At this time, the guard held up pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Qin Yushuang wrote eight big characters!
Armed troops, fighting on the battlefield!
"Your Majesty is indeed heroic."
After reading this poem, the envoy from the Western Regions could not help but marvel.
"His Majesty the Holy Kingdom is indeed both civil and military, worthy of being the True Dragon Emperor."
He praised Qin Yushuang without hesitation, but the latter snorted coldly in his heart.
"The envoy is full of praise."
"Your Majesty is too humble. Although this poem has four words and eight rhymes, it is extremely murderous."
"If my soldiers in the Western Region encounter such an opponent, they will fight bravely to fight the enemy and defend the territory to the death!"
The envoy from the Western Regions spoke impassionedly, while Qin Yushuang smiled and was noncommittal.
"Messenger Miao Zan, I just wrote down eight characters randomly, it is not a poem."
"Haha, Your Majesty, this is just the beginning. How about we take this battle as the theme today?"
Narrowing his eyes, the envoy from the Western Regions looked at Qin Yushuang and asked with a half-smile.
Qin Yushuang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
There was coldness and solemnity in her voice, as if she had anticipated this confrontation.
"Well, how about we have a poetry contest in the imperial garden tonight?"
As the envoy from the Western Regions spoke, he picked up the folding fan placed on the table next to him and shook it a few times.
Qin Yushuang raised her chin slightly, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Please, I'll wait and see."
After saying that, she walked down the high platform first and came to the imperial garden.
Not to be outdone, the envoy from the Western Region Kingdom strode towards Qin Yushuang with a folding fan.
This time he got the order. Cooperation between the two parties is one thing, but embarrassing His Majesty the Holy Kingdom is another!
Seeing this, everyone made way for a passage, allowing the envoy from the Western Region Kingdom and Qin Yushuang to enter the imperial garden.
The envoy from the Western Region Kingdom stood still, glanced at Qin Yushuang, and then pointed to a pear tree in the distance.
"What do you think of that pear tree, Your Majesty?"
Qin Yushuang glanced at what the other person pointed at, then looked away and said.
"Tall and straight, the canopy of trees blocks out the sky and the sun."
"Then I'll take the pear tree as my theme."
With a slight smile, the envoy from the Western Regions waved his paper fan and read in front of everyone.
"A pear tree has been lonely for thousands of years and no one knows it. Today, the wind and rain are blowing, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground..."
Qin Yushuang had a slight smile on her face. She listened quietly to the other party's poems, secretly sighing in her heart that the literary talent of the envoy from the Western Regions Kingdom was really amazing.
"Your Majesty, how do you like this poem?" The envoy from the Western Regions looked at Qin Yushuang with a smile, with a bit of pride in his eyes.
Qin Yushuang slowly raised her eyes, smiled mysteriously, and uttered four words.
"The pear blossoms are falling, and the red makeup is desolate."
Her voice is clear and sweet, just like the singing of an oriole, which makes people unable to help but feel intoxicated.
"This...the artistic conception of this poem is quite sad..."
"No, on the contrary, Your Majesty, please taste it carefully."
The tone of the envoy from the Western Regions was a little stern, even a little eager.
Qin Yushuang frowned in confusion, then looked at the pear blossom he drew, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
She didn't notice that the surroundings were completely silent at this time. Everyone was holding their breath and looking at her with burning eyes, hoping that she would give another shocking result.
The Western Region envoy's expression became even more serious, and he continued to speak slowly.
"Autumn leaves are flying, the beauty has withered, and only the broken branches and broken arms are left."
She opened her eyes and looked at the envoy from the Western Regions, waiting for his next words.
"The beauty has withered, only the branches and arms are broken..." Qin Yushuang repeated the last sentence, staring closely at the smiling envoy from the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, how do you like this poem?"
Qin Yushuang looked at the poem and remained silent for a long time.
Although this poem is simple, its meaning is heart-warming.
The beauty has withered, leaving only the broken branches and broken arms!
The meaning of this poem echoes the rumors that Qin Yushuang is born as a daughter and curses her to die, and the second half of the poem is a metaphor for the destruction of the country and the destruction of the people!
But on the surface, it seems that the pear blossoms are withering again, making it difficult for people to find fault. This move of the Western Region Envoy is quite cruel!
The person present was not a human spirit, so he could naturally understand the meaning of the Western Region envoy's words, but no one dared to interrupt easily.
"Your Majesty, how about this poem?"
Seeing that Qin Yushuang didn't respond for a long time, the envoy from the Western Region couldn't help but urge him again.
Qin Yushuang raised her eyes and glanced at him. She smiled faintly and lightly opened her thin lips.
"Although this sentence is short, it is full of profound meaning and makes people feel uneasy."
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at the majestic and majestic palace in front of her, her deep black pupils glowing with a little cold light.
"Your Majesty, how is this game going?" the envoy from the Western Regions asked impatiently.
"Is there any lover who can compete with me in poetry?"
There was no answer, Qin Yushuang turned around and asked.
Li Yang, who was standing behind her, frowned. He could see that the other party was clearly prepared.
I'm afraid today's matter cannot be solved that easily.
"I am willing to compete with the envoy for poems!"
A young official jumped out of the crowd and saluted Qin Yushuang respectfully.
"What's your name?" Qin Yushuang looked at the man and asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am Li Zhong, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy of the Dongyue Empire."
Li Zhong said respectfully, he raised his head and looked at Qin Yushuang firmly.
"Since Li Aiqing wants to compete with the envoy from the Western Regions in poetry, let the two of you compete!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Zhong saluted with his hands raised, and then raised his head to look at the envoy from the Western Regions in front of him, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
"please."
The envoy from the Western Regions nodded slightly, glanced at Li Zhong, and then walked away into the distance.
Li Zhong quickly followed, and soon the two of them stopped in the open space in the center of the Imperial Garden.
"The envoy from the Western Regions, I am in the Hanlin Academy, Li Zhong, in the lower east. Please enlighten me." Li Zhong cupped his fists and bowed to the envoy from the Western Regions, his eyes filled with fighting intent.
This was a good opportunity to show his face. When he first entered the court, he wanted to use this banquet to perform well and win His Majesty's appreciation, but he didn't expect that he would be taken advantage of as soon as he arrived.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to become famous, how could he miss it?
The envoy from the Western Regions glanced at Li Zhong contemptuously, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
"Li Zhong? Oh, a scholar, is he trying to overwhelm me with his scholarly energy?"
The attitude of the envoy from the Western Regions made Li Zhong's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly understood that he was probably going to suffer.
Sure enough, the envoy from the Western Region spoke again.
"Li Zhong, do you know that our Western Region has a long history?"
"The Western Region has been a nation for hundreds of years. After several emperors, the country has prospered."
"In that case, why did you choose to compete with me in poetry? Do you think that you, a mere scholar, can surpass me, the kings of the Western Regions?"
Li Zhong's head was buzzing. He never thought that the envoy from the Western Regions would be so aggressive.
Such words made him unable to continue at all, and he just stared blankly at the envoy from the Western Regions.
