I just want to die of old age

The other young ladies couldn’t believe it, their eyes widened, and they stretched their necks curiously, wanting to come and see.

They didn't believe that Su Yuzhu could write any good poems, after all, she had only been there for a short time.

The eldest princess knew that everyone would not believe it, so she recited it aloud, every word precious.

They usually boasted of themselves as talented women, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and looked down on Su Yuzhu. They did not expect that she could write such a stunning poem.

The brush in Guo Shaojie's hand fell onto the paper, and the black ink stained the white paper. He muttered to himself, frowning and saying with red eyes, "It's impossible. How can a woman who doesn't know how to write poems?"

He shook his head violently in disbelief. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and his eyes lit up as he said, "This poem must not have been written by her. She must have plagiarized it."

When I said this, everyone started talking about it. They all thought it made sense and looked at me with suspicion.

I glanced at them with sharp eyes, and said with a slight curl of my lips: "You said I plagiarized, where is the evidence? Besides, the questions were set by the eldest princess herself, do you doubt...?"

After hearing this, the whole place fell silent, so peaceful that there seemed to be no sound at all.

At this time, the eldest princess also spoke up, frowning, and said majestically: "How dare you! Do you suspect that I told her the question in advance?"

Guo Shaojie's legs trembled slightly, and he knelt down and kowtowed to admit his fault: "I dare not, I hope the princess will forgive me."

Criticizing members of the royal family is a capital crime, and he was extremely afraid.

At this moment, applause broke out, and at the same time, a burst of hearty laughter came.

“I didn’t expect to see such a wonderful scene when I came to my aunt’s house today.”

I saw a young man in golden clothes, standing in the front, in his prime, followed by several equally young men.

"Greetings to the prince. May you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Everyone present bowed respectfully.

His temperament is innate, gentle and elegant, yet he still has the demeanor of a prince.

His eyes were as glittering as black glass, and his eyebrows were dignified. The golden sunlight made his handsome face particularly dazzling. He was wearing a golden-colored garment embroidered with purple pythons, which made him look noble and elegant, and his upper body exuded a special aristocratic atmosphere.

Almost all of the young ladies, upon seeing the prince's handsome face and noble temperament, showed shyness in their eyes and began to adjust their clothes with their hands.

They rarely saw the prince in person and did not expect him to be so handsome.

What they didn't expect was that the prince would be here today. For them, this was a good opportunity. Many women present wanted to win the prince's favor and become a phoenix.

Su Mingyu had a shy expression on her face, her face flushed red, and she looked very pretty.

Prince Li Ruochen picked up my calligraphy work, his eyes showed admiration, his mouth corners raised, and he said in a low voice: "As expected, a tiger father will have a dog daughter. You write good calligraphy, and your handwriting reflects your personality. It can be seen that you act uprightly and clearly distinguish between love and hate."

I bowed respectfully and said modestly, "I am not well-trained and cannot compare with the talented women present here."

I am still very self-aware. After all, what Guo Shaojie said about that poem was right. I did plagiarize our historical predecessors.

But people like me who traveled through time from the 21st century know Tang poems, but I can't compose poems, I can only copy them.

Even if we write poetry, we can only write doggerel and we don't have any poetic talent.

Seeing how modest I was, Crown Prince Li Ruochen nodded silently, "You are humble and polite, that's very good."

Princess Li Chunle raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a gentle smile: "How come the prince has time to come to my house today?"

"I heard that my aunt was having a poetry gathering, so I came over to join in the fun." Crown Prince Li Ruochen looked around with a smile, then glanced down at Guo Shaojie who was kneeling. "The Minister of War is indeed very busy with official duties and cannot take care of his children's education."

When Guo Shaojie heard this, his whole body trembled, a chill came over his heart, his head felt dizzy, and he kept kowtowing: "I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."

At this moment, I felt the power of the imperial authority of this era, and a chill came over my heart. In ancient times, human life was the least valuable thing.

After all, the imperial power is above you. You may be in power and look majestic in one second, but you may fall to the bottom and lose your life in the next second.

Seeing this scene, I secretly warned myself to be careful and not be too impulsive.

Crown Prince Li Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, "For the sake of your father, the Minister of War, I will spare you this time, but it will not happen again. You will return home and reflect on yourself for a month."

He turned around and faced the eldest princess, Li Chunle, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Aunt, I have stepped over your authority to handle this matter. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

Princess Li Chunle was delighted to see that her favorite nephew was becoming more and more like a prince.

"Just do as the prince says."

This matter passed in time, but the entire poetry gathering became more and more lively with the arrival of the prince.

Su Mingyu's face darkened. After all, she had witnessed the prince's admiration for Su Yuzhu just now, and she was worried that Su Yuzhu would become a stumbling block.

Moreover, she didn't expect that Su Yuzhu was so outstanding and would really affect her status in the Marquis' Mansion.

Su Mingyu revealed a hatred in her heart and became more and more repulsed by Su Yuzhu's existence.

After the prince arrived, I had been paying attention to Su Mingyu's emotions, and sure enough, I saw the hatred that she inadvertently revealed.

I was secretly on guard in my heart. As expected, with Su Mingyu's lofty ambitions, she must want to become the Crown Princess, or even the future Queen.

But in the end, Su Mingyu did not marry the prince, but instead married the third prince Li Ruojia, who became the ultimate winner.

It was indeed a pity that the prince accidentally contracted the disease while dealing with the Wenzhou plague and died young.

After all, the prince received formal royal education, has prestige and skills, and is a compassionate and polite person.

In the end, such an outstanding prince still lost to the protagonist's halo.

I can't let Su Mingyu succeed, otherwise if she really gets in touch with the third prince Li Ruojia, I'll be in trouble.

My ending will probably be even more miserable than my previous life. After all, Su Mingyu’s hostility towards me can no longer be hidden.

The whole poetry gathering then reached its climax, with many talented women coming on stage to present their poems and songs.

Show your best side in front of the prince. Besides, today not only the prince is coming, but also other princes and sons of the royal family.
