As soon as these words were spoken, everyone came to their senses and the direction of public opinion reversed again.

"In this case, General Bai actually had no chance to steal the questions."

"The second young lady of the Bai family is the same. She just came out of nowhere and said that General Bai stole the questions. If she has evidence, she should show it. Otherwise, isn't this deliberately slandering his reputation? And you, you were also pointing fingers at General Bai just now. Do you have evidence? If you do, show it."

"But you can't blame us for being suspicious. Isn't it said that General Bai has never received any education from an aristocratic family since he was a child? How could he understand poetry and songs?"

"You have been educated by an aristocratic family since you were young. If you can do it, go for it!"

"I, I, I can't..."

"Oh, you're talking about sacrificing your relatives for the sake of justice, but you just can't bear to see yourself being outdone."

"Since she couldn't match her status, she went to steal her elder sister's man. After she got the man back, she slandered her elder sister at the banquet. If she were my concubine's daughter, I would have beaten her to death long ago."

"That makes sense, haha..."

Bai Lian lowered his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of anger.

She had never thought that the bitch Bai Wei could really answer the poem, so she didn't find a chance to frame her to steal the test questions, but now that she had answered them, she was in a passive position.

What was going on? Why were all her expectations different from before? Yes, from the wedding night on, everything was out of her control!

Compared to Bai Lian's indignation and embarrassment, Bai Wei was in a really good mood, because just now, the mentally retarded system spoke again: "The reputation of the luck snatcher has been damaged. Congratulations to the host for regaining 1% of the zero-hour luck value. Please continue to work hard. Currently, there is 94% of the luck value left to be regained!"

After hearing what the mentally retarded system said, Bai Wei looked at Ouyang Yi with great satisfaction, her eyes full of praise and appreciation.

Tsk tsk tsk, they say that they are not afraid of god-like opponents, but they are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. This ally of mine is really a good choice! With just a few words, he helped me regain 1% of my luck. Today, I must get the title of the most talented woman in Dongqin and lock the covenant between the two of them a little more firmly!

On the other side, when Ouyang Ming asked about the assassin, Ouyang Qi's eyes flickered and he lowered his head guiltily. Concubine Wang naturally did not miss this scene and her heart skipped a beat.

Why did Qi'er want to assassinate the useless Prince Yi? What was he thinking?

But because of this, she absolutely could not allow the emperor to continue talking about the topic of assassins: "Your Majesty, we can't tell whether there is really a problem of missing a question. Why don't we cancel this part and continue with the other part?"

Ouyang Ming frowned slightly: "My beloved concubine is absolutely right."

Even though he knew that Bai Wei had no way of getting the question, if he went to great lengths to investigate just to prove her innocence, today's Spring Banquet would probably be ruined.

But Bai Wei didn't think so. After all, if the competition didn't continue, she would not be able to get the first place in poetry, and she would be accused of stealing the topic and be gossiped about by others.

Normally, she would not bother to pay attention to those naggings, but now it was different. Her reputation was closely related to her luck value, so she certainly couldn't give it up easily, not to mention... Bai Lian, the rumormonger, hadn't been punished yet!

"Your Majesty, it is actually very simple to prove that I did not steal the topic. There is no need to go to great lengths to verify anything. All you need to do is continue the poetry contest and express your feelings freely!"

After hearing this, Ouyang Ming was stunned for a moment, but his eyes soon lit up again: "Weier is really smart! The poetry competition will continue, but my topics will not be limited to those that I have already thought of."

Stealing questions means that only questions that have been prepared early in the morning will be stolen. If you speak at will, how can you steal?

Concubine Wang frowned slightly.

To be honest, she didn't believe that Bai Wei had real talent and knowledge. She had just mentioned the poetry competition again because she didn't want the emperor to ask about the assassin again. But now Bai Wei insisted on continuing the poetry competition and even said that the topic was up to her. Could it be that... she really had real talent and knowledge?

But when she thought of how Bai Wei looked so poor in front of her, not even knowing what bird's nest was, she immediately gave up the idea, thinking that she was just trying to attract attention.

After hearing this, Bai Lian felt a little uneasy, but this uneasiness faded away in an instant.

After all, she was Mr. Xue's last disciple, so she was better than Bai Wei, who was uneducated. She never believed that those poems were written by Bai Wei herself, so she felt that she was courting death by doing this.

Ouyang Yi sat there. Although he couldn't see anything, he always sat facing Bai Wei.

He knew that what she said was definitely true, but even so... it was even more different from what Jianying had told him about Bai Wei.

Could it be...that the crescent-shaped scar was also made by her on purpose?

In doubt, Ouyang Ming picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Since you are following your heart, how about this question being about wine?"

The queen smiled and said, "As long as the emperor likes it."

Concubine Wang looked at Bai Lian, her eyes full of expectation.

The emperor's original topic did not include any poetry about wine, so this was the time to test her true talent and knowledge. As Mr. Xue's last disciple, Bai Lian would not disappoint her.

Bai Lian naturally accepted the gaze and immediately began to think: Good wine, good wine, good wine...

But the more nervous he got and the more he wanted to win, the more confused his mind became, and for a moment he had no idea what to do.

Bai Wei stood there, looking at Bai Lian in front of her, and said lightly: "I was ahead of my second sister in answering the questions the last two times. It was my fault. Today, I should also show some humility and let my second sister go first. How about that?"

Bai Lian felt a little depressed when she heard this, but she soon felt relieved: "Eldest sister, you don't have to be like this. We are competing fairly. If you think of any brilliant poems, you can say it first. Of course, if you have no idea because the emperor just casually asked this question, then I don't know what to say."

How could Bai Wei be humble? She just couldn't answer the question the emperor asked for which she was not prepared. She wanted to run over and push herself forward to buy time and gain a reputation for being humble.

But she didn't know that even if she was not prepared, she could still come up with a few words casually, and even if they were not exquisite enough, they would still be right. How could she be speechless like her?

Bai Wei smiled slightly when she heard this: "In that case, then elder sister can only come first. Young sister, please don't stray from the topic of poetry, or you won't be able to write a poem."

As she had thought, Bai Lian was the one who was truly prepared. Whether it was to "repay" her for her false accusation or to regain the original owner's luck, she would not let her go easily today.

She also wanted to let everyone present appreciate the ultimate charm of China's five thousand years!

Bai Lian gritted her teeth, her heart full of anger, but she held it back because she didn't believe Bai Wei could come up with anything if she went off topic, so her words were filled with contempt and sarcasm: "Sister, please."

Bai Wei ignored her gaze and stepped forward and said, "The wine is in the luminous cup, and the pipa music is urging me to drink. Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have ever returned from the battles in history?"

As soon as the poem came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Bai Wei with eyes full of praise. Just as they were about to open their mouths to praise her, Bai Wei walked to the Fifth Prince's table, swung the wine pot in front of the Fifth Prince, took a big sip and said: "I look at the sword under the lamplight while drunk, and dream of blowing the horn in the camp. I distribute roast meat to my subordinates for eight hundred miles. Fifty strings play the sound of the frontier, and the soldiers are inspected on the battlefield in autumn!"

After saying that, he threw the wine pot heavily on the ground: "Drawing a sword to cut off the water will make it flow faster; drinking a cup to dispel sorrow will make it more sorrowful. If life is not satisfactory, I will let my hair down and go boating tomorrow!"

The wine jug broke and the wine spilled, but no one cared because everyone's attention was on Bai Wei. Three poems in a row, all in one go, every sentence is a masterpiece, what a talent!
