Chapter 21 I Said Second Brother Was Capricious
"It should be, this is the second couplet I thought of on the spot."
"Just how is this possible."
"He is the prince, how can he come up with such a suitable second couplet, or two?"
Everyone present looked unbelievable.
Even the emperor was staring at Chen Changfeng in a daze at this moment.
Chen Changfeng actually really matched the lower couplet, and there were still two, and each one was very close to the upper couplet.
But the emperor himself hadn't thought about the second couplet, so why did he get it right first?
Could it be that the emperor is actually not as good as Chen Changfeng, the prince who has always been called a waste?
Aren't you even worse than waste?
The emperor was shocked, but was extremely happy.
Chen Changfeng had such ability, so wouldn’t the Ming Empire be able to win again in the next competition with the Great Chu Mission?
"Okay, it's really amazing."
"And there are two lower couplets, Changfeng, you are very good, I am very satisfied." The emperor smiled and gave Chen Changfeng a thumbs up.
When the second and third princes heard the emperor's words, their faces looked ugly at that time.
The third prince's smile instantly frozen on his face.
He asked the second prince to help, and he recognized that the second prince, as the number one talented man in the Ming Empire, could easily crush Chen Changfeng, a waste in terms of literary talent.
But the result now is completely different from what the third prince thinks.
Chen Changfeng was out, and there were two second couplets. The emperor was very satisfied. How dare he say that his third prince was dissatisfied?
But is this result acceptable to his third prince?
I really watched Chen Changfeng take Master Xu away?
No, absolutely not!
"Father, my second brother just gave in to my sixth brother, so my sixth brother can easily match the second couplet."
"Of course, our sixth brother's talent really surprised us."
"But my father, I hope that I can let my second brother produce another first couplet. If the sixth brother can still express the second couplet, I will never say anything and personally send Mr. Xu and his sixth brother away." The third prince is now trying to show his shame.
He asked the second prince to issue another first couplet, which completely stumped Chen Changfeng and won the battle back.
"Father, my son is indeed a little careless just now. If my father agrees, my son..."
"Father, look, I said that my second brother is capricious and will definitely make excuses to compete. Sure enough, he is right."
"But don't worry, my father, I will definitely not let you down." Chen Changfeng made a statement before the emperor spoke.
This made everyone present unexpected.
At this time, shouldn't we try to avoid competing with the second prince again?
Is Chen Changfeng really so sure?
The second prince is the number one talented man in the Ming Empire. If he becomes serious, he will definitely not be able to write the second couplet so easily.
"Since Changfeng, you have such confidence, let me compare again. After this competition, don't make excuses."
"I don't want to waste time on this matter anymore." The emperor nodded and warned the second prince again.
The second prince's face looked ugly.
I was humiliated by this bastard Chen Changfeng in public.
If I ask him to match the next couplet, I will just commit suicide!
"Second brother, you have to think more. We two can no longer be embarrassed in front of our father today." The third prince whispered to the second prince.
"No," the second prince said coldly.
The field was silent for a long time before seeing the second prince step forward, and then said loudly: "Water has insects, it will be turbid, and water has fish, it will be fishing, and water has water, rivers and lakes are vast."
"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 when the second prince was traveling, he encountered a big river on the way. There were fish playing by the river, the water was turbid, and there were fishermen fishing next to him.
I felt something and came up with this first couplet.
But the second prince himself could not think of the second couplet. He returned to the capital and even issued a notice that he would like to collect the second couplet for 100 taels of silver.
But there was no gain, and I have not received the second couplet that satisfies the second prince so far.
At this moment, the second prince said this first couplet, and Chen Changfeng had no chance of satisfying the second couplet.
The third prince believed that he would win the competition at the end of this time.
"Isn't this the first couplet that the second prince himself thought of? It's been a year since no one has ever published the second couplet."
"Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it too. The second prince also offered a reward of 100 taels of silver to collect the second couplet, but it did not satisfy the second prince."
"The word "water" plus the word "worm" becomes the word "turbid", and the word "water" and the word "fish" becomes the fisherman's fish. The three waters in the back, the rivers and lakes are exactly three waters, and the word "miao" means three waters. The first couplet is really wonderful."
"Of course, the second prince is the number one talented man in the Ming Empire. His couplets are not so easy to meet."
"No one can meet him after a year, Prince? Is it possible?"
"This game is the real strength of the second prince. The prince should just admit defeat so as not to waste time."
Everyone did not expect that the second prince Chen Wen would take out his first couplet from a year ago.
No one has been able to meet the top couplet this year. Isn’t that a foolish person to think of Chen Changfeng’s wonderful second couplet?
The emperor also frowned slightly at this moment, and he felt that the second prince was deliberately making things difficult for others.
He didn't even match the second couplet with this first couplet, and even offered a reward for a year, no one could have a good second couplet.
Now let Chen Changfeng show the second couplet, isn’t this bullying?
However, although he thought so in his heart, the emperor did not say a word, but just looked at Chen Changfeng.
"Sixth brother, do you have a second couplet?" The second prince looked proud.
The eyes of the others also fell on Chen Changfeng.
If he couldn't make up for this first couplet, Master Xu wouldn't have left with him today.
"Master Xu, go pack up your things and we'll leave right away." Chen Changfeng said to Master Xu with a smile as everyone looked at them.
Master Xu was a little confused. If Chen Changfeng had no choice but to express the second couplet, the emperor would not let anyone go.
Let yourself pack up?
"Crown Prince, I have nothing to clean up..." Master Xu shook his head.
"Then let's leave now, it's a waste of time." Chen Changfeng raised his foot and was about to leave.
"Wait, I will only be able to leave if I pair the lower couplet, otherwise you won't want to take Mr. Xu away." The third prince blocked Chen Changfeng.
He thought Chen Changfeng was planning to play a rogue with him.
"Isn't it just a lower couplet? You can come out as soon as you open your mouth. The root is below the wood, the ground above the wood, wood, and pine and cypress are in full bloom."
"Let's go." Chen Changfeng said with a smile, leaving a sentence, and then turned around and left.
"What?" The third prince didn't come to his senses.
However, the second prince opposite changed suddenly.
Looking at Chen Changfeng's back incredible way.
"Why did you express my first couplet so easily?" The second prince almost yelled out.
"Because your first couplet is simple." Chen Changfeng waved his hand with a smile, and then said: "Third brother, don't worry, Master Xu is with me, I will treat him well."
"What's going on?"
"Is this the right one?"
Many people didn't react.
"Second brother, why don't you stop him? Father, and sixth brother have not yet expressed the second couplet..."
"Ignorance." The emperor interrupted the third prince and left with a cold face.
