Zhao Huan never imagined that he would encounter one of the most mysterious and legendary women in the Song Dynasty in this way.
Li Shishi was extremely famous in Bianjing. He was not only the target of competition among the nobles, but also had ambiguous relationships with several "prominent" big shots.
Both Liangshan hero Yan Qing and Song Jiang had favored her.
But these are not worth mentioning. Even His Majesty, Zhao Huan's biological father, has a soft spot for Li Shishi. There are even rumors that Zhao Ji once recruited Li Shishi into the palace and canonized him as Concubine Li Ming.
However, this is an unofficial record and its authenticity cannot be tested.
As for the cause of Li Shishi's death, there are even more divergent opinions. Some people say that she died for her country, while others say that she died of old age in seclusion, or that she was abducted by the Jin people and headed north.
Because of the mystery of her origin and cause of death, as well as her flourishing life, Li Shishi became a veritable wonder woman of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Huan calmed down, and when he looked at Master Li again, his eyes were no longer as hostile as before.
After all, Li Shishi was not a member of Cai Jing's party.
"No wonder Master Li is so confident. It turns out that the current His Majesty is standing behind him."
Li Shishi had long expected that Zhao Huan had no one to block, so he asked all the singers to leave in advance.
In the end, he still underestimated Zhao Huan's courage to reveal her background so brazenly.
"As expected of the prince, he is indeed very courageous."
"Since the prince knows that His Majesty is standing behind Hongyan Pavilion, I wonder if he can be independent from the Jiaofang Division?"
"Does the prince not even give His Majesty the face?"
Hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel funny, and asked instead of answering: "Does Pavilion Master Li think that with His Majesty's favor, he can be confident?"
"Then you are too naive."
"I would like to ask you a question, as the head of the Jiaofang Department, why should I be afraid of you, a little pervert?"
"The current Queen Xiansu is my adoptive mother. Do I need to care about you, a singer with a dishonest reputation?"
If Zhao Huan gave in easily today, Li Shishi would feel strange.
After all, the prince in front of him was the craziest prince in the Song Dynasty.
and……
Zhao Huan is right. With the support of Queen Xiansu, no woman in the world can even think of being as tall as Zhao Huan.
However, she was not afraid of the oppression shown by Zhao Huan.
Since I can't stand firm, I turn to arguing with reason.
"The prince keeps saying that the slave family is a sex household, which is clearly slandering the reputation of the slave family!"
"Who said Hongyan Hall is Fireworks and Willow Alley? This is a literary club!"
"Ever since the prince gave the order, Hongyan Pavilion only sells laughter and not sex. All the guests who come here are princes, nobles, literati and celebrities."
“Is it right to recite poetry but also to be arty?”
Zhao Huan couldn't help but suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xiao Yan'er came here to make trouble. He wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and spend a small amount of money to do big things.
As long as the Red Swallow Hall is occupied, the literary club will fall into place.
This move is smart, but a bit unkind.
If Zhao Huanli hadn't made the mistake first, how could he have wasted such words with Li Shishi?
"The literary society is naturally innocent, but can you withstand the investigation?"
Faced with Zhao Huan's tough attitude, Master Li smiled sweetly: "The slave family is not afraid of shadows. As long as someone is not deliberately framed and framed, even if the six ministries and nine temples jointly investigate and investigate, the slave family will not be afraid."
In this case, Zhao Huan would like to investigate the Hongyan Pavilion.
If it is like what Li Shishi said, there is only arty elegance and no wine pools and meat forests, it would be okay even if she is allowed to run her business independently.
But if she is acting against the will and selling dog meat, even if His Majesty supports her, Zhao Huan will never tolerate it.
"I will come again tonight. Whether it is true or not, you will know at a glance."
"Go and bring Xiao Yan'er out, I am going back to the palace."
Li Shishi's eyes moved slightly: "If today's incident comes to His Majesty's ears, the prince will naturally not be affected in any way, but Xiao Yan'er and other singers may be in trouble."
"Isn't the prince coming again at night? Then take the people away at night!"
"Magnolia, see you off!"
Li Shishi's sudden change of expression caught Zhao Huan off guard.
Li Yulan twisted her waist and came to Zhao Huan, raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, with a proud smile on her face.
It seems to be saying, so what about the prince, aren't you going to hit a wall in front of our owner?
"Please, Your Majesty."
"The slaves have been busy all night and are very tired. We should take a good rest while there is still time."
"If the prince doesn't leave, the slave family will have to undress and take off his belt. Hahaha, the prince comes to the slave family's boudoir and can do as he pleases."
Li Yulan was so charming that if she said she didn't sell herself, she wouldn't believe it even if she beat Zhao Huan to death.
But seeing Master Li being so confident, Zhao Huan couldn't help but wonder, is there really such a pure land in Bianjing?
"never mind."
Zhao Huan no longer hesitated, whether it was a mule or a horse, let him take it out for a walk tonight.
Chen Zhao, who had been waiting outside the door, saw Zhao Huan finally coming out, and immediately came forward with a face full of joy.
"Your Majesty, how is it in Hongyan Pavilion?"
"The average man here can't stand it."
"Of course, the prince is not an ordinary person. I don't think those gangsters would dare to do anything wrong in front of the prince."
Finding that Zhao Huan came out alone, the smile on Chen Zhao's face couldn't help but disappear.
"Where are Xiao Yan'er and the others? Is it possible that even the prince has hit a wall?"
Zhao Huan was so angry when he saw Chen Zhao that he grabbed his collar.
"Damn it, you are really unreliable. At such a critical moment, you sold me out without hesitation."
"How can I trust you when I encounter a strong enemy in the future?"
Facing Zhao Huan's scolding, Chen Zhao looked aggrieved: "It's unfair. I just saw that the prince was working too hard and let you go in and enjoy yourself."
Enjoy you uncle!
Zhao Huan's face dropped and he said angrily: "You can just look at it but not touch it. How can you enjoy it?"
"Besides, I personally ordered that the singers in the city are not allowed to sell themselves. Is it possible that I will take the lead in breaking the rules?"
Chen Zhao actually laughed evilly: "My subordinate said that he was reciting poems to compose poetry, which was arty. Where did the prince want to go?"
"It's so tacky to sell one's body without selling one's body."
Zhao Huan's eyes showed fierce murderous intent: "Let's not mention this, why didn't you tell me earlier that the owner of Hongyan Pavilion is Master Li?!"
"Do you know the relationship between this woman and His Majesty?"
Chen Zhao nodded like a fool: "Who in the entire Bianjing city doesn't know the relationship between Li Shishi and His Majesty?"
"But besides the prince, who else can fish out Xiao Yan'er?"
Zhao Huan was so angry that he kicked Chen Zhao on the butt: "Damn, aren't you usually very smart? Why are you starting to act stupid now?"
"Even if I don't come, Master Li will let Xiao Yan'er and the others go without any difficulty."
"As soon as this king comes, things will become more complicated!"
