I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a civil official slowly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, bowed, and began to write a poem.

"Alas, there is the beauty of a garden, lying in the depths of the Western Hills, wandering around orchids and osmanthus trees, with green waters dancing!"

……

As soon as the poem came out, all the scholars and poets in the hall, including princes and ministers, praised it as a good poem.

The emperor praised: "It is indeed a good poem to praise the beauty of the garden, but it cannot be called a quatrain. Which of you would like to recite it?"

Then, in the hall, some civil officials, including military generals, came forward one after another, speaking eloquently, reciting poems or folk songs they had prepared to please the emperor.

Princess Danyang naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.

So she asked her close ministers Liu Qin and Lin Chen if they had any good poems.

Liu Qin came to the princess's ear and said a few words casually.

But as soon as he uttered the words, the princess felt unhappy and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

Because, in the eyes of Princess Danyang, his words were completely vulgar and not worthy of being displayed on public display.

"Princess, I have a poem. I guarantee that if you tell me, no one will be able to come up with the right one!"

Lin Chen came up to the princess and said.

Liu Qin, however, looked disdainful and thought he was bragging.

Lin Chen was too lazy to care about the other party.

He immediately came to Princess Danyang's ear and whispered.

After listening to it briefly, the princess was shocked.

The pupils shrank sharply.

"No problem, Princess, just say so!"

Lin Chen instructed.

The princess nodded, and then came to the center of the hall with a nervous mood.

This sudden scene startled the emperor in front of him.

He later said with interest, "Would Danyang like to sing a song too?"

Before the latter could answer, the prince next to him became restless.

He taunted her, "Sister, what the emperor wants to hear is a quatrain, not some folk ballad. Don't just make up a couple of lines to fool people.

The princess ignored him.

She then stood up and recited the poem that Lin Chen had just taught her in front of everyone.

"The wind is strong and the sky is high, the monkeys are howling sadly, and the white birds are flying back to the clear sand!"

"The fallen leaves rustle in the sky, while the endless Yangtze River rolls on!"

"A long and sad autumn, a guest thousands of miles away, a hundred years of illness, alone on stage!"

"Hardship and bitterness have turned my hair into frost, and I have just put down my muddy wine cup!"

……

As soon as the poem was finished, all the literati, poets, princes and ministers in the hall started to applaud unconsciously.

"What a wonderful poem! It truly deserves to be called a quatrain!"

"Especially the last two lines, 'A long journey in sorrowful autumn, a solitary guest on stage after a hundred years of illness,' they really say everything I've wanted to say for decades!"

Many ministers were discussing this.

Even the emperor looked at Princess Danyang with a strange look after hearing this poem.

It was as if this poem was not something she could write at all.

As for the prince, although he did not say anything, his eyes at this moment seemed to be able to kill.

At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and no one in the entire hall dared to speak.

Later, the emperor broke the awkward situation and said, "This poem can indeed be called a quatrain, but did you write it?"

A doubtful voice sounded, and Lin Chen in the distance suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

If I had known what happened just now, I would have just recited a poem for the princess.

This poem by Xin Qiji can be regarded as a quatrain no matter which dynasty it was written in.

However, this poem was written by a girl in her twenties, and probably few people present would believe it.

The prince then said, "I don't think this poem was written by her. Maybe she plagiarized it!"

As soon as the words fell out of his mouth, everyone in the hall started talking. Many people also felt that this poem must not have been written by Princess Danyang, after all, the latter was too young.

It is totally inconsistent with the mood in the poem where a man who has been ill for a hundred years appears alone on the stage.

When the princess heard these words, she immediately asked the prince beside her, "If I can write another poem, can it prove that the one I wrote before was not plagiarized?"

Before the Crown Prince could continue speaking, the Princess walked to the side of the main hall, drank a glass of wine, and then said with emotion: "I climbed the west tower alone without saying a word. The moon was like a hook. The lonely wutong tree in the deep courtyard locked me in the clear autumn!"

"It is the sorrow of separation that cannot be cut off or sorted out, and it leaves a special feeling in my heart!"

After the poem was recited, the entire hall fell silent.

Especially the civil officials, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Even the emperor, who had just picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, was stunned by the sudden lyrics.

The puzzled little eyes kept glancing at the princess, always feeling that there was something strange.

As for the prince, his face was ferocious at this time.

All the facial features were twisted together one after another.

He was angry.

He also didn't expect that the latter could actually write another poem.

Moreover, this song, compared with the previous one, can be called a quatrain.

"I wonder if the prince has anything else to say now?!"

The princess smiled slightly.

In fact, this poem was also recited to her by Lin Chen just now.

Just in case, worried that some people might cause trouble.

The prince was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

He threw the cup and the wine to the ground.

At this time the emperor finally spoke.

He first applauded, and then commented on the poem the latter had recited earlier.

"Silently ascending the west tower, she laments separation. It's clear the princess has been very depressed these days, otherwise how could she have written such a poem!"

"Since your poem is so good, shouldn't I give you a reward?"

"How about this? The situation at the border is tense right now. Although the food problem has been solved, there are too many rebels. If this continues, even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties!"

"Just think about how to suppress the border rebels in a short period of time. I'll give you a month!"

"When you've made up your mind, reply to me immediately!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall fell silent.

All the ministers understood that the war at the front was tense, and the emperor wanted the princess to think of a way to calm the war at the front.

Reward is just an excuse.

The prince standing by laughed out loud.

He knew that if the latter didn't handle this matter properly, he would get into big trouble.

By then, the other party will lose the emperor's trust, and he will be the one who calls the shots in the future of the Qin State.

Princess Danyang didn't expect this either.

I just recited two poems casually, but the emperor wanted me to find a way to quell the rebellion at the border myself.

Just when she was hesitating and wavering, Lin Chen next to her nodded, indicating that she could take it first.

As for this matter, he will figure it out.

Seeing this, the princess had no choice but to agree.

"Yes!"

The princess bowed briefly and returned to her seat. Even the emperor frowned at this moment.

He didn't expect that the latter would actually dare to take over.

After all, this involves war and cannot be taken lightly.
