"Of course we're starting from scratch." Zheng Mingzhu showed a strange smile on his face.

In fact, poetry gatherings on weekdays always start with the loser, but with so many people present, it would take a long time to complete a circle. Even if this idiot can't catch it, he won't lose a few times.

How is that possible?

It was necessary to start from the beginning. This bitch relied on the favor of the regent and sat below the princess. It was best not to be able to pick her up as soon as she arrived, and they only had to watch the fun on the side.

When she loses and can't get any silver out, she has to fulfill a requirement above.

"Then if someone keeps failing, wouldn't that mean they keep losing? Since it's a game, you can quit, right?" Shangguan Yao rolled her eyes.

Zheng Mingzhu was stunned. She didn't expect that this little bitch had guessed her plan and wanted to withdraw? How is that possible!

Zheng Mingzhu was about to say something when she was interrupted by the Seventh Princess: "It's just a game. You can't quit or not. We are all ladies. How can we not afford to play a game? Don't you think so?"

The seventh princess was beside her, looking at Shangguan Yao with a guilty look on her face as she kept asking questions to delay the time. She became a little impatient and said with a final word without any doubt:

"However, you probably haven't participated in this kind of poetry meeting, and we won't bully you. If someone can't catch her, you can jump over her and let the next person pick her up. If you go around in a circle, no one can catch her. , then the next round will start with the loser."

"Of course!" The seventh princess paused, glanced at Shangguan Yao with disdain, straightened her hair, and continued:

"If someone picks up, the loser can choose to give one hundred taels to the previous player and start from the beginning, or give five hundred taels to each of the previous player and the person who picks up, and start the second round from the loser."

"I think the princess's proposal is very good," Xie Yuyan couldn't hide the smile on her face and quickly agreed.

"My daughter also agrees." Zheng Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yao provocatively, and like a victorious rooster, she returned to her seat with pride, ready to start the game.

"Your Highness, let's get started. Who knows that Your Highness, the Seventh Princess of the Northern Ming Dynasty, is very talented, and I can't wait to hear His Highness's poems." Another official lady found every opportunity to flatter her.

Who doesn’t know that the seventh princess is talented?

I really do not know.

Shangguan Yao raised her eyelids in amusement and glanced lazily at the toady.

"Okay, then I will say the first sentence." The seventh princess was very impressed by the flatterer's compliment. After thinking for a while, she spoke confidently:

"It's not that I prefer chrysanthemums among flowers, it's that there are no flowers when all the flowers bloom."

"What a poem!" The flatterer took the lead in applauding and praising him.

"Miss, it's your turn to take the responsibility." Xie Yuyan reminded Shangguan Yao with a look of gloating.

"Flower? Flower..." Shangguan Yao lowered his head pretending to be distressed.

My heart is almost overjoyed.

Isn't it just memorizing poetry?

She didn't even need to use a computer to check something so non-technical. Not to mention the ancient poems in Chinese language classes from childhood to adulthood, the three hundred Tang poems in elementary school were enough to cope with them.

"You can't even pick up this, right? If you can't pick it up, you can..." Zheng Mingzhu looked at Shangguan Yao with a troubled face, and the smile on her lips was harder to suppress than AK.

However, before she could finish her joy, Shangguan Yao's voice successfully put the smile on her face.

"The flowers are floating and the water is flowing. One place is longing for lovesickness, and two places are idle." Shangguan Yao smiled, imitating Xie Yuyan's expression just now, and said to Zheng Mingzhu: "Miss, it's your turn to take over."

Now, not only Zheng Mingzhu, but also the other ladies in the palace looked at Shangguan Yao in surprise.

She was able to pick it up?

And Xie Yuyan clenched her hands tightly and stared at Shangguan Yao in disbelief.

how come?

How could she pick it up?

Moreover, she had never read this poem in a book, which meant that she was not reciting the content from the book.

This also shows that she is not just literate, but has been taught by a serious master.

Could it be that she is not an ordinary village girl? But which lady?

Although they are all young ladies in the boudoir, they also know that in an ordinary family, it takes almost all the efforts of the whole family to provide a scholar, and women cannot go to school.

Only ladies from high-ranking families can afford to be taught by female teachers.

This is also a symbol of their status.

"You won't be able to pick it up, right? No way?" Shangguan Yao looked at Zheng Mingzhu in surprise, and gently covered her slightly opened lips with her hand.

"I..." Zheng Mingzhu didn't expect that she would be able to catch up. She couldn't remember the poem that started with the word "sorrow" for a moment, and she just froze there.

"If you can't remember, you can admit defeat or skip it." Shangguan Yao suggested thoughtfully.

Zheng Mingzhu's face suddenly turned blue and white with embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and took out a one hundred tael silver note from her arms and slapped it on the table. He said harshly: "I was just too surprised for a moment, and my mind went blank. I started over. This time I am serious. This is one hundred taels, and I can afford to lose."

"Okay, thank you young lady for your permission." Shangguan Yao smiled and took the banknote that the palace maid took from Zheng Mingzhu.

"Then I will continue." The seventh princess didn't expect Shangguan Yao to be able to take over, so she didn't think much about Zheng Mingzhu's excuse.

However, since this little bitch can catch it, it means that she still has two brushes. It seems that she can only use her trump card.

The seventh princess lowered her head and glanced secretly under the cover of the table in front of her. She had already sent someone to copy the poems.

Taking advantage of it, he straightened his chest and said loudly: "Thousands of sails are passing by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees are springing in front of the diseased tree."

Almost as soon as the Seventh Princess's voice fell, Shangguan Yao's voice resounded throughout the hall: "Spring flowers and spring months visit us every year, but we love spring but are afraid of leaving in spring."

"Don't... don't..." Seeing Shangguan Yao pick up again, Zheng Mingzhu's eyes flashed with panic, and she looked at the seventh princess helplessly.

She can't catch it!

Although she could compose some simple poems, she was not able to speak them in a coherent manner.

Others didn't know it, but she knew that even the seventh princess had someone copy the poems and bring them with her before the banquet started.

Normally, her banquet wouldn't go through at all. She just had to start, recite a sentence, and that was it. Even if she can spin around in a circle, the princess will be surrounded by her confidants. Even if she can catch it, she will not catch it. Therefore, the princess has never lost.

And those who lose have no defense. Usually, the loss is just a bet of ten taels of silver, and starting from the loser, one person can't lose much after a round.

When the seventh princess saw Zheng Mingzhu's plea for help, she could only pretend she hadn't seen it and quietly turned her head.

Because she couldn't pick it up either.

There was no other way. Zheng Mingzhu gritted her teeth and stiffly took out a hundred taels of silver notes from her arms.

I feel so distressed that I almost bleed.

You know, she doesn't have many shares. These two hundred taels are also her private money that she has saved for a long time.

"This lady is really a nice person. She knew that it was my first time to participate, but she made such a generous offer. I was really embarrassed to accept it." Shangguan Yao quickly took the banknote from the palace maid's hand and stuffed it into her arms. I couldn't tell that she was embarrassed.

"Why don't we change the rules and start with the loser." Xie Yuyan frowned slightly when she saw that Zheng Mingzhu failed to match up in two consecutive games.

This was not okay. What she wanted to see was the woman being embarrassed, but she didn't want to offend Zheng Mingzhu.

His father is still working for Zheng Mingzhu's father.

"Oh? Didn't the Seventh Princess say it's just a game? Miss Zheng can't afford it anymore? Did she ask her little sister to stand up to her?" How could Shangguan Yao be so willing? She was enjoying the money.

Although she was not short of money, when she saw the person who was causing trouble for her, her face twitched with distress, and she almost laughed.

"No need to change! I can afford to lose, continue!" Zheng Mingzhu glared at Xie Yuyan fiercely.

eventful!

"Then, princess please?" Shangguan Yao turned her head and smiled excitedly at the seventh princess.

"Well." A dark confusion flashed through the seventh princess's eyes, and she still had a decent smile on her face. She took out her trump card: "I'm going to make it more difficult now. I'll write out a complete poem, and you have to press A complete pair of poems.”

She couldn't believe that this little bitch could use her last word as the beginning to compose a poem so quickly!

Thinking of this, the Seventh Princess confidently read out the best poem she had sent in advance:

“Thousands of miles of yellow clouds are shining in the white sun, and the north wind is blowing the geese and snow.

Don't worry, there will be no friends in the future. No one in the world will know you. "

Now, it was Shangguan Yao's turn to be surprised. This poem was not...

Yes, this is an imaginary dynasty. It is not surprising that it can be done. Maybe it was done by Gao Shi from parallel time and space.

But don’t worry, just like the well-known Li Bai, even if someone comes to his era and speaks his poems in advance, Li Bai’s talent is still there and does not hinder his innovation.

It is estimated that the difficulty of exams in future generations will increase again.

"Miss, are you finding it difficult?" The seventh princess looked at Shangguan Yao with a half-smile.

Bitch, you still want to be in the limelight.

"It's okay." Shangguan Yao came back to her senses and looked at the seventh princess with a meaningful expression.

If her guess was correct, this poem was definitely not written by the seventh princess herself.

Well, the same goes for the few sentences just now.

Now, she doesn't have to feel guilty about being defeated.

What a psychological burden.

Nothing!
