Chapter 45: Winning the First Place
"Okay, you said I plagiarized, right! If I were to make two poems on the spot, would you recognize them? Shen Xi was really angry with the book in front of him.
"As long as you can make two more poems on the spot, you will be number one." Before the scholar could speak, the emperor, who had been sitting above, opened the golden mouth, he wanted to see what other poems Shen Xi could make.
When the emperor opened his mouth, naturally no one dared to speak.
Shen Xi immediately took out a pen and wrote it on rice paper, this time it was handed over to the emperor after reading it by the governor, who knew that the emperor was overjoyed after reading it.
"I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable." After the emperor read this sentence, he was very happy, although he sat on this throne and stood on the highest place in the world, but how many days and nights did he tremble and fear, people in high places, there will be losses and gains.
Shen Xi also created a song "When I Decided to Live Like This", which was completely her sudden inspiration, written about her heart, after all, she suddenly switched from modern to ancient, there are still a lot of things that are not adaptable, and if she comes, she will be safe, this is her only choice.
The emperor took the poem and stood up, "This year's questions are all from me, and no one knows what I will do, so Miss Shen has no chance to prepare, let alone plagiarize." These two poems, the style is completely different, and they were also written temporarily, do you still have any questions? ”
The emperor spoke magnificently, and his words revealed his appreciation for Shen Xi.
"At this year's Literary and Cultural Cooperation, I announced that Shen Xi is the first place, you scholars who have had the opportunity to study, go back and read again, don't know nothing yourself, and come here to accuse others."
As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone was convinced, and there were many people who had read Shen Xi's villain book, and they praised her again and again.
Shen Xi won the first place, she was so happy, but until everyone was about to disperse, she didn't hear anyone announce what the reward was?
She quickly grabbed the governor and looked at him with a blank eye, "My lord, didn't you say that there is a reward?" Why didn't the folk girl see anything? ”
"The emperor temporarily changed his decision, changed the reward of five hundred taels, and said that you should enter the palace tonight and have a banquet with him and the princes." The governor looked at Shen Xi, "This is a rare opportunity, how many people can't look forward to eating with the emperor, you have to cherish it." ”
The governor's serious words did not have any effect on Shen Xi, is it a very happy thing to dine with the emperor and the prince?
She needed the five hundred taels of silver even more.
Shen Xi was still crying and mourning a face and was taken to the palace.
After entering the palace, Shen Xi really felt what was splendid, and only then did she feel how long the road in the palace was, she sat in the carriage and leaned out half of her whole body, so extravagant and luxurious, no wonder how many women wanted to enter the palace as the emperor's concubine, and how many people tried their best to sit on the throne.
Any of these objects should be very valuable!
Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi have been sitting in the carriage and following Shen Xi, she has never seen the world, she looks very funny, Chang Yi has never seen a girl enter the palace like this.
Because the banquet had not yet started, after the guards sent Shen Xi to her, they told her to look around first, and then the banquet began to call her.
"Girl, don't go too far, just walk around the garden, there are many places here that you can't enter without permission." The guard was not at ease, and ordered again.
Shen Xi nodded again and again, but she thought about where she should go out with something, her five hundred taels of silver was lost because of this meal, it was really a bit of a loss, and she had to get the book back.
This palace is so big, you shouldn't be aware of it!
After the guards left, Shen Xi pretended to walk around, she didn't know where she went, anyway, there was a door, and she was advancing in the open.
It was empty, there was no one, there were books and other things everywhere, Shen Xi looked around, trying to see if there was anything valuable.
She had just taken a look at a golden vase and wanted to pull it out, when she heard the sound of the door opening, and she was so frightened that she ran to the bookshelf and hid.
It was the emperor and his eunuch who came in, and Shen Xi thought that it wasn't a palace banquet? What is the emperor doing here at this time? Bad for her good thing.
She didn't have the heart to listen to what the emperor said, she just stared at the vase, golden, how much does it cost! Sure enough, the palace is luxury.
She saw God for a moment and tore down the entire bookshelf.
Then Shen Xi stood there, especially embarrassed to stretch out his hand to greet the emperor, "Your Majesty, hello." ”
"What do you want to do here?" Before the emperor could speak, the eunuch's sharp voice rang out, and Shen Xi only felt harsh.
She stole a glance at the Emperor with a serious look, and then at the fallen bookshelf in front of her.
Only then did she react, and quickly knelt down and asked the emperor for her guilt, "The folk girl is Shen Xi who participated in today's competition, because she came to the palace for the first time and was ignorant, and asked the emperor to forgive her sins." ”
The emperor didn't speak, Shen Xi didn't dare to raise her head, she only felt that her whole body was cold, she wouldn't be killed, right?
I heard that nine out of ten emperors were brutal.
"Your Majesty, are you listening to the people's daughter?" Shen Xi's whole body was trembling, not to mention her voice, she felt that she was about to be scared to pee her pants.
It's just so torturous.
After a long time, the emperor spoke leisurely, "I know you, but you don't wander around, what are you doing in my imperial study?" ”
The Imperial Study?
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter has been poor since she was a child and has never studied, but the people's daughter loves to read very much, so she can't help but come in, and ask the emperor to spare the life of the people's daughter, and the people's daughter still has an aunt to raise at home!" Shen Xi burst into tears, she only hoped that the emperor would believe the lies she made.
Otherwise, she's really finished.
"You really love to read?" The emperor asked again.
"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter really loves to read." Shen Xi also replied very firmly.
"Minlu, go and bring her two of my favorite books."
When Shen Xi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the emperor personally handed the book to Shen Xi, Shen Xi almost fainted, and she got two books inexplicably? But isn't her purpose money?
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness." No matter how reluctant he was in his heart, Shen Xi still accepted it honestly.
She thought, when she goes back, if this book is often read by the emperor, there should be many people rushing to buy it! It should also be able to sell for a good price.
Before Shen Xi left the imperial study, he had already made up the idea of these two books.
She was indeed a rich slave.
After Shen Xi left the imperial study, the emperor gave her an appreciative look again, he had seen many poor students, but he rarely saw a girl who studied so hard.
"Hey, where did you go? Didn't you stop running around? The first thing the guard said when he saw Shen Xi just now was this.
Shen Xi sighed slightly and didn't speak.
