Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 37: The Lady of the Marquisate Kills the Time-Traveling Girl (12)
Emperor Shangwu looked around with a pair of shrewd eyes, and finally his gaze fell on Lu Wenbai, whom he had not seen for a long time, and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I am very pleased that Marquis Ningyuan has returned safely from Yumen Pass. I wonder if you are feeling better now?"
In order to dispel everyone's suspicion, Lu Wenbai announced to the public that he had been seriously ill for the past six years and that he had met a traveling doctor who cured him.
When he recovered his memory, he returned to the capital.
Although this excuse is full of loopholes, the old marquis has prestige, so even if someone has doubts, they won't say much.
However, it has been nearly two months since Ningyuan Hou returned to Beijing, but the emperor has not reinstated Lu Wenbai to his original position, which makes people curious about his intention.
Lu Wenbai suppressed his uneasiness, left the table and knelt in front of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I have recovered and can serve the court at any time."
Emperor Shangwu laughed heartily, obviously very satisfied with Lu Wenbo's answer.
"Very good, you are so dedicated to your duties, I naturally look forward to your early return.
In this case, starting today, Ningyuan Hou will be reinstated to his original position, with the same salary as before. In recognition of your hard work and great achievements, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold."
When Hsieh Su-wei heard that she would be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, she was extremely excited. This amount of silver was equivalent to several million in modern times!
Now that Lu Wenbai has been reinstated, the plan to drive Shi Qing away must be implemented quickly, otherwise what will happen if Shi Qing refuses to leave!
Lu Wenbai finally let go of the worries in his heart. He originally thought that the emperor had some concerns, but it seems that he was overthinking it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will obey your command."
Lu Wenbai breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the crisis in the Marquis' Mansion could be temporarily resolved.
The ministers toasted each other and congratulated Ningyuan Hou on his safe return, except for a few voices expressing their dissatisfaction with Ningyuan Hou.
Shi Qing was too lazy to socialize, so he ate snacks with Songzhi and chatted with the ministers' wives from time to time, seeming to be quite happy and relaxed.
The old lady has been staying indoors for the past few years, but she was very happy at today's banquet and chatted with her old friends.
However, she secretly said a lot of bad things about Shi Qing, especially the matter of Shi Qing returning the housekeeper power, which made the old lady very unhappy.
This is a slap in the face!
Hsieh Su-wei knows in her heart that the opportunity to join a prestigious team is not easy to come by, and today, she wants to take advantage of this opportunity to shine.
"How about we just write a poem today? If you win first place, I'll give you my Lingzhi bamboo-patterned jade hairpin and the painting by Liu Yuan, the most outstanding painter in the capital."
This reward was extraordinary, and it made some of the noble ladies who were originally unmoved want to give it a try.
The ministers drank happily, and the poems of the noble ladies served to liven up the atmosphere.
Girls of this age were mostly young ladies staying in the boudoir, and they mostly recited romantic poems or admired plum blossoms in the snow. The ministers thought it was too ordinary and didn't listen much until a voice came.
Hsieh Su-wei danced gracefully with her long sleeves, wandering among the noble ladies and reciting poems.
"Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters coming from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning? Have you not seen the sorrow of the white hair in the mirror in the hall, which was black in the morning and white in the evening..."
Hsieh Su-wei had a proud smile on her face. Although she only graduated from a third-tier university, she was familiar with poetry and songs.
This happened to be a good opportunity to travel through time and come in handy.
Of course she knew that this was not her own poem, but Li Bai's "Drinking Song".
But this is a fictional ancient time. Who can expose himself? Is it possible to find the real Li Bai?
This is not the prosperous Tang Dynasty. As long as she talks nonsense, there will still be a bunch of idiots worshipping her and treating her as the most talented woman in Xuan Kingdom.
The ministers were originally talking in low voices about Marquis Ningyuan, but now they were all amazed by the poems of the noble ladies.
Especially Emperor Shangwu, his eyes fell on Hsieh Su-wei's face with a bit of inquiry.
"If you are happy in life, you must have all the fun, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon!"
Lord Wen, the Minister of Justice, recited this poem and said with emotion, "What a beautiful poem! Life is about enjoying life while it lasts. Miss, I wonder who wrote this poem?"
Lord Wen loves poetry the most. When he has private gatherings with ministers, he usually recites elegant poems.
When I first heard that a woman could compose such a magnificent poem at the banquet, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Such literary character is not something that ordinary people can possess.
Hsieh Su-wei bowed slightly and spoke softly under everyone's expectant gaze.
"My Lords, this is a poem I wrote myself, titled 'Drinking Wine.' I am not very talented or well-educated, so I apologize for making fun of you all."
Tuanzi, who was just enjoying the show, was furious. He was Li Bai's number one fan, and this time-traveling girl actually claimed to be Li Bai's poet. He couldn't tolerate that!
"Host! We have to expose her!"
Tuanzi was madly attacking in Shi Qing's sea of consciousness, and Shi Qing sighed.
"Don't worry, Tuanzi, lies will always be exposed, it's just a matter of time."
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Or rather, you doubt my business ability?"
What a joke! She's a professional at giving slaps to people's faces! Besides, she knows the original plot.
Tuanzi shook his head decisively, of course not, it’s impossible.
"Call the host!"
The ministers began to praise Xie Shuwei without hesitation, saying that she had good attainments in poetry and that if she were a man, she would definitely achieve something in the court.
Hsieh Su-wei began to feel elated when she heard the minister's praise, and she naturally agreed with the minister's compliments.
Lu Wenbai also felt proud. His Weiwei was like a goddess, and she could compose poems and songs at will.
"He is quite talented."
Emperor Shangwu's words brought the banquet to a climax.
The ministers were thoughtful. They heard that Miss Xie was the savior of the Lu family, and now she was brought to the banquet and received praise from the emperor.
In such a big capital city, everyone will respect her from now on.
I just don't know whether the emperor is interested in Miss Xie and wants to marry her into the harem, or give her to the second prince as a concubine?
"Miss Xie can actually write such a poem. I really admire her!"
Lu Shuang'er looked at Xie Shuwei with a sudden admiration in her eyes. She didn't expect that the inconspicuous Miss Xie would make such a big splash. She would definitely be very successful in the future, and she would have to take advantage of it.
"I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge and talent, and I'm sorry for making you laugh."
And the bamboo hairpin finally fell into her hands as she wished. Looking at everyone's envious eyes, she straightened her back and felt extremely proud.
Hsieh Su-wei humbly returned to her seat, looking very respectful on the outside, but feeling very proud in her heart.
Tonight, she was the only one who attracted everyone's attention. This group of proud daughters of the capital were no more than this.
When Hsieh Su-wei took her seat, Shi Qing curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"Miss Xie, do you know Li Bai? I just heard this poem and it sounded familiar."
The smile on Hsieh Su-wei's face suddenly disappeared. She was sure that she had come to a fictional era, so she boldly used Li Bai's poems to impersonate her own.
"I don't know what Madam is trying to say. This poem was just improvised by me. Do you think that my poem is not original?"
She spoke calmly, as if someone had wrongly accused her of being a bad person.
