After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 21 Can I Travel Through Time Without Reciting Poems?

After passing a three-arch glazed archway, you will see a palace facing north and south.

This square palace with double eaves and a pointed roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles. The floor of the palace is paved with golden bricks, and the ceiling is in the shape of a well with a golden dragon and a seal. In the middle, there are five pillars with rounded corners and beams, which makes it spacious and luxurious.

There are corridors around the temple, and there are pools outside the corridors.

[Is this the Imperial College? ]

[Wow, it's so magnificent, not inferior to the palace in heaven at all. ]

"Is this the Imperial Academy, the highest institution of learning in ancient times?"

"It looks no worse than Tsinghua University and Peking University, with an ancient flavor!"

Xia Xiaoxian and Xu Yunxuan sighed together, which made Shen Yuyao straighten her back.

Yes, this is the Imperial College in her world!

The highest institution of learning in the Great Xia Dynasty is home to the most knowledgeable and promising young people of the Great Xia Dynasty!

The three of them walked through the glazed archway and came to the magnificent palace.

At this time, there was a temporary platform in the middle of the hall. On the platform, there was a carved soft chair. On the table in front of the chair were a lot of colorful writing paper with gold flowers.

Young students came to the stage one after another, bringing colorful papers with golden flowers and poems written on them. There was a man who looked like an old scholar sitting at the desk on the stage, reviewing the papers one by one.

Those that the old scholar read with a smile would be placed separately in an open brocade box, and some curious students would take them out and circulate them.

"Being unworldly is the bone of an immortal, being affectionate is the heart of a Buddha."

“The flowers are not fully bloomed and the moon is not full.”

......

Shen Yuyao also picked up a few at random and read them.

Now that the palace examination is approaching, it seems there are quite a few talented people in the capital!

Xu Yunxuan also came over to take a look and couldn't help laughing out loud.

These are all too childish. If the Queen were to come, what she would be able to write would be truly outstanding works.

But the only problem is that she can recite a lot of poems and songs, but she can only understand the meaning of a few of them. Which one is the most suitable for this occasion?

Xu Yunxuan was overwhelmed and she tugged at Shen Yuyao's sleeve.

"Although I can recite them, I don't understand the meaning of these poems. If the Queen asks me to analyze them, I might lose my head!"

[Why are all of them sour? ]

[Fortunately, I only have one front tooth at the moment...]

Shen Yuyao couldn't help but smile.

Xia Xiaoxian's big round eyes were darting around.

[This Imperial College is too boring, not as fun as the market...]

[When will mother take me to the market...]

As the pile of golden and colorful paper grew larger and larger, a shrill voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "The Queen has arrived!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

The person coming before her is none other than the current Queen!

All the students knelt down and said, "Welcome to the Queen!"

Shen Yuyao and Xu Yunxuan also knelt down with the crowd.

"Everyone, please stand up. Today we are only discussing teachers and students, not the emperor and his subjects!" The Queen's gentle voice made Shen Yuyao feel inexplicably at ease.

[The Queen looks like a kind and benevolent person]

Is this the commoner queen in the book who is very popular among the people?

The Queen was wearing a very simple palace dress today, with only a golden phoenix hairpin on her peony bun.

The queen looked a little pale. She walked slowly to the soft chair in the middle of the platform and sat down. Several plain-looking palace ladies stood on both sides of the chair.

"Are there any good works at today's poetry gathering?"

The Queen Mother asked the lady-in-waiting behind her softly.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there are several talented students in the Imperial College. I am preparing to present them to you and let you read them." A female official in a pink dress on the left bowed and said.

At this time, the eunuch was holding a wooden box filled with colorful paper with gold flowers.

The pink-skirted lady picked up one of the cards and read:

"My love for my son is endless. I am so happy when he returns home. I sew my winter clothes with my hands and write letters from home with fresh ink. When we meet, I feel sorry for his thin figure. I call him and ask about his hardship. I feel ashamed to be a son and dare not sigh about the world."

"Good, good sentence, seeing you sympathizes with your thinness, calling your son to ask about your hardship! Who did this?"

"The person who wrote this poem, Your Majesty, is named Xiao Jingren."

[Xiao Jingren? This is a man who will go down in history. Even though he is just a small student, he is both intelligent and brave, and very talented! ]

[According to the Three Life Book, this person won the first place in the imperial examination. By some strange coincidence, he ended up being the counselor of the King of Qi! The King of Qi is not a good person! What a pity. ]

The female official continued to read aloud.

There were dozens of authors who wrote the following poems and songs. However, with the previous one being so famous, the following ones did not receive much praise.

Even the female official who was reading the poem had a slightly lowered voice.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Yuyao whispered a few words in Xu Yunxuan's ear, took out a piece of five-color paper with gold flowers, and walked out of the crowd with Xu Yunxuan.

......

"It seems that Xiao Jingren is at the top of today's list."

"Brother Xiao is so talented!"

Many people in the crowd gathered around Xiao Jingren, as if by standing next to a great talent, they would naturally get to rub in some of his literary talent.

The voice of the female official reading poetry suddenly became louder.

"A loving mother sews the clothes for her son. She sews them tightly before he leaves, fearing that he will come back late. Who says that the love of a son can repay the kindness of his parents?"

As soon as the female official finished speaking, there was silence in the venue at first, and the next second, the crowd was almost boiling!

"This is the best poem in the history of praising maternal love!"

“Compared to the previous song, it’s even better!”

"Who wrote this poem? This year's top scholar must be this person."

"This person is really very thoughtful. Not only is his writing brilliant, but he also responded to the Queen's gift of clothes today."

"The Queen is the mother of the country, and we, the people, are the wanderers. This is so appropriate."

"Long live the Queen!"

"Who wrote this poem?" The Queen also stood up and asked in surprise, "Quickly bring the poet to the stage."

"Your Majesty, the author of this poem left a line of small words: Jingyi Pavilion Siye's wing room is waiting for you!" The female official whispered in the queen's ear. "Is your Majesty cheating?"

"Don't be afraid, let's go meet this mysterious poet!"

The queen smiled slightly. She was originally from the common people and often went on private visits in disguise. Now she was even more curious about what kind of talent could write such a good poem.

......

The wing room of the Jingyi Pavilion.

"Princess, do you think the Queen will come here?" Xu Yunxuan was still a little nervous. What if the Queen didn't come? Or came to blame them? What should they do?

Just now Shen Yuyao asked her to recite some good poems from their world, and they had to sing praises of maternal love.

Fortunately, she had a strong memory and recited a few poems at random. However, Shen Yuyao chose the simplest "Song of the Wandering Son". I wonder if the Queen of this world would like it?

"The Queen is known for her love of talent, so she will definitely come!" Shen Yuyao smiled gently.

"You just need to tell us about the injustice of your Xu family. As for whether your father can be rescued, you can only leave it to fate."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "The Queen has arrived!"
