Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

They sat down, and in less than a cup of tea, the debate began.

Furun looked at the teahouse stage and saw Wu Yong had already entered.

After his speech, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

"Xingchen, he's amazing, isn't he? Today is already his fifth match defending the title."

Wen Xingchen naturally saw it, but she did not look at the people on the ring. Instead, she focused on looking downstairs. Soon, she saw a scholar-like man wearing a dark gray robe. He stood straight, looking at the performers on the ring with satisfaction.

Glad?

It seems that he has not yet fully understood the story of the farmer and the snake.

Furun did not get a reply from Xingchen, so he continued:

"For five consecutive days, the debate topics were different every day, and he won every one of them. Isn't that amazing?"

Wen Xingchen nodded this time and said:

"He is indeed amazing. You know, he is facing knowledgeable people who are well-read." And he can defeat others just by looking at one person.

If you are not capable, how can you become an official in the court? You have to value yourself.

"This debate platform at the Guildhall is well-organized. I think it's better than storytelling. The debate has unique perspectives and is refreshing."

As soon as Wen Xingchen finished speaking, they heard a puff of laughter. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Xiao Sheng and Xi Ling'er.

And the one who was joking was Xiling'er.

"Princess Xingchen, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Wen Xingchen's expression did not change.

Although her reputation is not good now, she has not been idle since she became the empress dowager. She has been studying and handling state affairs.

I argue with people every day, and the chances of winning are quite high.

What are they debating today? If the water is too clear, there will be no fish; if the man is too careful, there will be no followers.

Such a profound topic requires even the most learned people to ponder carefully for days before they can come to a conclusion.

Princess? Everyone knows she's a fool.

Xiling'er originally thought that she really didn't like Xiao Sheng, but it turned out that there was another way.

It's a pity that she chose this path, which is the most difficult one.

"Your humble servant greets the princess, the princess, and His Royal Highness the King of Wu."

Furun looked down on Miss Xi because she had once criticized the princess's behavior.

Humph, she still looks down on her.

"Miss Xi, who gave you the courage to attack the princess?"

Uncle Xiao also said, "Miss Xi, our cousin is not good at this. She is good at riding and has her own specializations. You are so knowledgeable and should understand the meaning of this."

Miss Xi said, "Princess Wu Wang, please don't blame me. I was just joking. This is your first time here. If you don't understand something, you can ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin or me. I can help you solve your doubts."

Xiling'er knew the plan of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, so she intended to ease the relationship between the princess and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

Xiling'er gave King Jin a look, and King Jin understood.

"Xingchen, it's okay if you don't know how to do it. I'll tell you."

Wen Xingchen smiled, opening and closing the folding fan in his hand, and said softly, "Who said I can't do it?"

"You can? Xingchen, don't brag. I'm your cousin and I won't laugh at you."

Wen Xingchen gently opened the folding fan and fanned himself casually.

"To be honest, the princess has signed up today."

"..."

His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Xi Ling'er exchanged a glance, and could see from each other's eyes that the other was "obsessing over face".

"Xingchen, don't mess around. Your reputation is already bad, don't let it get worse. Fourth brother is right, everyone has their own specialties. No one will laugh at you if you don't do it."

Wen Xingchen frowned slightly.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Jin no longer believes me."

"..." Is this something you believe or not? Don't you know your own worth? If you embarrass yourself on stage, we who are with you will also be embarrassed.

The King of Jin wanted her to give up, so he said:

"Xingchen, I'm afraid you don't even know the origin of today's question?"

Wen Xingchen was indifferent, then glanced at the audience.

King Jin looked at Xiao Bo.

"Fourth brother, take Xingchen back first and don't make any trouble. The great scholar Liang Hong and a group of teachers from Songshan Academy will be here to watch today. Don't let the princess do anything reckless."

Xiao Bo looked at the two of them and thought to himself: You really think highly of me, who am I? Can I persuade the princess?

He simply ignored the words of the King of Jin and said to the princess, "Cousin, if you want to play, then play. If you lose the game later, your brother will ask you to go horseback riding. I don't mind the embarrassment."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

The cutest one is still Xiao Bo.

Wen Xingchen said: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

Xiao Bo saw that she was dressed in men's clothes today. Even if it was embarrassing, no one would think she was a princess.

After all, the princess is a fool and would not participate in such a profound debate.

Xiao Bo thought of this and nodded frantically.

Wen Xingchen turned to look at His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and said, "Your Highness, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish; if the man is too strict, there will be no followers. This is from the 65th chapter of the "Da Dai Li Ji" where Zi Zhang asked about entering the government. Therefore, a gentleman who governs the people must not be ignorant of their nature..."

Wen Xingchen said it word by word. If it was someone else, King Jin might not be so surprised, but Wen Xingchen?

She is a complete idiot. Apart from knowing a few words, she has no knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics.

She was so thoughtful that she could even recite it?

But a debate competition does not require rote memorization, it requires eloquence and accumulated knowledge.

Students have studied hard for decades to achieve what they have today, but she just memorized a passage.

Before His Royal Highness Prince Jin could say anything, Uncle Xiao said excitedly, "Cousin, I believe you. Go ahead."

Xiao Sheng glared at Xiao Bo, thinking that he was aiding and abetting the evil.

Xiling'er was a little confused about what Xiao Bo meant. Was he an enemy of Wen Xingchen?

I really want to see her make a fool of herself.

However, Wen Xingchen had already gone down.

After Wen Xingchen left, King Jin had a fit.

"Uncle Xiao, you knew Xiao Xingchen wasn't good at this, yet you still encouraged her to participate in the competition. What was your intention?"

Xiao Bo didn't take Xiao Sheng's question to heart, but looked at the window facing the street and said, "Sister Furun, let's go quickly."

"..."

Furun was speechless. He knew that Uncle Xiao would cause trouble.

"What are you planning?"

"Big sister, you may not know that there are also people from the Chen family who came to listen to the debate today."

Chen family? Chen Jingye is currently a teacher at Songshan College, selecting students for the college.

"My cousin is making trouble. If the Chen family knew about this, what do you think would happen, brother?"

The Chen family would naturally be disgusted, and if the commotion got any worse, they might even cancel the engagement.

When the King of Jin thought of this, he stopped arguing and silently watched the debate below.

Wen Xingchen has already gone on stage to challenge Wu Yong.

He quotes from classics as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Guo Jia, a subordinate of Cao Cao, was a capable man, but his behavior was not disciplined and he was impeached many times. However, he remained undeterred and helped Cao Cao defeat Lü Bu, conquer Hebei, destroy the Wuhuan, and conquer Liaodong. He achieved great success."
