Chapter 357 Speak Well, Don't Move Your Feet
"The judges have been invited. They are King Xian, King Rui, and several famous Confucians and scholars in the capital. For the sake of fairness, when you compose poems, please write your names on the back, and the judges will score them one by one. The highest one wins. Now the judges are resting, and when you finish, they will come up to give you a score."

King Xian has always been impartial and has a very good reputation. Everyone is not worried about shady scenes at all.Prince Rui was cruel, suspicious, gloomy and uncertain, and I believe that no literati would dare to bribe him.

The middle-aged man said: "Everyone can go to the left and right sides of the venue. We have placed a lot of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for this grand event. Time is the time of a stick of incense."

I saw the waiter put an incense burner on a table on the high platform, with a tall incense stuck in it.The time for this incense stick is naturally longer than usual, because there are too many people participating, and those who are left behind will waste a long time when they get the pen and paper and start writing.

Seeing that Huoxue didn't move, Xing Yujie said, "Let's go, don't you want to compose poetry?"

Huoxue smirked: "Don't worry, let's discuss something first."

Xing Yujie asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Huoxue said in a low voice: "I will write, you will write, and write your name as a poet. I only want a prize, and the fame belongs to you."

Xing Yujie said conceitedly: "It's a joke! You still need to admit the truth? The truth is at least a well-known talent, so he can naturally write good poems."

Huoxue also proudly said: "That's okay, anyway, the organizers didn't say how many songs are limited to each person. You will make one in a while, and I will make another, let's see which one wins."

Xing Yujie looked at him suspiciously: "Are you so confident? Don't think that writing poetry is easy just because you were in the teahouse and everyone praised you. There are many talented people in the capital, and poetry depends on inspiration. Absolutely sure to be number one."

Huoxue said to herself: "Of course I have confidence. If I don't get the first place, how about paying you 1000 taels of silver? If you win with my poem, the prize belongs to me."

Not knowing where Huoxue got such confidence, Xing Yujie asked strangely, "Why didn't you write it yourself?"

Huoxue looked at him like an idiot: "You are stupid, have you forgotten that I am an eunuch who can only read a few words? I can't write anything, it's good to know."

Xing Yujie said boldly: "It's okay, I can write the truth for you, just add your name, don't be embarrassed."

Huoxue kicked him lightly: "Are you stupid?"

Xing Yulou bent down and patted the dirt on his legs, and reprimanded: "Speak well, don't move your feet."

Huoxue said: "Didn't you see Princess Wuyou and Mo Yingying sitting over there? They all know me. Although I don't attract attention in this dress, once I go to the high stage to accept the award, I will be caught by them." Recognize it, and publicly say that I am a eunuch..."

Xing Yujie joked: "Hey, don't you often say that eunuchs are also human beings? Eunuchs are eunuchs, and they are not ashamed."

Huoxue blushed, straightened her neck and said stubbornly: "I'm afraid that they will go to the palace and talk to the emperor, in case the emperor won't let me out..."

Xing Yujie had an expression on his face that he knew, and agreed: "So confident? I haven't done it yet, so I'm thinking about accepting the award on stage. Okay, write the real name."

Huoxue instructed: "When you come to the stage to receive the award, you will say that you did it."

Xing Yujie didn't believe that she could win the award at all.An eunuch who can't read a few words, if he writes one or two poems by chance, can he still be good every time?
