Chapter 30: Good Poetry!

When she raised her head again, her face was still drowsy and her eyes were hazy.

When she heard a crisp and long voice in her ears, her misty eyes involuntarily turned to the direction of the platform, and when she saw the scene on the stage, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her head became much clearer.

At this time, there was a girl in a white dress sitting on the left side of the platform, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, gently and elegantly plucking the strings under her hands, and there was also a man standing next to her who was also wearing a white dress with a meniscus pattern, playing the flute, with a gentle and elegant posture, and her eyes were touching the woman playing the piano, and then her smile was gone, like a spring breeze!

The sound of the piano is sometimes high, sometimes long, the sound of the flute follows closely, echoing each other, when the sound is high, the smile on the man's face becomes more and more gentle, like a king who points out the country between talking and laughing.

In the middle of the stage is a pair of beautiful people with outstanding appearance, both holding long swords in their hands, wielding them lightly and flexibly. The hem and sleeves of the beauty's dress are embroidered with fine pink peach petals, and when she turns lightly, the dress flutters, and the fine petals are like a rain of flowers flying in the peach forest; The talented man is dressed in white like snow, his movements are crisp and neat, and his expression is cold and grim, like a general who is leading thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield. However, when the eyes met the beauty, they became no longer cold, and the face also had a temperature, and at this time, it was like an infatuated man who only smiled for the beauty after taking off his armor and returning to the family.

The banquet guests stared intently at the four people on the stage, the picture was so beautiful! There seems to be a cluster of light lingering on the bodies of the four of them, or is it their own light!

This fairy-like talent and beauty, and the graceful and charming dancing, as well as the music of the mountains and rivers, such a scene is an ultimate enjoyment for the eyes and ears of everyone here! No wonder people often say that they only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals, they must just want to have this scene in front of them.

It's really a talented and beautiful woman, just looking at it makes me feel eye-catching, this picture is really beautiful, much better than the wild history books that Zhiyan helped her collect! Shen Yafei's eyes were shining.

Shen Yafei suddenly regretted a little, she just fell asleep, look at the appearance of the young lady and brother in this scene, such a person is eye-catching when he stands on the stage. The show when she fell asleep just now was also very exciting. Alas, it was really a waste of a good opportunity to watch the show, Shen Yafei sighed secretly.

"It's really a talented woman, it's such a match, what do you think, Miss Shen?" It was Huo Ningxiang who was sitting next to her who spoke, since Huo Ningyu was dragged out, her place was vacant, this Huo Ningxiang didn't know when she sat down directly, Huo Ningxiang saw Shen Yafei's face was deep and gloomy, thinking that she was secretly sad after seeing the scene of her sweetheart being in love with others.

Shen Yafei nodded in agreement with a smile after hearing her words, "It's not!" Therefore, this person's tutoring is still very important, and if you teach well, what attracts attention is the pleasing performance; If you can't teach it well, you ยทยทยทยทยทยท." Shen Yafei paused, deliberately did not say any more, and then took a deep breath, "Fortunately, I was born in the Shen family!" โ€

"You!" Shen Yafei's words were all about Huo Ningyu's performance just now to mock her, Huo Ningxiang was so angry by her words again that she was so choked that she couldn't speak, clutching the corners of her clothes and panting.

At this time, the music on the field slowly soothed, and the pair of beautiful women dancing swords also slowed down the rhythm.

The dance music ended, and the people present were still intoxicated by the scene just now, and did not slow down.

"Good! Good! Good! The Queen Mother's vigorous voice broke the silence and woke up the people who were still unsatisfied, "The mourning palace received a few yellow silk satin from the south of the Yangtze River some time ago, and I will send one to the Shen Mansion tomorrow!" The Queen Mother instructed the grandmother beside her.

"Yes." Mama replied respectfully.

As the name suggests, yellow silk is the silk spit by the yellow silkworm, and the yellow silkworm is a unique silkworm on an inland river island called Zhongcong Island in the south of the Yangtze River in the direction of the south of the Celestial Empire. The silk spit of this silkworm is crystal clear, the texture is soft and delicate, and the touch is like freshly squeezed milk.

Yellow silkworms can only survive in Zhongcong Island, and it is very troublesome to raise, and the amount of silk is not much. Therefore, yellow silk is extremely precious, and it is only raised to enter the palace for the palace to use, and ordinary people, even if they have a thousand gold, they can't exchange it for a bundle of yellow silk. And the annual tribute is not much, just a few horses, in the palace there is only the queen mother, the emperor and the queen in the palace, of course, when the tribute is more, there will be some rewards for the second prince, that is, the biological mother of King Lang, and there is absolutely no other person in his hands. And it was the first time that it was used as a reward.

The lady and lady present did not hide the envy and jealousy in their eyes.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin thanked happily, and then returned to the table and sat down.

Lin Wanxin, who was sitting next to Shen Yafei, was still panting at the moment, her white and tender cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were watery with spring, and she looked delicate.

"The performance just now is really wonderful, now there are "dance" and "martial arts", so let's do something related to the text next. Let's show the literary style, it's just a show, not a competition, so don't worry. Those who have performed a show just now can participate or not, and it is not mandatory, but everyone who has not performed a show must participate. Princess Huihua said with a smile.

Several eunuchs moved a few tables and chairs to the stage, and the palace ladies put paper and pen and ink on the table, and everything was ready!

"We're in a group of ten people, so who do we start with?" Princess Huihua spoke again.

"I'll do it first." A young lady who didn't perform a show just now was about to show herself, and she asked for it automatically and generously.

"Okay, who else?" Seeing that no one responded, Princess Huihua said, "Then go down from your position to the left." โ€

According to the usual practice, Miss Gongzi learned from each other, and the eunuchs would read the poems written to everyone, and everyone would hand them over and circulate them to each other if they thought they were well-written.

After a few rounds, it was Shen Yafei. At this time, the daughters on both sides of her got up and left their seats, and Shen Yafei did not move.

"Isn't Miss Shen Er going up?" Huo Ningxiang's crisp and loud voice sounded in the main hall, attracting the attention of others, and they all looked at Shen Yafei curiously.

"I don't know how to write poetry." Shen Yafei's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she spoke indifferently.

Such a calm attitude shocked everyone.

"It's not a competition, it doesn't matter if you can't compose a poem, it's okay to write a few lines of a poem you've read before." Princess Huihua just said that everyone would participate, but she was left behind if she didn't want to.

"I can't write well." Shen Yafei still refused.

Princess Huihua said so, but she refused, it was too faceless, and Princess Huihua's face was a little unbearable at this time.

"It's okay, Miss Fei'er, you can write just two words, just now Huihua said that everyone has to participate, don't think about being lazy and hiding over." The queen came out to relieve the siege.

Even the queen said so, that is, it can't be pushed off. Shen Yafei frowned, a little reluctant in her heart, so she could only confirm with the queen again: "I don't remember any poems, so I really only write two!" โ€

"Yes."

Shen Yafei had no choice but to go on stage, and when she got on the stage, she looked at the blank rice paper on the table, and her head was also blank for a while. I picked up the pen a few times and put it down again, but I really didn't know what to write. She woke up for so many years, and she didn't read any books except medical books and wild books. She almost forgot what poetry is, and if she writes two words, what words should she write? Alas, it's really a big head, I knew it would be so troublesome to enter the palace, so she pretended to be sick at home.

Huo Ningxiang next to her saw Shen Yafei's distressed face and couldn't write, her heart was extremely happy.

Look how crazy you are this time!

"Good poetry!" A girl on the edge of the stage couldn't help but praise after seeing the poem written by the woman next to her.

The person next to her was a little red, and said modestly, "Where, Miss Feng has won the award." As he spoke, he glanced at Miss Feng's work and praised, "Miss Feng's is a masterpiece!" โ€

"Where, where." Miss Feng also responded modestly, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her good mood.

There was a modest compliment, but here Shen Yafei was inspired by the word "good poetry" just now, and in an instant, he waved the pen a few times, lifted the pen to finish, and put the written rice paper into the eunuch's hand at a sudden speed. Subsequently, he retired to the upper position, and fell directly.

After the eunuch saw the words on Shen Yafei's paper, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily twice, and he hurriedly put the paper at the end. Of course, this is not that this eunuch has the intention to cover up something for Shen Yafei, but this rule is like this, the first works handed in are placed at the top, and the later ones are sorted in order. It's just that the eunuch's movements were a little weird just now, but fortunately, everyone didn't notice it, and when people looked over again, the eunuch's face had returned to normal.

When this group of people was finished, the eunuchs of Langshi began to read their poems, this batch has no characteristics, they are all lyrical Wing Chun that is not salty or light, and the structure is also decent, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is also not brilliant.

When it was time to read Shen Yafei's work, Landsea's eunuch's eyes widened and his breathing froze a little when he saw the two words on the paper. He coughed, took a deep breath, and read aloud: "Good poem! โ€

Well? I haven't started reading this yet, so I just sighed? And what's the deal with that surprised look? Is it really that good?

Everyone was looking forward to waiting for the eunuch's next sentence, but after waiting for a long time and not waiting for the next sentence, the emperor thought that he was playing tricks, and asked in a very unhappy tone: "Then what?" โ€

The eunuch heard the warm anger in the emperor's tone, shook his hand almost invisibly, and said weakly: "No, no." โ€

"None? No, what did you just pause for so long? The emperor said dissatisfied.

The grievance in the eunuch's heart is obviously requested by you masters to pause for a while after reading a poem every time, so that everyone can taste it. How can he be blamed for this? Okay, this doesn't seem to be a poem, but no matter what people say, she is also the second lady of the Shen family, and he doesn't dare to treat her differently without the special instructions of his master!

Who did he recruit and provoke whom? The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave should die, the emperor spares his life!" โ€

The emperor took the trouble to say: "Get up, I didn't say I want to blame you." โ€

"Who wrote this?" The emperor asked again.

"Shen, Second Miss Shen." The eunuch's tone was also a little empty.

"Bring it to me quietly." The emperor said.

When the eunuch saw that the emperor's face seemed to be smiling at this time, he calmed down and handed over the rice paper.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! When the emperor saw the words on the rice paper, he laughed directly.

"Show the mourners." The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing when she saw the emperor, and couldn't help but snatch the rice paper with her hands, and couldn't help laughing after reading it, "Hahahaha......"

The queen leaned her face over to look at it, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her face twitched uncontrollably a few times, and her mouth let out a slightly restrained giggle.

Just when everyone was full of doubts and curiosity, the Queen Mother kindly let the paper written by the eunuch Shen Yafei pass it on, and the officials and family members rushed over one by one, and when they saw the words on the paper clearly, their faces became weird.

The people of the Shen family also looked over, and they saw two strange words written on the rice paper, without any pen, the handwriting was like a three- or four-year-old child, floating and weak. But it is different from the words written by children, and the words written by other children are at least correct. The strength of Shen Yafei's font from the first stroke to the last stroke is almost the same, and each stroke is in an arc shape to move closer to the middle, which makes the whole character look like a chubby round little figure, and there are some strokes in the middle of the font that are a little curved, which looks more like the outline of a small portrait. It's like a child who has just learned to hold a brush and is drawing circles, and you can see what the words are, but it looks like a little doll, which is very weird and funny, and it makes you want to laugh.

General Shen and Mrs. Shen's faces were a little pale, and they felt that they were too embarrassed, they were all people who wanted to be in tune, how could the writing be so nondescript, even as good as a child's.

Which of the children of their Shen family is not both talented and virtuous, and every time someone talks about it in the past, they are full of envy and admiration. This is the first time they have faced this situation, facing such stares from everyone.

Many people took into account the presence of the Shen family, and when they thought of the three men of the Shen family being full of anger, they didn't dare to laugh on the spot. Some of them don't have strong control, and they spray the food in their mouths directly on the faces of their neighbors, causing their companions to stare angrily.

However, several friends of the royal prince and the prince did not pay attention to them, and when they saw the font, they laughed on the spot.

Xu Shizi patted his thigh and laughed: "So talented, hahaha!" โ€

Chen Si was even more exaggerated, pointing directly at the words on the paper, and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

After hearing their laughter, especially the unscrupulous laughter of Xu Shizi and Chen Si, General Shen felt that his face was hot, and his face became deeper and more obscure, and Lord Cai, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but move his chair out an inch.

And the person who caused this chaos was very calm, directly ignoring the contempt and schadenfreude in Huo Ningxiang's eyes, and was enjoying the food at the banquet with peace of mind. Seeing everyone's gaffe one by one, she flattened her mouth, she just said that she was not good at writing, they had to ask her to write, she had no choice, she wrote like this, and it was not intentional. Besides, none of the people of the Shen family stood up to help her refuse Princess Huihua's proposal just now, so now they have no right to blame her for disgrace to the Shen family.

Everyone saw that Shen Yafei was still able to eat without changing her face in this situation, and they really didn't know if she was thick-skinned or really so calm.

At this moment, Shen Yafei's talent is unreservedly revealed in front of everyone, she can't compose poems, and she can't even write words!

Coupled with the quarrel with Miss Huo Jiawu just now, regardless of the occasion, Shen Yafei's image in everyone's hearts fell to the bottom, and she was a waste material daughter who was immoral, incompetent and brainless!

In the Shen Mansion, a superior and luxurious family, the children have always been dragons and phoenixes among people, one by one, and now there is such a character as Shen Yafei, which is really happy!

Now there is no need for others to spread this matter, and the rumors have spread all over the capital. After some families heard these rumors, they thought of Shen Yafei's noble status, their eyes flashed, and they silently made a small calculation in their hearts.

Of course, that's all for later.

A few quarters of an hour later, the Queen Mother spoke to suppress the situation in the palace, and asked Princess Huihua to continue to support the talent display of the remaining people. However, at this time, everyone was still apprehensive by Shen Yafei's font, and they didn't have any intention of composing poetry. Therefore, the poems displayed by the people behind are mediocre and unremarkable.

The banquet also came to an end quickly, and after the end, the palace returned to its previous calm, but today, the talent display of the three sisters of the Shen family still has a lingering charm in everyone's hearts.
