Sheng Zhiyao had to lower his head and warn Feng Yuanchen in a very small voice: "You are serious, look over."

Feng Yuanchen glanced at her, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head to drink tea to hide his naughtiness.

This scene fell on Manrou's eyes, and it almost stinged her eyes.

"Alright, alright, let's start the poetry meeting." The emperor broke the embarrassment in time, "Today's poetry will be the queen's mother, but she has prepared a heavy reward."

Everyone immediately complimented and flattered: "The grass people will wait and see, I hope the queen will not be stingy."

Sheng Zhiyao's eyes also widened excitedly, looking forward to the queen's heavy reward.

The queen's reward must be unusual, I wonder what she will come up with?

"Don't worry, everyone." The queen smiled lightly, "I will never let you down."

As soon as the words fell, a palace maid came up with a tray.

The tray is covered with red silk to hide the contents inside.

"The Queen Mother is so generous." Someone laughed.

The rest of the crowd chimed in.

Sheng Zhiyao was even more curious, and couldn't wait to stretch out her head to look, but she didn't dare to lift the red cloth because of the rules.

Even if you uncover it, what can you see? It is nothing more than pearls, jade, jade, ancient books of calligraphy and painting, etc.

Sheng Zhiyao was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard the queen's mother say with a smile: "Since it is a literary meeting, then you might as well compete with poetry, the winner will be rewarded, let's see, which poem is the best, who wins this literary meeting, this palace will grant him a wish."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and there were whispers and discussions for a while, and most people's eyes were full of eagerness.

"How about adding the contents of this brocade box?" The queen mother added with a smile, "No matter who it is, you can make any request, as long as it is not unfavorable to Shang Zhou, this palace will agree."

This sentence was like a bomb thrown into a pond and detonated the entire pond.

The emperor smiled and bowed.

The queen looked around the audience: "Do you have any opinions?"

"Niangniang is benevolent and loving, and the grass people are grateful to Dade." Everyone bowed down and said.

The queen nodded with a smile and raised her hand to uncover the red silk.

Suddenly the room was full of brilliance.

I saw two pieces of paper placed in the brocade box on the tray: "This is the title deed of the two shops on Pingle Street, and this is still the dowry given to me by my father in the palace when I married into the royal family, so it is regarded as today's lottery head."

This is.... What is the so-called bet?

Sheng Zhiyao's eyes widened in surprise, the shop on Pingle Street, isn't this exactly what she wants?

The queen's gaze fell on Sheng Zhiyao's face, and she asked with a smile, "Zhiyao, do you like this color?"

Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "Of course I like it, Grandma Huang is generous."

The queen laughed and reached out to touch her bun.

This motherly appearance makes people feel solemn.

"Queen Mother, you're a bully." A noble girl couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can you just ask the Yongchen County Lord."

After saying this, the originally lively hall suddenly quieted down, and many people's eyes fell on Sheng Zhiyao.

The emperor also raised his eyebrows and looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "Zhiyao, are you also participating?"

"If you go back to the emperor's grandfather, of course the courtiers have to participate." Sheng Zhiyao agreed without hesitation, "Although the courtiers are still young, they have also read books, maybe they are not inferior to some of the people present, this time they must live up to the love of the imperial grandmother and the imperial grandfather."

The emperor laughed: "Okay, then compare."

As soon as I heard this, I knew who it was, and sure enough, everyone's eyes turned to look at Yu Manrou who was standing in the middle, with a complicated expression, or regret or schadenfreude or jealousy.

Yu Manrou didn't expect that she would become a target, she looked shy and lowered her head.

Sheng Zhiyao smiled sweetly at her.

Yu Manrou couldn't help biting her lip when she saw her smile.

"Your Majesty, the queen, the courtiers have something to say."

Everyone was stunned and looked at the woman who spoke, exactly

Fu the general's daughter, Fu Yuying.

"Yuying." The queen frowned.

Fu Yuying had already bent her knees and squatted to give a salute, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, since it is a Wenhui, there must always be a rule of the Wenhui, the courtiers suggest that with the points system, five people will draw lots for each game, and the winner can decide the winner in one game, and the winner can accumulate one point.

Her voice is crisp and pleasant, and a little delicate, and she speaks clearly, quite organized, and reasonable.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and they thought it was good.

"That's a good idea." Someone admired.

"According to the courtiers, this method is very fair." Another noble lady laughed.

The emperor looked at the queen and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Since everyone agrees, let's do it this way, the previous screening has the five people in the lottery to evaluate themselves, and the final winner is decided by me, the queen and everyone." He groaned for a moment before he spoke.

This result is undoubtedly the best solution, and everyone claims to be good.

The queen smiled and instructed Mama Rong beside her to prepare.

But after a while, the poetry competition began.

Draw lots first, sort in order, Sheng Zhiyao was very unlucky, the fourth round of the lottery actually drew the second place, Yu Manrou was sixth, the first place was the son of the Earl's Court, and Sheng Zhiyao's opponent was a young man named Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's poems are also very exquisite, Sheng Zhiyao wrote a poem after a little thought, but obviously Lin Hai was superior, and Sheng Zhiyao was defeated.

This result is not surprising to everyone, after all, Sheng Zhiyao is too young, and Lin Hai is not bad.

Although Sheng Zhiyao lost, she was not angry in her heart, but breathed a sigh of relief, because she finally didn't have to entangle with this Lin Hai.

But to her surprise, Lin Hai glanced at her as she walked off the stage, and the kind of gaze that seemed to have a deep meaning made her a little uneasy, and as the game continued, this confusion slowly faded. qs

The result of the competition was not outstanding, Sheng Zhiyao was indeed a little smart, but her luck was not very good, except for a poem in third place that made her show her face a little, and she basically had no chance to perform in the back.

However, Yu Manrou's poems attracted a lot of applause and applause.

"It seems that Manrou has indeed studied hard."

Yu Man thanked everyone shyly, stepped aside, and the queen's eyes also looked at her, nodded with a smile, and signaled that she was good.

Sheng Zhiyao was still wandering, and Sheng Hangu suddenly ran over: "Sister, what are you doing here?"

Sheng Zhiyao put away her thoughts and shook her head with a smile: "My brother doesn't understand, my sister is watching the game."

Sheng Hangu sighed: "How does that sister look, is she sure to win the championship?"

Sheng Zhiyao smiled, "Of course."

"Then you're idle here, and you've lost a few games, what do you mean?" Sheng Hangu glared and accused.
