At this moment, the hall was deathly silent.
Jing Zhe's serious expression, coupled with his statement "I don't think so," was quite comical.
But they couldn't laugh, because that would be like laughing at the crown prince of Yu the Great.
So they have to endure it, which is very uncomfortable.
Why don't you think so?
"The Crown Prince of Yu said, panting heavily."
"Does the Crown Prince of Yu have poor eyesight? Didn't you see that Pavilion Master Mu and Garden Master Wang are both sitting? What, if they can sit, why can't I?"
You can't!
"The crown prince of Yu roared."
If it was merciful of him to only think of setting a trap and swindling Jing Zhe out of all his money before, then now he has decided that as soon as the poetry gathering ends, he will not hesitate to make Jing Zhe disappear!
As for his money and his women, they all belong to him!
He sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you're qualified to be compared to Pavilion Master Mu and her disciples? They can sit on this chair, but you can't!"
Why is that?
"Because you don't deserve it!"
"Whether you are worthy or not is not for the young master to decide. Just as the young master said, I can return it to you in full now!"
"..."
Jing Zhe also gave a cold laugh.
He's just a mere heir to the Yu King; Jing Zhe won't indulge him! Even if his father came, Jing Zhe wouldn't tolerate it!
Moreover, he could guess that the collusion between King Yu and King Jin was definitely not a good thing. Once he found the evidence, his fate would be the same as Su Xinping's!
The crown prince of Yu was furious!
Should we return to him everything he just said?
The Crown Prince of Yu just said to Jing Zhe, "You are not worthy," so isn't his return an insult to himself that he is unworthy?
Having lived so long, when has the Crown Prince of Yu ever suffered such humiliation?
He had been planning to make a big splash tonight and impress Mu Qingren and Zhou Ziqiong, but who would have thought this would happen?
If it weren't for the large number of people present, the Crown Prince of Yu would have ordered his men to drag him out and execute him without hesitation!
However, there were too many people around, and it was in front of Mu Qingren and Zhou Ziqiong, so he could only hold back.
"Then tell me, who exactly has the right to criticize you?"
Jing Zhe pointed a finger and said, "Since you're talking about Pavilion Master Mu, then naturally only Pavilion Master Mu and her disciple are qualified!"
"You too—"
The Crown Prince of Yu immediately shouted, wanting to rebuke Jing Zhe, asking how he dared to question Mu Qingren.
However, Jing Zhe completely ignored him and instead looked at Mu Qingren, asking softly, "Does Pavilion Master Mu think I am qualified to sit here?"
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head slightly and secretly winked at her from an angle where no one could see.
Mu Qingren had no resistance to Jing Zhe to begin with, and after being looked at by him like that, her heart was in turmoil, and she wished she could rush up and kiss him a few times.
However, as the head of the pavilion, he still had this much composure. He calmed himself down and turned to look at Wang Yingqiu: "Yingqiu, do you think this young master is qualified to sit here?"
Wang Yingqiu glanced at Jing Zhe and smiled, "Everyone who came to Juxianlou for the Lantern Festival Poetry Gathering must have paid for it. Juxianlou is a business, so naturally, all who come are guests. As guests, you can sit wherever you want, whenever you want, without any problem. Seeing that you, young master, don't seem like a fool, how could you possibly ask such a question as whether you are qualified to sit?"
"This must be Master Wang, right? Seeing is believing, Master Wang's words are just as brilliant as you are! Thank you for reminding me, Master Wang. It's like a wake-up call, making me realize the truth! This kind of question is really too stupid! But I didn't ask it. As for who asked it—I won't say."
After Jing Zhe finished speaking with a grin, he couldn't help but glance at the Crown Prince of Yu, almost as if he wanted to recite his ID number.
A hush fell over the hall as everyone stared at the Crown Prince of Yu, whose face had turned a deep purplish-red, waiting for him to erupt.
"Thank you for the compliment, young master!"
Wang Yingqiu was still a little worried about Jing Zhe, after all, the other party was the Crown Prince of Yu, so she quickly said something, which indirectly helped the Crown Prince of Yu out of the predicament and prevented him from making a scene.
"You're too kind. Both Pavilion Master Mu and Garden Master Wang are unparalleled beauties in the world. I was just stating the facts!"
Jing Zhe flattered him profusely, which was a small way of making up for the fact that they couldn't acknowledge each other.
"And who is this young lady beside you, sir...?"
At this moment, Mu Qingren looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked, "Could she be the young master's wife?"
Mu Qingren had never met Zhang Xiaoyu before. Seeing her standing beside Jing Zhe, which was far beyond the realm of ordinary people, made her feel a little sour. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked.
"..."
However, everyone was stunned when these words were spoken.
You see, in their hearts, Mu Qingren was someone otherworldly, aloof like a fairy, and everyone felt that even speaking a single word to her was a luxury. They never expected her to not only ask Jing Zhe a question, but also such a personal one…
So, besides being surprised, everyone present was also somewhat envious: being good-looking really does allow you to do whatever you want!
"Yes, this is my wife."
Jing Zhe said directly.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Qingren felt instantly uneasy.
"Oh? Seeing that you are so young, I really didn't expect you to already have a wife... So, have you and your wife already gone through the wedding ceremony?"
This time, Jing Zhe shook his head and smiled, "The wedding ceremony hasn't happened yet, but it's only a matter of time!"
"..."
Mu Qingren listened and remained silent, pursing her lips.
The happiest person was Liu Piaopiao.
Haven't they gone through the wedding ceremony yet?
That would be even better! Then I'd be the only first wife!
Seeing that Mu Qingren had stopped speaking, Wang Yingqiu gave Zhang Xiaoyu a slight bow and then smiled, "Manager Hu, we've been in Juxianlou for so long, why hasn't the poetry gathering started yet?"
"..."
Manager Hu looked helpless: If you hadn't been talking to this guy the moment you walked in, the poetry gathering would have started long ago!
But aloud he said, "Since Master Wang has spoken, then the Lantern Festival Poetry Gathering shall begin now! Next…"
Then, Manager Hu began to introduce the general rules of the poetry gathering, which were not much different from the original poetry gatherings, except that it was just a matter of composing poems and lyrics on the spot...
Wang Yingqiu then moved closer to Mu Qingren and spoke in a low voice.
"What's wrong? Are you angry?"
"..."
Mu Qingren pursed her lips and remained silent.
"What's wrong, are you jealous?"
"..."
Wang Yingqiu didn't take it to heart and continued to ask with a smile.
Mu Qingren wasn't going to answer yet, but she was still a little curious: "What? He suddenly came to Ruzhou City without telling us, and now he suddenly has a wife. Aren't you angry?"
To everyone's surprise, Wang Yingqiu smiled faintly, nodded, and said earnestly, "Yes, I'm not angry!"
"..."
