He quickly stepped forward to hold the second prince's wrist, and the cold sweat fell on Zhu Yijing's face:

"Second brother, don't do this, second brother. I have hated the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, and I know very little about the so-called poems. If you push me out like this, I don't know how to make me laugh at that time. Calm down!"

"Third brother, don't worry."

Smiling and gently stroked Zhu Yijing's arm, the second prince looked quite happy:

"It's a good thing that you can come. Second brother won't be embarrassed for you. He just introduced you to a friend I know. He won't let you recite the Four Books and Five Classics, nor will he let you recite poems and lyrics. After that, you just need to find a seat to sit down and see what everyone is doing."

Speaking of this, the second prince smiled bitterly:

"After all, brother is coming today, but it's later than you, so I'll introduce you to everyone before he comes, so as not to have a conflict in a while."

When Zhu Yijing heard that the eldest prince was coming, he became even more unhappy:

"Second brother, if the eldest prince is coming, wouldn't you introduce me to everyone first? Isn't it just to give him eye drops? Or don't you give me a robe, I put it on, and then find a corner where no one is hidden."

"Third brother, first of all, don't always call him the eldest prince, or the eldest brother."

The second prince looked serious and held Zhu Yijing's arm with his back hand to prevent him from slipping inside:

"Secondly, you and your elder brother are both my brothers. My elder brother has been here before and I personally introduced it to my friends. You are here today, and your second brother cannot favor one or the other.

Besides, they are all my own brothers. I know the problem between you and your elder brother, but with me here, my elder brother will not do anything to you, and will not make things difficult for you."

After saying this, Zhu Yijing had to sigh and agree:

"Okay, second brother. But after introducing me, it's okay if I find a place to hide, right?"

The second prince was suddenly confused:

"What does it mean to hide without any trouble... Forget it, you are willing to attend poetry meetings. If you ask for so many requests, you will be ignorant. After the introduction, you can do whatever you want."

After agreeing to Zhu Yijing's request, the second prince turned his attention to You Shenglan:

"Is this General You? As expected, he is tall and brave, and he is a talented person. My third brother is a naughty person on weekdays, and he is troubled by you and you will be more troubled and less trouble."

"I dare not take it, the Second Highness is polite."

After bowing and answering the second prince's words, You Shenglan felt in her heart that if Zhu Yijing could be half as knowledgeable as the second prince, she wouldn't have to beat him every day.

After saying a few polite words to each other, the second prince immediately spread his palms and smiled at Zhu Yijing and You Shenglan and invited:

"Okay, third brother and General You, please come with me."

Following the second prince, Zhu Yijing and You Shenglan entered the front hall where the poetry meeting was held.

As soon as they entered the front hall, Zhu Yijing and You Shenglan saw that the surrounding walls were full of various calligraphy and paintings, including those who painted mountains and rivers, rivers, buildings, landscapes, and ladies, which were dazzling.

What is even more surprising is that the same seal is stamped below these paintings:

The second prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yirui Seal.

He looked at the second prince who was leading the way in front of him in surprise. You Shenglan bent down and asked softly in the ear of Zhu Yijing, who looked as normal:

"Are these painted by His Highness the Second Prince?"

"Um."

Turning his head to look at You Shenglan, Zhu Yijing looked proud:

"The same person can actually draw different scenery with different styles and write different characters with different calligraphy. Does Shenglan feel very good?"

To Zhu Yijing's surprise, You Shenglan actually nodded seriously:

"It's quite amazing. My father has collected several ancient paintings depicting the frontier, which seems to be not too far from the paintings of the second prince."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has his heart, Zhu Yijing's heart moved slightly:

"Border Painting? Does Sheng Lan know who the author is?"

He tilted his head and thought hard, and You Shenglan finally shook his head regretfully:

"I can't remember it. After all, I have no interest in paintings. I only remember that the author seems to be surnamed Wu and was a painter from the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Yijing almost fell to the ground.

My God, a painter named Wu in the Tang Dynasty, isn’t Wu Daozi the only famous one?

After finally stabilizing his body, Zhu Yijing found that the second prince stopped at some point and turned around and twitched his lips:

"What... General You, can I buy your paintings with silver?"

After saying that, the second prince himself was also nervous. After all, he knew how valuable Wu Daozi's paintings were. Generally speaking, there might be no price.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, You Shenglan waved her hand and replied indifferently:

"Oh, it's okay, just a few paintings. If you like the second prince, you can just ask someone to send it to the capital one day, and you don't need any silver."

Zhu Yijing's face turned green at this time and he quickly pulled her sleeve:

"Don't be stupid. Your paintings are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Besides, you must accept the money from your second brother, otherwise you may be considered as using power to suppress others and ruining your second brother's reputation."

"If I really accept it, I will die!"

He slapped Zhu Yijing's head in anger. The second prince, who was half a head taller than him, was speechless:

"You can only give me the painting after General You returns to the frontier, but I, a prince, accept the gifts from the frontier generals, and your elder brother is not worried about death? It's just that I just think it's a chance to meet."

While talking, the three of them were about to enter the hall.

At this time, in the hall, there were about a dozen young scholars of the same age as the second prince sitting in the mat, tapping the bowls and teacups with chopsticks, and singing loudly.

Not to mention, these people are very consistent with the rhythm, not randomly pounding. You can tell at a glance that they are proficient in the rhythm. Therefore, even if they use bowls, cups, tea cups, etc., they can play good music.

"Everyone, everyone."

The second prince clapped his palms, attracted everyone's attention, and reached out to introduce:

"Today, a distinguished guest joined us..."

The young scholars present raised their heads curiously, but saw the second prince pushing Zhu Yijing in front of them and introducing them with a smile:

"That's my third brother, Zhu Yijing!"

In an instant, the entire hall became quiet.

Zhu Yijing, who was pushed forward by the second prince, almost breathed a sigh of relief.

...

At the same time, outside the Meridian Gate.

An ordinary carriage slowly passed by the flagpole with several human heads hanging. At the same time, Bao Renjiu, dressed in black, lifted the curtain and looked at Wu Qinming's head, which was already a bit dry, and was thinking.

Before the flagpole disappeared from sight, Bao Renjiu had already put down the curtain and sat alone in the carriage and pondered without saying a word.

After a long time, Bao Renjiu's mouth slightly curled up:

"It's interesting."

(Sadly, Uncle Tong's breasts are not weak. It was raining outside this afternoon. When he ran on the treadmill suddenly, the machine had a problem and tripped me. His whole right leg and knee were worn out, and he was bleeding all over his legs.
