Chapter 504: How is it possible
Suddenly, seeing Princess Yunle's reaction, the person was still full of expectations, but in a blink of an eye, he turned from hope to disappointment, lowered his head, like a defeated rooster, and retreated helplessly.
Immediately after that, there was the second, the third...
These people are also doing good poems, there are even two, after the last verse was made, even the emperor couldn't help but praise it, but when he got to Princess Yunle, he still didn't get appreciated...
Gradually, the ten people who originally participated in the Wenbi finals were left with me and the last one.
Seeing the seventh contestant, after finishing the poem, Princess Yunle still didn't have the slightest intention of being moved, the empress's face sank, knowing that Princess Yunle was invisibly fighting against herself, but so many civil and military ministers around looked at it, and the empress was not good at getting angry in public, so she endured it.
"What's the matter with the princess?"
"These people have some talents, especially the fifth, that poem, absolutely amazed the audience, why princess she..."
"yes, I can't figure it out either."
Just when the empress couldn't help but get angry, the surrounding ministers were also talking, but Princess Yunle, who was standing there, had a calm face, her eyebrows lowered, she didn't look at the players in front of her, and she ignored the surrounding discussions...
At this time, after a contestant finished writing a poem, he saw that Princess Yunle had no reaction, and he also retreated in frustration.
Suddenly, the eyes of the audience converged on me again.
"There is only Lin Shanhu left."
"If Lin Shanhu's poems can't impress Her Royal Highness the Princess, then wouldn't Wenbi be the first?"
"What does it matter? Anyway, Lin Shanhu is already the number one in martial arts, even if he can't make poetry now, the horse is an ironclad thing."
At the moment when I slowly walked in front of Princess Yunle, the surrounding civil and military officials began to talk in a low voice again.
And in my eyes, there is only Princess Yunle at the moment, looking at her sad appearance, I feel that my heart has been pinched, especially the kind of beloved person, right in front of me, but I can't recognize each other, which makes me extremely uncomfortable.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess.." When I arrived a few meters away from Princess Yunle, I bowed and said respectfully.
Hearing my words, Princess Yunle's attitude, just like the other contestants, did not have the slightest wave, not even the slightest tremor of her eyebrows, and her heart looked like she was standing still.
Seriously, at that moment, I was in a very complicated mood, realizing that no matter what kind of poem I made, Princess Yunle would not have any reaction without knowing that it was me.
At that time, I wanted to give up, anyway, I was already the first in Wubi.
But I thought about it, what if the emperor announced that I was a concubine, and Princess Yunle objected on the spot, or expressed resistance, and did not marry?
If so, wouldn't my previous efforts be in vain?
Although I know that with the current situation, even if Princess Yunle is unwilling, the Empress will have a way to force her to agree, but in this case, Princess Yunle will definitely be punished by the Emperor again, which I don't want to see.
How do I let her know it's me?
For a while, after I saluted, I looked at Princess Yunle blankly, thinking about countermeasures in my mind.
To the people around me, it seemed that I was under pressure and didn't know how to compose poetry. Suddenly, many ministers shook their heads secretly, feeling that in the final of Wenbi, I, like everyone else, had no hope.
The empress sitting on the side also looked at me complicatedly.
I was silent for a few minutes, and just when everyone around me couldn't wait, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I read aloud to Princess Yunle in front of me: "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless people in the world... If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight..."
This is an ancient poem from the Qingyun Continent, and I have recited it to Princess Yunle alone before.
Suddenly, as soon as my words fell, the people around me suddenly fell into silence.
"What a poem..."
"The artistic conception is really seconds, especially the last two sentences, which are simply the finishing touch.."
Under the short silence, those civil and military ministers couldn't help but cheer, and the empress was also full of praise, and what made them even more stunned was that when Princess Yunle heard this poem, her delicate body also trembled suddenly, and then she raised her eyes to me tightly, and her eyes flashed with brilliance.
After staring at me for a few seconds, Princess Yunle's expression changed a few times, and finally she nodded at the Empress.
"Hehe, that's good. Lin Shanhu, it seems that the princess appreciates your poems very much." Seeing the princess nodding, the empress was also overjoyed, just now he was still worried that as the last one, if the poem I made did was not in line with the princess's wishes, it would be a joke, and his royal face would also be affected at that time.
So seeing that I, as the last contestant, finally got the approval of Princess Yunle, the empress was very happy.
"Sure enough, it's a civil and military all-rounder.."
"It's... Wenbi and Wubi are both the first?
"What an eye-opener."
Just when the empress smiled and spoke, the ministers of civil and military affairs sitting on both sides also opened their mouths to praise, and then, all the ministers stood up one after another, saluted respectfully to the empress, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, for Her Royal Highness Princess Yunle, find a horse with all-round talents in civil and military affairs."
At the same time, with the approval of the empress, the eunuchs, who had already prepared the announcement, also walked out of the hall happily and quickly, and issued a royal proclamation, announcing the results of the competition.
At this moment, Zhu Lie and Peanut, as well as the rest of the people who were standing outside the palace gate, waiting for the results, were extremely excited when they saw the royal announcement issued, as if they couldn't believe their eyes...
"Damn, Wenbi and Wenbi are both first?
"Haha, that's great, Brother Ringo has won the first place, and he's going to become a colt.."
Under the excitement, Zhu Lie and Peanut cheered with great excitement, and the people around him were also extremely shocked when they saw the results of the announcement.
"Oh my God, double firsts..."
"This Lin Shanhu is too powerful, isn't it?"
"It's worthy of being the dark horse of this recruitment competition, I thought he was very likely to become the first, but I didn't expect it to be the double first..."
"It's amazing.."
For a while, the entire imperial city was reciting the results of this competition, and Lin Shanhu's name was also known to everyone...
And here at the Royal Palace.
After hearing my poem, Princess Yunle realized something, and after nodding to the emperor, she looked at me tightly with a pair of eyes and did not take away for a moment.
And I also looked at her deeply, and my eyes were full of expression.
Under this silent eye contact, the intelligent Princess Yunle quickly realized something, on her delicate face, she tried her best to be calm, but she still inadvertently revealed a trace of joy, she knew that standing in front of her was Lin Bai, who she had been thinking about for a long time.
At that moment, neither of us spoke, nor dared to talk nonsense, just looked at each other so affectionately, silent at the moment, feeling each other's longing.
Next to us, seeing the royal announcement issued, the emperor slowly stood up with a smile on his face, and opened his mouth to announce: "Okay, this recruitment contest is over, and now I announce, Shadow Moon Pavilion Lin Shanhu, Cheng..."
At this time, under the emperor's announcement, the eyes of many civil and military ministers also converged on me, all of them looked excited, waiting for the emperor to announce and come to congratulate me. However, at this time, before the empress finished speaking, when she turned her head, she saw me and Princess Yunle looking at each other, and her voice suddenly stopped...
Not good..
Suddenly, when I saw the empress's eyes sharpened, I was shocked and realized that something was wrong.
"Take it for me." Seeing the eyes of Princess Yunle and me, the empress was very keenly aware that this was not the kind of eyes that two people only had when they first met, especially when they noticed that the love and cuts faintly revealed in my eyes, the empress immediately understood something, his face sank, and he ordered to several imperial guards behind him.
Wow..
Suddenly, as soon as the empress's voice fell, not only the princes and princesses sitting behind him, but also the surrounding ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as those contestants, were all stunned, looking at me with blank eyes, and then at the empress, all with a confused face.
At this moment, everyone didn't understand why the empress was still happy, but suddenly his face changed.
Compared with the astonishment of everyone around us, Princess Yunle and I trembled at the same time.
However, while I was nervous, I also pretended to be very calm, and without waiting for those imperial guards to approach, I saluted the empress, and pretended to be frightened and said, "Your Majesty... I don't know what I've done?"
When I said this, everyone around me also looked at the empress.
"Huh.." The empress sneered and stared at me tightly: "You don't have to pretend to be Lin Bai, the look in your eyes with the princess just now has betrayed you." ”
As he spoke, he looked at me with a smile, and his tone was indeed cold: "You really can, knowing that I am chasing you everywhere, you still dare to run back, use another identity, and participate in this recruitment competition, you are really courageous, but you also underestimate me too much, thinking that you have changed your identity and hidden your own exercises, and even more in the competition, you can hide from me without Shenmu?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Princess Yunle coldly: "Did he tell you about that poem just now?"
Seeing the panic on Princess Yunle's face, and not knowing how to answer, the empress smiled coldly, became more sure of her guess, and her eyes turned and fell on me again: "No wonder Yunle was not moved at all by the poems of those previous contestants, but when he heard your poems, he reacted so much, Lin Bai, what else do you have to say?"
Nima...
It's really a secret.
Listening to the words of the empress, at this moment my heart is really like overturning the Wuwei Altar, I can't tell what it feels like, I am annoyed, depressed, and a little helpless.
Originally, I planned that after the empress announced the results of the competition and named me as a colt, I had a chance to meet Princess Yunle, so I looked for a chance to take her away, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, my identity was still exposed.
Speaking of which, this empress's eyes are really poisonous, Princess Yunle and I were so careful, but he still noticed something wrong.
"What?"
"He... Is he Lin Bai?"
"How is this possible?"
