Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

At this moment, the eldest princess Yun Yuhan stood up.

She felt very dissatisfied when she saw Shen Li being so proud.

You know, because of Shen Li, she was slapped hard by her mother Zhenfei. She really couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she came up with a plan.

Yun Yuhan smiled slightly, walked forward and said, "Father, you have given Shen Li so many treasures. Some people will be jealous."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you jealous of? How could there be such a petty person? Princess Chen is adding to the fun of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am happy, and it is only right that I reward her!"

Seeing the emperor so firmly defending Shen Li, Yun Yuhan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but on the surface, she pretended to be innocent and said, "I am just reminding you. After all, some people may feel that it is unfair."

"Unfair? If anyone thinks it's unfair, then come out and compete."

Seeing that his plan had been accomplished, Yun Yuhan curled up the corners of his mouth into a barely perceptible smile. Then, feigning composure, he said, "Father, how about this? Let's put the dance aside for now. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how about a poetry competition?"

The queen was originally somewhat unwilling in her heart, but she was the mother of a country after all, so she could not show it easily.

Seeing Yun Yuhan making trouble at this moment, he immediately agreed: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess's suggestion is very good. This will also make the banquet more lively."

At this moment, Concubine Zhen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up: "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. I've heard that although Shen Li is from the Shen family, she knows nothing about poetry and song. Asking her to compose poetry is asking too much."

The three of them sang in unison, which surprised everyone present.

You know, the Queen and Concubine Zhen are sworn enemies, usually at loggerheads, incompatible with each other. Unexpectedly, today, in order to deal with Shen Li, they actually stood on the same line.

"Mother, why do you always think about others? If Shen Li feels that it is not possible, then just admit defeat!"

Today, no matter what, she had to be suppressed. If she could hear Shen Li admit her incompetence, she would be able to laugh at and ridicule her to her heart's content in the future.

Thinking of this, Yun Yuhan looked at Shen Li and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.

The emperor also sensed the tension and asked Shen Li, "Princess Chen, what do you think?"

Shen Li had just sat down, and before her butt had even warmed up, she was challenged. She rolled her eyes at Yun Yuhan and said, "Don't you want to compete? Then I'll let you experience the essence of China's five thousand years. Let's see who will be embarrassed, me or you!"

"Why isn't she talking?"

"Are you afraid to compete? If you don't dare to compete, just admit defeat. There's no shame in admitting defeat."

People at the table started talking again.

No one insulted him this time, and Yun Chenyu didn't care much. After all, he knew that no one was perfect, and his princess was not a god.

Yun Chenyu turned to Shen Li and smiled, "Ali, is this okay? If not, just say it directly. If anyone dares to laugh, I will knock out his front teeth."

When Shen Li heard this, he burst out laughing, then quickly covered his mouth: "I'm afraid you'll knock out my front teeth~"

Yunchenyu: “…”

"Don't worry, I wouldn't be named Shen if I don't make them lose miserably today!"

Seeing her confident look, Yun Chenyu nodded as if possessed by a demon: "Okay, Ah Li, go ahead without worry. No matter what happens, I'll be behind you."

Shen Li nodded at him, curled his lips into a smile, and stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the challenge. If you don't obey me, just come at me."

Emperor Xuanyuan glanced at Shen Li and laughed, "Good, you're bold!" He then glanced meaningfully at Yun Chenyu, as if to say: "Look, what a wonderful wife I found for you! You were so reluctant at first, but luckily I didn't listen to you and canceled the marriage."

"Since we're competing, there must be a prize." The emperor pointed to a mooncake in front of him and said, "This mooncake has osmanthus filling. I haven't eaten it yet. If anyone wins the jackpot today, I'll give him this mooncake as a reward!"

"Good! Good!"

Everyone shouted together.

Osmanthus was very rare in this era and it symbolized nobility and purity.

Osmanthus was only supplied to the palace. Many people only know that osmanthus has a pleasant fragrance but have never had the chance to smell it. Therefore, it would definitely be a very enjoyable thing to be able to eat a bite of osmanthus mooncake.

What’s more, the mooncakes were given by the emperor, which would be the supreme honor.

Shen Li smiled slightly, thinking that the prize was interesting, but that was not her interest.

She just wants to prove her talent and impress those who look down on her.

"I'll go first!" Cheng Yueru, one of Yun Yuhan's lackeys, began to recite, "The bright moon shines on the tall building, and the flowing light is lingering."

"Not bad, worthy of being Miss Cheng." Everyone praised.

Yun Yuhan opened her red lips and said, "The moonlight is like a mirror shadow, and the autumn colors fill the eastern fence."

"Good poem!" Emperor Xuanyuan praised, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Soon after, other people also presented their poems one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

"Shen Li, it's been several rounds, it's your turn." Yun Yuhan looked at him with contempt.

Shen Li didn't say anything and asked someone to bring paper and pen.

"What's all this nonsense? You still have to write and draw. If you can't write poetry, just say so!"

"That's right, don't waste our time. Our time is very precious."

Shen Li shook his head and smiled, then wrote down the words one by one on the paper.

The people around fell silent, and those who had just made sarcastic remarks all kept their mouths shut.

Yun Yuhan looked at the words on the rice paper. She recognized each character, but when they were put together, she didn't understand. She had read so many books, but had never seen such a character in any of them.

"This is amazing! The artistic conception is so good!"

Suddenly a voice came from the crowd, and the man picked up the poem that Shen Li had just written and read it over and over again like a madman.

"Yes, it's really great. Look at this one too. The description of the moon is very apt!"

Yun Yuhan tilted her head, glanced a few times, and said with a twisted mouth: "Could it be that you copied it from somewhere?"

Mu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "Some people are more cunning than a needle tip and can't stand seeing others doing well!"

"Everyone, step aside and let Lord Sima take a look."

Sima Xiangru is now eighty years old. He is the emperor's teacher. He is very knowledgeable and talented, and the emperor respects him very much.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Li said, "Wait a minute, there's more here."

After saying that, he started writing again with great enthusiasm.

Everyone in the hall was talking about it. Others had a hard time composing a poem, but Shen Li was writing one poem after another. Her mind was like an endless river.
