"Today, a Jinshi from Nanyou is here, and I hope to learn a few things from him."
The Seventh Prince's tone of voice was actually extremely cold, and his words were particularly insincere.
But Emperor Jingxi couldn't help but use a filter and felt that his son was several times better than his cousin Tangxi Lu.
With the Seventh Prince's initiative to request permission, Emperor Jingxi felt relieved and said with a smile, "What do you think, Prince Chen?"
"Very good."
Tang Xilu looked at the Seventh Prince without any fluctuation in his heart. When he pushed his cousin forward, he had expected that Da Xia would let the Seventh Prince, who was famous for his photographic memory, fight.
He also wanted to see whether the genius with photographic memory was more powerful or the genius who was the incarnation of Wenquxing was more powerful.
The Seventh Prince and the young man from Nanyou came to the center of the hall, the place that attracted everyone's attention.
After noticing his brother's gaze, the Seventh Prince smiled faintly in that direction, then turned around with a cold expression again.
Tangxi Lu's cousin: ...
He said angrily: "Can you be more serious? I won't give in to you just because you are good-looking."
The Seventh Prince: "Oh, thank you for the compliment."
Cousin Tang Xilu frowned: "I'm not praising you."
The Seventh Prince: "Oh!"
Cousin Tangxi Lu was speechless and could only say dryly, "Let the competition start quickly."
The two started by memorizing, then made couplets, wrote poems, and composed essays. No matter which one they competed in, the Seventh Prince could definitely beat his cousin Tang Xilu.
Finally, the distraught boy walked dejectedly to Tang Xilu and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I lost."
"It's okay. You tried your best."
Tang Xilu had anticipated this result. In fact, this competition was just to test whether the seventh prince's talent lived up to his reputation.
The result of the test was that the Seventh Prince's reputation was indeed not in vain.
But his character is too cold and arrogant, and he is also a little insolent. If he ascends the throne as emperor, he will most likely regard Nanyou as a thorn in his side.
He also has a grandfather who is a master of military strategy. If he wants to use military force against Nanyou, will his grandfather not support him?
Nanyou may seem to be thriving and prosperous on the surface, but in reality, there is a serious internal conflict.
The jackals, tigers and leopards are biting the golden dragon's tail tightly. Once the golden dragon relaxes, Nanyou will fall into chaos again, giving other countries an opportunity to take advantage.
Otherwise, my brother would not have sent him to Daxia in such a hurry.
Who would have thought that being a hostage in a foreign country has become a way to save your life.
Tang Xilu restrained the complex light flashing in his eyes, and when he looked up again, his face was calm.
"It was worthwhile for Lu to see the Seventh Prince today."
"I don't know if the Seventh Prince is engaged yet. Lu has a younger sister who is sixteen years old this year. She is gentle and virtuous, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is a perfect match for the Seventh Prince."
