Dew Hall, Imperial Study.
Li Erlong was furious. He immediately gave the order to forbid Empress Zhangsun from leaving the palace. Even Changle was grounded by him.
Then, he summoned Zhangsun Wuji to come over for an audience. He, Li Er, wanted to immediately go out of the palace to meet Lin Xuan.
Chang 'an City, East City.
Purple Bamboo Court was bustling with guests.
"Masters, please come in."
The brothel madame inside saw Li Er and his wife dressed in embroidered clothes and immediately smiled and welcomed them.
Along the way, he kept introducing them to the singers of Purple Bamboo Court. From the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, to singing and dancing, there was nothing that Purple Bamboo Court could not find!
At this moment, not to mention Li Er, even Zhangsun Wuji was a little embarrassed. He couldn't keep his face.
After all, this was their first time stepping into such a romantic place.
Especially since their goal this time was not the female singers, but the recently famous Lin Xuan.
Indeed, when Zhangsun Wuji said that he wanted Lin Xuan.
The brothel madame at the side was dumbfounded. Her eyes were wide open. Even the guests who were walking back and forth around her looked over with strange expressions on their faces.
"Heavens, Young Master Xuan is really charming!”
"Today, even a man is convinced by him?”
"Haha, that's right. If it wasn't for Young Master Xuan's high price, I would have wanted to meet him.”
“....”
All of a sudden, the guests started discussing with smiles on their faces.
In an instant, Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji's faces turned even uglier, turning red and white.
"Master, why do you have to do this? Couldn't he just summon him into the palace to meet him?”
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji lowered his voice and said. He felt that it was fine for him, but His Majesty could not be looked at like this!
It was an insult to the dragon's might!
When Li Er heard this, he waved his hand. He had a strong point, which was that he could endure. This was nothing.
Moreover, if he revealed his identity, it would be meaningless. Wouldn't he be scared silly?
Then how could he probe?
Although the madam was very surprised, she still walked up to the second floor and prepared to ask Lin Xuan for his opinion.
After all, he was now the Courtesan Belle of Purple Bamboo Court, a golden signboard that could not be neglected at all.
A moment later.
The brothel madame returned with an awkward smile on her face.
"My apologies, my Young Master Xuan refuses to accept guests.”
As soon as he said this.
Li Er's face couldn't help but twitch a few times. Although he was incognito, this was the first time someone dared to reject him.
"Purple Bamboo Court, he's just a singer. How can he refuse to accept guests?”
Zhangsun Wuji, who was at the side, could not sit still anymore. His expression immediately darkened as he berated. This singer was simply rebelling against him!
He almost revealed their identities, but was interrupted by Li Er in time.
The madam was also helpless about this. She could not force Lin Xuan to not see her. If she angered him and directly jumped ship, it would be a huge loss.
"Then there's no room for negotiation?"
In the end, Li Er asked humbly. They were already here, but if they didn't even see anyone, how embarrassing would that be?
"It's not that there isn't. It's just that this…"
The brothel madame smiled and rubbed her hands.
This meaning was very obvious. If he really wanted to see Lin Xuan, it would depend on whether he could afford it.
Li Er understood and glanced at Zhangsun Wuji beside him.
"How much?"
Although Zhangsun Wuji was dissatisfied, he still asked.
"100,000 wen."
"How much did you say? I didn't hear it clearly!"
As soon as the brothel madame finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji was dumbfounded. Even Li Er, who was at the side, twitched again.
100,000 wen, you still dare to ask for it!
One had to know that this was already equivalent to a year's worth of land rent for 400 commoners. It could be said to be an astronomical price!
The brothel madame's attitude towards this was also very firm. She said that it was indeed not this price normally, but that it was difficult for them to see Young Master Xuan, so they had no choice.
In the end, she even shouted that if she wanted to see him, she had to pay him. Otherwise, she would go to the side.
Li Er couldn't help but sigh. He was Emperor Taizong, and there were countless people who wanted to meet him. Now, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to meet a person, and he even had to pay a sky-high price!
How ironic!
"Master, I think we should just reveal our identities. This is simply a black shop.”
"That Lin Xuan is probably different from the rumors outside. I think he is a greedy hypocrite.”
Zhangsun Wuji remonstrated once again. He felt that the Emperor had miscalculated by not bringing Wei Zheng here. Otherwise, with his character, he would have overturned Purple Bamboo Court long ago.
Li Er still shook his head, but his expression was a little cold. He said in his heart, You'd better pray that you can interest me, or you're finished!
