When Master Chang said these words, the tens of thousands of students below suddenly burst into thunderous shouts——
"Could it be that the regent really wants to come in person?"
"Who can win the title of Immortal Poet?"
"Whether we win or not, it is already a great honor for our poems to be engraved on the Millennium Monument of Wenweng Academy!"
"I said, if you really get into the Hall of Fame..."
"What are you thinking about? It's been 800 years since Wenweng Academy was founded, and only five people have left their names in the Hall of Fame... I say, for today's literary gathering, don't think about the things that are there and not, and write a poem well. If Being able to enter the regent's eyes..."
"I'm not sure. Even if I don't succeed in the Qiu period, I can still have a good future if I win the favor of the regent!"
"Brother Zhong's words make sense. The regent loves and cherishes talents. This is the best era we have ever encountered."
"Don't worry about gains and losses, think about how to create a more wonderful artistic conception for this spring outing!"
As a result, the students in the audience gradually dispersed from the gathering just now.
After all, writing poems and articles requires purity.
On the contrary, the gorgeous girls gathered together in groups of three or five.
Their voices were kept extremely low, as if they were afraid of disturbing the students' thoughts.
However, their eyes wandered around the students——
This spring festival actually has another meaning.
Chongqing Mansion is the capital of Shuzhou. This place is where all the dignitaries, merchants and wealthy people from all over Shuzhou gather.
Girls in Shuzhou are somewhat different from girls in Jiangnan.
This place was once a barbaric land, and they were less influenced by the sacred culture. They were not as reserved as Jiangnan women, nor were they as bound by etiquette and dogma as Jiangnan women.
Their characters are more heroic.
In other words, they have their own opinions and dare to express their wishes.
This cultural gathering is a grand gathering where Shuzhou girls and talented men meet!
If a girl likes a talented person, they will express their love directly.
If the other party is not willing... he might be snatched away by that girl!
The girls haven't taken action yet.
Because they not only look at the appearance of men, they also care about the knowledge of those men.
This requires them to wait until they get on the stage, write good poems, and get the approval of the judging adults before taking the next step.
Throwing hydrangea is too troublesome.
Usually robbing people!
If one of them is bad, they will get into a fight!
So Liu Zuo sent many police officers to maintain order.
That scene...there are so many women in Shuzhou!
What a shame!
"Sister Linghua, the regent is coming. If we grab the regent, wouldn't we make a lot of money?"
"Sister Xiaoqian, wake up! Can you tell me which girl can win over the third lady of Zhongli Mansion?"
"...That's true. It's a pity."
"Don't aim too high. There is only one regent in the huge Ning Kingdom."
"Miss Zhongli is a fairy-like person. Whether it is her attainments in poetry or articles, or her ability to run a business and run a household, who can rival her when looking at Ningguo?"
"She is the best match for the regent!"
"Let's look at other things. For example, I think Xie Qingquan is quite pleasing to the eye. Don't compete with me!"
Xia Hua still stood outside the crowd, still listening with her ears pricked up.
When she heard what the group of women said, she immediately curled her lips.
I thought that compared with Zhongli Ruoshui, although I lacked the ability to do business and run a household, my martial arts skills were very high!
Suddenly she laughed at herself again. It seemed that these girls didn't know about Zhongli Ruoshui's illness.
Pity.
She felt pity.
If Zhongli Ruoshui is in good condition, with Zhongli Ruoshui taking care of her inside, and with her Xia Hua protecting her outside, then Li Chen'an's life will be truly free.
The girl was suddenly startled, how could I have such an idea?
Why should he, Li Chenan, enjoy the blessings of such a group of people? !
Xia Hua wanted to put this sudden thought behind her, but found that she couldn't!
At this time, she felt more and more clearly that she cared too much about Li Chenan, so that she would be very happy when she heard the praises for Li Chenan, but if she heard a woman express her love for Li Chenan, she would feel jealous again.
Xia Hua lowered her head slightly, suddenly not knowing what to do.
Time passed slowly, and some students got good inspiration and went up to the stage, wrote their own poems on the stage, and walked away happily.
Gradually, the students on the meadow divided into two groups: east and west.
Those located in the east are the students who have written poems.
Those on the west side are still the students who are immersed in their thoughts.
And in the middle, there are many beautiful girls.
The teachers from Tai Weng Academy also sat around a round table, and they began to evaluate the poems left by the students.
Naturally, many outstanding ones were praised by these old teachers, so this part of the poem was sent to Master Chang and Mei Fangxi.
After another hour, some students came on stage to compose poems, but more students chose to give up.
The audience became lively again.
Only then did these students discover a problem——
"Hey, why hasn't the regent come yet?"
"Perhaps we won't come until we have finished writing the poems."
"That's not necessarily true. He is the regent after all. The incident at the Water Mirror Terrace a few days ago was a huge event!"
Xie Qingquan nodded with a serious face, "It's too dangerous. I heard that Liu Daotai almost fainted from fright... Zhong Liyuan probably won't let the regent take risks again."
Although the students were a little disappointed, they all nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, someone asked: "You said... the regent came to Shuzhou just to take Miss Zhongli to Kyoto?"
"Well...I heard some news from outside."
"what news?"
The student lowered his voice, looked around, and then said mysteriously:
"I heard that the regent came to Shuzhou to pick up the missing eldest son of the emperor from Ningguo!"
"In addition, I heard that the third lady is not in good health. It seems that the regent will take the third lady to Wu for treatment."
"...You mean that the regent will take the eldest son of the emperor back to be the emperor? Can't Miss Third Miss's illness be cured in our country of Ning?"
"Maybe so."
"this……"
These words were somewhat forbidden. Although the students had something in mind, they all shut up at this moment and changed the topic to the matter of rushing for the exam in Kyoto.
In this way, another hour passed.
At this moment, Mei Fangxi walked to the stage.
"Everyone...!"
All the students and the girls looked towards the stage. The rankings of this literary competition were about to be announced!
“After our review, we have decided on the top ten of this article conference as follows!”
"The first place in this literary competition... Zhong Wenxun, a student of Wengweng Academy, whose work "Long Love, Spring Love" uses scenes to describe love and the scenes blend together, which is a rare masterpiece."
"I recite it, and you can compare it yourself!"
Xia Hua also looked at the stage at this moment and listened very carefully.
If Li Chenan's poems hadn't been in front of her, she would have thought that the ten poems recited by the old man were indeed very good.
The writing style of Ning Guo is actually stronger than that of Wu Guo.
But since she got Li Chenan's poems, she found that she seemed to have a better taste in poetry.
What does this feel like?
This is probably because if you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, you will not be able to swallow the simple meals.
Those poems that made the students cheer are indeed incomparable with Li Chenan's poems.
Just as Xia Hua was thinking about this, Mei Fangxi on the stage finished reciting the tenth poem.
At this moment, he was still standing on the stage and suddenly said:
"The regent cannot come in person due to business reasons."
"But the Prince Regent is extremely concerned about this conference."
"I have already gone to see the Prince Regent and asked for a poem from him... a poem that I saw with my own eyes and was written without any thought at all!"
The audience was extremely silent.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Mei Fangxi.
Even the teachers on the stage are no exception.
"Here, I will also recite this poem by the Regent to you."
"It's up to you to taste the wonderful taste for yourself!"
Mei Fangxi took out one from her arms and cleared her throat.
All the teachers on the stage stood up at this moment.
Xia Hua clearly knew this poem, but she suddenly became a little nervous at this moment.
