Chapter 491 Cao Wanning's Shocking Moves

Xie Ying guessed correctly, Cao Wanning really wanted to seize this opportunity.

Although Emperor Taihe pardoned the mother and son, Chen Shao's identity was too dangerous, and Emperor Taihe might not be willing to kill him again.

Even if Emperor Taihe did not take action, there were still many people in the Cao family who wanted to kill them and their son.

What happened to her was a great shame for the Cao family.

As long as the mother and son are alive, those people will regard them as thorns in their eyes and thorns in their flesh, and will want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Even if she secretly surrendered to Luo Zheng and was willing to work for him, once Emperor Taihe had the intention to kill her, how could Luo Zheng dare to disobey his order?

By then, they and their son will have no way out but death!

So Cao Wanning could never feel at ease.

It was not until she learned that the eldest princess and Concubine Jiang wanted to fund the construction of a girls' academy that she finally saw a bright future.

She had originally planned to become a female teacher in the girls' academy after it was built.

In this way, she can please the eldest princess and Concubine Jiang, and the female students she will train in the future will also give her more amulets.

Female students who can enter the academy must have extraordinary backgrounds, and their future husbands will also not be ordinary people.

As long as she can win over these female students, she will have a large number of connections and networks.

At that time, as long as she didn't seek death on her own initiative, the emperor would probably not be bothered by a little woman like her.

Cao Wanning had a very good plan, but she never expected that before the women's academy was built, Jiang Er would hold a poetry competition, giving her the opportunity to become famous!

Once she makes it to the finals, no matter what her final ranking is, she will become famous all over the world.

By then, neither Emperor Taihe nor the Cao family would easily touch her.

As soon as the news of the poetry competition came out, Cao Wanning knew that her chance had come.

So without any hesitation, I started preparing.

On the third day of the audition, she finally composed a satisfactory seven-character quatrain, praising the Princess and Concubine Jiang for donating money to build a girls' academy.

Signed by Cao Ziqing.

Ziqing is the name she chose for herself, which means that those who are clear will be clear by themselves.

When Jiang Er saw this poem, he didn't know it was written by Cao Wanning. He thought that the local literati in Suzhou were finally so irritated by the article that they couldn't sit still and started to flatter the eldest princess and Concubine Jiang.

Because he was so happy, he immediately ran to find Xie Xiu and said with disdain: "Look, these people really know how to flatter! I'm embarrassed for them!"

He got angry when he talked about it. "Before, I sent people to invite them to be my teacher, but they refused. Now, they even wrote poems to flatter me!"

If they had done this earlier, why would I have held this poetry competition?"

At the end, Jiang Er snorted disdainfully, but inwardly he was thinking happily: It seems this poetry competition is really a good idea! It can not only make money, but also severely irritate those hypocrites! We can hold it more often in the future!

Xie Xiu looked at the beautiful handwriting on the paper, as well as the three characters "Cao Ziqing", and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "This Cao Ziqing, I'm afraid it's that Madam Cao."

Jiang Er was stunned when he heard this: "Which Madam Cao are you talking about?"

Xie Xiu looked at him with a half-smile: "Of course it's the most famous lady Cao in Gusu right now."

Jiang Er's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you talking about... the Lady Cao who was snatched away by Chen Shao to be his wife?"

Xie Xiu smiled and said, "Apart from her, I'm afraid there's no other woman from the Cao family who would dare to participate in such a competition."

Jiang Er rubbed his chin, feeling troubled for a long time. He then carefully looked at the seven-character quatrain. He really couldn't bear to hide such a good poem, so he sighed and said, "Although her identity is a bit troublesome, it's just a poetry competition. It shouldn't matter, right?"

Xie Xiu knew what he was worried about, but he still said, "Even His Majesty has praised her loyalty, so why should you worry?"

Jiang Er was immediately convinced, so he said affirmatively: "You are right, and it is a pity to eliminate such a good poem!"

Why did he come to Gusu?

Why did the Jiang family donate so much money to build a school?

Isn’t it just to give Concubine Jiang a good reputation?

This poem is very well written. Once it is posted, it will surely spread quickly and help Concubine Jiang gain fame.

How could he give up such a great opportunity just because of that troublesome Chen Shao?

Even if Cao Wanning was the wife that Chen Shao robbed, and she gave birth to a son for him, so what?

Emperor Taihe pardoned the mother and son, so what else did he have to worry about?

Anyway, Cao Wanning's son is still very young. Even if the kid has other intentions, it will take more than ten years for him to grow up and cause trouble.

By that time, his sister would have become the queen, and his nephew would have grown up to become the crown prince.

Even if someone remembered this poem, would it affect his sister's status?

Jiang Er figured this out and decided to meet Cao Wanning.

So after he returned, he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Cao Wanning, asking her to meet him.

Cao Wanning had always wanted to curry favor with him, so seeing that he took the initiative to invite her, she naturally would not refuse.

So the two of them met secretly soon. Jiang Er made a special test to confirm that Cao Wanning had no intention of causing trouble, so he planned to help her and let her enter the finals.

In exchange, Cao Wanning also needed to continue writing poems and essays to praise Concubine Jiang and the eldest princess, and help Concubine Jiang become famous.

Cao Wanning agreed very readily.

She was eager to cling to the golden thighs of Concubine Jiang and the eldest princess, so how could she refuse?

So next, Jiang Er started to promote the event.

He was not stupid. Ever since he listened to Xie Xiu's advice and organized this poetry competition, he knew how to build momentum and use this competition to gain more benefits.

For him, whether it is the money earned from rewards or the selection of outstanding talents through this competition, it is still secondary.

The most important thing is to use this competition to win a good reputation for Concubine Jiang!

Therefore, Cao Wanning's poem can be said to have touched his heart.

After the poem was made public, Jiang Er not only secretly sent people to spend money to vote, but also asked people to sing the poem.

As a result, this poem spread throughout Gusu at the fastest speed and continued to spread outward.

This caused a lot of discussion among the people in Gusu.

Those literati who were already dissatisfied with Concubine Jiang were even more annoyed!

Some people even secretly asked Cao's family, suspecting that the poem was written by Cao's family.

Master Cao went straight to Cao Xuehai with a sullen face and said, "Did you see that poem? That's Wan Ning's handwriting, right?"

Cao Xuehai's expression was also extremely ugly: "This evil creature!"

Master Cao asked unhappily, "What should we do now? She flattered Concubine Jiang with this poem. If we don't let her continue the competition, I'm afraid we'll offend the Jiang family."

He didn't object to currying favor with Concubine Jiang, but Cao Wanning's flattery was too obvious, it was simply a disgrace to their Cao family!

Unfortunately, they couldn't stand up and object, otherwise they would offend Concubine Jiang!
