Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder She Wants to Be a Vicious Female Supporting Role

As the initiator of the poetry competition, the eldest princess did not refuse and started first.

The princess thought of her deceased lover, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart. After pondering for a moment, she opened her red lips and slowly said:

"Flowers are in full bloom on the intertwined branches, yet the jealous wind and rain urge them to come."

"I wish the Blue Emperor would always be my master, and not allow him to paint the green moss with his lush greenery."

When the eldest princess recited this poem, her voice was melodious and contained a hint of sadness. One could tell that she was mourning the beautiful love that had passed away!

"Princess?"

Seeing the tears on the eldest princess's face, the Duke's wife couldn't help but look at her with some worry.

The eldest princess took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears that flowed unconsciously from her face due to sadness. She smiled and said, "I am fine."

When the others saw that the princess was indeed fine, they all began to praise her.

"Princess, your poem is really good!"

"Yes! I also think your poem is truly amazing, Princess!"

"Princess, I think based on your poem, you are the undisputed winner this time!"

"I think so too. After the princess said this poem, I think we should just admit defeat."

"..."

Listening to the various compliments from the crowd, the eldest princess paused slightly with her handkerchief in her hand. She had never thought before that everyone might deliberately hide their abilities because of her. How could everyone have fun like that?

Thinking of this, the eldest princess raised her eyes and glanced at the ladies present. She spoke with dignity, "All of you should show your true level. Don't be perfunctory just because of me. The poems I wrote will not be included in the selection of the top poet. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I will obey His Highness's order!"

All the ladies responded.

Then...

Everyone then began to compose poems one after another. All those present were wives and daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles, and most of them could read and write. Although most of the poems they wrote were not very amazing, they were passable. No one chose to punish themselves by drinking a cup because they could not compose a poem.

During this period, Lan Xin also wrote a poem. Although it was not as good as those famous poems that appeared in modern times, it was still very outstanding among the noble ladies here, and it attracted unanimous applause from everyone.

"Mrs. Pei, I didn't expect your poem to be so good!"

"It seems that today only Madam Pei's poem can compare with the princess's."

"I think the champion of today's poetry gathering must be Madam Pei!"

"I think so too. Madam Pei couldn't see it. I didn't expect you to be such a talented woman!"

"Yes! I think that after today, the title of the most talented woman in the capital will probably fall on Madam Pei."

"..."

Perhaps influenced by the preferences of those in power, people in this world have a special fondness for those who are good at poetry.

This is true for both high-ranking officials and ordinary people. People like to admire poets or lyricists whose words can amaze everyone. In their eyes, such people are rare talents.

In her previous life, He Lian'er had a very high reputation among the people because of her often amazing poems. At one point, people thought that Pei Yan, who had been conferred the title of Marquis at that time, was marrying above his station by marrying her.

This is not...

Originally, the ladies present did not look down on Lan Xin because she came from a merchant family, but they were not very enthusiastic towards her either. However, as soon as Lan Xin uttered the poem, the ladies became more favorable towards her. If the eldest princess had not been present, they would have come up to her and tried to get close to her.

The eldest princess, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded in satisfaction after listening to Lan Xin's poem and praised her, "This lady's poem is indeed good!"

When Lan Xin heard the eldest princess's praise, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment!"

He Lian'er, who was sitting next to Lan Xin, saw everyone praising Lan Xin, even the high and mighty eldest princess praised Lan Xin, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Isn't it premature to say that Lan Xin is the champion of this poetry competition even though the competition hasn't even finished yet?"

He Lian'er looked at the ladies present with a smile, interrupting everyone's praise.

Ladies and young ladies present: ............

Looking at He Lian'er's unfamiliar face, everyone didn't know which family she was from.

He Lian'er was in a bad mood at the moment. She didn't care about the occasion and spoke much louder than usual. The eldest princess, who was sitting in the main seat, heard her and couldn't help but raise her voice to ask, "Is there anyone else who hasn't written a poem?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, "No, we all did it!"

At this time...

"Your Highness, I haven't written a poem yet!"

He Lian'er, who was sitting in the corner, stood up, looked at the eldest princess sitting in the main seat, and spoke anxiously.

If He Lian'er hadn't stood up, everyone would have thought she was a maid brought by Lan Xin. Pei Yan's official position was really not enough compared to the ladies present, whether their husbands or fathers, so naturally he could only sit in the corner.

Moreover, unlike her previous life when her original self took good care of He Lian'er, in this life, because Lan Xin did not find the maid in charge of the banquet in advance to explain the situation, He Lian'er did not sit in the seat specially added next to Lan Xin, so she could only sit in the seat behind Lan Xin where the maids rested.

The princess frowned as she looked at He Lian'er standing up, feeling a little unhappy in her heart. However, her good manners prevented her from embarrassing He Lian'er, who was eager to show off. Instead, she said calmly, "Since you want to participate in the poetry competition, why not write one now and let's see."

He Lian'er stood up straight, looked at Lan Xin with disdain, and said slowly:

"Clouds think about clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold of Revlon."

"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai."

As soon as He Lian'er finished her poem, the surroundings fell into deathly silence.

"well!"

"What a poem!"

The eldest princess was so excited that she couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, "What a wonderful thing! If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."

The princess stood up and walked towards He Lian'er. She took her hand and praised her, "What's your name? Whose family are you from? You can actually write such an amazing poem!"

"I......"

Seeing the graceful and elegant princess actually reaching out to hold her hand, He Lian'er was inevitably a little flattered. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I am a distant cousin of General Pei's family. My name is He Lian'er."

"General Pei?"

The eldest princess was a little confused when she heard this.

The Duke's wife, who was walking over with the eldest princess, continued, "The General Pei that Miss He is talking about is Pei Yan, right?"

He Lian'er nodded. "Yes, I am Pei Yan's distant cousin. I am the only one left in my family, so I am currently staying at my cousin's house."

As He Lian'er spoke, she pretended to take out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her eyes, which made the Duke's wife, who had just lost her son, feel sad.
