The young man looked at the enraged man and said with a smile, "This lady did not mean it. Why do you have to make things difficult for a lady?"
"I like it. It's none of your business!" After being stopped, the man's anger did not subside. Instead, he became even more furious. He struggled to break free from the hand and tried to push the young man away.
"Bang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden dull sound in the hall. Before the man's hand could touch the young man, his body drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight out of the door. A man in green behind the young man followed him out with a gloomy face.
"Thank, thank you, young man …" The young woman's expression was still a little panicked. She hurriedly bowed to the young man.
"It's alright. Just be careful in the future." The young man had already taken off his outer robe and said with a smile.
"Little Red, what's wrong with you? You've been here for so long, but you're still so careless …" When the young woman was being reprimanded by the brothel manager, the young man cupped his hands at Li Yi and turned to leave the brothel.
"This guy is not bad." Li Xuan glanced at the door and said to himself.
Li Yi was thinking about something, so he didn't reply.
Li Xuan thought that he had just recovered from a serious illness. He did not talk as much as before. He only cheered along with the crowd when the performance reached its climax. The Crown Prince, who was well-versed in the royal etiquette, completely let go of himself at this moment …
…
…
After a while, when the two of them were about to leave, a steward came forward and said with a smile, "You two, that young man has already paid when he left."
"Didn't he have the final say …" Li Xuan muttered, but he did not care. In his heart, he had a higher opinion of that young man.
When they returned, they still did not see Fang. Li Yi did not ask the guards to look for him and let him be.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Jadeite Courtyard, the young woman who had just smashed the plate was sitting on a stone bench by the wall. She looked a little sad and murmured, "Sigh, this month's allowance is gone again …"
"Then … are you injured?" After a long time, a voice came from outside the wall.
The girl sniffed and said happily, "No, a young master helped me block it. He seemed like a very nice person."
"Oh …" It was still silent for a long time before a muffled voice came from outside the wall.
"It's so nice to see you again in the capital …" The girl patted the wall with one hand, and the smile on her face widened.
This time, a voice came from outside the wall. The man laughed but didn't say anything else.
"Hey, stop. You can't go in here!" The urgent voice of the Jade Courtyard's steward suddenly sounded. The young girl raised her head and saw that the steward was being pushed out from the inside.
The man with a few bruises on his face scanned the courtyard angrily. When he saw the woman sitting by the wall, he sneered, "So you were hiding here!"
"How much is this chick? I'm buying her today! Let our brothers have a good time! "
Seeing the girl's curvaceous figure, a trace of lust appeared on the man's face. He strode over and said.
"Sir, isn't Little Red …" The steward hurriedly said and was kicked to the side by the men behind the man.
"If you talk again, believe it or not, I'll tear down your broken brothel!"
Seeing the men approaching, the girl's face showed some fear, but she still gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.
The man with the bruises on his face twitched and sneered, "B * tch, I'd like to see who's going to stop me now."
Just as the man finished speaking, he suddenly felt his vision go black. Something seemed to flash on the wall of the courtyard. Then, a huge shadow like a ferocious beast fell from the sky.
…
…
"Where did you go?"
Li Yi stood at the door and saw Fang leisurely stroll over from afar. He walked to the door and patted the dust off his body.
"I didn't go anywhere. I just wandered around in the city and came back." Fang shook his head and said calmly.
Li Yi glanced at him. "Your wife came to look for you just now."
As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Fang's expression changed drastically.
"If your wife asks later, you'd better say you went to the perfume workshop …" Li Yi kindly reminded Fang and walked back to the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
He felt that he needed to discuss with Second Granduncle how to solve his headache after sleeping for so long.
Fang stood in the courtyard and stretched out his sleeve to smell it. He nodded in agreement.
He didn't know the background of the workers in the capital city, so he was a little worried. It was better to keep an eye on them.
…
…
The morning court session was not early. The Emperor was benevolent and considerate of his subjects. He postponed the morning court session to about eight o 'clock in the morning.
Compared with the previous practice of waiting at the palace gate in the middle of the night and entering the palace at dawn, the Emperor's action made many aged subjects or those who lived far away feel deeply grateful.
Li Yi didn't feel anything about this benevolent policy because he got up before dawn. When he arrived at the palace gate, many officials were still waiting there.
Although the court session was set at eight o 'clock, the Emperor was benevolent and the subjects couldn't ask for a foot after being given an inch. Just after seven o' clock, there were already many people waiting at the palace gate.
After glancing at the crowd, a eunuch led Li Xianzi into the palace from the side door.
This scene made many officials stare with their eyes wide open. Although it was summer, it was still a little cold to stand here in the morning before the sun rose. Even the Prime Minister was freezing here. How could Li Xianzi enter the palace like this?
All the officials in the imperial court knew that Li Xianzi was favored by the Emperor, but until now, they didn't know how much he was favored by the Emperor.
It could even be said that if Li Xianzi didn't stand on the opposite side of the King of Shu, he would have a meteoric rise and become an influential figure in the imperial court, an existence that even they had to look up to.
Unfortunately, Li Xianzi was still too young!
At this time, almost everyone was thinking about the rumors in the capital city in recent days. Looking at the slowly closing side door, they all had different thoughts.
Although Li Mingze, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked calm, there was an unconcealable worry in the depths of his eyes. Beside him, Capital Governor Dong Wenyun looked in the direction of the palace gate with an uneasy expression. Several old generals frowned and gathered together to discuss something in a low voice …
On the contrary, Prime Minister Qin and the officials who were close to the King of Shu looked relaxed. Many of them even had a trace of sarcasm and ridicule on their faces.
So what if he was favored by the Emperor? Even if he was favored by the Emperor, how long could the Emperor favor him?
Only Prime Minister Qin didn't have any expression on his face. None of the officials standing beside him dared to look at the Prime Minister. Of course, no one saw the trace of pity in his eyes.
Li Yi didn't know what the officials outside the palace were thinking. Led by the eunuch, they came to the familiar garden after a few turns in the palace.
It was the same white fungus and lotus seed soup, the same home-cooked side dishes, and the faint fragrance of grape wine.
"Sit."
A middle-aged man wearing only an undershirt sat opposite him and stretched out his hand.
