From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Tian Yu was quite familiar with the hairpin that Chen Shengqing was wearing today.

When she saw Tian Yu, her eyes lit up with joy. She turned around and asked, "Sister, do you think I am different today?"

"Sister, you are wearing the hairpin I gave you today." Tian Yu smiled, with unstoppable admiration in her tone.

"This jasper is indeed more suitable for a beautiful lady." That day, Chen Shengqing looked at the hairpin with fondness, and Tian Yu noticed it and gave her a hairpin of similar style.

After all, they are a family. If Chen Shengqing really enters the palace in the future, he will inevitably be a great help to the family.

The two of them chatted privately in the carriage as they headed towards Nanshan.

In the palace of Nanshan, a woman bathed and changed her clothes into gorgeous red clothes.

"Is today's flower-viewing banquet safe?" She opened her red lips slightly, her tone cold and intimidating without even getting angry.

"Everything is ready." replied the palace maid behind him.

"Then give away my first prize." After saying that, the woman stood up and walked out.

----

Tian Yu finally arrived at Nanshan. The flower-viewing banquet was held in the royal summer palace, and all the famous young talents in the capital were present.

Since the eldest princess pacified the border in this dynasty, the differences between men and women have been greatly relaxed. It is no longer difficult for women to go out, and they can even sit at the same table with men and have conversations. This trend has become more popular in recent years.

Tian Yu and his sister were led through the garden to the place where they were going to enjoy the flowers.

During this season, the peonies in Shangjing are the most gorgeous, and the gardens are filled with lively and beautiful peonies.

After the two men sat down, some women from official families who they knew came up to greet them.

Chen Sheng took a quick look at the field and said to Tian Yu, "Is that guy over there the most sought-after No. 1 scholar right now?"

"Judging from his appearance, it should be him. What do you think, sister?" Tian Yu felt that although the man looked handsome, his words and actions were not as good as his brother's.

"Although he has character, he is not as good as his brother." Chen Shengqing's thoughts were exactly the same as Tian Yu's.

Tian Yu also laughed when he heard this: "How can other people be as good as our own family?"

The flower-viewing banquet was filled with poetry, wine and singing to liven up the atmosphere, and it was extremely lively for a while. Halfway through the banquet, the eldest princess finally arrived late.

Following a shout, a figure in gorgeous red clothes walked out of the garden.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were raised with a sense of intimidation and anger, and her charming face was diluted by her dignity and grace, making her look like a gorgeous yet elegant peony.

When the people present saw the eldest princess, they all stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite. I invited you all to come and enjoy the flowers today because I wanted to make the most of the scenery. Why should I be so reserved?"

The eldest princess sat down in the main seat, and for a moment everyone became a little nervous.

After some singing and dancing, the scene returned to its previous liveliness.

At this moment, the eldest princess, who had been sitting upright and enjoying the singing and dancing with everyone, suddenly spoke.

"Just now when I came here, I heard someone reciting poems and composing essays." She spoke slowly and in a low voice, but everyone could hear every word clearly.

"I also love poetry and songs," the eldest princess smiled, "I have a prize for everyone here today, is there anyone willing to give it a try?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.

The newly crowned champion stood up first and said, "If it is the princess's bet, I am willing to give it a try no matter what!"

As soon as this statement was made, many people in the audience echoed it.

"In this case, please let us all think about the peonies in the garden today." The eldest princess smiled and gave the introduction.

For a moment, everyone was eager to try.

Tian Yu had no talent for poetry, so he could only eat some cakes with his sister and watch the excitement on the field.

The top scholar was the first to respond to the princess's request, but he was not the first person to compose a poem.

The first person to compose the poem should be the son of the Vice Minister of War.

Her poem was quite good, and drew praise from everyone present. Although nothing could be seen from the eldest princess's expression, she was still smiling.

Soon, two or three verses of poetry emerged from the crowd, and the most beautiful one was written by the daughter of a third-rank official in the Secretariat.

The eldest princess smiled even more: "It seems that there are many women in my dynasty who are knowledgeable and enter the sea."

At this point, the number one scholar finally stood up and said, "I also have a poem. I wonder if anyone here can give me some advice?"

Tian Yu was speechless. This man with such a literary look was going to be the last to appear. It seemed that he wanted to be in the spotlight on purpose.

"The top scholar's poems are of course what we are looking for." The eldest princess said.

"Then I'm sorry to show my ugliness." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the center of the banquet.

Chen Shengqing turned his head away and whispered in Tian Yu's ear: "Look at him, he is very confident."

Tian Yu smiled. It seemed that both of them found this number one scholar annoying.

When the poem was finished, the princess nodded and said: "The champion is indeed a young talent. Although this poem is about peonies, it is magnificent and majestic."

At this moment, a man suddenly said: "When men write poetry, they are naturally not bound by love."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people on the scene changed their expressions immediately, and the eldest princess also looked a little unhappy.

Tian Yu also frowned after hearing this. Although women in this dynasty had more freedom, there were still people like this.

This person's words were rather like mocking the pettiness of the poem that the eldest princess had praised before.

After hearing this, the champion was enlightened: "Poetry is about expressing emotions. What is the difference between high and low? You underestimate women's poetic talent."

This was said beautifully, but it was a bit too blunt, and the faces of the women present looked somewhat unhappy.

"If that's the case, I wonder if there is any woman who can write another poem so that the princess can see the character of women in our dynasty." This was spoken by the palace maid beside the princess.

Tian Yu savored it and felt that everyone on the stage was performing a skit.

Before she could react, she felt a gaze falling on her.

Tian Yuchao had such sharp senses that he immediately noticed that the eldest princess was looking at him.

"Oh no, it's directed at me." Tian Yu immediately understood the meaning of this gaze, but Jing was a stranger to her, so why was he staring at this place?

Tian Yu was determined to play dumb, but the situation on the field would not allow her to remain silent.

The woman whose poems were praised by the princess stood up and said, "I have a candidate for you. His talent is not inferior to that of his father and brother."

Then, the other party looked at Tian Yu.

"Me?" Tian Yu was stunned. Why were they all coming towards him today?

"In that case, call him out so I can see him." The eldest princess spoke.

As the woman spoke, Tian Yu stood up calmly and saluted in the direction of the eldest princess.

"She is the daughter of General Chen. My mentor has long admired her literary talent. I wonder if she could learn from me today?" As soon as the princess said this, Tian Yu understood.

This is the Hongmen Banquet, and it has something to do with the mentor who will be in the general's mansion in the future.

Taking a deep breath, Tian Yu indeed couldn't compose poetry, but Jing was well-read and her memory was full of poetry and songs. She knew which poems in her memory did not exist in this world.

Now that you're on the hook, you've got to do it head-on.
