Princess Yaohua paused, pointed at a pot of beautiful orchids, and smiled coldly, "Since it is at this orchid banquet, you should write a poem about orchids on the spot, with orchids as the theme, and the time limit must be one stick of incense!"
To be fair, this question is indeed difficult, because even Princess Yaohua herself cannot write a poem within the time of one stick of incense.
Ouyang Wu raised her head, Ye Chonghua's eyes were cold at this time, the two were very close, Ouyang Wu could smell the faint fragrance of the white orchid on his body, his eyes were enchanting and beautiful, at this moment, Ouyang Wu seemed to understand what he meant.
Ouyang Wu smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes were as clear as if washed by water, "Since the princess has ordered, I dare not disobey."
What is coming cannot be avoided no matter how hard you try. Ye Chonghua chose her, and Princess Yaohua took out all her anger on her. Everyone was waiting to see her laugh... Everyone said that Ouyang Wu was unlearned and a fool, so now let them open their eyes and see how stunning the real Ouyang Wu was!
She would refuse Ye Chonghua's request, but not now. After the orchid banquet, she would naturally deal with the matter between her and Ye Chonghua in her own way.
Now, the only person she had to deal with was Princess Yaohua.
Is it about orchids? For a time traveler like her, it is not difficult to write poems about flowers, plants, birds and animals. After all, she has the splendid culture of China for five thousand years as a backing.
Ouyang Wu slowly exhaled the turbid air in her chest. She quickly came up with a poem and felt that it was very appropriate.
But she was afraid that if she thought too quickly, she would be challenged by a series of difficult questions. So in order to show that she was very dull, Ouyang Wu showed an embarrassed look on her face. She turned around in the field, step by step, and saw that the incense stick was only a little bit left, but she hadn't finished a poem yet. Those present were either talented or rich girls, and they all had real talent in their hearts. When they saw Ouyang Wu was so embarrassed, they all showed disdain on their faces. But Ye Chonghua was very calm. He still looked at Ouyang Wu with his cold eyes, and his eyes were intriguing and deep.
At this time, the garden was very quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of falling leaves. Ouyang Wu suddenly stopped and said, "I got it!"
She smiled lightly, and her beautiful eyes suddenly became like a blooming peony, light and moving, and she slowly recited:
The orchid grows in the front yard, waiting for the breeze with fragrance.
The breeze came suddenly, and I saw you in the sallow and wormwood.
If you lose your way, you may find a way.
When you realize it, you should think about it again, and the good bow will be useless when the birds are gone.
This is Mr. Tao Yuanming's "Youlan", which is widely circulated and has always been one of the representative masterpieces of poems about orchids.
Just when Ouyang Wu finished reading, there was a complete silence all around.
Everyone, including Princess Yaohua, was stunned.
They stared at Ouyang Wu with wide eyes. No one believed that this flower-crazy fool, ignorant Ouyang Wu, could actually write such a poem!
At this time, Ouyang Wu's black hair was blown by the breeze, her skirt was flying, and she smiled lightly. At this moment, people even had an illusion. The girl in front of them was not the flower-crazy fool in the legend, but a shining pearl!
The hand of King Huai'an holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
Is this still the flower-crazy fool Ouyang Wu in his impression? It has been a long time since I last saw her, and I didn't expect that she is much more wonderful than before. But that arrogant and flamboyant face, cold eyes, and the feeling of completely keeping people at a distance... A trace of fear that even he himself didn't know flashed through the heart of King Huai'an, as if she was getting farther and farther away from him.
Only Ye Chonghua, only him, maintained the same expression from beginning to end. His black eyes glowed like obsidian, flashing with a look of contempt for everything, but when he looked at Ouyang Wu, there was a strong and domineering determination in his eyes.
"Good poem! Good poem!" King Huai'an came back to his senses, unable to suppress his excitement, and praised loudly, "In just a few words, it points out the purity of orchids that are fragrant even when no one is around and do not wither in the cold, and also writes about the temperament of being unrestrained and unworldly. It is really great! I am afraid that even the learned scholars of the dynasty may not be able to write such poems!"
Ye Chonghua glanced at King Huai'an's spirited face, and his beautiful pink thin lips slightly raised, with a hint of arrogance: "It is indeed a good poem. This king thanks King Huai'an for the compliment on behalf of the princess."
Ye Chonghua took the opportunity to deliberately emphasize Ouyang Wu's belonging.
The expression of the King of Huai'an suddenly froze, and he raised the corner of his lips coldly: "The Second Prince Ye's thanks are unreasonable. Miss Ouyang Wu's poems are indeed good, but it seems to have nothing to do with you, at least not now, right?"
In terms of national strength, Xiling is indeed rich and powerful, and it is indeed not comparable to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But this is the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not his Xiling Kingdom. If they really fight, it is not certain who Ouyang Wu will belong to!
"King of Huai'an, a good horse does not eat the grass it turns back." Ye Chonghua reminded indifferently.
"A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. Since the Second Prince Ye who is far away in Xiling asked for it, why can't I get it? In terms of closeness, she was once my princess before I married her." The King of Huai'an tricked him.
Ye Chonghua's mouth curled up into an indifferent sneer, and his sword-like eyebrows raised a mocking arc, "Then please explain to the King of Huai'an, how do you explain the word 'once upon a time'?"
Ye Chonghua was blatantly slapping his face. Who in the world doesn't know how much the King of Huai'an hated the fifth lady of the Ouyang family? Not only did he divorce his wife on the day of the wedding, he also forced her to hit her head against the wall and die.
The King of Huai'an's face suddenly became ugly, his slender and moist five fingers clasped the wine glass tightly, and the veins on the back of his white hand throbbed. He took a long time to control his emotions and smiled coldly: "After all, this king has had a past. What about the second prince of Ye? Did Xiao Wu agree to marry you?"
According to his observation just now, Ouyang Wu may not like him, Ye Feibai. The current situation is completely a false illusion created by him, Ye Feibai.
Ye Chonghua looked lazy, with a hint of spring. He was smiling, and exuded a haughty and cold royal aura. He looked at King Huai'an with great momentum and said slowly, "Do you dare to take out six cities to exchange for her?" King Huai'an's face froze, his fists clenched, but he said nothing. Ye Chonghua pressed on step by step, aggressively: "Will you take out the national treasure - the Amber Heart to propose marriage?" King Huai'an's eyes were sinister, his face was full of murderous aura, but his throat was tight, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. Ye Chonghua's indifferent pupils were cold and evil, and he asked arrogantly and coldly: "Will you swear to use your entire life to care for her, protect her, and guard her, and not let her suffer the slightest grievance?"
The King of Huai'an was forced to retreat step by step, and finally fell on the chair, staring at Ye Chonghua with a cold expression, but a trace of panic flashed in his eyes... He knew that Ye Chonghua was serious this time, but he was unwilling, he really couldn't accept it...
