Chapter 11 - I Forgive You

Xiao Zhang curled his lips: "This old man is really noisy. Listen carefully."

Lu Boming was almost angry to death. This little bastard spoke like an old man and an old bastard, and he didn't take him, a great scholar in the country, seriously at all.

Okay, I'll let you be proud for a while. If you can't stand up to me later, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Thinking like this, Lu Boming suppressed his anger and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please."

"The hibiscus and peony are fragrant."

Lu Boming didn't even think about it: "That's bullshit..."

Halfway through his words, Lu Boming stopped him abruptly.

Half of his face was angry, and the other half was surprised.

This pair fits so neatly. Is this guy really a fool?

The emperor couldn't help but admire: "It's neat."

The queen also laughed: "It's also about flowers, and it complements each other. It's absolutely perfect."

Lu Boming's face turned the color of pig liver.

Xiao Kui said it was impossible.

"Idiot, you are so awesome. Why haven't I seen you with this ability before?"

Xiao Yuxin pulled Xiao Zhang into a smile with joy.

"Calm down, calm down, where are you going?"

"Young fool Xiao, tell me the truth. Did you have a plan in mind? Otherwise, how could you have done it so well?"

Lu Boming was a little hard to accept and asked.

Xiao Zhang smiled, tilted his head and looked at Lu Boming: "Can you be reasonable? These are all your tricks on the spot. Even if I have a draft, it will be useless? Old guy, if you want me to say that I don't have the ability, just admit it. It's okay.

, and no one is laughing at you."

Lu Boming's face turned red when he was told this.

The emperor was afraid that he would not be able to think about it, so he acted as a peacemaker and said: "Okay, okay, Master Lu, today's meeting with the pair is just to kill time. Let's forget about this matter, and we are not allowed to mention it again."

"Uncle Emperor, is he too partial? I have answered all the pairs this old guy has played. Now it is my turn to play the pairs. How can I forget it?"

The emperor's old face turned red: "You idiot Xiao, don't mess around."

Xiao Zhang took advantage of the situation and lay down and shouted: "It's unreasonable, I can't live anymore."

Xiao Yu felt unhappy and muttered: "Father, as a king, how can you not keep your word? The idiot is already stupid, and you still lied to him."

The Queen couldn't stand it anymore: "Your Majesty, the children are all here."

Being said so by his own family, the emperor was embarrassed to want to favor Lu Boming, so he could only look at Lu Boming to see what he wanted.

"Since Prince Xiao is in high spirits, I can't let him down. Prince Xiao, please."

Despite Lu Boming's heroic words, his eyes that couldn't help but dodge fully exposed his guilty thoughts.

"Ahem, old man, listen up."

Xiao Zhang cleared his throat and began to write the first couplet.

"The ancient wood in front of the rock is dry, this wood is firewood."

As soon as the first couplet came out, everyone at the scene lowered their heads and thought about the second couplet.

Lu Boming said with a solemn expression.

Xiao Zhang tilted his head: "What? Are the great scholars at home still not worthy of this couplet?"

"Who said I can't get along with you? It's all your fault for disturbing my thoughts."

Xiao Zhang didn't bother to curl his lips and pretend, so just pretend.

Seeing where Lu Boming was brooding to himself for a quarter of an hour, shaking his head and frowning, Xiao Zhang sighed: "If you can't answer, just say it and I'll answer it for you."

The emperor came back to his senses, and fearing that Lu Boming would lose face, he took the initiative and said: "Young fool Xiao, stop being so pretentious and tell me what it is."

Xiao Zhang turned his head and ignored the emperor, looking angry.

"Okay Zhang'er, tell me what it is, don't make everyone anxious."

It was the queen who spoke, and Xiao Zhang turned back with a smile: "Okay, beautiful aunt."

After saying that, Xiao Zhang gave the second line: "The woman in the long scarf tent is good, and the young girl is even better."

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the queen and princess turned red.

Lu Boming jumped to his feet and yelled: "Absurd, ridiculous. How dare you say such obscene words in front of His Majesty!"

"This is obscene. I think some people have evil intentions. When they see their arms exposed, they think of dirty things. That's why you have the nerve to call yourself a great scholar in the world. What the hell is that?"

Lu Boming was choked and speechless, and the emperor couldn't help but persuade him: "Okay, okay, Master Lu, Xiao Xiao is right. Putting aside everything else, this couplet is quite neat."

Xiao Zhang snorted, with an expression on his face that even if you praise me, I won't pay attention to you.

"But Xiao Fool, this couplet does not count. How could Lu Shi, a great scholar in the world, come up with such a couplet, and you come up with another one."

Xiao Zhang lowered his head and muttered: "Humph, I know that the emperor is partial. Okay, then I will come up with another one."

"Smoke lock pond willow. This is simple enough."

Lu Boming's face turned red visibly.

Prince Xiao Kui muttered at the side: "This is quite simple."

"The five elements are contained in a short couplet. It is wonderful and wonderful."

This time, even the emperor couldn't help but admire it.

Lu Boming was really embarrassed. He did this and that for a long time, but nothing happened.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Lu Boming sat down on the ground in despair: "Old man, I lost."

Xiao Zhang pinched his waist and said proudly: "It's okay, old man. It's not embarrassing to lose to me."

Lu Boming cried, "It's embarrassing to lose to you, okay? No one inside or outside the imperial city knows that you are the biggest fool in the world. How can I hang out in the court in the future?"

"Uncle Emperor, the outcome has been decided. Look."

Xiao Zhang turned to the emperor and asked for the bet.

The emperor glanced at the lost Lu Boming, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

After all, Lu Boming relied on his status as a great scholar in the country to restrain himself. Before this, everything he did was as if he was being watched. But he couldn't attack him, otherwise he would be known as a cowardly tyrant.

"Okay, idiot Xiao, I just casually talked about the bet without counting it. This matter must not be mentioned again."

After seeing Lu Boming's doubtful state of life, the emperor felt relieved for a while before speaking slowly.

"That won't work, uncle emperor. Although I don't know how to read, I still know that people cannot stand without faith, let alone some people who claim to be great Confucians?"

Lu Boming's face turned red as his shorts were uncovered: "Your Majesty, it goes without saying. I am willing to admit defeat."

With that said, he took a deep breath and walked towards Xiao Zhang.

Until he came to Xiao Zhang, Lu Boming didn't hear the emperor calling his name.

Lu Boming panicked. No, Your Majesty, please advise me.

When he turned around, the emperor was sitting there with a smile on his face, as if he was taking his time to watch a good show.

Lu Boming, who was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, felt his heart pounding. When he looked at Xiao Zhang, who was smiling in the same vulgar way, he suddenly felt like his head was pounding.

"I am ignorant and incompetent, and I have a false reputation. I delayed the Imperial Academy to learn these talents. I also beat Prince Xiao indiscriminately. Please forgive me, Prince Xiao, please ignore the mistakes of others."

After gritting his teeth and saying something, Lu Boming was still too embarrassed to see anyone.

Xiao Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I forgive you."

puff!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Boming spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
Chapter completed!
