All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

"You're so muddle-headed, letting her rely on your power. Is that your power? That's the face of the royal family!"

"Uncle has already dealt with her for you. Be more careful next time! Sigh!"

"Kneel down here! Now!"

Li Chang'an pleaded earnestly, and surprisingly, Li Hongcheng's emotional value did not continue to grow in hatred, but instead increased to a positive 10.

It seems that some people can really be beaten into submission, perhaps because seeing Yuan Meng's swollen face made their sperm return from their brains to their crotches.

Li Hongcheng has the talent to command troops; he just has too much energy for it right now.

If he's on the right track, Li Chang'an, out of respect for Li Zhi, might consider grooming him.

Upon hearing Li Chang'an's order, Li Hongcheng wiped away his tears and knelt down to move in front of Li Chang'an.

"Uncle Yong..."

Li Chang'an said slowly, "You dare to lead people to attack me. For the sake of my brother Prince Jing, I will not impeach you."

"But disrespecting elders must be punished according to family rules."

After Li Chang'an finished speaking, he slapped Li Hongcheng again.

"Snapped!"

Li Hongcheng now has no courage whatsoever to confront Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an has never abused his power over the years, but once he does, few dare to provoke him.

Li Hongcheng covered his face, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Where is Si Lili's pleasure boat? Take me there!"

Li Hongcheng felt a chill run down his spine. Prince Yong had beaten Yuan Meng and the Crown Prince, and now he was going to beat Si Lili!

Chapter 39 Si Lili! Lust is a knife that scrapes the bone!

Li Chang'an was a household name in Nanqing, despite lacking real power.

Everyone knows that the literary scene in Nanqing has been weak for too long, and it was Li Chang'an who single-handedly reversed the decline!

His poems and essays spread throughout Nanqing, and his calligraphy and paintings became highly sought after!

Li Chang'an knew very well that as long as he didn't form factions or plot a rebellion, no matter how much trouble he caused, his life would not be in danger.

He made such a big fuss, of course, intentionally.

Prince Yong's behavior is immoral and even violates the law, which will surely draw criticism in the capital and may even lead to impeachment by the Censorate.

He did this for three reasons.

Firstly, he is still quite young, and his unruly and lawless behavior goes unchecked.

Now that things have blown up, some ministers will surely suggest that the emperor send Consort Liu out of the palace and properly discipline Prince Yong.

Secondly, the image of Li Chang'an as a playboy and frivolous young master that he had previously cultivated is now gradually being overshadowed by his reputation for talent.

His image is becoming increasingly positive, and the emperor might even assign him a job, which is not good.

Because he was not ready, Luo Wang lacked a large number of truly capable core members and needed to develop for several more years.

Even if he acts foolishly now, the emperor is unlikely to immediately entrust him with any serious matters.

Thirdly, Si Lili is a famous beauty. Even if we can't have her now, we must take her as soon as possible. It's impossible for her to personally entertain customers and collect information.

Li Hongcheng touched his face; although it was slightly swollen, it was nowhere near as exaggerated as Yuan Meng's.

He knew that Li Chang'an had come to teach him a lesson for frequenting brothels too early, and that if the matter went to Prince Jing, Li Chang'an would probably be in the right. So he had no choice but to back down today.

He slowly stood up and said solemnly, "Uncle Wang, Si Lili hasn't received any guests yet. I hope you will be lenient and not hurt her."

Li Chang'an asked casually, "What, are you very familiar with her?"

Li Hongcheng quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I've only met her once."

“Unlike Uncle Wang, who is rich, I have to do some business to make a living. I have a small share in Zuixianju.”

"Miss Si Lili is stunningly beautiful. In a few years, she will surely be the most beautiful courtesan and make a lot of money for Zui Xian Ju. So please, Uncle Wang, be lenient."

Li Chang'an glared at Li Hongcheng and said, "What are you saying? Yuan Meng seduced you first and then acted rudely towards me, so I taught her a lesson."

"If Si Lili knew the rules and didn't act so arrogantly, why would I hit her?"

"The whole world knows that I am a refined man. It was Yuan Meng's rudeness that forced me to take action!"

Li Chang'an spoke his last words loudly, and everyone watching in the hall outside could hear them clearly.

Almost all the women in brothels shared the same view.

"How could His Highness Prince Yong, who can write such tender words as 'My heart is bound to you for life, I have shed a thousand lines of tears for you,' possibly be a belligerent person!"

"It must be Yuan Meng's arrogance and rudeness that pushed Prince Yong to the edge, which is why he made his move!"

"Yes, yes, His Highness Prince Yong's gentle and refined manner suggests he must be a cultured man!"

……

Women are naturally prone to jealousy, let alone brothels where women are plentiful.

Li Hongcheng bowed and led the way, while Li Chang'an followed behind with his maid. The group walked down from the pavilion to the riverbank below.

As expected of the largest brothel, Zuixianju even includes the first-class Crystal River water within its premises.

Li Chang'an and Li Hongcheng stood on the riverbank, while the pavilion behind them on the opposite bank was crowded with men and women.

Without exception, all of these people came to see Li Chang'an.

Because Si Lili hasn't started taking customers yet, she only has a slight reputation, while Prince Yong is famous throughout the land!

"I have finally seen Your Highness in person! It would be worth dying for you today!"

"Your Highness is truly handsome and refined; no wonder you can write such tender and moving poems!"

"Fortunately, Yuan Meng did not disturb His Highness's enjoyment. If His Highness had left in a huff, how would we have been able to see him!"

……

Praise for Li Chang'an and curses against Yuan Meng filled every room.

Yuan Meng, who was crying in her room, let out a heart-wrenching wail after hearing these words!

That's it, her reputation as the most beautiful courtesan is completely ruined!

She missed a chance to make a name for herself, and she was filled with deep regret!

What she didn't know was that even if she could laugh all night, Li Chang'an would still find fault with her and punish her.

Li Hongcheng said, "Uncle Yongwang, Miss Lili is not supposed to receive guests until tomorrow. Why don't we send her a poem first to gauge her feelings?"

At this moment, Qingwen bowed and said, "Your Highness, why don't Xiren and I capture that girl?"

Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle, "Qingwen, are you addicted to fighting? We're supposed to be civilized people."

"Today I am not a prince, but a refined gentleman who has come here for leisure, so let's follow the rules."

Then, he turned to Li Hongcheng and said, "Hongcheng, go and tell Miss Lili that if she agrees to meet me, I will give her a famous piece of calligraphy."

"Tell her to hurry up, or I'm leaving!"

As soon as Li Chang'an said this, the crowd instantly erupted in excitement!

Li Hongcheng's resentment at being beaten vanished instantly. As he went to deliver the message, he ordered his men to prepare writing materials and a desk.

His Highness Prince Yong left his calligraphy on the spot, and His Highness's Drunken Immortal Abode is about to become famous throughout the world!

Before long, a beautifully decorated pleasure boat sped towards them from the depths of the Crystal River!

Li Hongcheng squinted at the pleasure boat, "Damn it, so the pleasure boats on the Liujing River can row this fast!"

The women in the crowd were filled with envy.

"If His Highness leaves me a message, I'll swim right over!"

"Si Lili is famous for her beauty. I'd like to see just how beautiful she really is!"

"Damn! I've been roaming the Crystal River for over a decade, and the pleasure boats have always moved as slowly as turtles. I've never seen one row this fast before!"

Before long, the swiftly approaching painted boat stopped at the shore, and several maids carrying lanterns led Si Lili out of the boat.

As dusk settled and the lights began to twinkle, a woman in a long black dress walked up to Li Chang'an amidst gasps of amazement.

Her features were so exquisite they were almost perfect, her eyes were captivating, and her black hair was styled in a bun and draped down her back.

She is charming without being vulgar, alluring without being gaudy; she is indeed a beauty.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Most of the people were seeing Si Lili for the first time and were completely shocked.

Although Li Chang'an was mentally prepared, he was still momentarily moved.

Even the two beautiful maids, Xiren and Qingwen, stared blankly at Silili.

Si Lili gracefully curtsied and bowed her head in greeting, saying, "This servant, Si Lili, greets Your Highness, Prince Yong."

"It is my great honor to have Your Highness here in person."
