I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 20
After Zhao Kai left, Zhao Wen, who returned to the mansion, finally couldn't control the anger in his heart. He smashed countless treasures in a row and was still angry. He had never suffered such humiliation as a prince, and said viciously to the scary people around him:

"Check out that person named Chen Xiaokai to see who he is. If this person has no background, then we can't let him leave Tai'an City safely! Get lost!"

The servants retreated in response. Although Zhao Wen was angry, he did not lose his mind. The other party knew that he was the second prince, but he was still unmoved. It's obviously not something a fool can do without keeping his head up, but why is he so confident?Is there really someone in this world who is not afraid of the royal family?

"Could it be that my brothers did it on purpose?" After venting his anger, Zhao Wen, who had calmed down a lot, couldn't help hesitating. As a prince, he certainly wanted to be emperor, but the emperor had six or seven sons. If the matter of Chen Xiaokai ruined the reputation he worked so hard to build, it would not be worth the loss.

"Let's investigate further"

Sure enough, on the second day, Chen Xiaokai's name spread throughout Tai'an City, and became a topic of after-dinner conversation among countless people in the capital.
Even the storyteller in the restaurant started to talk about Chen Xiaokai's deeds,

"By the way, Chen Xiaokai, who claims to be a member of Guangling Taoism, is a commoner student. In this city of Tai'an, on the top of the Zhuangyuan Building, he first confronted the eternal absolute in ancient books, and first defeated the talented Huang Guance of Jizhou.
Then he even crushed Li Fujian, the poet of the dynasty. He wrote thirty poems in a quarter of an hour. Each capital is a wonderful poem that can be passed down through the ages. In other words, I am afraid that he would not dare to use the title of Immortal again. In this competition, he will lose again to the disciples of the powerful.

In the third game of chess, this student surnamed Chen was even more astonished. One person played chess with two people respectively. What was even more amazing was that he actually played blind chess. However, Feng Song Keli, a young girl from the Song family who is known as a family in the literary world, and Kou Jianghuai, one of the eight masters of the Shangyin Academy, who has a deep knowledge of vertical and horizontal techniques, but when everyone thought he could not win, this Master Chen won easily. Well, in this world, I am afraid that only Huang Sanjia has such a level, the third game, chess skills, lose again;
In the fourth competition, I lost again; in the fifth competition, I still lost miserably in the competition of mathematics. You may be curious why you don’t compete in calligraphy. In fact, it’s not because you don’t want to compare, but because of the characters, all the students are afraid to compare. Bureau, playing the piano, who would have thought that Chen Caizi was also a piano teacher?The students lost again in this battle.

In the seventh game, the painting competition. Before that, we all thought that Chen Xiaokai's poems and songs were already the best in the world, and his chess and calligraphy were comparable to Huang Sanjia. But it is impossible to think that this person's painting skills are truly the best in the world. Xu Weixiong's pictures of the most beautiful woman in the world are all from his handwriting, and this person even painted the oiran Pan'er like a fairy in the sky under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone is mesmerized by it, and countless children of wealthy gentry and rich families have already forgotten The winner of the competition has been decided, and they all expressed their hope to buy this painting, the price has soared to 1 taels of silver, and even His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the palace is bound to get this painting."

The storyteller stopped to take a sip of water, adjusted his voice, and continued:
"That's 1 taels of silver. In this city of Tai'an, you can buy a courtyard with three entrances and three exits. For the poor, it's a wealth that can't be earned in a few lifetimes, but who would have thought~~ ~Who would have thought that this guy would tear up the painting directly, it is simply stupid, old man, I said how many books to earn 1 taels, I am so pissed off.”

The storyteller slapped his thigh as he spoke, his leg was almost swollen, and then the storyteller said
"This Chen Xiaokai is really good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is proficient in all poems and songs. He has won seven rounds in a row and won all seven games! Such a talent is the only one I have seen in my life. It is not unreasonable to say that he is the best in the world. However, the worst thing is this Liyang's number one talented person."

At the same time, in a private room of the restaurant, several young men and women were having dinner together. After hearing what the storyteller said, one of the young men laughed out loud.

"Brother Zhao, you are now the most talented person in the world. Congratulations, you are going to treat me this time."

"Brother Kou is serious. How can you trust the words of the storyteller? I can't afford the title of the world's most talented person. Even if it is, it is Chen Xiaokai. It has nothing to do with me, Zhao. The key is that I don't Money, but Brother Song, you should have it, right? Your family is so rich, today I can only rely on you," Zhao Kai said to Song Chufeng who was next to him who obviously hadn't recovered from yesterday's failure.

"It's only natural, Brother Chen~~~ Oh no, Brother Zhao can invite me to this small gathering, so naturally Brother Zhao can't spend money."

"So your name is not Chen Xiaokai, so what is your name Zhao? This surname is decided by your parents, how can you change it casually?" The only woman among them spoke. It was Zhang Gaoxia, the daughter of Zhang Shoufu. I only made an appointment with Kou Jianghuai, I didn't expect the two of them to come too,
"Zhao, you still owe me a painting, you just have to paint it for me quickly, I paid for it, I want the colored one, you really did it yesterday, such a good painting was torn up just like that, It’s so violent, what the storyteller said is absolutely right, it’s simply stupid!”

The fact that Zhao Kai tore up the painting became a pain in everyone's heart.

"Miss, you may be disappointed. Mr. Zhao didn't bring much paint with him this trip, and he has other uses, so he can't paint for you. The future will be long, and I will paint for you when I have a chance, but this time I will write for you. It's still possible, have you brought the painting!"

"No, here you are, you have to write better for me, I spent money," Zhang Gaoxia could see that he liked the painting very much, and even asked someone to express it.

Zhao Kai took the painting, and after a little thought, wrote 25 characters on the upper right side of the painting:

Hands are soft and skin is like fat, collar is like gnats and grubs, teeth are like gourds and rhinos, heads and eyebrows!

It is also marked on the back: a gift from Chen Xiaokai of Shangyin Academy!
"Good writing! Poetry is also good! It's amazing. It took only a while to write such a poem. It's a genius,"

Zhang Gaoxia also liked these words very much, happily put away the painting, and did not forget to thank Zhao Kai,
"By the way, my surname is Zhao. I heard that you even gave the No. [-] painting in the world to the Second Princess of Beiliang. What is the relationship between you two? Why did you send the painting to her instead of me? Who is painted in that painting? It’s so mysterious~~”

"..."

This can't tell you, if she found out, she would kill me with a sword, Zhao Kai quickly changed the subject.

In the next few days, the few people also got together and visited almost all the beautiful scenery in Tai'an City. Except for Zhao Kai, the few people present were basically local tyrants, very generous, and the relationship between the few people also became It is very good, and there is a feeling of wishing to see each other later, Zhao Kai also drew the scene of several people traveling in the mountains and rivers in the painting and added:

The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the Tai'an flowers in one day!

At sunset, several people reluctantly parted. In the next few days, the imperial examination will be held. Song Keli is going to take the imperial examination, so they can't play around. Originally, Zhang Gaoxia wanted to ask Zhao Kai alone, but Zhao Kai said that he had something to do He refused, even Kou Jianghuai couldn't bear to see such a straight man's behavior, and called him "wood", but Zhao Kai didn't lie, he did have something to do.
