Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 376: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

A small viscount was not worthy of being treated with caution and respect by the servants of the Shu Wang Mansion, let alone a bumpkin viscount. A servant led him to a large pavilion and placed him in a relatively remote corner.

The building was brightly lit, and people came in and out from time to time. There were bursts of noise around. On the table in front of him were all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the drinks were top-grade grape wine, which was of high quality. It can be seen that the Shu Wang was obviously a particular person.

There were rows of tables on both sides. At this time, some of the tables were already occupied, and some familiar people gathered together, laughing and talking loudly. More than a dozen dancers were dancing on the red carpet in the middle, with bare ankles and revealing clothes. As they danced, a piece of smooth and greasy skin would often be exposed.

If he hadn't known that this was the Prince of Shu's Palace, Li Yi might have thought it was a place like Wanfang Pavilion or Qunyuyuan. The dancers were dancing so coquettishly and exposedly that many people were staring at them, as if their souls were hooked.

"Is it beautiful?" Just as Li Yi was watching intently, a faint voice came from beside him.

"Beautiful..." Li Yi nodded. He just said two words and immediately realized something. He changed his tone and said seriously, "What a fart, this is not a dance, it's clearly flirting, it's simply insulting. I didn't expect that the Prince of Shu would be such a person. It's really disappointing."

Li Yi deeply condemned the hypocritical and prudish behavior of the Prince of Shu. He moved his eyes away from the dancer's seductive figure and concentrated on dealing with the pot of grape wine in front of him. While raising his glass, he secretly glanced at the scene. The Prince of Shu was also a person who knew how to enjoy himself. This figure, this waist, this flexibility------even without looking at the face, you can give these dancers a "top" evaluation.

This occasion is not suitable for Miss Liu Er. There is no other woman besides her. In this era, there are not many entertainment activities. It is normal for a group of men to gather together to watch erotic dance.

If it were not for the special status of the King of Shu, the atmosphere would definitely be more harmonious if he invited this group of people to hold a banquet in the brothel.

Of course, Li Yi himself is not like most people, with dirty thoughts in his heart. He is purely from the perspective of appreciating "art". Unfortunately, Miss Liu Er's artistic accomplishment is still a long way from him. She only sees their enchantment and exposure, and does not understand the essence of the dancers' dance...

"You are so presumptuous. Do you think you can talk about His Highness the King of Shu behind his back?" Although Li Yi had deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke just now, he was still heard by someone at the next table. A well-dressed young man with a scholarly aura stood up from his seat and shouted loudly.

Li Yi didn't expect him to have such a big reaction. He and the King of Shu had no intersection, so naturally there was no grudge. The words just now were just a joke, but looking at the young man's performance, it seemed like an insult to his ancestors.

Li Yi raised his head, looked at him and said, "It's just a joke, why do you take it so seriously?"

The young man snorted coldly and said, "How can His Royal Highness the King of Shu be used as a joke?"

Li Yi frowned. The two had no grudges, but the other party grabbed his unintentional words and held on to them. This was a bit too much. Even if he wanted to curry favor with the King of Shu, he didn't have to use such a method, right?

This kind of person can't be ignored. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he is. Li Yi can go home as long as he finishes his time today. He didn't even stand up, but turned his head to continue appreciating the "art".

The young man opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue with the words he had already prepared.

Of course, it had nothing to do with him that someone was speaking rudely to the King of Shu, but if he didn't do something special tonight, how could he get the attention of His Royal Highness the King of Shu?

Everyone knew that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was the most likely to ascend the throne among all the princes. For them, getting close to the King of Shu and making friends with him was undoubtedly a shortcut to promotion and wealth, and reaching the pinnacle of life. However, there were countless people who had the same idea as him, and there were many dignitaries among them. He could only write a few good poems, and in the final analysis, he was still a grassroots. If he wanted to stand out from them, he naturally needed to do something different.

When someone spoke rudely to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, he stood up and reprimanded him righteously, thereby showing his admiration for His Royal Highness the King of Shu, which was as endless as the river water. Even if he could win the favor of His Royal Highness a little, it would be enough.

Of course, he was selective in his actions. He certainly couldn't mess with the people who were respectfully invited by the butler of the palace, and the people who were brought here by the servants of the palace with a look of disgust and whose location was more remote than his own were of course the best choices.

The young man in front of him, who looked strange and obviously had no deep background, was a good breakthrough. He had anticipated the subsequent developments and was just waiting for the servants of the palace to drive out the guy who spoke rudely to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, so that he could show his face a little. But he didn't expect the other party to be so scared so quickly, making all his preparations come to nothing. If he continued to pester, he would probably be driven out by the butler of the palace as a troublemaker.

Helplessly, the young man looked at Li Yi and could only sit back in his original position.

"Is the King of Shu famous?" Miss Liu Er took the wine pot from Li Yi's hand and poured herself a glass of wine. She looked around with her beautiful eyes. Even though she was not familiar with the princesses and princes of the royal family, she did not think that such a scene could be supported by an ordinary prince.

"Not only famous, he is the prince who is most likely to become the emperor in the future. How can he not be famous?" Li Yi said lazily.

Liu Ruyi curled her lips and said, "Is it good to be an emperor?"

Ms. Liu Er, who is cold most of the time, is also quite cute when she is playful. Li Yi glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Of course it's good to be an emperor. Who doesn't want to be an emperor? Such a big country is ruled by him alone. One word can decide life and death, and one thought can determine the fate of countless people."

"More importantly, after becoming an emperor, you can marry many concubines, three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties in the harem..."

Li Yi glanced at Miss Liu Er, saw her unfriendly eyes, and said righteously, "So, there is really nothing good about being an emperor. The main thing is that the body can't stand it. If you don't believe it, think about it. Which emperor has lived a long life in history?"

Li Yi used facts to prove why being an emperor is not good at all. If you want to live a long life, you should give up the throne of the emperor as soon as possible, consolidate your foundation, and strengthen your body and nourish your kidneys.

At a certain time, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and the crowd began to rush to the door.

Li Yi turned his head and saw several figures, led by the King of Shu, coming in from outside.

The main person has come. In order to show respect to the King of Shu, most people stood up from their seats, regardless of their status, and went forward to greet him.

Li Yi and Miss Liu Er were in the most remote corner of the hall. The young man next to him had already gone to greet him. Looking at the King of Shu surrounded by three layers of people, Li Yi wisely decided to sit here.

The crowd soon dispersed, and the King of Shu walked forward surrounded by the crowd. Li Yi glanced at him inadvertently and saw a figure behind the King of Shu that surprised him a little.

"Why is he here too?"

Seeing that slightly familiar face, Li Yi murmured in surprise.

Cui Yanxin, a former new Jinshi, had a conflict with him when he embarrassed Wan Ruoqing in the Ning Wang Mansion. Later, he didn't know what happened. I didn't expect to see him in such an occasion.

Wait a minute, the mother of the King of Shu is Concubine Cui, and the sphere of influence of the Cui family is in Linzhou, Qing'an Prefecture. Cui Yanxin also has the surname Cui, and is now obviously the follower of the King of Shu. There is no connection between them, right?
