Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask, "What is Miss Su laughing at?"
Su Si shook her head gently: "Nothing, it can be seen that the young master rarely attends this kind of literary gathering, so he seems impatient."
Zhao Hao sighed helplessly: "You are right, I have never participated in any bird literature meeting before."
"Before coming here, I was looking forward to it. I thought the literary gathering would be fun, but I didn't expect it to be so boring."
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gotten into a literary fight with Lu Huairen."
Su Si's beautiful eyes flickered as she asked softly, "Sir, Lv Huairen's talent is well known in the capital, so why do you want to challenge him to a literary duel? If you lose, you have to kneel down in public and kowtow to apologize. Do you really have the confidence to win?"
Zhao Hao sneered, "Miss Su, I'm not bragging. Let alone Lu Huairen, even if all these little Karami were tied together, they would still win."
Su Si's beautiful eyes flashed. She really didn't know where Zhao Hao's strong self-confidence came from.
Zhao Hao smiled softly: "Don't believe it?"
Su Si nodded slowly: "I have asked about you, but I have never heard of your achievements in literature, so it is hard for me to believe it, unless..."
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Unless what?"
Su Si said softly, "Unless the rumors about you are all false."
Zhao Hao laughed out loud.
At this moment, the waiter's voice suddenly sounded at the stairs.
"Prince Kang has arrived, and the Imperial College's chief priest Shang Henshui, the Dean Huang Yue, and Wen Shouchang have arrived!"
The entire third floor fell silent, and everyone stood up and looked towards the staircase.
I saw a waiter leading a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe, an old man with white hair, and two middle-aged men in plain robes walking up.
Wang Mengyu and Zheng Zhiqian came to Zhao Hao.
Wang Mengyu hurriedly whispered, "Brother Hao, this year's Golden Autumn Literary Festival seems to be bigger than in previous years. Even Prince Kang and the chief priest are here."
Zheng Zhiqian also said: "Yes, although there were officials from the court who came in previous years, they were only two deans."
Wang Mengyu nudged Zhao Hao with his shoulder and said, "Brother Hao, if you lose to Lu Huairen this time, you will become famous!"
Zhao Hao pushed the two away angrily: "Get lost, do you need to tell me, wasn't I famous before?"
Wang Mengyu laughed and said, "Famous, of course you are famous. Brother Hao, your title as the Great General Qingtian is well known to everyone in the entire Imperial Capital!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Si and the maid beside her blushed, and the little maid even glared at Wang Mengyu fiercely.
Prince Kang, the Imperial College chief academician and four other adults came up, and Zhao Hao was shocked to find that Lu Huairen was following them.
The four of them walked to the main seat, and King Kang looked at everyone present with a kind look: "Everyone, please take a seat. There's no need to be so polite."
As he said this, he made a gesture to invite the chief priest Shang Henshui.
"Lord Shang, Lord Huang, Lord Wen, please take a seat as well."
"Your Majesty, please go first!"
The four people sat down one after another. King Kang had a smile on his face and his eyes swept over everyone.
"Everyone, today is the annual Golden Autumn Literary Festival. In this season of autumn, we are all gathered here. The literary festival will officially begin later. I hope all the young talents and elegant scholars can show their talents."
"As you can see, the Imperial College's chief academician is here in person. If anyone performs well and catches the eye of the chief academician, he or she might be selected as an exception and enter the Imperial College, and rise to prominence!"
Hearing King Kang say this, everyone's eyes widened with excitement and they all started talking.
If you can enter the Imperial College, you will be a candidate for an official position.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he has risen rapidly.
At this moment, Lu Huairen walked up to King Kang and Lord Shang, the chief priest.
Although King Kang looked like a sturdy middle-aged man and a warrior, his temperament was very elegant.
He smiled and looked at Lu Huairen: "Huairen, do you have something to say?"
King Kang loved literature and making friends with many elegant and talented people.
Lu Huairen was well-known for his talent among the younger generation, so he naturally favored him.
Lu Huairen bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Master Jijiu, and the two Masters of the School, before the literary gathering begins, I have a personal matter to deal with. I would like to use it as a warm-up for the gathering. Is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, King Kang burst into laughter and said, "Huairen, are you talking about the literary duel between you and that kid from the Zhao family?"
This matter had long since spread throughout the capital, and King Kang naturally knew about it a long time ago.
Lu Huairen said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, Zhao Hao and I agreed to have a literary duel at the literary meeting. If he loses, he will kneel down in public and kowtow to Princess Yongning to apologize!"
King Kang nodded and looked at Shang Henshui, the chief priest, and the two deans standing beside him: "What do you three think?"
Shang Henshui said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection."
Wang Siye and Wen Siye also nodded: "Your Majesty, we both have no objection."
It was obvious that King Kang was very interested in the literary duel between Lu Huairen and Zhao Hao, and they certainly had no objection.
In fact, they also want to watch it.
After getting the approval of the prince and the three adults, Lu Huairen respectfully bowed to the four of them, then turned and looked towards Zhao Hao.
"Zhao Hao, the prince and the three adults allowed you and me to compete in literature, so why don't you come out?"
Today, Lu Huairen was wearing a purple robe and his hair was combed neatly.
Quite a bit of bearing.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but grin when he heard that, then he walked over.
He straightened his robe and then respectfully bowed to King Kang, Shang Henshui and the other two.
"Zhao Hao has met the prince, has met the Lord of the Imperial Court, has met Wang Siye, has met Wen Siye!"
Seeing Zhao Hao behaving like this, the four of them were a little surprised.
Of course they knew Zhao Hao's reputation.
He is a useless person who is arrogant, domineering, and bullies others.
How can you learn to be polite?
Prince Kang looked at Zhao Hao for a few times and said with a smile, "Are you the Zhao Hao who is famous in the capital?"
Zhao Hao bowed and said, "Your Highness, I don't deserve to be famous in the capital. Even if I have some fame, it is a bad reputation and not worth mentioning. I have been in the prison for a month and have done some soul-searching. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future."
Of course, there was an important reason why he agreed to fight with Lu Huairen and earn 100 strings of cash from him.
But that's just one of them.
Another reason is that he has to slightly change people's impression of him.
Being considered by everyone as arrogant, domineering, evil and bullying, this character is not very good.
King Kang laughed again and said, "So, your being thrown into the Heavenly Prison by His Majesty and nearly executed in the street is actually a good thing?"
When Zhao Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
My Lord, you are such a good supporting actor.
