"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."
"Below the tree is the root, above the tree is the end. The trees are trees, and there are many pines, cypresses and camphors."
"What a good boy, you are so talented."
The emperor, who returned to his study, had already written the second couplet written by Chen Changfeng on the paper.
"Hey, Your Majesty, isn't this the couplet that the Second Prince published a year ago? I heard that there was a reward of one hundred taels of silver, but no one can find out."
"This second line is so neat, no, absolutely."
"Who is so talented that he actually came up with the second couplet!" The eunuch Liu Xi looked at the couplet on the paper with a look of surprise on his face.
He also knew about the second prince's reward for the second couplet a year ago, but no one could take away the reward.
Even many ministers of the DPRK and Central Government tried to write the second couplet, but they all came to take advantage of the excitement and returned in despair.
But today, someone seems to have come up with this second couplet.
Liu Xi couldn't help but wonder to himself, who has such talent and learning?
"You can take a guess, I guarantee you will never guess it." The emperor smiled with his eyes on the second couplet.
"Could it be Prime Minister Yao? Prime Minister Yao is the only minister in the DPRK who has both civil and military skills. He is very talented. The rest of them are just a little bit behind. If anyone can come up with this, it should be him, right?" Liu Xi guessed in a low voice.
"It's not him. Yao Xiaoren also secretly wanted to write the second line before, but failed." The emperor shook his head.
Not Yao Xiaoren?
Liu Xi was shocked.
He couldn't imagine that there were such talented people in the Ming Empire who could write the second prince's first couplet.
"Could it be Liu Shuwen and Military Advisor Liu? He..."
"It's not him. That old guy has no time to think about these things." The emperor denied Liu Xi's guess before he could finish his words.
"Then the villain can't guess it. Who else has such ability to guess the couplet of the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty?" Liu Xi shook his head, he really couldn't think of it.
"Hmph." The emperor seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Xi's appearance. He hummed twice and rolled up the couplet.
"This is what the prince said..."
"Prince!" Liu Xi shouted immediately, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have lost my temper. Please punish me."
"What is the punishment? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would probably be more surprised than you."
"Get up." The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile.
Liu Xi stood up, still looking in disbelief.
Whoever came up with this second line, Liu Xi would have thought it was possible.
But it happened that it was the prince Chen Changfeng who came up against him.
Liu Xi felt incredible.
Is this still the good-for-nothing prince in my impression?
First, he came up with five ways to solve the locust plague, and his painting skills overwhelmed the masters of painting like Liu Haoxue.
Now there is a couplet in which the second prince himself has no second line.
How the hell can a useless prince do this?
"You still don't know, that boy gave Master Xu a blueprint for a weapon that can fire crossbows continuously..."
"Repeating crossbow? Don't all crossbows need to be loaded with arrows?" Liu Xi was stunned.
"So, I also find it incredible. Judging from Master Xu's attitude, I should be confident that when this kind of crossbow appears, our Ming army will definitely be more powerful."
"That boy is really good at hiding. Why didn't I realize that he was so capable before?"
"You can't be good at literature or martial arts. You need to be talented and knowledgeable, and you need skills and skills. Compared with this kid, it doesn't seem to be a big deal if you are the second or third child." The emperor was in a good mood, and even felt that Chen Changfeng was
The prince is more suitable for the position of prince than the second prince and third prince that he had always liked.
Liu Xi didn't say anything. It was about the position of the crown prince, so he didn't dare to interrupt at will.
But judging from what the emperor just said, the emperor is now very satisfied with Prince Chen Changfeng.
It is estimated that it will be difficult for the emperor to talk about deposing the prince again.
…
"Prince."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
What surprised Chen Changfeng was that Tang Xueer was standing at the gate of the East Palace, waiting for him to come back.
When he saw himself, he bowed slightly to himself.
This is something that has never happened in Chen Changfeng's memory.
Are you going to put her in sleeping clothes?
"This is Master Xu from the weapons supervisor. From now on he will be from our East Palace." Chen Changfeng introduced Master Xu to everyone.
"Ah? Master Xu?" Tang Xueer exclaimed, then covered her lips with her hands, but her face still had a look of disbelief.
Everyone has heard of Master Xu, but not many people have seen him.
Tang Xueer had only heard about Master Xu in rumors.
Knowing that he was the strongest casting master in the world, Tang Xueer never imagined that Chen Changfeng could invite Master Xu to the East Palace.
Tang Xueer knew very well that what Master Xu looked down upon the most was the unlearned and unskilled guy like Chen Changfeng before.
But unfortunately...
"I've met Master Xu." Tang Xueer saluted Master Xu before she had time to think about it.
"I have met the Crown Princess." Master Xu bowed slightly, and then looked at Chen Changfeng: "Prince, I want to study the drawings."
"Of course, Xiang'er, arrange for Master Xu to live in the backyard, and no one is allowed to disturb him." Chen Changfeng and Xiang'er ordered.
Xiang'er led Master Xu to the backyard, and Tang Xueer took the initiative to hold Chen Changfeng's arm.
Chen Changfeng was somewhat uncomfortable with it.
The Crown Princess who had given me a cold look in the morning was now taking the initiative to hold my hand?
"It hurts a little while walking, please support me." Tang Xueer whispered, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Tang Xueer felt that she had been sorry for Chen Changfeng before, so she asked Xiang'er to prepare the dinner today, and she personally waited at the door for Chen Changfeng to come back.
But as soon as she opened her legs, she felt some pain as she had just had sex.
"You ran out of pain, come on, I'll carry you in..."
"So many people are watching!"
"Look at what's going on. If anyone has any objections, I'll take care of him." After Chen Changfeng said that, he hugged Tang Xueer in his arms.
Tang Xueer was too shy to raise her head.
Feeling the breath of Chen Changfeng's body, he put his head on Chen Changfeng's chest and felt the beating of his heart.
"Why did Master Xu agree to come to the East Palace? The third prince didn't..." Tang Xueer and Chen Changfeng sat together after dinner and curiously asked the question in their mind.
Master Xu is extremely important to the third prince. Without Master Xu, the power of the third prince will be greatly affected.
Tang Xueer didn't understand at all why Chen Changfeng was able to bring Master Xu back.
Moreover, Master Xu did not have the slightest objection.
"They originally disagreed. The second brother wanted to compare couplets with me. I beat him twice, and then..."
"You beat the Second Prince twice? A pair of couplets?" Tang Xueer stood up in shock.
Then there was another look of pain on his face, and he slowly sat down holding on to the table.
But there was still disbelief in his eyes.
"Why are you so excited?" Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
Can Tang Xueer not be excited?
Winning against the Second Prince in couplets is even more incredible than defeating Liu Haoxue in painting.
Who is the second prince? He is the most talented man in the Ming Empire.
Chen Changfeng defeated him?
Or twice?
"The second prince is the most talented man in the Ming Empire. You defeated him..."
"No more in the future. The most talented person in the Ming Empire will be me, Chen Changfeng, your husband." Chen Changfeng said with a confident smile. This chapter has been completed!
