The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Su Chen also looked a little anxious. They were all waiting for Ye Feng to come and preside over the literary event. He stood up, smiled, and said, "You have come from afar, so please be patient. Today's literary event will be presided over by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty himself!"

"Master Su is wrong. We have heard that Master Su is very talented and well-versed in history. Now, it is not appropriate to let a young boy preside over the literary event, right?"

When Ran Maoshan heard that Ye Feng was to host the literary event, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked a little unhappy. In his opinion, even if Ye Feng was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so what? Hosting a literary event requires status and position, as well as cultural background, and Ye Feng is not qualified yet.

"Hahaha... Master Su, if there is really no one to preside over your Great Song Dynasty, you might as well let me take over. I don't mind serving!" Sima Jieyuan sat there, holding a feather fan, looking particularly elegant. His hearty laughter caused quite a stir.

"He is Sima Jieyuan, the most talented man in the Great Jin Dynasty. I didn't expect that he would come to Luofu City in person to participate in this literary event." Someone recognized Sima Jieyuan's identity and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's right. I recommend Sima Jieyuan, the most talented man in our Great Jin Dynasty, to personally host this literary event." Sima Zhu, who was sitting next to them, also echoed.

"If Patriarch Su is unwilling to host the literary event, let someone else do it!"

"I think it's a good idea, so as not to waste everyone's time."

"I heard that your Great Song Dynasty's so-called Zhenguojun is good at fighting, but I'm afraid he doesn't have enough cultural background to host a literary event."

……

The people from other dynasties sitting on the platform all followed suit, with mockery and smiles on their faces, not polite at all.

"You are wrong. I think that the Lord Zhenguo deserves the title of hosting this literary event." At this moment, an old man sitting on the right, wearing a long robe and elegant appearance, was none other than the great Confucian scholar Cen Shenzi of the Wei Dynasty.

Sima Zhu and the others were all stunned. They all knew Cen Shenzi. Ye Feng was kicked out of the Wei Dynasty. They never expected that Cen Shenzi would speak for Ye Feng.

"The Lord of the State has arrived!"

Just as everyone was talking, Wei Xian's sharp voice resounded throughout the square. Everyone looked towards a place not far away and saw a carriage slowly approaching the edge of the platform.

Ye Feng gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, with a smile on his face, and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

"Hmph! It would be a joke if all the people of the Song Dynasty were as rude as you!" When Mi Heng saw Ye Feng coming, he thought about how he invited him to write couplets yesterday and was directly ignored by him, so he could not help but snorted coldly.

Ye Feng still ignored him, walked down from the carriage, came to the main seat next to Su Chen, sat down without any hesitation, his eyes swept over everyone.

Mi Heng and the others, who were originally aggressive, felt that gaze one by one, like a sharp sword. They did not dare to look directly at it and avoided it one after another.

"Thank you all for coming all the way to Luofu City to participate in the literary event held by our Great Song Dynasty. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I welcome you all!"

"I believe everyone is familiar with the procedures of the literary event, so I will not elaborate on them. Now I declare that this literary event has officially begun!"

Ye Feng did not waste any more time. He announced the start of the literary event with just a few words. He sat back in the main seat, raised the teacup beside him, and sipped the tea gently.

As Ye Feng announced the start of the literary event, people began to step forward one after another. Some started to write couplets, and some started to compete in poetry and songs, making the event seem particularly lively.

Be it Mi Heng, the newly crowned number one scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty, Sima Jieyuan, the most talented scholar of the Great Jin Dynasty, or Zhu Cheng, the Grand Secretary of the Western Shu Dynasty, none of them rushed to stand up, but watched the fight among the people coldly.

They all felt that it would be beneath their dignity to jump out now.

After about two or three hours, those who were writing couplets or poems seemed to be enjoying themselves, but they also began to run out of words and seemed to be at a loss for words.

Mi Heng had a faint smile on his face. He walked to the middle of the platform, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice: "I have long heard that the literati of the Great Song Dynasty are good at writing couplets. Today, I, Mi Heng, would like to set up a competition. I will write the first couplet, and I would like to ask all the literati friends of the Great Song Dynasty to write the second couplet. How do you think?"

The originally noisy atmosphere became solemn as Mi Heng took the lead in provoking others. Many scholars in Luofu City began to whisper to each other.

They all knew that Mi Heng was the new number one scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now it seemed that both Mi Heng of the Great Xia Dynasty and Sima Jieyuan of the Great Jin Dynasty came with bad intentions.

"I am surprised that people from the Great Xia Dynasty have become so good at writing. Just give me the first line of the couplet and I will match it!"

Wang Huanzhi was wearing a coarse linen shirt. When he heard Mi Heng's provocation, he stood up without any hesitation and spoke directly.

Many people couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Wang Huanzhi jump out.

Wang Huanzhi really looks very unfamiliar. Can he really do it?

"Who is this young man? If he rashly accepts Mi Heng's challenge and fails to compete, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Song Dynasty?"

"I don't care who he is. Mi Heng is so arrogant and domineering. He dares to accept the challenge now. He is very brave. I support him."

People around the platform were whispering.

"I know who he is. He is Wang Huanzhi, who wrote couplets with the King of Zhenguo in Qinghe County and was appointed as the prefect of Huainan County." Someone recognized Wang Huanzhi and spoke immediately.

When Mi Heng saw Wang Huanzhi, who was wearing a coarse linen shirt, he thought that he was just a poor scholar. He looked disdainful and said, "Since we are setting up a competition, we naturally need some stakes. A pair of couplets is worth ten taels of gold. I wonder if you can come up with that?"

"Our Su family will pay for this young master's bet!"

Su Chen was sitting there. When he saw Wang Huanzhi stand up, his eyes sparkled. He didn't know when such a young talent appeared in the Song Dynasty. Although he looked poor, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He was calm and confident. He was really good.

"Thank you, Master Su."

Wang Huanzhi had long heard that Su Chen was a kind-hearted person. If Su Chen had not asked him to do so, he would not have dared to accept Mi Heng's challenge. After all, he could not even take out ten taels of silver, let alone ten taels of gold.

"In that case, please listen to the first couplet!" Mi Heng just wanted to make things difficult for Wang Huanzhi because he was wearing rags. Now that he heard that Su Chen would pay the gold on his behalf, he didn't care.

Mi Heng took a few steps and looked towards the distance of Luofu City, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, please look outside Luofu City. As the saying goes: the waters and mountains are bright and beautiful everywhere."

sizzle...

Many people frowned when they heard Mi Heng's first couplet. It was obvious that the other party's first couplet described the scenery outside Luofu City. The second couplet not only needed to be well-balanced, but also needed to be connected with Luofu City. There were many overlapping words, which made it very difficult.

"This Mi Heng is indeed the new top scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty. He has some skills."

"I wonder if Wang Huanzhi can match up with this since it's just the beginning?"

"It would be embarrassing if we lost in the first round."

Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Huanzhi, and the only sound at the scene was breathing.
