Chapter 21: His Royal Highness

A sudden cold drink instantly suppressed the noise of the Penglai Inn, and a radiant and handsome young man, holding a jade bone white paper fan, came out in a row, followed by a young guard with a grim face who looked like he could fight a dozen at a time.

"Who is making a big fuss here, and you want to set the position of the poet leader of the Queqiao Poetry Club in advance?" the handsome young man asked again with a faint smile on his face.

The others were still in the dark, Han Sanniang and Fan Baotong changed color after seeing this person, Fan Baotong hesitated, and was about to step forward to salute, but was stopped by the young man with a fan waving his hand, Han Sanniang only said the words "people worship" and was interrupted by the young man with a fan shaking his head slightly.

Jiang Zhong was looking at Fan Baotong at the time, so he took in all the changes in his expression when he saw the visitor, turned his eyes to look at the young man with the fan, his mind was racing, and then he guessed the general identity of the young man with the fan - either the royal family or the noble, but if he left this range, he couldn't let the young master of the gourd give birth to that kind of "your father is amazing, you say it first" expression.

Jiang Zhong hugged his fists and said, "I am not ashamed to say anything, I was originally making a bet with Second Young Master Fan, so I feel sorry not to disturb Gongzi Yaxing." ”

The young man with the fan shook his hand, closed the fan with a "brush", and said, "Since you dare to say this in public, I think you have some real talent." ”

Jiang Zhongxin said: "It's really a wave of unsettled waves. He shook his head and smiled silently.

The young man with the fan said: "I am not embarrassed by you, come up with a common topic, let you walk seven steps, and write a poem on the topic of anything in this room." ”

"Seven steps into a poem!" someone whispered.

Jiang Zhong said simply: "Childe said that he laughed, he can't do it in the future." ”

The face of the fan-holding boy sank, and said, "Laughing, where do you think I seem to be joking?"

However, this kind of behavior really can't frighten Jiang Zhong, after all, when he was in King Jiang's palace, even the strongest prince of the most powerful country in this continent was common, how could he be frightened by the kings and nobles of a small country.

Jiang Zhong was still nervous, and said, "Childe, why bother with it?"

The young man with the fan gave Han Sanniang a look, Han Sanniang bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "Distinguished guests, there is something in the store today, and it is necessary to close the store in advance. In addition, all customers who have eaten in the restaurant today will receive 10% of their money free as a token of apology. ”

Han Sanniang runs the Penglai Inn, has always been kind to people, pays attention to the way of harmony and wealth, and there is a mysterious and terrible swordsman behind it, so whether it is an acquaintance or a newcomer, they all give some face, at this time, seeing that Sanniang gave an eviction order, although he was curious about the result of the competition between the two young people, he still moved out of the inn step by step.

After all the irrelevant guests went out, Han Sanniang waved Xiao Er to close the door of the store, and then saluted the young man with a fan: "The folk girl Han Sanniang greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Fan Baotong also reluctantly said: "Fan Mansion Fan Baotong pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The young man with the fan is Liang Chengen, the son of Prince Liang Guozhong.

Liang Chengen ignored Fan Han and the others, turned his head to look at Jiang Zhong, Jiang Zhong arched his hand and said, "Caomin Chen Renzhong has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Liang Chengen opened the fan again, shook it gently, and said, "It's all exempt." ”

Han Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince is coming, Sanniang is guilty of missing the welcome......

Liang Chengen shook his head, still looking at Jiang Zhong, and said, "Now let you compose poems, are you willing?"

Jiang Zhong was puzzled: "His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, I really have no energy to compose poetry today, and I don't mean to offend, I beg your Highness for your understanding." ”

Han Sanniang played a round and said: "His Royal Highness, Xiao Chen Gongzi went to the capital today, traveled all the way, and returned to the old man in the Fan Mansion for a long time, I really don't have the energy to compose poems, if I force it, the poems are not beautiful, but it abruptly His Highness, why don't you change the day?"

Han Sanniang's inadvertent move out of the old lady Fan seemed to attract Liang Chengen's attention, and asked, "Have you already met the old lady of the Fan family?"

Jiang Zhong replied "yes".

Liang Chengen pondered for a moment and said: "Since you don't have such an urgent talent, why do you say crazy words, don't you know that this year's Queqiao Poetry Club is different from previous years?"

"The grass people said in vain, don't blame Your Highness, I don't know how this year's Queqiao Poetry Meeting is different from previous years, and please let Your Highness know. Jiang Zhong tried to change the topic without leaving a trace.

Liang Chengen walked lightly to the stool and sat down, Han Sanniang waved his hand and asked the guy to serve tea, Liang Chengen said: "In a few days, Prince Chen will come to my Liang Kingdom to propose, if it is not surprising, he will lead the accompanying group of talented people to participate in the Queqiao Poetry Meeting, and compete with my Liang Guocai." As he spoke, he looked sideways at Jiang Zhong and nodded with the fan in his hand: "Therefore, if you want to win Shikui, you must not only overshadow the talents of the entire Liang Kingdom, but also compare Chen Guo." ”

Jiang Zhong was ashamed and said: "The grass people really don't know. ”

Liang Chengen shook his head and smiled: "The above is not the most important, if you want to win the Queqiao Poetry Club, you have to win the crown prince Chen Jiexing." ”

Fan Baotong, who had been silent, suddenly continued: "It is said that the prince of Chen Guo has not yet awakened. ”

Liang Chengen said: "Fan Er doesn't know a little, Prince Chen is only eight years old, and his courage has already been secretly formed, just waiting for the right time to release the brilliance, and he can be as blockbuster as Prince Jiang Guoyutang." ”

Han Sanniang said: "Isn't the most appropriate time to be a scientific expedition?"

"It could also be the Tanabata Festival of the next month. Liang Chengen smiled meaninglessly and said, "Now the entire continent is waiting for this prince to break through, it can really be said that it will affect the whole body." ”

His Royal Highness the Prince had something to say, but Han Sanniang was silent.

There was a moment of silence.

Liang Chengen got up slowly, glanced at Jiang Zhong first, then looked at Fan Baotong, smiled slightly, and said: "Therefore, Second Young Master Fan, if you Fan Mansion want to make a name for yourself at the Queqiao Poetry Meeting, and then make contributions to my Liang, you must be well prepared." After speaking, he turned around and walked away, and as soon as he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "Shicai seems to hear what you are betting, I don't know if it can be counted as a share of this world?"

Jiang Zhong smiled bitterly and didn't answer, Fan Baotong was just about to answer, Liang Chengen interrupted: "That's it, no matter what you bet on, this year's Qixi Festival, as long as someone in the Fan Mansion can dominate the poetry meeting, I will respectfully call him 'sir', and present the folding fan in my hand." ”

"It's a deal. "Fan Bao channel.

Liang Chengen couldn't help but smile and said, "A word is a certainty." "Turn around and go out the door.

After Liang Chengen left, Fan Baotong snorted coldly and said to Jiang Zhong: "If you can really defeat that Prince Chen, I am willing to worship you as a lifelong teacher." ”

Jiang Zhong recognized his appearance, and if he understood, he nodded and said, "Leave it to me." Then he said to Han Sanniang: "Shopkeeper Han, I'm causing you trouble." ”

Han Sanniang shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with you, Prince Zhong's Mansion and Fan's Mansion have never been on good terms, but they can't hide." ”

"Oh, I see. ”
