Chapter 442 Poetry Contest

A few days later, Li Yong's investigation of the Imperial Concubine and the Li Concubine was still ongoing, but the Imperial Concubine obviously did not give up. She decided to take the opportunity to strike again and proposed the idea of ​​holding a flower viewing banquet.

One morning, the imperial concubine called the concubines to her bedroom for a discussion. She smiled and said, "Sisters, spring has arrived and flowers are in full bloom. It is a good time to enjoy flowers. I propose to hold a flower-viewing banquet so that everyone can enjoy this beautiful season after busy palace affairs."

The concubines all agreed and thought this proposal was very good. Although Lian Di was alert, she also expressed her support: "The Imperial Concubine's proposal is very good. The flower viewing banquet can not only relax everyone, but also enhance the relationship between us sisters."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine showed a satisfied smile on her face: "Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the specific arrangements for this flower viewing banquet."

Seeing this, Lipin smiled and said, "Sister Imperial Concubine, since this is a flower viewing banquet, why not arrange some interesting competitions at the banquet? This will not only add to the fun of the banquet, but also allow everyone to show off their talents."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine's eyes flashed with appreciation: "Sister Lipin's suggestion is very good. I also think it is a good idea to arrange some competitions at the banquet. Then, this flower viewing banquet will be jointly organized by Lian Di and Lipin. Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

The concubines all said they had no objections. Lian Di was startled, but she remained calm. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to host this flower viewing banquet."

Lipin showed a smug smile: "Sister Liandi is talented. If we work together, we will surely be able to hold this flower viewing banquet successfully."

After the meeting, Lian Di and Li Bin began to prepare for the flower viewing banquet. They gathered some trusted palace maids and eunuchs and arranged every aspect of the banquet in detail. Lian Di knew that this flower viewing banquet was not only an opportunity to show herself, but also a test to face challenges.

Lipin was mainly responsible for the arrangement of the competition. She specially designed some talent shows and fun games to make the banquet more interesting. Liandi was responsible for the overall layout and atmosphere of the banquet. She knew that only by doing every detail well could the success of the banquet be ensured.

On the day of the flower viewing banquet, the imperial garden was decorated with a new look, with flowers in full bloom and fragrance everywhere. The musicians were already ready, and the concubines arrived one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Accompanied by the Imperial Concubine, Li Yong led Lian Di and other concubines into the Imperial Garden. When he saw the carefully arranged venue, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Lian Di, Li Concubine, you have done a great job, I am very satisfied."

Lian Di and Li Concubine bowed at the same time and said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. We are just doing our best to show our appreciation."

The event officially began, the musicians played beautiful music, and the concubines gathered among the flowers to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The competition was also carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Lipin, and everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

The competition items designed by Lipin included poetry competition, painting competition and dance competition, each of which attracted the participation of many concubines. Li Yong and the imperial concubine sat aside, admiring the talent show of the concubines, with gratified smiles on their faces.

When the poetry competition began, the concubines came forward to show their talents. Lipin was the first to recite a poem describing the spring scenery, which won everyone's praise. Liandi was not to be outdone, and immediately came forward to recite a poem with profound artistic conception, which won the applause of the whole room.

In the following painting competition, the concubines showed their talents and painted beautiful flower paintings. Lipin painted a lifelike peony painting, while Liandi chose a fresh and elegant orchid painting. The two paintings had their own merits and it was difficult to tell which one was better.

The final dance competition brought the atmosphere of the entire banquet to a climax. The concubines dressed in gorgeous dance costumes and danced gracefully, showing their respective dancing talents. Lipin and Liandi led their own teams to perform carefully choreographed dances, winning applause from the whole audience.

Li Yong looked at all this, feeling relieved and satisfied. He stood up and said with a smile: "Today's flower viewing banquet was very successful. Everyone showed their talents. I am very happy."

The concubines all bowed to express their gratitude for the emperor's compliments. Seeing this, the imperial concubine smiled and said, "This flower viewing banquet is thanks to the efforts of Lian Di and Li Concubine. Everyone has worked hard."

Lian Di and Li Bin bowed at the same time and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. We are just doing our best to show our appreciation."

After the banquet, the concubines left the imperial garden one after another. Lian Di returned to her bedroom, feeling exhausted. She knew that although the flower-viewing banquet was a success, the conspiracy of the imperial concubine and Lipin had not ended, and she had to stay alert at all times.

Dong Xia saw that Lian Di looked unwell and asked with concern, "Madam, are you okay?"

Lian Di shook her head and said softly, "Dong Xia, I'm fine. Although this banquet went smoothly, I always feel that the Imperial Concubine and Lipin have another trick up their sleeve."

Dong Xia nodded to show her understanding: "Your Majesty, you must be careful. We can't let the Imperial Concubine and Lipin take advantage of it."

Lian Di smiled slightly: "Dong Xia, you are right. We must be careful and not let anyone find our flaws."

In the next few days, Lian Di continued to pay close attention to the developments in the palace to ensure that she and her loved ones were safe. Meanwhile, Gui Fei and Li Bin secretly planned a new conspiracy to try to attack Lian Di.

One day, Lian Di was walking in the imperial garden when she suddenly saw Li Bin walking towards her with several palace maids. Li Bin saw Lian Di and smiled coldly. She walked up to her and said, "Sister Lian Di, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Lian Di smiled slightly and said politely, "Sister Lipin, what's the matter?"

Lipin said coldly: "Sister Liandi, I heard that you have been investigating some rumors recently. I wonder if there is any progress?"

Lian Di knew that Lipin was testing her, so she said calmly, "Sister Lipin, the rumors are indeed disturbing, but I will do my best to find out the truth and give everyone peace."

Lipin sneered and said, "Sister Liandi, things in the palace are not that simple. You must be careful not to be taken advantage of."

Lian Di's heart trembled, knowing that Lipin's words were full of hidden meanings, but she responded calmly: "Thank you sister Lipin for your reminder, I will be careful."

Seeing this, Lipin snorted coldly and turned away. Lian Di looked at her back and felt a chill in her heart. She knew that Lipin and the Imperial Concubine were secretly plotting, and she had to be more careful to keep her position.

In the evening, Lian Di returned to the palace and decided to talk to Li Yong about the recent situation. She knew that only with the support of the emperor could she be invincible in the struggle in the harem.

Li Yong was reviewing memorials in his bedroom. When he saw Lian Di coming in, he greeted her with a smile: "Lian Di, why aren't you resting so late?"

Lian Di sat down and said softly, "Your Majesty, the recent rumors in the palace make me feel uneasy. I want to discuss it with you."

Li Yong put down the memorial, held her hand, and said gently: "Lian Di, don't worry, I am already investigating the source of these rumors, and I will definitely clear your name."

Lian Di nodded gratefully: "Your Majesty, I believe you. It's just that the fighting in the harem makes me tired. I hope to find the truth as soon as possible and restore harmony in the harem."
