The mother standing by naturally had also learned this poem when she was a child. When she saw it, she just chuckled, but had no intention of exposing her daughter.

I just didn't expect that after such a long time, although I haven't known her, her intelligence is as good as when I was a child. It turns out that my daughter is still very similar to me.

"Qingyin, now that you've finished writing it, just read it to everyone. It's okay, even if you lose, it's okay."

In fact, Xu Guoshi could see that this poem could certainly crush Qi Feixu's poem, but she still didn't want everyone to know in advance and praise her even more so that she could be criticized more severely.

As everyone held their breath in anticipation, Chu Qingyin finally began to read the piece of paper in her hand.

The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises with the tide. The shimmering waves stretch for thousands of miles, and where is the spring river without a bright moon? The river meanders around the fragrant meadows, and the moonlight shines on the flower forest like snow. Frost drifts in the sky without being noticed, and the white sand on the shore is invisible. The river and the sky are one color, without a speck of dust, and the bright moon is alone in the sky. Who first saw the moon by the river? When did the river moon first shine on people? Life has been endless from generation to generation, but the river moon remains the same year after year. I don't know for whom the river moon awaits, but I see the Yangtze River sending away the flowing water. A white cloud drifts away leisurely, and I am filled with sorrow on the green maple shore. Whose boat is this tonight? Where is the moonlit tower where I long for you? The moon on the tower lingers, alas, it shone on the dressing table of the departed. It cannot be rolled up from the jade curtain, nor can it be brushed against the laundry beater. At this moment, we see each other but cannot hear each other. I wish the moonlight could shine on you. Wild geese fly far away, the light never sees them; fish and dragons dive and form patterns in the water. Last night, I dreamed of fallen flowers in an idle pond, a pity that I haven't returned home yet, halfway through spring. The river flows, spring is about to end, the moon in the river pool sets again in the west. The setting moon sinks deep into the sea mist, the road from Jieshi to Xiaoxiang is endless. I wonder how many will ride the moon home, the falling moon shakes the emotions that fill the river trees.

This poem is very long, and Xu Qingyin recited it with great emotion. Coupled with her ethereal voice like a lark, it seemed as if everyone could see the mountain spring water rushing past them. After she finished reciting for nearly a minute, there was no sound in the audience, as if everyone was immersed in appreciating her poem.

Especially those dandies who love to pretend to be cultured. Although they are uneducated, they still have some understanding of poetry. After all, they spend so much time studying it in their daily lives.

Therefore, they immediately realized that his poem was at least 10 levels higher than Qi Fei's preface.

Now, no one said a word to those people who had admired Qi Feixu so much in the beginning.

I don’t know how long the audience was silent, but suddenly there was thunderous applause, and Qi Feixu’s face had turned the color of liver.

"No, didn't you say you've always lived in the countryside? How could you come up with such a poem? Qingyin, you're such a hidden talent, you're not even known on a normal day."

"Oh my god! Is this the kind of poetry she could write? Even though we in Yunjin rely on the imperial examination to determine the top scholar, everyone still loves writing poetry. Even the most talented male poet of the time probably can't write even one-tenth of what she can, right?"

"Who says it's not? Oh my God, I've never heard such a talented poem! This poem is enough to be passed down through the ages. Could he really have just casually written it in front of them? It's simply incredible. This kind of talent, this kind of talent is simply terrifying..."

"I never thought that Yunjin would have such a talent. As the saying goes, a hero is not judged by his birth. Although you are young and a woman, I am afraid that if those great poets knew that you could write such poems, it would be enough for them to worship you."

Even those present who didn't understand much could see that this long poem was a crushing victory over Qi Fei's preface.

Originally, she wanted to regain some face in front of Xu Qingyin by using what she was best at, but she didn't expect that the thing she was best at would be torn apart in front of her. Now she is afraid that she will become a complete joke in the capital.

Everyone below was praising the poem, but to be honest he still felt a little uneasy inside.

But Qi Feixu insisted on humiliating herself in such a matter. His intention was so obvious. How could she tolerate him stepping directly on her head? Now he continued to act like a kitten, and his appearance was really adorable:

"You are so kind! I never thought I would receive such an honor. This is just my work. I am very happy to hear it and to make you happy."

At this time, Qi Feixu could no longer maintain the smile on her face, and her expression was extremely ugly.

Many of them were usually stepped on by her. Today, because Xu Qingyin's status was too high, those noble ladies in the capital who usually had no say in front of Qi Feixu were even more speechless.

But they were so happy to see Qi Feixu being humiliated. They covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They didn't expect that he only knew how to insult others every day. They didn't expect that there would be such a day for them. Now she has stepped on a nail.

"Sister Qingyin, you are so modest. Your poem is simply unprecedented and unparalleled. It is much better than what some people have done. You are also a friendly person. I really like you."

The girl who was speaking was called Lu Lu, and her title was Princess Yongle. In a sense, she was Lu Yan's cousin, but because she was very favored by the emperor, she was given the title of princess.

Normally, she would not take the initiative to show kindness to others, and she also disliked Qi Feixu very much. However, she did not like to hang out with the group of noble ladies in the capital, so her presence was not very strong.

"Thank you for the compliment, princess."

Qi Feixu must have been utterly embarrassed. Even the princess had personally confronted her, so what could she say? Seeing her find an excuse to change clothes, she immediately left the table.

Those who used to be at odds with her were now almost dying of joy.

Seeing that Qi Feixu had left the table, it was natural to tell who was better. She didn't expect that today she just wanted to deal with this troublemaker who always caused trouble for her, but she ended up gaining the reputation of being the most talented woman in Yunjin.

But since that's the case, she might as well make the best of it. Since it has been given to her, she will of course accept it with peace of mind.

Since today was an important event for her, Xu Qingyin knew that Lu Yan was busy, so she didn't plan to call him. She just wanted to go and play with him in person after she was done with her work.

However, what Xu Qingyin didn't know was that due to the busy government affairs today, Lu Yan was unable to spare the time. He had just hurried over and heard the person he had been thinking about day and night reciting a poem on the stage.

He heard her say:

"At this time, we look at each other but don't hear each other. I hope the moonlight will shine on you."
