Chapter 89 Yaohua in the Snow
Xuan Yuan thought Geng Yan's son Geng Bai was the person whom King Rong arranged the bride recruitment meeting the most, but unexpectedly, King Rong made a plank road openly to secretly cross Chen Cang. In fact, all the bets were on Gu Li.
Looking at Xuan Yuan whose face became less beautiful, Lin Mo knew that Xuan Yuan had been the King of Rong this time, but Xuan Yuan's face was not too ugly. After all, he still had two more people, so the outcome of the literary test was not accurate.
I have to say that King Rong is really good at playing this trick. It is probably his concubine and military advisor. Xu Qiuniang gave him the idea that he almost fooled Lin Mo. If Gu Li had not studied at Yan Guotai Academy.
Lin Mo didn’t know Gu Li, but Yan Baiyu knew about it. When he was having breakfast this morning, Yan Baiyu specifically mentioned some of Gu Li’s deeds at Yan Guotai Academy.
Although Gu Li is big and thick and looks like a rough man, he was quite talented when he was studying at Yan Guo Tai Academy and was even known as one of the four talents among the Tai students two years ago.
After Gu Li's studies at Yan Guotai College ended, Yan Baiyu wanted to grant him an official position and let him contribute to Yan Guo, but Gu Li refused and returned to the imperial capital.
Lin Mo could roughly guess why Gu Li refused. At that time, Yan State's national strength was too low and he had no status among the major vassal states. Moreover, serving the Daqian court was the longing of most officials in the world.
Just after the incense burned, three of them had already written it, but everyone found that there were still seven people who had not started writing, including Lin Mo, and found that Lin Mo was just looking around.
Everyone began to mutter in their hearts whether Lin Mo could not write poetry at all? Or did he directly abstain from power? No matter what, Lin Mo and the other six people did not write, which was something that both parties in Ronghou were willing to see.
Emperor Daqian and Empress Daqian were panicked, especially Emperor Daqian. Looking at Lin Mo who had not written a word, he thought without thinking, would Lin Ziyong have to give up halfway?
Although Emperor Daqian doesn't want to watch this, if he lets either party of Ronghou win the bride conference and marry Princess Rena, it would be a disaster for him!
What’s even more panicked than Emperor Daqian is Princess Rena. If Lin Mo gave up, the meaning of her coming to Daqian would be gone, let alone continuing the subsequent plan. The previous kung fu was all versatile!
Seeing Emperor Daqian who kept making secrets of his eyes, the worry-faced power forward and Princess Rena, Lin Mo also knew that he should move, otherwise they should be anxious and just tease them.
After giving Princess Rena an ambiguous look, she teased her again, Lin Mo picked up the pen and wrote it. The writing speed was quite fast, and it was done in one go without any pauses in the middle.
Seeing Lin Mo like this, the two parties of Ronghou suddenly realized this time. Lin Mo did it on purpose. Emperor Daqian and Empress Daqian secretly relaxed and let go of their worries.
Princess Rena, who was covering her face with a purple veil, breathed a sigh of relief, and blew the thin and slightly, revealing a sexy and seductive lips.
After a while, the fragrance was burned, and only Lin Mo and the other six finished the poem. The other six people did not write a word. Everyone began to guess that these six people were here to play.
In fact, these six people came to visit this literary test just to have fun, just to go through the motions, not because of anything else, but because not only Jian Chen was arranged by Lin Mo, but the other five people were arranged by Lin Mo.
Princess Rena's wedding was a bride recruitment conference. According to the information from Yezhe that Lin Mo received, King Rong arranged a total of 44 people and Xuan Yuan arranged a total of 56 people. What Lin Mo had to do was simple. Just add the total number of people in this bride recruitment conference to Lin Mo himself, and there were 154 people. In this way, Lin Mo would be 100% sure to pass the martial arts examination and advance to the literary examination.
First of all, one hundred and fifty-four people started the first round of fifty, and one by one, there would be seventy-seven people left. Lin Mo just used a strategy to disguise himself as a little eunuch of Sili, and then deal with his first round of Ling Chen.
So Ling Chen appeared in the room of the Rosary Girl in Huanlefang.
The second round is even better. Seventy-seven is odd, and the bye will definitely be drawn to the lottery and advance directly to the third round. This is the most fair for the contestants. The eunuch of Sili is arranged by Lin Mo, so the bye is destined to be Lin Mo.
After the second round, Lin Mo, who was added to the bye, will have thirty-nine people left, and they are still odd. Therefore, there will be someone in the third round that will become the bye, so Lin Mo becomes the bye again and advance again.
In the fourth round of the martial arts test, it would be easier for Lin Mo to take over Shen Yuxiu, the young owner of the Sword Villa. Shen Yuxiu was obsessed with practicing and wanted to join the Mo Sect for a long time, how dare he fight against Lin Mo?
The incense burned, and Jian Chen, who had not written a word, was sent out of Wenying Hall by Gao Yue. They were no longer qualified. For Lin Mo, the mission and tasks of the six of them were also completed.
Ling Chen and six others gave up the second round of the literary examination, and were sent to Wenying Hall by Gao Yue.
After sending out of Wenying Palace, Ling Chen and the other six people did not stop. After leaving the palace, the six people rode on horses and galloped towards Yan State, returned to Moyun Mountain, and continued their practice.
The maid from the Western Regions behind him handed over the poems written by Lin Mo and four others to Princess Rena. After reading them briefly, Princess Rena began to read them.
"My dear lords of Daqian, Xueyao first reads the poem written by Mr. Gu Li. The warm sun shines on the dry sky in winter, and the plain snow reflects the world. The beautiful flowers and beautiful women compete together, and there is Yao Xian in Wenying's palace."
Just as soon as he thought about it, everyone in Wenying's palace cheered and cheered Gu Li. The people of the Honor Party cheered, and even some of the Later Party secretly gave Gu Li a thumbs up.
Even Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, who was sitting beside Emperor Daqian, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Listening to this poem, Lin Mo also praised it very much. The beauty of flowers and the fairy in this poem not only praised Princess Rena, but also praised Empress Daqian and Empress Xuan Shu.
In addition, today is a winter season with warm sunshine. Not only does Gu Li's poem come true, but it can even please several beauties in Wenying's Palace. This literary talent is indeed rare.
After reciting Gu Li's poem, Princess Rena began to recite the second person: "The next song is written by Lin Shangqing. I would like to ask all the great masters of Daqian to appreciate it and discuss the heights. One pot, two pots, three or four pots..."
As soon as I read this sentence, the audience burst into laughter. Emperor Daqian and Empress Daqian's faces became ugly again. They all wrote about it, one, two, three or four pots? Is this fun?
Geng Bai, the father of Geng Yan, who was suffering by Lin Mo, seized the opportunity to mock everyone in front of everyone: "Sir, everyone says that you are unparalleled in wisdom, but can you know nothing about poetry and verses!"
As he said that, he drank a glass of wine, Geng Bai Kaiyan smiled and said, "What are you writing about? Guess, can you tell me your next sentence is five pots, six pots, seven or eight pots?"
The audience burst into laughter again, and even the three of Wang Rong and Empress Dowager Xuan Yuan and Xuan Shu held back their laughter, but the expression on Princess Rena's face was wonderful.
As soon as Geng Bai's words fell, Lin Mo immediately looked admiring and said happily: "Oh, Doctor Geng is really my soulmate, you are completely right!"
At this time, Princess Rena said again: "Five pots, six pots, seven or eight pots."
"Hahaha--"
The whole audience laughed again. King Rong and Empress Dowager Xuan Yuan and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu could no longer hold back and laughed. It turned out that Lin Mo was good at wisely, but he was an ignorant person, and he was also a lustful person!
The face of Emperor Dagan became even more ugly. If it weren't for everyone present, I'd probably rushed down and questioned Lin Mo, asking him if he did it on purpose or had already defected to one of the two parties in Ronghou.
At this time, Princess Rena recited again: "The human capital is full of flowers, except for Xueyao, it is not a flower."
As soon as these two sentences came out, the laughter of the audience suddenly stopped, and they were all stunned, all looking incredible. Princess Rena looked at Lin Mo's eyes, and it was even more thrilling, filled with admiration.
After hearing this, the Queen of Dagan was delighted, and the Emperor of Dagan couldn't help but applaud Lin Mo repeatedly; "I think the imperial capital is full of flowers, except Xueyao, it's not a flower. It's so wonderful, it's so wonderful!"
The Emperor Dagan was happy, but Empress Dowager Xuanshu was not very happy.
Empress Dowager Xuan Shu thought to herself: What do you mean by Lin Mo? Is your implication that except for Princess Rena named Xueyao, the other women in Wenying Hall are not flowers, and they are not worthy of fighting with flowers?
However, the queen, who is also a woman, would not care about these things and smiled and said, "Lin Qing's writing is wonderful. Xueyao is a flower, the Yaohua in the snow. You Xueyao is not only a flower, but also a beauty like Princess Rena!"
Yaohua, also known as "Qionghua", is also known as the Gathering Eight Immortals and Butterfly Flowers. The flowers are as big as plates and as white as jade as snow. When a large number of Yaohuas bloom together, there is a scene of "butterflies flying all over the mountains".
"Thank you for your praise to me!" Lin Mo wanted to keep Empress Dagan's praise.
As for the somewhat angry Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, Lin Mo couldn't control it. At this time, Empress Dowager Xuan Shu didn't have the ability to do anything to Lin Mo, so she could only endure it.
Besides, Lin Mo knew that the Hou Dang was clearly controlled by Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, but the real core figure was Xuan Yuan. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was just a symbol, and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu was ultimately a person in the harem.
After paying tribute to the Queen Dagan, Lin Mo saluted to Princess Rena and said, "The noble Princess Rena of the Western Regions, this poem is specially written for you. I hope you will like it. You are the most beautiful Yaohua in the snow in my heart, extremely holy!"
"Thank you for your praise, Xueyao is very grateful." Princess Rena replied, but her words were in control. After all, the victory is not yet decided.
"One pot, two pots, three or four pots, five pots, six pots, seven or eight pots. The imperial capital is full of flowers, except for Xueyao, it is not a flower."
Geng Bai silently recited Lin Mo's poem in his heart, and saw that there were eight pots of flowers on the table, and among the eight pots of flowers, there happened to be one of the pots of Yao flowers. He knew in his heart that Lin Mo must have a place in the top three.
After discussing Lin Mo's poem "Yaohua in the Snow", Princess Rena read another poem between the two, which was quite good, but it was worse than Lin Mo.
After some review, the top three of the literary tests came out. The first was Lin Mo, the second was Gu Li, the third was the person named "Shi Chang" arranged by Xuan Yuan, and the fourth was also a person under Xuan Yuan's command, named Yuan Hao.
