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

When Bai Shaoqiu said the three words "I'm sorry for the poor performance", Mr. Si snatched the paper with the wet ink away!

Qi Shaotong and the other two who were standing not far from the tea table did not notice the ugliness of the words on the paper, nor did they know what Bai Shaoqiu had written so eloquently.

But they witnessed with their own eyes the drastic change in the expressions of the two old Confucian scholars—

Shocked at first!

Half of the text is even more shocking!

When Bai Shaoqiu put down his pen, the two old scholars' faces were flushed with excitement!

Even Zhuo and his group saw that the white beard of Mr. Fang was trembling slightly!

Of course, they were even more shocked. When they looked at Bai Shaoqiu again, they felt that this guy was no longer someone they could look up to.

At this time, the elder scholar Si actually snatched the paper away...

He didn't read what was on the paper!

He couldn't wait to take the stack of papers in front of Bai Shaoqiu, took the pen and ink, and wrote quickly, copying the text written by Bai Shaoqiu!

then,

He finally let out a long sigh!

Sign off.

He held up the paper he had copied in both hands.

With a rosy face and excited eyes, she finally spoke:

"What a wonderful piece...Lanting Preface!"

"Once this article is published, the Zhuxi Literary Society will surely become famous throughout the country, and this old man's Lanting will also be famous throughout the world!"

"Looking at the literary world of Xingguo, no, looking at the literary world of the world, the old man Xie Changchun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be ashamed to see this article, and the old fellow Zhong Wenxian of the Wensheng Academy of the Southern Chen Dynasty would also feel ashamed of himself!"

When Mr. Si said this, everyone was shocked.

Xie Changchun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was a literary giant of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

The Southern Chen Wensheng Academy is the most admired place by scholars all over the world!

And old man Wenxian is the president of Wensheng Academy, a world-recognized leader in the literary world!

Bai Shaoqiu wrote a piece called Lanting Preface, and yet it was praised so highly by the great scholar Si Lao...

Is this a bit of an exaggeration?

After all, Bai Shaoqiu is not yet eighteen years old!

If it is true, his talent is more than just three stories high!

Even the princess didn't believe it:

"It is an honor for Mr. Si that he likes Shaoqiu's article."

"But you must never praise me like that!"

"I still remember it was twenty years ago, at the Xiangshan Literary Gathering in Kyoto, Xie Changchun led twelve students from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Elder Wenxian also brought twelve disciples from the Wensheng Academy."

"That year, Jinghua Academy sent twelve students to take the exam... After three days of competition among the literary circles of the Three Kingdoms, it was ultimately decided that Wensheng Academy had the most profound foundation."

"I still remember that year the winner was Ji Chen, the chief disciple of Wensheng Academy. Sima Lue from the Eastern Jin Dynasty came in second, and Ye Shu from Xingguo came in third."

"Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Shu has become the youngest great scholar in Xingguo."

"I heard that Ji Chen's daughter, Ji Xiaoxiao, is only sixteen years old, and has already become the Saint of the Wensheng Academy... She is extremely talented, and is even more talented than her father!"

"Sima Liao...after that literary gathering, he returned to Jin and was appointed Crown Prince. He has now ascended the throne and ruled Jin for over ten years."

"Over the past decade or so, Sima Lue has asked Xie Changchun to oversee the establishment of the world-renowned Jiyuan National Academy. He has hired renowned teachers and gathered the most gifted young men from Jin to study sacred teachings, with the intention of competing with the Wensheng Academy of Southern Chen."

"We are a nation that values ​​literature, but if we talk about the pinnacle of literature... we are still far behind the Jin and Chen dynasties."

"As for Shaoqiu..."

The princess's gaze fell on Bai Shaoqiu's face. "Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. I am very happy that you have such talent."

"But you must know that the world is so big, there are always people better than you."

"Let's not even mention the Jiyuan Academy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Wensheng Academy of the Southern Chen Dynasty. Even the Jinghua Academy in our Xingguo has so many talented people, and there are countless geniuses."

"For example, Chen Chu, the last disciple of the great scholar Xiang from Jinghua Academy, is about the same age as Shaoqiu, but he is already the leader of the Four Great Talents of Kyoto!"

The princess looked at the old scholar Si again and smiled slightly:

"Young man, it's better not to raise your expectations too high."

"Could Mr. Si show me the article he wrote?"

The princess' words came from the heart and were well-intentioned.

Now I know that Bai Shaoqiu has extremely high attainments in talent and learning, but he is still a teenager after all. If he loses his compliments after being praised by Mr. Si, what if he loses his temper and really lets himself go...

If he encounters another setback, he will probably be devastated and will be forgotten by the world again.

When the great scholar Si Lao heard this, he agreed deeply with it.

He handed the paper in his hand to the princess, and when he looked at Bai Shaoqiu again, his excited expression had calmed down a lot.

"What the princess said makes sense!"

"But it's also true that my brother has great talent."

"Let's not underestimate ourselves. I believe you will win the first prize again at the Xiangshan Literary Festival next autumn and shine brightly again!"

"Lao Fang, come on, come on, you asked the question. You've already read the Lanting Preface. Now it's your turn to give your judgment on this article."

Mr. Fang looked at the princess.

The princess' eyes widened at this moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

The Princess of Zhenxi was from the Cheng family of Lin'an!

Jiangnan has been home to many talented men and women since ancient times.

Although the Lin'an Cheng family was not one of the four major clans in Xingguo, the Cheng family was also a major family in Lin'an and was very famous in Jiangnan.

This young lady from the Cheng family has been well versed in both literature and martial arts since childhood!

She studied at the famous Lin'an Academy founded by Cheng, and by the age of twelve, her name was well-known in Lin'an.

It’s not that she has great literary talent, but... her martial arts skills are very high!

This young lady from the Cheng family is a bit unruly.

She actually left Lin'an Academy and her home at the age of thirteen, taking a maid with her and carrying a sword... She was going to travel the world!

This adventure led him to Shuzhou, to Shushan, and he met Dongfang Ba!

No one knows how good the princess's martial arts skills are now, because no one has ever heard of her killing anyone.

No one knows how high this princess's literary attainments are now—

After she entered the world of martial arts, she never wrote another poem.

But at least she still has an appreciation for literature.

At this moment, she was reading the "Lanting Preface", and the expression on her face revealed her inner shock.

Only then did she realize that Mr. Si's high praise for Bai Shaoqiu... was not flattery, but... the truth!

This article is probably unparalleled in the world!

This son-in-law,

The princess took a deep breath and when she looked up, her eyes were full of joy.

Mr. Fang stroked his long beard, looked at the princess and nodded slightly, then announced loudly:

"Bai Shaoqiu entered the Lanting Pavilion and wrote the Lanting Preface."

"This article is concise and well-structured. The first part describes the scene, while the second part discusses and expresses emotions..."

"In this essay, Shaoqiu expresses his lament for the brevity of life and the fleetingness of life, while also revealing his yearning for the future and his enthusiasm for life."

"This article is fresh and simple, without any embellishment, the sentences are neat and varied, and the rhythm is harmonious and pleasant..."

"It embodies Shaoqiu's active and worldly outlook on life, forming a sharp contrast with the inaction advocated by the sage school. It provides enlightenment and deep thought, and has great literary and ideological value!"

"Therefore, I believe that this article... deserves the title of A!"

"You can enter the high pavilion and rank it as a first-class building!"

"The champion of this Zhuxi Literary Festival... Bai Shaoqiu!"
