Lin Qingran knew clearly that the emperor wanted nothing more than to punish you severely.
Even though she didn't want to talk to the emperor at all, she still had to comply for the sake of her siblings.
Of course, she was a little selfish in her heart and didn't want Yun Zheng to be ridiculed because of her in the future.
She doesn't care about reputation, but she doesn't want the people around her to get hurt in the slightest.
She smiled slightly, blooming like a spring flower: "Zhaohua has neither talent nor virtue, and her reputation as a talented woman is nothing more than false praise from others. But if it can help the emperor's entertainment, I have no choice but to do it. I hope the emperor will forgive me when the time comes."
The emperor laughed loudly and said: "As expected, she is the princess whom I have personally sealed. She is so courageous that she has not lost my reputation. Okay, that's very good. After hearing what Zhaohua said, I am very confident after all, so I will ask the question
Already."
The emperor pointed in the direction of Qianyuan Hall and said: "When you came, did you see the cauldron there? It was left by my ancestors in Dongming. When our ancestors surrounded the palace, many of the former emperor's heirs jumped into the cauldron.
, the smell of cooked meat floated in the palace, burning with flames, cooking with raging fire, and died of torture, it was extremely sad, and the cry resounded through the sky. The ancestors were afraid that future generations would repeat the same mistakes as the previous dynasty, so they left the cauldron to warn future generations. I ordered you to use boiling
Compose a poem with the four characters "burning, frying, and weeping. As long as you can complete the poem within seven steps, I will be considered successful."
His tone suddenly dropped, and an unreasonable chill came out: "I hope you will not live up to your reputation as the most talented woman in Dongming."
The implication is very clear, if he fails to live up to his reputation, don't blame him for being ruthless.
The discussion on the ten-mile-long bridge fell into silence after the emperor raised such a topic. He secretly guessed how Princess Zhaohua had offended the emperor. It was impossible to ignore such a harsh request. Is this a poem?
Or a fate?
To write a poem in seven steps, you still need to use the four words boil, burn, fry, and cry. Not to mention that the origin of the cauldron is so bloody that everyone who knows it shudders, and even the female family members turn pale with fear.
Even if you are really talented at this time, you will be scared away by the blood. How can you write a poem within seven steps?
In fact, Princess Zhaohua is just a girl with ordinary hands. She can only compose a few poems about the sadness of autumn and the moon. How can she cope with it?
This was a real attempt to make things difficult, but because the target was the emperor, it seemed like a blatant frame-up.
Lin Qingran was happy after hearing the emperor's request. It was actually this topic, God help her!
I have to say that Dugu Lin is really the father of this emperor, otherwise how could the father and son have the same question.
At that time, Dugu Lin sat on the throne and held a large-scale imperial examination. One of the questions he took for the No. 1 Scholar exam was this. The No. 1 Scholar was indeed an extraordinary response. In just seven steps, he wrote a peerless poem, which was passed down as a legend at the time.
.
Doesn't the emperor's actions mean he wants to confirm her talent?
Lin Qingran raised his eyelids and saw the unconcealed joy in the emperor's eyes with the dim light, as well as the excitement revealed in the brows and eyes.
His eyes looked at her as if she were a dead person, as if he had already concluded that there was no way out for her this time.
She hates that he is so confident. She has always avoided things she hates as much as she can, but if she really can't avoid them, then she will attack them head-on instead of destroying them.
Now, what she wants to destroy the most is the emperor's eyes that look like a dead person, which makes people very uncomfortable...
