The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 149 Fan comes first

As soon as Ye Ren said this, everyone looked at Jiang Fan. Some people also thought that Jiang Fan's question might be wrong, thinking that Ye Ren was calculating. This was a counter-attack on Jiang Fan!

Everyone looked at Jiang Fan worriedly. If Jiang Fan couldn't give an answer, he would be in big trouble!

Jiang Fan glanced at Ye Ren indifferently, with a hint of regret in his eyes. He actually hoped that Ye Ren would struggle for a while longer and finally jump out to question whether his question was wrong.

Maybe, he could take the opportunity to dig a hole and let Ye Ren jump into it, but this guy was too cunning and retreated when he saw the situation was not good!

Sighing, he said, "What a pity... Never mind, it doesn't hurt to tell you! The number is 233."

When he said this, everyone was a little stunned and couldn't understand why Jiang Fan said it was a pity.

Only Ye Ren understood that Jiang Fan was probably regretting that he didn't fall into his trap and that a trap had been set for him. He felt relieved but also filled with fear.

At this time, he focused his attention on the answer, converted it, and found that the answer was correct, and his heart was filled with horror.

He thought he could outwit Jiang Fan, but he didn't expect that Jiang Fan would actually come up with an extremely difficult question.

When he looked at Jiang Fan again, fear welled up in his eyes. If he had been worried about whether he had answered the wrong question, he would have been tricked by Jiang Fan!

For the first time, he doubted his understanding of Jiang Fan. Or, he might have been wrong, and Jiang Fan was not a waste.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he shook his head, and became more resolute in his thoughts.

He couldn't accept that a useless prince who had always been in the deep palace could be so talented. How could it be possible?

You have to know that his grandson's education was much better than Jiang Fan's, but he was not as good as Jiang Fan now.

His grandson is not good enough, so why is Jiang Fan so outstanding? The only possibility is that everything today may be part of Chu Yan'er's calculations.

Jiang Fan's novel problem-solving method and his knowledge of ancient characters are abilities that can be acquired in a short period of time with a little training.

Or, when they spread the rumors, the extraordinary woman Chu Yan'er might have known about their plan and even figured out part of it.

Thinking of this, he became more certain of what he was thinking. After all, only a woman like Chu Yan'er could have such talent.

As for Jiang Fan! Impossible...

Ye Ren looked at Fan Xian, and the two exchanged glances.

Now the only chance to expose Jiang Fan is the last one, which is the poetry competition led by Fan Xian!

Reading and answering can be learned in a short period of time, but poetry cannot be achieved overnight.

As long as Jiang Fan loses the poetry competition and loses face, or even makes a fool of himself in public.

Then Jiang Fan’s previous amazing performance would be eclipsed, and even make Emperor Yan think that Jiang Fan might really be controlled by Chu Yan’er, and everything was planned by Chu Yan’er behind the scenes.

Fan Xian should have thought of this as well. He nodded to Ye Ren, looked at Jiang Fan with cold eyes, and walked out.

Seeing Fan Xian walk out, the people around him immediately broke into a cold sweat for Jiang Fan. Although Jiang Fan had won two games in a row, he was facing three people after all.

The people who came on the stage were more powerful and sinister than each other. Because Jiang Fan had made a big promise, he could not make the slightest mistake, otherwise, he would end up in disgrace.

"The Eighth Prince is indeed a man of great talent. I admire him. However, since the Eighth Prince wants to challenge all of us, I cannot surrender without a fight. In the third round, I want to compete with the Eighth Prince in parallelism and poetry. I wonder if the Eighth Prince dares to accept..."

Fan Xian looked at Jiang Fan calmly, his voice was calm, but with a sense of solemnity.

The Eighth Prince's words that he wanted to challenge all of them alone blocked Jiang Fan's possibility of avoiding the battle. This left Jiang Fan no way out.

Upon hearing this, the court officials around looked at Fan Xian angrily. They realized that this group of people would not stop until they made the Eighth Prince lose face and his reputation was ruined.

Most people looked at Jiang Fan worriedly, including the Emperor of Yan, Concubine Su's three daughters, and some court officials who looked at Jiang Fan differently.

Chu Xiaoya, who had just found an excuse to come over and look after Jiang Fan for Chu Yan'er, also had a worried look on her face.

Although Jiang Fan had written three poems before, all of which were pretty good, Fan Xianbi was not only competing with him in poetry, but also in parallelism.

First of all, in terms of poetry, it is not the case that inspiration will come to you just because you have it. Even if a talented person is able to write a good poem, without inspiration, he may not be able to write it even after spending several years.

As for parallelism, it is even more of a test of knowledge. Without a wealth of knowledge, I am afraid that you will not be able to write even a couplet.

Having said that, Fan Xian was a bit shameless. They had agreed to compete on only one type of question, but he shamelessly competed on two questions in one round. It seemed that he was afraid of tricking Jiang Fan to death.

"Fan Zuo Xiang, you have divided the questions into two parts. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" At this time, among the court officials, Grand Tutor Leng Changgang spoke coldly.

He was the teacher of Emperor Yan. In fact, he no longer cared much about the affairs of the court. When he attended court, he was usually like a mascot. Sometimes he didn't even need to attend court.

The Emperor of Yan had invited him here today to celebrate Qilinzi's wedding. He had been watching coldly from the sidelines.

Seeing Jiang Fan escape danger several times and bravely fight against Shi Wenzong and Ye Ren, he couldn't help but feel satisfied, and was also happy for Emperor Yan to have such a talented son.

As for the fact that Jiang Fan relied on Chu Yan'er, he didn't believe it at all. How could such a confident and capable prince be controlled by others? !

Although Jiang Fan looked a little young and arrogant, he could understand that it was Shi Wenzong and others who were causing trouble.

If Jiang Fan lowered his head, looked submissive, and spoke in a humble and submissive manner, he would instead think that Jiang Fan was not even a promising talent, and even if he had some talent, he could only be considered a wimp.

He liked Jiang Fan's character of not giving in and beating others up when he was unhappy. The only thing he was not satisfied with was that he felt Jiang Fan was a little too flamboyant, which was not good!

He actually developed a love for talent, and if possible, he wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Fan to see if he could get him to curb his flamboyant personality a little.

However, when he saw that Fan Xian was so shameless as to try to frame Jiang Fan, he couldn't help himself and wanted to speak up for Jiang Fan!

As soon as he said this, the court officials around him nodded in agreement. They did not dare to offend Fan Xian or speak fair words, but with the Grand Tutor around, he did not believe that Fan Xian would be so shameless as to make things difficult for Jiang Fan!

However, Fan Xian obviously didn't pay much attention to this Grand Master. He just smiled faintly and said to Leng Changgang:

"Grand Master, poetry and parallelism are inseparable. Since this is a literary contest, if we separate the two topics, it would be disrespectful to the way of literature and also disrespectful to the Eighth Prince. If Fan really did this, it would be unworthy of the Eighth Prince's bold words and look down on his talent!"

As soon as he said this, everyone secretly cursed Fan Xian for being shameless, and actually wanted to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others!
