278 The Legend of the Royal City VII
While observing the Third Prince for a moment, he continued to flatter him, then added, "To have gained one today is truly the greatest blessing of my life, Wang Taiping. How could I possibly let him go? Brother Qi, please stop."
Hua Yu then shifted her tone, seemingly serious yet feigning, "I heard the other day that Brother Qi has set his sights on another wealthy family. How's it going?"
After hearing this, Qi Xianren nodded slightly, whether out of genuine satisfaction or savoring his newfound gain, he shook his head and drank a cup of wine, which was fragrant and pleasant.
He said modestly, "It's nothing, nothing at all. Such vulgar beauty is incomparable to this. If Brother Wang is so inclined, I would like to send..."
For a time, glasses clinked and discussions continued.
Qi Xianren shook his head, paused, and then said, "But I heard from the brothel that in a few days, Lian Xiuxiu, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world, will be coming to the royal city. I wonder if it's true!"
I've heard this woman has a very high opinion of herself; most people would find it difficult to even meet her, and she's picky about who she can get her hands on. Her singing, playing the piano, and performing all depend on her mood. She's truly arrogant, conceited, and doesn't know her place.
He said through gritted teeth, "This woman is really presumptuous. 'A great family' is just a nickname. In reality, she's just a songstress. So arrogant! Humph!"
Furthermore, like Yun Su, she is unrestrained and blind, even running to the border region to find a wild boy, which is truly laughable.
General Yun has gone senile. In order to promote his son-in-law, he actually had Commandant Guan put on a show, staging this absurd charade of beheading Dalong Prefecture and seizing the entire prefecture.
Then the Holy Emperor went into seclusion, hoping to use this opportunity to secure a position for his son-in-law. He was utterly delusional; no wonder he was disliked and stripped of his post. And those old generals, they're all old fogies, completely out of their minds, just playing along with Elder Yun's act.
As he spoke, he began to curse Elder Yun, Yun Su, and others!
The Third Prince chuckled slightly, remaining silent as he looked at the son of the Imperial Censor, who was only eight years old. He neither refuted nor responded, for this generation, having lived a life of ease for over twenty years, needed no further explanation.
However, a slight concern remained in his heart. The Dalong Prefecture had run into trouble, and he had originally intended to use this opportunity to strike at several birds with one blow and stir up trouble. Otherwise, he would have had no chance at all.
Besides, even if they find out, what can I do? Did I agree to it? Did I know about it? I don't know, so it's none of my business.
Moreover, this royal city is compressed by a grand formation, with heavy dragon energy and repulsive spiritual energy, essentially isolating spiritual energy. Ordinary people who come here will exhaust their spiritual energy, be ganged up on, and have no chance of escaping death.
After Qi Xianren finished speaking, he was still not satisfied. He let out a cold snort, but a fleeting glint of desire and possessiveness flashed in his eyes. Then, he changed the subject and said...
"The Third Prince is imposing and dashing, like a god of jade. When he appears before the world's number one beauty, Lian Xiuxiu, how could she not obediently bow down and submit? This is a blessing she has earned through three lifetimes of good deeds!"
I've heard that this woman possesses a face as beautiful as a poem or a painting, a beauty as enduring as the moon, as pure as the first snow, a voice as melodious as a zither, an elegance as graceful as a swan's dance, and a delicate charm as a blooming flower.
Such a beauty is bound to have a temper. Being praised by outsiders for her unparalleled beauty, it's only natural that she would have a unique sense of pride and temperament. When you finally see her, you'll probably be unable to walk away!
The Third Prince's charm and majesty instantly captivated the beauty's heart. In the end, she could only obediently submit and submit to the Third Prince's capture.
I hereby offer my early congratulations to the Third Prince! May he win the heart of his beloved and emerge victorious!
After he finished speaking, he stood up, bowed deeply, and seemed genuinely happy, as if the Third Prince had successfully won the beauty's heart.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Taiping and the others echoed in agreement, as if they already held great power, had beautiful women in their arms, and had the throne in their hands.
The warm breeze makes tourists feel intoxicated, and they mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou!
Such flattery, the promise of a beautiful woman in one's arms, and the implied meaning—although it didn't come to fruition, and although the road ahead was difficult, he never considered that his life was in danger.
"Under the whole heaven, if it is not the king's land, then on the shores of the whole land, everyone is the king's subject."
If a ruler commands his subject to die, the subject must die; to refuse is to be disloyal. If a father commands his son to die, the son to refuse is to be unfilial.
Even if his deeds were exposed, he never thought that anyone would dare to kill him. Who was he? The prince of the country, the son of the Holy Emperor. Who would dare to kill him? Who would dare to kill him!
An aura of dominance, confidence, and pride soared to the heavens, giving off a sense of looking down upon the world. Even if military commanders like Elder Yun knew, so what? They were deeply aware of the Emperor's power. Without solid evidence, what could they do to me?
He thought to himself, 'Besides my father and brothers, who dares to kill me! If I break the law, I'll only be confined to my quarters for a short time, but if I succeed, all the beauties in the world will be mine!'
This is the authority of the royal family, the domineering aura of the royal family, an indescribable majesty, an involuntary sense of superiority, a person above others, nine ranks higher than others, arising spontaneously from the depths of one's heart, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, making it elusive.
Imperial power, with its nobility, dignity, and authority, instills in its subjects a sense of awe, placing them below their station. Yet, they fail to realize that this inviolable force, this irresistible majesty, is always a cold, calculating exercise; true fame and fortune lie only in the sword.
He had laughed at Qi Xianren before, and now he was doing the same. At dawn, the sword's edge flashed, the blade clashed; a chivalrous spirit, sought after for a thousand years, was nowhere to be found. Twenty years of drunken stupor, and now, the setting sun casts its glow on the water, half the river teeming with oars, half red with desolation!
The Third Prince listened silently, a slight nod appearing on his face, as if he agreed with the praise. A faint, enigmatic smile played at the corners of his lips, a fleeting, elusive smile, like a wisp of smoke drifting through the air.
That smile seemed to contain many indescribable, unspoken emotions, including a hidden glimmer of light, as well as a subtle hint of lewdness and something unspeakable.
The Third Prince glanced at the group again, his gaze like sharp swords, piercing through their flattery and smiles, discerning every subtle change, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief!
In that case, it's best not to spread this information, otherwise a bunch of historians will write nonsense again. I don't care, the winner takes all, and as for mere historians, I can just replace them. But for now, I still need to preserve some image!
Then, looking at Wang Taiping before him, a fleeting sense of unease crossed his mind. He shook his head slightly. This man was not someone to be trifled with. Besides, with the Holy Emperor alive, who could touch me? Not even Elder Yun! And indeed, no one would dare!
