The waste prince is so fierce

After watching the two princes leave, Li Quan's personal eunuch Liu Yang dared to step forward and cautiously reminded:

"Your Majesty, are you still going to Pingkangfang today?"

Li Quan was in high spirits:

"Go, why not?"

Why worry?

Only picking up girls!

……

The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.

The curfew in the capital of the Dakang Dynasty was not strict.

Some markets are brightly lit at night and bustling with people, even more prosperous than during the day.

Pingkangfang, which is known for "gathering the wealth of the Six Dynasties and capturing all the elegance of the Nine Provinces", is the best among them.

Since the lights came on, countless men of letters, wealthy businessmen, officials and dignitaries have come in droves.

The most eye-catching building in Pingkangfang is the Golden Phoenix Tower.

At this time, the Golden Phoenix Tower was already packed with guests.

I don't know which guest it was, but he suddenly shouted:

"Where's Miss Mingyue? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

The originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet, and a moment later, the guests all started to make a noise:

"That's right, please ask Miss Mingyue to come out!"

"I came here only for the bright moon."

"Didn't Miss Mingyue say she would have a new song today? Why haven't we seen her yet?"

……

The noise in the lobby was so loud that it could be heard even in the backyard.

In the tallest small building in the backyard, Mingyue, who was long-awaited by the guests, had a calm face as she drew her eyebrows in front of a bronze mirror.

Behind Mingyue, the maid Xiaoman's eyes turned red. She endured it again and again, but finally asked:

"Ms.... Miss, do you really want to do this?"

Mingyue paused, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes, but soon, her expression became more determined, and she asked casually:

"Will that person come today?"

Xiao Man bit her lip and nodded:

"Yes, Uncle Chen and the others have made arrangements."

The master and servant stopped talking and quietly dressed Mingyue.

Not long after, an anxious voice came from outside the door:

"Oh, my aunt, please hurry up. If you don't show up, those distinguished guests will tear down my Golden Phoenix Tower."

Mingyue then stood up, opened the door and smiled:

"Let's go!"

Mother Tian was a little annoyed at first, but when she saw Mingyue's unparalleled beauty, she no longer had any temper.

She has been in the world of romance for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has met someone as beautiful as Mingyue.

Amid the cheers of the distinguished guests, Mingyue, wearing a veil on her head and a veil covering her face, walked onto the stage.

He just bowed and the whole hall seemed to have paused. Everyone held their breath and stared straight at the center.

Mingyue walked to the table and waved her white hand gently.

Under the veil, her red lips parted slightly.

The beautiful singing and music blend together like the gurgling water, flowing through everyone's ears and into their hearts.

"The brocade zither has fifty strings, each string and pillar reminds me of my youth..."

At this moment, everyone forgot about fame, wealth, and grudges, and the only thing left in their eyes was the woman immersed in the music.

"This feeling can be recalled, but it was gone at that time."

When the song ended, the entire Golden Phoenix Tower remained silent.

After a long time, someone finally shouted:

"it is good!"

The others seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and cheers rose one after another:

"Good, it's so beautiful. I've never heard such a beautiful singing voice."

"What a wonderful 'This feeling can wait', what a wonderful 'At that time I was already lost', this poem and this song will surely be passed down through the ages!"

“The lyrics are good, the music is good, the song is good, and the person is even better!”

……

Just as everyone was enjoying Mingyue's performance, a fat man with a red face suddenly stood up from the crowd, stared at Mingyue with lustful eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Ms. Mingyue, how much silver do you need to redeem yourself?"

This person really spoiled the mood, and many people couldn't help but scold him.

"How can this be possible? Is Miss Mingyue something that a person like you can dream of?"

"Burning the piano and cooking the crane is a disgrace to civility!"

"Why don't you look in the mirror and see if you are worthy of combing Miss Mingyue's hair?"

……

After being scolded, the fat man not only did not calm down, but became drunk:

"I am the owner of Chen's Grain Shop. I am extremely wealthy. Can't I afford to buy a prostitute?"

As Fatty Chen spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes and held them up in his hand proudly:

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, is that enough?"

The person who was cursing just now took a deep breath.

You know, the commercial tax in the entire capital is only 40,000 to 50,000 taels a month.

It would be more than enough for Fatty Chen to use it to seduce a prostitute from a brothel.

As a result, most people were silent, but they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous:

What a pity that such a beauty as Mingyue has to fall into the hands of a filthy and filthy person like Fatty Chen!

Perhaps because someone couldn't stand Fatty Chen's boasting, a cold sneer sounded in the hall:

"Miss Mingyue is such a beauty, you want to marry her for only 50,000 taels? I'll offer 60,000 taels!"

This sudden surprise attracted everyone's attention.

Someone who knew him immediately exclaimed:

"It's President Ma of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. I heard that half of the silk in the capital is traded by his family."

After these two people started bidding, Jinfeng Tower did not actually stop them, and many people in the lobby became interested.

Following Chairman Ma, there was a new bid soon:

"Sixty thousand taels is nothing. I will pay seventy thousand taels."

"I'll give you 75,000!"

"Eighty thousand, I'll pay eighty thousand taels!"

……

As more and more people bid, the price continued to rise. In the end, only Chairman Ma and a young playboy were left competing.

"Ninety-three thousand taels!"

"Ninety-five thousand!"

"Ninety-six thousand taels!"

President Ma's face twitched, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"One hundred thousand! I'll give you one hundred thousand taels!"

Wow!

The whole lobby was in an uproar.

Although Miss Mingyue was indeed beautiful, the sky-high price of one hundred thousand taels still shocked everyone.

The exchange rate of gold to silver in the capital is only one to ten.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold.

I've only ever heard of spending huge amounts of money, but today this is spending tens of thousands of money!

Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled, the young man who had just been competing with President Ma suddenly stood up and smashed the wine jug on the table directly into President Ma's face.

Just as President Ma was about to get angry, the voice in his ear made him feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave:

"I am Zhou Shangkun, my father is Zhou Andong!"

"How dare you, old dog, snatch a woman from me with your filthy money?"

Zhou Andong?

The prime minister of the dynasty? !

The huge Golden Phoenix Tower fell silent in an instant.

Everyone looked at President Ma, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, with pity.

Everyone was very cautious, not even daring to breathe, for fear of incurring the wrath of the prime minister's son.

Just at this moment, a voice came from the corner:

"Sangkun, you are very angry now!"

Everyone turned around in surprise, wanting to see who was so bold as to go against the prime minister's son.

Only Mother Tian from the Golden Phoenix Tower heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this familiar voice, but at the same time, she was filled with resentment:

"This little rascal, when we were watching the moon together yesterday, he called me Little Sweetie, but today he has set his sights on Mingyue."
