Chapter 403 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (25)
The effect was almost done, the Eighth Prince said loudly again.
"Since everyone is so interested in Miss Jiang, she must be too low-key at ordinary times. How about we take advantage of this spring hunting and have a poetry competition?
Father, what do you think? ”
The emperor also always liked to recite poems to write poems, so since the eighth prince proposed it, of course he would not have any objection.
"In the past, the Spring Hunting Banquet was all about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, shooting, hunting and riding, which was not very interesting. This year, the Spring Hunting Banquet Poetry Party is not bad.
I will make a lottery first. The top winner in this poetry competition, I can grant him a request! ”
The audience immediately became lively.
This is an opportunity to show one's face in front of the emperor, and no one here wants to seize it.
Jiang Yu was even more delighted. She was good at poetry and no one among women could be her opponent. If she came out on top, she would be able to plead with His Majesty. In this way, she would not only consolidate her position as the most talented woman in the world, but also be able to win the title of the most talented woman in the world. Gain a good reputation as a responsible person in front of everyone.
In addition, it can also make a idiot like Jiang Lai look embarrassed!
Regardless of where she stole that poem, Jiang Lai himself must be a good-for-nothing idiot.
That day in the General's Mansion, she had a high air, wasn't it because of Tie Yi's love for her.
During the poetry meeting, Jiang Lai made a fool of himself. When Tie Yi knew that Jiang Lai's romantic poem was actually plagiarized, she wanted to see if Tie Yi would still love Jiang Lai as before!
"Father, how about you come up with an impromptu question to test our talented girl?"
The emperor was in high spirits, looked at Tie Yi who was sitting at the bottom with a big smile, and said.
"General Iron has been stationed on the border for more than ten years in order to protect the great rivers and mountains of the world. The title of today's spring hunting poetry meeting is General Iron. What should I think about the title?"
The people in the audience cheered and looked at Tie Yi one after another, their eyes filled with admiration and admiration.
At this time, the Eighth Prince came up with another idea.
"This time, let's compose an impromptu poem, how about seven steps? Your Majesty is the one who proposes the topic for such a grand occasion, so let's let the two most famous talented ladies from the Marquis Mansion go up first to help His Majesty, and to set an example for the talents and beauties who will follow! ”
"Okay!!"
"This is great. The seven steps to a plan are really a test of your true skills!"
The Eighth Prince looked at Jiang Lai and nodded at Jiang Yu.
"Two Miss Jiang, come on stage, we are all waiting."
Jiang Yu and Jiang Lai stood side by side on the stage, facing the emperor on the stage.
Tie Yi's eyes stayed on Jiang Lai from beginning to end. His eyes were solemn, and he was still thinking that the "Feng Yue Ci" just now was actually written by Jiang Lai.
But based on his understanding of the Eighth Prince, he is usually not such a person who likes to create publicity. He proposed this poetry meeting step by step, and finally let Jiang Lai and Jiang Yu stand here, as if they were deliberately doing this. Of.
And judging from the current situation, the Eighth Prince is most likely targeting Jiang Lai.
At this time, Tie Yi saw Jiang Lai smiling at him. The smile was calm and bright, and it was enough to dazzle him without any other movements.
"Sister, do you go first or me first? Why don't I go first?"
If you stay behind, you will have more time to think about it. By doing this, Jiang Yu is taking care of Jiang Lai, and she also wins a good impression in front of everyone.
Jiang Lai nodded.
"If sister wants to come first, of course, I can do that."
Jiang Yu sneered, she could still pretend at this point.
Of course she wants to be the first, otherwise others will say that she, a talented woman, did not give way to her younger sister.
If Jiang Lai is given more time to consider the result and she still can't come up with a word, the backlash effect will be doubled by then, making it even more difficult for Jiang Lai to get off the stage.
"I've thought about the title, let's call it "On Famous Generals"."
Jiang Yu first bowed to His Majesty unhurriedly, then put her hands on her waist and walked forward step by step. Finally, she stopped at the seventh step, turned around and looked at the crowd sitting there. Tie Yi is still handsome and conspicuous.
"The city of Ling was in dire straits, and when the general was determined to perform his duties, he beheaded his head and marched out of the battle without any hindrance. He rode his horse and raised his sword to pursue without being chased. His ambition and majesty lasted through the ages, his heroic spirit was extraordinary, his appearance was respected by all, and he was loyal and brave. Who else.”
"Okay!!!"
The emperor was the first to applaud, looking at Jiang Yu with admiration in his eyes.
The people around were even more amazed and praised him one after another.
"She is indeed the most talented woman in the world. She can compose such a poem with only seven steps."
"Jiang Yu's talent is obvious to all. If it weren't for the incident in the Hou Mansion that dragged her down, it would be really hard to find a man worthy of her in this world."
Jiang Yu silently glanced at Tie Yi and then said loudly.
"My daughter is showing off her humiliation. Thousands of words can't sum up General Tie's merits, but I'm just trying to attract others. Next, we have to look at the general's wife."
The emperor had high expectations for Jiang Lai. After praising Jiang Lai in public, he also praised Tie Yi for his good vision.
The Eighth Prince echoed from the side and directly praised Jiang Lai to the point where he was the only one in the world.
I thought Jiang Lai would be more timid and nervous, but unexpectedly she stood on the stage with calm eyes and a smile on her lips, calm and composed as if the person sitting in front of her was not the lord of the world, and she was not a idiot who had never been to school. .
Although he was reluctant to do so, he had to admit that Jiang Laisheng's beauty and temperament were not inferior to Jiang Yu, the most beautiful woman in the capital, or even better.
"Jiang Lai, you can go forward."
Jiang Lai looked at Tie Yi and walked slowly in his direction. Everyone was silently counting her steps in their hearts.
"One step, two steps, three steps..."
Jiang Lai stopped and stood in front of Tie Yi. There was no road ahead. Everyone was a little confused when she chose to go forward in this direction.
You must know that the direction Tie Yi is in is only five steps away from where Jiang Lai was standing just now. No matter how small her steps are, will she reach Tie Yi's arms in seven steps?
However, just when everyone was talking about it, Jiang Lai stopped in three steps and looked at Tie Yi.
When the boy was fifteen or twenty, he captured Hu Maqi on foot.
If you shoot a white-fronted tiger in the mountains, you will be willing to count the yellow-bearded children in Ye.
He has fought for three thousand miles, and his sword has served as a division for millions.
A man's self-respect is rampant, but the emperor gives him great honor.
Chongjin beats the drum down to Yuguan, and the flags meander among the Jieshi.
……
I would like to have a long bow to shoot at the child's fur, and I will be ashamed to make Yue Jia call me today
But Qin Chengfei will be there and he will not teach Hu Ma to cross Mang Mountain. ”
Every word and sentence is sonorous and powerful.
Like a hammer, it hit Tie Yi's heart again and again.
At that moment, his breathing stopped, and the only thing in front of him was this woman in red, and her words, "As long as General Qin Chengfei is here, I won't teach Hu Ma to cross Mang Mountain."
Qincheng, where he had guarded for ten years.
Mang Mountain, the last line of defense before the capital.
He never thought of relying on these to gain fame and fortune. After all, he only joined the army out of passion for protecting his family and country. (End of chapter)
