"Remember, no matter what method you use."

"Yes, I will make Shen Mi lose miserably."

After Shen Shu finished explaining what had happened, she left the dense forest.

Wen Yue's eyes were vicious, and she couldn't help but feel hatred when she thought of the scene when Shen Mi knocked her brother off the horse in the horse field.

"Shen Mi."

"If it weren't for you, how could Xiao Jue be like this now? He has become a complete useless person!"

"Today I will let you have a taste of that feeling."

……

The polo match ended before the result was announced.

After everything calmed down, the dignitaries of Yanjing City gradually arrived.

But today is different from previous years.

At this time of year in previous years, polo matches would determine the winner and there would also be rewards.

This is also the reason why Shen Feng and Shen Yu took Su Xun to play polo.

Unfortunately, neither of them expected that the prince would also participate.

Time passed bit by bit, Shen Mi sat on the chair, holding the teacup and drinking tea.

In less than a moment, a maid walked past her seat and stuffed a small bottle of medicine into her hand.

When the medicine bottle was opened, it was the golden wound medicine inside.

There was a note under the bottle. She opened it and saw the handwriting of the Fourth Master.

'After the Qionghua Banquet, I will take you hunting in the dense forests to the north.'

After closing the note, she looked up at the man's seat opposite her and saw Murong Che leaning on his chair, looking at her nonchalantly.

Seeing that Shen Mi was also looking at him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was clearly a dangerous person, yet Shen Mi had an indescribable feeling.

However, he was going to be disappointed today as he probably wouldn't have the chance to go hunting.

'boom! '

There was a loud bang and the sound of drums shook the sky.

Everyone was attracted by the drum sound again, and soon they saw Eunuch Zhang from the palace coming towards them from a distant path carrying a plate of food.

When everyone looked at it, they could roughly guess that the thing was the wooden sign for selecting the winners.

After Eunuch Zhang arrived, the drums stopped.

The eldest princess stood up from the most honorable seat at the female table and officially announced the start of the women's literary competition at the Qionghua Banquet.

The women lowered their heads and whispered to each other. Then, the maids took the wooden signs and handed them to each woman in her seat.

Shen Mi turned over the wooden sign, which read "Poetry"

He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Li, "Sister, what are you?"

Shen Li turned the wooden sign over and saw the word "画"

Some women's voices came to my ears.

“Mine is a painting.”

“Mine is also a painting.”

"Mine is a zither, why is there no poem?"

"What about yours? What's yours?"

A woman replied: "Qin."

The sound of people whispering could be heard, and Shen Mi's eyes dimmed a little, looking at the wooden sign in his hand with some surprise.

She always felt that this women's literary competition was a little strange.

In previous years, there were more poems, so why are there other categories this year?

She didn't think too much about it and just took the sign.

Not long after, Eunuch Zhang came on stage, glanced at the people in the female seats and said with a smile: "The women's literary competition has officially begun."

"Literature: zither, chess, poetry, and painting."

“Start with poetry.”

"Girls with the wooden signs come on stage."

Shen Mi slowly stood up from the chair, glanced around, and saw that there were only five girls standing up.

The color of her eyes changed slightly, as if she had guessed that the woman's competition was unusual.

In previous years, there were almost ten contestants in each category of music, chess, poetry and painting, but this year there were only five contestants in the poetry competition.

Thinking of the unusual words Shen Shu said when they met him, he frowned.

Her face was calm, she lifted her skirt and slowly walked down the stage.

The women who wrote the poems were all famous ladies from Yanjing City, each with her own strengths, including Fang Banxia, ​​the daughter of the Prime Minister.

When Shen Mi arrived, she saw several people looking at her, accompanied by the sound of people whispering with their heads down.

However, Shen Mi listened to the general idea, which was all about her fiancé being taken away by Shen Shu.

The wooden sign was handed to a young eunuch, and Eunuch Zhang gestured to the eunuch with a smile to open a painting on the stage.

"Today several girls will write poems based on this painting."

Shen Mi looked at the painting. The woman in the painting was wearing a light blue fairy dress and sitting upright on a horse. In her hands was a drawn longbow and a sharp arrow.

The woman had a stunning face, and looking closely at her features, one surprisingly felt that she was somewhat familiar, and her gaze was indeed extremely determined.

One of the women whispered, "Why do I feel that the woman in the painting looks so much like Miss Shen?"

As the voice fell, several women looked at Shen Mi at the same time.

At this moment, Murong Che, who was sitting in the male seat, frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the painting, and he said in a deep voice, "It's bad."

"Fourth Master." Fu Ying took a step forward.

Murong Che said, "Go down and talk to Eunuch Zhang to change the painting."

Fu Ying nodded, and hurriedly went down from the men's seat and walked towards the competition stage.

When Eunuch Zhang saw someone coming, he immediately became respectful.

"Guard Fu, what's the matter?"

Fu Ying handed a painting to Eunuch Zhang, "The Fourth Master said that when writing poems for the Qionghua Banquet, flowers and plants are the most appropriate."

"The Fourth Master likes this painting."

Eunuch Zhang trembled slightly as he took the painting from Fu Ying's hand and looked up at Murong Che and the eldest princess.

The eldest princess stood up from the women's seat and her eyes fell on Murong Che who was sitting on the chair opposite her.

"Fourth brother is right. Since you like this painting, I will give it to you."

Murong Che curled his lips and smiled: "Then Fourth Brother, thank you for your kindness, Imperial Sister."

Eunuch Zhang then took down the painting, rolled it up carefully, and handed it to Fu Ying.

Shen Mi was a little surprised during the whole process.

Who is the woman in this painting? Why...

She pursed her lips and was about to go forward to ask Eunuch Zhang, but her sleeve was grabbed by a girl.

Shen Mi looked back and saw that the person was Fang Banxia.

Fang Banxia whispered, "Miss Shen, don't ask."

"I'm afraid that the painting just now was taken out by someone deliberately."

"That's why the Fourth Master asked someone to change the painting."

"In the past, at the Qionghua Banquet, people would not use women's portraits to write poems."

Shen Mi asked in a low voice: "Does the girl know who the woman in the painting is?"

Fang Banxia smiled calmly and spoke slowly, "The most beautiful woman in Li Country, Pei Wan."

"Pei Wan?"

Shen Mi felt as if a needle was stabbing her heart. She was a little confused, and then she heard Fang Banxia say, "But Pei Wan has been dead for many years."

"I heard that she encountered a bandit bullying a decent woman on the road, and she shot the bandit to death with her bow."

"Later, it was painted."

"I never thought that you would appear at the Qionghua Banquet."

Shen Mi pursed her lips slightly and nodded slowly.

Fang Banxia added: "However, it is normal that Miss Shen Er and Pei Wan have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes."

"After all, they are all beauties."

Shen Mi smiled calmly, "Miss Fang, you are too kind."

After the women quieted down their voices, Eunuch Zhang slowly opened the painting that Fu Ying handed over.

Inside is a picture of spring.

Eunuch Zhang said, "Girls, please write a poem based on this picture today."
