Luo Bei Wang bowed, "Your Majesty is too serious. It is this subject's honor to test the Grand Princess' Prince Consort."
As he spoke, Luo Bei Wang walked forward with a solemn expression. There was a smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Ye Fan, listen up. The essay question set by the Japanese academician today is related to the princess' name.
Please make three lines of poetry in a moment. It must contain the words Su, Qing, and Xue, and all three words must be placed at the end of the sentence.
Remember, at the end of each sentence, there were three words, Su, Qing, and Xue! As for the content, there had to be an explanation! "Don't mess around!"
Upon hearing this question, the expressions of Ye Shui, Ye Xianqing, Ye Danqing, and the others all changed drastically, revealing expressions of astonishment.
Ye Fan cursed in his heart. Sure enough, this shameless father and son pair had changed the topic together!
The original topic was just to write a poem, describing his love for the princess. He just needed to recite that crappy poem and be done with it. can
But now, not only did he have to write a poem on the spot, he also had to write three sentences with the words' Su Qingxue 'at the end!
The key was that they couldn't object to the sudden change of topic.
After all, giving an answer was something that could only be done in private. It couldn't be brought out in public.
In front of the Emperor of the Underworld and so many civil and military officials in the court, as well as the nobles of the royal family, to say that the other party had changed the topic at the last minute and was acting shamelessly, wouldn't that be embarrassing the royal family? He wouldn't admit it at all!
If Ye Fan couldn't answer, he could only say that he was useless. If he didn't remember the answer, he could only suffer a loss and be laughed at.
Therefore, even if Luo Bei Wang changed the topic, he wasn't worried that Ye Fan would say it out loud. That would only be disadvantageous to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan scratched his head. Although he had never gone to school, his memory was outstanding. Since he was young, other than cultivating, he had read a lot of books in order to be able to play various roles and become an outstanding assassin when he was on a mission.
Therefore, he could recite a lot of elegant things like poems and songs.
But the key was that it was a bit difficult for him to create three lines of poetry and have the words' Su Qingxue 'at the end.
The scene was very awkward and silent. Many of the civil officials were muttering to themselves, as if they were thinking about how to create something, but all of them were frowning.
Ye Xianqing secretly kicked Ye Danqing, who was beside her, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you known as the Painting Brush …" Hurry up and think for big brother! "
"My wonderful brush is to write, not to create poems. In such a short period of time, how can I think of three poems that have names at the end?" Ye Danqing said in a low voice with a bitter face.
Ye Shui was so scared that his face was covered in sweat, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. This was clearly someone deliberately trying to trip him up, wanting to embarrass Ye Fan and the Residence of Northern Marquis.
However, right now, no one could help him, so Ye Fan could only carry it himself!
"That... Academician Luo, may I ask if you know Li Bai?
"Li Bai? Who is it? "Luo Beiwang frowned.
Fan Xian's heart relaxed, and he asked with a smile, "Scholar Qing Lian, have you never heard of him?"
Many of the civil and military officials looked at each other, not knowing what Ye Fan was talking about.
"Ye Fan, why are you asking this person?" The Emperor of the Underworld asked.
Ye Fan was happy in his heart. He didn't even know Li Bai, so there probably weren't any powerful scholars who entered this world. No wonder the poems they sent over weren't that great, he should be able to fool them.
Ye Fan said with a serious face, "Your Majesty, it's like this. After I fell into the water the day before yesterday, a person called Li Bai, known as Qing Lian, appeared in my mind.
He said that he was entrusted by the heavens to give me a few poems, thus facilitating a golden marriage, and also telling me that my life should not end.
At that time, I thought it was just a dream. I didn't expect that in a trance, the poem that I had memorized in my mind would actually be able to be used today! "
The faces of the civil and military officials were filled with disbelief. Although they believed in the Heavenly Dao, they didn't believe that the heavens would care for such a trash.
Ye Shuangqing and the others were also stunned. What was going on?
"Ye Fan, you have to think this through. This is in front of His Majesty, and today is the day to marry the Grand Princess, not a joke.
If you want to find some other people's poems to fool His Majesty, that would be the crime of deceiving him!
Don't think that we'll believe you just because you made up a story. I, Luo Beiwang, may not be talented, but I still have some understanding of the contemporary poets … "
Luo Beiwang smiled as he stroked his beard. The meaning behind his words was obvious. Anyone who dared to plagiarize the works of other poets was courting death.
Clearing his throat, he opened his mouth and said, "The first sentence, 'Jade Duck Smokes Stove Leisurely Rui Brain, Zhu Ying Dou Tent Covers Tassel', the end just happens to be the word 'Su'.
The general meaning was that she was too lazy to light the best incense, too lazy to smell it. She sat upright in the palace, cold and boring. This was the life of the eldest princess in the palace. "
The entire audience was silent. The eyes of the civil officials began to shine, and the Emperor of the Underworld also revealed a strange expression.
Many of the women in the palace had complicated expressions on their faces. This was obviously their usual state. They lived a luxurious life, but it was very tasteless.
"Imperial Uncle, have you ever heard of this poem?" The Emperor of the Underworld asked.
Luo Beiwang recited it a few times, but he could only shake his head. "These two lines of poetry can be said to be a combination of movement and stillness, and it depicts the scene so vividly that it's unheard of."
"Oh? Could it be that the heavens really want to help Prince Consort Ye answer the question? "The Emperor of the Underworld asked with a smile," Then what about the next two sentences? "leaf
Fan Xian's heart was at ease. Alright, it seemed like Li Qingzhao and the others didn't know him either.
"The second sentence, 'On the pond, there are three or four points of moss, one or two orioles at the bottom of the leaves, and the day is long and light.' At the end of this sentence is the word 'light'.
The meaning is also very clear. It is a scene of exuberant vitality and endless interest. It is as happy as a bird, as free as flying cotton. This is the happiness that the princess yearns for. "
The Emperor of the Underworld looked at Luo Beiwang again. The latter's eyes were filled with surprise, his face was stiff with a smile, and he nodded and said, "Good sentence, good sentence..."
"Haha …" Although I don't know much about poetry, I can still tell that it is much lighter and happier than the previous sentence. I just wonder what kind of bird that 'Oriole' is? "The Emperor of the Underworld asked.
Fan Xian casually said, "This is what Householder Qing Lian told me. He said that it is a kind of divine bird with a voice as beautiful as immortal music. It is used to describe the princess' voice."
When the Emperor of the Underworld heard this, he was quite satisfied and smiled as he narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't expect that this Prince Consort would be so talkative." Empress Luo Feiyan said with a smile, "Qingxue marrying him is not afraid of boredom."
The Emperor of the Underworld nodded, "Good boy, tell me the last line of the poem that Householder Qing Lian told you …"
No one present was stupid, nor would they believe it so easily. What kind of Householder Qing Lian was sent by the heavens in his dream. can
However, no matter what reason Ye Fan had, it was harmless to tell such a story. After all, with so many civil officials present, none of them had heard of these poems, which meant that they were at least not plagiarized.
It was a pity that they did not know that Ye Fan's poems were not from this world at all.
Ye Fan nodded his head. Just as he was about to say the last sentence, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eyes that a beautiful figure was revealed by the window of the pavilion in front of him. A slender arm that was like white jade just happened to reveal half of its body …
Although he only saw half of his arm, Ye Fan's eyes still froze, and he immediately stood there in a daze.
After all, she was the woman he had spent the most time with in the past two years. Ye Fan was incomparably familiar with everything about Su Qingxue.
Just seeing the tip of the iceberg, Ye Fan felt his heartbeat quicken. He wished that he could immediately rush in to take a look!
Everyone present saw Ye Fan's dumbstruck expression, and quite a few people followed Ye Fan's gaze and immediately understood …
It seemed that the commotion in the exam outside had also fallen into the ears of the bride …
"Cough …" The Emperor of the Underworld revealed a trace of displeasure, "What's wrong? Have you forgotten the third line of the poem? "
This cough caused the beautiful figure in the pavilion to immediately hide.
Seeing that the beauty had hidden away, Ye Fan came back to his senses and opened his mouth to say, "The people at the edge of the palace are like the moon, their wrists are like frost and snow …"
He had slightly modified this sentence, but without a doubt, it was the most appropriate sentence. There was no need to explain what it meant.
And it was precisely such a poem that matched the situation that confirmed the guesses of many people!
