Often accompanied by the phoenix side of poetry, the rise of the phoenix palace poetry Chun;

The Queen heard of his poems and was shocked by his talents.

Time passed by slowly like this. As a palace maid, there was nothing else she could do other than serve her master every day. Since Rong'er had been taught very well since he was a child, her father had taught her many poems and books, so the empress liked her very much.

That morning, the empress had returned from greeting the empress dowager and was chatting with Rong'er about a poem. The empress smiled and said, ”The other poems that I've read are still so-so, but this poem is really far from good.”

”The empress is too modest. The empress is someone who's familiar with hundreds of books, so how can she only know how to read and not know how to chant?” Rong'er respectfully replied.

”I won't. You and I often talk about other people's poems. Today, I also want to hear Rong'er recite a poem.” The queen laughed.

”Empress, Rong'er doesn't know much either. How could he dare to make a fool of himself?” Rong'er said with a smile.

”Don't be modest. I will think, hmm, how about we use 'Spring' as the topic? It's spring now, is it not hard? ” said the Empress.

”The question of spring is not that difficult. There are many poems in this world that are focused on spring. If the empress wants to hear them, Rong'er can recite them. I dare not make a fool of myself in front of the empress.” Rong'er replied with a smile.

”Rong'er, don't be modest. You can sing a song.” The queen laughed.

Seeing that the empress had already given her orders, Rong'er couldn't delay any further. He then said softly, ”This servant will be making a fool of myself. If I can't sing well, empress, don't laugh at Rong'er.”

”Rong'er, feel free to say anything.” The empress smiled.

Rong'er looked out of the window, pondered for a while and slowly chanted:

If the Dao Tree was stronger than others, how could it know that the grass was weak and had no power?

Rong'er finished reciting a poem and looked towards the empress. The empress looked at Rong'er, who was about to speak, and shouted, ”The emperor has arrived.” The Queen stood up to greet him.

Xuan Ye went into the palace to pay his respects before saying, ”Just now, I went to pay my respects to my royal grandmother. My royal grandmother said that the empress's health was slightly unwell, so I came over to take a look.”

The empress smiled and said, ”Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just that I've caught a slight chill. It's been a few days, but it's almost done.”

”Oh, I seem to have heard you reciting a poem while I was at the door.” As soon as Xuan Ye entered the room, he heard a faint sound as if he was reciting a poem.
