Seeing the group of people on the official road getting closer and closer, Xiao Quan and others lowered their heads deeply, and Lu Xiangjun also tightened her body. Although she also wanted to see what the person who could write the Qingyu Case looked like, but
If that person is the emperor...
Well, it’s better not to give it up, right?
As a group of people came closer, they naturally moved forward unimpeded.
It's just that Xiao Quan and others were a bit strange, which made Li Po take a second look.
There were many smart people around the emperor, and someone immediately came up to ask questions.
I heard that he was a descendant of some big families in Chang'an. He happened to be stopped when he was traveling here.
Li Po didn't pay much attention, but Yao Qian next to him whispered, "It's the Lu family here?"
Yao Qian is a southerner, born in the Yao family of Poyang. When the Tang army conquered Jiangling, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Later, he was sent to Chang'an with the Liang Kingdom and was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry at the end of last year.
He doesn't have much to do except supervise the construction of Chang'an Maritime Academy for the Ministry of Works, so he talks very little.
He is a typical southern civil servant, who has written quite a lot, but being an official seems more like his side job.
Before, the entourage was silent and silent, but now his eyes are wide open. The man in his fifties seems to have seen the bride's groom, and his eyes are shining.
Lu Xiangjun has been famous in Jiangxia for many years for her outstanding piano skills. Yao Qian was an official in Jiangling, so he naturally recognized her. He had also heard that Lu Xiangjun had arrived in Chang'an before, but he did not expect to see her here.
If you meet a famous prostitute like Lu Xiangjun in Jiangling, you can put aside other things. If you can't chat for a few words, or even sit and listen to good news, you will definitely regret it and be unable to sleep after you go back.
It's a pity that this is Chang'an, the territory of the Kansai people. Most of them are not very interested in art because of their rough temperament, and they don't tolerate officials who are too dissolute.
Yao Qian was greatly excited and realized the environment he was in, but he still attracted the attention of others.
Li Po was not very satisfied with Yao Qian. He walked all the way from the city and this man didn't say a few words. His accent was a bit difficult to understand. He looked confused and didn't look like a person who could get things done.
It seems that Yun Dingxing is a little drifting, and even his sense of smell for flattery has deteriorated a lot...
……………………
A group of men and women stood on the side of the road. After the light rain, they were all very wet. Although they looked very embarrassed, they looked like they were not ordinary people in their rich clothes.
"Who are you, Mr. Lu?"
Yao Qian's voice attracted everyone's attention. There were not many people in the world who could be called everyone. Only those who reached the pinnacle in the fields of literature and art could be called everyone.
Yan Shigu couldn't help but ask.
Yao Qian knew that he had lost his composure. After serving as an official for many years, he sold Lu Xiangjun without hesitation.
"I didn't expect to see an old friend of Jiangling here. The name of Lu Xiangjun, a famous prostitute in Jiangling, is well known to all women and children in Jiangxia. Her music is wonderful and she can be called a master of the piano. I heard that she came to Chang'an a few days ago, and I wanted to visit her.
Ichiban, I didn't expect to meet Dao Zuo by chance..."
Seeing him shaking his head and not finishing his words, everyone had a smile on their lips.
Li Po couldn't help but smile, thinking that you are fifty or sixty years old, but you still have the heart to look for flowers and willows. You are really getting stronger with age, I admire you.
It seems that Xiao Xian was not unjustly defeated. Take a look at these Liang officials. What are they thinking about all day long?
Lu Xiangjun... this name is very familiar. He seems to have heard it twice, and the name of a prostitute has reached his ears, which shows that his reputation is really not small.
The latest time it seemed that Mrs. Cheng Guo invited him to listen to the piano in the mansion...
Thinking of this, he became interested. He had never seen a legendary creature like a famous prostitute, and he had not visited a brothel yet. He had always been curious about it. Now he would meet a famous prostitute and see. No matter how elegant you are, it's pretty good.
Men, from ancient times to the present, have a virtue...
So he reined in the horse, and the whole team slowly came to a halt.
He led his horse directly to the crowd and looked at them one by one, trying to find the most unique person as if they were guessing a riddle.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, and many rumors came to mind. Is the emperor tempted again? It seems that there was another Shen Jieyu in the palace recently. She was also a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor once wrote a poem for her. Woolen cloth……
Gossip about the emperor has always spread quickly, and his every move can affect people's hearts. Even though Li Po thought he was very restrained, the emperor's lustful reputation continued to spread, and the scope of the spread became wider and wider.
This one is definitely not it. She has a voluptuous figure (a bit fat), and her eyes and brows are all charming. She is too provocative and does not fit the image of a famous prostitute in his mind.
This one is not the same. One look at the face and you can tell that she is a Kansai girl. She may not be the daughter of some family. She is very graceful...
Looking at each woman in turn, Li Po began to have a conflict in his heart. He finally realized that his behavior was inappropriate. With so many eyes looking at her, he carefully looked at the woman's face and posture. There might be many rumors about her in the future.
Fortunately, there were not many people around. When he saw the exquisite woman huddled to one side, like a quail in winter, he immediately found his target.
Southern women are actually easy to identify. They are generally short in stature, have fair and delicate skin, tall foreheads and big eyes, and graceful expressions. When you see them, you feel like you are seeing a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
………………
Lu Xiangjun raised her head and took a look. When she met the curious and inquiring gaze, she immediately lowered her head and her heart stopped for two beats.
Condescending and full of majesty... it was like a sharp arrow that instantly penetrated her body.
She had imagined similar situations many times before. After meeting so many dignitaries, she did not think that the emperor could be much smarter than those people.
But in fact, no matter how weak and incompetent the emperor is, he is still an emperor. Compared with other people, he is a completely different creature.
Especially to ordinary people, the emperor is more like a god than a human being.
Li Po looked up and down at the violinist from the south, his curiosity was somewhat satisfied, and he imagined what kind of piano sound could be called wonderful.
He has no knowledge of music, so of course he is confused.
I thought in my heart, The Holy Hand of the Qin? Humph, it's nothing more than this. I don't even dare to raise my head when I see the emperor. Where is your nobleness and integrity among everyone?
She is small and exquisite, which is rare in Chang'an. It's quite fun to look at.
"Are you Mr. Lu Xiang? Are you from Jiangling?"
Lu Xiangjun shivered involuntarily, but she still managed to calm down. After all, she was someone who had seen big scenes.
He bowed low and saluted, "I dare not deceive the Supreme Being. My name is Lu Sheng, and Mr. Lu Xiang is just my pseudonym."
Li Po wanted to ask her how old she was. She was so famous at such a young age that even an old man in his fifties was so excited to see her.
Take a look at Yan Liben next to him. Well, this guy is not very old. Judging from his squinting look, he probably wants to get acquainted with him.
She is indeed a famous prostitute...
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't control my curiosity and thirst for knowledge. I said, "I am traveling here, and it is fate that we meet by chance. Would you like to play a song for me?"
This is nonsense. A famous prostitute is not a courteous minister. How can she refuse the emperor's invitation?
"The Supreme Lord has a command, and the slave dare not disobey. I am just afraid that my skills will not be able to reach the ears of the Supreme Being."
Li Po waved his hand and said no more... What he was thinking about was that if such an action spreads out, it should be a good story, right? It won't turn into a joke about the emperor raping a common girl...
Alas, the position of emperor is troublesome. If it were replaced by a rich man, he could just throw money at it, and there wouldn't be so many people talking about it.
He thought coquettishly and took the horse away. Those young people from well-known families were no different from the air in his eyes.
Someone from the attendants immediately came over to ask the young lady to get on the horse and accompany her. Mr. Lu Xiang was an average equestrian, but fortunately he could ride. He took the Yao Qin from the maid's arms and almost fell off his horse. He looked a bit ridiculous.
The attendant immediately supported her, took Qin over, and carefully protected her by her side, probably because he was afraid that the little lady would fall to death and injure his neck.
……………………
Xiao Quan watched helplessly as his sweetheart walked further and further away, his eye circles gradually turned red, and he wanted to cry. He didn't dare to say anything bad, but in his heart he was already cursing that the emperor was nothing.
Several so-called friends also calmed down, and did not take care of Xiao Quan's mood, nor did they make fun of him. They just whispered that the trip was worthwhile, and they had another topic to talk about afterwards.
The emperor was not far away to them, it was just hard to see. There was nothing unusual about him, but if the emperor got involved with famous prostitutes, it would be a good topic among the nobles.
Only the daughter of the Dugu family was a little depressed. She was actually outcompeted by a prostitute. The emperor really had no taste. Prostitutes can only entertain people, but the girls of their Dugu family can help people achieve great things. As an emperor, how could he do that?
So obsessed with beauty that you didn't even look at her?
Huh, Hunjun...
………………
Li Po did not have the consciousness of Huanjun. After walking a short distance, they entered the construction site and stopped and looked around. Yan Liben took out the engineering drawings he drew himself and pointed to the emperor to explain what was going to be built here.
What, what is going to be built there?
Everyone has entered into a working state, which is similar to the leader's inspection later. It doesn't have much substantive significance to just look at the details, but it can make the project proceed smoothly.
As for the emperor catching a famous prostitute on the way, everyone tacitly kept silent about it. People like Wei Zheng were thinking about whether to give an admonishment later. It was a good admonishment topic, but I didn't know what it would be.
It won't make the emperor angry.
More and more people are joining the team, but only a few can go to the emperor's side.
Ma Zhou brought people over. He has lived here since the construction of Chang'an Maritime Academy started. King Wu Du Fuwei only came here occasionally, so Ma Zhou became his representative and supervised the progress of the project.
In other words, Ma Zhou is now a foreman and can take care of everything. Whether others listen to him or not is up to him.
