The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1057: Prestige Amidst Turmoil

Su Yu has been experiencing great success recently.

She wrote some poems that were spread around, and she instantly gained a reputation as a talented poetess. Many people praised her poetry endlessly.

Moreover, she has associated with several influential young noblemen from Suzhou City.

These young noblemen are not only handsome but their families are also wealthy and powerful. Although they cannot be compared to the Emperor or Princes, they are the best choices that Su Yu could interact with.

After all, Su Yu now dares not approach the royal family.

In truth, those Princesses and the Empress are too formidable, and Su Yu fears she might be harmed if she gets too close.

Currently, her relationships with those young noblemen are quite good, and she is carefully observing in order to choose the best one who loves her the most, to marry.

Su Yu just woke up from a nap this afternoon, sitting at her desk contemplating which poem to copy next.

The poems she copies were written by a person regarded by later generations as a poet immortal with extraordinary talent.

This person was also a Prime Minister who emerged a hundred years after the establishment of the Dajing Dynasty. His life was quite legendary, born in the countryside but was intelligent from a young age, able to write poetry praised highly by the County Magistrate at just seven, and entered the Imperial College in the Capital at ten, where he made many acquaintances.

This Prime Minister wrote many poems in his life, each one a masterpiece. When Su Yu studied in later generations, she learned the most poems by this person from elementary school to university, leaving a deep impression on her, and now, naturally, she chooses to copy his works.

After all, this Minister is a figure who will only appear a hundred years later, so even if she copies them, it’s no big deal.

Su Yu was pondering what to copy next, while Princess Fengyang had already taken a manuscript to find Anning.

She handed the manuscript to Anning: ”Queen Mother, have a look at how this poem is written?”

Anning glanced it over: ”Which talent wrote this? I quite like it. So, has my daughter taken a liking to this talent?”

Fengyang was a bit stunned: ”Queen Mother doesn’t know who wrote this?”

Anning shook her head: ”I don’t know, nowadays I’m quite busy and have no time to read these poems.”

That’s also true.

Fengyang bit her lip: ”This was written by Su Yu.”

Anning looked down, her gaze stopping on the page of Quang Jin Jiu: ”She copied it, didn’t she.”

This was not a question, but a statement.

Fengyang was increasingly surprised: ”How does Queen Mother confirm she copied it? Now Su Yu is living grandly based on these poems, the talents admire her exceedingly, yet Queen Mother claims she copied them.”

Fengyang herself is a transmigrant and naturally knows Su Yu copied them, but Fengyang knows Anning is not from a modern era, she doesn’t understand how Anning can say Su Yu’s poetry was copied.

Anning just smiled and let Fengyang sit beside her: ”Earlier I wanted to teach you poetry, but you wouldn’t learn, saying you’re not too fond of those literary things. Now, you can’t even see this. Come closer, I’ll explain it to you.”

Fengyang moved closer and Anning pointed to Quang Jin Jiu and said: ”This is clearly a poem urging drinking, you see, the environment where the poet wrote this poem must be a banquet gathered with many friends, also a drinking feast hosted at his home. The general meaning is about how fleeting time is, to seize the moment, indulge in pleasure, urging friends to drink freely, whoever doesn’t drink is not a true man. And this line, it’s obviously instructing his son to exchange precious items for wine, and this sentence, these must be the poet’s two friends, this poem was clearly written by a man with life experiences and married, yet how old is Su Yu? A delicate young girl, how could she write such poetry? Besides, she is staying with the Mei Family, she is a guest, how could the Mei Family let her host a banquet? A girl inviting friends for a drinking party, also saying not drinking is not proper, what decorum is this.”

Fengyang listened to Anning’s explanation sentence by sentence and suddenly smacked her head: ”Queen Mother is right, how come I didn’t think about it, it’s indeed like this, it’s obviously a copy, yet how do those talents not see it? Aren’t they blind.”

Anning just smiled: ”Perhaps some can see it, but simply do not wish to offend the Mei Family.”

”What about the Mei Family then?”

Fengyang wanted to ask why Mei Boqing didn’t stop Su Yu, but seeing a sharp glint in Anning’s eyes, she didn’t dare ask further.

Anning did not discuss the Mei Family any further but instead pointed out one by one each discordance in the poems to Fengyang, who listened very attentively.
