"I guess so. This is the second line I thought up on the spot."
"It's just how is this possible?"
"He is a prince, how can he come up with such an appropriate second line, or two?"
Everyone present looked in disbelief.
Even the emperor was looking at Chen Changfeng in confusion at this moment.
Chen Changfeng actually matched the second couplet, two of them, and each one of them matched the first couplet perfectly.
But the emperor himself didn’t even think about the second line, so why did he come up with it first?
Could it be that the emperor himself is not as good as Chen Changfeng, the prince who has always been called a waste?
Aren’t you worse than trash?
The emperor was shocked, but also extremely happy.
Chen Changfeng is actually so capable. Then in the next competition with the Dachu envoy, wouldn't the Ming Empire be sure of victory again?
"Okay, it's really wonderful."
"And there are two second lines, Changfeng, you are very good, I am very satisfied." The emperor smiled and gave Chen Changfeng a thumbs up.
When the second prince and the third prince heard the emperor's words, their expressions turned ugly.
The third prince's smile instantly solidified on his face.
He asked the second prince to help because he believed that the second prince, as the most talented man in the Ming Empire, could easily crush Chen Changfeng, a loser, in terms of literary talent.
But the current result is completely different from what the third prince thought.
Chen Changfeng came out with two second couplets. The emperor was very satisfied. How dare he, the third prince, say he was dissatisfied?
But is this result acceptable to his third prince?
Did he really watch Chen Changfeng take away Master Xu?
No, absolutely not!
"Father, the second brother just gave in to the sixth brother, so the sixth brother could so easily come up with the following link."
"Of course, Sixth Brother's talent and learning really surprised us."
"But my father, I hope that my second brother can write another first couplet. If my sixth brother can also write a second couplet, my son will not hesitate and send Mr. Xu and his sixth brother away personally." The third prince is now showing off his face.
go.
He wanted the second prince to come up with another first couplet to completely stump Chen Changfeng and win the battle.
"Father, my minister was indeed careless just now. If my father agrees, my minister..."
"Father, you see, I said that the second brother is capricious and will definitely find excuses to compete again. I was indeed right."
"But don't worry, father, I will definitely not let you down." Chen Changfeng expressed his position before the emperor spoke.
This was even more unexpected by everyone present.
At this time, shouldn't we try our best to avoid competing with the second prince again?
Is Chen Changfeng really so confident?
The second prince is the most talented person in the Ming Empire. If he is serious, he will definitely not be able to play the second line so easily.
"Since you have such confidence, Changfeng, let me compare you again. After this comparison, don't make any more excuses."
"I don't want to waste any more time on this matter." The emperor nodded and warned the second prince again.
The second prince looked ugly.
I was humiliated in public by this bastard Chen Changfeng.
In the following couplet, if I let him confront me, I would just commit suicide!
"Second brother, you have to think more about it. We two cannot embarrass ourselves in front of our father today." The third prince whispered to the second prince.
"No way." The second prince said coldly.
There was silence for a long time before the second prince took a step forward and said loudly: "If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid; if there are fish in the water, there will be fishing. Water, water, water, rivers and lakes."
"Sixth brother, right."
As soon as the second prince's first couplet came out, the third prince's face suddenly showed joy.
This couplet is from when the second prince was traveling, he encountered a big river. There were fish playing by the river, but the water was turbid, and there were fishermen fishing next to it.
I came up with this couplet after feeling something in my heart.
But the second prince himself had never been able to come up with the next couplet. When he returned to the capital, he even issued a notice and was willing to collect the second couplet for a hundred taels of silver.
But nothing has been gained, and so far I haven't gotten a second line that satisfies the second prince.
Now that the second prince said this first couplet, it was impossible for Chen Changfeng to come up with a satisfactory second couplet.
The third prince believed that so far in this competition, he had finally won.
"Isn't this the first couplet that the second prince came up with on his own? It's been a year and no one has come up with the second couplet."
"Yes, yes, I also remembered that the second prince offered a reward of one hundred taels of silver to collect the second couplet, but there was no second couplet that satisfied the second prince."
"When the word "水" is added to the word "worm", it becomes the word "turbid". When the word "water" is added to the word "fish", it becomes the word "fishermen". The last three words are water, rivers and lakes are exactly three water, and the word "miao" is three water.
The first couplet is really wonderful."
"Of course, the second prince is the most talented man in our Ming Empire. His couplets are not so easy to match."
"A year has passed and no one has been able to match it, Prince? Is it possible?"
"This is the real strength of the second prince. The prince should just admit defeat to avoid wasting time."
No one expected that the second prince Chen Wen would show his first couplet from a year ago.
In the past year, no one has been able to match the first couplet. Chen Changfeng wants to match the second couplet with a wonderful one. Isn’t that just a fool’s errand?
The emperor also frowned slightly at this moment. He felt that the second prince was deliberately making things difficult for others.
He couldn't even come up with a good second couplet for this first couplet, and even after offering a reward for a year, no one could come up with a good second couplet.
Now let Chen Changfeng play the second line. Isn't this bullying?
However, although he thought so in his heart, the emperor did not say a word and just looked at Chen Changfeng.
"Sixth brother, do you have the second couplet?" The second prince looked proud.
The eyes of the others also fell on Chen Changfeng.
If he couldn't apologize for this first couplet, Master Xu would not leave with him today.
"Mr. Xu, go pack your things and we'll leave right away." Chen Changfeng said to Mr. Xu with a smile under the gaze of everyone.
Master Xu was a little confused. If Chen Changfeng could not forgive him, the emperor would not let him go.
Let yourself pack your things?
"Prince, I don't have anything to pack..." Master Xu shook his head.
"Then let's leave now. We've wasted a lot of time." Chen Changfeng raised his feet and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, Sixth Brother, please match the second couplet before leaving, otherwise you will never take Mr. Xu away." The third prince blocked Chen Changfeng.
He thought that Chen Changfeng was preparing to play rogue with him.
"Isn't it just a second couplet? It comes as soon as you open your mouth. Below the tree is the root, above the tree is the end. The trees are trees, and there are many pines, cypresses and camphors."
"Let's go." Chen Changfeng said with a smile, left a word, turned around and left.
"What?" The third prince didn't even come back to his senses.
But the face of the second prince opposite him suddenly changed.
He looked at Chen Changfeng's back in disbelief.
"How could you counter my first couplet so easily?" The second prince almost shouted.
"Because your first couplet is simple." Chen Changfeng smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "Third brother, don't worry, Master Xu is at my place, and I will entertain him well."
"what happened?"
"Is this right?"
Many people didn't react.
"Second brother, why didn't you stop him? Father, the sixth brother didn't respond at all..."
"Ignorance." The emperor interrupted the third prince and left with a cold face. This chapter has been completed!
