When Xiaobao saw An An challenging him, of course he replied with his hands on his hips in a dissatisfied tone:

"Let's compare. Since we're competing, let's compete a little bigger, eh?"

He pondered there for a while and then continued: "It's better to do this. Whoever loses is a puppy, and he has to learn how to bark like a puppy."

An An blinked slyly a few times, then raised her head arrogantly,

"Okay, then it's settled, whoever loses will imitate the barking of a puppy, and whoever cheats will be the puppy."

Seeing the two children deadlocked here, Luo Lan quickly comforted him softly:

"An'an, Xiaobao is younger than you, you have to let him."

Leng Xi sat there and frowned, and said coldly and unconvinced:

"Age doesn't mean how knowledgeable you are. Since the two children are determined to compete, let's compete. It's just for fun today's lunch and for Father to see if you have real talent and learning. Don't just talk about it.

Big talk."

"I'm not boasting. I can do it, but Xiaobao may not be able to do it. If Xiaobao can't do it, I can do it all."

"You are bragging. My father said that I will become the smartest and most knowledgeable person in Daning Kingdom in the future. You are just a girl. You will get married sooner or later. What's the use of being knowledgeable?"

"What's wrong with girls? My mother said that Hua Mulan can join the army for her father, and Mu Guiying can lead the battlefield. They are both girls, and I can be as brave as them!"

"Okay, don't argue anymore."

When the emperor saw the two children arguing endlessly, he suddenly frowned in displeasure.

"It's unbecoming to keep arguing and arguing without stopping even after eating."

Seeing that the emperor had spoken, Concubine Li pursed her lips, raised her handkerchief and wiped her fingers lightly, raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully:

"An'an, girls should be quieter, otherwise they won't be able to get married in the future."

An An pursed her lips, rolled her eyes in displeasure, and pouted:

"It's Xiaobao who is too showy. Why don't you talk to him? Why do you insist on talking about me, a girl? How can I not be quiet?"

Her retort made Li Fei's face turn pale instantly. Lele, who was sitting aside, blinked and muttered:

"An'an, you can't talk to adults like this, because you are a child. Even if you are right, others will think you are rude. You can't stand Xiaobao's arrogance. You can use the knowledge you have learned to convince him.

Instead of just arguing here, why not let's compete in poetry recitation!"

As soon as Lele said these words, Li Fei's face became even more ugly. The words spoken by such a young child were actually thorny. She couldn't confront him yet. This really made her feel like a mute eating yellow lotus and having a mouth to speak.

feeling.

Leng Yu, who had been silent all this time, cleared his throat and said:

"An'an, if you have the ability to win over others, you can initiate a challenge. If not, don't show off. Many times, the people who quarrel are the least capable people."

An An looked at Leng Yu and said seriously:

"Dad, I don't want to challenge others, I just can't stand that some people like to brag and be arrogant."

Seeing An An say this, Xiaobao, who was sitting aside, suddenly turned red in displeasure and roared:

"Who are you saying is bragging? Don't you want to compete? Let's compete. Whoever loses will not only learn to bark like a dog, but also learn to crawl like a dog. How about that?"

An An also stared at him with her hands on her hips unconvinced, "Okay, then it's settled, whoever loses and barks like a dog will be the puppy."

The fun between the two children piqued the emperor's interest. He waved his hand with interest.

"Okay, since you are so interested, how about using couplets to compete, and I will be the referee?"

Seeing this, An An and Xiaobao bowed together and said:

"Grandpa Lao Huang is here."

After seeing the emperor nodding, An An was the first to speak:

"Then let my father make the first couplet, and we will pair up."

Xiaobao stared at him with big eyes, unconvinced,

"No, I want my father to come up with the first couplet. Let's get it right. Whoever answers it first, neatly and smoothly, will win."

An An nuzzled her nose and raised her eyebrows disdainfully,

"Okay, then there's Grandpa Lao Huang."

The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, nodded, and pondered to himself for a while. After a long while, he slowly spoke out the first couplet,

"Spring fills the world with bursts of joyful singing."

Xiaobao was the first to raise his hand and answered:

"The family is blessed with happiness and joy."

"good."

Li Fei was the first to smile and clapped her hands happily. Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao also had proud expressions on their faces.

An An looked at him with disdain, "It's just one correct answer. What's there to be happy about?"

The emperor calmed down and continued:

"A thousand purples and reds, a hundred flowers blooming."

This time An An answered first:

"Three rivers and four seas, the harvest will be plentiful."

"good."

This time, several girls from Prince Yu's Mansion also clapped and applauded. Luo Lan looked at An An and smiled lightly at her, while Leng Yu also had a gentle smile on his face.

After Xiaobao secretly glared at An An, he turned his face to the emperor and waited for him to come up with the next couplet.

After a while, the two of them had three couplets each and were tied.

The emperor looked at the two of them, waved his hands and said:

"The two children are very close now. If the comparison continues like this, there will probably be no result. How about this? Let Prince Xi and Prince Yu each come up with a couplet and let the other's children answer. Who can answer better?

If you do it quickly and neatly, even if you win, Yu'er, you come first."

When Leng Yu heard this, he thought for a while with a solemn expression, and then slowly said:

"The first couplet, the sound of pines, bamboos, bells and chimes, sounds at ease;"

The couplet he produced made Xiaobao's face suddenly darken, and the place fell into silence for a while.

He racked his brains and thought hard, but still couldn't think of how to answer.

An An, who was looking at him with joy in his misfortune, showed a proud smile and snorted coldly and asked:

"How's it going? You can't answer it? Do you want me to tell you?"

Xiaobao's face turned pale because of his anxiety. Leng Xi frowned anxiously, while Yu Qiaoqiao kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with the handkerchief in his hand.

Luo Lan and Leng Yu were neither surprised nor happy. They were not happy because Xiaobao couldn't answer, but sat there calmly and waited.

As time passed, Xiaobao was so anxious that he was about to cry. An An looked at him proudly and said sarcastically:

"How's it going? You can't answer it, can you? You're the only one who still claims to be knowledgeable, Diudiudu..."

"you……"

Xiaobao looked at her with a blushing face. Although he was dissatisfied, he bowed his head and admitted defeat because he couldn't answer.

When the emperor saw this, he looked directly at the other children, waved his hands and said:

"This couplet is indeed a bit difficult. It makes sense that Xiaobao can't answer it. In this case, don't stay here. Which one of you can answer it?"

Huaiyu raised his hand and said seriously:

"Back to Grandpa Huang, I am right: the color of the mountains, the color of the water, the color of the haze, all the colors are empty."

As soon as he said these words, everyone present fell silent. After a while, the emperor slowly spoke and kept praising:

"Well, that's right, that's great!"

Xiaobao pouted and raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction:
Chapter completed!
