Inside the Ink Garden.

At this time, the ink garden was lively, talented and beautiful people gathered in the ink garden, gathered in twos and threes to talk about it, chanted poems against each other, and talked about the past and the present.

"Brother Qi, I said goodbye to the last poetry meeting, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what masterpieces are there this time?"

Brother Weng laughed, this time he just came to join in the fun. ”

……

Anna and Xie Quan were in a pavilion not far from the entrance of the Ink Garden, sitting in a corner of the pavilion, and they also turned a blind eye to the eyes of some talented people around them, and glanced at the entrance of the Ink Garden from time to time, with a cold and arrogant expression.

Xie Quan on the side was standing at the edge of the pavilion at this time, and next to him stood a middle-aged man in his forties, the man was dressed as a simple scribe, his face was elegant, and the two were talking about something.

Only from time to time, when the people around look at the middle-aged man with excitement and a little awe, it shows that the middle-aged man's identity is extraordinary.

The middle-aged man was one of the most powerful men in the world - Wen Zhong, the prime minister of the Chinese Empire.

In fact, before the poetry meeting held by the royal family began, there was already gossip claiming that the imperial prime minister Wen Zhong would also attend this poetry meeting!

The reason is that the place where the poetry meeting was held was built to commemorate the late calligraphy master Liu Feng, and it just so happened that today is the opening day of the ink garden, and Liu Feng was the mentor of Wen Zhong before he became prime minister!

Therefore, it is reasonable for Wen Zhong, as the prime minister of the empire, to take time out of his busy schedule to participate in the poetry meeting.

In the eyes of the younger generation of the imperial literary circle, Wen Zhong is not only the prime minister of the empire, but also the leader of the literary world and the idol of the literary world!

And if you are lucky enough to win the favor of Wen Zhong at the poetry meeting, it will be very beneficial to your development in the literary and political circles.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a step to the sky!

Looking at the elegant figure in front of them, a raging fire ignited in everyone's eyes.

Gradually, there were more and more people outside the pavilion, and the people who were already in the pavilion were even more reluctant to leave, and even chanted a poem from time to time "intentionally or unintentionally", just hoping to attract Wen Zhong's attention.

Unfortunately, so far, it seems that no one has succeeded.

Suddenly, Xie Quan turned to Anna and asked, "Anna, have you seen Ye Chen?"

"No!" Anna frowned, Ye Chen, this stupid person, had to throw the invitation to himself when he went out, so that now he and Xie Quan had to stare at the entrance of the Ink Garden here, lest Ye Chen would not be able to enter the Ink Garden and participate in the poetry meeting.

As she was talking, Anna subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the Ink Garden, and her eyes lit up.

……

"Little squeak, I walked over from the ink garden just now and seemed to see the second man of the Bai family, you didn't see the clothes he was wearing, it amused this girl, giggle!" Wen Jing walked up to Yang Ningzhi, her pretty face full of smiles.

"Why did he come, did he have to enter the ink garden like last year?" Yang Ningzhi couldn't laugh, as the person in charge of this poetry meeting, Yang Ningzhi didn't want someone to make trouble before the poetry meeting officially started.

"I don't know, by the way, Xiao Xiaobai hasn't come yet?" Wen Jing looked at Yang Ningzhi and said ambiguously.

Yang Ningzhi frowned, and glanced at Wen Jing with some anger, this dead girl, knowing that she didn't want to hear his name, she had to face him in front of her.

Bai Wen Jing glanced at her, "Let's go, let's go see what's going on outside!"

Entrance to the Ink Garden.

Since Ye Chen said that he wanted to write poems to qualify for participating in the poetry meeting, everyone in the audience invariably looked at Ye Chen, and even the upcoming poetry meeting was left behind, wanting to see if Ye Chen really had this confidence.

You must know that in previous years, it was not without fanatics who thought they were talented to do this, and the results can be imagined.

The people who can participate in the poetry club are the leaders of the younger generation in the imperial literary circle, and it is not ordinarily difficult to conquer many of the pride of the heavens with a single poem, after all, everyone is a famous young talent in the empire, if you rely on the poems you write to obtain the qualification of the poetry club, and you have to ask for invitations, how does this make the people of the empire think? Doesn't this mean that your talent with invitations is not as good as yours?

In this case, these talented and beautiful people in the poetry meeting will inevitably be more rigorous, and the possibility of success is very, very low!

And if it's just a failure, that's it!

After all, compared with the successful harvest, the momentary disgrace is simply insignificant, but it is a pity that at the exchange and gathering of the royal families of the two countries, the poetry meeting is a competition between the younger generation of the royal families of the two countries, and it is also a competition between the younger generation of the literary circles of the two countries, which attracts extraordinary attention, and it can be said that every move in the poetry meeting has a large number of media attention.

In this case, it is good to be able to stand out at the poetry meeting, once it is successful, it will become famous in one fell swoop, but it is different to compose poems on the spot and obtain the qualifications of the poetry meeting, with the imperial prime minister Wen Zhong Zhuyu in front, the media is extremely interested in this aspect, and it will definitely be reported in large numbers afterwards.

And once the poems he writes do not enter the eyes of the poetry club and are exposed by the media, doesn't it mean that he has wasted his reputation and is not worthy of the title of a genius at all?

This kind of self-surrendering thing, everyone doesn't want to be stupid and take this risk!

After all, most of the talented people who come to participate in the poetry club are seeking fame, and it is too risky to do so.

As time went on, there were fewer and fewer talented people who challenged, and gradually, everyone almost forgot that there was such a thing.

Ye Chen didn't know this, even if he knew, Ye Chen wouldn't care, after all, there were countless poems in Ye Chen's mind that had been passed down through the ages, and Ye Chen had this confidence!

Ye Chen ignored everyone's eyes, but walked straight towards Kang Song.

Coming to Kang Song's side, Ye Chen smiled and asked, "This brother, I don't know what the requirements are for writing poems?"

Kang Song frowned and said: "Little brother, do you really plan to do this? If you want to participate in the poetry meeting by writing poems, you must first be proposed by the people in the poetry club, and then you can create on the spot and be recognized by everyone to qualify, but I don't recommend you to do this, otherwise, you tell me your friend's appearance and characteristics, and I will go in and help you find your friend and bring you the invitation, so that he has nothing to say." ”

After speaking, Kang Song glanced at Bai Chi and found that Bai Chi was looking in his direction with a gloomy face at this time.

When Ye Chen heard this, he also had a good impression of Kang Song in his heart, although Kang Song was thinking about himself, this method was indeed feasible, and Ye Chen also thanked Kang Song for his kindness.

But Ye Chen also has his own considerations, first of all, popularity!

Before participating in the poetry meeting, Ye Chen also knew about the poetry meeting, and he knew that the poetry meeting was an opportunity for him, after all, it was only three days to discount the system, and now it was the last day, and he had to seize this opportunity!

What's more, he had already said it before, a manly man, a spit and a nail, Ye Chen didn't want to be despised by the people he despised.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled and shook his head at Kang Song.

Seeing this, Kang Song also understood what Ye Chen meant, and knew that Ye Chen had made up his mind, although he didn't know where Ye Chen's confidence came from, but Kang Song believed Ye Chen a little bit in his heart for no reason, shook his head, and no longer dissuaded, turned around and walked towards the ink garden.

For this to happen, according to tradition, it must be decided by the people in the poetry society.

And everyone also saw this scene, and when they saw that Kang Song really entered the ink garden to ask for a question, everyone's faces were full of excitement.

Bai Chi was also happy, Bai Chi at this time also figured it out, it was not that no one had done this before, but none of them succeeded, on the contrary, the fame of these people who were originally famous in the empire fell after the challenge failed.

And this little-known kid in front of him has never heard of it, let alone being so young, Bai Chi doesn't look like a big talent.

At this time, seeing Kang Song go in to ask for a question, Bai Chi couldn't wait to see Ye Chen's appearance later!

……

Inside the Ink Garden.

"What, someone asked?" Wen Jing's eyes widened and she exclaimed.

Canson glanced at Yang Ningzhi and nodded.

Yang Ningzhi also knew Kang Song, knew that Kang Song was not a targeted person, and already believed Kang Song in his heart, but he was still curious: "Who is asking for the question this time?"

Before Kang Song could speak, Wen Jing had already said excitedly: "Is it Xiaoxiaobai, wrong, Bai Liangyu? Bai Liangyu said in the poetry meeting last year that he would participate in the poetry meeting this year by asking for questions!"

After speaking, Wen Jing glanced at Yang Ningzhi again.

Yang Ningzhi naturally saw Wen Jing's eyes, and frowned, "Could it really be him?"

Kang Song shook his head and said, "It's not Bai Liangyu, it's a little brother, I don't know what it's called?"

Hearing this, Wen Jing and Yang Ningzhi glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look!"

"Well, go and see the fun!"

As he spoke, Yang Ningzhi and the three of them walked towards the entrance of the ink garden, and after walking for a long time, everyone came to the pavilion not far from the entrance.

"Jingjing, look, is that person ......?"

Yang Ningzhi suddenly stopped and asked Wen Jing beside him.

Wen Jing followed Yang Ningzhi's gaze, first stunned, and then said with a bitter face: "It's miserable, the old man is also there, little squeak, I slipped away first, don't tell him that I'm also in the ink garden!"

Yang Ningzhi nodded helplessly, and then walked towards the pavilion with Kang Song.

Although as the person in charge of this poetry meeting, and the eldest princess of the empire, everyone will have no objection to the question as Yang Ningzhi, but since Wen Zhong is also there, it is reasonable for Wen Zhong to ask the question!

Soon, Yang Ningzhi took Kang Song to the pavilion, and everyone along the way also recognized Yang Ningzhi and consciously let a way out.

As a famous genius in the empire, with a beautiful face and the identity of a princess, Yang Ningzhi has many fans at the poetry meeting.

Even on the occasion of the poetry meeting, where talented and beautiful people gather, it has always been the focus of attention, and at this moment, the combination of the eldest princess of the empire and the prime minister of the empire has attracted the attention of all those who participate in the poetry meeting.

"Teacher, I didn't expect you to come too!"

Yang Ningzhi pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

Wen Zhong turned his head and saw that it was Yang Ningzhi, and a smile flashed in his deep eyes, others only knew that Wen Zhong was the prime minister of the empire, but they didn't know that Yang Ningzhi was still half of Wen Zhong's student.

Wen Zhong smiled at Yang Ningzhi and nodded, and was about to open his mouth to introduce Xie Quan to Yang Ningzhi, only to hear Yang Ningzhi speak again: "Master Xie, I have seen the play you rehearsed, especially "Hamlet" a few days ago, which is extremely exciting. ”

Seeing this, he nodded, and Wen Zhong didn't say more.

"Haha, Her Royal Highness the princess has won the award, the drama "Hamlet" was not written by me, it was written by Ye Chen. Ye Chen smiled heartily and explained.

Yang Ningzhi smiled slightly, and said to Wen Zhong:

"Teacher, you happened to be here this time, and there must be something you are interested in!"

Hearing this, Wen Zhong smiled, "Let's hear it." ”

"Someone will ask for a question in this poetry meeting, since the teacher is also there, then the teacher will make the question!"

Saying that, Yang Ningzhi said playfully: "I remember that the last time the teacher asked for a question, it seems that it happened to be a question from Master Liu Feng, is this considered fate?"

As soon as Yang Ningzhi's words fell, everyone was also in an uproar, and then there was a lot of discussion.

"I didn't expect someone to ask for a question at this poetry meeting!"

"Could it be Bai Liangyu?"

"It's very likely that I haven't seen him at the poetry meeting yet!"

"It seems that most of it is him, if it is him, maybe he can really succeed!"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, some envious, some amazed, and so on.

Suddenly, he heard the two words of the question, and heard Yang Ningzhi mention Liu Feng, Wen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned.

Waiting for Wen Zhong to react, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go and take a look, today is the opening day of the Ink Garden, let's take the Ink Garden as the theme!"

After speaking, Kang Song was in front, and everyone walked towards the outside of the ink garden.

"Teacher, it won't be Ye Chen, right? I just saw him at the entrance of the Ink Garden. Anna tugged at Xie Quan's sleeve and whispered.

"How could it be Xiao Chen, he has an invitation, what is the best way to ask for a question?" Xie Quan glanced at Anna and said with a puzzled expression.

"Before he went out, he didn't think he had pockets for his clothes, so he gave me the invitation!" Anna pulled out an invitation from her pocket, and said nonchalantly.

Xie Quan suddenly stopped, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that it's probably him!"

As he spoke, Xie Quan stretched out his hand and pointed towards the entrance of the ink garden, and Anna said and looked at Ye Chen.

……

Ye Chen also saw a large number of people suddenly coming over in the ink garden, and Ye Chen didn't care.

Soon, Kang Song came to Ye Chen's face, and said with a complicated expression: "Come on, little brother, the topic this time is Moyuan." ”

Canson's voice was very low, and it was not until the second half of the sentence that he raised his voice, and everyone listened carefully.

"The topic this time is the Ink Garden, everyone thinks about it, see what poems can be written!"

"It's a little difficult to come up with the question this time, this person in front of me is so faced, he must not have participated in the poetry meeting, today is the opening day of the ink garden, even we have just visited the ink garden, difficult, difficult, difficult!"

"Hey!

in the crowd.

Wen Zhong also heard these discussions, and his face was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this stubble, but at this time, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret it.

"I can only 'release the water' later!" Wen Zhong sighed in his heart.

Anna and Xie Quan also heard it, and when they glanced at each other, they could see the worry in each other's eyes.

Ye Chen didn't know, and thought that this was a deliberate effort to increase the difficulty for himself.

Frowning, Ye Chen also felt a little tricky.

If this has to be replaced with some other topic, with the classic poems in Ye Chen's mind, it will definitely come easily.

But this ink garden only opened today, Ye Chen didn't know anything about the scene of the ink garden, and he didn't know how to start for a while!

Bai Chi on the side saw that Ye Chen's brows were furrowed and he didn't move for a long time, and he laughed wildly in his heart.

"How is it? Regret it? Dumbfounded, right? Can't write it? In front of so many people, tsk!"

"If you beg me, I'll lend you the invitation card so that you can go in and have a look, maybe there will be a chance, or I'll tell you about it?" Washing the inkstone pond, listening to the Tao Pavilion, watching the carp pavilion, ......" Bai Chi pretended to say the name while breaking his fingers.

Then he pretended to be abrupt, "No, I can't say it anymore!"

"Or do you beg me?"

After speaking, Bai Chi laughed wildly.

Ye Chen was a little angry at first, but then when he heard Bai Chi talk about some of the landscapes in the Ink Garden, his heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face...... (To be continued.) )
