So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

The presence of Princess Jin at Miss Meng's pre-wedding banquet for sisters really brought glory to the Meng Mansion. For a moment, the young ladies who were playing stopped and waited obediently for the greeting.

Madam Meng hurriedly arranged to rearrange the table and invited the Princess of Jin to take the seat to chat.

After everyone paid their respects to the Princess of Jin, they took their seats one by one.

At Madam Meng's signal, Meng Yufu stood up respectfully, toasted a glass of wine to the Princess of Jin, and said, "Thank you, Princess, for visiting my house. I am very honored."

Princess Jin took a sip with a smile and said, "No need to be so polite. We will all be family soon."

Then, she turned to look at Madam Meng and asked, "At the Grand Princess's Thousand-Year-Old Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet that day, I saw Miss Meng compose many poems with extraordinary talent. With such a beautiful scene, why don't you compose a poem about your daughter's upcoming marriage today to open our eyes."

Huh? Meng Yufu's brain froze on the spot, and she couldn't think of any appropriate sentence to say.

Meng Yufu secretly groaned in her heart. She didn't have any talent for writing poetry. The last time she wrote about chrysanthemums, she only prepared a few poems that she had learned in school.

Now she was totally unprepared, how could she write a few poems to report? She secretly glanced at her mother. Madam Meng also looked embarrassed, but under the gaze of the Princess of Jin, she had to watch her daughter embarrassed.

At this time, the inconspicuous Meng Yulan stood up and bowed, saying softly: "Princess, my sister is full of talent, please consider it for a moment. I am not very talented and have some feelings about getting married, so why not write a poem to start a discussion."

"Who is this lady?" Shu Rongxue nodded and asked.

"I am Meng Yulan, the second daughter of the Meng family." Meng Yulan did not dare to introduce herself as the newly named legitimate daughter, and only said that she was the second daughter.

"Well, Madam Meng is indeed a good parent. She has raised all her daughters to be so elegant and refined." Shu Rongxue said politely, "Please tell me about it."

At this time, a breeze blew by, blowing off a few early plum petals. Meng Yulan's eyes lit up and she began to chant: "The plum branches lightly brush against the morning mist, and her pretty face is filled with the feeling of waiting to be married. Her red lips slightly parted in shy silence, and she longed to spend her life with her lover."

After hearing this, everyone praised the poem for being appropriate to the situation. The Princess of Jin also smiled and nodded, expressing her satisfaction.

As a result, Meng Yufu became even more anxious and embarrassed. The time it took to write a seven-character quatrain was not enough for her to think.

Meng Yufu's face became even uglier. She gritted her teeth secretly, blaming her sister for stealing her limelight. However, under the expectation of everyone, she had to bite the bullet and stand up.

"Ahem... My little girl is showing off her ugliness." Meng Yufu cleared her throat and tried to search for the poem. Suddenly, an idea came to her and she said, "The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are spreading hatred, and the Milky Way is far away and dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. Tenderness is like water, and the good time is like a dream. I can't help but look back at the magpie bridge on the way home. If the love between two people is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?"

As soon as Meng Yufu finished speaking, everyone present was shocked, and then the ladies began to whisper to each other.

Princess Shu Rongxue of Prince Jin and Madam Meng, who were sitting in the upper seats, also changed their expressions. Meng Yufu was a little stunned by this sudden change.

"Fuer, this is a poem written by Empress Pei Tianqi Shengwen!"

When Meng Yufu heard her mother's words, she was immediately panicked. She never thought that someone had used Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge" in advance, and it turned out to be the work of Empress Yang.

She knelt down quickly, kowtowed and apologized, "I didn't know, I hope the princess will forgive me."

The Princess of Jin looked very unhappy. She said in a deep voice, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to commit treason? Especially since this is a poem given by Empress Yang to the late emperor."

Madam Meng also knelt down quickly. "Princess, please calm down. My daughter is young and ignorant. She doesn't like poetry and doesn't know the origin of poetry. Please forgive her ignorance."

The situation was a bit tense for a while. At this moment, Meng Yulan stood up again and said, "Princess, I didn't mean to offend you. I was just nervous at the moment. I just thought that Empress Pei Tianqi Shengwen's poem was just right for a girl to be married, so I recited it aloud for all the sisters to enjoy. Please forgive me this time because today is a sisters' banquet."

The Princess of Jin looked at Meng Yulan, then at Meng Yufu, whose face was filled with horror, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Meng Zhengcheng had just surrendered to Chu Yuanming. She had come here today just to show her goodwill and win him over. How could she really punish Meng Yufu?

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Forget it, get up. Considering that you two sisters are still getting married, I will not punish you this time. But you must not act so rashly in the future."

Meng Yufu and Madam Meng expressed their gratitude repeatedly as if they had been pardoned.

Meng Yufu felt mixed emotions. She had originally wanted to recite a ready-made poem to save the situation, but she didn't expect it to be so embarrassing today and she almost got into big trouble.

Xiao Yueshan was so happy when she saw this. Fortunately, she came to help Zhou Yao write poems and they were all made up by herself. Although her level was not high, at least it did not involve plagiarism.

She knew from the very beginning that there were other time travelers, especially with the big bug of Empress Yang, so when she occasionally recited a few poems, she would specifically point out that they were written by other people, for she was afraid of a situation like Meng Yufu.

The Princess of Jin brought some gifts on behalf of Chu Yuanming and the royal family to add joy to Meng Yufu's dowry box.

These gifts are dazzling, including precious jewelry, gorgeous silk clothes, exquisite antiques and utensils, etc. Each one demonstrates the royal dignity and luxury.

Meng Yufu was so delighted to see the dignified and noble gift that she even temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness of reciting the poem before.

Shu Rongxue came here specifically to deliver this huge gift. Now that he had brought the gift, he was about to leave, and everyone was seeing him off respectfully.

After the banquet was over, Meng Yufu sent all the guests back to her room. She felt that the Princess of Jin was so noble and respectable today. She thought that she should have a similar status in the future. She tried on the newly received royal jewelry and looked forward to the rich life of marrying into the palace.

Meng Zhengcheng learned about what happened at the banquet from the housekeeper. He sighed at how troublesome his daughter was and hurried to his daughter's courtyard.

"Fuer, what happened today was indeed thrilling. Fortunately, the princess did not blame you. But in the future, you should also read more poetry and books to avoid embarrassing yourself like this again."

Meng Yufu said unwillingly, "Dad, do you also think it's my fault? It was Meng Yulan who made me look bad on purpose! She knew the origin of that poem a long time ago, but she didn't remind me in time. She had to wait until I finished reciting it before she stood up to plead for me and made me feel grateful to her. She is so scheming!"

"That's enough!" Meng Zhengcheng interrupted her. "No matter what, Lan'er helped you out. You shouldn't blame her anymore. You are all daughters of the Meng family. You all prosper together and suffer together. Don't say such things again in the future!"

Meng Yufu bit her lip, still unwilling to accept it. But she knew that in this family, her father's words were the authority. She secretly decided that she must find a chance to take revenge on Meng Yulan and let her also taste the feeling of being embarrassed in public.
