Chapter 192 This kid has an intention

The others followed Li Qi and said sarcastically, "It's just for fun. Even if what you wrote is shit, we won't laugh at you."

"Maybe we can give you some pointers."

"Having us as your teachers will make you proud when you tell others about it in the future!"

As the saying goes, even a clay man can get angry. These second-generations kept making fun of him, which finally made Ye Xuan angry.

Therefore, no one expected that Ye Xuan would actually sneer and say: "You want to compete in poetry, right? Since everyone is so interested, I will reluctantly play with you."

Everyone didn't expect that Ye Xuan, a mere military man, would actually agree to compose a poem. They were all stunned at the same time.

However, the next moment, everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, then I'd like to see your masterpiece!" Li Qi also laughed.

However, he did not notice that when he laughed heartily, Zhu Huan's eyes were full of disgust and contempt when he looked at him.

As if they had agreed to slap Ye Xuan in the face, everyone quickly recited their own poems.

Because Zhu Huan's joining was completely unexpected, Ye Xuan did not doubt the possibility that they had found a ghostwriter in advance.

And although they are all second-generation, they have received a good education since childhood. Li Qi's statement that he has been well-read since childhood is not an exaggeration.

Although there are no stunning works, they are pretty decent, without any of the one, two, three or four pieces of doggerel.

When everyone recited their poems confidently and looked at Zhu Huan expectantly, hoping to get praise from the eldest princess, they were shocked to find that Zhu Huan seemed to have no reaction to their carefully conceived poems. Instead, he just looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.

Among these people there were some who were known to be talented. Seeing Zhu Huan look down on them but look expectantly at Ye Xuan, they immediately became indignant.

They were all waiting for Ye Xuan to recite the poem so that they could laugh at him.

Finally, it was the "highly anticipated" segment, and it was the last one's turn - Ye Xuan.

"Ye Qianhu, come on!"

"Let me see your talent!"

However, at this time, Ye Xuan did not think about reciting the poem. Instead, he looked at everyone and said with an ambiguous smile: "I just thought about it and I feel that reciting poems like this is a bit boring. How about we add some extra ingredients?"

Everyone thought that Ye Xuan was just backing out, but they didn't expect that he actually wanted to raise the stakes, and they all burst into laughter.

"It's not that I look down on you, but which family here is not above the second rank? What do you want to bet with us?"

"You should just keep your salary. Don't say we don't like you. Even if we did, we wouldn't want you to starve! It's such a sin!"

Ye Xuan said calmly: "In terms of financial resources, I am poor, so of course I cannot compare to the wealth and power of you all."

After hearing these words, everyone's faces turned grim.

As everyone knows, Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials the most. Just now, they were too proud of themselves and were accidentally caught by Ye Xuan, who then ridiculed their elders for being corrupt officials.

Moreover, it happened in front of the eldest princess. If Zhu Huan believed it and went back to tell Old Zhu, they would be in big trouble.

He immediately became angry and asked, "If you're not betting on money, then what are you betting on?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. I really hate you. If you think my poems are good, you should leave me alone next time you see me. Similarly, if you think your poems are better than mine, I will also disappear next time I see you!"

Ye Xuan's blunt expression of his annoyance to everyone immediately made everyone feel extremely humiliated. They were all descendants of the rich and powerful, and everyone would try to curry favor with them.

However, Ye Xuan expressed his disgust bluntly, looking at them as if he was looking at a pile of objects. How could they not be annoyed!
And what Ye Xuan meant was that confidence can suppress everyone.

Being despised by a warrior is humiliating even for some truly uneducated people.

Li Qi was even more angry and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

"Please show us your masterpiece!"

Ye Xuan cleared his throat and began to recite:
"The moon existed before Li Bai, but only Li Bai's poems can describe it.

Now that Li Bai has passed away, how full and waning is the moon in the blue sky?
Today people still sing Li Bai's poems, and the bright moon is still as bright as when Li Bai was alive.

I learn from Li Bai to know the bright moon, Bai and the bright moon can know!
Li Bai was good at poetry and drinking, I can drink a hundred cups and write a thousand poems.

Although I am not as talented as Li Bai, I expect Yingyue will not think I am ugly.

I will not board the emperor's ship, and I will not sleep in Chang'an.

A thatched cottage outside Gusu City, with thousands of peach trees and a full moon in the sky. "

As the last word was uttered, silence fell at the foot of Qixia Mountain.

Only Zhu Huan kept whispering: "Ten thousand peach trees are in bloom, the sky is full of moon, the sky is full of moon..."

After a long while, someone said in disbelief: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How could a common man like you write such a heroic and free-spirited poem? You must have planned this in advance and hired a ghostwriter, right?"

However, this time, Ye Xuan didn't need to explain. Zhu Huan said with disdain, "Captain Ye was accompanying me. It was a complete coincidence that I met you. How could it be premeditated? This is simply nonsense!"

"This..." The man was suddenly speechless.

However, Li Qi on the side suddenly thought of something, pointed at Ye Xuan and shouted: "No, it's impossible for a warrior like him to write such a good poem. He must have heard from somewhere that Your Highness likes poetry, so he hired a ghostwriter in advance to please Your Highness!"

Zhu Huan frowned. He originally thought that Li Qi was a good person, but why did he suddenly become so unreasonable?

She no longer gave him face and directly refuted him, "Nonsense, Ye Xuan is a Jinyiwei, why should he try to please me? I can't promote him!"

However, Li Qi was probably so angry that he lost his mind and started to speak without thinking, "I've noticed that the way this guy looks at you is not right. I guess he must be so bold and has some intentions towards you, so he wants to please you!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked as if they had suddenly realized something, and they all spoke in agreement.

"Your Highness, look at this boy. He looks at you with lustful eyes."

"Just now I saw this traitor's two dog eyes drifting towards your chest!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, you are extremely beautiful and noble. This boy must be crazy about becoming a consort!"

Everyone was talking at once, and they thought that this would make Zhu Huan suspicious of Ye Xuan. After all, everyone had read the story of three people making a tiger.

But slowly, some people began to notice something was wrong.

Zhu Huan was not angry at all. Why was his face getting redder and redder?
