Kong Tianxia’s face froze.
Trash?
Ye Changsheng, you really dare to say it!
When the others heard Ye Qiu’s words, they immediately became furious and pointed at Ye Qiu and cursed.
’Ye Changsheng, who the hell are you talking about?」
’You actually called us trash, do you still want to live?」
’So damn arrogant!」
「……」
Wei Wuxin, Qin Jiang, Qin He, Zhuge Zhaoyang…
Although they didn’t speak, their faces were gloomy one by one, as if they wanted to tear Ye Qiu into pieces.
This Ye Changsheng, as soon as he shows up, he says we are trash. How dare he?
Ye Qiu looked at those who were shouting and said with an innocent face, ‘I didn’t even name names, but you have to take your seats according to the number. Is it my fault?’.
If it’s not your fault, whose fault is it?
Ye Changsheng, you wait for me. Today, I will make you look good.
You can never become the son-in-law of the Great Zhou!
Ye Qiu ignored the anger of the crowd and bowed to the Great Zhou Emperor, saying, “Greetings to the emperor. Long live the emperor!」
The Great Zhou Emperor was amused.
Usually, when the civil and military officials saw him, they would at most say a few words like “I wish the emperor a long life”, “May the emperor’s life be as long as the sky”, “wise and martial”, etc. It was the first time he had heard someone shout “long live” like Ye Qiu.
”Not bad. You are very filial.」
The Great Zhou Emperor was so happy that his mouth was almost crooked.
As for Wei Wuxin and others, they cast despised glances at Ye Qiu.
Flatterer!
The Great Zhou Emperor said, “Changsheng, we are all family. There is no need for so much etiquette. You can take your seat first!」
Ye Qiu sat down beside Kong Tianxia.
The Great Zhou Emperor then said, “Changsheng, do you know what day it is today?」
Ye Qiu nodded: “I know.」
The Great Zhou Emperor said, “Regarding the content of the competition, I have informed everyone yesterday. There will be a literary battle and a martial battle.」
”Now that Ye Changsheng has come, let’s start the competition!」
The first round is the literary battle!」
As soon as the words fell, there was another uproar at the scene.
Your Majesty, I don’t think there is any need to compare. Ye Changsheng is bound to lose in the literary battle.
The number one talented scholar of the Great Wei and the number one talented scholar of the Great Qian are both here. Even if Ye Changsheng has the help of the gods, he can’t win in the literary battle.
「Ye Changsheng is just a warrior. Can he write poems and lyrics?」
「Ye Changsheng will undoubtedly lose.」
「Your Majesty, why not announce the result directly!」
「……」
Countless people spoke out to taunt.
In their opinion, even if Ye Qiu is the first on the Hidden Dragon List and has the potential of an emperor, he must be completely ignorant in writing poems and lyrics.
High talent does not mean peerless literary talent.
Powerful cultivation has nothing to do with talent either.
If Ye Qiu had talent, he would have long been famous in Zhongzhou.
Moreover, today there are so many geniuses gathered. Those who participate in the competition for the son-in-law are all extremely talented. How could Ye Changsheng be their opponent?
「Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me.」
Wei Wuxin stood up and said, 「Since Ye Changsheng dares to come, it means that he is very confident in the literary competition.」
「So, let’s ask Your Majesty to set the question!」
Wei Wuxin also felt that Ye Qiu was completely ignorant of writing poems and lyrics. The reason why he said this was nothing more than to defeat Ye Qiu severely in front of everyone.
First, it could make Ye Qiu lose face in public.
Second, he could take this opportunity to show off his talent.
Third, he wanted to leave a good impression on Princess Ning’an.
Qin Jiang also said, 「Please ask Your Majesty to set the question.」
The Great Zhou Emperor thought for a while and said, “Then take the wind, flowers, snow, and moon as the theme. It can be either poetry or lyrics. As for who writes better… Everyone is a young talent with extraordinary talent. The quality of the poetry can be seen at a glance. There is no need for me to say more!」
「In order to be fair and just,
all those participating in the competition for the son-in-law can challenge Ye Changsheng.」
「Of course, if you are not good enough yourself, you can also find helpers.」
「Changsheng, do you have any objections?」
Ye Qiu shook his head: 「No objections.」
The Great Zhou Emperor waved his hand: 「Then let’s start!」
「Who will come first?」 Wei Wuxin looked at Kong Tianxia and Qin Jiang and the others.
Qin Jiang said: 「Since the object of the challenge today is Brother Ye, then let Brother Ye come first. Otherwise, later everyone will have excellent works continuously, and Brother Ye will not have the opportunity to write poetry. In that case, others will think that we are joining hands to bully Brother Ye.」
Everyone laughed: 「Hahaha…」
Before Ye Qiu could speak, the Long-browed True Man stood up first.
「You look down on people too much? Isn’t it just writing poetry? I’m best at it. Now I’ll write a poem about the wind. Listen carefully.」
The Long-browed True Man held his head high, imagining the unrestrained appearance of the poetry fairy Li Taibai writing poetry in his mind, and then chanted it while shaking his head.
「Last night, the strong wind blew, and I lay under the cherry tree. A group of babies were all shouting for their mothers.」
After the Long-browed True Man finished reciting, seeing everyone looking at him in astonishment, he smiled and said, “You don’t need to look at this poor Taoist with such eyes. I know the poem I wrote is very good.」
Ye Qiu quickly blocked his face with his hand. Damn it, it’s another doggerel poem. It’s so embarrassing.
A moment later.
「Hahaha…」
The whole audience burst into laughter.
「What are you laughing at? Isn’t the poem written by this poor Taoist good?」 The Long-browed True Man cursed.
Instantly, there was continuous laughter and ridicule all around.
「Is this also called a poem?」
「The poem I wrote when I was three years old is better than this.」
「It makes me laugh to death.」
「……」
The Long-browed True Man said, “Stop laughing. This poor Taoist has another one, which is more than a hundred times better than the previous one.」
「Listen carefully.」
The wind howls and shakes the branches, and the pedestrians on the street have their clothes and belts flying; the world changes without a constant state only the wind is blowing without stopping.
Damn it, it’s another doggerel poem.
Ye Qiu began to regret a little. He shouldn’t have brought the Long-browed True Man here. It’s really too embarrassing.
He wished he could find a crack in the ground and get in.
「Hahaha…」
After the Long-browed True Man finished reciting, the scene burst into laughter again.
Even the Great Zhou Emperor and Ning’an couldn’t help laughing. The Long-browed True Man was simply a living treasure.
「Why? Isn’t what this poor Taoist wrote good?」 The Long-browed True Man felt that he wrote very well, but why were everyone still laughing?..
Zhuge Zhaoyang said, “Old Taoist, stop writing poems. You are insulting poetry.」
Qin He said, “Everyone in our Great Qian can write poems like yours.」
Wei Wuxin laughed and said, “Today I really opened my eyes. I never thought that poems could be written like this. It makes me laugh to death.」
The long-browed real person’s old face was like the color of pig liver.
”Hmph, a group of things that don’t understand appreciation. I won’t bother with you.” The long-browed real person snorted coldly and returned behind Ye Qiu.
Wei Wuxin asked, “Ye Changsheng, did this Taoist write on your behalf?」
”If so, then in this literary fight, you are bound to lose.」
Ye Qiu immediately denied it and said, “The old thing only represents himself.」
”As for writing poems, to be honest, I don’t have much experience. But since it’s a fight, I can’t not write either.」
”Then I’ll write one to start the ball rolling.」
”Everyone, listen carefully.」
In the Golden Luan Hall, when Ning’an heard that Ye Qiu was going to write a poem, she immediately sat up straight, her eyes shining brightly, and she looked expectant.
She knew that Ye Qiu was going to use a big move!
