After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family
Chapter 9: Standing Out at the Poetry Meeting
The current emperor has four children, three princes and one princess.
The eldest prince, Xiao Yuyan, was born to Concubine Rou in the harem. He has a simple and honest personality and moved to a mansion outside the palace two years ago.
The second prince, Xiao Yujing, is the current crown prince and the only child of the current queen. He is quick-witted and steady in his actions. Now he is able to assist in handling state affairs with ease and is an extremely qualified crown prince of Dacheng.
The third prince, Xiao Yuheng, was born to the favorite concubine in the harem, Concubine Jia. He had a gentle temperament and did not interfere in state affairs. Because Concubine Jia loved her son very much, the emperor specially allowed Xiao Yuheng to live in the palace even though he was old enough to leave the palace.
Princess Xiao Yuyao is a sister of the eldest prince from the same mother, but her personality is completely opposite to that of her brother. She is lively and willful, and is very good at making the emperor happy.
Upon hearing what was just said, Crown Prince Xiao Yujing frowned tightly.
Who is so bold as to slander the prince in the princess's mansion and say such outrageous words!
Xiao Yujing looked around and found that there was no one else except the servants of the princess's mansion.
Is it his hallucination?
But the voice just now was so clear...
Xiao Yujing put his thoughts aside and walked towards the flower hall.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Following a singing, a crowd of people knelt down in the hall again.
Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but complain:
[Can't these two brothers come together? ]
Hearing this voice again, Xiao Yujing was stunned.
It's not his imagination.
But seeing that everyone present had calm expressions, Xiao Yujing wondered, could it be that he was the only one who could hear this voice?
Who could this strange female voice be?
Glancing in the direction of the female relatives, Xiao Yujing said calmly, "Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" everyone said in unison.
Jiang Ruoli stood up and looked secretly at the prince.
He was wearing a gilded long robe with wide sleeves, a hollow gold and jade belt tightening his waist, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look even more extraordinary.
He wore a golden crown with cloud patterns, had handsome features and a face as white as jade, but his eyes were like a deep pool, so deep that people dared not look directly at them.
Jiang Ruoli met Xiao Yujing's gaze and quickly lowered her head.
Phew, that’s scary.
This is the ultimate big boss, the type that can kill people anytime and anywhere.
Xiao Yujing walked forward and sat down at the top. Seeing this, everyone returned to their seats.
Because of the prince's arrival, the flower hall, which had been somewhat noisy, was now unusually quiet.
It is said that the prince is a humble person, but he has been the crown prince for twelve years and has been able to sit on the position of prince so firmly. Ever since the emperor's health failed, Xiao Yujing has begun to assist in handling state affairs, and his methods are decisive and ruthless, with some of the fierceness of the late emperor.
How could such a person be as gentle as he appears?
When he saw the prince coming, a sinister look flashed in Xiao Yuheng's eyes.
The smile on his face deepened, and he said in a gentle voice: "It's rare for my brother to have such leisure and elegance. I'm afraid it's been many years since I last attended the chrysanthemum viewing banquet."
Xiao Yujing nodded slightly and said, "I have nothing to do recently, so I came to my aunt's house to join in the fun."
Princess Ningyang heard this and jokingly said, "It is such an honor for me to be honored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After that, she smiled and said to the people below: "Everyone, don't be restrained, relax a little, or I will drive the prince back."
Everyone smiled when they heard this, and looked at the three people from the Tian family. In the end, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and just talked in a low voice.
Madam Jiang started chatting with the wife of the courtier next to her. Jiang Ruoli sat in her seat, staring at a stack of chrysanthemum crystal cakes on the low table in front of her.
The semi-transparent crystal cake is filled with chrysanthemum petals and decorated with a layer of dried osmanthus.
It looks delicious at first glance.
Jiang Ruoli said in her heart with certainty.
But she had eaten a lot of snacks on the way here, and her stomach was still a little bloated.
My mother told me that there will be a lunch later, so I can’t eat now.
Jiang Ruoli rubbed her stomach regretfully.
At this time, someone asked, "Your Highness, will there be a poetry writing session at this year's chrysanthemum viewing banquet?"
Jiang Ruoli was inspired and started to compose poetry!
I almost forgot the main thing...
Princess Ningyang heard this and smiled, "Of course, this year, just like in previous years, you will write a poem on the theme of chrysanthemum. The first place winner will be rewarded with a painting by the famous artist Gu Tinglang—"
"A Thousand Mountains and Flying Birds"
wow——
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar below.
Gu Tinglang is a famous artist in Dacheng. His paintings are profound, solemn, majestic and lifelike.
After his death, his works were raised to unprecedented heights and his paintings are hard to come by.
Princess Ningyang actually used such a rare work as a reward, and even those who had no interest in writing poetry were tempted.
Jiang Ruoli pondered.
[I remember that the male protagonist was the illegitimate son of the Prince Consort whom I met at the poetry gathering. ]
[The illegitimate son amazed everyone with his autumn quatrain and became famous, which attracted the attention of the third prince. Later, with the help of the third prince, he passed the imperial examination and became a powerful figure in overthrowing the crown prince in the court.]
[I just don’t know which one it is…]
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yujing frowned.
The prince consort’s illegitimate son?
He glanced at Xiao Yuheng.
The third one...
I became more and more curious about where the sound came from.
Jiang Ruoli's words made Madam Jiang and Jiang Cijin look slightly grim. It turned out that the Third Prince had already started planning...
The mother and son looked at each other and decided that the Third Prince must not be allowed to come into contact with that person!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ci Jin called the servant Fu An over, whispered a few words to him, and then gave him orders.
With the temptation of "A Thousand Mountains and Flying Birds", the chrysanthemum appreciation and poetry writing event began.
After a while, the servant beside Jiang Ci Jin also came back.
Listening to the poems being composed one after another, Jiang Ruoli had a flash of inspiration in her mind.
She remembered the illegitimate child's poem, which seemed to be...
He quickly called Fuguo, muttered something in her ear, and after a while, asked her, "Have you remembered everything?"
Fuguo nodded, thinking, you've told me this three times.
"Go ahead." Jiang Ruoli said.
Fuguo hurried to find Fuan, and whispered into his ear, asking, "Do you remember it?"
Fuan touched his nose and nodded, "About the same."
"You must remember this, this is what the young lady specifically told you." Fuguo said anxiously.
Fu'an nodded, and Fuguo whispered it to him again. Only when he was sure that Fu'an had remembered it did they separate.
Fu'an came to Jiang Cijin and quietly told him what Jiang Ruoli said.
After listening to this, Jiang Ci Jin's eyes lit up and he looked at Jiang Ruoli.
My little sister, you are really amazing.
Receiving Jiang Ci Jin's gaze, Jiang Ruoli smiled slightly.
Second brother, it’s up to you!
At this time, the nanny beside Princess Ningyang said, "Which nobleman below is willing to compose a poem?"
"I'll do it!" Jiang Ci Jin raised his arm and said loudly.
"Tsk——" a burst of sneer came from the table.
"Hey, Third Master, when will you be able to write poetry?" Jiang Ci Jin's friend teased.
Jiang Cijin blushed slightly and said, "I am willing! What's it to you?"
After saying this, he turned to the people above him and said, "Your Highnesses, seeing the beautiful scenery in the Princess's mansion, I feel deeply moved and am inspired to write poetry. I hope Your Highnesses will give me some advice."
Seeing Jiang Cijin's funny appearance, Princess Ningyang couldn't help laughing: "Tell me about it."
"I obey your order." Jiang Cijin cleared his throat and said:
"The autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, reflecting the sun's rays, and their fragrance permeates the heart. The golden wind brings the good news..."
What was the last sentence?
Jiang Ci Jin looked at Jiang Ruoli, and Jiang Ruoli mouthed words to him silently.
"The golden wind brings good news, and the jade dew moistens the national stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Jiang Ci Jin in surprise. No one could believe that the third son of the Jiang family, who had always been a playboy, could compose such an amazing poem.
Linking the appreciation of chrysanthemums with the feelings of family and country, it happened that the young general of the Jiang family won a great victory over the Northern Xin Kingdom some time ago, and the capital was full of joy. This poem was really appropriate for the occasion.
"What a great line, 'Jade dew moistens the national terrace'. As expected of the son of the old general, the Duke of Zhenguo, what a great poem!" Xiao Yujing praised.
Princess Ningyang was surprised, but she was also very happy in her heart: "It is indeed a good poem. It seems that I have a chance to win the first prize today!"
Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes. When did the third son of the Jiang family become so talented?
Everyone praised him, saying that Young Master Jiang had a great sense of justice and was truly talented and unparalleled.
Jiang Ci Jin blushed a little because she was rarely praised.
The comments he usually hears are either that he is not doing his job properly or that he is a playboy, so he feels embarrassed when a group of people suddenly praise him.
Only one person cannot be at peace.
How can it be? !
How is it possible that someone used the exact same verse as him? !
