My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

"Your Highness, Master Bai has begun writing!"

Jiuye ran into Lanting, and after saying this, he bowed to Si Lao and Fang Lao:

"So far, there are four people who have reached the sixth test. They are Qi Shaotong from Changxing Academy, Zhuo Yixing from Changning Academy, and Qiu Shanyue from Shangling Academy."

The elder scholar Si was slightly startled: "Where is Song Zigui?"

"Sir, I heard that Song Zigui sent his father into the city for medical treatment and has not yet returned."

"Oh……"

The elder scholar Si also looked at the sky and said, "There's still a few hours until noon, so let's wait a while."

"By the way, what did Her Highness the Ninth Princess say?"

Jiuye replied:

"Her Highness said she won't come, but just tell her who the final winner is."

"……it is good."

Jiuye asked again:

"What about Mr. Bai and the other four...?"

"After Brother Bai has finished answering, please invite them to the Lanting Pavilion for tea."

"Disciple obey!"

Jiuye ran out again.

The old scholar stroked his long beard,

"Seven Leaves,"

“…Disciple is here!”

"Go get another pot of water. I want to make a pot of tea for the students entering Lanting."

"Disciple obey!"

Qiye took the kettle from the table and headed towards the waterfall. At this time, the old scholar Fang looked at the King of Zhenxi with deep meaning:

"Your Highness, we are almost at the final stage of Lanting."

"There's no doubt that Brother Bai is a man of great talent. Judging from the poem 'Fisherman's Pride, Autumn Thoughts'... Brother Bai's poem touched the heart of His Majesty."

"From this, we can see that although Brother Bai is a scholar, he also has a strong ambition deep in his heart. This is truly rare!"

"So what is the prince's attitude towards Brother Bai?"

King Dongfang Ba of Zhenxi loves the poem "Fisherman's Pride, Autumn Thoughts" very much!

This poem seems to be tailor-made for him!

But what kind of consequences will this poem bring to Bai Shaoqiu and the Prince of Zhenxi's Mansion... Judging from the current situation in the court, Mr. Si, who has lived in seclusion here for many years, may not know it, but the great scholar Mr. Fang who came from Kyoto must know it very well.

Although he now works as a teacher at Jinghua Academy, he is still unwilling in his heart.

Therefore, he had his own subjective intention when he asked this question.

But no one expected that Bai Shaoqiu's frontier poem would be so brilliant.

What he asked was what the prince's attitude was towards Bai Shaoqiu, but in fact, he was also asking about the prince's attitude towards the court.

The King of Zhenxi actually smiled slightly:

"Shaoqiu is the son-in-law bestowed by the Emperor!"

"At first, I had some misunderstandings about the Emperor, but now I understand that the Emperor is commending me..."

"Look, apart from the Emperor, no one else has noticed Shaoqiu's extraordinary qualities, right?"

"Of course, I am extremely happy to have such a good son-in-law!"

"Well... after returning to the palace, I will submit a memorial of thanks... I must thank God for this grace!"

If ordinary people heard these words, they would just think that the King of Zhenxi was happy from the bottom of his heart, but to the ears of the old scholar Fang, the taste was a little different.

The prince accepted Bai Shaoqiu as his son-in-law!

However, there was no proposal to ban the poem "Fisherman's Pride, Autumn Thoughts".

Now, very few people know about this poem. If he does not want it to be spread, he will issue a royal decree without hesitation.

At the very least, he would implicitly express his slight estrangement from Bai Shaoqiu in his words.

After all, this poem was introduced to Kyoto during the current situation, so there would definitely be someone who would use it to write an article!

It is very likely that this will be a major article that is extremely unfavorable to the royal palace!

The prince did not back off because of this!

He even had to write a memorial to the emperor...

The King of Zhenxi is still the King of Zhenxi!

Dare to do it!

I dare to take it!

The old scholar Fang bowed and said with a happy face: "Before I set out, I met with Prime Minister Qin."

"Prime Minister Qin asked me to convey a few words to His Majesty!"

The King of Zhenxi's face became serious: "Master Fang, please speak!"

"Prime Minister Qin said... I'm stuck in this quagmire, but I can probably hold on for another three to five years."

"How to break the deadlock? Follow the prince's wishes!"

"We have to forge ahead on this arduous journey, braving the wind and rain..."

"I hope the prince will keep his original intention and work for the prosperity of the country, just like making a torch into the sun!"

"There is still hope for Xingguoxu!"

The King of Zhenxi nodded slightly, but in his heart he sighed unknown to anyone.

When Mr. Si heard this, he showed a shocked expression:

"Is it that serious?"

Mr. Fang sighed and said, "The court is full of treacherous ministers, and all sorts of evil spirits are making their appearance!"

"They have destroyed the unyielding spirit of the country and broken its unyielding backbone!"

The elder scholar Si widened his eyes, pondered for three breaths, and then asked nervously:

"...Aside from Prime Minister Qin, is there no loyal minister around the Emperor?"

"Where's Fu Xiyu?"

"Where's Lou Chenkun?"

"Where's Shang Shu?"

"When I left the capital ten years ago, they were all the late emperor's most trusted ministers. The emperor has been on the throne for only six years... Has that old villain Ye Qionglou developed such arbitrariness and power to dictate government?"

Mr. Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Time is merciless...they are all old!"

"Of course there are some subjects who refuse to surrender, but they have now shut their mouths and even their eyes."

"Grand Marshal Fu Xiyu strongly advocated a war against Northern Liang, but the Emperor was displeased, saying that the Grand Marshal was old and had spent his entire life worrying about the nation's development, so he should just enjoy a peaceful life at home."

"General Lou Chenkun... the Emperor quietly retired shortly after ascending the throne. It's said that Empress Ye asked the Empress Dowager to personally speak up."

"It's not appropriate for the General's Mansion to control a large number of troops since the Emperor is already the Son of Heaven. Let's give the military power to the Grand Marshal's Mansion."

"Lou Chenkun received the Empress Dowager's order to surrender his military power and retire back to Shuzhou."

"Shang Shu, the military marquis of Xuan Jing Si, is still in Xuan Jing Si. This old fellow has been guarding the Xuan Jing Si for years, and he won't see anyone except when summoned by the Emperor or the Empress Dowager!"

"A new emperor chooses new ministers!"

"The Emperor ascended the throne and made Ye Yun his empress. The Ye clan was already powerful, and now... Ye Qionglou has been in charge of the Left Prime Minister for six years, and his power is even greater!"

"Looking at the entire imperial court, even Prime Minister Qin has to avoid his edge!"

The elder scholar Si showed an angry look on his face, but after a moment, he could only sigh helplessly:

"Three hundred years of national prosperity, ah..."

Boss Fang waved his hand and said, "You've gotten away from trouble. It's good to retire here."

"I also plan to retire after the Xiangshan Literary Festival next autumn... As for the world, neither you nor I can do anything about it. It's best for us to just sit back and watch."

"Relax and try to live a few more years to see how the world changes."

"Look, Brother Bai and the others are here."

Mr. Fang turned his head and waved at Zhang Wenqian:

"Wen Qian, quickly show me Brother Bai's last poem expressing his resolve!"

"Who is Brother Bai Shaoqiu?"

A group of five people entered Lanting.

Zhang Wenqian is in front.

He placed the four pieces of paper in front of Mr. Fang and extended his hand to invite him, "He is Bai Shaoqiu!"

Bai Shaoqiu stepped forward and bowed to the prince and princess:

"My son-in-law greets my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

The corner of his eye swept across the faces of the prince and princess. Hey, my mother-in-law is actually very happy today!

now it's right!

But what surprised Bai Shaoqiu even more was that the princess actually stood up and even supported his arms:

"Shaoqiu, not bad!"

"He's a good man, and his poetry is good too!"

"After returning, my mother-in-law sent someone to call Changying back..."

"A husband and wife should act like a husband and wife."

"From now on...you just live a good life in the Princess's Mansion!"

Bai Shaoqiu was stunned, looked up, and thought, wasn't it agreed in the agreement that they would not interfere with each other?

Didn’t we agree to go to Kyoto next autumn to try to get the emperor to revoke the imperial edict?

Why did you change your mind?

When I think of my brother-in-law's majestic appearance, and then think of spending my whole life with Dongfang Changying...

Bai Shaoqiu suddenly felt unwell.
