But …
"But what?" Zhou Quan looked at him in confusion.
Luo Yang saw that Zhou Quan was wearing the same clothes as him. He was just a small concierge. Since the Immortal's Competition Tower wasn't a place ordinary people could go, how did Zhou Quan get the ability to book a table?
"Wasn't the Immortal's Competition Tower already booked? I also know that it's extremely expensive. Where did you get it? "
"Don't worry about that. Just follow me tomorrow."
"Don't mess with me."
"This is the first time we've met. There's no enmity between us. Why would I mess with you?"
Luo Yang was skeptical. But he had no reason not to accept such a big pie. He clapped his hands and agreed.
The two changed into casual clothes and went to the tavern to drink for the whole afternoon.
Drunk, he went back to his room.
Little Eight helped the red-faced Luo Yang back to his room. He couldn't open his eyes because of the smell of alcohol on him.
"Brother, where did you go?"
"I … can still drink, drink …"
"Aiya, stop drinking. Brother, how did you end up like this?"
"En … en …" Luo Yang mumbled something indistinctly.
He couldn't stand up anymore.
He put all his weight on Little Eight.
It took Little Eight a lot of effort to carry him to the bed and change his clothes.
Luo Yang lay limply on the bed. He retched a few times. His mouth continued to speak, "The one with the surname Wen, I'll … I'll make you admit defeat to me. I'll make you kneel in front of me … call … call me master!"
Over and over again, it was just these few sentences.
Little Eight squatted by the bed. He was exhausted. He poked Luo Yang's red face with his finger and said softly, "Brother? Brother? "
Luo Yang twitched a few times and then stopped moving …
On the other side, the Marquis's Mansion.
Li Shiyan lay at home for a day. His limbs were numb.
Because he drank with Luo Yang, the wounds on his body opened up. Master Marquis found out. He was so angry that he sent people to watch him every day and ordered him not to go out.
So, he didn't have the chance to go out even if he wanted to.
At dusk, he put on some clothes and walked to the courtyard to loosen up his meridians.
However, there were more than ten manservants standing in the corridor around him, all of them staring at him.
He strolled to a big tree in the courtyard, broke a wooden stick, and hit the potted plant beside him a few times. He also kicked the tree stump a few times, looking very bored.
Finally, after wandering around the courtyard a few times, he couldn't help but yell at the servants, "All of you, get out!"
The servants were under the orders of the Marquis of Kangding to guard the courtyard and keep an eye on Li Shiyan, the ancestor, so they stood there indifferently. Rather than being yelled at by the Heir, it was better to be beaten by the Marquis.
Li Shiyan roared for a long time, but seeing that they didn't have the slightest intention of withdrawing, he could only wave his hand and return to his room.
Soon after, Xiao Luzi came in with a bowl of medicine. As he blew on the steaming hot soup, he said, "Crown Prince, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot.
The doctor said that you must take the medicine on time. Otherwise, the wound will fester. "
"No!" He sat on the soft chair and put one foot on the table.
"I have to, the doctor said …"
"If you say one more word, I will gag your mouth. Do you believe me?" Li Shiyan made a threatening gesture.
Xiao Luzi instinctively took a step back and said pitifully, "Your Highness, I'm doing this for your own good. Your wound has not healed yet. If there are any more problems, the Marquis will skin me alive. Please take pity on me for the sake that I've been by your side for so many years. This medicine … you'd better drink it. If it gets cold, the medicine won't be effective anymore."
Hearing this, Li Shiyan lifted his foot and pretended to kick Xiao Luzi's leg. "When did you become so long-winded?"
Xiao Luzi leaned to the side and frowned. "So, Crown Prince, open your mouth and drink the medicine."
Li Shiyan's ears hurt so much that he drank the medicine. Xiao Luzi found a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth to avoid the bitter taste in his mouth.
Li Shiyan crawled on the table for a while. He was bored to death! Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he suddenly thought of something.
"Xiao Luzi, Xiao Luzi!"
He shouted at the door.
Xiao Luzi thought that something big had happened. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed in. "What happened, Crown Prince?"
As soon as he came in, he saw Li Shiyan sitting inside, safe and sound.
Not a single strand of his hair was missing!
Li Shiyan glared at him. "What are you shouting for?"
Xiao Luzi was slightly embarrassed. "This humble one thought that something happened to you."
"Idiot!" Li Shiyan went straight to the point. "Listen, hurry and find me a table at the Immortals' Competition Tower. Tomorrow, I will go and watch those who come to choose the top courtesan."
"Now?"
"Why? Can't I? "
"It's not that you can't, it's just that it's a little difficult. The competition starts tomorrow and the table is already full. Crown Prince, didn't you say that you don't want to go? So this humble one didn't prepare anything. At this time … "
"Why do you talk so much nonsense? Is it difficult for me to get a table from the Immortals' Competition Tower? "Li Shiyan's eyes turned cold.
Xiao Luzi felt a chill down his spine. He swallowed and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. This humble one will go arrange it."
"Go quickly."
"Yes!"
Xiao Luzi broke into a run and left.
Li Shiyan didn't want to join in the fun, but after staying in the courtyard for a whole day, his whole body was itching. If he went to watch the top courtesan selection, his father would certainly not stop him.
He rubbed his cheeks and sighed heavily.
Unconsciously, he thought of Ji Yunshu again.
After five years, he hadn't been able to see her properly.
The feelings that he had suppressed for five years were poked in the pit of his heart before he could speak them out.
Apart from regret, there was only regret.
…
Qiu Mansion
After Qiu Shu returned from the palace to see the Empress, she had been bedridden. She only got better today.
However, the Empress clearly did not allow her to participate in the top courtesan selection, so the participation booklet she sent to the Ministry of Rites was returned. At this moment, it was lying flat on the table.
She couldn't accept it!
She couldn't accept it!
Her heart was also filled with resentment and hatred towards her sister.
She grabbed the booklet, trembling all over. She shouted at the maidservant standing beside her, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to send it to the Ministry of Rites no matter what? Why haven't you sent it? "
The maidservant trembled with fear. She used all her strength to lower her head and said with a trembling voice, "Miss, this servant … this servant has already sent the booklet to the Ministry of Rites again and again. I've also said many things, but … but the Empress has ordered that the people in the Ministry of Rites … don't dare to accept it. This servant really has no other choice. Miss, this servant …"
"Trash! Trash!"
Qiu Shu threw the booklet in her hand.
