[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, March 14, Xushi, near Yong'an Fang in the south of Chang'an City]

Murong Yan and Li Qi disguised themselves as Murong Huan and Li Yi, and after the two of them left the gate of Tianbao Pavilion, they suddenly thought that they were in a hurry and hadn't had time to eat dinner yet!

The two of them had only walked a few dozen steps south, and Murong Yan proposed to find a restaurant to fill their stomachs first.

At this time, it is the time of unitary, the sky is still bright, the slanting sun hangs on the edge of the sky, and is reluctant to leave for a long time, Chang'an City is the public gate in the lower value, the moment when the hawkers and small traders close the stalls, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the traffic is endless. Both of them said in their hearts, even if the cat demon went out to make trouble, it would not be so early, and the top priority at the moment was naturally to eat.

Murong Yan is not like Li Qi, who often sneaks out of the palace gate under the pretext of an excuse, relying on her father's spoiling, and no one dares to blame her. However, if she herself did not have her father's permission, she would not be able to take half a step out of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. It was a rare time for her to follow Li Qi out of the cabinet today, and she was naturally extremely excited in her heart.

The two of them went out in disguise today, not so much to catch demons, but to hang around and have pure fun.

It's just that two young girls like them, in normal times, if they walk on the street, it will inevitably be inconvenient, why is it like this today, after they are disguised, one is the deputy pavilion master of the world-famous Great Qianshen King Pavilion, and the other is the second son of Tianbao Pavilion of the mighty martial arts, such two "big shots" walk together on the long street, just ask, under the whole world, who dares to touch it?!

Hearing that Murong Yan wanted to go to the restaurant for dinner, Li Qi suddenly had a whim, and immediately asked Murong Yan:

"Sister Xiaoyan, have you ever been to the Star Picking Tower?"

Murong Yan shook his head and replied, "I've heard of the Star Picking Tower, but I've never entered it!"

Li Qi said: "Then let's go to the Star Picking Tower today to enjoy a sumptuous dinner, how about it?"

Murong Yan hesitated a little: "This ...... "Wouldn't it be bad if we were disguised, but we couldn't imitate the voices, and if we were recognized, wouldn't it be bad?" she thought to herself.

Li Qi seemed to see Murong Yan's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyan, don't you take a look, who am I pretending to be? That's my third brother, the world-famous Zhao Wangye!"

Li Qi suddenly lowered his voice, and said in Li Yi's voice: "If this king arrives in the Star Picking Tower, just nod, and those who run the hall will know what this king wants to eat!"

After all, Murong Yan has a girlish nature, and seeing Li Qi so calm, she is naturally happy to follow.

In fact, she was in the boudoir, and when chatting with her personal maid Chunchun, Chunchun often said that there are two famous buildings in this Chang'an City, one is to pick up the stars, the other is to get the moon, the moon building is famous for covering a vast area, and the star picking building is famous for the high floor of Chang'an, the whole star picking building, the height of the building is up to seven floors, every diner who enters the building, according to the status of the noble and low, can only enter the floor equal to their own identity, can only go down, can not go up. Chunchun also once said that there are many descendants of famous families in the world, and they are looking forward to having the opportunity to get drunk in the Star Picking Tower in this life......

Naturally, according to Chunchun's words, after those famous families, the long-cherished wish of being able to get drunk in the Star Picking Tower is only one or two floors at most. Today, she followed behind the pretending "Li Yi", and she really wanted to see how many floors they could go up today?

With their minds decided, the two of them immediately changed their route and headed for the Taiping Fong in the north. The real Murong Huan, who naturally chased them out after them, went all the way south and finally passed by them......

When they came to the front of the Star Picking Building, the running hall of the restaurant immediately came out to greet them warmly, and before "Li Yi" spoke, Xiao Er led the two of them to the seventh floor, which was the top of the restaurant.

Murong Yan followed behind "Li Yi", climbing the stairs all the way, she looked left and right, only to feel incomparably fresh and incomparably interesting. She saw that the shopkeeper was so respectful to them, and she saw that the diners on every floor were casting envious glances at them...... This feeling is really wonderful.

When the two of them followed the shopkeeper through the wooden ladder on the sixth floor, and were about to lift their feet up to the seventh floor, they suddenly heard a shout of joy coming from the passage on the sixth floor:

"Huh?...... The third brother is here!"

With that shout, a middle-aged man dressed in fancy clothes and a noble air walked over slowly. Although the man was middle-aged, his body was unusually well maintained, and his appearance was also handsome, looking like a scholar in his twenties.

"Hmm...... It's eight...... At this time, "Li Yi", seeing the middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't think of it at this time, it was impossible, so she had to lower her voice and respond in a deep voice. However, when her words came to her mouth, she almost said "It's a starling", but fortunately, she reacted smartly, and finally changed it to "eighth brother".

Naturally, the one who dined on the sixth floor of the Star Picking Building was Li Qi's starling brother, Li Xi, the eighth prince of the Imperial King of Jin.

Li Ci was eating in the private room "Chenfeng Pavilion" on the sixth floor, he drank too much and was about to go out to the toilet, but when he saw his third brother going upstairs, he naturally hurried over and greeted "Li Yi" happily.

"Hey, Murong Gongzi is also here!" Li Ci saw that "Li Yi" was still following behind "Murong Huan", and he really felt unexpected, he hurriedly bowed to "Murong Huan" and called out affectionately. Love you eBook

"Murong Huan" also immediately hugged his fists and saluted Li Ci in return, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing that "Li Yi" didn't say much, he turned his head and was about to go upstairs, Li Ci hurriedly said: "Third brother, it's rare for our brothers to see each other, so let the eighth brother also go to your 'Dengyun Pavilion' to sit and sit?!"

I didn't want to, but "Li Yi" strode up without looking back, just waved his hand behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Don't come up!"

Li Ci had no choice but to watch "Li Yi" and "Murong Huan" go upstairs one after another, he rarely saw his third brother today, and saw that the third brother was still followed by the second son of Tianbao Pavilion, according to his original idea, he had to go up to the seventh floor anyway, and the two of them toasted each other, but the rules in this Star Picking Building, his identity can only go up to the sixth floor, if it were not for the permission of his third brother, it would be difficult for him to go up one step.

After Li Xi finished going to the toilet, he had to go back to the "Chenfeng Pavilion" and sit down. At this time, in the "Chenfeng Pavilion", in addition to Li Ci, who was in the first place, there were two other people sitting. These two people are both less than thirty years old, a Chinese face, eight-character eyebrows, white complexion, bright eyes, and a little short beard under the chin, it is the colleague Song Jinhua that Xu Ke met in the Household Department of Finance in the past, but Song Jinhua at this time has been newly appointed to the post of Langzhong of the Criminal Department. The other is long, thin-faced, dressed strangely and gorgeously, and wearing a five-colored flower crown on his head, which is Kang Youren, the eldest son of "Shuzhong Kangmen".

As soon as Li Ci sat down, Kang Youren stepped forward to pour him a full bottle of wine, and asked in a low voice, "The prince just met an acquaintance?"

Li Ci said: "It's my third brother." ”

"Lord Zhao!" Kang Youren exclaimed unconsciously, his words full of envy. It seems that the reputation of this deputy pavilion master of the Divine King Pavilion is too great, and even the "Shuzhong Kangmen" in the southwest border has been known for a long time.

"What's the matter, I heard that my third brother is coming, as for scaring you like that?" Li Xi glanced at Kang Youren with a look of disdain.

Kang Youren's face was a little embarrassed, and he replied: "It's nothing, it's just that I have heard the prestige of Prince Zhao for a long time, and when I saw Lord Zhao coming here today, I couldn't help but feel a little ...... Excited!"

Li Ci said angrily: "My third brother didn't come here to see you, you're excited!"

Song Jinhua asked, "Your Highness, King Zhao came up to drink today, is he alone?"

Li Xi said: "Next to Murong Huan of Tianbao Pavilion. ”

"Murong Huan......" Kang Youren was about to raise his glass to toast to King Jin, and when he heard this, he immediately exclaimed. There is no other reason than the fact that the reputation of these two people is too great!

Li Xi glanced at Kang Youren and didn't want to talk about him anymore.

But Kang Youren blurted out and asked, "Prince Zhao and Young Master Murong are both upstairs, why don't you go upstairs and have two drinks with them?"

Li Ci pointed to the top of his head and said impatiently: "On the seventh floor of this Star Picking Tower, except for my father and emperor, only the White Old Pavilion Lord and my third brother can go up, is this a place where you can go up if you want to?"

Kang Youren saw that he had been currying favor with King Jin for a long time, but the more he talked, the more he made King Jin angry, and at that moment, he had to go back to his position and sit down, not daring to make any more sound.

Or Song Jinhua played a round game:

"Gongzi Kang, our Star Picking Tower in Chang'an City, if you are qualified to go up to the seventh floor for dinner, looking at the whole world, there will be no more than ten people. Don't say it's the seventh floor, that is, the sixth floor where you are sitting and drinking now, and if you are qualified to come up, I'm afraid there will not be more than 100 people. Today, we are fortunate enough to sit on the sixth floor of this Star Picking Tower and drink, it is all thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Kang Youren immediately nodded again and again: "That's it! The little one is a cup to the prince, thank you for bringing the little one over to drink today!"

Li Ci smiled faintly, and immediately raised his glass to drink a full cup with Kang and Song. He took Kang Youren to this star-picking tower to drink today, his intention was nothing more than to entrap him, and he didn't want to embarrass the other party too much.

After drinking the wine, Li Xi said to Kang Youren:

"Xiaokang, you follow me and work hard! In the future, there will be an opportunity to come here to drink!"

Song Jinhua also lost no time in waking up and said: "Gongzi Kang, if you come to the Star Picking Tower in Chang'an City, if you come alone, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the first floor." In the future, as long as you follow His Highness to do things well, you will be able to rise steadily, no matter when we come here, you can immediately go up to the sixth floor to drink!"

Kang Youren comprehended, nodded busily and said: "Thank you Lord Wang! Xiaokang can serve by the side of the prince, that is a great blessing for Xiaokang!"
