"Oh? It turns out that such an interesting thing happened when the Ai family left? Ning'er, I didn't expect that you can compose poetry even if you don't reveal it. You also want to compete with Miss Xia. Okay, okay, the Aijia and the emperor can do it today Feast your ears and enjoy the wonderful poems written by our two talented women from the Western Chu Kingdom.”
Empress Dowager Zhou moved the boat along. After speaking, she glanced at Mo Chuan with a smile, patted the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Emperor, let's review together later."
Mo Chuan's face looked a little ugly. Although he had confidence in Shen Ning, he didn't expect that Queen Mother Zhou would come up with such a tricky problem and actually let the two of them write a poem in seven steps!
This poetry writing talent is no better than other talents. If you don't have any ideas, you won't be able to complete a poem in seventy steps or seven hundred steps, let alone seven steps!
"Princess Dingyuan, Miss Xia wants to compete with you in completing a poem in seven steps. Are you willing?"
He didn't look at anyone but Shen Ning. As long as she said she didn't want to, he wouldn't care what others thought and he would immediately propose another way to compete.
When Shen Ning heard this, she knew that he was trying to find an excuse for herself. She smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I do."
It’s just writing poetry, so what’s the difficulty
Although she couldn't write poetry, the memory palace in her mind stored thousands of poems. Not to mention Wing Chun Guang, even if she chanted it in summer, autumn and winter all year round, it would not be a problem for her.
"Are you really willing?" Mo Chuan stared at her, feeling uneasy.
He knew very well how much ink this girl had in her belly. Just look at the crooked Sichuan character she wrote. She couldn't even write Chinese characters well, so how could she read and write poetry
Although she is very smart and smart, poetry is not something that can only be done by being smart.
Pay attention to smooth rhymes and neat contrasts. Even a well-educated scholar may not be able to write a good poem that everyone praises within seven steps, let alone a girl of twenty-eight years!
"Your Majesty, don't you believe me?"
Shen Ning raised her eyebrows and her eyes were extremely bright. Mo Chuan stared at her and saw something unexpected.
Seeing the two people looking at each other like this, Queen Mother Zhou felt displeased and coughed hard and said: "Emperor, if Ning'er is willing to compete, let's all listen attentively. Maybe Ning'er will give us a What a big surprise.”
"Okay, then I'm just waiting for this surprise for my mother." Mo Chuan sat back on the chair calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.
From the look in their eyes just now, he already knew that she was confident and would never lose!
Xia Yuyan bit her lip. Unexpectedly, after all the talk, she actually decided to write a poem in seven steps. Although she is known as the most talented woman and has a quick poetry, she can't just write a poem in seven steps casually. , if you can't do it, wouldn't you make a fool of yourself in public
What she was more worried about was that if she couldn't do it, but the other party could complete the poem in seven steps, wouldn't her reputation as the most talented woman be taken away by that idiot princess
"To the Queen Mother, since this is a competition, it would be too simple to recite a spring poem casually. How about asking the Queen Mother to come up with the topic, and how about Miss Xia and I complete a poem with a limit of seven steps?"
Shen Ning saw that Xia Yuyan remained silent and knew that she was not sure, so she simply put forward the proposition as a poem, making it more difficult and trying to squeeze her.
Xia Yuyan's face suddenly turned pale. During this period, she had begun to brew poetry in her mind. She had just finished two satisfactory sentences. If she didn't praise the spring scenery, wouldn't she have thought in vain
