The night breeze is blowing gently, the Xiang River is dripping, flower boats are docked in the river, and flowers are blooming by the river.

Changhua Garden is a famous place for fireworks on the banks of the Xiangshui River, where dignitaries and dignitaries come in an endless stream, squandering hundreds of dollars a night just to win the smile of a beautiful woman.

When the moon was on the branches, Li Ziye dragged Bai Wangyu over and dragged him into the flower garden.

In the Shihua Garden, singing and dancing flourished. On the high platform on the first floor, four dancers held pipa and danced gracefully. Their bodies were graceful and their bodies were looming, which made your mouth dry.

Gentlemen, please come in. Is there any girl you like?

As soon as the two people walked in, a woman with heavy makeup came forward, holding a fan, looking at the two people, and said with a smile on her face.

It's your first time here. Stop talking nonsense and find two stewards. My brother doesn't like the ordinary rouge and gouache. The money is indispensable for you.

Li Ziye proudly took out a large ingot of silver and put it into the woman's hand, saying arrogantly.

The young master is really generous!

Hua Gu looked at the silver in her hand and smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She looked back and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Quickly, let Xinghua and Lihua come down to entertain the distinguished guests!"

Apricot blossom, pear blossom?

When Li Ziye heard these two names, he almost burst into tears.

Why don't you come up with a stage name?

Brother Li!

On the side, Bai Wangyu looked at the scenes of Yingying and Yanyan around him, his face was sweating nervously, and he said, "Let's go."

What's the rush?

Li Ziye took the former to sit down at an empty table and said with a smile, it's not easy to come here, but I have to relax before going back.

Sir, here we come!

At this time, two gorgeous women came down from the second floor. Their voluptuous figures almost broke their waists with every step they took.

You two gentlemen, let’s take a look. What do you think?

Hua Gu pulled the two girls forward and said with a smile.

Qing Guanren?

Li Ziye looked at the two coquettish women in front of him and asked with suspicion.

Don't worry, young master, she is definitely a big girl who has not yet bloomed.

Hua Gu said with a smile on her face.

Hearing this, Li Ziye looked suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't ruin his business. He glanced at the two women, then pointed to the little red riding hood beside him, grinned and said, "Two sisters, please accompany me."

My dear brother, I cannot live without your money.

yes.

Hearing this, Xinghua and Lihua looked at each other and immediately sat next to Bai Wangyu, leaning against him like a water snake.

Two girls, no, it is against etiquette and law for a man and a woman to accept each other without being intimate.

Surrounded by two women, Bai Wangyu was on pins and needles, dodging while speaking in panic.

Li Ziye felt even better when he saw this.

You, a guy who keeps a calm face every day, must be panicking now.

Other people’s children also have this day!

Ha ha!

Li Ziye felt more and more cheerful and couldn't help but laugh.

Master, what about you, don’t you find a girl to accompany you?

Hua Gu saw that the one in front of her was the God of Wealth, and the smile on her heavily made-up face became more complimentary and she asked.

There's no rush, just wait.

Li Ziye grinned and said, I heard that Yu Qingxuan, the courtesan in the capital who is good at playing piano and dancing, will come to the Flower Garden to perform tonight. I wonder if it is true?

Indeed.

Hua Gu smiled and said, Miss Qingxuan is already on the way and will probably arrive soon.

That's good.

Li Ziye responded, then picked up the wine glass and drank quietly, unwilling to say anything more.

When Hua Gu saw this, she was very sensible and didn't bother her any more. She winked at the two women at the table and signaled to serve the distinguished guests well, then turned and left.

The first floor was getting more and more lively. Apparently, besides Li Ziye, many people had also heard the news that Fairy Qingxuan was coming to the Flower Garden tonight.

As a famous oiran in the great merchant capital, Yu Qingxuan's identity is extremely mysterious, and no one knows his background. Ever since he shocked the world with his stunning dance at the oiran competition three years ago, the nobles in the entire capital have gone crazy for it.

Even if all the money is spent, it will be difficult to capture the smile of a beautiful woman.

On the second floor, in the private rooms, all the most distinguished guests in the capital were sitting, also waiting for Yu Qingxuan to show up.

On the third floor of Shihuayuan, there was only one person, wearing a silver-gray broad robe and a long cloak. He looked at the people below, his handsome face showing no trace of emotion.

Little brother!

Li Qingzhi stared at the young figure on the first floor, his indifferent expression showed a rare hint of gentleness, and disappeared immediately after a moment.

It was natural to come here on the day when Yu Qingxuan showed up at the Garden of Flowers, and it would not arouse other people's suspicions.

bite!

At this moment, a piano sound like fairy music sounded on the second floor, and with just one sound, the entire Shihua Garden fell silent.

She was crying and complaining, her voice was urgent, on the second floor, in the private room facing the stairs, the bead curtain was swaying, and a beautiful figure was looming. Just a glimpse, and it was hard to forget that alluring face.

Dressed in green, with tied hair, picturesque eyebrows, and a temperament like orchid, she is like a Xuannv who has been relegated to the mortal world, without the slightest aura of worldliness.

Gradually, on the second floor, the sound of the piano became faster and faster, like a silver bottle exploding, and thousands of troops galloping past.

good!

On the first floor, all the guests were so mesmerized that they cheered loudly unconsciously.

House of Flying Daggers?

Li Ziye was startled at first, then curled his lips, and complained in a low voice that he played the pipa in a mediocre way, and he had to use the guqin to play the pipa well.

Keng!

The sound of the piano stopped instantly, like clothes being torn, so abruptly.

On the first floor, all the guests were stunned and fell silent instantly.

So, Li Ziye complained in a low voice for everyone to hear.

Behind the bead curtain on the second floor, Yu Qingxuan suddenly stood up and looked at the young man who was attracting attention on the first floor, with a look of shock on his face.

It's him!

What kind of young boy doesn't know the music and dares to speak nonsense here?

On the first floor, many wealthy children heard someone slandering the fairy in their hearts and angrily rebuked them.

Don’t pretend to understand even if you don’t understand, and don’t be afraid of flashing your tongue!

Does anyone know who this is? It’s not embarrassing!

Where is the boy? Throw him out!

One person complained, and everyone agreed. Suddenly, curses and reprimands could be heard in the lobby on the first floor. It was obvious that Li Ziye's previous evaluation of Fairy Qingxuan's piano skills had aroused public outrage.

On the second floor, sneers also rang out from the private rooms, looking at the strange young man on the first floor who had caused public outrage, with a look of amusement on his face.

What kind of young boy is this? He really dares to say anything.

Your Highness, he is the third young master of the Li family.

In one of the boxes, a feminine voice sounded, reminding.

Oh? The legitimate son of the Li family?

Behind the half-covered gauze curtain, a man who looked about thirty years old spoke in a curious tone.

The man looked very ordinary, obviously a little more ordinary than the other princes of Dashang. He had a thick blanket covering his knees, and he seemed to have some problems with his legs and feet.

The eldest prince, Mu Yuan, was born with disabled legs and could only rely on a wheelchair to move around. If he were born from an ordinary concubine, such a prince would have no chance of inheriting the throne.

However, the eldest prince's mother-in-law has a prominent family background and is the eldest son of the royal family, so even though she is disabled, there are still many people who follow her.

Behind Mu Yuan is an older eunuch named Zhao Jie. He has followed Mu Yuan for more than ten years and is a well-known expert in the royal family.

Your Highness, will you use an old slave to summon him? Zhao Jie asked.

No need for now.

Mu Yuan shook his head and said, wait and see what happens. I also want to see what is different about this legitimate son of the Li family.

yes!
