Chapter Seventy-Six: Twenty Strikes with a Cane

The sleepless merchant got up early in the morning, and after carefully grooming under Fu'er's service, he stayed quietly in Changyin Garden, waiting for what Li Zhi said that she needed her cooperation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if Li Zhi's description was not particularly clear when he told her, the merchant could probably guess what would happen. If Yu Wenjing can be withdrawn, then the trouble that Li Zhi designed for himself will definitely not be small, otherwise he will not be able to achieve the purpose of distracting Yu Wenjing.

The merchant paced back and forth in the hut of Changyin Yuan in a restless manner, and even the breakfast brought in by Fu'er was only placed on the table and gradually cooled down, and a handkerchief twisted and twisted in his hand, almost twisted into a twisted flower.

When I finally got through the hour, the sky gradually brightened, and there was a sound in the front yard. The merchant hurriedly urged Fu'er to take a look.

After about half a cup of tea, Fu'er came back with a smile and told Shang Shang that the prince had sent someone to invite Shang Shang and other musicians from Changyin Yuan to go to the prince's east palace to play music and dance.

Due to the aftermath of the broken beam incident in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the palace had finally recovered from the sacrifice of the eldest grandson and the empress, and the concubines in the palace had not summoned musicians and kabuki to play for a long time due to the emperor's anger. This time, the prince opened this head, maybe the palace will be lively again.

"Susle! You take Fu'er, and Fu'er will help you hold the piano! ”

Fu'er looked at Shang Shang with an expectant face, the palace was cold, she really wanted to go to the banquet in the East Palace to see the excitement, even if it was just to hold a piano, she could secretly watch some songs and dances on the side, right?

Shang Shang looked at Fu'er with some contradictions, Fu'er is just a child's heart, and she wants to go and see the excitement, but going to the Prince's East Palace today is only afraid that there will be no good banquet for her, and Fu'er will be affected when she follows her?

"Fu'er---- you will follow me, you can't talk nonsense when you get to the East Palace, if you are taboo, you will be punished!"

Looking at Fu'er's pleading, Shang Shang finally couldn't bear to throw her down, thinking that Li Zhi was not the kind of person who would harm innocents, so he let her go.

The merchant took Fu'er out of the door, and Benhui and his colleagues who were going to the East Palace together walked out of the gate of Changyin Garden.

Li Zhi would make such a big fanfare, which she really didn't expect. But he probably had his reasons for doing so! Shang Shang thought that only in this way would the news of her denunciation spread more easily and be known by Yu Wenjing, so that he would naturally know about it, it would be more natural than sending the news to the door to make people suspicious, right?

The merchant walked to the front of the Chongfu Gate between the chatters and laughter of his colleagues, and under the guidance of the eunuch guarding the door, he walked into the East Palace where the prince Li Zhi lived.

In addition to the night visit a few days ago, this is the first time that businessmen enter the East Palace during the day, from the various shapes of the palace, it seems to be a miniature version of the appearance of the Taiji Palace, many halls are no different from the Taiji Palace, but the level is a little worse.

The East Palace of the Prince is located on the easternmost side of the entire Taiji Palace, and the gate of the East Palace is the Chongfu Gate, and the merchants and businessmen enter the East Palace from this gate. The glazed tiles here are not as dazzling as the yellow glaze, and it is said that this is to make the prince always remember the people of the world, so he replaced the glazed tiles with the grass green that represents the people, and whoever lives in the East Palace is also like this.

Fu'er, who was following the merchants, looked left and right happily, and the merchants walking in front of him unconsciously looked solemn.

Under the leadership of the eunuchs, the musicians walked into the music hall of the East Palace, which was the hall opened up by Li Zhi for banquets. At this time, there were already many dignitaries and nobles sitting on this beautifully decorated hall, and the merchants glanced at it, and saw the figures of Fang Zhizhi and Fang Yiai's brothers among the scattered people.

And Li Zhi, who was dressed in regular clothes, was in the main position at this time, condescendingly looking at the businessmen and others who were rushing in.

Sandwiched in the crowd and saluted Li Zhi, Shang Shang followed the flow to the edge of the hall, sat down in the place prepared for the musicians, and quietly adjusted the strings of the zither, even if her palms were already nervous and cold sweat, she tried her best to calm her emotions.

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Li Zhi clapped his palms, and the eunuchs and palace maids guarding the door sent in the tray in their hands and arranged exquisite snacks for everyone who was sitting.

To say that Li Zhi has been thinking about this day for a long time, but August 15 is just right. The fifteenth is mid-autumn, although at this time it is not like the Mid-Autumn Festival in later generations, but it also has the name of a banquet, so that he can use the topic to play, find a mistake in businessmen, and ask her justifiably.

Seeing Shang Shang sit down safely, Li Zhi's eyes swept over her body, at this time, he didn't want to attract too many people's attention, which would make him appear deliberate.

Fang Yiai noticed her as soon as the merchant entered the door.

This woman, who used to be the Oiran of Luoyang, has been in office for too short a time, so that he, the self-proclaimed "Holy Hand of the Flower Bush", did not take advantage of half of it, which made him very unhappy. But because of the face of the Li family of Wei Guogong and the current identity of the businessman, he could only watch dryly, at this time, seeing the businessman Liu waist swinging into the hall, the fire in his heart couldn't help but arch one by one, and he wanted to find an outlet to vent out!

After pouring two glasses of wine fiercely, Fang Yiai's eyes slashed viciously at Shang Shang's snow-white chest, eager to look her into his stomach, so he reluctantly turned his head away. No way! Form is stronger than people!

Li Zhi was in a high position, quietly watching Fang Yiai's performance, his eyes showed slight disdain, if it weren't for Fang Yiai's vital role in today's plan, he would never have put this person on the table.

"Everyone! Today is mid-autumn, it is rare for you to have leisure to my East Palace, it is better to drink this cup to pray for a good year! Li Zhi raised his wine glass in the main seat and congratulated him from afar, and the people sitting below immediately picked up the glasses in front of them and echoed them.

At this time, the job of musicians such as Shang Shang was only to play some background music at the side of the hall, and they were also happy, and on such occasions, musicians like them could only be a background.

After three rounds of drinking, the dignitaries and nobles under the seat let go of some restraints. The crown prince has always been known for his benevolence, and they have never been as afraid of this prince as the emperor, and some people of his age have always felt that he is very kind.

Fang Yiai stood up with a cup, looked at the prince sitting at the top, and there were already some red threads in his eyes. Since his father went, Fang Yi's love went to the emperor's tomb to bury his father, which had just turned around, and his long-term vegetarianism and lack of proximity to women had already made him extremely impatient.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! The minister has heard for a long time that Su Lanxin has the appearance of a celestial man, why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince order her to perform a song for us? Sandwiched by three points of wine, Fang Yiai looked in the direction of the merchant unrelentingly.

Listening to Fang Yuai's words, the businessmen sitting by the window on the edge of the hall jumped slightly: here! Looking at Li Zhi's gaze, it seems that this Fang bereavement seems to have become a part of Li Zhi's plan?! Should she wait for Li Zhi's performance now?

"Since the beloved brother is interested, this prince thinks he is perfect!" Li Zhi put down the wine cup in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, but the expression in his eyes was a little unpredictable.

"Susle! Now that Lord Fang is very fond of your Maiko, you can perform a song in this hall! ”

Li Zhi looked at Shang Shang with something inexplicable flashing in his eyes, Shang Shang looked at Li Zhi for a long time, and was a little unsure of his thoughts, should she obey orders?

When the merchant was hesitating and didn't know whether to obey the order, Fang Yizhi, who was sitting next to Fang Yiai, opened his mouth.

"Beloved! You're drunk, sit down! ”

Since the death of his father, the Fang family's favor in front of the emperor has not been as good as before, this businessman has always been rumored to be a woman favored by the prince, and it is really unwise for Fang Yiai to open his mouth to make things difficult at this time.

"I'm not drunk! Has this feast just begun? How can you get drunk so quickly? ”

Fang Yiai waved away his brother's arm that was pulling at him, and simply got up and walked towards Shang Shang, he wanted to see if this cheap woman dared to refuse him in front of this hall!

Li Zhi sat on the throne and was noncommittal. Fang Yiai's love really deserves to be Fang's love! In such a situation, he can blatantly covet the woman in the palace like this, but I am afraid that he is also the first! A smile appeared at the corner of Li Zhi's mouth.

Shang Shang saw Fang Yiai walking towards her, but she could only look at Li Zhi hesitantly, now she needs Li Zhi's signal, as long as he gives her a look, she can understand what she should do.

"Susle! You wouldn't mind performing a song and dance for your pony! ”

Fang Yiai looked at the beauty close at hand, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, such a shallot-like sprout, he didn't believe that Li Zhi didn't stretch out his hand to her! He leaned forward, his head almost touching the merchant's chest, and his mouth full of alcohol spewed unscrupulously into the merchant's face with a breath that made him want to vomit.

When Fang Yiai had already come to Shang Shang's side, the businessman's long-awaited eyes glanced at her belatedly, and Li Zhi nodded at Shang Shang's undetectable lips and shook his head.

"Respect yourself, ponty!"

The merchant who received the information stood up without hesitation, stretched out an arm and quickly pushed it towards Fang Yiai. Whatever the reason, Fang Yiai didn't have any good feelings for her.

Fang Yiai, who drank two glasses of wine, didn't react to the merchant's refusal at all, only felt a strong force hitting his chest and abdomen, and Fang Yiai, who didn't have time to react, "Oh, oh! took a few steps back, and was pushed firmly by the weak woman of Shangshang, a powerless chicken, in front of everyone!

The hall was silent for a while, and all the people who had been waiting to see the joke were stunned. None of them thought that the merchant would embarrass the horse in such a way, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"You slut!" Fang Yiai roared angrily.

It wasn't until he sat on the ground that Fang Yiai reacted, in such a big audience, this cheap woman actually made him lose such a big face!

Annoyed and angry, Fang Yiai got up and rushed to the place where Shang Shang was standing. But before he could rush closer, he heard a cool voice.

"Someone! Drag this disrespectful woman out and beat her with a cane for twenty and put her in prison! Li Zhi propped his head with one hand and waved his hand indifferently.

Shang Shang looked at Li Zhi on the main throne with a relieved smile on his face. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
