After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

"The Emperor has decreed that the Great Zhou Poetry God Nan Rongxi won the first prize in the poetry competition. This is a collection of Nan Rongxi's poems. Citizens, if you are interested, you can come and read it, or copy it and keep it for yourself!"

Hundreds of soldiers shouted loudly, echoing in the streets and alleys of the capital, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples. The sound quickly spread to every corner of the capital, attracting countless curious onlookers.

"I want to read Nan Rongxi's poems!"

"Let me see this collection of poems!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and every promotional location was packed with people. Some people stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and tried to get a glimpse of the poetry collection from the crowd; others were talking excitedly, their faces filled with admiration and curiosity for Nan Rongxi.

Nan Rongxi's deeds immediately spread to every corner of Da Zhou. For a time, she became a star in the hearts of all students and gained countless fans.

In various academies, teachers used Nan Rongxi's poems as teaching materials, guiding students to appreciate the charm and profound meaning of them. Students rushed to study them, hoping to draw inspiration from them.

What was even more surprising was that Nan Rongxi's portrait appeared on the market. It was said that as long as one had Nan Rongxi's portrait, he would pass every exam. For a time, the price of paper in the capital increased.

Nan Rongxi has become an idol for many students, so Nan Rongjie has naturally become a role model for many parents.

Now, Nan Rongjie smiles even when he is asleep, and whenever he talks to others, he never forgets to mention "Nan Rongxi is my daughter."

In order to cultivate more poets in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Rentong asked Nan Rongjie to give a lecture on how to make your children become poets.

As soon as the news came out, there was a great sensation in the capital. Emperor Rentong, officials, and parents from all walks of life rushed to the lecture site in advance, hoping to catch a glimpse of Nan Rongjie's style.

On the day of the lecture, the venue was packed with people, and even the corridors and doors were packed. Emperor Rentong, officials, and parents all looked at the podium eagerly, looking forward to Nan Rongjie's "true teachings".

Nan Rongjie took the stage with a smug look on his face. He looked even more majestic than an emperor! As soon as he stood firm, thunderous applause broke out from the audience, almost blowing the roof off.

"Hello, parents and children!" Nan Rongjie cleared his throat and began his speech.

"If you want your child to become a poetry god, you must first be patient. When Nan Rongxi was young, I taught her how to write, but she couldn't write well no matter how many times she tried. She couldn't write a word even after writing it dozens of times. I didn't scold her, but patiently taught her over and over again!"

Nan Rongxi was also listening.

System: [Xizi, I think your father speaks very well! ]

Nan Rongxi: [It’s good, but I remember when he taught me how to write, it wasn’t like that. I wrote it three times but it was not correct. He got it wrong so angry that he threw the paper away, then sat on the ground and beat his chest, lamenting how he had given birth to such a stupid daughter.]

Emperor Rentong: ...

Officials: ...

Parent:…

Nan Rongjie: I...

Nan Rongjie pretended not to hear and continued his "high-sounding talk": "When children make mistakes, we cannot beat them. We should let them realize their mistakes and correct them! Ah Xi was quite naughty when she was little. Every time she made a mistake, I would not beat her, but patiently teach her. Once, she climbed up the roof and I was still there to educate her earnestly."

Nan Rongxi scratched his head: [I remember that the situation was not like this before. At that time, I was playing with tiles on the roof. When he found out, he yelled from below: "Nan Rongxi, you really are a jerk. If you don't come down after three days of being beaten, I will beat you to death!" But, well, he was just talking in anger at that time, he didn't hit me! ]

Emperor Rentong: It would be good to let other princes hear it, so that I appear more merciful.

Baiguan: ...This father is a bit cruel...

Parent: ...So, he was speaking sarcastically?

Nan Rongjie: Please, stop talking, stop talking!

System: [Xizi, it seems your father is quite cruel to you! ]

Nan Rongxi put on a pitiful look: [Tongzi, look how pitiful I am! ]

Nan Rongjie looked helpless. He decided to change his mindset. It was no use being exposed all the time. He slowed down and continued, "At that time, we should be strict when it was necessary. If a child made some serious mistakes, he should be punished severely. For example, Nan Rongxi once gave laxatives to the cat next door, and then used firecrackers to blow up someone's chicken. Someone complained about it. I was so angry that I punished her by not allowing her to eat for a day! Later, she changed her ways!"

Nan Rongxi in the audience continued to expose: [I remember that after the neighbor complained, he scolded me a few words. I was in a bad mood that day, so I stayed in the room alone and refused to eat. He kept begging me to eat, but I refused! ]

Nan Rongjie was completely speechless when he heard this. No matter what he said, this girl was going to fall.

Emperor Rentong: So? Is this how the God of Poetry was cultivated?

Baiguan: This education? Is it feasible?

Parent: Write it down quickly, maybe you need a special method to bring out the spirit of poetry.

Nan Rongjie now wanted to get off the stage quickly: "I have shared so much with you all, I hope it can be helpful to you all. I think it is getting late, so you should all go home. We will see each other again if we are lucky enough!"

Nan Rongxi looked puzzled: [Tongzi, it's getting late now, why did my father force the end? ]

System: [Maybe your father was irritated by something and doesn’t want to continue! ]

Nan Rongxi concluded with a serious face: [Well, this thing called education is not all about deceiving people. If your child is excellent, people will believe you even if you are lying. If your child is not excellent, no one will believe you even if you are right!]

Emperor Rentong: What this girl said makes sense.

Baiguan: It seems that the God of Poetry is just a coincidence.

Parent: This makes sense, so I was fooled? So, the god of poetry is something you can only encounter but not seek?

Nan Rongjie: You have been trying to sabotage me all the time. If I had known this would happen, I would have given birth to a piece of barbecued pork rather than you!

Fortunately, there was no one selling eggs and vegetables nearby, otherwise Nan Rongjie would have been afraid that the parents would throw things on the stage.

In order to ease the awkwardness, Nan Rongjie slowly said: "Thank you all for coming today. I have prepared more than 100 copies of Nan Rongxi's Poetry Collection for everyone. You can claim them at the exit!"

Ever since Nan Rongxi became famous, he has ordered his servants to copy it day and night, and has copied hundreds of copies. From now on, he plans to give this as a gift to relatives during festivals.

After hearing this, many listeners felt much more relieved. After all, they could get a very popular poetry collection for free, so the trip was not in vain!
