If they had done this earlier, why would I have held this poetry competition?"

At the end, Jiang Er snorted disdainfully, but inwardly he was thinking happily: It seems this poetry competition is really a good idea! It can not only make money, but also severely irritate those hypocrites! We can hold it more often in the future!

Xie Xiu looked at the beautiful handwriting on the paper, as well as the three characters "Cao Ziqing", and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "This Cao Ziqing, I'm afraid it's that Madam Cao."

Jiang Er was stunned when he heard this: "Which Madam Cao are you talking about?"

Xie Xiu looked at him with a half-smile: "Of course it's the most famous lady Cao in Gusu right now."

Jiang Er's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you talking about... the Lady Cao who was snatched away by Chen Shao to be his wife?"

Xie Xiu smiled and said, "Apart from her, I'm afraid there's no other woman from the Cao family who would dare to participate in such a competition."

Jiang Er rubbed his chin, feeling troubled for a long time. He then carefully looked at the seven-character quatrain. He really couldn't bear to hide such a good poem, so he sighed and said, "Although her identity is a bit troublesome, it's just a poetry competition. It shouldn't matter, right?"

Xie Xiu knew what he was worried about, but he still said, "Even His Majesty has praised her loyalty, so why should you worry?"

Jiang Er was immediately convinced, so he said affirmatively: "You are right, and it is a pity to eliminate such a good poem!"

Why did he come to Gusu?

Why did the Jiang family donate so much money to build a school?

Isn’t it just to give Concubine Jiang a good reputation?

This poem is very well written. Once it is posted, it will surely spread quickly and help Concubine Jiang gain fame.

How could he give up such a great opportunity just because of that troublesome Chen Shao?

Even if Cao Wanning was the wife that Chen Shao robbed, and she gave birth to a son for him, so what?

Emperor Taihe pardoned the mother and son, so what else did he have to worry about?

Anyway, Cao Wanning's son is still very young. Even if the kid has other intentions, it will take more than ten years for him to grow up and cause trouble.

By that time, his sister would have become the queen, and his nephew would have grown up to become the crown prince.

Even if someone remembered this poem, would it affect his sister's status?

Jiang Er figured this out and decided to meet Cao Wanning.

So after he returned, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Cao Wanning, asking her to meet him.

Cao Wanning had always wanted to curry favor with him, so seeing that he took the initiative to invite her, she naturally would not refuse.

So the two of them met secretly soon. Jiang Er made a special test to confirm that Cao Wanning had no intention of causing trouble, so he planned to help her and let her enter the finals.

In exchange, Cao Wanning also needed to continue writing poems and essays to praise Concubine Jiang and the eldest princess, and help Concubine Jiang become famous.

Cao Wanning agreed very readily.

She was eager to cling to the golden thighs of Concubine Jiang and the eldest princess, so how could she refuse?

So next, Jiang Er started to promote the event.

He was not stupid. Ever since he listened to Xie Xiu's advice and organized this poetry competition, he knew how to build momentum and use this competition to gain more benefits.

For him, whether it is the money earned from rewards or the selection of outstanding talents through this competition, it is still secondary.

The most important thing is to use this competition to win a good reputation for Concubine Jiang!

Therefore, Cao Wanning's poem can be said to have touched his heart.

After the poem was made public, Jiang Er not only secretly sent people to spend money to vote, but also asked people to sing the poem.

As a result, this poem spread throughout Gusu at the fastest speed and continued to spread outward.

This caused a lot of discussion among the people in Gusu.

Those literati who were already dissatisfied with Concubine Jiang were even more annoyed!

Some people even secretly asked Cao's family, suspecting that the poem was written by Cao's family.

Master Cao went straight to Cao Xuehai with a sullen face and said, "Did you see that poem? That's Wan Ning's handwriting, right?"
