Chapter Twenty-Five: Comparing the Betrothal Contract

"Competition? Of course, you can, so you can tell me how to compete, and what is the lottery? ”

In this Zhou Wu Dynasty, literati also often competed with each other.

Every time the two sides compete, the color will be set to increase the fun of the competition.

"Just try the poems, and these literati present, if you lose, then I will break the marriage contract with you."

"You must say yes, and you must not haunt me again."

Shang Qingxue said hatefully.

This engagement had been uncomfortable for her for a long time, like a shackle that had been binding her.

In any case, she can't bear it anymore now, and she can't wait to draw a line with Zhou Yang and cut off the relationship.

"Okay, I promise you, if you want to compete, then this palace will also accompany you to the end."

"But what if I win?"

Zhou Yang didn't think about it, so he agreed directly, and then like Shang Qingyu, he wanted to win the lottery by himself.

As soon as these words came out, these talented literati present all laughed for a while.

When Shang Qingxue proposed to compete just now, they thought that Zhou Yang would not agree.

didn't expect Zhou Yang to think about it, so he responded directly, and asked what the lottery would be after he won.

It's just too much to overpower.

"Your Highness the Seventh is probably crazy, now that all the top talents in the capital are gathered here, I am afraid it is a fool's dream to win over us."

"Alas, this is what you said is not right, the Seventh Prince may not have woken up yet, and is immersed in his own sweet dreams."

"Why do you wake up the Seventh Prince, so that he can have a good dream of his own, wouldn't it be more comfortable?"

"What are you dreaming about, do you really think that you can be lawless if you are a prince? Today, we must let him see and understand, what is the sky and the earth is thick. ”

"It's just a fool who wants to win over our talents?"

The literati next to him were all talking there.

There were ridicule, reprimand, and disdain, anyway, no one believed that Zhou Yang would win this competition.

However, Zhou Yang was not affected by these voices, and still looked straight at Shang Qingxue in front of him, waiting for her to reply to him.

Shang Qingxue looked at Zhou Yang in front of her with such confidence, and suddenly she was in a trance.

She did meet Zhou Yang two years ago, and Zhou Yang at that time was really a fool, a mentally handicapped child.

But after seeing Zhou Yang twice in a row recently, it always made her feel strange.

Is Zhou Yang in front of him really a fool?

In that moment's trance, she was awakened by the ridicule around her.

Biting her lip, Shang Qingxue spoke.

"If you win, the marriage contract between us is up to you, and I will marry you willingly!"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Gongzi next to him suddenly became nervous.

But then a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

If Zhou Yang can win this poetry meeting, then wouldn't it be that the faces of the people in the world will be trampled on the ground, which is absolutely impossible.

It can be said that in the current situation, Zhou Yang is bound to lose.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me!

"Since His Royal Highness the Seventh has such a good xing, then let me have a good competition with His Royal Highness!"

Zheng Gongzi couldn't wait to stand up.

In front of this Zhou Yang, he has a full grasp of victory.

As long as Zhou Yang wins, it will be of great benefit to himself, not only can he show his face in front of Shang Qingxue and the Grand Master.

And he can also clear the obstacles for his karma with Shang Qingxue, maybe the two parties can enter into a marriage contract today.

Thinking about the benefits after winning, Zheng Gongzi couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This Zhou Yang really has a problem with his brain, and he dares to agree to test poetry and songs.

"Whatever, no matter which of you comes out to compete, you can do it, and anyone from this palace will not refuse."

Zhou Yang sat there and waved his hand impatiently, as if he could put none of these people present in his eyes.

Seeing the situation in front of them, Shang Taishi and Zheng Tianxiang did not do anything to stop them.

The two looked at each other, and they were both gloating.

They had already seen that this stupid Seventh Prince was not pleasing to their eyes, and taking advantage of this time to dissolve the marriage contract was something that both families were willing to see.

And for Shang Taishi, if the Seventh Prince dissolves the marriage contract because he lost the competition, no one has anything to say, so there is no need for him to go to Emperor Deyuan's side to talk anymore.

Now everyone has their own careful thoughts, but everyone's goal is to deal with Zhou Yang in front of them.

Zheng Gongzi glanced at Shang Qingxue, nodded slightly, and signaled Shang Qingxue to rest assured, he would definitely be able to cancel the marriage contract for her.

received Shang Qingxue's eye response, and Zheng Gongzi was even more energetic.

He cleared his throat and took two steps forward.

glanced at Zhou Yang with disdain.

"Seven princes, let's win two out of three games, I'll come up with the question, you come to make poems, how about it?"

Zhou Yang didn't speak, just waved his hand there, and the expression on his face expressed a meaning.

Don't grind around there, let's get started!

Seeing Zhou Yang's attitude, Zheng Gongzi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Today, we must let Zhou Yang make a good fool of himself and humiliate him.

"Listen, the first question I came up with is to make a quatrain with bamboo as the theme, if the Seven Princes can live in the time of a pillar of incense and make this poem, even if the Seven Princes win!"

The literati of the Zhou Wu Dynasty were very fond of bamboo, so they often wrote poems with bamboo as the theme.

In the eyes of others, this question is already extremely simple.

However, in the eyes of Zheng Gongzi, for Zhou Yang, this question may be very difficult.

Not to mention asking Zhou Yang to compose poems, even if he is asked to recite a poem with the theme of bamboo, it is estimated that he will not be able to memorize it.

The topic has come out, and everyone's eyes are focused on Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang also stood up and pretended to pace back and forth for two steps.

However, he still didn't speak for a long time, just looked at the incense that had been burning with green smoke.

"It seems that the Seventh Prince has nothing in his stomach."

"Your Highness the Seventh, why don't you admit defeat directly! There's no need to waste everyone's time here. ”

"It's just, it's not okay to still hold on here, it's just a swollen face and a fat man."

The man next to him began to sneer again.

Zhou Yang turned a deaf ear to these words, seeing that the incense was about to burn out.

Zheng Gongzi also showed a smile on his face, Zhou Yang was going to lose the first game this week.

Just when the incense was about to burn out, Zhou Yang suddenly opened his mouth and recited aloud.
