You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?
Chapter 25: Crushing Poetry Competition
"Mr. Sun, you go first and dampen their enthusiasm!"
When the Loulan envoy saw Du Qingwan looked dazed, he took the initiative to urge Sun Shangde to write a poem first.
He firmly believed that Sun Shangde could win this game, so he didn't feel nervous at all, and his face was full of confidence and pride.
Sun Shangde pondered for a moment and quickly composed a poem:
"There is a woman in the city, graceful and exquisite. In the painting, she is like a pond, playing the strings of a zither in the wind."
"This poem was written by me on the spur of the moment and I named it "Things in the Pond".
Queen Daye, it's your turn to write a poem! You haven't thought about it yet, right?
It's not too late to admit defeat now, so that everyone won't laugh at you later!"
After finishing the poem, as per convention, Sun Shangde proudly gave it a name - "Things in the Pond", with an attitude of superiority.
Upon hearing this, everyone present praised Sun Shangde's poem and even started to mock Du Qingwan without realizing it.
"Empress, Mr. Sun is a genius in the world. Just admit defeat. We won't fight anymore."
"Yes, this poem is wonderful and profound, how can we understand it?"
"That's right, that's right. Master Sun is indeed worthy of being the number one master in Loulan. The poems he wrote are unmatched in the world!"
The court officials all echoed the words one after another, and the hall soon fell into chaos.
Zhu Yunhao also felt that the dragon throne was a little hot on his butt at this time. He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles and was very restless.
His expression gradually became solemn, with an unknown sense of frustration in his deep eyes, and his nerves were unconsciously tense.
"Queen, can you write poetry?"
Ignoring the ridicule from the young man in white and the Loulan envoy, and ignoring the cold stares from his own courtiers, Zhu Yunhao suddenly asked Du Qingwan loudly with a very cold tone.
“Sister, if you can’t write poetry, just admit defeat. No one will laugh at you.
After all, you are just a poor daughter of a general.
Even though she married into the palace and became the queen, she was not loved by the emperor.
If you insist on being strong, it will be even more embarrassing if you lose. It is better to just admit defeat and not do it anymore.
Sister, what my sister said... is it right?"
Du Qingwan had already written a poem and was preparing to accept the challenge.
Du Zhirou suddenly rushed to her, pretended to be distressed and kept some distance from her, but took the opportunity to mock her.
Du Qingwan was naturally unconvinced, and she flicked her sleeves to push Du Zhirou's arm away, glared at her fiercely, and said with a smug smile:
"Who said I can't write poetry? This poem of mine is called "Proud Plum Blossoms", and I just wrote it myself. Listen carefully!"
"The plum blossoms on the wall are fragrant with dewdrops, standing tall and elegant, defying the cold snow.
The beautiful lady stands in the desolate courtyard, sighing at the waning moon and asking about the spring breeze.
What shocked everyone was that Du Qingwan actually wrote a poem.
Moreover, the artistic conception is more profound and meaningful than Sun Shangde's, with a strong sense of picture, and it is also faintly mixed with a certain sadness, which is full of expectations.
"What a great poem! It is truly a peerless poem that will not only be passed down through the ages, but must also be recorded in history!
I will pick up my pen right now and let the people of Daye praise it for generations to come!"
Zhong Shanzhu, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was the first to react. He was amazed and did not forget to write it down, his heart filled with joy.
Hearing this, the Loulan envoy and the young man in white were stunned.
The two of them looked at Sun Shangde, who was also stunned, with a look of powerlessness on their faces.
"How is it possible? How can a weak woman like you write such an elegant poem?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. You must have plagiarized it!"
Just as Du Qingwan expected, Sun Shangde did not agree with the poem she wrote at all and insisted that she had copied it.
But she had already prepared a countermeasure and calmly asked:
"Mr. Sun, since you said that my poem was copied, then may I ask, which poem did I copy? And who was the original author?"
"This……"
Sun Shangde was stunned by the question for a moment, and immediately became speechless, with his expression becoming extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Du Qingwan refused to give in and pressed on:
"You are the greatest master in Loulan, known as a genius in the world.
You can't possibly not tell me where this poem of mine came from, can you? "
It has to be said that Du Qingwan's rhetorical question was extremely sharp. No one present would have thought that she would be so eloquent.
Fortunately, all the civil and military officials in the court were not idiots and could see the situation clearly.
Obviously, Daye won this game.
They are so happy that they don't have time to bother. How could they go against their conscience and sabotage like before?
"Yes! Mr. Sun, you said that the Empress's poem was copied. Which poem did you copy? Can't tell me?"
Upon learning that Du Qingwan won the competition, Zhang Xingguo was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and immediately gave Sun Shangde a fatal blow.
He looked very proud, as if he had won the competition.
"Prince Wanyan, we, Daye, won this round. Are you convinced? My queen is really awesome! Haha..."
After being depressed for such a long time, Zhu Yunhao finally saw some hope. His gloomy face suddenly relaxed a lot, revealing a long-lost look of ecstasy.
There was a hint of admiration in his deep eyes, with a faint deepening peach color, and his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty.
Seeing this, Du Qingwan couldn't help but get goosebumps again.
"We are not convinced! So what if she wins this round?
It was agreed to be a best-of-three series, and there are still two rounds left!
Queen Daye, I am the one who set the questions for this round. Do you dare to fight again?"
As soon as Zhu Yunhao finished speaking, Sun Shangde immediately took over the conversation, still with that arrogant attitude.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunhao suddenly became angry, and his tone became extremely cold and cold:
"Queen, you should play this game. I believe you can win."
Although his voice was deep and cold, it was directed only at the three Loulan envoys, not at Du Qingwan.
On the contrary, Zhu Yunhao's words were all full of affirmation and appreciation for Du Qingwan.
Upon hearing this, Du Qingwan's mind suddenly became confused.
[Bah! Scumbag! Dog Emperor, don’t think that I won this competition to show off and win your favor!]
[Go and dream your eternal dreams! I won’t serve you!]
Du Qingwan secretly harbored resentment and unexpectedly wanted to lose the next competition.
Her purpose was simple, it was just to divert Zhu Yunhao's attention so that she could have a peaceful life for two days.
"Reporting to His Majesty..."
Du Qingwan hesitated for a few seconds, ready to refuse.
But Zhu Yunhao seemed to have the ability to read her mind. He immediately interrupted her and began to look a little impatient:
"Okay! Queen, I believe you will not let Daye lose!
As long as you win this competition, I promise to fulfill your three requests."
Upon hearing that the Dog Emperor wanted to meet her three requests, Du Qingwan became immediately energized as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
She blinked, half believing and half doubting, and said:
"Are you serious? As long as I win the literary duel, you will grant me three wishes?"
Although Zhu Yunhao spoke in front of all the civil and military officials, Du Qingwan still held a skeptical attitude.
Zhu Yunhao was a tyrant, licentious and immoral.
His words are questionable and totally unreliable.
Thinking of this, Du Qingwan had no choice but to smile bitterly and decided to give up the challenge.
The next second, Zhu Yunhao reaffirmed his previous promise:
"You have no joke!"
Upon hearing this, Du Qingwan was stunned for several seconds.
She subconsciously tilted her head, as if she wanted to let the words that the Dog Emperor said from her left ear enter her right ear so that she could confirm them again.
