A certain woman's hateful eyes glanced at him, as if to say, look! It was you who harmed me, and I was wronged.

Ye Xi got a little closer and reproached in a low voice, "It's all your fault, don't blame me for betraying you now!" ”

After a certain woman finished speaking, she stood up and looked at the woman with an innocent expression, "You have wronged me, if you want to blame Zhong Licong, it was he who stuffed what I wrote into your poems."

Oh! Now you don't dare to talk about him, just blame me, you have the ability to say that he cheats! Say I'm a good thing! ”​

Zhong Licong was speechless when he saw that he had shaken out all the things he had done for her cheating, which made people angry and funny. Whoever dares to be so bold and reckless as her, and dares to say that he is not, it is estimated that she is the only one.

Everyone looked at each other, sighed in their hearts, and became a little bolder, daring to call His Highness's name, and daring to say that His Highness took the lead in cheating. stared at King Ming, and saw that his expression was still so indifferent, not happy or angry.

When everyone thought that His Royal Highness King Ming was going to be angry, they saw him smiling and helpless.

I saw him staring at Ye Xi, and said in a reproachful tone, "You girl, you're too heartless, I'm not here to help you!" "There was a hint of pampering on his expression.

Ye Xi pouted and complained, "Cut, I didn't ask you to help me, if it weren't for the medicinal herbs in your house, I wouldn't have come to such a boring party with you." ”

A certain woman's straightforward words made Zhong Licong have nothing to say, although he knew that she came with him to want those medicinal materials in her house, but she said it openly, and her mood was a little low, and this little girl didn't care about her face at all.

Her boring party completely offended everyone here, and if this chant would be boring, then in her eyes, they would also be boring people.

Zhong Licong murmured in his heart, does this little girl know that her words can be regarded as completely offending these people. Although in his opinion, this bard is indeed quite boring, but he can't blurt out as casually as her!

In fact, Ye Xi did it on purpose, but he blamed Zhong Licong for bringing her to such a boring party. All of them are pretending to be dogs, but they are just a group of people who climb dragons and phoenixes! All right! She is also one of these people, she deliberately approached Zhong Licong, and if she could get his help at that time, she would have a smoother ride in Rongjiang Country.

Her brother also has a lot of power, but he has never had a high status of a prince, so with the help of her brother and King Ming, she can let herself secretly cultivate her own power in Beijing, so that no one will stop her, and those forces can grow faster.

Zhong Licong didn't tell her, otherwise he would have to be angry to death, he looked at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, his face was not angry and arrogant, "Lord Sun, this poetry meeting is hosted by you, why don't you take a look at Miss Ye's poems and judge to see if she can pass?" If you don't think it's okay, then even if she is eliminated, you see, how? ”

Sun Bingcai nodded, he must do what his master ordered.

The crowd discussed, nodded their heads, and agreed.

At this time, the subordinate handed Ye Xi's poem to Sun Bingcai, and Sun took it.

Master Sun took a look, with appreciation on his face, and looked at Ye Xi by the way.

I only heard his loud voice, "This poem is excellent, for the sake of fairness, this official will read it to everyone, let everyone listen to it, and be a witness together!" ”

I only listened to him read aloud, the peony demon in front of the court was unqualified, and the pond was pure and affectionate. Only the peony is true to the national color, and the capital is moved when it blooms.

He smiled and admired, "This poem is extremely appropriate to the occasion, and it also writes the beauty of the peony vividly, so that the whole capital wants to witness his heavenly beauty, good, great!" He said two good words in a row.

The reason why Lord Sun said that it should be appropriate is because outside the main hall now, there is a small garden, and all kinds of peonies are planted in the garden. There is also a pool on the side with different hibiscus flowers and a small bridge over the pool.

After everyone listened, there were people in the hall who kept talking, how about praising this poem?

I saw a person who looked like a scholar, with appreciation on his face, this poem said that the peony was charming, but it lacked character, the hibiscus was beautiful, but there was less warmth, only the peony was the national color and fragrance, which attracted countless people to seek after each other. Good poetry, good poetry!

A man in a cyan robe next to him echoed, yes! It's so well written!

Ye Xi secretly said in his heart, can it be bad? It's a masterpiece handed down from our ancestors, and it's definitely beyond your reach. However, Ye Xi understood that even if the poem he wrote was not so good, they would boast that he had written it well, because he was a person brought by His Royal Highness King Ming, and no one dared to offend him blatantly, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

Zhong Licong sat there with a light and breezy face, "Master Sun, it's time for you to judge, what do you think?" "The voice has no sense of oppression, but it can make Lord Sun fearful.

Master Sun's face was panicked and he announced the results, "Miss Ye's poems are extremely well written, so she can enter the second round of the competition this time." ”

Sun Bingcai muttered to himself in his heart, even if the writing is not good, the official can't let her be eliminated, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of His Royal Highness King Ming, and he doesn't want to live.

Ye Xi knew that this was the result, and no one dared to explain that the king was wrong, so she would definitely be able to enter the second round.

Next, Sun Bingcai announced the list of other people who entered the second round, and as for those who were not on the list, they were all kicked out.

At this time, the main hall became less crowded and no longer crowded.

Zhong Licong and several other jurors sat on the side of the stage, some distance from the people who were competing.

Master Sun looked at the people sitting below, with a congratulatory smile on his face, "Congratulations to everyone for entering the second round, and for the next topic, please make a poem about your own character or integrity, with a time limit of half an hour!" ”

After saying the same thing, the gong striker also struck the gong surface and signaled to start.

This time, Ye Xi didn't delay the time, she thought about it for a while, and then picked up the pen.

Zhong Licong saw that she had come up with it so quickly, and he was not curious. He couldn't help but sneak a few glances, and when he saw what she wrote, there was a look of admiration and amazement in his eyes.

He involuntarily read out the words written by her pen in his mouth, insisting that Qingshan would not relax, and that his roots were in the broken rock. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south.

He couldn't help but applaud, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Well written, great!" ”

Zhong Licong thought to himself, he felt that she had that kind of tenacity and never admit defeat, good, excellent! It's not an exaggeration to be the first talented woman this time.

Ye Xi felt embarrassed in her heart, after all, these were all made by others, and she didn't write them at all, she just copied them.

When everyone saw that King Ming actually praised a woman, then her poem must be very well written, and it is estimated that it is even better than the one just now.

Her work was completed ahead of schedule, and she handed it over to the jury, who was amazed by all of them after reading it.

Soon after, the time came, and everyone handed in their work.

Master Sun said the result, there is no need to think about it, Ye Xi entered the final round, and her Yongzhu poem has been praised one after another since then.

Now there are only six left, the first among the women is Ye Xi, and the other two women are the daughters of the ministers of the court, who originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find a good husband, but they were all disturbed by Ye Xi.

Those two women, one of them, was the daughter of the Duke of Huan Guo, named Feng Qingshuang. She admires King Ming very much, and this time she wants to attract King Ming's attention, but she is disturbed by a woman of unknown origin, and of course she is very angry.

At this time, she was looking jealous and hateful, staring at Ye Xi angrily, eager to eat her. She was the woman in the purple dress who had cheated on the surface before.

The other, just the daughter of a foreign governor, is not famous.

Feng Qingshuang thought with hatred and anger in her heart, I must become the first place, and I will never lose to a wild girl of unknown origin.

Master Sun's muddy voice began to say the third topic, "Next is the topic of the third scene, write a poem of love for the loyal monarch and serve the country, and the time is also half a pillar of incense!" ”

As soon as the gong sounded, everyone began to write.

Zhong Licong saw that she was thinking, and thought to herself, this time she should think about it for a while!

I saw that she thought for a few seconds, and then picked up the pen and wrote.

Zhong Licong saw that she remembered a song so quickly, and he was a little surprised in his heart, when he saw what she wrote, the map of Zeguo's entry into the war, and the people of the people. Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. It is rumored that the First World War was full of sorrow, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait have not stopped. Whoever says that Cangjiang is always fine, and there has been a long blood struggle recently.

Zhong Licong read the sentence that relied on the words of the monarch to seal the marquis, and it would be a success. It directly touches the heartstrings and makes people feel quite empathetic, no matter how much merit you have, it is made up of the white bones of thousands of people.

After Ye Xi finished writing, Zhong Licong snatched it up at once, and couldn't help but comment loudly, it was so well written, integrating the danger of the battlefield and the suffering of the people.

Ye Xi smiled with the wind and the warmth of the sun, and muttered in his heart, can it be good? I copied it according to the poems of the ancients.

Zhong Licong couldn't help but directly pronounce the verdict, this poem is the first.

Half an hour later, everyone handed over the poem to the judges, and they unanimously decided that the first talented woman was Ye Xi, and the first talented woman was Feng Qingfeng, the son of the Duke of Huan Guogong of the current dynasty.

Feng Qingshuang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, staring at each other with hateful eyes, eager to kill her.

Lord Sun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, read through Feng Qingfeng's masterpieces and Ye Xi's masterpieces.

Feng Qingfeng's poems, I am a crazy man, and my liver and gallbladder shine on Kunque. After a hundred battles, he swore to break the Jade Kuncheng (this name was taken by himself, and it was the border between the Rongjiang Kingdom and the Xidi Kingdom). This poem is made up by myself, so let's take a look.

Zeguo entered the war map, and the people were happy to be happy. Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. It is rumored that the First World War was full of sorrow, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait have not stopped. Whoever says that Cangjiang is always fine, and there has been a long blood struggle recently.

Master Sun was amazed, "Feng Gongzi's poems are full of ambition to serve the country. Miss Ye's poems vividly write about the suffering of the battlefield, and they are all excellent works. ”

After Feng Qingfeng listened to the poem read by Master Sun, he also had an expression of appreciation on his face, and a wave of appreciation swelled up.

Feng Qingfeng was invited by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and let the two people who were tied for the first place sit together, only to hear him say, "Everyone applauds and welcomes, congratulations to them on becoming the first talented person and the first talented woman of this year's poetry club." He was the first to applaud.

Ye Xi looked at Zhong Licong, gave him a look, and asked in a low voice, "It's going to be over!" ”

Zhong Licong looked at her mouth shape and guessed what she said? He nodded slightly.

Feng Qingfeng whispered to Ye Xi next to him, "The girl's poem is so well written, if you are a man, you will definitely become the first place this time." ”

He muttered in his heart, her poems are more realistic, more meaningful, and the danger and sadness of the battlefield are written very well, if she is a man, then she will not be able to become the first.

Ye Xi was extremely embarrassed to hear him praise himself like this, after all, he copied it, how could it be as strong as his own writing.

A certain woman clenched her fists and said in an eclectic tone, "Childe praised it falsely, and Childe's poems are well written." ”

Feng Qingfeng saw that she acted like a man, bold and atmospheric, not as shy as a daughter, he wanted to befriend her, but did she look up to herself? After all, she is the person next to King Ming.

Feng Qingfeng's handsome and elegant face was full of expectation, "Miss Ye, I don't know what the girl's real name is?" Where do you live? ”

Ye Xi smiled skillfully, "Childe, just call me Ye Xi!" I'm staying at Hakurentang, which is my newly opened pharmacy, so if I have time, I'll be here for next month's opening ceremony. ”

She didn't forget to make a name for herself at this time, and Zhong Licong was extremely speechless when she heard her words.

Feng Qingfeng's happy expression, "Okay, I'll definitely visit you then!" ”

Ye Xi asked Feng Gongzi next to him, "Is there a bonus for the one who won the first place?" ”

Feng Qingfeng shook his head. Seeing him shaking his head and feeling lost, Feng Qingfeng saw this disappointed look and said, "Although there is no prize, I can make a request to His Royal Highness King Ming." ”

He remembered that most of His Royal Highness King Ming would participate in the annual poetry meeting, and every time he participated, he was the chief judge. When His Royal Highness King Ming participates every year, he will agree to the first place and a request, of course, the requirements must not violate morality and the bottom line of His Royal Highness King Ming.

When Ye Xi heard this, he was immediately interested, "Is there some restriction on this request?" ”

Feng Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, His Royal Highness King Ming said that as long as he does not violate morality and his bottom line, no matter what he proposes, he will agree." ”

Ye Xi was thinking, if it was so good, then she couldn't make a request to him.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood on it and announced that this was the end of the poetry meeting.

Ye Xi saw that it was finally over, she walked to Zhong Licong's side, and unconsciously smiled, with a little hippie smile, "I heard that I won the first place, I can make a request to you." ”

Zhong Licong nodded his head, "Say it!" What do you want? Zhong Licong saw that she looked like she wanted a colorful head, and asked her funny.

Ye Xi spread her hands, "I want you to ......" she said here and paused deliberately.

Let everyone present misunderstand, Zhong Licong heard her words, and his heart was unconscious, with wisps of joy.

She went on to say, "Your money! His Royal Highness King Ming should have a lot of money, so why don't you give me a little! I don't want much, 10,000 taels, for His Royal Highness King Ming, it shouldn't be nothing! ”

Ye Xi calculated in her heart that if she had this ten thousand taels, then she would have the start-up capital, and then she would secretly cultivate her own people and send them to Chengguo and Xidi to find out information.

Zhong Licong knew that what came out of her mouth was not what he thought in his heart.

Zhong Licong didn't understand, why did she want so much money? His eldest brother is the prime minister, isn't his silver enough for her to spend?

Zhong Licong was so curious that he looked at her and asked, "Why do you want so much money?" ”

Ye Xi didn't lie to him, and replied sincerely, "Open a store!" I want to spread my medicine shop all over the world, so that everyone in the world knows that there is a medicine shop called Bo Ren Tang. Her face was full of ambition.

Zhong Licong thought to himself, his ambition is not small.

He was still curious, "Your eldest brother also has money, you can ask him for it!" ”

Ye Xi curled the corners of his lips, "No! That's his money, it's not mine, I'm going to open a store, I'll figure it out myself. "The funds she uses to open this store now are still the money she earned in Chengguo, and she doesn't have a penny from her eldest brother at all.

Zhong Licong didn't expect her to be so ambitious, her face was full of joy, "Okay, for the sake of your ambition, this king will send someone to you when the time comes!" ”

Ye Xi grabbed his hand, hooked his little thumb, and smiled with joy, "A word is decided, come, let's pull the hook." Pull the hook, hang yourself, and you can't change for a hundred years! "Full of pride.

Zhong Licong felt very interesting when he saw that he made an agreement, and there was such an agreement.

Ye Xi smiled, "Come, stamp!" Then, when their thumbs touched, they made an agreement and stamped it.

Ye Xi let go of his hand, Zhong Li Cong saw that softness slid away from his hand, and suddenly felt something missing?
