Prince Ruyang's eyes scanned Shen Qi from head to toe and he chuckled.""From the looks of this little friend's body, it is indeed a bit thin. Later, I will ask Yang Ji to send some tonics. I think it will quickly restore the strength of a young man!”"Go and fetch the thousand-year-old ginseng from my study and give it to my little friend Wang."”
This Yang Ji was the housekeeper of the residence. He was originally a Han Chinese, but because he was saved by Prince Ruyang when most of the people had no way out, he later saw that he was very shrewd in doing things. No matter the big or small matters in the residence, he could handle them just right. Therefore, over the years, he was gradually made the housekeeper of the manor. It had been more than ten years since he came, but Prince Ruyang gradually could not leave him and brought him everywhere. Yang Ji heard the order and bowed slightly."Are we going to take all three?"
Prince Ruyang waved his hand and said indifferently,"It's just a small matter. Naturally, I'll take all three of them. In addition, take two sets of the Changbai Mountain's bear gall and give them to the imperial physician in the residence. Let him think about what to add to Little Friend.”Suddenly, he smiled and said," Little friend Wang, if you need anything later, just tell Yang Ji. Don't be embarrassed. Otherwise, you'll be the one at a disadvantage." En, this woman was meant to be loved.”She smiled flirtatiously.
Shen Qi felt a chill run down his spine. He remembered that Heavenly School had described Prince Ruyang as a person who liked to fish and women. He did not expect that he would casually say it in front of so many people. He smiled bitterly and said,"I understand."
" Haha…" King Ruyang laughed a few times and got on the carriage, heading towards the Wind Listening Tower.
Shen Qi sat in the car and looked at the people coming and going outside. It was very lively. The people on the street were dressed in all kinds of clothes, most of which he had never seen before. However, there were few bright and bright clothes and many tattered ones. It seemed that even the prosperity of the city could not hide the poverty of the people at the bottom. Those who were dressed in bright clothes were mostly high-ranking officials and nobles. Even on the streets, they were domineering. If they met any Han people who were not pleasing to the eye, they would just punch and kick them, completely ignoring the opinions of others. As for the others, they watched coldly from the sidelines as if they had nothing to do with him. They were probably already used to it.
Sad for his misfortune, angry at his lack of competition!
Shen Qi suddenly thought of this warning from later generations. He looked sideways at Prince Ruyang and saw him smiling as he looked out of the window. He seemed to be very interested in it and did not take it seriously. Perhaps in his heart, Han people were no different from pigs and dogs. As for himself, he was probably just a servant that could be looked at. Shen Qi's anger gradually rose in his heart, but he was helpless. Even if he could really kill Prince Ruyang, it would not help. This kind of thing would exist at any time and would not change. He was not a saint. He could only change himself. He would help others if he could. It was also the way of life in this life.
"Little friend, what are you sighing about?" Prince Ruyang withdrew his gaze from the middle of the street and turned to Shen Qi as he asked curiously.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about some past events.”Shen Qi shook his head,"Your Highness seems to be very interested in me!"”
Prince Ruyang's narrowed eyes suddenly dilated. After a long while, he chuckled and said,"Young friend, you are truly interesting. Not bad, this prince is extremely impressed by your profound knowledge and also admires your calm state of mind. Right now, there are very few people that this prince can use. If this young friend has the ambition, then you can display your talents.”These words were half-spoken and half-hidden. It could be said that he was giving Shen Qi an official invitation.
Shen Qi smiled and said,"I have no other strengths, only my martial arts that do not enter the eyes of His Royal Highness." However, these were just superficial details and were completely unrelated to what his highness had hoped for. His highness was truly loving him. "And this lowly one still has family matters to attend to. This useless body can still continue to run about. If one day, the family matters are over…" The corners of Shen Qi's mouth curled up but he did not continue. He did not reject it openly, nor did he agree. It was not easy to grasp the propriety in between. According to his understanding of Prince Ruyang for a night, he should not be killed just like that.
As expected, Prince Ruyang laughed and patted Shen Qi's shoulder."" If you ever get tired one day, the gates of my Imperial Residence will never be closed to you, hehe…" The two of them chatted casually and shared some interesting stories of the martial world. They saw that the Wind Listening Tower was in sight. Prince Ruyang got someone to lift the curtain in front of the carriage and turned to look outside. He sighed and said,"Wind-listening Tower is truly magnificent. Even the Imperial Palace doesn't have such a tall building. It is really difficult for the king of Nanyang to ask the emperor to write an inscription for him.”
Shen Qi also looked towards the building and saw that the Wind-listening Tower was located at an extremely high place in Dadu City. From here, there were probably dozens of steps to go up. Even the height of the building was five to six stories high. The huge door plate and the spacious space all showed the outstanding and extraordinary aura of this building. "It is indeed a good building."”
Prince Ruyang and Seventh Shen alighted from the carriage. Someone had already come forward to lead the way. When they arrived at the building, there was a person dressed in bright clothes. He was dressed very brightly. He was about 30 years old and was smiling at the people coming and going. He must be the owner of this building. Although he was extremely polite to everyone, he lacked the air of a businessman. Shen Qi was secretly amazed," A person who could build such a tall building here was not simple. From what Prince Ruyang said, it seemed to be related to the Nanyang Prince.
Shen Qi followed behind Prince Ruyang and arrived in front of that person. Prince Ruyang whispered to Shen Qi,""This person is the beloved son-in-law of the Nanyang King. He is an expert at accumulating wealth and can be considered a number one figure in the capital.”He stepped forward and smiled." Chisili, it's really hard for you to welcome guests personally. It's really rare!" Haha…"
The smile on Chisi's face became even brighter. Seeing that it was Prince Ruyang, he hurriedly said politely,"This old man has been waiting in the building for a long time.”He personally led the way.
"Brother Nanyang is here too?" Prince Ruyang asked in surprise. What a rare guest!" He followed Siri upstairs.
Shen Qi could not follow them. When he entered the first floor of the Wind Listening Tower, he already saw many guests. When everyone saw that he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth and a Han, they all revealed looks of disdain. However, everyone saw that he had come with Prince Ruyang. From Prince Ruyang's expression towards him, the relationship between the two of them was extraordinary. No one dared to provoke him, but no one was willing to step forward and answer. Shen Qi, on the other hand, found a quiet place and asked for a pot of tea. However, he was also at ease.
When it was noon, Shen Qi saw that the people who came were either rich or noble. Most of them were important members of the imperial court, but they were all arranged to go upstairs. There were also Han people downstairs. They were all rich people, or they relied on the power of some people. Everyone was happy, as if they were very honored to be here.
According to Shen Qi's temperament, it was not a problem to sit quietly for a day. However, at this time, he gradually grew impatient and was about to leave. Suddenly, several people started to argue upstairs. One of them shouted,"My young master came to the Wind-listening Tower to meet Miss Xiao Zhen. What do you mean by making excuses?”
Then, a faint voice said,"Based on your Young Master's status, could it be that none of these people can compare to your Young Master?”
The loud voice chuckled." Everyone's status is naturally very noble. You don't have to use it to pressure them. However, if we don't see Miss Xiao Zhen today, my young master will not let it go. At that time, even if you are the son-in-law of the Nanyang King, you will have to reconsider."”
Chisli was furious. If it was any other time, he would have gotten someone to beat him up. However, it was inconvenient for him to show off in front of the people in the court. Secondly, he still did not know the background of the other party. Although he was extremely angry, he suppressed it and said angrily in his heart,"I wonder which bastard let them in. Are the people of this building allowed in?”"In your opinion, is this Miss Xiao Zhen someone you can see whenever you want?" Your young master has a great background, but why is there a need to hide? You don't dare to show your true face?" He felt that he had lost face in front of everyone. If the other party was not an impressive figure, he made up his mind: He had to throw this person out of the fifth floor.
"You? You're not worthy!" The Great Mulberry Gate seemed to be afraid that others would hear them, so he chuckled and said,""If we can invite Miss Xiao Zhen to come out and play a song, then we can forget about this matter. Otherwise…hehe, although this building is tough, I'm afraid it can be put out with a fire.”What he meant was that if he didn't call out that Miss Xiao Zhen, the other party would start a fire.
As soon as he said this, the entire building fell silent. Shen Qi heard it clearly from downstairs. He thought to himself, Who is this person with such guts? Almost all the most powerful people in the Yuan Court were present. Could it be that the other party's background was greater than theirs? Could it be that Emperor Yuan Shun had arrived? He then shook his head. If it was Emperor Yuan Shun, things would not be so deadlocked. He turned his head to look upstairs and saw that the door to a room on the second floor was closed. The loud voice came from there. The others were in the hall on the second floor. The third and fourth floors had other uses, so no one had gone up yet. Chesley was standing at the door, looking extremely awkward.
"Hehe…Your Excellency is so arrogant! Even if the Emperor was here, he might not be so overbearing. This old man, King Nanyang, would like to see what kind of person he was. He actually wanted to set fire to the building. Was there still any law?”The King of Nanyang finally couldn't stand the embarrassment of his beloved son-in-law. He also felt that he had lost face in front of everyone and walked forward to the door. Usually, he was also a domineering person. When had he ever talked to others about the law? However, the other party seemed to have an extremely powerful background. Even he was a little flustered and gestured for his two family members to come forward and open the door. However, he made up his mind,[If the other party is really someone I can't afford to offend, then I'll immediately kill these two family members. Even my beloved son-in-law can do it…What's the point of thinking so much?] Could it be that the old man's heart had become small?
