Daughter of aristocratic family

"Where are Zhou Ye, He Chuan, and Zhao Yin?" The emperor ordered the top pick, the second pick, and the top pick to compare poems and songs with the new talents.

"I'm here." Zhou Ye and the others left the table.

"Your envoy is a guest, so you should ask the question first." The emperor smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The deputy envoy cupped his hands, "As far as I know, in two days it will be the Zhongyuan Festival in Daliang. I invite one of the three talented men to compose a poem with the theme of the Zhongyuan Festival."

The three of Zhou Ye discussed in low voices for a while. Zhou Ye pondered for a moment and said loudly: "When the moon shines during the Zhongyuan Festival, the city is full of fireworks and ghosts. The purple smoke rises from the sacrificial incense, and the wandering ghosts fall asleep late. The music and songs are frightening in the middle of the night. In the dream, the streets were illuminated by lights and ancient temples were illuminated. Offerings and incense filled the world, and the path of reincarnation took its own course."

As soon as Zhou Ye's poem was spoken, the whole room was full of praise.

Zhao Yin wrote out the poem he recited. The eunuch picked it up and showed it to everyone. The handwriting on it was flying and dancing.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, okay."

The deputy envoy could not find any fault with the poem, so he had to ask the emperor to come up with a title.

"A few days ago was the Chinese Valentine's Day, so I would like to invite the talents of your country to use the Chinese Valentine's Day as the theme." The emperor smiled.

The deputy envoy glanced at the three talented men in Xinshao and asked them to come out and recite a poem.

"The moon is hazy during the Qixi Festival, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl cross the Milky Way. They meet on the Magpie Bridge with deep affection, and the tears of lovesickness are covered with frost on the clothes. Love is lingering in human affairs, and time passes naturally." said the talented man with a beautiful beard in Xinshao.

This poem is also good. The emperor and his deputy envoys took turns writing the topic, and asked six talented people to take turns writing poems.

The poems written by both sides were equally good, and the emperor smiled and said: "The scholar from Xinshao is really talented. I came and gave him three glasses of wine as a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three talented men from Xinshao saluted.

Seeing that he still couldn't defeat Daliang, the deputy envoy was dissatisfied and said, "Your Majesty, I occasionally got a couplet, but I can't match the second couplet. I wonder if the three talents can match up?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me the first couplet." The emperor had great confidence in his three ministers.

The deputy envoy cleared his throat and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the following couplet is: The sword dances in all directions, with a sword in hand, the shadow of the sword dances in awe."

The emperor looked at Zhou Ye and the other two people. He Chuan was the first to respond, "The chess moves across the nine states, and the group of players competes for the lead. The chess game changes."

"Not bad, not bad." The emperor nodded with a smile, feeling that the second line was quite right.

Zhao Yin also responded to the second couplet, "A rising dragon shakes the world, a dragon ascends to the sky, and a dragon threatens the world."

"Okay, okay." The emperor cheered repeatedly.

The emperor calls himself the real dragon emperor, and the dragon threatens the world. This shows the majesty and momentum of the imperial power, and the emperor is more satisfied with this second line.

"The chess pieces fall all over the ground, black and white blend together, and the rhyme of chess is passed down through the ages." Zhou Ye also wrote the second couplet.

The deputy envoy said with a fake smile: "The three talented men answered each other fluently, which is really admirable. Your Majesty, please write the first couplet."

"If they come up with the second couplet, let them come up with the first couplet." The emperor suddenly couldn't think of the difficulty and simply handed the matter over to Zhou Ye and the others.

The first couplet written by Zhou Ye: "The wind blows through the ancient trees, thousands of leaves fall to the ground, and the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves."

The three talents from Xinshao each wrote the second couplet, which was also quite neat.

He Chuan's first couplet: "Thousands of valleys, thousands of rocks, deep trees, a lonely boat moored at night painted in the sand."

The three talents from Xinshao faced each other again and were not stumped.

It was Zhao Yin's turn to write the first couplet, and he suddenly remembered the first couplet that Zhao Wangshu once made difficult for him to write, "The bright moon shines on the screen window, and Zhuge Liang is bright in everyone."

This first couplet has profound meaning and is extremely difficult.

Zhou Ye and He Chuan quietly gave him a thumbs up, while the three talented people in Xinshao frowned. This second link was not right.

The deputy envoy saw that the talented people were still unable to correct the second couplet, and he was so angry that he said, "This first couplet is very good. I wonder if your lord can correct the second couplet?" If Zhao Yin cannot correct the second couplet, Zhao Yin will be in trouble. Pass.

Zhao Yin smiled slightly and said, "The second line, any woman in Daliang can do it right."

His words made the emperor feel very comfortable. Seeing this, the queen said, "Girls, don't be reserved. Show your talents. I will reward you generously."

Song Yuanqu waited for a while, and when she saw that Zhao Wangshu had no intention of stepping forward, she stepped forward to help her fiancé, "The sky reflects the moonlight, and all of them are like Sima Yi."

This second line incorporates the name of Zhuge Liang's great rival Sima Yi into it, which is a perfect fit.

Zhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was the second couplet of a Song and Yuan song. After he said that sentence, he regretted it.

Although Yun Hao is here, if Prince Pa Zhuo falls in love with his sister and the Queen goes along with the situation and proposes a marriage, then he will definitely be blamed for his death.

Fortunately, Song Yuanqu came forward to save the situation. Zhao Yin felt very lucky and looked at Song Yuanqu gratefully.

After listening to the songs of Song and Yuan Dynasties, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

The emperor nodded slightly, "What a talented woman."

Song and Yuan Qu said humbly: "My daughter is showing off her ugliness."

The deputy envoy saw that Bi Wen was no match, so he thought of other tricks, "Your Majesty, there has never been a first in Wen or a second in Wu. I heard that all Daliang generals are brave and good at fighting, so why not Bi Bi."

The emperor agreed enthusiastically, "Go to the school field tomorrow to compete."

By this time, the dust-washing banquet was about to end, but the Queen spoke, "Your Majesty, Prince Padro comes here with sincerity. You must help him choose a good marriage."

At this time, Prince Pa Zhuo was asking Prince Xianli about Song and Yuan Qu. When he learned that Song and Yuan Qu had been engaged, and the wedding date was just one month later, he didn't ask any more questions.

The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "That's no problem. Since the prince is determined to propose marriage, he must be matched with a peerless beauty. I wonder if the prince has a girl he likes?"

Padro stood up, saluted and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty."

The queen's eyes flashed slightly, "Your Majesty, Prince Padro is a distinguished guest. This matter concerns the royal family's face. Why don't you let me, as the prince, choose a beautiful lady?"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." The emperor didn't think much about it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of this matter." The Queen smiled.

After the cleansing banquet, everyone left the palace and went home.

The next day, the morning light first came, and the flags on the school field were blown by the wind.

There were many people in the stands, and the emperor and empress, as well as Daliang's civil servants and generals, were all present.

Zhao Wangshu, Song Yuanqu, Yao Shanzhi and others are together, slightly to the side.

Seeing that Prince Padro was also wearing a military uniform, the emperor asked: "Prince also wants to compete?"

Prince Padro saluted and said, "The little king's riding and shooting skills are pretty good. I want to show it to His Majesty."

The three people participating in the competition on Daliang's side were Chen Xiao, Yao Zhen and Yun Hao. The three escorts last time made the emperor trust them more and firmly believed that they would win.

In addition to Prince Pazhuo, there are two other tall and strong generals on Xinshao's side.

Both sides bowed their hands and exchanged names, "Chen Xiao", "Yao Zhen" and "Yun Hao".

"Padro", "Dawa", "Tsering".

First, there was a one-on-one fight.

Six people drew lots, Chen Xiao vs. Dawa, Yao Zhen vs. Tsering, and Yun Hao vs. Prince Padro.
