As long as I stay in the Empress' Palace, I am invincible!

Chapter 18 Talent competition, shocking everyone

Ye Chen spoke slowly: "Liang Dong, Your Majesty borrowed food to alleviate the disaster. Your Liang family lent food, which can be regarded as a service to the court."

"I can win you any way I choose, and I don't have to pay back the borrowed food. Wouldn't this put Your Majesty in an unkind place?"

"It's okay not to gamble in this game."

Luo Hongyan glanced at Ye Chen, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She thought Ye Chen had agreed directly.

If you win like that there will indeed be some bad effects.

"What the Empress said is true. Liang Dong, you are still young. Don't make fun of such things."

Luo Hongyan said calmly.

Liang Dong sneered in his heart, he didn't think he would lose at all!

He had already found out who Ye Chen was. He was just a small person from a small place!

What a waste!

He must know nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting!

He, Liang Dong, has only learned martial arts. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his cultivation has reached the Ningyang level. Isn't it easy to defeat Ye Chen?

"Empress, if everyone can appreciate your peerless talent, it will be worth the loss of a little food for our Liang family."

Liang Dong's father also arrived here, and he smiled and spoke.

Prince Changping told him that Ye Chen had offended the Queen Mother!

If they can embarrass Ye Chen, or even make Ye Chen lose his position as empress, the Queen Mother will help make Liang Dong the empress!

Even if they don't succeed, the Liang family can still be appreciated by the Queen Mother!

"Empress, since the Liang family has such an idea, why not help the Liang family?"

"Yes, the Empress, we all want to appreciate the Empress's peerless talent. Without her peerless talent, His Majesty would not have chosen the Empress!"

"Empress, please let us open our eyes!"

Many other people spoke one after another. Among the royal relatives present, there were not a few who supported Prince Mu and the others.

They all want to see Ye Chen’s jokes!

Liang Dong raised his voice again at this time: "Empress, I, Liang Dong, petition again. If the Empress wins, our Liang family will donate one million taels of silver for disaster relief!"

Everyone's eyes showed surprise, one million taels of silver was not a small amount.

If all the food does not need to be repaid, and another million taels of silver are donated, it will definitely be a thorn in the side of the Liang family!

"The empress is benevolent and righteous. I think she won't refuse!"

Liang Dong said loudly.

He sneered in his heart, how could he refuse Ye Chen in such a situation!

Ye Chen is still unwilling. When the news spreads, a hat that does not care about the life and death of the people will have to be put on Ye Chen's head!

"So, I must agree?"

Ye Chen spoke slowly.

Liang Dong smiled and said: "Empress, everyone is waiting to see your peerless talent. Empress, if you choose other aspects, you can compete directly. If you choose talent, we have to move to the high platform."

Sound transmission can be isolated in the high platform!

Some people come here to recommend themselves. They are good at poetry and so on. If they can't isolate the sound transmission, they can cheat!

Ye Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Liang Dong, let me choose my talents and study. Since you let me choose, you can choose any one of poems, lyrics, and couplets, otherwise I will take advantage of you."

After saying that, Ye Chen walked down from the second floor, and Chunlan and the four of them followed Ye Chen.

"Empress, I'm not polite, I choose poetry!"

"Let's give each other questions!"

Liang Dong said and jumped onto the high platform gracefully. With his Ning Yang level cultivation, this was easy for him!

There were stairs next to the high platform, and Ye Chen slowly entered the high platform.

Luo Hongyan looked a little nervous in her heart. She knew that Ye Chen was good at poetry, but it would be much more difficult to ask questions in public!

"Please ask the emperor and empress to come up with a question."

Liang Dong said with confidence.

Ye Chen shook his head: "I don't know how to play it very well, so you can come up with the questions first."

Reciting poems and writing poems is a thing for rich men. Ye Chen was just an ordinary person in the city before!

Liang Dong's eyes flickered.

"Emperor and Empress, if that's the case, then I'll come up with the title first! Ask the Empress and Empress to compose a seven-character poem. The poem must contain the four characters spring, rain, grass and willow."

Luo Hongyan frowned slightly, Liang Dong's question had so many requirements, which basically eliminated the possibility of cheating!

It turns out that nine out of ten poems I have written and read are useless!

A poem must have seven words. This is the first condition.

Also includes rain, grass, spring, and willow.

That adds up to five conditions!

There are many people in Juxian Building who are good at writing poems, but when they heard Liang Dong's question, they also frowned.

"Empress, how about we set the time limit on one stick of incense? It's too long and everyone will be impatient to wait!"

Liang Dong said proudly.

He didn't believe that Ye Chen could complete this question!

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said: "Liang Dong, I will leave you the time of a stick of incense. My poem has been completed. Listen carefully."

"The light rain on the sky street is as moist as butter, and the color of grass looks far away but is not there up close."

"The best thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows that fill the imperial capital."

Liang Dong was startled, so fast?

"Rain, grass, spring, willows, they all have it...hiss, this poem is amazing!"

"This poem by the Emperor and Empress can be passed down from generation to generation!"

After carefully tasting Ye Chen's poem, some people in the Juxian Building were shocked that they could write such a powerful poem in such a short time.

"I still underestimated this guy!"

Luo Hongyan relaxed, reciting Ye Chen's poem silently in her heart, with admiration in her eyes.

She can also write poetry, but she cannot compose such a poem.

Not to mention that it was done under certain conditions and in such a short time!

Liang Dong's face became very ugly, but his appreciation ability was still good. Ye Chen, this is a poem that will last forever!

How could he do it!

"Liang Dong, it's time for me to come up with the question."

"Just compose a poem under the same conditions. Since you set such conditions, I think you should have a draft in mind."

Ye Chen said with a smile.

Liang Dong's body froze, how could he have any clues!

If King Changping hadn't wanted them to target Ye Chen, he wouldn't have been so cruel!

This time he shot himself in the foot!

"I, I..."

Liang Dong searched his intestines and scraped his belly.

If it weren't for Ye Chen Jinyu in front of him, he might be able to write a passable poem in a quarter of an hour.

Now he could only deny himself again and again in his mind, and in a short time there was sweat on his forehead.

"Liang Dong, come down. This poem by the Emperor and Empress is enough to be passed down to the world. You can't write a better poem."

Liang Dong's father said at this time, his heart was bleeding.

He actually lost like this!

There is no suspense about losing!

If the difference is not big, they can still quibble and play the second and third games!

Now there is no point even comparing the second and third games, the gap is so big that they are desperate!

Thinking of the countless grains lent and the millions of taels of silver promised to be donated, Liang Dong's father had the urge to vomit blood.

"Empress, I...lost!"

Liang Dong said dejectedly, what he was best at in the academy was poetry, but he didn't expect to be beaten up by Ye Chen!

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "You, the Liang family, have also made contributions to the victims of disasters all over the world. Even though you are defeated, you are still honored!"

Some people present looked strange.

If you lose, you will lose. Even if you lose, you are still proud of yourself.

The Liang family provoked the emperor and the empress, but was beaten by the emperor. This was a joke to the Liang family!

"Empress, I still want to compete!"

Liang Dong gritted his teeth and said, "Since the Empress is so talented, she should be good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. If you win, Empress, our Liang family will donate another million taels of silver. If you lose, there will be no conditions!"

The Liang family's reputation cannot be lost like this. Liang Dong knows that he must find a way to restore the Liang family's reputation!

If Ye Chen doesn't compete, it means that he can't compete with him in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The Liang family can save some of their reputation!

If Liang Dong wins, the Liang family can regain most of its reputation!

Ye Chen looked at Luo Hongyan.

Luo Hongyan instantly understood what Ye Chen meant, and she said calmly: "Liang Dong, I and the Empress cannot take advantage of your Liang family."

"Liang Dong, if you win, you can take back the one million taels of silver that your Liang family promised just now, and the donated one million taels will come from my inner treasury!"

Liang Dong's eyes lit up: "As per your Majesty!"

If he wins, he can recover the one million taels of silver, and at least the family’s losses will be less!

Ye Chen said softly: "Liang Dong, His Majesty has said so. It's hard for me to refuse, but I remind you that you might lose this game. If you lose, your Liang family will have to pay two hundred Ten thousand taels of silver!"

Liang Dong's father laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, the Empress, our Liang family can still afford this little money!"

Liang Dong's father has great confidence in Liang Dong!

Ye Chen comes from a humble background and is busy making a living. He may have read some books and is good at poetry, but playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting need to be cultivated from an early age!
