Zhang Shixun turned his gaze to He Ji.
He Ji said: "I have no objection either."
While he was speaking, Gao Yanei arrived, followed by another man: Wang Hongfu.
Wang Hongfu looked miserable. Although he wore a fu hat, it could not cover his forehead. There were two big bumps in the middle that were very conspicuous, red with a hint of purple.
Prince Yun looked at Wang Hongfu with a somewhat unsettled expression, "Wang Daizhi, why are you here?"
Wang Hongfu bowed and cried, "Your Highness, I was terribly deceived by Gao Chengzong. He claimed to be able to walk through walls, and I sincerely wanted to be his disciple. I didn't expect him to be such a complete liar. He made me suffer so much that I got bumped all over my head."
He wiped away his bitter tears, reached out to take off his futou, and pointed at the bump on his head, "Your Highness, this is all caused by Gao Chengzong... Look, here, and here, it hurts so much."
Prince Yun suppressed his laughter and asked him, "Are all those bumps on your head caused by hitting your head against the wall?"
"Yes."
"You are following Gao Chengzong now. Are you asking for an explanation?"
"Exactly!" Wang Hongfu gritted his teeth. "If this fellow doesn't give me an explanation today, I'll follow him wherever he goes."
It was not a good matter to interfere. Prince Yun smiled and shook his head, then picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Gao Yanei turned his gaze to Zhang Shixun, asking how the matter was resolved.
Zhang Shixun shook his head, and his meaning was very clear: solve your own problems by yourself.
Wang Hongfu saw the look in the two men's eyes and pointed at Zhang Shixun, saying, "You're no good either. If you and Gao Chengzong hadn't been colluding to deceive me, how could I have been fooled?"
Zhang Shixun glared at him, "Wang Husun, did you hit your head? You chose to learn Daoist magic from him, so what does it have to do with me? Do you want me to help you push the bump back on your head?"
Wang Hongfu had never gained the upper hand in fighting with him, and was like a defeated quail in front of him. When his eyes met Zhang Shixun's, he quickly dodged.
Gao Yanei's eyes rolled around, and he seemed to have an idea. He bowed to Prince Yun and said, "Your Highness, I just heard you call him Wang Daizhi."
"That's right!" Prince Yun nodded and said, "Prime Minister Wang came to my house today to chat and said that his son is now the Deputy Minister of Tianzhang Pavilion."
Gao Yanei said, "That's not right! Your Highness, did you remember it wrong? He doesn't seem to be the Tianzhang Pavilion attendant."
"Oh? Did I remember it wrong?" After hearing what he said, Prince Yun was a little unsure. Such a small person could not attract his attention.
Gao Yanei said, "I heard people on the street yesterday saying that Wang Hongfu is indeed a Taizhi, but he is not a Taizhi of Tianzhang Pavilion, Longtu Pavilion, or Xianmo Pavilion."
"Oh! What kind of position is he?" Zhang Shixun lost no time in starting to make fun of him.
He had already seen that Gao Yanei was planning something bad.
"He is... hehe!" Gao Yanei glanced at Wang Hongfu.
Prince Yun couldn't help but say, "You are so incoherent. Why do you say half and leave the other half?"
"Wang Hongfu is the deputy governor of Husun."
Prince Yun was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
Wang Hongfu's face turned red and white. He wanted to scold Gao Yanei, but when he saw that Prince Yun was laughing so happily, if he started scolding him, he would inevitably scold Prince Yun as well.
Prince Yun must not be offended under any circumstances.
In desperation, Wang Hongfu had no choice but to swallow his anger and swallow the insults.
After the food and wine were served, everyone chatted about all sorts of things, toasted each other, and occasionally enjoyed the music played by singing girls.
After drinking for a while, Gao Yanei became drunk and his hands started to become naughty. He would secretly touch the singing girl from time to time, making her giggle.
Prince Yun ignored Gao Yanei's little trick and asked Zhang Shixun, "I heard some time ago that you performed a set of drunken boxing in the Lotus Pavilion?"
"Haha! Your Highness has heard about it too?"
"Yeah, I was very curious after hearing that. Generally speaking, if you can't even stand steadily after being drunk, how can you still fight?"
Zhang Shixun explained, "Your Highness, if you are truly drunk, no one can use your fists or kicks. The so-called drunken boxing is nothing more than taking advantage of the alcohol."
"Oh! I see."
Gao Yanei was immediately interested when he heard this topic. He said repeatedly, "Brother, you promised to open my eyes a few days ago. Today we've officially finished the discussion. Why don't we all go to the Lotus Pavilion together while we're in high spirits and demonstrate the Drunken Eight Immortals for us?"
After hearing this, Prince Yun and He Ji were very pleased and clapped their hands in agreement.
Gao Yanei didn't hesitate to say anything, and pulled Zhang Shixun aside, saying, "Brother, it's getting late, and the Lotus Pavilion is bustling with activity. Let's go now."
As he spoke, he instructed the Tea and Wine Doctor, "Get us a few pots of good wine, and some side dishes to send to the Lotus Pavilion."
"What a great idea!" He Ji said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be fun to drink, listen to music, and watch Brother Zhang perform drunken boxing?"
Prince Yun was also a playful person. He thought this was a good idea and urged Zhang Shixun: "Shixun, don't just stand there. Let's go to the Lotus Pavilion and have fun. We'll have fun today and won't stop until we're drunk."
Since taking office, Zhang Shixun has been staying in the Tianwu Army. He hasn't seen Ding Dusai for several days and wants to go to the Lotus Pavilion to see her. Seeing that everyone is happy, he just goes with the flow and agrees with a smile.
Husun's deputy minister Wang Hongfu said nothing and just followed the crowd with a thick face.
Prince Yun also disliked Wang Hongfu and wanted to drive him away several times, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
This guy's father is the prime minister after all, so he should be given the face he deserves.
When everyone arrived at the Lotus Pavilion, it was already bustling with people.
Seeing Prince Yun arrive, the steward did not dare to delay and quickly let them sit in the front row.
There were no empty seats in the front row, and the manager had to persuade the guests at the middle table to move to other seats.
After everyone was seated, Zhang Shixun said to Prince Yun, "Since Your Highness wants to see my drunken boxing, I'll go backstage and prepare."
Prince Yun smiled and said, "Of course, you can go ahead. We will drink in the audience and watch your performance."
Zhang Shixun said hello to the others and went straight to the backstage.
Wang Hongfu looked at his back and spat, "You thief! What a show-off!"
Gao Yanei asked, "Hu Sun Taizhi, why are you spitting?"
Wang Hongfu glared at him, spat, and then looked at him, his meaning was obvious: I vomited, what can you do to me?
"You must have drunk too much, why are you so angry?"
Gao Yanei decided to calm him down and poured the tea bowl at him.
Wang Hongfu was splashed with water all over his head and face. He was furious and reached out to grab the wine jug on the table, but was stopped by He Ji.
"Wang Yanei, please don't be disrespectful in front of His Highness."
Wang Hongfu wiped the water from his face and said angrily, "I knew you and Gao Yanei were in cahoots, teaming up to bully me."
