The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 270 Fairness
As soon as Qin Yajun finished speaking, he saw two young eunuchs in green clothes walking onto the stage.

The one who can command the eunuchs is the emperor, Qin Yajun secretly delighted, it seems that this poem must be so amazing that even the emperor was deeply attracted.

Qin Yajun glanced at Wufeng Tower, then lightly brushed his sleeves, preparing to meet the emperor.

"Miss Qin, I'm sending you back to your residence by order of Your Majesty."

Because the emperor didn't explain anything, the two young eunuchs were quite polite, smiling and bowing to Qin Yajun to speak.

The smile on Qin Yajun's face suddenly froze. According to her expectation, after reciting this poem, shouldn't the emperor summon him?

What went wrong?
The night breeze sent lightly, and the lanterns swayed left and right with the wind, pulling the figures on the ground.

Qin Yajun raised his eyes and looked up to the Wufeng Tower, where the lights were bright, like daytime, casting overlapping shadows onto the platform below.

This Wufeng Tower suddenly stood in front of Qin Yajun like an unattainable mountain.

Through the night, Qin Yajun vaguely saw many people above, standing on the crenel looking down, the person in the middle was dressed in golden clothes, presumably he was the current Emperor Zhengxing.

There were several young people standing beside the emperor, and Qin Yajun saw Lin Zisu among them at first sight.

It was a little far away, Qin Yajun couldn't see it clearly, she just vaguely saw Lin Zisu's face full of sarcasm.

The two stood one high and the other low, reminding Qin Yajun that their identities are very different.

One had been appointed as a princess early on, and now she was accompanying the emperor; the other showed her face all day long, and in the end she had to look at all the eyes of others.

Qin Yajun's heart is full of jealousy, why can this pedantic and shallow Lin Zisu get everything she wants easily?
But she, who has learned from ancient to modern times, knows the ups and downs of the past, but she hits the wall again and again.

This time is obviously a good opportunity that is determined to be obtained, and it is obviously a famous poem through the ages. Why is it that no one is moved when it comes to the emperor or these poor scholars?
Qin Yajun thought of Lin Zisu on the city wall. This so-called "cousin" had always been at odds with him, but she was the emperor's favorite.

She must have said something bad about herself to the emperor, so her poem was so lukewarm.

This made sense, she had just seen that several officials of the Ministry of Rites kept going up and down, and whispered to the officials of Guanglu Temple next to the crown prince.

Not to mention, at this moment, there were more than a dozen guards in armor interspersed among the crowd, and no one dared to make any noise at all.

Qin Yajun felt more and more that Lin Zisu must have been the hindrance for her being left out tonight.

She was extremely angry, so she stopped in her tracks and said loudly to the audience: "Little girl's poem has been prepared for more than a month, so it's up to everyone to judge whether it's right or wrong."

There was a burst of booing from the audience, Qin Yajun heard the booing, thought these people were fighting for himself, and proudly raised his head towards the tower.

"This daughter of the Qin family!"

The emperor slapped the battlements with his palm, and said angrily: "I only gave her face because of the night of mid-autumn today. I didn't expect to be so shameless! Since she is shameless, I don't want to be polite. Come here! Hurry up! The daughter of the Qin family will be sent back to her hometown, and the magistrate will take good care of her!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Cao Shouli didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried away with two burly Dongchang fans.

Qin Yajun complained a few words, and was about to lift his foot to leave when he saw a middle-aged eunuch in bright red walking towards him.

She didn't know Cao Shouli, but seeing the reactions of all the officials, she also knew that the eunuch on the opposite side had a special status.

Seeing Cao Shouli's stern face and the wind under his feet, she thought that the emperor had changed his mind, and she was secretly happy. She saluted Cao Shouli and said, "This father-in-law, is he here to uphold justice?"

Cao Shouli just sneered and waved his hands behind him.

The two fans behind him understood, and immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, clamping Qin Yajun's arms.

This change not only exceeded the expectations of everyone in the audience, but also completely exceeded Qin Yajun's expectations.

Qin Yajun had only heard about Dongchang's viciousness in the past, but had never dealt with Dongchang before, so he wanted to argue a few words.

Caught off guard, her arm was twisted to the back by two hands, and a piercing pain spread throughout her body in an instant.

Qin Yajun was inexplicably horrified, and said loudly: "What crime have I committed, how dare you treat me like this? I want to go to the government to sue you! I want to see Your Majesty!"

Cao Shouli didn't bother to pay attention to Qin Yajun, and shouted: "A mere civilian girl, still want to disturb Shengjia? Shut her mouth and take her away!"

A fan took out a sweat towel from his arms and strangled it into Qin Yajun's mouth without any explanation.

The other fan half pushed and half embraced, pushing Qin Yajun several steps away at once.

The officials sitting in the audience didn't seem to notice this, and they all drank with their heads down, until Cao Shouli and the two followers went away, and then began to discuss in a low voice.

Several scholars standing outside watched Qin Yajun being taken away by Cao Shouli, and immediately talked about their thoughts.

"Let me just say, this Qin Yajun is just a girl in a boudoir. It's no wonder that she was able to write such poems by plagiarizing them!"

A blue-clothed scholar has always been critical of Qin Yajun's publicity, and he is not polite when speaking, but these words have aroused the dissatisfaction of several scholars around him.

"Plagiarism? Brother, can you speak? Miss Qin is paying tribute to the University of Su, can that be called plagiarism?"

"At the Zhongqiu Poetry Festival, I didn't say that I would not be allowed to recite other people's poems. Dongchang couldn't help but take people away like this. It's really a disgrace!"

"You can tell from her appearance that Miss Qin is a talented person. How can she plagiarize other people's poems? Miss Qin just read Su Dongpo's poem for the occasion, so she recited it to everyone. What a beautiful day..."

As the scholar said, he lowered his voice and said with hatred: "It's just that those eunuchs are ruined!"

"With Miss Qin's talent, if she writes it, she may not be much worse than Su Dongpo. It's just that Miss Qin thinks Zhuyu is the first, so she uses his words."

Another gray-clothed scholar said angrily: "Exactly! Miss Qin thinks highly of him by using this poem by Su Dongpo!"

Su Dongpo was a well-known talented man in the previous dynasty. He left many famous works through the ages for later generations. He also made quite a lot of achievements in the officialdom.

Even if several scholars expressed sympathy for Qin Yajun, their voices stopped abruptly as soon as these words came out, and they all glared at the gray-clothed scholar.

The gray-clothed scholar also felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he said with a sneer: "My brother was momentarily indignant, and that's why he slipped his words. Don't blame everyone."
