Being a princess in a world with more men than women

"Yes, girl, please!"

Xu Yuexi arrived at the right time as today was the day for the monthly poetry contest in this bookstore.

This bookstore is the largest one in Jinguan City. Not only does it have a complete range of books, it also holds two poetry competitions every month.

The poetry contest invites the dean or teacher of the most famous Jicai Academy in the city to be the judges. All scholars can participate, and the first-place scholar can be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. Excellent scholars who meet the requirements can also be admitted to the academy as an exception.

Xu Yuexi, Tang Liuqing and others followed the waiter up to the second floor. When they saw the girl appear, they all stopped and exclaimed after seeing Xu Yuexi's appearance clearly. This girl was so beautiful that she was like an elf that had fallen into the mortal world.

Tang Liuqing and Lou Moyu, who were both of outstanding appearance, and Yue Rensong were directly ignored. After all, there were many handsome scholars here.

Xu Yuexi and a few others found a seat and sat down to listen to the scholars competing in poetry.

After several rounds, a scholar named Liu Yan stood out. He only needed to win one more round to take the first place.

"In the final round, please write a poem on the title 'Yu Linglong'. The one who writes the fastest and best poem will win." said Shen Shi, president of Jicai Academy.

Yu Linglong? Isn't it plum blossom? She has memorized many ancient poems about plum blossom, and she wants to try it.

"Excuse me, can I join in?" Xu Yuexi asked.

"Excuse me, young lady, can you write poetry?"

Hearing Xu Yuexi's question, Shen Shi, the president of Jicai Academy, asked.

Men have always treated women with courtesy.

"I will," Xu Yuexi answered affirmatively.

She can recite it! But who would know if she didn't say it? Suddenly Xu Yuexi wanted to try the feeling of pretending.

All the scholars present were surprised to hear Xu Yuexi's answer.

Nowadays, few women can read and write, let alone compose poetry.

"In that case, please go in, lady." Shen Shi said.

Shen Shi didn't have much hope. How could a woman nowadays write poetry? But seeing that the girl looked eager to try, he couldn't refuse her, so he let her have a try.

Xu Yuexi thought about the ancient poem about plum blossoms that she had memorized in her previous life, and then she wrote down:

"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone.

I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance coming. "

"The plum blossoms and snow are fighting for spring and are unwilling to give in. The poets put down their pens and stop commenting.

The plum blossoms are three cents whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms. "

"All the flowers are swaying and blooming alone, occupying the small garden with all the charm.

Shuying horizontally and shallow water, subtle fragrance floating moon dusk.

Frostbirds want to steal their eyes first, and the white butterflies are like knowing and breaking their souls.

Fortunately, there is a micro-chant to meet each other, and there is no need for sandalwood boards to share gold bottles. "

Because Xu Yuexi is a woman, and there are very few women who can write poetry!

In addition, Xu Yuexi has always been polite to others, so as soon as she finished writing the poem, the waiter handed it to Dean Shen Shi.

When Shen Shi took it and looked at it, he was surprised. The calligraphy on the hairpin was really good. It was small and exquisite, with a beautiful shape, and it had a fairy-like beauty.

Looking at this poem again, it is wonderful! I never thought there could be such a talented woman!

Shen Shi directly announced Xu Yuexi as the leader.

"Dean, we haven't even finished this yet, and you've declared her the winner. That's not fair."

"That is, you can't favor her just because she is a woman."

"Everyone knows that women nowadays are not good at writing, so how could she write poetry? Could she be cheating?"

"..."

Dean Shen Shi's approach was opposed by most poetry scholars. In their minds, women are supposed to serve their husbands at home, so how could they write poetry?

They even suspected that the dean was attracted by the woman's beauty and said something nonsense on purpose to win her favor.

Shen Shi was so angry at the troublemakers led by Liu Yan that his chest ached, but he also knew that his approach was biased.

So Dean Shen suppressed his anger, waited until all the participating scholars had finished writing their poems, and after reading them one by one, he announced Xu Yuexi as the winner.

He read out the poem written by Xu Yuexi.

“Miss Xu was able to write three poems in such a short time. She won in terms of quantity alone.

Besides, her poems perfectly describe Yu Linglong's elegant and graceful temperament, noble and dignified character, and lonely and elegant demeanor from every aspect.

Isn't such a poem worthy of being the best? "

After listening to the poems written by Xu Yuexi, the scholars had to admit that she wrote very well.

They didn't expect that this woman was not only beautiful but also so talented.

Listening to the praises from the crowd, Xu Yuexi still had a stern face. She was just a narrator, the real poet was the real hero.

However, there was a discordant voice that made Xu Yuexi very unhappy. This person is too narrow-minded!

In that case, don't blame her for not giving him face.

"You look down on women?"
