"Then who does Your Highness suspect?" Bluebird asked again.

"No doubt, it should be Li Chengze!" Li Chengyuan confirmed again.

"The Second Prince?" Bluebird asked, puzzled. "Why him?"

Li Chengyuan explained with a smile: "It's very simple, the only ones who dare to cause trouble for me at this time are the Crown Prince and Li Chengze.

As for the prince, I just formed an alliance with him, it is impossible for him to do something bad to me at this time, and this method is not like his style!

Li Chengze, on the other hand, likes to use this kind of bloodless trick to kill people the most.

In addition, I had not agreed to form an alliance with him before, and he was also afraid that I would suddenly become powerful and even surpass him in strength.

If that happens, I will become the prince's new whetstone, and he will most likely be abandoned by His Majesty.

So Li Chengze wants to form an alliance with me, but he doesn't want me to be stronger than him!

So it's normal for him to do this kind of covert suppression!"

"The Second Prince is so insidious!" Sang Wen pouted and said angrily.

Li Chengyuan pinched Sang Wen's pretty face again and warned her, "Don't say such things casually in the future. Our mansion is full of spies from other families. Be careful of ears!"

Sang Wen stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly, "I understand, Your Highness!"

Li Chengyuan said gently, "Just bear with it for a while. Once I have time to clean up the people in the mansion, you won't have to be so cautious anymore!"

"Yes, I understand, Your Highness!" Sang Wen said obediently.

Bluebird spoke again, "Your Highness, should I go and capture the person who spread the rumor?"

"No need! Why arrest him?" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Those who are sent by Li Chengze to do such dangerous things are basically his assassins.

This kind of person will not confess even if he is caught.

And even if he confessed.

Even the words of a death warrior cannot identify a prince.

If I don't handle it right, people might think I'm narrow-minded and can't tolerate criticism, which would be counterproductive! "

"Ah? Then isn't this just bullying in vain?" Sang Wen said angrily.

"That's my second brother! If he doesn't attack, it's fine. But when he does, he goes straight for the vital points, leaving no trace. He makes you suffer and you can't even get revenge!"

Li Chengyuan sighed.

I have to say, Li Chengze is really amazing.

In the plot, he made Fan Xian suffer many times, and Fan Xian was unable to find any evidence.

In the end, it was with the help of the power of the Censorate that Li Chengze suffered losses.

But he is not Fan Xian.

Fan Xian needs evidence for revenge, but he doesn't need it!

Li Chengyuan thought for a moment, then turned to ask Qingniao, "Qingniao, are you sure you can win against an eighth-rank master?"

"Yes!" Bluebird replied without hesitation upon hearing this!

Qingniao is a top-level ninth-grade expert, and he would not necessarily be at a disadvantage even if facing Haitang Duoduo.

It is natural to have this confidence!

Hearing this, Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "Then come with me and help me beat this guy!"

"Okay!" Bluebird nodded without hesitation.

Li Chengyuan looked at the expressionless Qingniao, and suddenly reached out and pinched Qingniao's pretty face, saying gently, "You have to be careful too. If you can't win, withdraw in time. Don't be afraid of embarrassing me. Compared to my face, I care more about you, understand?"

Qingniao was blushing after being attacked by Li Chengyuan suddenly.

A hint of helplessness suddenly appeared on her originally cold and pretty face.

But the bluebird felt very sweet in its heart.

She had liked Li Chengyuan for a long time, but because of her cold personality, she was not good at expressing it in words and could only like him secretly.

Now that Li Chengyuan suddenly cared about her, Qingniao felt both panicked and sweet in her heart!

"I understand, Your Highness!" Bluebird replied shyly.

"Well! Let's go!" Li Chengyuan stopped teasing Qingniao and walked straight out of the bedroom.

Qingniao quickly returned to his room to get his weapons, and then quickly caught up with Li Chengyuan.

...

Soon, it was the beginning of the Si hour!

Almost all the invited guests have arrived.

Only the prince and Li Chengze are missing.

These two were on time too.

As soon as the banquet time arrived, they came together.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Chengyuan bowed.

Upon seeing this, the prince stepped forward hastily and said, "blame":

"Chengyuan, I've already told you that we're brothers, so don't be polite. If you continue like this, I'll be angry!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and replied, "Etiquette cannot be abolished!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Chengze and said with a smile: "Second brother is here too? Have you prepared a gift for me?"

"Of course!" Li Chengze's eyes narrowed slightly, but he immediately regained his composure and smiled warmly at Li Chengyuan, "This is my third brother's first poetry gathering, so how could I not bring a gift? I've put together a set of four treasures of the study from the great masters of the previous dynasty. They're all extremely valuable and unique pieces. I hope you like them!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and replied, "Haha, how could I not like the gift that Second Brother prepared for me? Don't worry, Second Brother, I've always been a person who repays kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. I will always remember your kindness to me!"

"Okay, okay, as long as you remember it!" Li Chengze replied with a smile.

The prince standing by was secretly surprised when he saw this scene.

what's the situation?

Why did he feel that there was a knife hidden in the words of these two people?

Could it be that something happened in the past two days that he didn't know about?

If that's true, then the third brother is really kind.

We just agreed to form an alliance with him, and now he immediately starts targeting the second one.

He really likes this vigorous and decisive style!

After all, they are brothers, and they really come to help when something happens!

Chapter 29: The Poetry Festival Begins! Amazing Rewards! Revenge on Li Chengze!

After the arrival of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the poetry reading officially began.

Because it is early winter and the weather outside is cold, the poetry meeting can only be held inside the hall.

The reception room of Prince Li's mansion can only accommodate about 37 people.

So, we had no choice but to use the side halls on both sides and open all the side doors, so that we could arrange a poetry gathering for a total of 120 people!

Most of the people who came to participate in the poetry gathering this time were young masters and young ladies from major mansions, and they were either rich or noble.

In addition, there are disciples raised by various wealthy families, whose identities are also extraordinary.

There were only a dozen or so people, all ordinary, down-and-out scholars.

These people were selected by Li Chengyuan himself, and they are all good scholars who write stories.

The person that Li Chengyuan paid the most attention to was undoubtedly Yang Wanli.

He was sitting in the main hall at the moment, but in the corner.

In order to prevent him from standing out, Li Chengyuan specially selected two other poor scholars with good talents to accompany him.

Apart from the three of them, everyone sitting in the hall was either rich or noble.

Li Chengyuan also saw many familiar faces.

The ones who surprised him the most were Fan Ruoruo and Lin Wan'er.

Li Chengyuan really didn't expect that these two women would come.

Especially Lin Wan'er, because he has tuberculosis, he rarely goes out.

I didn’t expect that even she would come to join in the fun this time!

...

After everyone arrived, Li Chengyuan gave a few brief opening remarks and then announced the start of the poetry reading.

Afterwards, Li Hongcheng, who hosted the poetry reading, announced the rules of the reading!

This poetry dinner is naturally centered around poetry.

Every talented person who participates in the poetry meeting can write poems, with no limit on the number or subject matter. As long as the work has not been published, even if it has been written before, as long as it has not been shown to others, it is considered a new work.

After talented people have finished writing their works, they can recite them in public.

Then if everyone feels it is good, they can stay temporarily.

When the banquet is about to end, the ten best poems will be selected from all the works.

The authors of the ten best poems will receive the poetry festival grand prize.

The prize was very generous. After obtaining Emperor Qing's consent, Li Chengyuan took out some of the treasures that Emperor Qing had rewarded him with as a prize.

Among them are the four treasures of the study, rice paper, pearls and jade, seals and folding fans, etc., all of which are things that scholars like.

Moreover, these were all gifts from the emperor. Not to mention ordinary people, even many rich young masters had never seen them!

This shows how precious it is!

In addition, the poetry winner may also receive a poem personally written by the Third Prince!

A series of generous rewards surprised and stunned the young masters, young ladies and scholars present!

They knew that the prizes for this poetry reading were generous, but they didn’t expect them to be so generous!
