Jing Ni then mentioned a few more things, finally bringing up Zhan Pianpian.

"Your Highness, Princess Zhan Pianpian, who infiltrated the Northern Qi delegation, has been frequently visiting Miaoyin Pavilion to listen to music lately."

“She asked Sang Wen, the most beautiful courtesan of Miaoyinfang, to sing the song Linjiangxian. Every time I went there, I would listen to that song, and she would sing it for half a day.”

Miaoyinfang is a song and dance hall, and Sang Wen is now the top performer of Miaoyinfang, equivalent to a popular singer in Li Chang'an's previous life.

Li Chang'an couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness, are you having your top performer play this song on repeat?"

Jingni covered her mouth and laughed, "It seems that this eldest princess has been conquered by His Highness, but that little girl Sangwen is also obsessed with singing. Two idiots."

Like Madam Wang of Wang Qinian's family, Sang Wen is now a core member of the Luo Wang organization.

The Net would support capable people like them, who lacked resources, to start their own businesses, and then use them to gather intelligence.

Li Chang'an only recently learned that Sang Wen, who was on the Langya Pavilion Beauty List, had become a member of the Luo Wang organization.

In the original novel, Sang Wen was in charge of the Baoyue Tower for Fan Xian and was also an intelligence agent, indicating that she had a talent for espionage.

Li Chang'an left the Luo Wang stronghold, used the Lingbo Weibu technique, and soared like a bird, arriving at Miaoyin Fang in less than a quarter of an hour.

Sang Wen is now practically the owner of Miaoyinfang, making her both the boss and the most beautiful courtesan.

Li Chang'an stopped on the roof of Miaoyinfang and heard a melodious tune coming from the top floor.

The voice was delicate and melodious, full of affection, like a lark's lament, touching the heart.

Zhan Pianpian has long since left, but Sang Wen is still listening to the song on repeat, which shows how much she likes the lyrics.

"Clang!"

Sang Wen was playing the pipa and singing "Linjiang Xian" alone in his room when he suddenly heard a noise at the door.

She opened the door and saw a token hanging on the door handle, bearing the symbols of Langya Mountain and Luo Wang.

Sang Wen's heart tightened, and he immediately put down his pipa, picked up the token with both hands, and knelt down respectfully.

"Your subordinate, Sang Wen, greets the Lord of Langya Pavilion!"

Sang Wen had never been to Langya Mountain for training and did not know the true name of Luo Wang. She always thought she was a core member of Langya Pavilion.

On her first day as a core member, the leader of Jingni taught them that the owner of this token was the master of Langya Pavilion!

Sang Wen felt a lightness in his hand, as if a figure had passed by him.

She was very nervous because Jingni had said that the Lord of Langya Pavilion would not show up unless something major happened.

"Close the door and get up to talk."

Upon hearing a gentle young man's voice, Sang Wen didn't dare turn around and obediently got up to close the door.

She walked with her head down to a spot not far from Li Chang'an before daring to slowly raise her head.

When she saw Li Chang'an's handsome face in the candlelight, Sang Wen was shocked and almost knelt down.

Name: Sang Wen

Age: 20 years old

Realm: Lower Third Grade

Talents: Music (Rank 8), Intelligence (Rank 8)

Abilities: Singing (Ninth Rank), Intelligence (Seventh Rank), Poetry (Sixth Rank), Management (Fifth Rank)

Emotion: 80

"This humble woman, Sang Wen, greets Your Highness, Prince Yong!"

With a single wave of his hand, Li Chang'an made Sang Wen unable to kneel down.

"You recognize me?"

Sang Wen's voice trembled with nervousness, "Back then, I had the honor of singing for Your Highness while following the former courtesan."

“I have known Your Highness’s two concubines since childhood, but they were bought into the palace.”

Sang Wen's mind raced. If Li Chang'an was indeed the master of Langya Pavilion, then it was best not to hide anything.

A prince, in fact, was supporting an intelligence agency.

Fine beads of sweat had already formed on Sang Wen's forehead.

Did she... find out something she shouldn't know?

I've been having some writer's block lately. I'll probably only be able to write three chapters, but I might not be able to release them all at once. I'll try my best to get back into the flow soon!

Chapter 96 Wan'er, do you want to take over the Imperial Treasury?

Li Chang'an knew that the Prince Yong whom Sang Wen met was actually Duan Shui in disguise.

During that period, the fake Prince Yong invited courtesans from Kyoto to his residence to sing and play games, while the real Prince Yong searched for talent all over the capital.

When Sang Wen entered the Yongwang Mansion, Qingwen had Duanshui bestow favors upon Sang Wen's team, making the courtesan famous.

Later, Sang Wen practiced singing diligently, honing his singing skills to the pinnacle of the ninth rank.

Her wish, of course, was to be able to perform at Prince Yong's residence, receive Prince Yong's favor, and then become famous throughout the capital.

In fact, Li Chang'an's reward to the singing girl was not money, but a new poem or song.

Not long after, Li Chang'an devised a plan to bring his mother out of the palace, and naturally, the Empress Dowager Liu forbade the practice of inviting singing girls into the Prince's residence.

Therefore, Sang Wen's biggest regret was that he was unable to enter the Prince Yong's mansion to sing and thus receive Li Chang'an's favor.

"Don't overthink it, sing it two more times."

Li Chang'an's voice showed no emotion, and Sang Wen obediently poured Li Chang'an a cup of tea, picked up the pipa, and sat not far from Li Chang'an.

Sang Wen was also listed on the Langya Pavilion's beauty list, with a fair and delicate face and a subtle, alluring charm.

Her captivating autumn eyes seemed to hold endless affection, and her slender waist and delicate, trembling shoulders exuded a pitiful yet alluring beauty.

Sang Wen picked up the pipa, but his hands trembled as he tried to play it, unable to find the right tune for a long time.

She couldn't help but look up and found Li Chang'an looking at her with a half-smile.

"Your Highness...please forgive me, I am...apprehensive and uneasy."

Li Chang'an took a sip of tea and then said casually, "Sang Wen, if you sing well, I will reward you with another new poem."

Sang Wen composed himself and tried to calm his emotions.

Regardless, His Highness Prince Yong is an extremely powerful figure in this capital city.

There's no point in worrying or being overly anxious right now.

Now that you've joined Langya Pavilion, you must obey the orders of the Pavilion Master.

After several failed attempts, Sang Wen finally succeeded in playing and singing.

When he sang the first line, Li Chang'an finally understood where Sang Wen's inexplicable beauty came from.

It was her full, rosy lips that gave her a captivating sexiness amidst her delicate beauty.

Sang Wen has a beautiful and useful mouth.

The song "Linjiang Xian" sung by this mouth is tender and moving, captivating the listener.

By the time Li Chang'an came to his senses, Sang Wen had already listened to the song on repeat three times. Sang Wen was no longer nervous and was completely absorbed in it.

As the pipa music ended, Li Chang'an said calmly, "Sang Wen, bring me pen and ink."

Excitement and surprise shone in Sang Wen's expressive eyes.

Li Chang'an's favor was her lifelong dream!

Li Chang'an sat at the table, while Sang Wen ground ink beside him. The faint scent of ink and body fragrance was intoxicating.

The saying "a beautiful woman adds fragrance to one's sleeves" perfectly describes this situation.

Li Chang'an's elegant and graceful slender gold script flowed from his pen, and beautiful words poured out from his tip, making Sang Wen so excited that he could hardly breathe.

It's perfect—perfect handwriting, perfect words, perfect person.

"The fragrance of lotus fades, and autumn's chill settles on the jade mat. I lightly loosen my silk robe and board the orchid boat alone."

Who sends a letter from the clouds? When the wild geese return, the moon will be full over the western tower.

"Flowers fall and water flows. One longing, two places of sorrow."

"This feeling is impossible to dispel; it just moves from my brow to my heart."

As Sang Wen watched this poem being born, he found every line endlessly fascinating and perfectly fitting!

Each line is evocative yet easy to recite, conveying profound meaning without being pretentious.

This masterpiece by the greatest female poet of all time strikes Sang Wen's heart with every word and phrase, as if her heart is being gently caressed by a warm, gentle hand.

Each touch sent a shiver through her heart, and a wave of bittersweet sorrow instantly filled her heart.

Sang Wen didn't know how long she remained silent before she said apologetically, "Your Highness, I'm so sorry, I lost my composure."

Li Chang'an smiled faintly, "It's alright. Good words should be paired with beautiful women. If they are given to vulgar people, it would be like a cow chewing on a peony."

The subtle and profound thoughts and faint sadness in this poem can only be appreciated by a delicate woman like Sang Wen, who has experienced loneliness and displacement since childhood.
