Wang Jing's expression was gratified as he said, "Tonight, the Minister of Public Works is holding a banquet in the Fragrance Courtyard. Come with me."
Lu Fei bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master. I'll be your attendant."
Wang Jing nodded and left. It seemed that he had important matters to attend to. Lu Fei came up with a plan. He immediately returned to his room and closed the door. He opened the System's interface and browsed through it. He asked, "System, System, is there glass powder for sale?"
The System replied, "One gram for ten thousand points."
"Damn." Lu Fei then remembered that everything in the System that was related to this era was extremely expensive. Otherwise, there would be bugs. Lu Fei thought for a moment and said, "Is there anything that can make people take off their clothes?"
The System replied, "The sun."
Lu Fei was overjoyed. "That's it. Give me a pack."
"One hundred points for a pack," the System replied.
So greedy. Lu Fei thought that he could exchange a hundred points for a hundred taels of gold. He carefully put away the powder, not daring to let it leak out. Otherwise, he would be the one to take off his clothes. Thinking of this, he asked again, "Is there an antidote for this?"
The System replied, "There is no antidote. It will dissipate naturally after a few days, but the process is very painful."
Lu Fei sucked in a breath of cold air. This was enough for Wang Heng to suffer. When the time came, if Wang Heng also attended the banquet, he would sprinkle the Thorny Sand Powder into Wang Heng's body in front of everyone. If the Thousand Trick Pearl was really on Wang Heng's body, then everyone would naturally see it and he would be able to clear his name.
At night, Wang Jing sent someone to inform Lu Fei. Lu Fei changed his clothes and rushed to the study. Wang Jing was already waiting there, practicing his calligraphy. When he saw Lu Fei, he immediately said, "Let's go. It's getting late."
Lu Fei followed Wang Jing into his carriage. Wang Jing said, "This time, the Minister of Public Works has invited a performance troupe from a foreign vassal state. He has invited all the important people in Luoyang to watch the banquet. When the time comes, a poetry contest will be unavoidable. I'll have nothing to worry about if I bring Mr Lu along."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Eldest Young Master is overpraising me. Feng Qi will definitely do his best and not let Young Master down."
Wang Jing nodded. Seeing Wang Heng's carriage passing by, Wang Heng greeted Wang Jing and left first. Wang Jing said, "It's said that Third Brother has brought along one of his most powerful generals. It should be something worth watching. Every time there's an occasion like this, the high walls of the various clans always have to compete."
Lu Fei thought to himself, now that the imperial court is on the brink of destruction, everyone actually still has this kind of mood. It seems like they don't care about the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, and can't wait for the chaos to start as soon as possible so that everyone can take advantage of it.
Lu Fei looked at the scenery outside. The carriage turned and drove into a large street. Lu Fei suddenly asked, "Will Miss Diao Chan be going tonight?"
Wang Jing smiled and said with an understanding expression, "Of course she'll be going. Miss Diao Chan was also invited by the Minister of Public Works today. When the time comes, she'll be singing for everyone." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Miss Diao Chan is a natural beauty. Anyone who sees her will be moved. In addition, Miss Diao Chan's zither skills are excellent. In all of Luoyang, anyone who has some authority will invite Miss Diao Chan to play a few songs. Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered a complete banquet. "
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Then Miss Diao Chan must have earned a lot."
Wang Jing laughed and said, "You can say that. Before Miss Diao Chan became Father's goddaughter, there were already many people pursuing her. Every day, they would give her countless rare treasures. Now that Father has taken her as his goddaughter, I'm afraid the Emperor will take her as his imperial concubine."
Hearing this, Lu Fei's heart trembled. He thought to himself that if Diao Chan really entered the palace, it would be very bad. Thinking of this, Lu Fei thought to himself that no matter what, he had to take Diao Chan away.
At this moment, the carriage had already stopped in front of the Wafting Fragrance Courtyard. The Wafting Fragrance Courtyard was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in all of Luoyang. Just by looking at its facade, one could tell how luxurious it was. At this moment, the entrance was already filled with carriages. Lu Fei followed Wang Jing down the carriage and walked straight inside. The servant at the entrance looked at the invitation and respectfully returned it to Wang Jing and said, "Young Master Wang, this way please."
Lu Fei thought to himself, 'It seems like the rooms of these nobles have already been arranged.' The two of them followed the servant forward. After passing through a corridor, their eyes suddenly opened up, revealing a large open space. The open space was surrounded by two stories of lofts. From upstairs, they could see the entire open space clearly. Lu Fei and Wang Jing were led to a private room on the second floor. Wang Heng, Diao Chan, and the rest were already seated there. The room was extremely large and led directly to the railing on the other side. Even if one sat down, they could still clearly see the situation below.
Seeing that Wang Jing had already arrived, Wang Heng stood up and said, "Big Brother, take a seat first. I'll go take a look elsewhere."
Wang Jing knew that he was going to find his friends to drink and did not stop him. He looked at Diao Chan and said, "Third Sister, are you ready? Is there anything else you need?"
Diao Chan smiled and shook her head. She looked at Lu Fei and said, "Young Master Lu, I plan to sing the 'Zither' today."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Then this one is truly honored."
Diao Chan chuckled and said, "You're really an interesting person. It seems like you're honored by everything."
Lu Fei pretended to be surprised and said, "Shouldn't I be honored that Miss Diao Chan is able to sing the lyrics I wrote?"
Wang Jing chuckled and said, "It's rare to see Mr. Lu bootlicker like this."
Lu Fei said awkwardly, "Young Master, please calm down. I'm just speaking the truth."
Wang Jing waved his hand. At this moment, the door was pushed open again. Two beautiful and tall women walked in. They were Wang Yun's two daughters. The Second Miss, Wang Ke, was muttering under her breath. The two of them sat at the table. Wang Jing said, "Second Sister, who provoked you again?"
Wang Ke said, "It's all because of that bastard Tang Wen. He actually dared to block my carriage and insult me."
Wang Jing smiled and said, "Who in Luoyang doesn't know that Shi Ru likes Second Sister? Why would he insult you?"
Wang Ke said, "I won't like that bastard."
Wang Jing said, "Keep your voice down. Everyone is listening."
Wang Ke seemed to be very obedient to her brother. When she heard that, she stopped nagging and focused on eating the melon seeds on the table. As she ate, she saw Lu Fei and asked, "Hey, Big Brother said that you're very talented. Seeing how beautiful I am, why don't you write a poem to praise me?"
