Chapter 31 Help Me Write

Ye Ruoyan's request was naturally agreed by the Emperor and Empress.

The birthday party episode ends here.

It was clearly the Queen's birthday party, but the one who stole the show was Ye Ruoyan, and the one who received the reward was Ye Jinshu.

The others just presented a gift and nothing happened afterwards. Those who had originally planned to show up in front of the emperor and empress at the birthday banquet began to get anxious.

This time, the Queen's birthday banquet was the first time in all these years that the invitations were sent outside the palace to invite ministers to attend.

Since the Emperor ascended the throne, the Empress, in order to save money, would often only invite concubines and other members of the royal family to the banquet, which could be considered a family banquet.

However, except for the crown prince, the other princes and princesses are about to reach marriageable age. The queen's move inevitably sends a signal to the ministers that this birthday banquet is not just a birthday banquet.

If someone is ambitious and can perform well at this birthday banquet and be remembered by the emperor and empress, he or she may become the emperor's consort or the prince's consort.

What's more, the prince is now alone. Although Ye Jinshu has been confirmed as the prince's principal wife, there is still room for competition for the prince's concubine.

Today's Queen's birthday banquet went smoothly due to the incident with Ye Ruoyan. In Ye Jinshu's opinion, it was over, but in the eyes of others, it was just the beginning.

Only after the singing and dancing show of the Jiaofangsi was over, these ministers would find an opportunity to show themselves in front of the emperor and empress.

Whether it was writing poems or playing the game of flying flowers, or the official lady presenting a special gift to the queen, these were other prizes of the birthday banquet.

After Ye Jinshu and Jiang Sisi got together to sort out the relationship circles of men and women on the other side, the emperor finally threw out the first prize to his ministers.

From ancient times to the present, people have used the phrase "beauty and fragrance" to describe the peony, and peony is also the most suitable flower to describe the queen.

The emperor took advantage of the middle of the banquet when everyone had filled their stomachs and were not so hungry, and asked the ministers present to compose poems.

People who are well-informed and have been waiting for the emperor to speak: Hehehe.

For those who have no knowledge and can’t compose poetry and just want to continue gossiping with their sisters: No, haha.

Ye Jinshu is the one who doesn't laugh.

Yes, she had been reborn many times, and during that time she had also fantasized that if she learned how to write poetry, she would be able to make a splash at banquets or poetry readings.

However, even though he had the talent, Ye Jinshu just couldn't learn it.

She still remembered the time when she made the most serious trouble. The emperor and empress personally invited people to the palace to teach her.

But at that time, Ye Jinshu was sitting at the desk, listening to every word and writing every word. At that moment, she suddenly understood the feeling of marrying someone she didn't like and living a down-to-earth life.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same feeling when the prince married her?

Although I felt very at ease when memorizing the prosody and parallelism of poems, it always felt like it was meaningless.

So after Ye Jinshu gave up for the first time, he gave up countless times.

Later, when she was asked to compose a poem on the spot to test her homework, Ye Jinshu immediately thought of how she always asked the prince whether he loved her.

At that moment, Ye Jinshu empathized with the prince and learned to let go.

As for now, she has completely let go of everything, whether it is writing poetry or the prince.

What she meant was that she couldn't do anything about this poem.

After the emperor proposed to write poetry, the eunuchs and palace maids began to prepare the four treasures of the study, and even set up a small table specifically for writing poetry.

It seems that anyone who is here can't escape.

Ye Jinshu could only sneak up to the Queen and ask for help in a low voice: "Aunt, what should I do if I can't compose poetry?" The Queen smiled brightly.

Perhaps human nature is biased. If others asked her this, she would only feel unhappy.

But when Ye Jinshu asked this question, she didn't feel disgusted at all. She even felt warm in her heart because of the intimacy in Ye Jinshu's words.

The queen looked towards Chu Yi, and after seeing that Chu Yi was also looking at her, she understood something, and said with a smile: "No problem, just let Yi Er write a poem for you."

Ye Jinshu glanced at the prince who seemed far away, and gave up, continuing to whisper: "Brother Prince is too far away from me. Can I leave the table for a while and come back after I finish writing the poem?"

The emperor also interrupted when he heard this: "No problem, write down what you want to say to Yi'er, and I'll have someone send it over."

Since the Emperor had said so, Ye Jinshu took the pen and started writing. The content was very simple.

[I can't write poetry, my aunt asked you to write one for me]

After finishing writing, Ye Jinshu was very satisfied. This sentence was practical and not exaggerated at all. When the prince saw that it was the Queen's request, he would definitely help her write a poem!
But Ye Jinshu didn't expect that after she returned to her seat with satisfaction, the Queen frowned as she looked at the small note written by Ye Jinshu.

This child, how come his writing doesn't have any sentimentality at all.

The emperor took a look and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. He took the queen's hand and patted it, saying, "Let them go."

He actually handed the note written by Ye Jin to Chu Yi intactly.

After Chu Yi got the note, his expression didn't change at all. He just silently wrote another piece of paper.

It wasn't just Ye Jinshu who couldn't compose poetry, there was also Ye Ruoyan.

Ye Ruoyan was born into a medical family. She would be no worse than anyone when it comes to talking about medicine, but she would have trouble composing poetry.

She didn't want to steal other people's poems.

In addition to the moral guilt in her heart, what is more important is that every poet has his or her own style of writing poetry, but can she guarantee to use only the poems of one poet? Once she starts, she has to keep stealing.

In the end, anyone who is interested can put all these poems together and understand that these are not poems that can be written by one person.

Ye Ruoyan has read many time-travel novels, both routine and anti-routine, but only now that she is actually here can she understand that the dangers described in the novels are still too conservative.

But if she didn't write a poem to celebrate the Queen's birthday, she would be blamed to some extent.

She is not Ye Jinshu and does not have the capital to be willful.

Ye Ruoyan had no choice but to start looking for help.

Fortunately, this time the poem was written on paper and presented to the emperor and empress for review. If she was asked to read it out loud in front of everyone, she would have no choice.

As a concubine's daughter, Ye Ruoyan's original position should have been very far back.

But she is a concubine's daughter of the Ye family after all. Although she cannot sit close to the emperor like Ye Jinshu, she can roughly reach the position of a fallen noble.

As luck would have it, Lin Shi was not far from her, and Lin Shi was one of the few people who knew that Ye Ruoyan could not write poetry.

Seeing Ye Ruoyan looking over here, Lin Shi understood her difficulties without Ye Ruoyan even saying anything. After a while, a note was handed to Ye Ruoyan.

It is a poem about peony.

And all of this was seen by Jiang Sisi.
