Chapter 103 The Prince Was Humiliated
Lin Qingyue said, "I know. Hongyao has already tried it. The formations are mainly concentrated in the South Wind Pavilion, the Hundred Flowers Tower, and the place in the back garden called 'Qiong Tower'. Among them, the Qiong Tower has the strongest magnetic field."
Dongfang Qi turned around and saw the tallest building in the entire garden, the "Qiong Tower". What secrets were hidden there?
In the blink of an eye, it was night and the entire mine was still brightly lit.
In the mining area, the miners are still working. The sound of knocking is mixed with the cracking of whips, and the faint cries of the workers struggling to survive can be heard.
In another valley, there are beautiful buildings, carved railings and painted buildings. The luxurious lights illuminate the surrounding vegetation, making it as bright as colored glass.
At this moment, a large group of officers and soldiers, surrounded by seven or eight luxurious carriages, drove out from the night and drove into the world as bright as glass.
The car stops and people get out.
A dozen people dressed in gorgeous clothes gathered together, talking and laughing, and stepped into this elegant park.
"Master Miao, I've never forgotten this paradise on earth since I visited it last year. My father and grandfather asked me where I wanted to serve as an official, and I chose Donglin without hesitation."
"Hahaha..." Miao Dong laughed heartily. "Mr. Li, you're really too kind. A noble like you, what good things have you not seen? Besides, everything here belongs to the Li family. I'm just helping to take care of it. I built this small courtyard so that a noble like you can have a place to rest when you come to inspect. It's nothing special."
Miao Dong is 45 years old this year. He has a tall figure, elegant features, and is a handsome man.
The man he called "Master Li" was a direct descendant of the Li family. He had recently entered the officialdom and was serving as a local official in Donglin Prefecture.
Although his current official position is half a rank lower than Miao Dong's, Master Li has just turned twenty this year, and his entire family is paving the way for him. Needless to say, he will definitely become a general or a prime minister in the future.
Therefore, Miao Dong was particularly attentive to him.
Apart from these two people, the others were local officials from Donglin who came as guests.
To receive such distinguished guests, the standards must be of course the highest.
So the group went straight to Qionglou.
Soon, the delicious food and wine were served on the table, and the guests took their seats, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
Master Li just smiled faintly and looked at Miao Dong: "Where is the beauty?"
"With fine wine and delicious food, there must be beautiful women." Miao Dong said, clapping his hands.
Then, the screen in front of him was removed, revealing a lotus stage.
Beauties, come on stage from the left and right sides.
The left row is all men.
The row on the right is women.
Each one was dressed in gorgeous attire and had delicate makeup. The beautiful women were particularly special, as they had a thin ribbon covering their eyes, obscuring their eyelids.
Young Master Li asked, "Why are all those women covering their eyes?"
Miao Dong explained with a smile: "These are specially prepared for Lord Hu, Lord Liu and others."
Lord Hu said, "I just casually mentioned to Lord Miao that I liked the blind girl's tameness. I didn't expect Lord Miao to remember it and tame a group of them just for me. Every time I come, the feeling is different."
Lord Liu said, "I saw that the gauze on the eyes of several people over there was still bleeding. The spots of bright red were really beautiful and it really made me feel poetic!"
As he spoke, he improvised, dipped his hands in wine, and wrote a poem on the table.
"Excellent writing!" Miao Dong praised loudly, and then shouted, "Come here, copy down Lord Liu's masterpiece. It will surely be passed down through the ages."
Young Master Li wasn't interested in the blind girls. He glanced at the young men on the stage one by one and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. These are all of great quality!"
In the capital, homosexuality is not allowed to be public, but now that the emperor is far away, everything can be done according to one's preferences.
Young Master Li prefers tender food, but at this moment his eyes fell on the tallest man in white on the lotus platform, who had his back to them.
"You, turn around." Master Li ordered coldly.
That was none other than the current Crown Prince Dongfang Qi.
After going on stage, Dongfang Qi recognized Li Duo at a glance.
At the beginning, in order to strengthen the relationship between the prince and several major families, the Emperor of Qi specially selected disciples of appropriate age from the major families to serve as the prince's tutors.
Li Duo was the student chosen by the Li family to accompany his child to study. In fact, he and Dongfang Qi had been classmates for five years.
However, there were too many accompanying readers at that time, and Li Duo and the prince had an average relationship, so they did not interact privately.
But even so, he must have recognized Dongfang Qi.
So Dongfang Qi did not turn around immediately to avoid exposing his true appearance.
At this moment, he heard the other party give him an order: "You, turn around."
He was reluctant to disobey, but luckily he was quick-witted and tore off a piece of the hem of his inner robe to cover his face.
Then, Li Duo saw Dongfang covering her face with a white veil, her facial features were vaguely visible, but she looked even more refined.
"It's you!" Li Duo's eyes widened as he couldn't stop praising her. "This boy has a noble and elegant temperament that makes people fall in love with him at first sight. I can't help but want to pull off his veil to see his beautiful face!"
Dongfang Qi: "..."
I want to gouge out your eyes and then let Xiao Hui bite you to death!
Lin Qingyue and Hong Yao were also on the stage, their eyes feignedly covered with white silk cloth.
After hearing Li Duo's words and noticing Dongfang Qi's reaction, Lin Qingyue immediately guessed that he must be an acquaintance.
There is a veil covering it now, but once you get closer, you will definitely recognize it.
Lin Qingyue quickly pulled out a disguise talisman. As Dongfang Qi passed by, she placed it behind him and whispered, "This talisman is valid for two hours. During this time, no one will be able to see your true appearance."
Dongfang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thought: A meal for them won't take more than two hours.
The disguise talisman was originally prepared by Lin Qingyue specifically for Hong Yao, for fear that she would be recognized by Miao Dong.
Previously, Hong Yao was able to perform some magic at Doctor Wang's place. However, the powerful formation in the Qiong Tower suppressed Hong Yao's magic power and made her unable to perform any magic.
However, these have no effect on Lin Qingyue at all - she is not a demon.
Dongfang Qi was chosen and brought before Master Li. Miao Dong, Lord Zhou, and other nobles also selected their favorite women to accompany them for drinking.
Coincidentally, Miao Dong chose Hong Yao at first sight.
