Chapter 280 Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu
The thing that Xiao Feng could not tolerate the most was that someone was more pretentious than himself, so he decided to attend the poetry meeting at Prince Jing's mansion to humiliate Fan Xian and earn some World Origin Points.

In front of the gate of Prince Jing's mansion, several scholars were flattered and bowing to a young man. They had not expected that the Prince Jing would personally greet them outside the garden gate.

Seeing the eight-man sedan chair embroidered with the word "Xiao" finally appear at the corner of the street, Prince Jing's eyes suddenly lit up. He impatiently bowed to the scholars who were saluting and walked towards the eight-man sedan chair.

When the scholars saw this, they realized that they were being too sentimental. They remained calm on the surface, but in their hearts they were tapping their feet in embarrassment.

Compared to the embarrassment of those scholars, everyone present was more curious about what kind of distinguished guest it was that required the Prince of Jingjun to personally greet him outside.

Soon the sedan chair landed at the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion. A white jade folding fan appeared from the sedan chair and slowly lifted the heavy door curtain. Then a handsome young man in a black and gold robe walked out of the sedan chair carried by eight people.

Some sharp-eyed people were the first to notice that the robe the young man was wearing was embroidered with a four-clawed dragon pattern that only princes could use. They immediately guessed the identity of the person. It was obvious that this person was the famous King Xiaoyao.

Under the extremely warm hospitality of Prince Jing, Xiao Feng, accompanied by two scholars in white robes, walked slowly into Prince Jing's mansion.

After entering the back garden with corridors and flowing water, Xiao Feng's eyes swept around and finally fell on the opposite side of the lake.

I saw a pavilion opposite the lake. Sitting inside were ladies from prominent families. There were layers of white gauze hanging around them, so only vague outlines of their figures could be seen.

Although the customs in Qing Kingdom are relatively open, there is still a saying that men and women should not touch each other.

In such crowded public places, it is still necessary to separate male and female guests to avoid damaging the reputation of the woman.

After taking his eyes off the white curtains, Xiao Feng shifted his gaze to the male guests.

With the introduction of Prince Jing, Xiao Feng quickly saw several characters that interested him, including the male protagonist Fan Xian and the very smart Guo Baokun.

Fan Xian is a handsome young man, but there is an inexplicable arrogance between his brows, which easily makes Xiao Feng think of a husky.

At this time, Fan Xian was being harassed by Guo Baokun and his men, which made the Prince of Jingjun, who was entertaining Xiao Feng, couldn't help but frown.

The Prince of Jing is the Second Prince's man, while Guo Baokun is the Crown Prince's man. Their positions are inherently different.

Now that he saw Guo Baokun making things difficult for the guests he wanted to attract at the poetry gathering he hosted, Prince Jing couldn't help but feel unhappy.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had to entertain Xiao Feng, Prince Jing would definitely teach Guo Baokun a lesson.

Just when Prince Jing was hesitating whether to send someone to secretly teach Guo Baokun a lesson, a female historian suddenly walked over quickly and handed the poem written by Miss Fan to Prince Jing.

"it is good!"

When the Prince of Jing saw the content of the poem, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed "good" out of the blue.

"Your Majesty, how about you take a look at this poem? Miss Fan is a famous talented woman in Kyoto."

On the white paper, there was written in beautiful small characters: "In August, the lake is calm, the emptiness is mixed with the great clarity. The mist rises from the Yunmeng Lake, and the waves shake the city of Danzhou. I want to cross the river but I have no boat, and I am ashamed of my sage. I sit and watch the fishermen, and I can only envy the fish."

“It’s a great poem indeed!”

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and said: "But the style of this poem doesn't seem to be written by a woman."

Because Xiao Feng did not lower his voice, someone soon heard what he said to Fan Ruoruo on the other side of the lake.

"Your Highness has a keen eye. This poem was indeed not written by me. It was written by my brother when he was ten years old. I copied it out today just to ask you to appreciate it." After hearing Fan Ruoruo's explanation, everyone's face changed slightly and they all turned to look at Fan Xian.

I didn’t expect that Fan Xian could compose such a poem when he was ten years old. Is he really a genius?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng did not rush to expose Fan Xian's true face, but smiled without saying a word, quietly watching him pretending to be cool.

Don’t you know that the higher you climb, the harder it hurts when you fall?

Guo Baokun was the first to come to his senses. He sneered and said, "I wonder what other masterpieces Brother Fan has? After all, this was your masterpiece when you were ten years old. Now that so many years have passed, it's impossible that you haven't written a single poem, right?"

Guo Baokun’s meaning is very clear, that is, this poem was not written by Fan Xian.

Fan Xian shook his head helplessly. Why are there always people rushing to give him a slap in the face?

Under the expectant and skeptical gazes of the crowd, Fan Xian quickly copied out a poem and threw it down, then immediately asked the servant of the Prince's Mansion to take him to the toilet.

"What a poem!"

“This is truly a good poem!”

"Master Fan is truly a man of great talent..."

When everyone saw the poem that Fan Xian threw down, they immediately cheered.

Seeing this, the Prince of Jing couldn't help but recite: "The wind is strong and the sky is high, the monkeys are howling sadly, the sand is clear and the white birds are flying back. The endless fallen leaves are rustling down, and the endless river is rolling in. I am often a guest in the sad autumn thousands of miles away, and I am alone on the stage after a hundred years of illness. Hardships and bitterness have made my hair white, and I have just stopped drinking muddy wine in my poverty."

Soon, the poem copied by Fan Xian was also spread to the women on the other side of the lake, causing another round of exclamations.

Listening to the exclamations coming one after another, Fan Ruoruo's pretty face was full of pride.

The person Fan Ruoruo admired the most was Fan Xian. She knew that although her elder brother appeared to be unruly on the surface, he was actually a man of great talent and knowledge.

"Hahaha……"

Just as everyone was astonished by Fan Xian's poetic talent, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

The person who laughed loudly was the white-robed scholar following Xiao Feng's left.

The scholar in white robe was eight feet tall, with a pair of silver hair on his temples, a long beard that reached down to his chest, prominent cheekbones, a face as handsome as jade, eyes as bright as autumn waves, and a hint of gloom between his brows.

Xiao Feng pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Wenhe, why are you laughing?"

The white-robed scholar in front of him is also one of the robots refined by Xiao Feng. Although he does not look as strong as Dian Wei and the others, his strength is comparable to that of warriors above the ninth rank.

Xiao Feng named him Jia Xu, with the courtesy name "Wenhe", which is the famous poisonous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period.

As for the other scholar in a white robe who was eight feet tall, with a face as white as cream, eyes like stars, a jade crown on his head, and a silk scarf and feather fan, Xiao Feng named him Zhuge Liang, with the courtesy name "Kongming".

Those who came to participate in the poetry meeting today were all literati. It would definitely not be appropriate to bring Dian Wei and others with him, so Xiao Feng specially brought Zhuge Liang and others with him.
