The hall is filled with delicious food, loud singing and music, and the sounds of flutes and strings are deafening.

The four luxurious private rooms on the top floor are named after the four seasons of the year, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter...

How could it be so rustic? People call them "Qingyang", "Changying", "Baizang" and "Xuanying" respectively.

Although the meaning is the same.

At this time, in the box called "Qingyang", the young master Li Chengen was introducing Xiwa to a group of playboys.

Speaking of which, summer is about to arrive, and this is Xiwa's first time going out.

In fact, according to his original intention, he didn't plan to go out this year.

The injuries on both feet were healed, but the warning from the doctor next door, Wang, was still ringing in Zhao Shixi's ears. He was afraid that he would encounter another accident if he went out...

Who knows if I might lose my life next time?

But Li Chengen was still thinking about what he had promised Xiwa, that he would take him out to have some fun.

He tried his best to persuade Zhao Shixi in the past two days, and even asked for a full set of evil-repelling items for him, before he finally persuaded Xiwa, who was already like a frightened bird, to come out.

At this time, Zhao Shixi was fully armed, with a jade pendant around his neck, a dog tooth tied to his left wrist, Buddhist beads tied to his right wrist, a talisman stuck on his chest, and a peach wood sword on his back... Confident that he was immune to all evil, he bravely walked out the door.

You know what, it really works and nothing has happened so far.

However, his appearance really shocked the young masters, and they couldn't help but ask with awe:

"I wonder where this Taoist priest's immortal mountain is?"

"Hey, why is the Taoist priest still wearing Buddhist beads? Could it be that he is practicing both Buddhism and Taoism?"

"Who is the Taoist priest and who is the monk?" Zhao Shixi was so angry that he drank a cup of realgar wine and said, "I am Zhao Shixi, the 'tragedy of the world'. I am doing this to ward off evil spirits!"

"Please understand, my nephew is in such a pity." Li Chengen felt that he had an obligation to take good care of Xiwa today, and quickly waved his hand to Liu Side and others:

"From last winter till now, this grandson has only one fucking wish, which is to spend the two tickets he has."

"Isn't this easy?" Liu Si De and the others laughed, "How many flowers can't be spent?"

"But such a simple matter is harder than climbing to the sky for my nephew!" Li Cheng'en slammed the table and happily shared with everyone Zhao Shixi's several unlucky experiences this year.

"Oh my god, it's so tragic..." The young masters were laughing so hard that they were bent over with admiration for Zhao Shixi.

It is not uncommon for a person to have bad luck once in his life. What is unusual is that he has bad luck continuously for a whole six months...

How fucking bad is this?

The circle of these young masters is very closed, and they will not easily accept new people to join. But almost in the blink of an eye, they accepted the tragedy of Zhao Shixi from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, the happiness in life is set off by the misfortune of others.

If there is one more person like this in a small group, everyone's happiness index will increase significantly.

So the young masters started to treat Xiwa as their brother, toasted him with wine, and patted their chests to say that they would take care of spending money.

Aren't they just two tickets? We can help you spend them in one night!

"Actually, there are nine..." Xiwa said silently in her heart. When Great Uncle left, he and Grandma Ye each gave one.

But Xiwa hasn't made no progress in the past six months. At least she knows the principle of not showing off her wealth...

In the box called "Qingyang", a group of young men described to Xiwa in vivid detail the conditions in several major dens of illicit sex in the capital.

Places like Goulan Hutong, Bensi Hutong, Fenmin Hutong, East Courtyard and West Courtyard, Ma Girl Hutong, Song Girl Hutong, and the Su Family Courtyard where Yu Tangchun lived in the past are all great places for young men and princes to linger.

There are Datong women, Taishan nuns, West Lake boat girls, Yangzhou skinny horses... They are divided into South Class and North Class. The South Class pleases people with music and beauty, while the North Class wins with strength.

Besides, there are many fun things to do. There are people who play cards with you, perform in plays, tell stories, play the flute... As long as you can afford it, there is everything to do.

As a result, the young masters were so excited that they ate up the whole banquet in no time and went downstairs arm in arm to have fun.

However, these young men are still young after all, and they are afraid of running into their family elders in a large group of people, so they dare not go to fixed places like Fenzi Hutong.

Their destination was the pleasure boats on Shichahai.

There is everything on the pleasure boat, and there is no need to worry about running into anyone once the boat leaves the shore. It is the favorite place for these young men.

The young lord actually has no such idea yet, but he just likes to join in the fun and is willing to organize such a gathering where no matter what the material is, it can be seen as a symbol of corruption.

It can only be said that everyone has one hobby.

As he supported the staggering Zhao Shixi in front, he asked Liu Side behind him, "Have you booked the boat?"

"Oh, it's been so many times, and you're still not at ease?" Liu Si De curled his lips and said, "It's been booked long ago! Look, the largest pleasure boat in the entire Shichahai, isn't it waiting for us in front?"

As expected, everyone saw a two-story houseboat with bright lights quietly moored at the pier, waiting for the arrival of guests.

The young masters were overjoyed and rushed over quicken their pace.

Beside Shichahai Lake, on the bell tower.

Princess Ning'an snuggled up to Zhao Shouzheng, and Master Zhao wrapped her tightly in a wide cloak.

The two of them looked at the pleasure boats on the lake while saying goodbye.

"Zhao Lang, Ning An is going to be separated from you again..."

"Ning An, it's hard to disobey the emperor's order." Zhao Shouzheng sighed and said, "Who told me to hit the young elder?"

"Oh, my brother is such a jerk. I begged him for a long time but he refused to give in." Ning An said sadly, "I think he just wants to break us up."

"You are not allowed to say that." Zhao Shouzheng said sternly, "Although the emperor is your brother, he is also the king of all the people in the world. How can you sacrifice public office for personal gain?"

"I won't say it anymore in the future. Why are you so fierce?" Ning An said with red eyes: "Isn't it because I can't bear to leave you?"

"Ah, I can't bear to leave you either." Zhao Shouzheng sighed again and hugged the princess tighter.

"Zhao Lang..." The princess looked up at Zhao Shouzheng's sexy beard and well-defined profile, and moaned, "Can you recite another poem for Ning An?"

"Okay." Zhao Shouzheng nodded, sniffed the beauty's hair, and then chanted in his magnetic voice:

"Ask the world, what is love, that it teaches us to stay together for life and death?"

The eldest princess was immediately stunned. She stared at her beloved man and thought to herself, isn't this talking about the two of us?

"Two travelers fly together from north to south, their old wings have experienced many winters and summers. Joy is fun, separation is painful, and there are even more foolish children among them.

You should say: "With clouds covering thousands of miles and snow covering thousands of mountains, to whom will your shadow go?"

The two were in love, wishing they could become one, when they suddenly heard a splash from the Houhai Lake not far away...

The princess shuddered and asked in a lost voice, "Someone fell into the water again?"

"It seems so." Only a rough-minded person like Mr. Zhao would not ask her why she said "again"?

The two men stood up and looked around while holding onto the white jade railing.

Sure enough, I saw a lot of people gathered around the largest pleasure boat at the lakeside pier, and some people even jumped into the water, as if they were trying to save someone.

Ning An withdrew his gaze upon seeing this. Life is short, how could he care about others?
