My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Jiang Xiaobai, you..."

Helian Zhaoyue stood up from her chair, staring intently at Jiang Xiaobai, her anger almost bursting forth.

That's right, Jiang Xiaobai's poem at the beginning did indeed sound like it was praising her.

But the further they went, the more something seemed off, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be warning them that Beiyu would be overthrown by Dahua sooner or later.

And this princess of his will become the daughter of a fallen kingdom!

Li Bingzhang stood there, but a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.

It must be said, his son-in-law is truly a genius!

The poem is not only well-written, but it also encapsulates all the actions that Bei Yu has taken over the years.

It looks like a poem being presented, but it's actually an accusation.

The ministers present also wore strange expressions.

The military officers, in particular, were all agitated by what they heard.

That's right, they don't understand any profound poetry or prose, nor do they understand any concept of parallelism or artistic conception.

But they understood Jiang Xiaobai's poem!

So many soldiers died in the North, why should they put aside their hatred and greet people with smiles?

They deserve to be scolded!

"Enough, Jiang Xiaobai!!"

At this moment, Meng Xiutang spoke up, looking at Jiang Xiaobai and saying, "The princess has come as part of an envoy to discuss border market matters!"

"And you are the envoy from both countries on this occasion, to compose such a poem... is rather excessive!"

"Is this going too far?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly: "Alright, since Chief Minister Meng has said so, then... this young master will take it seriously!"

"Let's compose another hymn!"

Ok?

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, the officials in the court were all surprised, but somewhat disbelieving.

Helian Zhaoyue frowned slightly.

Jiang Xiaobai had just been acting as if he wanted to curse Bei Yu to death.

Now I'll obediently write her poems of praise?

Perhaps... something is hidden in the poem!

Jiang Xiaobai didn't explain much. After coughing lightly, his expression became serious.

A calm voice slowly rose: "Clouds yearn for her garments, flowers for her face..."

As soon as the first sentence was uttered, the entire court fell silent.

The expressions of many civil officials changed.

Yun Xiang's clothes are so beautiful.

Without a doubt, these seven short characters perfectly capture the beauty of the woman's clothes and appearance.

Tsk tsk, even the clouds want to be a woman's clothes, and even the flowers want to have a woman's face.

What an amazing line!

Xiao Jinxuan sat on the throne, his gaze shifting slightly.

great poem!

The first sentence alone is already stunning enough.

The eldest princess, sitting beside him, was visibly stunned for a moment, then glared at Jiang Xiaobai with her eyes peeking out from under her veil.

What did this guy say at the Marquis's residence before? Even if he were to write something, it would be for the princess of Dahua.

For example, she was the most beautiful woman in the capital!

The results of it?

This guy still wrote it for someone else, and... he wrote it so well!

Those scoundrels, they're all the same!

Jiang Xiaobai, unaware of the princess's thoughts, spoke again: "The spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy."

This simple sentence caused all the civil and military officials present to gasp in shock once again.

This artistic conception is absolutely amazing!

The spring breeze blows past the railing, making the flowers under the dew even more vibrant.

The two lines together evoke the image of a beautiful woman standing in the spring breeze, her clothes as white as clouds and her face more beautiful than a flower.

Such a description is truly astonishing.

Could it be that Jiang Xiaobai's actions this time were really only directed at Helian Zhaoyue?

"If we hadn't met atop Mount Qunyu..."

Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out again.

And the expressions of some people who had read "Journey to the West" changed again.

Qunyu Mountain, that's a fairyland!

Jiang Xiaobai paused, looked ahead, took a deep breath, and said, "We will meet again under the moon on the Jade Terrace."

After the last sentence was uttered, the court was silent for a moment, followed by a series of exclamations of surprise.

"What a wonderful poem! It is truly a wonderful poem!"

"If not seen atop Mount Qunyu, then met beneath the moon on the Jade Terrace—this compares the person to a fairy!"

Some officials who didn't understand "Qunyu Mountain" and "Yaotai" gradually realized what was going on after being quietly explained by others.

This poem...

I'm sure every woman in the world would love to hear that, right?

Helian Zhaoyue stood there, looking somewhat lost in thought.

She thought Jiang Xiaobai would continue to use poetry to mock her.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a poem of praise.

Moreover, it's that good.

Even though she was angry, her expression softened slightly at that moment.

"hehe!"

A smile returned to Meng Xiutang's face: "So, Young Master Jiang had saved the surprise for last!"

"This poem is indeed excellent!"

"Yeah yeah!"

For a time, the imperial court was filled with praise.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and, as he raised his hand, extended it towards the princess.

Ok?

The eldest princess was visibly stunned after reading it.

What does that mean?

But soon, the princess understood something, hesitated for a moment, and still placed her jade hand on Jiang Xiaobai's hand.

Jiang Xiaobai then gently pulled, and the princess stood up from her chair.

The two of them took two steps forward together.

This scene gradually silenced the discussions in the court.

Helian Zhaoyue frowned again. What was Jiang Xiaobai up to?

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Xiaobai stopped and looked at the assembled officials, speaking with a smile.

"Everyone, please don't misunderstand, this poem..."

Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly, then gestured with his other hand to the princess beside him: "This is a gift from this young master to the princess!"

what?

The words fell.

Everyone in the imperial court was stunned for a moment.

The smile on Meng Xiutang's face froze instantly.

A smile flashed in the princess's eyes, but her face remained calm. She first glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, and then her gentle voice rang out.

"Hehe, I've long wanted Prince Jiang to compose a poem for me!"

"It's just that we haven't found the right opportunity yet!"

The princess paused, then added, "I never expected that Prince Jiang would read it aloud in front of the entire court today!"

"Excellent, Jiang Xiaobai, I greatly admire your poem!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and agreed.

Looking at the other side, Helian Zhaoyue's expression, which had just calmed down, turned cold again. Gritting her teeth, she roared, "Jiang Xiaobai!"

She finally realized that Jiang Xiaobai had been using the guise of writing poetry to play tricks on her from beginning to end!

First, a poem was used to bring up old grievances about Bei Yu. After Meng Xiutang spoke, a truly exquisite poem of praise was presented.

She thought Jiang Xiaobai really gave it to her, but Jiang Xiaobai turned around and told her in front of everyone that this poem... had nothing to do with her!

This was undoubtedly a severe humiliation for her in front of the entire court.

"What, you're angry because it wasn't written for you?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue and sneered, "Heh, are you as beautiful as my Great Hua Princess?"

"Do you have the elegance of my Great Hua Princess?"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai ignored Helian Zhaoyue and pulled the princess back to the chair, sitting down as well.

Then Jiang Xiaobai habitually raised his hand and patted his shoulder twice.

Seeing this action, the eldest princess didn't think much of it and instinctively walked behind Jiang Xiaobai, placing her jade hand on him and gently pinching him.

But the next moment, Jiang Xiaobai froze, and the princess's movements also stopped.

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

Inside the imperial court, all the officials stared at the two in shock.

hiss!

Tang Ningshuang stood below, silently raised her hand to cover her eyes, and lowered her head.

It's unbearable to look at!

Ugh, this is unbearable to look at!
