Luo Fengjun's expression changed several times, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he stood on the spot, still refusing to move.

"Brother Luo." A figure with a sword on his waist and a black Confucian robe came over, and said with a smile: "It's windy here, and I have ordered the palace staff to prepare high-quality refreshments in the water pavilion. Brother Luo, please go ahead. How about going to rest with me?"

This person has a dignified appearance, clear eyebrows, and a refined demeanor. He is Chen Qi, the son of Chen Guo, who is famous for his articles, and is ranked among the four sons of the Southern Kingdom along with Luo Fengjun, Wei Yun, and Jiang Yun.

Chen Qi is about 30 years old, the oldest among the four sons, and has been unknown before. Three years ago, at the Liushang Banquet, he became famous with a piece of "Ode to the Qingque" that criticized the king of Qi's licentiousness, and was sought after by celebrities from all over the world. .Chen Qi is also known for his hard work when it comes to making a fuss.

It is said that in order to write the "Ode to the Blue Sparrow", he only slept for an hour a day for several months, carefully deliberating every word in the article no less than a hundred times, and the waste manuscripts piled up more than half of the palace.

Because of this hard work beyond ordinary people, Chen Qi has a high reputation among the students.

Since the banquet was held in Chen Guo, as the second son of Chen Guo, Chen Qi naturally had the responsibility to maintain order.He came forward because he wanted to end this dispute as soon as possible, so as not to hurt the peace of the countries.

Luo Fengjun only glanced at Chen Qi contemptuously and ignored him.

Luo Fengjun is the eldest son of the Luo Kingdom, while Chen Qi is just a son of the Chen Kingdom. Although they are both the fourth sons, upon closer inspection, Luo Fengjun is much higher than Chen Qi regardless of his status.

Luo Fengjun's personality is notoriously arrogant, so it's not surprising that such reactions fall into the eyes of others.It's just that from Chen Qi's standpoint, it's a little embarrassing to be greeted in public like this.But Chen Qi looked calm, without resentment or embarrassment, and still kindly asked Luo Fengjun to rest and taste pastries.

"Brother Luo."

At this time, another figure walked over, with a jade crown and hair, a snow-white brocade dress, eyebrows like ink paintings, red lips and white teeth, as eye-catching as the bright moon. Wei Yun of the world.

"Brother Chen is right. I also have some questions about music theory and I want to ask Brother Luo. Brother Luo condescends to teach me today."

Different from Luo Fengjun's aloofness and Chen Qi's rigidity, Wei Yun was born with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and when he smiled, the tails of his eyes were slanted. Coupled with his peerless appearance, he has a different kind of charm, even if he is Even the hardest-hearted person in the world couldn't bear to refuse his request.

Under the joint persuasion of Chen Qi and Wei Yun, Luo Fengjun finally twitched the corner of his mouth, held the piano and gave a light salute to Shuixie, then turned and left.

Gongsun Yang looked at His Royal Highness through the curtain.

Jiang Yun always lowered his eyebrows, staring at the scroll in his hand, as if he didn't notice the situation outside at all.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, the chief officer of Chen Guo hurriedly ordered everyone to prepare props for the next round of competition.The ministers who accompanied Luo Guo tremblingly boarded the waterside pavilion to apologize to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun just said "It's okay", then lowered his eyes and continued to read his book.

The ministers of the Luo Kingdom looked at each other, not knowing whether His Highness was still angry or really didn't care, so he could only wipe off his sweat and retreat nervously.

The next part is the literary competition, just like the music competition, and it is no surprise that Chen Qi won the first place.

Chen Qi wrote a new article on the spot, with magnificent writing and novel conception, which won the recognition and applause of all commentators.

Even so, he did not show the slightest arrogance, but instead patiently exchanged questions about articles with students from various countries, which was in stark contrast to Luo Fengjun's arrogance.

Some people couldn't help but praised: "It is said that the prince of Jiangguo is famous all over the world, he is willing to condescend to be noble, and he is a corporal. In my opinion, brother Jicai is the real talent for helping the world with tolerance and greatness, and the style of an ancient gentleman. "

Jicai is Chen Qi's nickname.

Chen Qi hurriedly said seriously: "Be careful with your step, your highness is as honorable as the moon in the sky, and your talents are no more than a body of dust and mud, how dare you compare them."

Suddenly he sneered.

Someone said: "That's not bad. You are a bastard born to a lowly maidservant, and you are a lowly bloodline who can't stand on the stage. Even if you write a good article, so what, in terms of dignity, I'm afraid you can even lift shoes for the prince of Jiangguo He has no qualifications. At the age of 11, the prince of Jiangguo was able to write an article as amazing as "Jiangdu Fu", which was copied by famous people all over the world. The bird Fu you wrote looks gorgeous, but in fact it is full of rhetoric , Dong Shi imitated, not even the fur of others. The fourth son of the Southern Kingdom, haha, do you really think that with the title of Mr. Wen, you can get rid of the smell of horse dung on your body?"

Chen Qi's birth mother was of a lowly status. When she was young, mother and child were bullied, and they were once driven to live in the stables of the palace.

The one who spoke was also a noble boy from the Chen Kingdom, because he couldn't understand Chen Qi's good writing on weekdays, attracting a lot of poor students to follow him, and he didn't take them in the eyes of noble disciples, so he made a sarcasm.

Chen Qi's face turned pale, as if someone had whipped him on the spot.

But soon, he regained his normal expression and said: "Today is the banquet of the Six Nations. If you don't like me, you can tell me these words in private. There is no need to tarnish the eyes and ears of the distinguished guests like this."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and confessed to all the guests: "It's a talented person who has hurt you all. I hope you don't blame me."

He himself is clearly the victim, yet he still takes the feelings of the guests into consideration. What a broad-mindedness is needed to do this. Everyone comforted: "How can this be the fault of Brother Jicai..."

The boy from Chen Guo got bored, scolded "hypocrisy", and left angrily.

"Jicai doesn't need to listen to his nonsense, the "Jiangdu Fu" is just a rumor. Last year's celebration, someone asked His Highness the Crown Prince about this in public, and asked His Highness to write a Fu for the stone tablet, which has been publicly denied by His Highness."

A celebrity in charge of comments came over from the seat, patted Chen Qi on the shoulder, and comforted him: "How can an 11-year-old child write such a sophisticated article. Your article has done a good job, so don't listen to his nonsense. language."

Others also joined in.

"Old Master Cheng is right. Brother Ji Cai's talent, I have seen it for all to see, so I said that Brother Ji Cai's article today is not inferior to Yan Qi from the Northern Kingdom."

Yan Qi is a master of essays in the Sui Kingdom of Jiangbei. It is said that he was able to write poems at the age of three and was a literary genius at the age of six. Handed down from generation to generation, there are known sayings among various countries that "Southern Chenqi, Northern Yanqi" and "Southern Qi, Northern Qi".

They are all masters of contemporary essays, so they naturally know how profound literary skills and agile writing skills are needed to write an essay like "Jiangdu Fu".If the prince of Jiang Guo really had that kind of literary talent, how could he not have published any articles since he was 11 years old, and he never participated in the literary examination of the Liushang Banquet.

Most likely, like the so-called "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", it was fabricated by Jiang Guo in order to promote the reputation of His Royal Highness, and it was written by someone else!

It's just that I don't know where Jiang Guo found such a powerful ghostwriter, which has led to doubts about the author of "Jiangdu Fu".The prince of Jiang Guo dared to deny this matter in public, but he was considered responsible, in line with his reputation as a gentleman.

Chen Qiqiang smiled, thanked everyone, and personally sent the old master Cheng who admired him back to his seat.

At the end of the competition, Lord Chen arrived late.

The king's reflex arc was astonishingly long. It is said that he woke up from a nap and heard about Luo Fengjun's provocation in public, so he came here to confess to Jiang Yun.Along with him is Chen Tao, the loyal and honest son of Chen Guo.

"Old minister...lack of care...ahem...guilty..."

The Lord Chen Guoguo was over sixty years old, and he was already a gray-haired, senile old man. He was supported by the palace servants, panting at every step, speaking as if he might die at any time.It is said that state affairs have basically been handed over to the eldest son Chen Tao.

No matter how noisy Jiang Yun thought it was, he had no choice but to comfort him patiently.

"Regardless of status, only talking about talent, this is the founding purpose of Liushang Banquet, how can one break the rules because of being alone."

"It's a lonely person with little knowledge, so the king doesn't have to worry about it."

The Lord of the Kingdom of Chen said that this must not be the case, so that the crown prince of the Suzerain Kingdom was wronged in the territory of the Kingdom of Chen. He glanced around and ordered the palace servants sharply: "Let Chen Qi come over."

Chen Qi quickly climbed onto the waterside pavilion, but before he could stand firmly, he was kicked to the ground by the Lord Chen.

"My king asked you to entertain the guests and maintain the order of the banquet. Is that how you maintain it? Hurry up and kowtow to His Highness to apologize!"

Inside the water pavilion, Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows again, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."

"Your Highness doesn't need to protect him!"

Standing with his arms akimbo, Lord Chen Guoguo scolded Chen Qi: "Don't kneel down yet! I really think that if I can write a few sour articles, I will be lawless and have no dignity!"

"My son is guilty."

Chen Qi fell to the ground, and could almost feel the gazes from all directions on his back as if they were real, either sarcasm, watching the excitement, or pity, the fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, facing the direction of the curtain, slowly knocking Head up. "It was the minister's negligence that surprised His Highness. Please punish him severely."

Jiang Yun told him to get up.

Master Chen Guoguo said: "Your Highness must not spare this beast lightly, and punish him harshly, heavy punishment is the best!"

Jiang Yun was helpless, and finally said with a hint of displeasure: "Gu said earlier that this matter has nothing to do with Young Master Ling, so there is no need for the king to say more. Gongsun Yang, help the second young master to get up."

Gongsun Yang took the lead.

Jiang Yun felt that this matter was indeed a disaster for Chen Qi, and when Chen Qi stood up, he said: "Mr. Chen just wrote an article, and I appreciate it very much. I hope Mr. Chen will produce another good work in the future."

He also told the Lord Chen: "This matter is over, the Lord can no longer blame the Second Young Master for this."

The Lord of the Kingdom of Chen burst into tears of gratitude again.

After finally sending away the pretentious Lord Chen, Gongsun Yangfang snorted and said, "This old man looks dizzy, but he is actually very shrewd. Otherwise, why would he not come here when Lord Luo Feng is in trouble, and only come here to accuse His Highness when the matter is over? Miserable, and pushed his own son out to play such a bitter trick."

"It's hard for the second son of Chen Guo."

This is tacit understanding.

Fan Zhou asked him to say a few words less, so as not to give the truth.

On the other side, as soon as Chen Qi came out of the water pavilion, he was surrounded by other scribes waiting outside.

"We have all seen what happened just now. The prince of Jiang Guo really used his power to bully others. He knew that Ji Cai was one of the fourth sons with him, but he used his status as the prince of the suzerain to make brother Ji Cai kneel in public and apologize to him."

"Yeah, it's clear that it's a deliberate attempt to make things difficult and bully talented people... What kind of virtue is famous all over the world, in my opinion, it's just bragging."

Chen Qi still clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, but said with a serious face: "Everyone, be careful, what happened just now is indeed the fault of the old man, who failed to maintain the order of the banquet, so I can't blame His Highness for getting angry. His Highness didn't convict, he has already done it." It is a great gift."

"Brother Ji Cai, you don't need to explain, we all understand!"

"Oh, Jicai, you are good at everything, but you are too loyal and honest!"

"..."

Others directly pulled him up: "Let's go, Jicai, let's go to the Master's Terrace. We still have a lot of questions about articles that we would like to ask you for advice."

Chen Qi smiled and said yes.

"it is good."
