Forget it, she had wanted to keep silent and act like an invisible person, but someone just stuck his face in front of her, waiting for her to hit him.

Since she has taken such initiative, it is natural for a kind-hearted person like her to refuse such kindness. There is no reason not to fight!

It is true that she is a science student, but she has also memorized dozens of poems left by modern literati and poets. Any one of them she picks out at random is enough to make these talented men and beautiful women lose their way.

After all, what have been passed down from generation to generation are fighter jets among classics and VIPs among the essence.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Shuning slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Since you have said so, then I will have no choice but to respectfully obey your command."

She cleared her throat, searched her mind for a poem that fits the occasion, and recited: "The plum blossoms and snow are fighting for spring, and poets have put down their pens and stopped commenting. The plum blossom is three points less white than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossom."

At this moment, Lin Shuning silently thanked Lu Meipo for writing this poem. When she returned, she would kneel in front of the Buddha statue, burn incense and pray for him, Amitabha.

There was silence at the table.

The noble lady who had just found fault and the sarcastic Wang both stood there in a daze, with their mouths open, not moving at all, as if they had been struck by lightning.

After a while, Jiang Che took the lead and shouted "Good!", and thunderous applause suddenly broke out all around.

Amid the thunderous applause, a familiar and majestic voice suddenly rang out: "What a good poem! What a good poem! Who wrote it?"

Not far away, a bright yellow figure appeared at the end of the corridor. It was Emperor Jingsheng.

The group quickly stood up and saluted.

"Your humble servant has greeted His Majesty. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long, long live the emperor."

"I have met the emperor."

"My son (daughter-in-law) has met my father."

Emperor Jingsheng smiled warmly and raised his hand: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up.

The Queen immediately gave her seat to Emperor Jingsheng and stood aside, her eyes revealing the admiration of a little girl from time to time.

Emperor Jingsheng smiled and said, "Don't be so reserved, everyone. I heard that the Queen is hosting a banquet in front of Changle Palace to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms today, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to hear a great poem as soon as I arrived. Who wrote it?"

"Your Majesty, it was done by me." Lin Shuning replied with her head down, apologizing to Lu Meipo a thousand times in her heart. She was forced to do so by the situation, otherwise she would never be willing to take the fruits of someone else's labor.

"Oh? It's you, girl." Emperor Jingsheng was a little surprised.

The Queen smiled faintly beside him: "What does the Emperor think?"

The head nanny had swiftly brought over another chair and helped the queen sit down.

"It's really good, it suits the mood and the scene, it's really a good work. I thought that Miss Lin's medical skills were amazing enough, but I didn't expect that you are also quite accomplished in literature." Emperor Jingsheng's eyes were full of admiration, and his words were full of praise that could not be concealed, "I really underestimated you."

The call of "Mr. Lin" instantly shortened the distance between the two of them, causing envy among the people at the table.

Lin Shuning blinked and said, "Your Majesty, where are the rewards for me? The Queen gave gifts to everyone."

"Let me think about it," Emperor Jingsheng actually thought seriously, and said while folding the Buddhist beads in his hand, "I remember there is a pair of jade bracelets of the late Empress Dowager Ci in the Qianqing Palace. Eunuch Li, go get them for Miss Lin."

"Your Majesty, that jade bracelet belongs to the Empress Dowager. Didn't you seal it up a long time ago and not allow anyone to touch it?" The Queen said in surprise, clutching her handkerchief tightly.

Emperor Jingsheng nodded: "That's true, but Miss Lin saved my life. The spirit of the Empress Dowager will surely protect my savior. This bracelet will just sit there anyway, so why not give it to someone who is destined to have it?"

The queen wanted to say more, but Lin Shuning did not give her a chance to speak. She bowed and said, "I thank the emperor."

In just a moment, Eunuch Li took out the jade bracelet.

Lin Shuning didn't understand why the queen was so unhappy when she learned that Emperor Jingsheng was going to reward her with the jade bracelet, but the moment she saw the pair of jade bracelets, she understood everything.

This jade bracelet is so beautiful. It is emerald green all over, with rich water quality and full of charm. Many of the top words to describe jade ornaments seem to be born for it.

This is the real top-grade jade bracelet, truly priceless.

In contrast, the pair of jade bracelets that the queen had just given suddenly lost their luster, and countless envy, jealousy and hatred instantly fell on Lin Shuning.

Wang gritted her teeth, she never thought that her wishful thinking would fail like this.

She had never hired a private tutor for Lin Shuning, so she should not be able to compose poetry no matter what. However, not only did she compose poetry, but her poetry was so beautiful that she was praised by the emperor himself.

And even received such a precious reward!

She was trembling all over and felt like she was going to faint in the next second.

Lin Shuning didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. She caressed the jade bracelet lovingly, and took it out quickly as if she was afraid that Emperor Jingsheng would regret it. She put it on her wrist and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will cherish it."

"Yeah." Emperor Jingsheng nodded slightly, looking at Lin Shuning's overjoyed expression, he was very pleased.

The Queen twisted her handkerchief tightly in jealousy. According to common sense, the jade bracelet should have fallen into her hands after the Queen Mother died.

But the Emperor intervened and stopped him, saying that this was the Empress Dowager's personal belongings and he wanted to keep it as a keepsake.

Just with this one sentence, the bracelet remained silent for ten years and only saw the light of day today.

But it was not in her hand, but in the hand of a young girl.

How could she be willing to do so!

"This jade bracelet is too noble. I feel that Miss Lin can't control herself." The Queen said hypocritically.

"Really?" Lin Shuning raised her eyes and didn't look at the queen at all. Instead, she smiled brightly at Emperor Jingsheng: "I like it! Your Majesty, I will wear it day and night and never take it off."

Nonsense, such a priceless jade bracelet is bound to be coveted by people. It was a reward from Emperor Jingsheng. It is the supreme honor. She has to wear it on her hand all the time.

"I think it's very good." Emperor Jingsheng smiled with his eyebrows curved. The more he looked at Lin Shuning, the more satisfied he felt.

Seeing that Emperor Jingsheng said so, the Queen didn't say anything more and looked at the head nanny beside her.

"The poetry and lyrics session is over. Now, all the talented scholars and beautiful ladies can present their music. If the emperor and the empress appreciate your music, you will be rewarded."

After the head nanny finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and immediately palace maids came in one after another, holding musical instruments such as guqin, pipa, and flute.

The people at the table were already jealous and resentful of Lin Shuning for having just received such a valuable reward, and when they saw the opportunity they immediately became restless, with several of them vying to be the first to perform.

Emperor Jingsheng saw the trouble and waved his hand: "Why don't you just play a song together?"

Several people looked at each other and had to agree. They chose the guzheng, pipa and flute respectively, and the remaining one person was the lead singer.

With the ensemble of several people, the rippling music is like the clear water in a mountain stream, bright and distant, coupled with the cold tune, it is quiet and peaceful, yet filling the ears.

When the song ended, several people bowed and said, "I am honored to present my humble service."

Emperor Jingsheng showed some approval: "Eunuch Li, reward."

"Yes." Eunuch Li understood and stepped forward, handing over a jade pendant one by one. However, judging from the color and water quality, compared with Lin Shuning's pair of jade bracelets, the difference was not even a little bit.

But they also knew that Lin Shuning had saved the emperor, so they did not dare to think too much and quickly accepted the gift and bowed to express their gratitude.

Then a few more people came up to show their talents, but no one dared to mention Lin Shuning. Now that Emperor Jingsheng was here, who would dare to embarrass her?

Lin Shuning was also happy and relaxed. She listened to the music comfortably while touching and looking at the bracelet, her sparkling eyes full of brilliance.

This bracelet is so precious and rare that it must be worth at least two thousand taels of gold.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuning didn't feel so bad about losing one thousand taels of gold.

After the talent show ended, it was time for free activities. Emperor Jingsheng was afraid that his presence would restrain the young children, so he left with the Queen. Before leaving, he also called Jiang Hong away, and no one knew what he was going to say to him.

Lin Shuning had no interest in appreciating the snow or tasting plum blossoms. Although she loved snow, she was also extremely afraid of the cold. Just looking at beautiful things was enough to make her happy.

She sat in her seat, warming herself by the fire, eating melon seeds while watching people playing and having fun.

"Miss Lin, are you feeling cold? Here's the hand warmer for you."
