Under the flickering candlelight, Chu Wanyu's face was filled with excitement.

Those bright eyes looked straight at the other man.

He had never seen such excitement before.

Those two eyes were surprisingly bright, even more excited than when they got rich.

Who is this man in front of me? Is it just because of the poem I just read?

Damn it, it turns out that scholars in the world are the best at misleading people.

Xiao Lijing frowned, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He grabbed Chu Wanyu's hand, but the little woman stared at him straight in the eyes and did not look away.

So infuriating.

Xiao Lijing put his arm around her waist and leaned close to her ear, "Very talented?"

"Of course, Your Highness, don't overthink it. I simply admire this man's talent. Listen to how well Huanghelou speaks. It's truly astonishing!"

Chu Wanyu was extremely excited, her attention all on that person, and she did not notice anything unusual about Xiao Lijing.

The banquet continued, and the man returned to his seat after reciting the poem.

At this moment, the sound of stringed instruments rang out, and countless women in light gauze slowly entered the venue and began to dance gracefully.

Chu Wanyu looked at the man not far away, took advantage of the others not paying attention and walked over, lowering her voice, "The situation may change, but the fate remains the same. Do you know this, sir?"

The man glanced at Chu Wanyu indifferently and shook his head.

Chu Wanyu continued to ask unwillingly, "Do you know about the Imperial Jade Wine?"

"Princess, men and women should not touch each other!"

The man still had that icy face and looked lifeless.

Chu Wanyu was furious. He was actually being disdained. He turned his eyes and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, this man is extremely talented and admirable. How about writing another poem to liven up the atmosphere for everyone?"

"Great, great! It is our honor to meet such a great man like you in this life. I hope you will write another poem for me!"

The one who spoke was the Grand Tutor.

He spent his whole life teaching and educating people, and he admired talented people the most.

As soon as the man finished the work, he was filled with admiration.

The emperor pondered for a moment before he could speak.

The man stepped forward first. "Only one poem can be written on a commemorative day, and things should be done according to one's mood. Your Great Xia cultural background is too low, and you don't understand that only the right time, place, and people are necessary to create a masterpiece. Forget it, Great Xia's talent is dwindling, and no one can match me. Even if I say it, they won't understand!"

"How arrogant! Daxia is a country of etiquette. Seeing you here is just respect, but you are so rude. You are not worthy of being a human being. Even if you are talented, you are of course a barbarian with no manners!"

"I think our great country is a country of etiquette. I won't bother with you. You are talking nonsense. If you dare to speak rudely again, blame us for being rude!"

The country was in quilt form, and everyone stood up and scolded them.

The man was not afraid at all and retorted bluntly, "If you don't agree, come and fight me. I'm waiting here. If you can't do it, shut up! You have no guts and yet you keep talking. Your voice is so loud that it's killing me!"

Oh my god, that's such an arrogant thing to say.

It was as if everyone in the world was drunk and he was the only one sober.

What’s more, there is no second in martial arts and no first in literature.

Even if Li Bai were alive, we would not dare to say that he was the most talented.

Where does the face of the person in front of me come from?

Chu Wanyu was complaining in her heart, but was about to speak.

The emperor placed the wine glass heavily on the table, and his eyes swept over the faces of the civil and military officials who were determined to show their loyalty.

As a king, he knew the talents of his officials.

I wanted to refute it, but...

The desire is there but the strength is not enough.

Xiao Lijing looked up indifferently, his hand holding the wine glass slowly tightened, and his knuckles turned white.

He glanced at the civil and military officials and sighed.

This is the tragedy of the decline of talent.

I had no choice but to allow myself to be humiliated.

but……

He grabbed Chu Wanyu's hand with an ugly look on his face, "Don't look for other men!"

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

Chu Wanyu noticed that he was a little weird, but didn't think much about it and quickly acted coquettishly.

Women who act coquettishly have the best life.

She has already figured out Xiao Lijing's temper during this period of time.

Appears to be arrogant, but actually kind-hearted.

Just act a little coquettishly and you will get her.

The two of them openly show their affection.

The prince of the island nation nearby laughed wildly, "Daxia is a bunch of rabble, and no one dares to come out and fight. How shameful!"

Ming Wan'er sat aside, looking at the ugly faces of Taihou and others, tugged at his sleeve and shook her head slightly.

The prince of the island kingdom just glanced at her and ignored her provocative face.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

Chu Wanyu was eager to try, but when she thought of the status of Prince Zhan's Mansion in the capital, all her thoughts and attention began to turn to everyone else.

Hanlin Academy, Grand Tutor...

They were all so angry that their faces turned blue, but...

But he didn't have the strength to stand up.

The princes and princesses all had red faces and looked humiliated, but they were only angry for a moment.

Hey!

What has the emperor been doing these years?

A room full of good-for-nothings.

The enemy has come to our doorstep, but we dare not fight back.

Coincidentally, the music stopped and all the dancers left.

In the hall, there was silence, you could hear a pin drop, the atmosphere was eerie, and everyone had different expressions. The only thing in common was that no one took the initiative to stand up.
