Chapter 865

Because the second half of the couplet that Mo Chuan was pointing at was written by the green clothed girl.

Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help looking up at Mo Chuan. Her lips slightly moved, as if she wanted to ask: Emperor, did you make the wrong choice?

But she saw that Mo Chuan was focused on the couplet and not looking at the green clothed girl, so she swallowed the words she was about to say.

"It seems like the emperor only meant what he said, he didn't want to choose that ugly girl as his empress. Wu, not bad, not bad. Just from the couplets alone, this ugly girl's second line is indeed the most beautiful." Empress Dowager Zhou thought.

She looked at the girl in green's couplet and recited, "If there are worms in the water, it will be turbid. If there are fish in the water, it will be fishing. Water, water, water, water, rivers, lakes, lakes. Below the tree is the root, above the tree is the end. Wood, wood, wood, pine, cypress, camphor, forest! Wonderful! It was indeed wonderful! I also think that this second verse is the most appropriate! Su Jin, immediately order people to carve it on the pillars on both sides of the Happy Heart Pavilion. From today onwards, the Happy Heart Pavilion will be changed to Songjiang Pavilion. Emperor, what do you think? "

"Mother's words match your son's thoughts. The Song River Pavilion is very good." Mo Chuan replied with a faint smile.

"Alright, then it's settled."

Empress Dowager Zhou kept praising, only praising the second verse. She didn't mention the green clothed girl at all and didn't ask for her name. It was clear she didn't consider her a choice for the empress at all.

The young girls were all intelligent people and immediately saw through it. They were all secretly delighted and thought, no matter how good the girl in green's second half was, so what if it was carved on the Song River Pavilion? Didn't the Emperor and the Empress Dowager still look down on her?

An ugly freak is an ugly freak!

Not only was she ugly, she was also a cripple. If it was her, with her ugly appearance, no matter what, she would be too embarrassed to show her face in public, let alone dare to enter the Imperial Palace and become the Empress. She was just a pheasant, how could she fly up the branches and become a phoenix?

Dream on!

The green clothed girl stood in the middle of the girls, looking calm and composed. Of course she understood Empress Dowager Zhou's meaning, but there was not a trace of sadness, disappointment, or depression on her face. She did not feel proud or happy that her couplet was chosen.

She had a calm expression, like nothing had happened at all.

Although Empress Dowager Zhou deliberately ignored her, she couldn't help sneaking glances at her. The more she looked, the more she appreciated this green clothed girl.

This was truly being unfazed by favour or disgrace!

It was as if she had suddenly found a piece of shining gold in a pile of mud. She wanted to pick it up, but she felt that the gold was stained with dirt. If she picked it up, she would dirty her clothes.

A pity, this was truly a pity!

Empress Dowager Zhou suppressed the regret in her heart. She looked at the young girls and spoke again with a smile.

"I want to test you again. I have a question that I want you to answer. You don't have to worry about anything. Just answer whatever you think. I want to hear the truest answer."

"Empress Emat you. Dowager." The girls replied in together.

Empress Dowager Zhou took a sip of tea and moistened her throat before slowly saying, "If you become the empress ….."

As soon as they heard the word 'Empress', the faces of the girls all became hot. Their eyes sparkled and their hearts jumped.

He heard Empress Dowager Zhou continue to say, "This widow and the emperor fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
