Chapter 444: Is It Difficult To Write Poems?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Great Wall Cargo, which was made up of veterans, was known to go everywhere. As long as it was somewhere humans could go, they would go.

They were not bragging. Didn’t they see that they were the ones who brought back the Xiongnu iron ore?

Recently, Great Xia could be said to be exalted in all aspects. New rice seeds were distributed everywhere. The farmers watched excitedly and expectantly as the rice seedlings germinated, planted seedlings, grew, and plucked ears. They had smiles on their faces every day.

The royal court was as lively as ever. It was still noisy every day over trivial matters.

It was said that after the Second Prince of Xiongnu returned, he quarreled with the First Prince over the throne again.

The First Prince accused the Second Prince of being impatient for quick success. Not only did he let many Xiongnu warriors die in battle for nothing, but he also caused Xiongnu to be greatly injured.

The Second Prince retorted that the First Prince did not think things through and handed over the iron mine that represented Xiongnu’s foundation. The two of them could not stop arguing and it also involved the fact that the First Prince had once placed the Second Prince under house arrest. Originally, this matter was just a verbal argument, but a “kind person”, who was unwilling to say his name, suddenly took out evidence and caused the Second Prince to fall into an unjust place.

Just as he thought that he had the upper hand, the matter of the First Prince bribing the other patriarchs was exposed again. In short, there were new dramas every other day. It was very lively.

Amidst this commotion, the people sent by Great Xia to mine iron ore were already in place. When the first ore fell out of the pit, everyone from Great Xia cheered.

As for Xiongnu, they did not matter to them.

Under such a bright atmosphere, the crown princess consort entered the Crown Prince’s residence.

On the day of the marriage, Zuo Xiangling, who was already a married woman, shed tears outside the Crown Prince’s residence. Then, she was quickly pulled away rudely.

In order to hide the ridiculous story of Zuo Xiangling and the Crown Prince that day and not affect the legitimate daughter, the Zuo Family quickly married Zuo Xiangling off.

The other party was 20 years older than her and was even a widower, but the entire family felt that they had already treated her well to let her, the concubine’s daughter, be the main wife.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao could only sigh that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

However, that was all. She did not have the heart of the Great Buddha of Leshan. How could she repay evil with kindness?

She did not want to come today, but as a princess, she still had to give face to some social events. After all, the Crown Prince’s status was higher than hers.

Other than the fact that the food was not delicious and it took too long, Xiaoxiao was not dissatisfied.

However, while she was leisurely here, some people could not stand to see her happy.

The noble ladies at the same table suddenly proposed a wine banquet. Each of them mentioned a poem about congratulating their newlyweds as a blessing.

They looked at Xiaoxiao with ill intentions. “Aiya, this is your first time participating in such an event, right?”

“We’re used to playing like this in private. Princess, don’t be nervous. Just say it casually.”

At this moment, it was as if no one remembered that she was a farm girl born and bred in Fortune Village, nor did anyone realize how difficult it was for an ordinary farm girl to compose the poem they were talking about.

Xiaoxiao felt that it was quite boring, but when they suggested, “In order not to let us affect the princess’s thoughts, why don’t you go first?” Xiaoxiao felt that she didn’t mind being an evil person for once, lest they felt that she was benevolent and easy to bully.

The noblewomen thought that if they composed a poem first, Xiao Ning might have a chance to ask for help from others. Who would have thought that not only did Xiaoxiao not look anxious, but she also asked calmly, “How many sentences do you want?”

The noble ladies had strange expressions. Did she know what poetry meant?

This was an improvisation.

If they had not made preparations in advance, they would have been flustered and afraid of being laughed at. Was she serious when she looked so confident?

“Princess, do as you please. Just a few simple sentences will do.”

It was a fantasy for her to be able to make two smooth sentences!

Xiaoxiao calmly swept her gaze across the faces that were gloating and waiting to see her embarrass herself. Ignoring Gu Ruoruo’s anxious expression, she cleared her throat and started to show the charm of nine years of compulsory education.

“Autumn Water Silver Hall’s Mandarin Duck Feathers, Heavenly Wind Jade, Phoenix Sound.”

“The purple flute blows at the moon, the phoenix soars, and the sleeves flutter in the wind.”

“The phoenix coronet, ceremonial robes, and red makeup. The tortoiseshell brocade has a new look.”

“The song of a hundred birds is in the golden wind. When we return in spring, we have to enjoy it together.”

“Red makeup with concentric knots, twin lotus flowers on one stalk.”

“A hundred years of love and love will lead to a thousand-mile marriage.”

“I wish the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort a blissful marriage. What do you think?”

The entire hall was silent, but Xiaoxiao did not care what they thought. After sitting down, she closed her eyes to rest.

It was unknown who started first, but Xiaoxiao’s poem just now had already spread among everyone.

Someone asked indignantly, “You prepared in advance?”

Xiaoxiao asked in amusement, “I wonder whose daughter this is. Do you think I can predict in advance that someone will ask me to compose a poem at the wedding banquet?”

“Whose daughter” blushed. “You haven’t studied, so how can you write poetry?”

Xiaoxiao knew at a glance that she was not smart and had been used.

Was it difficult to compose a poem?

She would make her own sentences if she knew them. If she didn’t know them, she would memorize them. The 300 poems of the Tang Dynasty had long been engraved into her bones. There were so many famous works. Any one of them could be used, okay?

However, she had EQ, Of course, she could not say this.

However, not everyone had EQ and IQ, so someone immediately provoked Xiaoxiao.

“Princess, if you want to prove that you didn’t cheat, do you dare to recite another poem on the topic of flowers?”

Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand and looked at him. “Although I don’t care if I prove it or not, it’s about flowers, right?”

“The colder the snow is, the stronger the temperament in the flowers. It will naturally drift away when it’s overdue. It’s even more shameful to beg for the East Wind.”

“This is a plum blossom.”

“The river flows east in front of Huang’s Tower. The spring light is lazy and leaning on the breeze. The peach blossoms bloom without a master. The cute dark red loves light red?”

“It’s peach blossoms.”

“Spring water encircles the body of the flower, and the enchanting shadows of the flowers each occupy spring. Even if it’s turned into snow by the spring wind, it’s definitely better than Southern Mo being crushed into dust.”

“These are apricot flowers.”

“The spring water flows silently. The tree’s shade illuminates the water and loves sunlight. The small lotus has just revealed its sharp horns and there are already dragonflies standing on it.”

“This is a lotus flower.”

Xiaoxiao blinked. “Is that enough?”

Without waiting for that person to answer, Xiaoxiao, who had finished her poetry, waved her hand. “If it’s not enough, I want to ask first.”

“What identity do you have to test my knowledge?”

At this point, she said in an imposing manner, “Didn’t anyone teach you how to punish the princess in person?”

That person knelt down in panic, and Xiaoxiao moved aside. “On account that today is the Crown Prince’s big day, I won’t argue with you for the time being, but…” She looked around. “That’s all.”

It was also at this moment that someone strode over.

The first to walk to Xiaoxiao’s side was Rong Yan. His gaze, which had seen life and death situations, was like a knife. Several figures in the crowd could not help but cower. The person who provoked her just now was so nervous that she broke out in cold sweat.

Grand Secretary Gu came next. Due to the difference between men and women, he was also a little far away from here like Rong Yan just now. However, when he heard that someone was looking for trouble with his precious granddaughter, he stood up immediately. However, his heart itched when he heard Xiaoxiao’s poem before he spoke, so he heard the last sentence from where he was.

In Great Xia, there was no scholar who was not afraid of Grand Secretary Gu. The reason why they targeted Xiaoxiao was actually because they were unconvinced that an ignorant and incompetent fool like her could be related to the Gu Family and Grand Secretary Gu.

Under the deliberate distortion of the truth by people with ulterior motives, these cynical and easily manipulated fools who did not know the truth really thought that Xiaoxiao was currying favor with the Gu Family unilaterally and the Gu Family had no choice but to reluctantly accept her.

However, at this moment, the usually cold and taciturn Grand Secretary Gu clearly expressed his disgust for the descendant of an aristocratic family. “Heh, those who don’t know might think that you’re the current top scholar.”

“Do you want to test me too?”

W-who had the guts to do that!

It was only when the descendant of an aristocratic family was filled with regret that he realized—could it be that the Gu Family was actually very close to Princess An’ning?

Grand Secretary Gu confirmed their guess with his actions.

“Xiaoxiao, are you willing to be Grandfather’s disciple?”
