"Let me compete with the second brother. The second brother is the most talented man in our Ming Empire. Isn't it obvious that the third brother is bullying me?" Chen Changfeng, who had never spoken before, spoke.

It wasn't that he was afraid of losing to the second prince, but that the third prince clearly thought he was a fool.

"Then, sixth brother, you have a fist fight with me. If you win..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a general in the army and your skills are ranked among the top three in the entire Ming Dynasty. Are you asking your sixth brother to compete with you?" The emperor interrupted the third prince.

The third prince's expression changed when he heard this.

He had already guessed that the emperor would not agree to his contest with Chen Changfeng.

"Father, Mr. Xu is also the third brother's guest, so it would not be good for the third brother to leave with the sixth brother like this."

"Why don't we let Erchen and Sixth Brother have a small competition? Erchen can't use all his strength, so let's make a couplet. If Sixth Brother comes up against each other, the Sixth Brother will win the contest."

"What do you think, father?" the second prince said with a smile.

"It's just a couplet. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have the courage, Master Xu should not go with him."

"That's right, the dignified prince doesn't even dare to answer the couplet?"

"I estimate that His Highness the Crown Prince may have obtained these so-called drawings drawn by himself from others. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince has never been very talented."

Officials from the weapons supervisory department also spoke one after another.

They were originally the Third Prince's people, and now that Chen Changfeng wanted to take away the most important person in the weapons supervisor, they naturally felt jealous of Chen Changfeng.

The emperor frowned. He did not expect that his imperial edict would cause such a big fuss.

I never expected that the drawings of this guy Chen Changfeng would attract the attention of people like Master Xu.

However, the second prince and the third prince insisted on persisting in the competition. If he did not agree, he might hurt their desire for supremacy.

if that is the case……

"In that case, let's have a competition. Wen'er will come up with the first couplet, and Changfeng will come up with the second couplet."

"Everyone present will judge the merits together." The emperor made the final decision.

"Thank you, father." The third prince looked happy.

His eyes fell on Chen Changfeng's face, filled with pride.

Chen Changfeng thought that he wanted to take Master Xu away with a few drawings he got from nowhere.

It's just a dream.

The second prince Chen Wen was the most talented man in the Ming Empire.

Although the couplets are not as profound as poems, they are definitely not something that a good-for-nothing prince like Chen Changfeng can figure out.

The third prince had already predicted that today's solution would be that Chen Changfeng would get out of the weapons prison in despair.

"Sixth brother, you are ready. Second brother will not embarrass you and will only give you a simple couplet." The second prince walked up to Chen Changfeng with a smile on his face.

"You'd better come up with a difficult one, otherwise I'm afraid you'll regret it later and say you're going to come up with another one, which will waste my time." Chen Changfeng smiled lightly.

Is the couplet difficult for him?

"Hahaha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has a strong tone. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty. Not just any cat or dog can match the Second Prince's couplet," an weapons supervisor said with a smile.

Chen Changfeng's eyes fell on this weapons supervision officer.

Then he looked at the emperor: "Father, I suggest that this old thing be executed. If I are a cat or a dog, then wouldn't my father be an old cat or an old dog?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. I... I... I just..."

"Get out of here!" The emperor glanced coldly at the weapons supervisor who spoke.

I thought to myself that I was standing here and did nothing, so why did I get scolded for nothing?

No, is this kid scolding himself?

Just because she agreed to compete with the second prince?

Old cat?

Old dog?

I am a dragon, a real dragon!

As if receiving an amnesty, the weapons supervisor shrank aside and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with fear.

Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince's power of words could reach such an extent.

With one sentence, he almost was accused of insulting the emperor.

Everyone did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"Sixth Brother is a little different from before, but his quick words are of no use. Instead, he can easily offend people."

"Sixth brother, please listen carefully, my first couplet is: A mantis' arm is like a chariot, a violent tiger is crossing the river, how can an ordinary man be brave?"

"Haha, this first couplet is really on point. Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to compete with the Second Prince. That's not like using a mantis' arm as a chariot or a violent tiger Feng He. It's really the courage of an ordinary man."

"That's not true. The second prince is so talented and learned that the great scholars in the court cannot match him. His Royal Highness actually competes with the second prince. I can only say that his courage is commendable."

"What's so commendable about courage is that it's clearly courageous but reckless."

As soon as the second prince's first couplet came out, everyone immediately cheered.

The third prince also had a smile on his face.

This couplet was not only difficult to match the second couplet, but also mocked Chen Changfeng for himself.

He really felt bad for himself.

The emperor's eyes fell on Chen Changfeng, his eyes a little complicated.

Although Chen Changfeng's performance today has made him feel incredible several times.

First, he solved the locust plague, and then he defeated Liu Haoxue with his painting skills.

But this couplet uses all the knowledge in the stomach. Without real talent and practical knowledge, there is no way to have a neat second couplet.

Moreover, this first couplet is clearly mocking Chen Changfeng. If Chen Changfeng cannot mock him back, Chen Changfeng will lose this contest.

But with Chen Changfeng’s ability, how could he come up with a suitable second line?

The emperor shook his head secretly. He should have just rejected the competition directly and let Chen Changfeng go back by himself while Master Xu stayed in the weapons supervisory department.

Otherwise it wouldn’t be...

"Sixth Brother, how long does it take to write the second line? If it takes too long, Second Brother will have to go back to work first."

"If the sixth brother wants to come up with it, come to the second brother again. As for Mr. Xu, please continue to stay here." The second prince couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that Chen Changfeng didn't move.

Although it is unethical to bully Chen Changfeng, a guy who has no ink in his belly, this is what Chen Changfeng asked for.

Are you going to make things difficult for yourself?

What the hell!

Master Xu looked at Chen Changfeng and saw that Chen Changfeng was silent. He couldn't help but wonder whether the drawings Chen Changfeng gave him were really drawn by Chen Changfeng himself.

Without enough knowledge and talent, how can you draw such drawings?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Second brother, don't worry. I just thought of two second couplets, so it took some time, but they can fit in with the first couplet of second brother." Xu Fuzi was about to speak when he heard Chen Changfeng say.

"What? Two second lines?"

"Sixth brother, are you here to make a joke?" The third prince laughed immediately.

Chen Changfeng, this loser, actually said that he came up with two second lines in such a short period of time.

But it makes me laugh so hard that I don’t even need to draft a draft now when I’m bragging?

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head secretly.

He had been secretly thinking about the second line just now, but he still couldn't think of anything until now.

Chen Changfeng said that he already had two second lines.

Isn’t this nonsense?

He is a majestic emperor of the Ming Empire, but he can't even compare to a useless... little thing like Chen Changfeng?

The rest of the people also suppressed their laughter and looked at Chen Changfeng with strange eyes.

Chen Changfeng waved his hand, his expression unchanged, and said: "Second brother, please listen carefully, the first couplet is: ants follow the locust tree, earthworms shake the tree, fools pretend to be virtuous."

"Ants stalk the locust tree, earthworms shake the tree, do fools pretend to be virtuous?"

"The second second line: The cicada does not know the snow, the ant succeeds, when will the villain resign."

Everyone was still savoring the first second line, and Chen Changfeng had already finished the second line.

"You fool, you are calling yourself a fool. Are you calling the second prince a fool? Do you still think you are powerful?"

"Silence, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"When will the villain resign? Are you telling the second and third princes to get out of here? Are you calling them villains?"

"Ants walk along the locust trees, earthworms shake the trees, cicadas don't know the snow, and ants succeed. This... this is all scolding the second and third princes, and it is completely consistent with the previous mantis' arm as a cart, and the violent tiger Feng He."

"Is this...is this really the second line that the prince came up with?"
