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

The Duke's wife couldn't help but reach out and patted He Lian'er, comforting her: "Good child, don't be sad. You are so talented, I believe you will have a good life in the future."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess also said softly, "I hereby declare that the winner of today's poetry competition is He Lian'er."

The princess then instructed a nearby maid, "Come here, bring the 100 taels of gold awarded to the winner of today's poetry competition!"

But at this moment...

"Your Highness, wait..."

The Shangshu's wife came over and looked at He Lian'er, whose eyes were slightly red, with a stern look in her eyes. "He Lian'er, can you tell me the name of the poem you just read?"

He Lian'er looked at the Shangshu's wife's somewhat cold eyes and couldn't help but shrink her neck. She had an inexplicable bad premonition in her heart.

Seeing He Lian'er like this, the Duke's wife couldn't help but think of her grandson who died at the border. Her heart softened, and she reached out to pull the Shangshu's wife. She looked at He Lian'er with a loving face and said, "Don't be afraid, child. Madam Lin is just a little anxious to know the name of your poem. Please take your time."

He Lian'er felt a little relieved after hearing this. She looked up at the inexplicably aggressive Shangshu's wife in front of her and said, "I named this poem 'Qingping Diao'. What do you think?"

He Lian'er thought that this was a poem by Li Bai, and the Shangshu's wife had never seen it before. She was just borrowing it. There was no one from the same world as her, and no one would know about it. What was there for her to be afraid of?

The princess nodded in appreciation, "That's a good name!"

The Shangshu's wife narrowed her eyes and asked sternly, "Did you write this poem yourself?"

He Lian'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she couldn't help but wonder if this Shangshu's wife knew something?

But he still pretended to be calm and asked, "Madam, what do you mean?"

"Oh! What do you mean?"

The Shangshu's wife sneered and pressed him, "He Lian'er, just tell me if you wrote this poem yourself."

Perhaps because of the presence of two heavyweight figures, the eldest princess and the Duke's wife, He Lian'er faced the questioning of the Shangshu's wife.

Although she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, she was now faced with the opportunity to gain fame and make friends with important people. How could she be willing to give it up?

therefore......

She was hoping for a lucky break, so she bravely replied, "Mrs. Lin, I wrote this poem, and all the ladies present saw it with their own eyes!"

"is it?"

The Shangshu's wife pulled out a yellowed scroll from her wide sleeves. "But I saw in an ancient book that this poem was clearly written by a man named Li Bai."

The ladies and young ladies who were watching around couldn't help but start talking about it after hearing what the Shangshu's wife said...

"Oh yes! I've seen that too."

"Yes, this is the 'Qing Ping Tiao No. 1' written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai."

"But do you know what era this Tang Dynasty is? Did we have a dynasty called the Tang Dynasty before us?"

"I don't know. Isn't this an ancient book? The Tang Dynasty should be some dynasty from a long time ago."

"That's possible. Isn't there a Su Shi from the Song Dynasty here? He must have lived a long time ago, right?"

"Come and take a look at this 'Song of the Wine'—it's so well written!"

"Yes, the poems written by these ancient people are really amazing. Why wasn't I born in the same era as them? Then I could go to them for advice when I'm stuck."

"..."

He Lian'er's face turned pale when she heard all this talk. She immediately fell to the ground, her face full of disbelief, "How...how...is this possible?"

The Shangshu's wife looked at the pale He Lian'er with a look of sarcasm, "What's impossible? You claim someone else's poem as your own. How shameless!"

As the Shangshu's wife finished speaking, the mocking voices from the people around her also came pouring in...

"Yeah, this guy is so shameless!"

"He's really a country bumpkin from a remote area. He's so shameless!"

"Yeah, so shameless!"

He Lian'er, sitting on the ground, could not hear the sarcastic remarks of the Shangshu's wife and the other ladies. At this moment, there were only two words in her mind, and that was "It's over!"

In this world, she is just an orphan. If she wants to quickly squeeze into the circle of dignitaries in this world, she can only rely on Pei Yan's amazing poems to quickly gain the favor of these ladies and daughters, and thus enter their circle.

However......

Now, the way to quickly gain recognition from these people through poetry is completely blocked. Even if she becomes Pei Yan's wife in the future, she will not be able to hold her head up among these people. What's more, if Pei Yan marries her in the future, he may be ostracized by his colleagues.

Especially now that the eldest princess is still here, if this news reaches the emperor's ears, Pei Yan may have no hope of promotion if he marries her in the future.

No!

No matter what, she could never admit that she had plagiarized other people's poems.

Thinking of this, He Lian'er stood up unwillingly, snatched the yellowed scroll from the Shangshu's wife's hand, and quickly flipped through it. She asked with her lips trembling deliberately, "Madam, where did you get this book? I didn't expect that the poems I wrote would be similar to the ones here!"

"I usually write some poems at home, but I never expected that they would appear in this book, and they were all labeled with other people's names."

He Lian'er seemed to have remembered something when she said this. She took the princess's hand and said excitedly, "Princess, please help me. I suspect someone stole the poems I wrote and compiled them into a collection, then made them look old and gave them to the ladies."

As He Lian'er spoke, she deliberately glanced in Lan Xin's direction. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she suspected that her poems had been stolen by Lan Xin and given to the ladies.

Lan Xin:............

Lan Xin was really enlightened today. It was the first time she met such a good talker. She had mastered the art of putting the blame on others to perfection!

At this moment, He Lian'er was thinking that these ancient books must have been left behind by a time traveler who came to this world a long time ago. In this era when poetry is highly sought after, she has been in the capital with Pei Yan for quite some time.

I have never heard of these poems before. I guess the Shangshu’s wife accidentally obtained a unique copy recently?

If she doesn't say it herself, no one can prove that these poems were not written by her!
