Regardless of whether it was stealing or obedience, Prime Minister Qin could see that Lao Jiang was going to carry out his shamelessness to the end.
I'm afraid it would be wishful thinking to steal a poem manuscript from him.
But it doesn't matter, there will be poems today. When the time comes, I will stare at the table where the poems are placed, not giving Lao Jiang a chance!
Xu Qing and Su Qian also walked to the palace gate at this time. Xiao Ruxue, who was wearing a green dress, happened to come over at this time. After seeing Su Qian, she waved to Su Qian: "Sister Su!"
Then he jumped next to Su Qian in a few moments, then took Su Qian's hand, hid behind Su Qian, and glanced at Xu Qing secretly.
Xu Qing turned to look at Xiao Ruxue, who immediately said: "I won't eat, I won't eat, don't be cruel to me..."
Seeing this scene, Su Qian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Xue'er, my husband is also doing it for your health. You are really not suitable for eating cold food these days. In a few days, you can eat it. As long as
Use it sparingly, and your husband won’t stop you, and you won’t have stomachaches again.”
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, she stuck her head out from behind Su Qian and looked at Xu Qing: "Really?"
Xu Qing nodded: "Of course it's true."
Su Qian pulled Xiao Ruxue out from behind, looked at her and asked, "Didn't sister Wan'er come with Xue'er?"
Xiao Ruxue shook her head and said: "No, Xiao Ye said that he still has no strength. He was obviously fine when he came back from the wedding yesterday."
Xu Qing: "..."
Su Qian: "..."
As two people who have experienced it, they certainly know why, but for Xiao Ruxue, a pure little girl...well, in fact, the little girl knows a lot. Xiao Ruxue's speed was steadily beating Xiao Ye's.
But after all, I have never practiced it, and my knowledge is limited...
Above the main hall
Emperor Chu sat in a high position, looked at Zhao Kuangzhou, who had just arrived, and asked: "Is the envoy's health feeling better?"
Kuang Zhou bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your concern. I'm much better now."
Emperor Chu nodded and said: "As the deputy envoy of Zhou State said, you must not let your mind be affected by writing to make friends. If not, wouldn't it ruin the original intention?"
After Emperor Chu finished speaking, everyone raised their hands and said yes.
Emperor Chu nodded, looked at Xu Qing and said, "Uncle Anding County, are you ready for the next competition?"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "I am in good health and can compete at any time."
Emperor Chu nodded and said, "Then let's get started."
It’s still the familiar process, drawing lots, announcing the questions, burning incense and timing.
The topic for this round is rain.
Kuang Zhou was sweating on his forehead. Compared to today, he was only persuaded by Master Zhengshi. Master Zhengshi said that he must have a happy ending for this trip to Chu State.
This man's poetic talent was far superior to that of Kuangzhou, and he could not think of transcendence.
I just wanted to write a decent poem and lyrics and leave the scene peacefully.
The previous pride, disdain, and arrogance have been crushed to pieces.
Long Bing'er also looked at Xu Qing, still thinking about what kind of poem this talented Chu native could write.
She also disliked Kuang Zhou. He relied on his talents and arrogance along the way and did not pay attention to the envoys accompanying him. This directly led to the fact that in the past few days, except for the envoys who came to pay attention, no one went there.
Speak words of comfort to him.
If he hadn't come to provoke him, he would have had to let him taste what it would be like to have a hand cut off.
I just didn't expect that when I arrived in the Chu country, everything would be defeated, and the evil would be rewarded.
Xu Qing's three poems and three words were completely knocked off the clouds and fell into the soil.
This scene made her, a native of Zhao, feel happy when she saw it.
And the song "A Fisherman's Thoughts on Autumn" was really written into her heart.
Especially the two sentences "A cup of wine can bring thousands of miles home" and "The general's gray hair and husband's tears", I feel deeply every time I think about it.
At this time, I am even more excited about what Xu Qing will write next.
Although it is said that evil people will be punished by evil people, he is indeed not a evil person. At most, he is a bit annoying sometimes.
Apart from being a little shameless and being a little bit deceitful, the rest of the place is pretty good.
He could lead him to find a place for the banquet, or he could be upright and would rather offend King Qi of Chu State than help a weak woman like Sister Mingyue.
He will also help them guide the way thoughtfully.
If he would stop saying that he is handsome and handsome without any shame, he would really have no shortcomings.
Although he is indeed good-looking, there is no denying that.
But who would be so shameless and praise themselves for being handsome every day?
Where did he learn all the gentleness and humility of a gentleman?
Don’t you know how to write the word modest?
…
At this moment, the envoy next to the deputy envoy of the State of Zhao whispered: "The deputy envoy is in an important position and represents me as an envoy of Zhao. When you are in the main hall, you should pay attention to your appearance and must not laugh randomly.
.”
In fact, the envoy originally wanted to say not to giggle randomly, because the deputy envoy did not simply smile. He had been staring in one direction and giggling for a long time. He had no choice but to remind him.
But for the sake of his wealth and life, the messenger changed his giggle into laughter.
Long Bing'er looked away from Xu Qing, and after coming back to her senses, she asked doubtfully: "Did I laugh?"
The Zhao State envoy nodded and said: "Your Excellency really laughed, he laughed for a long time..."
Long Bing'er glanced at him and said, "You have to think about it carefully. Did I really laugh?"
The envoy of Zhao State immediately shook his head and said: "No... no... Sir, if you say you are not smiling, you are not smiling!"
Princess Mingyue just sat quietly aside, spreading out the paper and preparing to write.
Zhao Daru also sat quietly in a place looking forward to Xu Qing's new work.
Xu Qing, who was sitting in his seat, thought about it for a while before writing.
He couldn't admit defeat directly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to the officials, let alone the gamblers from the capital.
If this was straightforward and we simply gave up, why wouldn’t those gamblers go to Uncle Anding’s house every day and throw bricks in the yard in the middle of the night?
Then the pen tip moved slightly, and a poem was written on the paper.
However, this time I wrote at the same time as Kuangzhou.
When Jiang Xiang and Qin Xiang saw that there was only one poem in front of Xu Qing, their hearts tightened. Why was there only one poem this time?
Is it that Xu Qing is not good at this question?
Rain is not a difficult poem topic.
Just when the officials were circulating Xu Qing's new poem, Jiang Xiang saw that after reading the poem, he didn't notice any errors, but after reading it carefully, he suddenly discovered that there was a metrical error in the poem.
It's okay if I haven't discovered it before, but once I discover it, it becomes more and more eye-catching.
Since the previous dynasty, rhymed poems and quatrains have formed a strict rhythm, including levels, lines, antitheses, antitheses, and rhymes.
This poetry competition also limited the format of poetry to rhymed verses and quatrains.
In the poems written by Xu Qing, each word and sentence is perfect if taken alone, but if put together, the last sentence cannot rhyme.
If it doesn't rhyme, it won't be catchy.
This is why it becomes more eye-catching the more you read it.
