Chapter 357: Thirteenth Prince Chen Mu, forced by a noble
On the square stage, the courtesan took the stage again, her graceful figure and charming appearance.

The lights were bright, and under the candlelight, her face looked even more beautiful, as if alive.

The atmosphere gradually reached a climax, and the cheers of the people on both sides of the flood control area shook the earth.

However, no one expected that—

At the banquet of beauties, three setting poems came into being.

Xie Guan of the Caotang Poetry Society became famous for his poetic talent and even won the favor of many courtesans.

The nobles present were all asking who this Xie Guan was.

Zhang Yuanlai looked at Xie Guan in front of him with an indifferent expression. He just lowered his head to drink, seemingly not caring.

As soon as Yu Ke's wine glass was empty, Zhou Yuner quickly filled it up for him.

Zhang Yuanlai sighed and said, "I thought I would have to wait until I went to Longxi Road to hear the name of Master Guan."

"I didn't expect that by the time of this farewell banquet, Master Guan would have already become famous in Bianjing."

Feng Yaya stood quietly aside, gently holding Zhang Yuanlai's arm.

She had heard Zhang Yuanlai praising Xie Guan before, and at the time she thought that most of the words were exaggerated. But after seeing it with her own eyes today, she realized that Zhang Yuanlai had still underestimated this Young Master Guan.

With just three poems, the seating order of the courtesans at the Banquet of Beauties was changed, which amazed everyone.

Li Xiangjun also showed some respect in her eyes, and said softly: "After today, Master Guan, I'm afraid you will become a guest of honor for many courtesans."

After hearing this, Yu Ke felt helpless.

Unexpectedly, after failing to become a "plagiarist" in the Shenxiao Sect, he did get to "show off his power in front of others" in this simulated world.

He Xiao's expression was complicated.

Jia Yu and the other two couldn't help but blush with shame when they recalled their sarcastic remarks just now. They parted their lips and were about to speak.

at this time!

A rough voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence at the table.

"Where is Xie Guan?"

Feng Yaya and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw four people walking slowly on the path between the banquet tables.

Leading the group was a young man wearing dark gold piping on his sleeves and a luxurious fur coat draped over his shoulders.

He was tall and slender, wearing a glazed crown with a phoenix pattern on his head. His white hairband fluttered in the wind. He had a beautiful face, but there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Next to the man was a cute and pretty girl in a red palace dress. She was holding a bag full of melon seeds in one hand and peeling them slowly with the other.

The person who just spoke was a sturdy man holding a sword who was following behind the man.

"Where is Xie Guan?"

"My master wants to see him."

The sturdy man's voice was as loud as a bell, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

Among the four people, there was a man walking to the side, playing with a golden-haired civet cat in his hand. He looked fair and handsome, but his face looked a little sickly, and there was a hint of femininity in his peach blossom eyes.

It was the eleventh prince, Chen Yong, who had just entered the banquet with Zhang Yunzhi and Li Shuwan.

Li Xiangjun's eyes focused and she recognized the identities of the man and woman.

The man was none other than Chen Mu, the thirteenth prince of the current Great Qi. He was a brother of the Prince of Yan from the same mother, and the people of Bian Jing called him "His Highness Mu".

The girl's name was Yuan Yue. She was born into the Yuan family, one of the nine major surnames, and was the third daughter of the eldest branch of the Yuan family.

The biological mother of Prince Yan, the imperial concubine in the harem, was from the Yuan family.

As the head of the harem, the queen has the most respected status and is in charge of all affairs in the harem.

The status of the Imperial Noble Consort was second only to that of the Empress, followed by the Noble Consort and other concubines.

Li Xiangjun told Xie Guan all these identities and backgrounds.

Feng Yaya reminded him softly, "Master Guan, these people are of prominent status and have come with ill intentions. Especially His Highness Mu, who has long been notorious in Bianjing." "He relies on the support of Prince Yan and the Yuan family to bully men and women and act recklessly. No one dares to provoke him. In the past, he forced several top prostitutes of Yuehuaxuan to death, and even though the Dali Temple intervened, it was ultimately left unresolved."

After hearing this, Yu Ke nodded slowly.

Chen Yong approached holding a civet cat, and greeted with a smile: "Life is full of encounters, isn't this the Guan Gongzi in person?"

Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince Chen Mu turned his gaze to a young man at the table, frowned slightly, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

The woman in the palace skirt looked up, peeled the melon seeds in her hand and put them into her mouth, and then she carefully put the melon seed shells into the sachet.

She glanced at Xie Guan and ignored him.

Chen Mu came over with a group of people.

Li Xiangjun and Feng Yaya bowed quickly and said, "Greetings, His Highness Mu and His Highness Yong."

Yu Ke stood aside with a calm expression. He was familiar with Xie Guan's memory and did not show any panic at this moment. He followed the others to greet.

However, Chen Mu ignored Li Xiangjun and the others and walked straight to Yu Ke.

"Xie Guan, you have ruined my great plan. How should this matter be dealt with?"

Yu Ke frowned slightly. He searched Xie Guan's memory carefully but found no trace of any interaction with the Thirteenth Prince.

Chen Mu said coldly, "Thank you for watching the poem you wrote today. It made Madam Gongsun give up the three poems she had been preparing for the poetry meeting, which dampened my interest."

"How do you think this should end?"

Li Xiangjun's expression changed slightly when she heard this.

The rules of the banquet have always been to determine the winner based on the quality of the poems, so where does the saying "the prepared poems will definitely win" come from? Although she was indignant in her heart, she did not dare to say much.

Behind Madam Gongsun stood the Sixth Prince, Prince Yan, and Chen Mu and Prince Yan were brothers from the same mother. How could she, a prostitute, dare to offend him easily?
Zhang Yuan stood aside, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Xie Guan's poem originally added some glory to Lady Gongsun, but in the mouth of His Highness Mu, it "spoiled the fun".

Black and white reversed!
The golden "lion cat" in Chen Yong's arms yawned lazily. He stroked the cat's soft fur, smiling at the corners of his lips, with a hint of teasing in his tone:

"Thirteenth brother, your statement is a bit unreasonable."

"Master Guan and Xie Yu are brothers from the same father, why are you being so aggressive?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain:

"Who is Xie Guan to be compared with Yu Ge'er?"

Xie Yu is the youngest son of Madam Yuan and is deeply loved by Old Madam Xie.

Chen Mu's mother was from the Yuan family.

The Thirteenth Prince Chen Mu's eyes pierced directly at Xie Guan, and his tone was filled with unquestionable pressure:
"Xie Guan, if you write a poem today that satisfies this king, this matter will be over. Otherwise..."

"Today you, Xie Guan, cannot leave this banquet of beauties."

The voice just fell.

The big man holding the sword behind Chen Mu took a step forward, and his aura suddenly burst out, pressing towards Xie Guan like a mountain.

The big man had a burly build, with a murderous look in his eyes. Although the long sword at his waist had not been unsheathed, there was a faint clanging sound.

Good thing!

This person only wanted to intimidate others and had no real ill intentions.

Yu Ke sensed that this person had the strength of the third level in martial arts.

Li Xiangjun already knew why Chen Mu and his group came.

Behind this Thirteenth Prince there was also a courtesan who forced Xie Guan to write poetry for her.

Zhou Yuner had already raised her eyebrows, it was really too bullying.
