Zhu Qingshou seemed not to have caught the word "pig and beast" from Qin Chuan, and instead chuckled dryly twice, saying, "You don't even have an invitation, what kind of poetry gathering are you attending!"
"Excuse me, I do have an invitation!" Qin Chuan took out the invitation.
"you……!"
Zhu Qingshou pointed at Qin Chuan with his folding fan, speechless with anger. At this moment, a scholar dressed in a scholar's robe whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, he looked at Qin Chuan and chuckled twice.
"I heard you, Qin Shazi, aren't stupid anymore? You actually have the guts to come to the poetry gathering. But do you know who's attending this poetry gathering?"
"Qin Chuan, listen up! Everyone who can attend this poetry gathering is a social celebrity, or at the very least, a scholar who has taken the imperial examinations. You, a country bumpkin who has never even taken the imperial examinations, dare to come to this poetry gathering? You're just asking for humiliation!"
When Zhu Qingshou said this, the scholars dressed in their scholar's robes around him nodded in agreement. After Zhu Qingshou finished speaking, they all looked at Qin Chuan with disdain.
"Young Master Zhu, you are a great poet, your poetic talent is unparalleled throughout history, why waste your breath on this country bumpkin!"
“That’s right, Young Master Zhu, we don’t need to pay attention to this country bumpkin. Let’s go inside quickly. I heard that the princess is also coming to attend this poetry gathering. Let’s go and see!”
Upon hearing the word "Princess," Zhu Qingshou seemed to immediately perk up. A glimmer of light shone in his eyes, which were covered in dark circles. He opened his folding fan and said, "I've heard that the Princess loves poetry the most. This time, I, the young master, must perform well and try to leave a good impression on the Princess, hehe!"
"Have you heard? It's said that the princess is a master of poetry and lyrics, not only in poetry but also in lyrics!"
"I can't write lyrics. Lyrics are much more difficult than poems. Young Master Zhu must be quite accomplished in this area, right?"
"Of course!" Zhu Qingshou said smugly.
As they talked, Zhu Qingshou and the others walked together toward the main hall of Mingyue Tower.
As he walked, he suddenly looked back and muttered, "Why does this guy look so familiar..."
Su Ruyan turned her face away, pressed her body against Qin Chuan, and didn't want to look at him at all.
"Wife, uh no... Young Master Su, let's go in too!" Qin Chuan tugged at Su Ruyan.
Su Ruyan nodded, then told Xu Mu beside her not to call her Fifth Sister and not to reveal her identity. Xu Mu nodded.
