Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Xiangxiang looked Xie Zhaozhao up and down, unable to suppress her gloating, and said, "Why did you allow him to go to Jiangnan? Aren't you worried?"

"What do you want to say? How can we girls in the boudoir discuss the affairs of the court?" Xie Zhaozhao looked at Xie Xiangxiang indifferently.

Tsk, it's rules again! Xie Xiangxiang twitched her lips and said, "My elder sister taught me a lesson, and I will remember it."

But I said with disdain in my heart, you can still laugh after half a month, I am walking backwards with my head down.

Thinking about the fact that she had the upper hand in many things, she felt more and more proud. Watching others jumping into the fire pit without knowing it was really, so cool!

Xie Zhaozhao, no matter how well you learn the rules, Lord Gu is dead!

Xie Xiangxiang was in such a good mood that she didn't care about being out of line. She couldn't help but brag, "I heard that His Majesty, the Empress, and the Crown Prince will all attend the Peony Fair, and they've invited all the talented people in Kyoto to hold a Peony Poetry Festival. Prince Gu will be the opening and closing act of the Peony Fair!"

There are many noble ladies in Kyoto, and many of them treasure his poems.

Xie Tingting stared with a pair of innocent big eyes and asked, "Eldest sister, Mr. Gu, he must have written a lot of good poems, right?"

You guys are licking Gu Shizi, why are you pulling down our son-in-law? Manman was very angry and immediately retorted, saying, "Gu Gelao won the top three prizes at the age of seventeen and entered the cabinet at the age of twenty-five. Since Gu Shizi claims to be the most talented person in the world, why doesn't he take the imperial examination?"

Xie Xiangxiang was speechless for a moment, feeling a little angry and embarrassed.

"So what if he takes the imperial examination? Aren't those top scorers all working as editors in the Imperial Academy? The prince's essays became popular all over the world, and were circulated in all four countries. Even His Majesty was amazed. Besides, he is the prince, so why does he need to take the imperial examination?"

Seeing Xie Xiangxiang finally lost her color, Xie Zhaozhao did not comment, and said with a double meaning: "If there is fun, then have fun."

As they walked away, Xie Tingting whispered, "Sister, don't be fooled by her calm and composed attitude. She is so jealous in her heart! For a genius like Master Gu, she can only sigh in despair."

Xie Xiangxiang sneered and said earnestly: "The truth of right and wrong will be revealed at the Peony Flower Fair."

In the previous life, the peony poems and lyrics written by Gu Shizi once again caused a sensation in the capital. The collection of poems and lyrics written during the Peony Festival was hard to come by.

Thinking of the extraordinary talent of Gu Shizi, thinking of the wealth of Gu Shizi, thinking of the fact that Gu Shizi was second only to the emperor and above everyone else...

How many people envied, hated and envied the eldest sister, and now it was her turn.

Oh, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. My elder sister is such a poor person!

After returning to the courtyard, Xie Zhaozhao quietly took out the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Sutta Mahaparinirvana Sutra, and recited them softly over and over again.

Not long after, Yuanyuan knocked on the door and came in: "Miss, there is a man outside, who said he was introduced by the imperial concubine."

When Xie Zhaozhao heard that it was the person sent by her aunt, she immediately put down the Buddhist scriptures.

The man stood outside the door, his posture straight, wearing a dark blue gown with round floral patterns, and he waited obediently with his head lowered.

"Were you introduced by the Imperial Concubine?"

The man only glanced at Xie Zhaozhao, then immediately lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully: "I am Dongqin, sent by the Imperial Concubine."

To show his sincerity, he handed the identity deed to Xie Zhaozhao.

Yuanyuan took it for her.

"You do something for me. If you don't want to do it anymore, you can leave at any time and I will return the deed to you."

"Yes, Miss."

Xie Zhaozhao handed the manuscripts he had written over the past few days to Dong Qin: "Go find a craftsman to carve these out, and keep it confidential. Don't mention the Xie Mansion, and don't mention me. You will contact Yuanyuan in the future, and if anyone finds out..."

Before she could say anything, Yuanyuan immediately said, "Just say he's my cousin."

Dong Qin nodded: "Yes."

Dong Qin asked some more questions and found out what it was. He was shocked but did not show it on the surface. He took the blueprint and left.

After Dongqin went out, she continued to write scriptures.

Yuanyuan sorted out the manuscripts she had written, and saw the amazing poems and even policy papers on them. She said in surprise: "Miss, how did you write so many good poems all at once?"

Xie Zhaozhao paused for a moment and said, "I didn't write this. I was just recording it."

These are all Gu Chengyan’s famous works in his previous life!

Aunt Xu reminded her, "You are not going to take the imperial examination, so why are you writing so many poems? You have to copy scriptures and write poems, so don't scratch your nails that you have worked so hard to maintain."

After Aunt Xu's reminder, she put down her pen and smiled.

I originally thought that it would take at least ten days or half a month to carve those characters, but I didn't expect Dong Qin to be so efficient that he carved out more than 500 commonly used characters in just three or four days.

"You're really quick." She praised with a smile.

Dong Qin couldn't help but tell the truth: "It wasn't done by my subordinates alone, but a friend who is good at this. But don't worry, Miss, it won't be leaked."

Xie Zhaozhao naturally believed it. This was also the reason why she asked her aunt to help her find someone. People in the palace knew the rules.

I am very satisfied with the printing template. The font is square and it is a one-time thing. It is much more convenient than copying.

He handed the completed manuscript to Dong Qin and reminded him: "Make sure to display it in the bookstore one day before the Peony Festival. All my manuscripts must be collected."

"Yes, I will copy the manuscript and return it to you after checking it for errors."

After leaving Xie's house, he flipped through Xie Zhaozhao's manuscript and was immediately stunned.

"Young lady is truly a female Zhuge Liang, a rare talent for all time." Dong Qin thought sincerely, "If women were allowed to take the imperial examinations, Young lady Xie would definitely be like Lord Gu, and win the top three places."

Seven or eight days before the Peony Festival, Yuanyuan received a message from Dongqin, went out to meet Dongqin secretly, and came back with a cloth bag in her arms.

After entering the yard, he handed the cloth bag to Xie Zhaozhao, who opened it and found a hardcover book with a simple title: "Skylark Collection".

"This is the booklet that Dongqin has printed. Miss, please take a look. If it's okay, Dongqin said he would print several hundred copies and send them to the bookstore."

Xie Zhaozhao took it in his hand, looked at it, and was very satisfied.

He smiled and said, "Dongqin handled it very well. The handwriting is clear, the paper is very resilient, the binding is firm, and the cover is elegant. Let's take it."

In the previous life, at the Peony Flower Festival, Gu Chengyan and his sister Gu Jiaojiao became famous throughout the world for their five peony poems. The Empress issued an imperial decree, granting Gu Jiaojiao the title of Crown Prince's concubine.

The Queen may not think highly of Gu Jiaojiao, nor may she think highly of the Pingyang Marquisate, but what about the addition of Lord Gu?

What’s more, the Crown Prince’s wife’s maiden family is from the Xie family?

Therefore, the Queen granted Gu Jiaojiao a concubine, and completely tied the Pingyang Marquisate, Gu Ge Lao, Xie Mansion, and the Crown Prince to the same boat.

No matter what, the reason why Gu Jiaojiao was arranged to marry was the amazing peony poem.

Then, let's first print those five poems, as well as all the poems that the two brothers and sisters wrote later to curry favor with the emperor, into a collection of poems in advance.
