Chapter Twenty-Four: The Same Poem
Duchess Chengen saw that her daughter choked Li Shu, but she didn't apologize, but she didn't hear it, and said with a smile: "It's not interesting to sit in the hall, why don't you go and see their little girl fighting poetry together." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
She doesn't value Li Shu very much, since her daughter doesn't like her, she who spoils her daughter, naturally she won't let her daughter apologize to someone she doesn't like, her daughter is the daughter of the princess, noble and extraordinary, how can she apologize to such a down-and-out concubine, even if this concubine has a so-called reputation as a talented woman.
Mrs. Li saw that Duchess Chengen didn't give her the annoying Li Shu face at all, and her mood was much better, and she smiled at the moment: "I listen to Madame." β
Naturally, the others did not object, so the group followed Zheng Xiuxiu out.
As soon as Zheng Xiuxiu came out, because of her status as the daughter of the princess, she received the attention of many girls and boys in the garden, Zheng Xiuxiu was obviously very proud, although there are still some real wealthy families who don't take her seriously, but at least these people who come today are centered on her, as long as she is in the limelight in her own home, as for leaving home and going to someone with stronger potential power than her own family, whether she is the focus of others' attention, whether others will not pay attention to herself as much as in her own home, this kind of unpleasant thing, she doesn't think about itγ
And after the introduction, Li Shu, who knew a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles, also chatted with everyone at this time, but Mu Hibiscus could see that her favorite was the prince of Chengen, who made him the highest status and the best family background among these cadres - since the ladies who came were not better than the conditions of the Chengen Mansion, the princes and sons of the princes who came were naturally inferior to the sons of Chengen, so in this case, it was normal for the Chengen princes with the best conditions to be favored by nobles such as Li Shu.
Li Xin watched Li Shu keep looking for opportunities to talk to the prince of Chengen, and the prince of Chengen was also willing to talk to her because of her talent and name, coupled with her playful and cute appearance, so the two of them were hot, and they couldn't help but have dark eyes, and secretly said that she wanted to see, and Li Shu would make a scandal, this prince of Chengen still likes her!
Seeing that her mother and others also came out, Zheng Xiuxiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Mother, you can come to the question." β
Although the Duchess of Cheng'en wanted to come up with a question by herself, because that would give her a better question, if the guest wanted to write a question, wouldn't it be too disappointing if she came across a topic that was unclear and made people dislike or even offend her taboo? But she still had to be modest, and immediately laughed and said: "Silly boy, there are guests here, and the guests should be allowed to make questions." β
Fortunately, those princes and ladies were also quite cooperative, and they all smiled at the moment: "The guest is as the host, it should be the lady who asks the question, how can there be any reason for us to ask the question." β
Duchess Chengen conceded again, and then smiled: "Okay, I'll come, I'll come." β
After thinking about it for a while, he pointed to the peonies in the garden and said with a smile: "The peony flowers in this garden are blooming just right, so you can use the peony flowers as the theme and write a poem, and the time limit is a stick of incense." β
"Peony, flowers bloom richly, this question is good. Mrs. Li smiled flatteringly, she is a perennial frequent visitor to the Duchess of Chengen, but whenever the Duchess Chengen does something, she begins to praise it, and the Duchess of Chengen feels that she does need to look at people's eyes and support the first time, after all, if there is no such person who specializes in praise, in case she says something, and then it is cold, it will be boring, a person who wants to have eyes often holds it, and a person who can look at people's eyes to act, it can be regarded as a hit, so this is also the reason why Duchess Chengen has blue eyes for Mrs. Liγ
Zheng Xiuxiu saw that Mrs. Li was currying favor with her mother as usual, and couldn't help but look at the girls in the Li Mansion with disdain, so that the girls who saw this situation for the first time couldn't help blushing, thinking about Mrs. Li's dog-legged appearance, it was really embarrassing, but she often came along, and the Caiqin, which she was used to seeing for a long time, and the hibiscus that would never bring out an inappropriate expression, did not move at all, and stood beside Mrs. Li, without the slightest embarrassment.
In fact, Caiqin was quite embarrassed when she saw Mrs. Li flattering Duchess Chengen for the first time, but then she got used to it, but it was the first time Hibiscus saw this situation, and she didn't feel embarrassed by her own wife, and she didn't have any unusual expressions, which was really rare, so Caiqin and Mrs. Li couldn't help but look at her.
If Mrs. Li's husband has no special reason in the future, he will probably only be able to inherit the viscount title, and his son will have a baronial title, and his grandson will have no title, and he will be in decline, just like the Wei family, so it is no wonder that she flatters Duchess Chengen so hard, just in the future, even if she can't be promoted, it would be good if she could maintain the title of earl, as long as she pleased Duchess Chengen, Duchess Chengen told Empress Dowager Zheng, Empress Dowager Zheng told the emperor, this matter is a matter of the emperor's words, there are such big interests, Mrs. Li can't care about being ashamed or not, she only knows how to please Duchess Chengenγ
Now that the topic has been said, all the boys and girls at the scene have put pen to paper.
After a stick of incense, the Duchess of Chengen instructed people to put away everyone's good works and comment on the merits with each lady.
After watching it for a while, several ladies who acted as temporary judges couldn't help but look strange, and a few people whispered a few words, and then Duchess Chengen cleared her throat and called Li Shu and Li Lan to the front.
"I don't know what happened to the Duchess of Guo calling us two sisters?" Originally, Li Shu heard Duchess Chengen call herself, thinking it was a good thing, but seeing that the other party also called Li Lan, and then looked at the group of people above with disdain or contempt or hesitation looking at them, she couldn't help but feel ominous in her heart.
The expression on Duchess Chengen's face was unfathomable, and she immediately held a poem and handed it to her, saying, "You made this poem?"
Li Shu took a look, only to see that it read, "The peony demon in front of the peony court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate." Only the peony is true to the national color, and the capital moves when it blooms", this is the masterpiece of Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty in his time, it has always been the best poem of the peony, and it is also the only poem she remembers, so she used this one at the time, and when she saw it, she nodded and said: "It was made by the little girl." β
Then Duchess Chengen picked up another piece of paper and said to Li Lan: "You did this?"
Although Li Lan was as confused as Li Shu, she stepped forward to see it, nodded and said, "Yes." β
After listening to the answers of the two, the ladies on the table couldn't help but look more and more strange, and then the Duchess Cheng'en smiled and said, "They all said that they did it themselves, so can you tell us why it is exactly the same?"
Mrs. Li couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, and Mu Hibiscus was also extremely surprised, after all, she knew that Li Shu was a crossing girl, and the so-called poems were all stolen from other people's poems.
And even more surprised than them was Li Shu, when Li Shu heard it, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "What?!How is it possible?!"
