"Haha...hahahaha!"
"Funny, so funny!"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Song Huan burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"how?"
"If you can recite a few lines of sour poetry in a sour tone, and put together a bunch of flashy words with a veneer of words, you will feel that you are awesome, right?"
"Isn't it just about composing poetry?"
"Do you really think you are superior to others?"
Wow——
Song Huan's words immediately caused an uproar.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, we know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious yet..."
"Yes! Do you know how much knowledge is required to write a stunning poem? This is not something you just open your mouth to do!"
Bai Sinian smiled even more, and even looked at Song Huan with some sarcasm.
"Since writing poetry is a piece of cake according to the Fourth Prince, why not let His Highness read a few poems at random to open the eyes of all of us."
Bai Sinian witnessed with his own eyes that the fourth prince once followed the third prince, looking timid and ignorant.
I don’t know who gave him this out-of-nowhere courage to dare to say that writing poetry is not difficult in front of all the literati in the capital!
Since he is so arrogant, let him be severely embarrassed in front of everyone!
Anyway, the third prince has become extremely disgusted with him more than once...
After hearing Bai Sinian's words, everyone immediately echoed.
"Yes, Fourth Prince! Just let us open our eyes!"
“We also want to enjoy and read your masterpiece!”
Cheng Susu looked worried when she heard this.
"...Hey, stop making trouble! There are many sons of dignitaries here!"
"What if today's events are reported to the palace and His Majesty hears about it, he might have some opinions on you!"
Song Huan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this tigress would be worried about him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will be embarrassed?"
Cheng Susu was a little anxious: "Why should I dislike you? It's not the first day I've met you!"
"But His Majesty must save face. If he thinks you have disgraced the royal family, I don't know how he will punish you!"
Even Cheng Susu herself didn't realize that at some point, she would be particularly concerned about the man in front of her.
Song Huan grinned and raised his eyebrows at Cheng Susu.
"Don't worry, you will soon find out how rubbish your idol really is."
"Ah?" Before Cheng Susu understood what Song Huan was talking about, she saw him striding towards the stairs.
"I remember that the theme of today's poetry meeting is frontier fortress poetry?"
Bai Sinian smiled lightly: "Not bad."
"But for His Highness the Fourth Prince, there is no restriction on the topic."
"Of course, there are no restrictions on the content or length of the poem!"
"As long as His Highness the Fourth Prince can write a complete quatrain, His Highness the Fourth Prince will win today!"
After hearing Bai Sinian's words, everyone chuckled.
Indeed, considering the intellectual level of the fourth prince, being able to write a poem at will is already considered an extraordinary achievement!
Do you still expect him to complete some shocking masterpiece?
What a big joke!
Song Huan just shook his head.
"I am not the least bit interested in your poetry gathering. Whether or not you win is of no consequence to me."
"However, if this king can compose a poem, all of you here must kowtow to him and apologize!"
With that said, Song Huan stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Shaoxing who was standing aside.
Bai Sinian frowned: "Does His Highness know this person?"
"I don't know!" Song Huan replied, "I just can't stand you second generation ancestors who look down on others!"
"I know I don't have any ideas, but I point fingers at people who are truly talented."
"This kind of behavior is really despicable and disgusting!"
Song Huan's words made everyone's faces turn green and red for a while, which was really ugly.
Bai Sinian suppressed the anger in his heart and made a "please" gesture to Song Huan.
"Then please start, Your Highness!"
Song Huan stood at the edge of the stairs, turned to look at the worried Cheng Susu, and then walked down the stairs step by step.
"At the time of the Qin Dynasty, there was a bright moon and at the time of the Han Dynasty, the people who marched thousands of miles away have not yet returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains!"
"Qinghai is covered with long clouds and dark snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city overlooks the Yumen Pass. The golden pangolin will fight for a hundred times, but Loulan will never be returned until it is broken!"
"Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, about to destroy it, and the armor's light is shining towards the golden scales of the sun. The sound of horns fills the autumn sky, and the swallow's fat condenses into purple at night!"
"Looking eastward from my hometown, the road is long, and my sleeves are full of tears. We will meet soon without paper and pen, and I will rely on you to convey peace!"
"..."
There are a total of twenty-one steps from the second floor to the first floor.
Every time he goes down the stairs, a seven-character quatrain is recited from Song Huan's mouth.
There are exactly twenty-one steps, and there are twenty-one quatrains!
When Song Huan finally walked in front of everyone, everyone was stunned and their eyes were dull.
No one would believe that this stupid and incompetent prince in rumors could actually write such a poem with magnificent imagery and great passion!
And it’s not one song, but twenty-one!
While talking and laughing, he can create twenty-one popular and soul-stirring quatrains.
The fourth prince’s creative ability is so terrifying!
Bai Sinian's palms became sweaty, his pupils shook, and his mouth opened wide but he couldn't utter a word.
Is this the same Fourth Prince who I have seen several times but whose appearance is hard to remember?
Is this still the idiot who followed the third prince and was so obedient that he didn't dare to open his mouth?
This is not the same person at all!
Bai Sinian's hands were shaking.
He never thought that after carefully planning the poetry meeting for several years and selecting countless talented people with rich knowledge, none of them could compare with the good-for-nothing Fourth Prince!
Song Huan walked up to Bai Sinian with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Bai, I have finished my poem."
"Young Master Bai should also keep his word, set an example, and take the initiative to kowtow to Ma Shaoxing and admit his mistakes, right?"
Wha...what? !
Do you really want to bow your head to that beggar and admit your mistake?
Bai Sinian raised his head in fear and looked at Song Huan with an expression that was almost begging for mercy.
"Your Highness, it was down below that I spoke indiscriminately and bumped into you, but..."
"Just what?" Song Huan's eyes narrowed.
"Bai Sinian, the most dignified and talented man in the capital, is he going to renege on his words in front of everyone?"
"As far as I know, today's poetry meeting is hosted by you on behalf of the third prince, right?"
"If the Third Prince knew, you actually caused so many troubles at the poetry meeting and ruined his reputation!"
"I wonder, will he blame you?"
Song Huan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and looked at Bai Sinian in front of him playfully.
Big beads of sweat were seen dripping down his cheeks.
The originally graceful Mr. Bai has lost any of his previous elegance.
