Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 258: The Lowest Man is Invincible

Throughout history, neither Wang Xi nor Li Jieman have had a very high desire for wealth, and they haven't really put much effort into managing their businesses, whether it's alcohol or tooth powder.

Because wealth doesn't mean much to them, as long as they maintain their current status, they basically don't have to worry about money, so what they really pursue is power.

With power comes wealth, of course.

For Lady Zixia, it was the opposite. Wealth is the foundation of power. With her wealth, along with her status and network of connections, she was able to influence some policies. The powerful and influential people in the Tang Dynasty were also very powerful, after all, it was a transitional stage from aristocracy to bureaucracy.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lady Zixia is a woman.

Although the era of Empress Wu Zetian is gone forever, the seeds sown have taken root and sprouted. There were still quite a few ambitious women in the Tang Dynasty during this period.

Now that the Beauty Wine is in hand, as a businessman, he naturally wants to find ways to expand its influence and even monopolize it.

The impact on Guanzhong could then affect the entire Tang Dynasty, and even most of the world.

The nameless academy today presents a new look. It is no longer a place of extravagance and debauchery, but rather filled with a demonic atmosphere. Only the children, women, and a small number of students continue to study opera.

Most people, on the other hand, are learning new subjects.

Among them, students led by Dou E, Cui Gu'er, and the Li brothers began to study chemistry.

Wang Xi knew how to begin with chemistry, but he couldn't teach them directly. Firstly, there weren't many equipment and raw materials available, and secondly, they wouldn't be very interested if he taught them directly.

Therefore, Wang Xi had them refine elixirs.

Then record the specific process of each reaction. In fact, alchemy is currently a kind of chemical reaction, such as mercuric oxide, mercuric sulfide, lead powder, etc., all of which are the current elixirs.

Due to the lingering influence of the Wei and Jin dynasties, these纨绔 (wan ku, spoiled young men) were actually quite interested in alchemy. The ones who consumed the most Wushi San (五石散, a type of elixir) were either these纨绔 or their fathers.

Wang Xi planned to start with alchemy to explore chemistry.

Linghu Baodi, Xue Jun, Han Xiaohu, and Yang Hun, on the other hand, prefer aerodynamics. They do have a talent for this, and they are currently researching wings that can fly.

According to the principle of bird wings, as long as both air and water have buoyancy, then as long as the buoyancy is fully utilized, it should be able to fly.

Regarding medicine, Wang Xi only said one thing: "In the future, if we get injured in a fight, we'll need to use it, and some people will also be joining the medical field."

The main research focus at present is disinfection.

As for Wang Xi himself...!

Of course, he was still in the opera department, but he had his reasons. His struggle with his aunt had come to an end, so Hongxiu followed the Sun family and left Chang'an to go home and bury her parents.

In fact, Hongxiu also wanted to send her parents back, but she didn't want others to use this matter against Wuming Academy. Once the matter was settled, she took the initiative to ask to go home to bury her parents.

However, Wang Xi specially sent people to protect Hongxiu, and they will return immediately after the burial.

Hongxiu loved staying in this academy more than anyone else.

Inside the dance studio, Wang Xi, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, peered through the small door, looking left and right. "Mi'er, Bao'er, are you ready yet?"

"Shut up! Do you know how difficult it is to put on this outfit?"

"Do you need my help?"

"Come in and give it a try."

".!"

After a while, they heard a creaking sound, followed by Xue Bao'er's voice, "We're coming out, close your eyes."

Wang Xi exclaimed excitedly, "I am a man, what is there to be ashamed of?"

After a moment of silence, the door slowly opened, and Ashina Mi and Xue Bao'er emerged, dressed in their personal attire. However, both women were hunched over, their hands covering their chests.

Wang Xi said urgently, "Why are you covering it up? There are no outsiders here. Let me see how big it is, cough cough, and whether the clothes fit."

The two women exchanged a glance, then slowly lowered their hands.

Needless to say, this girl's figure is definitely exquisite and well-proportioned. As for the size, Ashina Mi has been exercising for a long time, so her body is very upright from front to back and looks very elastic. Wang Xi can testify to this.

Xue Bao'er, on the other hand, was pampered and her breasts were not as firm, but they were larger and rounder, and were visibly soft and bouncy.

"ah!"

Xue Bao'er suddenly screamed and covered her eyes, "You dog-headed vulture, you're doing this on purpose."

Wang Xi asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Ashina Mi also turned her head away, angrily saying, "How ugly!"

Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, looked down, and gently patted him, "You, you, have you never seen the world before? You're really hopeless. I'll punish you by not letting you eat meat for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

He quickly apologized to the two women, saying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! This really was just an accident."

Xue Bao'er said, "Aren't you just deliberately trying to take advantage of us by changing your methods? And you even said you'd teach us to dance."

"it is true."

Wang Xi took two deep breaths, constantly replaying his memories with Hua Daiyu in his mind. Sure enough, it worked wonders; the swelling immediately subsided, and he felt as if he had entered a Buddhist sanctuary, free from all distracting thoughts. He then said to the two women, "It's alright! It's alright! Come here, come here, I'll teach you this new kind of dance."

The two women walked forward, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

"do not do that."

Wang Xi said, "If I really wanted to take advantage of you, would I have gone to such lengths? I did everything by force."

Ashina Mi said, "Your words are meaningless. Show us a dance first."

"no problem."

Wang Xi immediately stood on tiptoe, clapping his hands as he jumped up, chanting, "Dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang."

After the two women saw this, they realized that there was indeed some skill involved.

After Wang Xi finished dancing, Xue Bao'er immediately came forward and took Wang Xi's arm, asking, "Wang Xiaoque, what kind of dance is that?"

Wang Xi pulled her into his arms again. She was so soft and delicate, and the pure, innocent fragrance emanating from her body was truly invigorating. "Is my self-created pointe dance beautiful?"

Xue Bao'er said shyly, "It does look quite interesting."

Ashina Mi, standing to the side, rolled her eyes. Xue Bao'er was much more proactive than her, often appearing very affectionate with Wang Xi in front of her.

Wang Xi, of course, wouldn't show favoritism. He pulled Ashina Mi over with one hand, saying, "Mi'er, let your husband hug you too. Give me a kiss, mua!"

Ashina Mi immediately rolled her eyes at him shyly.

Xue Bao'er pouted and gave a soft hum.

Wang Xi immediately turned around and kissed her lips, saying, "My main principle is fairness."

The two women exchanged a glance, immediately feeling extremely embarrassed. They spat at each other and broke free from Wang Xi's embrace.

After some playful banter, Wang Xi began to teach them ballet in a serious manner.

The reason Wang Xi chose to teach them wasn't really to feast his eyes, but rather because it wasn't convenient for him to teach the junior sisters, since the attire was a bit too daring. As for his own women, it didn't matter. So he planned to teach Ashina Mi and Xue Bao'er first, and then let them teach the other junior sisters.

When they started practicing dancing, the three of them became serious.

Ballet requires a high level of talent; those with slightly stiff bones will find it difficult to practice. Fortunately, Ashina Mi and Xue Bao'er are naturally active and have practiced dance since childhood, making them very flexible—so flexible that Wang Xi even has some strange and wonderful postures in his mind.

An hour later.

"Ouch!"

The carefree Xue Bao'er sat on the ground without any hesitation, panting as she said, "This toe dance looks simple, with just a few movements, but it's really tiring to practice."

Wang Xi was exhausted, but after hearing what she said, her eyes lit up. "Do you want me to give you a massage?"

"Okay!"

Xue Bao'er glanced at Ashina Mi beside her.

Ashina Mi pursed her lips. "I'll go take a bath and change my clothes first."

Taking a bath? Wang Xi's eyes darted around, and he said, "Mi'er, the master has always taught us to conserve water, let's take a bath together."

"Don't even think about it! Go ahead and try to pinch me."

Ashina Mi made a face at him and then went into the lounge.

Wang Xi scratched his head regretfully, then leaned closer to Xue Bao'er and said, "Bao'er, let me give you a massage."

"go with!"

Xue Bao'er suddenly got up and said, "Go take a bath." She then swayed her round, beautiful buttocks and quickly walked into the lounge.

Wang Xi shook his head and said, "People shouldn't be too greedy!"

Upon exiting the dance studio, I saw Huangfu Sengnian leaning against the back gate, pretending to be deep in thought.

"Where is your servant?"

Upon seeing Wang Xi approach, Huangfu Sengnian asked.

Wang Xi rolled her eyes and said, "I wonder who she went to drink with this time."

Given Li Bai's personality, how could he possibly stay quietly by Wang Xi's side? Under normal circumstances, he would be tasting the wine, only following Wang Xi if he was going out or something, unless he was hungover.

Wang Xi then asked Huangfu Sengnian, "Do you still remember our plan?" He added, "It's something only the two of us know."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "The inner palace."

Wang Xi nodded.

Huangfu Sengnian said, "I have been observing."

Wang Xi asked, "Is there anyone suitable?"

Huangfu Sengnian asked, "Do you have anyone in mind?"

Wang Xi said, "I just observed who was unsuitable."

"For example?"

"Aokiji, Linglong, and the others—anyone who is lively and enthusiastic in the academy—are not suitable."

"Just as I observed."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "I already have a few candidates in mind. I intended to have them teach opera at the Jiaofang (a music academy). When do you plan to make the arrangements?"

Wang Xi said, "There's no rush. His Majesty's mind is currently on governing the country. Besides, we still need to teach them some dance, music, and some academic subjects."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "Let's talk as we walk."

When these palace courtesans first arrived, the two men wondered if they could use them to expand their influence within the harem.

However, this plan was quite bold, and the two of them were very cautious about it. They still had some doubts about whether to take the first step, but they had to be prepared for any eventuality.

Although Wang Xi is currently favored, he does not have Consort Wu Hui, because there is no conflict between them. If one wants to attack Consort Wu Hui, one must start from this aspect.

at dusk.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Ashina Mi jumped off and quickly stepped into the courtyard.

“Mi!”

Wang Xi had barely uttered a single word when Ashina Mi vanished. He shook his head, unconcerned. He was a man of simple pleasures, and that was just how he was. If he was going to lie down, he would lie down in every way.

As soon as he stepped off the carriage, Wang Facai suddenly walked out the door and said, "Young Master."

Wang Xi nodded. "How's the winery going?"

Wang Facai said, "Everything is going smoothly."

Wang Xi asked, "What?"

Wang Facai said, "Lady Zixia believes that the profit from Hero Wine is too low and too many people like it, so she asks us to do our best to brew Beauty Wine."

Wang Xi frowned slightly. "What do you think?"

Wang Facai said, "I think there might be something else going on here. The current Hero Wine has been improved and is no longer what it used to be. With a little promotion, it will definitely sell even better. After all, fruit wine and grain-brewed wine each have their own flavor, so there's no reason to reduce production. Unless...!"

Wang Xi said, "Unless she knew beforehand, this wine will be difficult to sell in the future?"

Wang Facai nodded.

Wang Xi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll listen to her. I also want to see just how many tricks she has up her sleeve."

"Yes."

After dinner, Wang Xi noticed that Ashina Mi had been sullen since returning home, so he quickly hugged her and asked, "Mi'er, are you angry with me?"

Ashina Mi said with slight dissatisfaction, "You've been spending every day with Xue Bao'er lately."

She knew this would be the outcome from the moment she chose to marry Wang Xi, but she was used to it. Her father and uncles all had many wives and concubines.

If she were just a concubine, she wouldn't care too much. After all, the dog-headed vulture wasn't exactly a gentleman. But Xue Bao'er and Wang Xi were childhood sweethearts, and Xue Bao'er often challenged the status of the principal wife, so she was still a little jealous.

Wang Xi said nonchalantly, "Mi'er, you've wronged me. I didn't spend every day with you, just occasionally. The one I spend every day with is you. This whole night, you were the only one who occupied me."

Ashina Mi glanced at him sideways and asked, "Do you have that?"

"What?"

"That's the thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"It's...it's what Hua Daiyu forbade us to do." As she spoke, Ashina Mi almost buried her head in her towering breasts.

Wang Xi said regretfully, "No, not at all."

Ashina Mi suddenly raised her head again, her face flushed, but her expression was very serious as she said, "She must be after me."

Wang Xi shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that. I don't know when my father-in-law will write. What if he doesn't write? You know how hot Bao'er's figure is. It has to be me. If it were someone else, they would have lost control long ago."

He acted as if he had suffered a loss, which only shows that when people are shameless, they are invincible.

Ashina Mi pouted and suddenly whispered, "I'll sleep in your room tonight."

Wang Xi was delighted, but then hesitated and asked, "Could it be Hua Daiyu?"

Ashina Mi snorted, "It's none of her business."

Wang Xi nodded.

It was around midnight.

As usual, Sister Hua knocked on the window. "Little princess, it's getting late, time to go!"

Before he could finish speaking, the window opened, and Ashina Mi stood inside, dressed neatly. "I'll rest here tonight."

Sister Hua was taken aback, thinking to herself, "My young master is truly remarkable." But she said aloud, "Little princess, this won't do."

Ashina Mi said, "But I am already Que'er's woman."

Sister Hua frowned. "That's impossible! I've been eavesdropping here the whole time, cough cough cough!"

Ashina Mi said, "We are at the academy."

Hua Jie stared at Ashina Mi in shock, then turned her head to look inside. She saw Wang Xi wearing a bathrobe and making faces at her. She couldn't help but say, "Young master, you're really useless. You should let the little princess handle this kind of thing."

Wang Xi remained silent, exposed her bare shoulders, and began to perform a provocative striptease inside.

That's truly exceptional.

Sister Hua was completely speechless. She rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

Ashina Mi's face lit up with joy. He quickly closed the window and turned around. He saw a fair and delicate arm reaching out from inside the bed curtains. "Mi'er, come here quickly, your husband can't wait any longer. Hehe!"

Ashina Mi blushed deeply, but still walked over. Just as she reached the bed curtains, Wang Xi dragged her inside.

"Hey! Wait a minute."

"We can't wait any longer."

"Well!"

Meanwhile, Sister Hua naturally went to Princess Xue to report the situation.

"College?"

Princess Xue felt a little embarrassed. "Did Mi'er tell you?"

Sister Hua said, "I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion the young master has given the little princess. Not only that, I just heard that the young master seems to be somewhat ambiguous with Xue Bao'er as well."

Princess Xue gently rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. "He's just like his father. What's done is done, so let them be."
