princess Ye?"

Emperor Jingyang has always known that Luo Junhe married the illegitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis. He privately felt that the other party was not presentable, so he never summoned Ji Yuntang into the palace.

But now it seems that this woman is far more capable than he imagined. No wonder the queen has spoken well of her in front of him many times.

Ji Yuntang knew very well that Emperor Jingyang was testing him.

The two princesses argued over her, and he threw the question back at her, asking her to answer.

If Ji Yuntang could not come up with an effective solution, or if her suggestions were unfair, she would offend one of the princesses, including the Queen and Concubine Li who were present.

On one side is her husband's sister, and on the other side is her new friend. Everyone wants to know what choice Ji Yuntang will make?

Ji Yuntang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have a solution. Please listen to it."

"The two princesses disagree because the couplet I wrote has nothing to do with plum blossoms. In that case, I am willing to compose another poem about plum blossoms for everyone present to appreciate. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

A smile flashed across the Queen's face, and she said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think Princess Ye's suggestion is very good. Why don't we follow her advice and let her write another poem about plum blossoms in front of everyone?"

"The young men and women present here are all well-read and will be able to judge whether Princess Ye's poems are good or not. If she writes well, she will be declared the winner. If she writes poorly, Miss Ji will be declared the winner. This method is the most fair. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Jingyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. He had to say that Ji Yuntang's plan was indeed the best at the moment.

It's a smart idea as it won't offend anyone and also ensures fairness between her and Ji Qingqing.

"Then let's do as the Queen says. Princess Ye, if you can finish it within half an incense stick, you will pass."

Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

For modern people, writing poetry is an easy task.

If she had memorized 300 Tang poems in elementary school, she could easily crush Ji Qingqing.

However, Ji Yuntang still took a little time. She frowned and thought deeply, looking up at the sky, then turning her head to read a book, so that others would mistakenly think that she was just exaggerating and could not do it at all.

That’s what Ji Huaiche thought. He looked at Ji Qingqing’s pale face and lowered his voice to comfort her.

"Qingqing, don't worry. Others may not know her strength, but don't we two know it?"

"When the housekeeper brought her back, she was so timid that she couldn't even write her name. Now she dares to exaggerate in front of the emperor and the queen. I'll see how she ends up!"

"Big brother, but I always feel that my sister has changed..." Ji Qingqing's lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say that Ji Yuntang didn't look like he was bragging at all.

But, she was really sure.

This bitch is good at acting. She started acting when she was brought back from the Marquis' Mansion, and she acted until the whole family believed it.

Now Ji Qingqing couldn't tell whether Ji Yuntang was real or pretending.

If she was pretending, then she was really scary, so scary that Ji Qingqing wanted to kill her immediately.

Seeing that half the incense stick was about to burn out, everyone shook their heads, with contempt evident in their eyes.

Luo Qingge was as anxious as a grasshopper in a frying pan, but she still didn't dare to urge Ji Yuntang.

What should I do? What should I do? Time is almost gone. Why hasn’t my third sister-in-law started writing poetry yet?

Am I really going to lose to Ji Qingqing, this white lotus, today?

Everyone present had different expressions, only Luo Sinian and Xie Liuzheng were extremely calm.

Needless to say, Xie Liuzheng knew that Ji Yuntang was extraordinary since the medical competition, and he didn't think that a poem could stump her.

On the other hand, Luo Sinian had a complex emotion in his eyes, and even he himself couldn't understand what he thought of Ji Yuntang now.

This woman always refreshes his cognition again and again.

Whenever Luo Sinian felt that there was a huge mountain in front of him that he couldn't cross, Ji Yuntang's performance always surprised him.

Especially today! He found that the dark spots on her face were gone, and she was extremely beautiful.

He could never call her ugly again.

Luo Sinian felt that there seemed to be nothing that Ji Yuntang could not solve.

If Ji Qingqing faces her, Ji Yuntang will definitely win.

Finally, before the incense was about to burn out, Ji Yuntang spoke.

"The plum blossoms and snow are fighting for the spring but they are not willing to fall, so Sao Renge writes and comments. The plum blossoms are three points whiter than the snow, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum blossoms."

——An excerpt from "Snow Plum Blossoms, No. 1" by Lu Meipo of the Song Dynasty

As soon as she finished speaking, an elegant young man in white stood up and applauded her.

"Well, what a great line: the plum is three points less white than the snow, but the snow is one point less fragrant than the plum. Princess Ye's poem is really wonderful. I wonder how you came up with the idea. Can you explain it to me?"

Luo Qingge was afraid that she didn't recognize him, so she reminded her: "Third sister-in-law, this is Jiang Yunheng, the grandson of General Jiang. He is currently studying at the Imperial Academy. He is a simple-minded nerd. He doesn't have any aspirations. He just loves reading and writing poetry. He is addicted to books."

Ji Yuntang: "..."

Is it really okay for Luo Qingge to say this?

Moreover, her voice was so loud, I'm afraid everyone present must have heard it, right?

Ji Yuntang thought Jiang Yunheng would be angry, but he smiled elegantly, clasped his fists and said politely: "Ninth Princess, your comments on me are very insightful. Thank you for your kind words and praise."

Ji Yuntang: "..."

Call him a nerd, and he admits it?

It seems that he is really a simple-minded nerd.

However, Ji Yuntang keenly discovered a small detail in Luo Qingge's words.

Jiang Yunheng was studying in the Royal Academy. If she remembered correctly, the original owner's third brother Ji Zihang was also there.

Maybe these two are classmates.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang smiled and said generously: "Mr. Jiang, you flatter me. It's not that difficult. I just suddenly thought of snowflakes from plum blossoms, put the two flowers together, and compared the difference between them."
