I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Compared with the scenery outside the ship, the interior of the houseboat is equally spectacular.

As soon as you step through the threshold, a rich aroma of incense and mellow wine hits your nose, making you instantly intoxicated.

In the corner, the singer played the guzheng lightly and danced gracefully, like a fairy in a painting.

Many young talents who looked like scholars sat around, drinking fine wine and appreciating the scenery outside the window. It was a grand gathering of literati.

Fang Yi's eyes moved among the crowd, but he did not find the figure of the prince from Japan.

Presumably, he has gone up to the private room on the second floor.

In order not to attract too much attention, Fang Yi found a seat on the first floor and sat down quietly.

Just as I ordered a pot of fine wine and took a sip, a young man came in from the corridor on the second floor, bowed and smiled at the people below.

"Everyone, we are fortunate to be gathered here today. Why don't we make friends through poetry to add some elegance to the occasion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall responded enthusiastically. It was obvious that this young man was famous.

Li Sheng whispered, "That's Zhao Nansheng, the son of the great scholar Zhao Daxueshi. He won the third place in the imperial examination last year, but refused the imperial reward. He is determined to win the first place this year."

Fang Yi nodded slightly. Zhao Nansheng was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a dignified bearing. He was indeed a rare talent among men.

No wonder he holds a high status among literati; he does have some real talent and knowledge.

"Brother Zhao's words make sense. Today, as scholars gather together to enjoy the scenery, we should recite poems and write couplets to share the elegance of the place."

On Zhao Nansheng's side, another young talent in luxurious attire stepped forward to respond.

"Your Highness, this man is Wu Tong, the son of the Minister of Justice Wu Dingyuan."

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Tong, only to see that his face was greasy and his smile was a bit arrogant.

You can tell at first glance that he is not a good person. It is not surprising that what goes up must be followed.

"Brother Wu is absolutely right!"

Zhao Nansheng readily agreed and then turned to the elegant room opposite.

"I wonder what Miss Mu Yuqing thinks?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the first floor looked up at the elegant room, their eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation.

Mu Yuqing is a famous talented woman in the imperial city with unparalleled beauty.

How many people long to see her beauty, but can only fantasize about it.

Even Fang Yi raised his head with a hint of surprise.

Mu Yuqing is actually the eldest daughter of Duke Anguo Mu Junsheng?

Recalling a casual chat with Emperor Taining, he once mentioned that when he was born, the two families had an agreement to arrange a marriage for him, and the object was Mu Yuqing in front of him!

Fang Yi felt a little surprised, but more of an expectation. Could this be the arrangement of fate?

"Mu Yuqing is a woman, it is not convenient for her to appear in public, you can do as you please."

A woman's voice came from the elegant room, three parts indifferent and seven parts cold.

Although it sounds pleasant to the ears, it is like a quiet deep pool without any ripples.

Fang Yi pondered in his heart, listening to the voice, it seemed cold and majestic, could it be the legendary ice beauty?

"That's great, but I have a favor to ask of you!"

Zhao Nansheng nodded and smiled, with a burning light flashing in his eyes.

"Will the winner of today's literary contest have the honor of becoming Miss Mu's guest of honor and having a long conversation with her in person?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the pleasure boat instantly became lively.

Mu Yuqing is not only the apple of the eye of Duke Anguo, but also a talented woman who is rising in fame in the imperial city, and her reputation is known far and wide.

Normally it was extremely difficult to see her, but if I could become her guest of honor...

Just thinking about it makes these literati and poets excited.

Even Zhao Nansheng and Wu Tong couldn't hide their inner anticipation.

"It's getting more and more interesting!"

In the hall, Fang Yi stroked his chin lightly, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

"Hey, Zhao family, try repeating it again if you dare!"

Wow! At this moment, the door of the private room where Mu Yuqing was suddenly opened.

A fat man with a bloated body and a greasy face walked out cursing.

"Tell me that again, if you have the guts. How dare you covet my sister? Believe it or not, I will make you pay for it."

The fat man opened his eyes wide, and the fat on his face trembled as he scolded, pointing directly at Zhao Nansheng and Wu Tong.

"As for you, you little pervert, if you dare to look at me again, I will dig out your eyes."

His series of roars instantly shattered the elegant atmosphere that had just been created. The scholars below were all shocked when they saw this scene, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.

"Who...is this person?"

Fang Yi was also stunned and turned to look at Li Sheng inquiringly.

Li Sheng smiled bitterly and told the truth: "That's Mu Wei, the young master of Anguo, the leader of the three most famous evil young men in the capital!"

That's how it is!

The way he curses in the streets shows that he is undoubtedly a playboy.

However, that chubby body really doesn't match his name.

Just as Fang Yi was muttering to himself, Li Sheng changed the subject: "Xiao Rou was bought by him!"

---

"Master Mu? Why are you here too?"

In the corridor on the second floor, Zhao Nansheng and Wu Tong also looked stunned.

Zhao Nansheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was secretly surprised. How could this little bully show up here?

"This... this is just for fun, please don't misunderstand our good intentions!"

The two of them quickly put on smiling faces and kept explaining themselves. In front of this evil young man, they no longer dared to show any arrogance.

"Happy? You are so brave to dare to touch my sister."

Mu Wei's eyes widened, not moved at all.

"I don't care about your other affairs, but if anyone dares to hit on my sister, don't blame me, Mu Wei, for being rude."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence. Not only the scholars downstairs were nervous, but even Zhao Nansheng and Wu Tong were extremely embarrassed. The romantic affair that they had been looking forward to was ruined by this little bully.

Fang Yi frowned slightly, thinking to himself, is this Mu Wei still a character obsessed with protecting his sister?

No, we can't let him ruin this good thing.

Just as he was about to stand up and intervene, someone else got there first and broke the deadlock.

"Tsk tsk, I think this is quite interesting."

The Japanese prince was seen waving a folding fan in his hand with a meaningful smile on his face.

"I've heard that Mu Yuqing is very talented and beautiful, and I want to see her with my own eyes."

"I heard that there is a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty: To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost. It is really desirable!"

There was a lot of teasing in his words, which made Mu Wei furious.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to give orders here?"

The Japanese prince folded his fan and looked down upon everything: "I am Kenjiro from the Shinno family of Japan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Xinye was the surname of the Japanese royal family. Could it be that the person in front of them was the Yamato prince who came to pay homage?

"The great Zhou has always been known as a country of etiquette, isn't it?"

Kenjiro Niino's tone was calm, but contained a hint of sarcasm.

"Is this what you call hospitality?"
