The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18: Wang He Provoked]

“The girl’s piano skills are superb, even more intoxicating than the wine in this cup. Let us admire her!”

“Yes, His Royal Highness King Jing’s people are very skilled. In comparison, what are those things I heard before? They are as ugly as the chirping of chickens, ducks and birds!”

“It is indeed a peerless piano. I am so fascinated by it that I don’t know what words to use to describe my praise!”

Everyone started shouting, praising the woman’s superb skills, but they still did not forget to praise King Jing.

Sure enough, no one was unwilling to hear the words of praise. Although King Jing still had a smiling face, he could also see that he was a little more happy.

After everyone praised, some people had already written poems and gave them to the children who had been waiting beside them.

Those poems were beautiful when they were read out, but it was like there was only a shell without a soul, and people could not hear the surprise.

More importantly, those poems only described the sound of the piano and the beauty, and did not mention anything else.

“It’s just a facade.” Lin Tian commented in a low voice.

But he didn’t plan to join in the fun. People around him picked up their pens and started writing poems, but he was the only one sitting there without starting.

Wang He didn’t hear Lin Tian’s muttering, but seeing that he didn’t write anything, he thought he couldn’t write.

But think about it, he was a prodigal son who didn’t have the heart to write. It was probably just luck that he won Zhu Zhengli in Tianxiang Pavilion last time.

“Why don’t you write, Master Lin? Can’t you write?” Wang He teased Lin Tian while handing his own poem to the boy to put away.

But anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was definitely trying to keep Lin Tian from coming to the stage.

Fortunately, Lin Tian just glanced at him and didn’t say anything, as if he didn’t hear what he said, which made Wang He blush and couldn’t continue to speak.

“Anything else? Is there anyone who hasn’t submitted a poem yet?” The boy above shouted.

There was already a stack of poems in front of King Jing’s wine table. Seeing that everyone had put away their pens and ink, in order to prevent omissions, he could only urge them again.

“And this!”

As soon as the little boy finished speaking, Qin Wu raised a piece of paper to indicate that he had more.

Of course, he didn’t write poems. Just looking at his name, you can tell that he is devoted to martial arts and is obsessed with martial arts. He has no interest in the elegant mood of literacy and poetry.

The paper in Qin Wu’s hand belongs to Qin Wangshu.

Qin Wangshu is obsessed with the sound of the piano, and the loud discussion just now didn’t disturb her at all.

It was not until everyone started to hand in their poems that she realized it belatedly and started to write poems, so she is much slower now.

But fortunately, she caught up. After her poems were sent to King Jing’s desk, the little boy asked loudly several times, and only started to read poems after confirming that there were no more.

There were constant cheers along the way, but no one chose the best poem.

“The last letter, written by Miss Qin: Fairy music falls from the sky, making people drunk and sleepy, listening carefully, I don’t know where it is, a pearl curtain is ten feet long.”

“Wow——” “

I have heard of Miss Qin’s reputation as a talented woman for a long time. Today, I see that she is indeed worthy of her reputation. We admire her very much!” “It’s a

pity that Miss Qin is a girl and can’t take the imperial examination. Otherwise, with Miss Qin’s ability, she would have no worries about not having a good reputation !

” “What Miss Qin did was really wonderful. She summarized the sound of the piano vividly. We are really willing to admit her!”

“She is worthy of being the number one talented woman. The Qin family is really blessed!”

“Miss Qin…”

Amid the praises of the crowd, Qin Wangshu lowered his head a little embarrassedly and blushed, but still secretly glanced at Lin Tian.

He wanted to see what his reaction was.

But he didn’t expect that this glance happened to meet Lin Tian’s approving eyes.

This made her even more embarrassed, and she shyly returned the compliments to the people one by one.

And Qin Wu was even more proud, as if these compliments were all about him, and politely bowed to everyone.

In this way, the best poem has been selected. Although some people are still unwilling to accept it, they have to admit that Qin Wangshu’s poem is indeed good.

“In this case…”

The winner has been determined, and King Jing is not a hesitant person. He decided to announce the winner immediately.

“Wait!”

But before he finished speaking, Wang He stood up and interrupted King Jing directly.

“Your Highness, please forgive me. Young Master Lin of the Lin family wrote a wonderful poem a few days ago! It can be said that he speaks fluently. Why don’t you listen to Young Master Lin’s excellent work?” Wang He said.

After speaking, he looked at Lin Tian meaningfully, as if waiting for Lin Tian’s response.

He did it on purpose to make Lin Tian look bad.

Although Lin Tian defeated Zhu Zhengli that day, he still didn’t want to believe that such a waste suddenly became talented.

How could Lin Tian not know that Wang He wanted to make him look bad, but today was destined to disappoint Wang He, and he would never let him have his wish in the future.

“Mr. Wang, thank you for your compliment! Lin’s knowledge is really not up to par, so I won’t bring it up to make fun of it.” Lin Tian stood up and said very humbly.

When everyone heard Wang He’s words, they thought they had heard something wrong, until they saw Lin Tian stand up and reply, then they understood what was going on.

It was nothing more than Wang He wanting to squeeze Lin Tian and make Lin Tian look bad in front of the dignitaries of Sanzhou.

If everyone thought Wang He was a bad person before, now some people think that Wang He might have some brain problems. He

dared to interrupt the words of His Royal Highness King Jing easily.

He must be very bold.

“How could it be? Didn’t you just win the poem against Master Zhu Zhengli in Tianxiang Pavilion a few days ago? That day, I saw Master Lin was very talented!” Wang He deliberately brought up the past. “Could it be that Master Lin

cheated and copied other people’s poems that day? This kind of thing that corrupts morality should not be done!” As if he thought of something, Wang He pretended to be surprised!

Lin Tian smiled disdainfully, thinking that Wang He had some powerful tricks.

I didn’t expect it to be just like this.

But what Wang He said made everyone suspicious.

Everyone knew that Lin Tian was an unlearned prodigal son, but he was able to win Zhu Zhengli in a poetry competition.

It’s hard not to suspect that he plagiarized other people’s poems.

But Zhu Zhengli, who had been keeping silent like an ostrich, was immediately like a chicken with flowers exploded when he heard Lin Tian’s sneer. Just

as he was about to speak, Lin Tian spoke.

“How can a scholar’s work be called copying? What’s more, every word that day was from my heart. Poetry requires one to express one’s feelings.”

“How can we talk about winning or losing in elegant matters?”

“What’s more, Miss Qin is very talented. Why should I humiliate myself?”

Lin Tian was extremely calm.
