"The person who sent the message said: Princess Lanling has recruited a new talent in Yingzhou, named Su Xian, and please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do everything possible to recruit this person into the East Palace..."
The little palace maid outside the door reported.
inside the room.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneered coldly and said with a sneer: "The fool sent to Yingzhou, it wasn't enough to trap Gu Gu last time, so he comes again this time?"
On the side, the Crown Princess was smiling.
She had just convinced the prince to use any means necessary to snatch talents.
As a result, someone immediately sent a letter saying that Yingzhou had discovered a great talent.
This is really God’s help to the East Palace!
However, the princess never expected that the prince would react like this. She seemed to be extremely disbelieving about the matter and almost got angry.
The princess was puzzled and asked hurriedly:
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
"My dear wife, I don't know. The idiot sent to Yingzhou sent a letter dozens of days ago, saying that a great talent with excellent poetic ability has appeared in Yingzhou. That person's name is Lin Chuan, and he is from the Lin family."
"Although he is a child of a big family, he is just a side branch. If this person is talented, I will not be able to put aside my sectarian views and accept this person."
"But my beloved, guess what happened next? The result I got from sending people to investigate Lin Chuan was that he didn't know how to write poetry at all. Although his "Snow Plum" is a famous poem through the ages, he must have found someone to replace him. There is no doubt that it was done!”
"This shows how bad that fool in Yingzhou must be!"
"Now, he doesn't want to repent, but he concocted something else... Su Xian, right? He actually said that Su Xian is a talent, and asked Gu to do everything possible to recruit him into the East Palace?"
"Oh, I was fooled once but I won't be fooled again..."
"..."
As the Crown Prince spoke, he turned to look at the closed door and ordered the little palace maid: "Send that letter to the dining room, throw it into the stove and burn it!"
"Slave, you obey!"
The voice of the little palace maid came from outside the door, and then the sound of distant footsteps.
The Crown Princess's complexion changed, and she immediately rushed to the door with small steps, opened it, and saw the back of the little palace maid almost disappearing around the corner of the corridor. The Crown Princess felt anxious and shouted loudly:
"return!"
The little palace maid turned around and saw that she was the princess, so she didn't dare to disobey, so she returned with the envelope again.
The princess took the envelope, then went back to her room and closed the door.
"My dear concubine, you..." His Highness the Crown Prince was puzzled and his brows moved slightly.
"Your Highness, please atone for your sins." The Crown Princess knelt down directly.
"That's all." The prince felt heartbroken and immediately helped him up, "Why did my beloved concubine recover this letter?"
"Your Highness, even a saint can make a mistake despite all his efforts, let alone an ordinary person? I believe that the people sent to Yingzhou just made a mistake... Since the letter has been delivered, why not open it and take a look?"
"Oh well."
"..."
The Crown Princess tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it carefully.
The prince sat down on the chair. He always thought that this letter was not worth reading.
after a little while.
The Crown Princess looked away from the letter, looked at the Prince and smiled:
"I congratulate Your Highness!"
"Where does joy come from?"
"Your Highness, Su Xian is indeed a talent, an incredible talent!" the Crown Princess smiled.
"What should I say?" The prince's eyes narrowed.
"Your Highness has found out that Lin Chuan bought the song "Snow Plum" with money. Does your Highness know who Lin Chuan bought it from?"
"this……"
"That person is Su Xian! "Snow Plum" was written by Su Xian!"
"What!"
The prince stood up and looked extremely excited. He was a person who loved poetry and firmly believed that poetry was equal to talent.
"Snow Plum" is a masterpiece that can be passed down to generations. The prince firmly believes that the original author must be a peerless talent.
But thinking about Lin Chuan's identity, "Xuemei" was most likely written by a member of the Lin family, and also a direct member of the clan, because only direct members of the clan can receive the best education...
For this reason, the prince had no choice but to give up.
But now, some people actually say that "Snow Plum" was written by Su Xian?
The prince regained his hope.
However, having been tricked once, he was more cautious and calmed down his excitement. After thinking for a while, he asked: "How can we prove that "Snow Plum" was written by Su Xian?"
"That's what the rumors in Yingzhou say. But it's not enough to be believed! Just a few days ago, Su Xian composed another poem at the banquet held in Lanling..."
Immediately, the Crown Princess read out the song "Qing Ping Diao" according to the letter.
"What a poem!"
After hearing this, the prince immediately clapped his hands and beat his legs with excitement, "This poem is enough to be passed down to the world, even better than "Snow Plum". I wish I could meet the poet immediately!"
The princess continued:
"This poem was written by Su Xian! It was in full view of everyone at the banquet that day, and it cannot be faked. Moreover, Su Xian personally admitted that the poem "Snow Plum" was indeed written by him, because he and Lin Chuan were classmates."
"..."
"If that's the case, then that's right, that's right!" The prince was so excited that he walked around the room. He was a person who loved poetry, and he really wanted to get drunk with Su Xian for three days and three nights.
The Crown Princess struck while the iron was hot and said:
"It can be seen that Su Xian is indeed a rare talent. Your Highness should do whatever it takes to recruit this person to the East Palace and use it for His Highness!"
"Yes, my concubine is right!"
"In addition to Su Xian's excellent poetic talent, he also helped Lan Ling deal with many difficult things, such as..."
"My dear concubine, those are not important. Writing poems well is the most important thing!"
"..."
The Crown Princess opened her mouth, but was speechless after all. She actually understood that literary talent and talent were actually two different things.
But the prince had no doubts about it.
The Crown Princess didn't dare to persuade her, for fear of arousing the Crown Prince's disgust, which would be really not worth the gain, so she tightly closed her mouth.
The prince was excited for a while, but suddenly his face fell down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his whole body suddenly stood on the spot, like a sculpture.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" The Crown Princess immediately noticed something unusual about him.
"It's broken! It's broken!"
"What is your Highness talking about?"
"Then Su Xian has been recruited into the palace by Lan Ling and given the position of literary officer, but... it's too late after all!" The prince looked extremely ugly.
】
"..."
The Crown Princess was startled, then said seriously:
"Your Highness, do you still remember what Concubine Cai Chen said just now? We have to fight for it. Even if Su Xian has been recruited into Princess Lanling's mansion, Your Highness should still fight hard!"
"Your Highness, this letter makes it clear that Su Xian is a very talented person. If he can be recruited into the East Palace, he will be a great help in the future... For the throne, Your Highness must fight for it with all his strength!"
"..."
The word "throne" awakened the prince, and he murmured as if he had been given a shot of blood:
"Yes, yes, my beloved concubine is right. Even if Su Xian has gone to Princess Lanling's mansion, I will still find a way to snatch him back. I will fight for the throne!"
