The sincerity of Wen Wang's invitation was more seen by outsiders as a fear of Li Chen's mysterious background, leading to him lowering his status.
Li Chen knew it wouldn't be that simple.
He didn't refuse, but nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in together."
The two chatted and laughed, completely losing the tense atmosphere that had existed between them. They walked together into Yimeiyuan.
On the other hand, Zhang Wangyang, after getting up with a disheveled appearance, was too embarrassed to continue participating in any poetry gatherings. He got up and left dejectedly.
Others are all eagerly guessing at Li Chen's identity, and no one cares where Zhang Wangyang went.
"This Yizhi Garden is one of the best scenic spots in the capital city. Especially during winter, when plum blossoms are in full bloom, there are over twenty varieties. You can say that almost every variety of plum blossom found in China today can be seen here."
In his conversation with Li Chen, the Crown Prince Wen was courteous and eloquent, able to converse on almost any topic.
As the host introduced Yimeiyuan with great care, Prince Wen of the royal family suddenly smiled and said, “It is a great honor for me that you have come to the poetry gathering. I just don’t know your esteemed name”
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Surname Qin, call me Young Master Qin."
Wen Wang's son's eyes flickered, he wasn't sure whether to believe it or not. He said, "In that case, it's good. Young Master Qin, people say plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum are the four friends of a gentleman. I wonder if Young Master Qin has a preference"
"Having a preference, but not among these four friends."
Li Chen smiled and said, "Young Master, do you know there is a grass called Heartbreaker"
The Crown Prince Wen's expression was perfectly measured as he said, "Oh I would appreciate it if Young Master Qin would enlighten me."
"The grass called "heartbreaker," breaks hearts, it appears unremarkable, much like common weeds. However, any creature, be it bird, beast, or man, who mistakenly eats it will surely die. This seemingly ordinary thing actually possesses deadly poison. It may not look intimidating, but it can kill."
These words were said by Li Chen with a smile, his tone gentle. But to the ears of Prince Wenwang, they carried immense weight.
He cast a complicated glance at Li Chen and clasped his hands together, saying, "Young Master Qin has a sharp eye. I have learned much from you."
"As the host of this poetry gathering, I have much to attend to and the event is about to begin. I must take my leave for now."
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Please go ahead, Young Master."
Seeing the departure of Prince Wen, Li Chen slowly withdrew his gaze from her back and turned to see Su Jinpa and a group of flamboyant noble young ladies gathered together.
At gatherings of young people, the women, with their youthful charm and beauty, always draw the eye.
Many elegant and well-dressed young gentlemen were gathered around this group of ladies, entertaining them with witty conversation, and none had more admirers than Su Jinpa.
Just when she was getting really annoyed, Li Chen walked over and directly pulled her hand, leading her away.
This move has provoked widespread anger.
"Where did you come from, scoundrel To dare touch Miss Su's hand Are you looking for death!"
Li Chen coldly glanced at the person who spoke, saying: "This young master touched your hand Even a handkerchief didn't speak, let alone you, a dog, barking there"
The person being insulted froze, their face turning red with anger.
Those who come here are all people of standing, everyone talks with sophistication and elegance. What they value most is quality.
But who would have thought, a uninvited guest suddenly appeared, uttering such venomous words
A few of the bolder girls listened to Li Chen's words and found them amusing. They giggled, which made the man feel even more embarrassed.
