Hearing that the emperor and the concubine were coming together, the queen's face changed slightly, but soon, it returned to normal.

As soon as the voice of the eunuch fell, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe appeared in front of everyone with the concubine, the crown prince, and the eldest prince.

When the people saw this, they immediately knelt down and saluted:

"Courtiers/daughters see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Hahaha...... Let's all get up~"

The emperor waved his hand and said loudly, his voice listening to it, full of energy.

After everyone heard the emperor's words, they set off.

The emperor strode up to the queen, and the queen bowed slightly to the emperor with a smile and said:

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

And when the concubine saw the queen, she only bowed down shallowly.

"Queen, where are you going?"

The emperor took the empress's hand and sat down together, looking like a loving husband and wife...... If Xu Guifei is not there.

"Your Majesty, you came just in time, these girls are about to start chanting poetry."

The queen pointed to the girls standing next to the flowers and smiled.

When the emperor heard this, he was also interested, looked at a few people with interest, and said happily:

"Go on, and I'll listen too."

After hearing the emperor's words, the queen put her eyes on Shen Jiayin's body and signaled that she could start.

Seeing this, Shen Jiayin looked up at the emperor and queen, and said indifferently:

"The courtiers praise the peony flower today."

"The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate; Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. ”

Shen Jiayin's words fell gently, but they confused everyone's hearts.

Originally, everyone looked at Shen Jiayin and frowned, thinking that she couldn't write a good poem, but who knew that she actually came directly to a Wang Bang and asked her to be the first to recite, and everyone else didn't dare to continue to read the poems she composed.

The crown prince, who was originally absent-minded, was also shocked by Shen Jiayin at this time, he looked up at Shen Jiayin in the crowd, a blue dress was extremely eye-catching, and the confident and proud light on her body made her even more different.

At this moment, this touch of blue hit the prince's heart and subverted his perception of Shen Jiayin in his heart.

Liu Ruyan on the side saw that the prince only had Shen Jiayin in his eyes, and she was even more angry in her heart, she was about to be blown up.

"Good! A good one, only the peony is really a national color! ”

The emperor looked at Shen Jiayin in admiration, he never thought that Shen Jiayin would be able to make such a wonderful sentence.

"Sure enough, she is worthy of being the daughter of Shen Guogong! It's very the style of the old man! ”

Shen Jiayin bowed his head slightly, and replied without arrogance:

"The courtiers thank the emperor for complimenting."

Seeing the emperor praising Shen Jiayin like this, Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still, she took the initiative to stand up, looked directly at the prince, but pretended to be reserved and said:

"What the courtiers praise today is begonia flowers."

"The courtiers feel that the begonia flower is fresh and elegant, and it is a very vital flower."

At this time, everyone didn't care about what Liu Ruyan said, they just felt that it was a very rude for a woman to look at the prince directly in front of the public, just like a woman in the fence.

The emperor's eyes looked at Liu Ruyan more and more deeply, and he couldn't tell whether he liked or hated it.

And Liu Ruyan was still chanting to herself:

"In the autumn breeze of the flowers, the blue pole dew is faint, the green pole is sad to go as a begonia, and the acacia has been infinite since ancient times."

Begonia and Acacia are a good poem, but Liu Ruyan's eyes have always stayed on the prince's body, so that everyone has to reverie.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor has been silent after hearing this, and even the queen's face is not very good.

For a moment, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

Even Mrs. Liu, who thought that her daughter's poem was excellent, noticed everyone's strangeness and immediately became nervous.

Mrs. Xu's eyes when she looked at Liu Ruyan were even more disdainful, and she didn't know what the prince liked about her Liu Ruyan, and her daughter Xu Zhinian was better than her Liu Ruyan, I don't know how many times.

But this made Xu Guifei on the side happy, she liked to see the prince and the queen unhappy the most, she looked at Liu Ruyan approvingly, and said:

"Begonias are paired with acacia, and this concubine is also the first time to hear it, isn't it usually red beans to send acacia?"

Seeing the nervousness on Liu Ruyan's face, the noble man smiled lightly again and continued:

"But it's not abrupt, this poetry concubine likes it~"

"Thank you for your compliment."

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and thanked the concubine.

When the concubine saw it, she smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, the palace maid stood up at the right time and said:

"Next~ Miss Xu."

After Xu Zhinian heard the palace maid call his name, he stood up, looked at everyone and said:

"What the courtiers praise today is the chrysanthemum."

"The autumn bushes are like pottery, and the edge of the fence is becoming more and more oblique. It's not that chrysanthemums are favored in flowers, and this flower is even more flowerless. ”

After Xu Zhinian finished speaking, he stood there obediently, quiet and graceful.

After the queen heard it, she also nodded approvingly, Xu Zhinian's poem is not particularly outstanding, but there are no more other miscellaneous thoughts, which is also commendable.

followed by Xiao Qianqian and Xu Ziying, both of whom said all the poems they had in mind, but they were not as brilliant as Shen Jiayin, but they were not as sensitive and metaphorical as Liu Ruyan.

In the end, when it was Ji Wanyi's turn, she took the initiative to bow her head and said softly:

"The courtiers implore the emperor and the queen to forgive their sins, and the courtiers feel that they are only shallow in their learning, and the poems they make are difficult to compare with the ladies, and the courtiers will not be ugly."

The concubine squinted and glanced at Ji Wanyi, and when she saw that it was a face, she withdrew her eyes.

Ji Wanyi's status is low, and no one will pay too much attention to her, and after seeing her abstain, no one will say anything.

When the palace maid saw that everyone had read out the verses, she gave the palace maids below a look and asked them to collect everyone's choices.

And the queen also looked at the emperor and asked with a smile:

"The emperor listened to everyone's recitation, and who did he think wrote the best poems?"

After hearing the queen's question, the emperor smiled, turned to look at the crown prince and the eldest prince on the side, and asked:

"Crown prince, eldest prince, what do you think?"

After hearing the emperor's question, the prince looked at Liu Ruyan with a little hesitation.

Today, my father specially called himself over, and he was still on the way here, asking himself if he liked to paint more or to have more jade.

In fact, where is the father asking whether he likes painting or jade, he clearly wants to ask himself, whether he wants the position of the crown prince or Liu Ruyan.

The truth that the country is picturesque and the beauty is like jade has been understood since he was a child.

Seeing that the crown prince was silent, the eldest prince took the initiative to stand up and said respectfully:

"Father, son-in-law thinks that Shen Jiayin's peony poems are the best."

"The peony of the king of ten thousand flowers, it is indeed when the flowers bloom, and the name moves the capital, and the other flowers are also slightly inferior."

Although the eldest prince had a smile in his mouth, but at this moment, in his heart, he was extremely resentful, Shen Jiayin had such an identity and such a background, but his father only thought about pointing her to the prince, and did not think about pointing it to himself at all, how could he not be resentful?

But the opinion of the eldest prince is not what the emperor is most concerned about, and the most important thing about today's trip is the prince's heart.

"Prince, what do you think?"

The emperor set his eyes on the crown prince again, and there was another person who was the most nervous at this time, Liu Ruyan over there, she looked at the prince expectantly, hoping that he could say a good word about himself.

And Shen Jiayin stood in place with a relaxed expression, not caring about the result at all.

Everyone was waiting for the prince's answer, and the prince suddenly felt a lot of pressure, so he had to raise his head, look at the emperor, and respond softly:

"Erchen also thinks that the poems written by Miss Shen are excellent."

Seeing that the crown prince could say this, the emperor's face softened a lot.

Hearing this, Shen Jiayin hooked her lips and smiled, she was not happy that she was praised, but laughed at the prince, laughing at how much he liked someone, he could only bow to power.

Also, who would give up the country for the sake of beauty?

But Liu Ruyan was different, after she heard the prince's words, she looked at the prince with a hurt look, she didn't expect the prince to say this.

Under his own deliberate creation, no one in the capital knows who doesn't know, does the prince like himself? But now the prince said in front of the emperor that Shen Jiayin was good, especially when he was still present? Isn't this just a slap in the face?

The more Liu Ruyan thought about it, the more resentful she became, but she didn't dare to show half of it.

The emperor took a deep look at the prince, and then turned his head to look at the queen and said:

"Didn't the queen ask me which poem she thought was well written?"

"The prince's answer is also my answer."

Seeing that the crown prince was finally sensible, the queen was also very pleased, she also looked at the emperor and said:

"The concubine also thinks Jiayin's poems are good."

What the queen's good chant in front of the emperor and everyone represents, everyone present knows very well in their hearts.

"Hiss~"

An inconspicuous voice sounded in Liu Ruyan's hand, and the handkerchief in her hand had been torn by her.

However, this little episode did not attract everyone's attention.

And the big palace maid who got the result walked to the queen's side and said:

"Back to the emperor and queen, Miss Shen got the most votes, and it was Miss Shen's poem that won."

When the queen heard this, she looked at everyone with a smile and said happily:

"It seems that everyone's thoughts are very consistent, and they all think that Shen Jiayin's poems are well-written!"

"But no matter what the result is, the participating ladies will be rewarded!"

The queen looked generously at the ladies standing on the lace, and said one by one:

"Each of the flowers you like, each will be rewarded with two plates."

"In addition, the newly paid Jiangnan silk cloth in the palace will be rewarded with two horses per person, and one Hetian jade per person."

"The minister thanks the queen for the reward."

After listening to the queen's words, several people knelt down and thanked the queen.

"In addition, give Shen Jiayin a set of golden phoenixes on the flying head."

As soon as the queen's words fell, envious eyes fell on Shen Jiayin's body, and there was also a resentful gaze that was extremely hot.
