The scene fell silent instantly.

Each person's expression was frozen on their face, looking both comical and captivating.

Even the graceful and noble Prince Wen, known for his bearing, couldn't help but show a hint of black fury in his eyes. He was obviously angered by this statement.

His voice was slightly cold as he said, "Qin Gongzi, you can disagree with our opinions and speak your mind freely, but this kind of insult is not appropriate, is it"

Li Chen rubbed the rim of his teacup with his thumb, saying in a detached voice: “What’s there to say to a bunch like you”

"This young master has long understood a truth, namely, one should not argue with fools."

When you encounter someone who is foolish and talks grandly, just agree with them and tell them they are right.

"This way, at least I can avoid being thought foolish by others. Otherwise, wouldn't people think that I'm so stupid as to argue with a bunch of fools"

Wen Wang's son heard this, and his face immediately turned cold. He looked at Li Chen carefully and said: "Qin Gongzi's meaning is that I and everyone present are fools"

Li Chen grinned and said, "You're right."

Li Chen's statement echoes the previous one, creating a surprisingly humorous effect.

Su Jinpa listened carefully and burst into laughter on the spot.

And Wen Wang's eldest son blushed slightly, apparently understanding Li Chen's meaning.

Seeing the atmosphere he had carefully created about to be shattered, Prince Wen Wang gritted his teeth and said: "Since Master Qin is so aloof and self-important, then this gathering of ordinary people is not welcome to you. Please leave immediately, Master Qin."

Li Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at Wen Wang's crown prince, put down his teacup, and said slowly, "You are nothing more than a hostage sent by Wen Wang to the capital. What gave you the courage and delusion that you are the master here"

Seeing Li Chen tear away his fig leaf, Prince Wen thoroughly lost his composure, becoming enraged and saying, “This poetry gathering was organized by me. Today's Yimeiyuan is under my control. Who dares say I am not the master”

I said you are not, then you are not.

Li Chen said indifferently: "A poetry gathering is a place for friends to gather and exchange their insights. Even if it's about criticizing current affairs or discussing political matters, it should be within objective and reasonable limits. Otherwise, it would be slandering the government, which is a serious crime. After you rallied these officials from the capital city, everyone was full of complaints about the East Palace. What do you want To form a clique and gang up against the East Palace"

Prince Wenwang sneered: "What a big accusation you're making. I, an unassuming person, merely offered my opinion based on the current situation and it resonated with many. This very fact proves that people are dissatisfied with Donggong's policies. Waging endless wars is a reality, undeniable by anyone. As for you, you spout nonsense about state affairs. Anyone would think you were some high-ranking official."

Bang.

Li Chen slammed his teacup on the table and looked up at Wen Wang's son, saying, "So you're admitting that you want to band together against the East Palace"

Faced with Li Chen's icy and indifferent gaze, the Crown Prince Wen felt a jolt in his heart.

He suddenly realized he had lost control of his emotions and was being led by Li Chen's rhythm.

At this juncture, it's crucial to swallow your pride and avoid conflict. This is a time for restraint and diplomacy, not rash actions driven by emotions.

Thinking this way, the Crown Prince of Wenwang took a deep breath, relaxed his expression, and raised his hand to salute towards the direction of the East Palace. He said, "The martial prowess of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not something that ordinary people like us can fathom. I have no intention of opposing the East Palace at all. I just want to discuss things rationally. If it's inappropriate, then we won't talk about it." acting all along. You can't blame yourself for that."After taking a deep breath, King Ning waved his hand to dismiss the woman and returned to his study. He immediately summoned his confidante."Have...
