The emperor's mood inevitably became worse, but the emperor, who had been in a high position for a long time, had long practiced the art of being inconsistent with his appearance. Even if his mood became worse, he still had a gentle smile on his face.
He looked at the people kneeling on the ten-mile-long bridge, quietly enjoying the pleasure of being so high above them, and after a long time he finally said in a low voice: "Pingshen!"
The sound of singing and dancing, and the charming eyes of all kinds of carefully selected beauties, became the side dishes at the dinner party.
Soon, the dinner officially began. The palace maids carrying all kinds of delicacies filed in one by one. They were well-trained in placing exquisite small plates on everyone's table. In the blink of an eye, all kinds of dishes were covered.
.
After three rounds of drinking, the emperor suddenly became interested and said in a cold voice: "When we gather together for joy, how can we have wine without poetry?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the girl with beautiful eyebrows, big almond-shaped eyes, rippling water, a smooth and full forehead, and red lips, like a magnolia flower, and said slowly: "I heard that Princess Zhaohua is a talented woman of the day.
At tonight’s dinner, how about composing a poem in front of everyone and letting me and the ministers hear it?"
Lin Qingran frowned, sighed in her heart, stood up slowly, walked forward, and saluted: "Zhaohua screamed, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may I live a thousand years."
The emperor didn't tell her to get up, and the queen naturally didn't do good things. The emperor frowned and looked at the kneeling girl carefully. She was extremely beautiful, generous in manners, thoughtful in etiquette, and extraordinary in bearing. Although the expression on her face was very
He was very humble, but he had a frightening aura about him.
This is an unforgettable girl, no wonder she can capture the hearts of many outstanding men, but he is not happy about this phenomenon.
He didn't have to care about the girl in his boudoir at all. When he heard about Lin Qingran's experience, he even felt that she was a very pitiful child. However, she should never let Chang Qing become sincere towards her.
He had spent so much effort cultivating that child, and he would not allow anyone to stand in his way.
Those who want to do great things should not stick to trivial matters, be able to take things up and let them go, and never indulge in the love between children.
He smiled amiably, and his tone was kind and gentle: "Zhaohua, today I will test you in front of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to see if you are really talented and learned, or if you are just a waste of fame. If you can respond to my request and write a poem
Come, I will give you Dongming’s century-old nectar, if you can’t make it, I can punish you severely!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Dongming's hundred-year-old nectar was an ancient stone milk. It was extremely precious. Only two bottles were collected every year, only for the emperor and empress to drink. This was a great blessing.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Lin and Mrs. Lin turned red with excitement, and they subconsciously ignored the emperor's words of punishing you severely.
Yun Zheng's back couldn't help but straighten up, and his heart was raised: What is the emperor going to do? Why does he feel a menacing wrong feeling?
Lin Qingran's eyes narrowed slightly. She was not as optimistic as Prime Minister Lin and Mrs. Lin. Even though the expression on the emperor's face was kind and his smile was gentle, there was a cold solemnity in his eyes. She was the person involved, so she saw
She knows better than others that the emperor hates her. Needless to say, his questions must be tricky and weird. If I can't live up to my reputation as a talented woman today, I am afraid that the reputation of the eldest sister and Ming'er will be affected by her.
Lin Qingran knew very well that what the emperor wanted was just that - punish you severely!
