Chapter 248 Yiren's Farewell
The son of the Marquis of Jingyang was hit with a wine jug by the Prince of Han at a banquet.
But he deserved it.
Lelai Tower was temporarily closed, and these people had no place to have fun, so the prince specially invited them to Zuiyue Tower to have some fun.
The son of the Marquis of Jingyang was so good that he actually said at a banquet hosted by the Prince of Han that the King of Han was afraid of Li Xuanjing.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the death of the owner of Lelailou was definitely instigated by the King of Han.
But it's enough to just know these words in your heart. How can you say them in public, especially in front of the Prince of Han?
Everyone knows that the prince cares most about his reputation. Isn't this a slap in his face in public?
Anyone who embarrasses the prince will end up in a bad way.
The young man threw away the broken wine jug, took the handkerchief handed to him from the side, wiped the wine and blood on his hands, and said calmly, "Get lost," without even looking at the son of the Earl of Jingyang.
The son of the Earl of Jingyang covered his head, apologized repeatedly and left.
A servant hurried in, knelt on the ground, picked up the fragments, and wiped away all traces.
The Prince of Han smiled, as if nothing had happened, and said to everyone: "Why are you all silent? Eat the food. These dishes are all sent from the Sinong Temple. You can't eat them on weekdays..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue became lively again.
The things in Sinong Temple are all specially supplied to the royal family, and they cannot eat them on ordinary days.
Everyone was drinking, chatting and laughing, and tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened.
After the banquet, the Prince of Han said with a smile: "Lelai Tower will be closed for ten days due to some reasons. After ten days, I will invite you to come and play. Remember to come then..."
Upon hearing this, everyone started to speak.
"Of course, of course."
"Today's food is really delicious. If it weren't for the prince, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the chance to taste this kind of delicacy."
"That's because the things in Sinong Temple are not something that anyone can get."
"Not only the food, but also the wine in Zuiyuelou is unique in Chang'an..."
…
These big shots who are usually chased and flattered by others are now flattering others to the utmost.
The Prince of Han is extremely concerned about his reputation, and everyone in the powerful circle of Chang'an knows it.
As long as they give the prince enough face, everything can be discussed. In the past, if they encountered any difficulties, the prince would always help them enthusiastically.
But if you don't give face to the prince, the son of the Earl of Jingyang is an example.
Everyone knows that Lelailou closed down because it was reported by someone, and the identity of the reporter was so unknown that even the Han Palace could not hide it.
But just keep these words in your heart.
Although there were some minor incidents at the beginning, the banquet ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
After everyone had left, the Prince of Han sat in the elegant pavilion. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, his expression became calm, and he unconsciously turned an empty wine glass in his hand.
After a moment, he seemed to be talking to himself and said, "Lin Ting, don't you think my father's eldest prince is too useless? A sixth-rank official can ride on the head of the Han Palace?"
Beside him, a young man shook his head and said, "You can't say that. You can't just look at the prince's official rank. Although he is only a sixth-rank official, he has a powerful father behind him..."
The Prince of Han knocked his wine glass heavily on the table and said, "It's because of Li Xuanjing. I tolerated the last incident, but does he really think that the Prince of Han's Mansion is easy to bully, and he has been causing trouble for Lelai Tower again and again?"
The significance of Lelai Tower to the Han Palace is more than just a cash cow.
Lelai Tower has attracted countless officials and dignitaries, and this incident has had a profound impact on them.
Lelai Tower is the property of the Prince of Han's Palace. Not only can it not protect its guests, but it will also be punished by the court.
After this incident, I’m afraid not many officials would dare to enter Lelai Building openly.
The young man poured himself a glass of wine and said, "In my opinion, he didn't deliberately cause trouble for the Han Palace, but for the court officials. He is a legalist, and for the legalists, punishing officials will bring greater benefits..."
The Prince of Han curled his lips and said, "It's really ironic that the son of a treacherous minister is a legalist. If he really wants to be a legalist, the person he should arrest the most is his father Li Xuanjing. The crimes of those officials combined are probably not even one-tenth of Li Xuanjing's..."
He looked at the young man next to him and asked, "You have a lot of ideas. Help me think about how I can get rid of this anger."
The young man was shocked when he heard this and asked unsurely, "Does the prince really want to provoke him?"
The Prince of Han frowned and asked, "Why, I can't afford to offend him?"
The young man knew his character and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he said, "Of course the prince can afford to provoke him, but even if he wants to do it, it's better to do it covertly. Otherwise, things may become very troublesome."
The Prince of Han raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
The young man thought for a moment and said, "Li Nuo is a legalist. He has many ways to deal with legalists. If Your Highness wants to vent his anger, I do have a way..."
…
Li Mansion.
Promotion plus vacation is a good pair.
After just a few days of work, Li Nuo's life returned to its most comfortable state.
He wakes up with Jiaren or An Ning every day, teaches Jiaren how to practice sword in the morning, and then practices with her. In the afternoon, he goes shopping with An Ning. When he is in the mood, he buys some vegetables at the market and cooks them himself when he comes back. His life is simple, comfortable and interesting.
As for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, he had no control over them at all.
I heard from Fenghuang that Yuyin Pavilion's business has been much better in the past few days.
The large brothels and music halls in Chang'an were all ordered by the court to close down and reorganize. Those people had nowhere to go, so the business of purely vegetarian places like Yuyin Pavilion would naturally increase.
In an environment with such fierce internal competition, it is indeed commendable that Yuyin Pavilion can insist on being a simple music hall.
In the courtyard, Li Nuo was teaching the beauty a new set of sword techniques when a figure walked in from outside.
Li Nuo looked surprised. Yiren hadn't come to the Li family for a long time.
Li Nuo didn't know how he had offended her.
It looks like she has calmed down?
According to his past experience, Yiren was the easiest person to coax. She was even easier to coax than An Ning. It was beyond his expectation that she would be angry for so long this time.
Under Li Nuo's gaze, Song Yiren walked up to him and Song Jiaren and said, "I have returned the pair of jade ruyi to my grandmother."
Li Nuo was a little surprised. This was the first time she admitted these things.
Then, she looked at Song Jiaren and said, "I stole those paintings of yours. I put them in your room at home. Remember to take them when you go back to the Song family next time."
She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for stealing so many things from you."
Li Nuo looked at Yiren. She seemed a little strange today.
Yiren looked at Li Nuo, hesitated for a moment, and took out an exquisite wooden box from her sleeve. There was a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but she finally put it on the table and said, "I'll return your things to you."
Finally, she glanced at Li Nuo and Song Jiaren, tightened the small bag on her back, and said, "I'm going back to Sanqing Sect. I'm very sorry for causing you trouble these days... I wish you happiness."
She tried hard to smile, but she couldn't stop her tears.
She turned around quickly, and tears fell at the moment she turned around.
She strode away, and Li Nuo's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
When he heard that Yiren was going back to Sanqing Sect, the first feeling in his heart was reluctance.
I instinctively want to keep him, but I can't think of a reason.
He subconsciously looked towards Phoenix.
The moment before he looked at the Phoenix, the Phoenix chased in the direction of Yiren.
But until she chased to the door and ran along the street for a distance, she still didn't see the woman.
Helpless, she had to turn back.
At a street corner ahead, a figure slowly walked out.
Song Yiren looked in a certain direction and said softly in her heart.
goodbye.
Never see you again.
