Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Xie Yu became interested when he heard it.

"Xi'er, this idea is indeed a good one. If any of you concubines want to participate, please come forward and try it out."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Gao Chengli stepped forward from behind him.

emperor"

Xie Yu whispered a few words, and then Gao Cheng turned and left.

Others were guessing that the emperor must have asked Eunuch Gao to prepare the reward.

After a while, Gao Cheng came back with a tray.

Chen Xier joked, "Your Majesty, what good things have you prepared? Don't keep the sisters waiting. Let Eunuch Gao take it up and see."

Xie Yu nodded, and Gao Chengli immediately lifted the red cloth, only to see a transparent jade pendant made of jasper placed in the middle. One could tell it was top quality just by looking at its color.

Xie Yu said, "Today, whichever concubine wins the first prize, I will give her this jade pendant."

Everyone in the harem was eager to try, and rewards were secondary.

If you can come out on top, you will definitely win some favor from the emperor.

Among the crowd below, only Chen Mi seemed to have no intention of joining in.

Others were eager to be the first to stand up and show themselves so that Xie Yuduo could take a closer look.

Lin Junxue raised the corners of her eyes slightly, with a look of indifference in her eyes.

Writing poetry with wine?

This Chen Xier probably didn't just act on impulse, but had already made preparations.

Chen Xier was planning to use her talent to steal the show once again at the flower viewing banquet.

Lin Junxue was not wrong. Chen Xier had made preparations two days ago and even asked someone to write a poem with the theme of "wine".

for the rest of the time

Except for Chen Mi who did not come forward to write a poem, even Sun Manrou, the daughter of a military commander, went up to write a poem.

Concubine Yue, Concubine Wu, Concubine Sun, Concubine Shen, more than 20 people all wrote poems.

Among them, Shen Huachun's poem was the most amazing and became a big hit. Even Xie Yu thought that hers was the best.

When everyone had finished their poems, Chen Xier stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think Concubine Shen's poem is the best. What do you think?"

Shen Huachun stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not say that my poem is the best. The Imperial Concubine has not yet written a poem. It would be a pity if the flower viewing banquet lacked the Imperial Concubine's poem."

Xie Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, since you mentioned it, Xier, I'll write one too."

Chen Xier quickly smiled with a surprised expression.

"Your Majesty, I'll let it go."

Sun Manrou saw that Chen Xier and Shen Huachun were singing the same tune and pretending to be

She whispered to Chen Mi beside her, "Imperial Concubine Xi is good at pretending. I just can't stand her behavior, but the emperor just loves it."

Xie Yu smiled and said, "Xi'er, don't refuse."

Chen Xier nodded reluctantly and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he began to recite the poem that he had prepared long ago.

The more Xie Yu listened, the more satisfied he became. The other concubines had mixed feelings. This poem seemed to be the winner.

As an emperor, Xie Yu naturally admired talented women besides their appearance.

When other concubines heard the poem written by Chen Xier, they knew that their work was hopeless.

Even Shen Huachun, who was originally going to win the first prize, felt a little regretful when he saw Xie Yu's appreciation for Chen Xier's poem.

However, she finally felt a little relieved when she thought that after today, she would be able to stand on the side of Concubine Xi.

After Chen Xier finished reading, the first thing she did was to look at Lin Junxue, who had been sitting there the entire time and had not spoken a word since the beginning of the banquet except for drinking tea and eating snacks. A hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

Wait, even if Lin Junxue wrote a poem, it would definitely not be better than this one.

Lin Junxue prides herself on being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood.

But if the poem I write at today's flower-viewing banquet is not as good as hers, it would be a great loss of face. How would Lin Junxue still have the dignity she deserves?

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Good poem, Xi'er's poem is really good."

Chen Xier smiled modestly and bowed to Xie Yu.

"Your Majesty, I just wrote this poem casually. All the sisters know that the Queen is the most talented. Today, I would like to ask you to write a poem to add luster to this flower viewing banquet. I wonder if you are willing?"

When Sun Manrou heard this, she certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity to embarrass Lin Junxue.

After all, she also believed that no matter how good Lin Junxue's poems were, they would not be better than Chen Xier's.

Sun Manrou smiled and said, "Yes, Concubine Xi is right. Everyone in the harem knows that the Queen is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Today, all the sisters are here, so the Queen will write a poem to open our eyes."

Lin Junxue had been sitting there quietly from the beginning, with her chin slightly raised, and her clear, dark eyes were extremely calm.

She listened to what Chen Xier and Sun Manrou said without any ripples.

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Junxue, and Xie Yu also turned his head

At the beginning of the banquet, he deliberately ignored Lin Junxue and kept drinking and chatting with Xier and other concubines, just to make Xier feel better.

Although he had feelings for Lin Junxue, he still loved Xier the most.

Xie Yu was relieved to see that Lin Junxue did not show any dissatisfaction.

"In that case, the Queen will compose a poem."

Xie Yu did not even ask Lin Junxue for her opinion and directly asked her to write a poem.

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu and the others without panic or dissatisfaction, smiled slightly, and remained calm.

Writing poetry? She wasn't very good at it, but it was enough that the great poet Li could.

If it were any other topic, perhaps she would have to think about the 300 poems she had learned during the nine years of compulsory education, but writing poems on the theme of wine was much easier.

Discussing poetry over wine? Who can compare with Li Daxianren, this cheating artifact and super plug-in!

Ha ha……

The smile on Lin Junxue's lips seemed forced to Chen Xier, and she was about to speak.

Lin Junxue slowly said, "Your Majesty, I will show you my ugliness."

Everyone understood what was happening. Did the Queen want to compose a poem right away without even thinking about it?

Next second

Everyone knew that it was indeed the case.

Lin Junxue picked up the wine glass on the table, but did not drink it, and her eyes were focused.

That face was captivating at the moment, and suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.

Lin Junxue spoke

“Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns? Have you not seen the white hair in the mirror of your parents’ hall, which was black in the morning and turned white in the evening? When life is happy, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don’t let the golden cup face the moon in vain. I was born with talents that will be useful, and I will get them back even if I spend all my money.”

Following Lin Junxue's rhythmic voice, he slowly recited the poem.

Everyone's expressions changed. Even Xie Yu, who had originally not cared, now had a deeper and deeper look in his eyes, and was extremely shocked in his heart.

What a great saying that I was born to be useful, even if I lose all my money I can get it back.

With such heroic spirit and unrestrained spirit, how could Lin Junxue write a poem with such a broad mind?

At this moment, Xie Yu once again recognized Lin Junxue's talent.

He was deeply shocked. At this moment, it seemed as if he had never known such a Lin Junxue?

Chen Xier and Sun Manrou sat in their seats, their expressions more complicated and stiff than each other.

In just a few seconds, so many different emotions flashed across everyone's faces.

At this moment, Chen Xier was really a little panicked, especially when she saw Xie Yu's eyes full of admiration.

How can it be?

Lin Junxue actually came up with such a quatrain in such a short time?
