After Ma Shaoxing recited the poem, it was obvious that the faces of everyone in the hall changed.
Bai Sinian's smile froze on his face, and his expression didn't look very good!
No one could have imagined it.
This young man looks ordinary and even dresses like a beggar.
How could he create such a eloquent and well-executed masterpiece in such a short period of time.
However, this kind of astonishment and surprise did not last too long.
After everyone came to their senses, they began to show contempt for Ma Shaoxing.
"The writing is smelly and long, just like my great-grandmother's foot-binding cloth!"
"That's it? That's it? How dare you write it at this level and let everyone appreciate it?"
"How dare you try your best to master a small skill!"
"Oh, this poem is written like a running account, how can it be compared with Mr. Bai's masterpiece!"
"..."
Bai Sinian's face was originally a little ugly, but after hearing the words of the people around him, his face took on a little color.
"This Mr. Ma is not capable of writing poetry at any level."
"You'd better go back and study more, and come to the poetry meeting again!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was filled with joyful laughter.
"Looking at this guy's appearance, I'm afraid he's never even been to a private school, and he can't even write a few big characters, right?"
"You're at this level, and you still dare to come out and imitate other people's poems? Don't make people laugh to death!"
Ma Shaoxing did not expect that the work he had devoted so much effort to would be trampled under the feet of everyone and criticized as worthless, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Just when Ma Shaoxing clenched his fists tightly, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow down.
Suddenly, a faint male voice came from the stands on the second floor.
“You don’t just take a piss to see what kind of person you are, but you just open your mouth and point fingers at others?”
"With all due respect, except for Mr. Ma, everyone here is rubbish!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
"Who is talking nonsense here? Get off!"
"How dare you speak so rudely in front of Mr. Bai Sinian? Come on, let me see who the great poet is!"
"Oh, today's poetry meeting is attended by all the literati from the entire capital! How could such a shameless person sneak in!"
"Come down!"
"That's it! Get down now!"
Amidst the indignant noises from everyone in the hall, Song Huan slowly stood up.
"Who told me to get out of here just now?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the daughter of the prime minister was sitting with a man they had never seen before, and their faces showed doubts.
"Huh? Who is this?"
"Isn't that Miss Cheng Susu Cheng, the daughter of the Prime Minister? She always appears alone on weekdays and has never been with a man!"
"I heard that Cheng Susu is already engaged to the current fourth prince. Now that she appears with this man, will Hongxing be cheating on her?"
"What a guy! It's so exciting to come to a poetry meeting and hear such exciting news!"
"..."
Bai Sinian raised his eyes and looked up. The more he looked at Song Huan, the more he felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Suddenly, Bai Sinian's pupils tightened and he hurriedly leaned down.
"Meet His Highness the Fourth Prince!"
The fourth prince rarely visited Changchunfang in the past, and Bai Sinian only met him a few times.
At that time, the fourth prince always lowered his head and his eyes were timid, as if he did not dare to look at anyone at all.
If he hadn't appeared with the third prince at that time, Bai Sinian wouldn't have been able to recognize that this man was actually the current prince!
Why is it so different when we meet today?
Everyone was joking unscrupulously, but when they saw Bai Sinian's sudden behavior, they were all shocked.
The fourth prince?
Is he the fourth prince who is known as the most useless prince?
Is he the fourth prince who rarely appears in public and is said to be born with insufficient development?
Why does it look so different from the fool who accomplished nothing in the rumors?
On the contrary, his domineering side is revealed, making people unable to bear to look at him!
Everyone's hearts were filled with doubts. Seeing that Bai Sinian had already taken the lead in kneeling, they did not dare to delay and knelt on the ground one after another.
"Meet His Highness the Fourth Prince!"
"I don't know that His Highness the Fourth Prince has arrived. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me for my sins!"
Song Huan glanced at the entire audience and saw that the person hiding in the back was the happiest person who had just shouted.
"You were the one who told me to get out of here just now?"
The man thought that by hiding in the corner, he would not attract Song Huan's attention.
Unexpectedly, he was caught out by Song Huan, so he had to kowtow to Song Huan.
"It's the little one who talks without restraint! It's the little one who deserves to die!"
"Please, Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, don't remember the faults of the villain and don't argue with the others!"
Song Huan said expressionlessly: "I won't argue with you."
"Go away, don't let me see you again!"
As if he had been granted amnesty, the man stood up and left the scene in embarrassment.
Bai Sinian was so embarrassed that he quickly opened his mouth and asked: "Your Highness, you are here, and you must be here to participate in the poetry meeting!"
"I'm sorry, there is a bad person here who has stained your eyes. I will send someone to drive him away right now!"
After saying that, Bai Sinian waved his hand and ordered the clerk from Changchunfang to quickly drive Ma Shaoxing out of the door.
"Wait a minute."
Song Huan stopped Bai Sinian's movement with a loud voice.
"Since you said this is a poetry gathering that everyone can come to participate in, why would you just drive others away casually?"
"In my opinion, the level of Mr. Ma is far higher than that of you, the number one literary figure in the capital."
Ever since Ma Shaoxing showed up just now, Song Huan has become very interested in this young man.
Although his clothes are not glamorous, he can even be described as "shabby".
But when facing a group of dignitaries and rich second-generation people, he always straightened his spine and showed no signs of timidity.
Especially after reading one of his poems, Song Huan couldn't help but admire him with admiration!
His works are obviously much higher than that of "the most talented man in the capital" who can only put on airs.
Hearing Song Huan's words, the sinister look on Bai Sinian's face swept away, and then he smiled slowly.
He is indeed a idiot who is famous throughout Daliang, but he still has the nerve to point fingers here and make people laugh?
Absolutely ridiculous!
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I'm afraid you don't know how to write poems and essays, right?"
"When writing poetry, the more words it has, the better it is."
"Why don't you go back and ask the Third Prince for advice? I will definitely be waiting for His Highness to come to the Poetry Competition next year!"
As soon as Bai Sinian said this, several people couldn't help but snickered secretly.
If he wants to reach the level of the Third Prince, this idiot can only hope in his next life!
Now, you are still talking loudly in front of Mr. Bai?
All I can say is that he is still too naive!
