Emperor Qing smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Seeing that Emperor Qing remained silent, Li Zhi immediately spoke up impatiently.
"Lord Changning, my third brother is only five years old!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in Nanqing burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty's younger brother is only five years old, yet he already composes excellent poems!"
"Moreover, this poem is even better than the one Mr. Cui wrote when he was ten years old!"
"Who dares to say that people from Nanqing can't write poetry!"
The Northern Qi delegation did not believe that Li Chang'an had written poetry at the age of five.
"How many words can a five-year-old recognize?"
"Your Highness Prince Jing, you're exaggerating!"
"Nan Qing is absolutely desperate to make a comeback in the literary world!"
"This was all a pre-rehearsed performance, wasn't it?"
……
Amidst a chorus of doubts, Cui Shen still offered a suggestion.
"Your Majesty, why don't you invite the Third Prince out to meet us?"
"I am very curious to know how he composed this poem?"
Emperor Qing nodded and said, "Very well! Prince Jing, call my third brother over!"
Before long, Li Chang'an was pulled from his sleep by Eunuch Hou.
When he stepped into the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, he sensed the starkly different emotions of the ministers from the two countries.
The people from Nanqing were all overjoyed, their expressions filled with anticipation.
The Northern Qi side pointed and shook their heads.
They simply didn't believe that a five-year-old could write poetry.
Not only can they write, but they can also write excellent works!
Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "Third brother, sit down next to me!"
He was afraid that Li Chang'an would be so frightened that he wouldn't be able to express his true thoughts when writing the poem.
At this moment, Cui Shen politely said, "Greetings, Third Prince!"

"Your Highness, I would like to ask how you conceived your poem about geese?"
Li Chang'an said in confusion, "Oh? So this is poetry?"
"I was just... describing what a goose looks like!"
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but secretly praise him!
Wow! What a good actor!
They don't even know what poetry is, yet they can compose poems on the spot!
Li Chang'an was doing it on purpose; he was determined to make Qing Kingdom proud today.
If they do well, Emperor Qing will reward them with more eunuchs and palace maids.
At that time, we might even discover a few talented individuals.
Upon hearing this, Cui Shen couldn't help but smile.
"So Your Highness is truly eloquent."
The Northern Qi delegation was abuzz with discussion, feeling that Emperor Qing and his two brothers were putting on an act.
Li Chang'an continued, "My lord, don't you believe me?"
Cui Shen, confident in his status, naturally couldn't argue with a child.
He bowed to Emperor Qing and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is quick-witted and intelligent; I admire him greatly."
"Perhaps Your Highness would like to describe another object, so that this humble subject may broaden his horizons?"
The immediate idea is to have Li Chang'an compose a poem on the spot, so that no one can say anything.
Emperor Qing glanced at Fan Jian, who immediately understood.
"Lord Cui, you are mistaken!"
"Poetry needs to be appropriate to the occasion. Yesterday, His Highness was so inspired by watching the geese that he was suddenly inspired to write poetry."
"Lord Cui is also a poet; he should know that masterpieces are often created by chance and cannot be forced!"
Fan Jian tried to smooth things over, but the Northern Qi delegation wouldn't let it go.
Various speculations and doubts abound.
But at this moment, Li Chang'an said something.
"Lord Cui, what do you wish to describe?"
Hearing Li Chang'an's confidence, the hall suddenly fell silent!
This five-year-old is challenging Cui Shen, the master of five-character poems!
Li Zhi and Fan Jian couldn't help but feel nervous.
Cui Shen was somewhat surprised to see Li Chang'an so calm.
Emperor Qing smiled and said, "In that case, please, Lord Cui, set the topic!"
Even if Li Chang'an can't compose a poem, it doesn't matter.
In any case, Nan Qing never won when it came to composing poetry.
Cui Shen scanned the main hall and suddenly noticed the snowflakes outside the glass window.
"Your Highness, please describe the snow!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't hold back any longer.
"Lord Cui, that's going too far!"
"Snow only falls once every ten years or so in Kyoto, South Korea!"
"This is the first time my third brother has ever seen snow since he was born!"
"Asking him to write a poem about snow is asking too much of him!"
Everyone in the hall spoke up, expressing their indignation on behalf of Li Chang'an!
But Li Chang'an murmured, "Snow, snow..."
He is thinking.
Which poem about snow would be the best copy to sound like a child's work?
But Wei Bi got anxious when he started muttering to himself.
The poem "Ode to the Goose" begins with "Goose, goose, goose!"
It's not impossible for Li Chang'an to sing "Snow Snow Snow" again!
"Since Your Highness speaks so eloquently, how about we add a little more difficulty?"
Wei Bi had heavy eye bags and a vacant look in his eyes; he looked like the kind of person who had a lively nightlife.
