Li Shishi sat opposite Zhao Huan, with his beautiful eyes looking at the man in front of him again, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It is rumored that the prince is violent, manic, and crazy. He is the most terrifying person in Bianjing City."
"But in the eyes of the slave family, the prince is the most upright gentleman in Bianjing City."
"Since I have become united with the princess forever, I will never be interested in other women. This kind of self-purity and self-love should be learned from the nobles."
Facing Li Shishi's praises, Zhao Huan accepted them all with a smile, but in his heart he wanted to slap himself twice.
You are a gentleman, and your whole family is a gentleman!
"Magnolia, bring the wine!"
"Sister, here we come!"
Hearing Master Li's call, Li Yulan opened the door, held the wine bottle, and walked down the stairs with a very surprised expression.
The eight singers of Hongyan Pavilion also opened the door one after another, holding wine glasses or fruit baskets, and gathered around Zhao Huan like butterflies.
Li Yulan looked at Zhao Huan with extremely bright eyes.
"Your Majesty, today is really an eye-opener for the slave family."
"There are countless people in Bianjing who claim to be gentlemen, but most of them are people who are just fishing for fame and reputation, and whose lust makes them stupid."
"Although the prince has a reputation for being vicious, he is a true gentleman."
"First of all, I would like to offer a toast to the prince on behalf of my sister."
Li Yulan filled up the wine, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp. She placed the empty wine glass on the table and looked at Zhao Huan eagerly, with affection between her brows.
It's a pity that the prince has already married.
Zhao Huan was now riding a tiger and was unable to get off. He finally relied on cruel and decisive methods to gain a foothold in Bianjing.
As a result, he accidentally became a bullshit gentleman.
The play still had to go on, so Zhao Huan could only bite the bullet, flick his long hair, recall the aura that a sour scholar should have, and put on a calm posture.
"What's wrong with being a gentleman? Isn't it right to respect women?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the girls suddenly shone and their little faces turned red. Even if they wanted to break their heads, they could not imagine that the top dignitary in Bianjing could be so upright and without any corrupt habits.
Master Li was also greatly surprised. He covered his mouth with his sleeves and praised, "With just these words, the slave family is willing to make friends with the prince."
After saying that, Master Li also picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The singer who was waiting beside him quickly filled it up.
As a prince, Zhao Huan naturally does not have to drink with them.
"What a coincidence, I stayed here to drink because I wanted to make friends with Master Li."
"Since you are affectionate and I am righteous, wouldn't we hit it off right away?"
As a singer, Li Shishi naturally has a good capacity for drinking, but her cheeks turned slightly red at this moment. She didn't know whether it was because she was drunk too much or because she was provoked by Zhao Huan.
"Hehehe, you are affectionate and I am righteous."
"The prince is so good at teasing people's hearts. He is obviously serious, but the words he says are embarrassing."
"Since you and I are already close friends, the slave family will point it out directly. I don't expect the prince to blame the slave family."
Li Shishi nodded slightly, and Li Yulan understood and left directly with the singers.
As for Xiao Yan'er and others, they are Zhao Huan's people, so there is no need to retreat.
"The slave family has guessed at least half of the prince's intentions."
"What Xiao Yan'er calls a literary society is actually the prince's eyes and ears, right?"
As expected of Master Li, he is indeed smart!
Zhao Huan made no secret and admitted: "Yes, I lack everything now, but what I lack most is a stable source of information."
"Everyone in Bianjing who is capable, powerful, and wealthy will keep a respectful distance from me."
"Even military information from Yizhou must first pass through the Ministry of War before it can be conveyed to my king's ears."
"As long as the Ministry of War does a little bit of manipulation, my eyes and ears will be blocked, and the consequences will be disastrous."
“Only when you are well-informed can you stay one step ahead.”
Seeing how open-minded Zhao Huan was, Master Li's smile became even stronger. He raised his glass and took another gulp.
It was said that they were drinking together, but in fact, Master Li was drinking, but Zhao Huan didn't touch a drop of wine.
"The prince is not only ambitious, but also extremely meticulous and meticulous in his thoughts. However, he does not have the slightest bit of benevolence as a woman. He is decisive and capable in his actions, leaving no room for breathing."
"No wonder even the Duke and Prime Minister don't dare to break up with you easily."
"Your Majesty didn't take back the Hongyan Pavilion. Did he plan to let the slave family help you establish this so-called literary society?"
Zhao Huan likes to talk to smart people, and he can speak clearly. Li Shishi is obviously this kind of person.
"That's right!"
"With Master Li's reputation in Bianjing, what kind of news can he not get?"
"In exchange, I can continue to strictly inspect the sex households in Bianjing. In this way, all guests will gather at the Hongyan Pavilion."
"I will get valuable information, and you will make a lot of money. Isn't it a win-win situation?"
Master Li leaned on the wine table, holding his chin, thoughtfully.
This scene of a slightly tipsy beauty under the lamp made even Zhao Huan feel a surge of energy and blood.
But he is here to talk things over tonight, and he still has some self-control.
Li Shishi held his chin in deep thought, not really thinking about anything, but deliberately stretching Zhao Huan, waiting for Zhao Huan to speak on his own.
As expected by Master Li, Zhao Huan took the initiative to point it out.
"Master Li and Your Majesty are also close friends, and they secretly cooperate with me. If His Majesty finds out, he will be liquidated."
"But as the saying goes, the land is as fruitful as the man is bold."
"Working with me, besides money, I can also give you what you want most."
Hearing this, Master Li's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Does the prince know what the slave family wants?"
Zhao Huan blurted out: "Identity!"
The corners of Li Shishi's mouth raised slightly: "Haha, Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. The slave family has already gained both fame and fortune, so why does it need any identity?"
Zhao Huan was still determined: "Even if you are famous in Bianjing, you are still a tool, right?"
An "object" was like a needle, piercing into Li Shishi's heart, causing pain so hard that she could hardly breathe.
No matter how famous and rich she is, she still can't get rid of her background as a singer.
In this life, she has reached the top and can only be a concubine.
The next step is to find a wealthy family to marry as a concubine.
As for the main wife? Don’t even think about it!
In the final analysis, Master Li can never control his own destiny, he can only follow the trend and be arranged by others.
Li Shishi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her expression had changed.
As the number one prostitute in the Song Dynasty, the most amazing thing about Li Shishi is that she can get along with any type of man in the most comfortable way.
To put it more bluntly, you can tell people what they say when you see them, and you can tell ghosts when you see ghosts.
Her previous generousness and talent, or her tenderness and charm just now, were all disguises, in order to cater to Zhao Huan.
I thought that Zhao Huan, like other men, had unknowingly fallen into her control.
