A treasure bestowed by the imperial court!

The third prince gave a poem in his own hand!

Each one is enough to drive them crazy!

So, after the rules were announced, many people's faces flushed with excitement, and then they immediately started writing poems.

Some people are beating their chests and stamping their feet.

After receiving the invitation, they were so happy that they forgot to prepare in advance. They had no stock at all and could only think about it now!

But in such an exciting occasion, thoughts and inspiration are greatly affected.

It is extremely difficult to compose good poetry on the spot in such an occasion!

But they didn't give up.

After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I have to write one even if I have to bite the bullet.

Otherwise, if they give up directly, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

......

Soon, someone wrote a poem, and after asking for permission, began to recite it in public.

As soon as this person finished reading, people started commenting on it, some saying good things and some saying bad things.

Finally, it was Li Chengyuan who decided whether to keep the poem!

The first poem may have been written too hastily, and it was neither good nor bad, but it was a good start after all, so Li Chengyuan kept it.

Anyway, staying doesn't represent the final outcome.

But this was enough to make this person extremely excited.

With the first one, there is the second one.

Soon, the talented men and women present took out their own stocks and began to show off their talents.

The atmosphere was very lively.

.......

In the blink of an eye, it was noon and the poetry reading was suspended.

The servants in the palace brought up lunch one after another.

Everyone ate, drank and discussed the poems they had read that morning.

Li Chengyuan was the one who accompanied the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, chatting with them about some polite conversations.

Finally, lunch is over.

The servants took away the leftovers and brought tea, fruit and snacks.

According to normal plan, the poetry reading should continue at this time.

But Li Chengyuan suddenly suggested, "Well, we just finished our meal, and it's not good to sit here all the time. How about we go out and digest the food first?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince echoed, "Third brother, it's freezing outside. How are you going to help everyone digest their food?"

Everyone looked at Li Chengyuan curiously.

Li Chengyuan smiled slightly and said, "That's easy! Let's go out and watch a martial arts competition!"

As he spoke, Li Chengyuan suddenly turned to look at Li Chengze, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I heard that your guard Xie Bian is known as the fastest swordsman in the capital?"

Li Chengze was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Third brother, you're joking. These are just rumors. Xie Bian only knows some martial arts, so he doesn't deserve the title of the fastest swordsman!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Second brother is the most modest. Xie Bian can protect Second brother. I believe that even if he is not the fastest swordsman, he is not far behind, right?"

Li Chengze narrowed his eyes. He had already heard that Li Chengyuan was coming for him.

So after a faint smile, Li Chengze said: "Third brother, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly!"

"My idea is very simple!" Li Chengyuan said, "I have a maid who loves to wield spears and sticks, especially the fast spear. So when I heard that Xie Bian is the fastest swordsman in the capital, I wanted to compete with him. It would also be a good opportunity for everyone to watch the fun!"

Li Chengze was stunned again.

He thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that Li Chengyuan would actually find someone to compete with Xie Bian?

And the one you're looking for is a maid?

Li Chengze’s first thought was, did Li Chengyuan underestimate Xie Bian?

Xie Bian is one of the most powerful people around him.

Although it is only the eighth grade, it is infinitely close to the ninth grade!

Not to mention the entire Kyoto, even in the entire Qing Kingdom, there are not many people who can beat him in a martial arts competition.

After all, there are only so many ninth-grade masters, and they are all counted.

And now Li Chengyuan actually wants the maid beside him to compete with Xie Bian, which is simply a humiliation to Xie Bian.

Fighting with a maid is really shameful if you win, and even more embarrassing if you lose!

So Li Chengze's first thought was to refuse.

After all, there is no benefit in agreeing to such a thing.

Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth to refuse, Li Chengyuan said directly, "Also, to make the competition more interesting, I'm offering a prize. If either of them wins, I'll compose a poem for them! Also, if they're willing to compete, after the poetry competition, I'll give each of the ten winning talents a poem. What do you think?"

Chapter 30 Li Chengze's defense is broken! Xie Bian is defeated in one move!

The back garden of the palace.

There is a garden here, and there is a pond in the corner of the garden. The water of this pond comes from Qing Lake outside the palace!

In fact, these princely mansions within Shixin Gate were built around Qing Lake.

Qing Lake is an inner lake in Kyoto. It is naturally formed with clear water and is managed by the royal family, hence the name Qing Lake!

At this time, all the people participating in the poetry meeting temporarily left the palace and gathered by the Qing Lake.

Because the place is spacious and the scenery is good.

And since it is for digestion, you must walk a few more steps.

It was just that the weather was not good. It was already winter, but it suddenly started to drizzle.

Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, just a few drizzles, and no one paid much attention to it.

At this moment, everyone formed a semicircle.

In the middle of the semicircle, Bluebird and Xie Bian stood facing each other.

One holds a gun, the other holds a sword!

In the center of the semicircle, the three princes stood together.

Li Chengze looked a little unhappy.

Li Chengyuan was obviously provoking him.

It would be fine if Xie Bian won, but if Xie Bian lost, not only would he lose momentum in front of Li Chengyuan today, but he would also lose face!

The most disgusting thing is that he can't refuse.

What Li Chengyuan said in the room just now was tantamount to moral kidnapping.

It would be fine to write poems to Blue Bird or Xie Bian.

But Li Chengyuan also promised that as long as Xie Bian was willing to fight, Li Chengyuan would write a poem for each winner.

In this case, if Li Chengyuan refuses, not only will he offend people, but his reputation will also be ruined!

When this matter gets out in the future, people will say that he, Li Chengze, is afraid of Li Chengyuan.

Moreover, because Xie Bian did not participate in the battle, Li Chengyuan wrote ten fewer poems. He is simply a "sinner" in the literary world!

Li Chengze simply cannot afford the consequences!

So he had no choice but to let Xie Bian fight.

But the same thing goes, if Xie Bian beat a maid, it would be dishonorable if he won, and even more shameful if he lost!

You'll suffer a loss no matter what!

Li Chengze became angrier the more he thought about it. He couldn't help but walk past the crown prince and come to Li Chengyuan. He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, did my second brother offend you?"

Upon seeing this, the prince standing by immediately tilted his ear and began to eavesdrop seriously.

Li Chengyuan put his hands behind his back and replied calmly, "Second brother, you're joking. You and I are brothers, how can there be any mention of offending each other?"

Li Chengze said coldly, "Then what's the point of doing this? You also said that we are brothers. Even if there are conflicts, they should be put on the table. So even if you are targeting me, you have to let me lose clearly, right?"

Li Chengyuan paused and said, "Second brother, did you hear about what happened outside Shixin Gate this morning?"

Li Chengze was stunned and asked confusedly, "Do you suspect that I sent that person?"

Li Chengyuan curled his lips and said, "Do you know it clearly?"

Li Chengze said anxiously, "What do I know? Third brother, that person is really not mine! You suspect me, do you have any evidence?"
