As if it was agreed upon, Liu Yuan soon picked up the pen, stood on the platform, and wrote an extremely beautiful piece of calligraphy in running script, which drew applause and praise from everyone.

The poem is good, and the calligraphy is even more unique, with a great style.

Shen Zhishu was standing in the crowd and couldn't help but praise. It seemed that this person was quite capable. If they were both time travelers, he should be more knowledgeable and talented than Su Rong.

After all, Su Rong's handwriting is so ugly.

Soon, he stepped down from the stage amid everyone's praises. Other friends invited him to go out and guess riddles together, but he claimed that he would rather stay here and compete in poetry.

Shen Zhishu waited for the people around him to disperse before walking forward.

Everyone attending the poetry reading tonight wore a mask. Regardless of their identity or gender, anyone who was interested came. Moreover, this was in public, so they could maintain a normal negotiating distance and would not be criticized.

Not to mention that she also brought a maid with her.

"Mr. Liu is so talented, I wonder if this lady would be honored to invite you for a drink?"

Although she did not travel through time, she had seen Su Rong speak like this after her death. Yan Chu found it novel at the time, and she admitted in person that this was her hometown dialect.

"It's disrespectful."

She was just testing, but Liu Yuan agreed without hesitation, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Could it be that he really came from another world?

"White or red?"

She was surprised, but continued to test.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and because he was wearing half a mask, his expression was not clear.

"It's all up to the lady to make the decision."

Shen Zhishu was unable to confirm it for the moment, so he invited him to the box.

The door is also open and can be seen by passers-by. This is also a public place.

Upstairs, Su Rong saw Shen Zhishu personally bring Liu Yuan into the box, and he looked confident.

"Is this it?"

Qianyue couldn't help but exclaim.

The progress is a bit too fast.

"It's a pity that this is a public place, it's not easy to cultivate feelings."

But Su Rong felt that this was not enough. Next time, she would make good arrangements for her and make her completely fall in love with Liu Yuan.

In the box, Shen Zhishu offered hot tea again as a test.

But Liu Yuan remained indifferent. He just thanked him politely and started drinking and tasting the tea.

But it was clear that she was asking about wine. Did he not understand or did he really drink it casually?

But if he was a time traveler, and heard me asking this, shouldn't he also try to find out her origins?

Listening to him commenting on tea based on the knowledge in the book, Shen Zhishu just felt bored.

"I just heard that Master Liu has outstanding literary talent. This lady has also thought of a poem tonight and would like to ask Master Liu for advice."

"Please, ma'am."

In fact, Liu Yuan was very nervous. His sponsor asked him to try his best to win the favor of this noble lady, and he would be rewarded handsomely. He came here because he was short of money, but when his sponsor saw that the lady was a married woman, he suddenly hesitated.

"I sleep through the spring without knowing the dawn, I hear birds singing everywhere, the sound of wind and rain comes at night, I wonder how many flowers have fallen."

Then Shen Zhishu began to recall very seriously and vaguely the poem that Su Rong would recite on a dark and windy night in the future.

Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and the next second even his hands began to tremble.

Is this exciting?

Could it be that... the secret code matched?

"What a good poem! Madam, your talent is truly remarkable. However, this poem does not correspond to the situation and does not seem to be inspired by the author. But did you write it before?"

Liu Yuan's hands were trembling, and his expression was more like the enthusiasm of encountering a good poem.

There is no comparison to the disbelief and excitement of meeting fellow countrymen.

And he didn't even know?

He didn't understand a single word of all the hints.

It seems that he is not a time traveler.

But this poem was included in a collection of poems specially published after Su Rong became the queen in her previous life. Why did it appear so early, and in the mouth of someone else?

Is Liu Yuan Su Rong's man?

Then why did Liu Yuan come forward tonight? I had never heard of this person in my previous life.

"Looking at your extraordinary demeanor, you must be of high status. You are also very talented, and you don't look down on my humble background. You are willing to give me a cup of tea. I am really grateful. If you don't mind, I would like to go with you tonight to discuss poetry and guess riddles together."

He looked very excited.

But after Shen Zhishu's attempt failed, he was in a bad mood.

When she heard that he wanted to follow her, with enthusiasm and a hint of expectation in his eyes, she had a bad feeling.

Besides, how could a scholar invite a girl to go out and guess riddles together?

She remembered that when they were at the palace, Su Rong came to tell her to go out tonight.

Based on the way she treated me in her past life, I wonder if she would trip me up tonight.

Make her look bad in public and ruin her reputation?

Is Liu Yuan one of the people she has prepared?

Then, isn't it possible that the poem I just recited could have fallen into Su Rong's ears?

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Liu. Actually, I didn't write this poem. It was inspired by a friend during a spring outing. I thought it was great, so I wrote it down."

I have to distance myself from this poem first, to avoid arousing Su Rong's suspicion.

"My wife just came in from outside. I really don't like the noise of so many people. I just want to drink two cups of tea here and watch the fun. I'm afraid it will spoil Mr. Liu's leisure."

"That's fine. The poetry contest here is quite lively."

But Liu Yuan was not discouraged at all. Even though she didn't leave, he still sat there and looked at her with burning eyes, as if full of admiration.

If she sat here, with people coming and going and her maids and guards nearby, nothing would happen.

Shen Zhishu invited the people in himself, so it would be difficult to chase them away.

And Liu Yuan did not make any indecent movements.

But the stalemate didn't last long, as the waiter suddenly came with wine and snacks.

"Mr. Liu, our boss read the poem you wrote and admired your literary talent very much, so he specially ordered me to deliver the restaurant's signature wine and flower cakes. The boss also said that since Mr. Liu is in the restaurant tonight, all the food and drinks are free. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

As the waiter spoke, he placed exquisite flower cakes on the table, as well as some delicate pastries. Even the wine had a very nice name: Peach Blossom Wine.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan quickly stood up and thanked him.

"Master Liu is so talented in writing, I'm sure he will achieve great things in the future. It's my honor to serve Master Liu."

Then when the waiter left, he said something particularly flattering.

Not only do they get free food and drinks, but they are also highly respected.

Shen Zhishu watched all this quietly, as if he understood Su Rong's intention.

The method is just as despicable as in the previous life.

At that time, Mr. Huang also showed off his wealth in front of her. He was wealthy and was willing to spend 100,000 silver coins to marry a virtuous wife.

At that time, Shen Zhishu was eager for money. When he heard Mr. Huang's request, wasn't he walking into a trap?

But now, the Shen family has not declined, and she is the concubine of the prince's palace. It is impossible for her to repeat the scene like what happened to Master Huang.

So you use the story in the novels that a young lady from a noble family loves a talented poor scholar?
