Qiao Yiqing sneered and opened her mouth: "The cockscomb is originally dyed with rouge, so why are you putting on light makeup today? It's just because I'm late at night, and my head is covered with frost even though I'm wearing it."

When Qiao Yiqing uttered the first sentence, the whole place fell into silence. When the last word came out, everyone was stunned.

After brewing in this weird atmosphere for a long time, the emperor finally made some movement.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" He said yes three times in a row, revealing his excitement and surprise.

He clapped violently, and everyone was awakened by the applause and admiration.

The Queen Mother chewed every word and sentence of Qiao Yiqing carefully, and the light in her eyes fell on Qiao Yiqing meticulously.

"Good poem, good poem, wonderfully composed!"

The princes and ministers were no less shocked than the emperor and the queen mother.

They looked dumbfounded, realizing the meaning of the poem, and smacked their lips and sighed.

As the name suggests, this cockscomb should be red. Now the Queen Mother wants people to compose poems in white, which is obviously to make things difficult, but Qiao Yiqing embodies the white color just right.

Just because I was too late to report it at midnight, I still wear it but my head is covered with frost.

One line of poetry rises directly from elegance and talent to philosophy of life! Wonderful, wonderful!

If I hadn’t read poetry and books, I would never have been able to write such exquisite poems!

Zhao Xixue never imagined that the former nymphomaniac would suddenly shine and steal her spotlight.

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and the smile she tried to maintain faded a lot.

Chu Jingchen looked at Qiao Yiqing in surprise, and the shock in his heart was stronger than anyone else's.

This big nympho has no talent or virtue, but he is able to compose poems that even great writers can only dream of!!!

What frustrated him the most was that she actually defeated the most talented woman in Donggao Kingdom, Zhao Xixue.

Qiao Yiqing looked at Chu Jingchen's shocked and angry face, and her smile deepened: "What does General Chu think of this poem?"

Chu Jingchen snorted angrily: "Humph, a blind cat meets a dead mouse, what a coincidence!"

"Since General Chu is still not convinced, the Queen Mother will set out another question to test the talented men and women present." Qiao Yiqing looked at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother also nodded when she heard this, having some confidence in the current Qiao Yiqing: "Okay. Eunuch Zhao, bring up the things prepared by the Ai family."

After receiving the order, Eunuch Zhao who was waiting at the side quickly brought a bamboo basket and placed it in the center of the hall.

The Queen Mother pointed to the bamboo basket and asked, "Everyone sitting here, what is this?"

Many people answered without thinking: "Bamboo basket!"

The Queen Mother smiled and continued to ask: "What's the use?"

After hearing this, everyone was confused. Is there anything special about this bamboo basket?

"Xixue, tell the Ai family, what is the use of this bamboo basket?" The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Xixue.

Zhao Xixue looked confused and couldn't figure out the Queen Mother's thoughts. She could only bite the bullet and said: "Pack something."

"What about you, what's the answer?" The Queen Mother glanced at the audience.

Chu Jingchen naturally supported Zhao Xixue: "Putting things in, otherwise what else can you do?"

"Haha, then why can't you pretend to be north and south?" The Queen Mother asked with a sly smile, which made Chu Jingchen extremely stunned.

Zhao Xixue laughed: "Because the north and the south can't pretend."

"Then why can things be installed?"

The Queen Mother's aggressiveness rendered Zhao Xixue speechless.

Immediately, the whole place fell silent, a little angry at the Queen Mother for making things difficult.

"Queen Mother, no one can answer your question." Chu Jingchen retorted unhappily.

At this time, the emperor glanced at Qiao Yiqing and laughed mysteriously: "Hahaha, I think someone can answer it. Qiao Yiqing, what do you think?"

Hearing the emperor's personal roll call, everyone's eyes turned to Qiao Yiqing. After what happened just now, everyone had expectations.

Qiao Yiqing smiled indifferently and said nonchalantly: "Who doesn't know that wood is A and Yi in the east, fire is Bing and Ding in the south, earth is Wu and Ji in the center, gold is Geng and Xin in the west, and water is Ren Kui in the north. The north and south are fire and water, and bamboo baskets cannot contain them naturally, but east and west

It’s wood and gold, so of course it can be put into a bamboo basket, Your Majesty, do you think so?”

When the emperor heard this, he had to admire Qiao Yiqing's intelligence and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you actually have research on the Five Elements. As far as I know, not many women like these Five Elements, but you are so proficient in them. You are truly a talented woman!"

After receiving such high praise from the emperor, Qiao Yiqing was neither arrogant nor arrogant and said: "I only know a little bit. If my talent can be called a talented woman, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

As he said that, Qiao Yiqing looked at Zhao Xixue and raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically.

Zhao Xixue was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly and tried hard to maintain a decent self-cultivation.

Little did she know that Qiao Yiqing was hiding something hidden in her clothes, targeting her everywhere and mocking her every time.

How dare you mock her talent and make people laugh out loud, damn it!

Zhao Xixue suppressed the fire in her heart and smiled gracefully: "Haha, sister is so talented, I admire you so much."

"I think you are envious and jealous."

"Forehead--"

Zhao Xixue was choked again and was speechless.

The emperor saw that the two people were at war with each other. If the two juniors continued to argue, it would inevitably hurt the harmony of the Minister of Rites and the Prime Minister, so he said: "Okay, now is the birthday celebration. All ladies, please present your own show."

After hearing this, the overt and covert fight between Zhao Xixue and Qiao Yiqing came to an end.

Soon, all the rich ladies who had a show were led backstage by the palace maid.

I thought that Qiao Yiqing was no longer stupid enough to humiliate herself and would not participate in the performance, but she did not expect that she also left her seat.

Chu Jingchen became curious about Qiao Yiqing for the first time.
