As a result, as soon as Li Chengze left, Crown Prince Li Chengqian arrived.

The two groups followed one after another.

Li Chengyuan even suspected that the prince had been hiding and had not come over.

"Brother, you are here too?"

Because Li Chengyuan's adoptive mother was the queen, Li Chengqian and he were nominally brothers from the same mother, so there was nothing wrong with Li Chengyuan calling the prince "big brother".

Li Chengyuan was also very casual with the prince and didn't even greet him.

The prince didn't care at all about Li Chengyuan's casual attitude.

After all, we grew up together and have long been accustomed to it.

"Third brother, was that your second brother just now?"

"Yeah!" Li Chengyuan replied as he and the prince walked inside the palace, "It's my second brother. Come sit with me for a while!"

"Why did he come to see you?" the prince asked directly.

"What else can you do? Win me over? And you brought me 500,000 taels of silver!"

"You don't want it?" the prince asked nervously.

"Of course not!"

"That's good!" The prince smiled.

However, Li Chengyuan said, "Don't laugh, big brother. Did you bring me some money too?"

"Hahaha! Nothing can be hidden from you!" The prince laughed and said, "Since you have been crowned king, my elder brother must have prepared gifts for you! But I am not as rich as my second brother, so I only brought you two hundred thousand taels.

In addition, there are some shops and land deeds, which are all profitable businesses.

You've just established your government and need a foundation. You can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor!"

Li Chengyuan sighed inwardly when he heard this.

As expected of the crown prince, he is indeed more thoughtful than Li Chengze.

Although the money given by the prince was only 200,000 taels.

But the shops he gave were estimated to be worth far more than 200,000 taels.

Especially for Li Chengyuan who has no foundation, shops and land deeds are definitely the most suitable for him.

After all, the money will be spent one day, but as long as there are shops and land deeds, the palace will not suffer from poverty!

But unfortunately, Li Chengyuan still refused to take the money.

Li Chengyuan knew the two brothers Li Chengze and Li Chengqian very well.

They appear to be very friendly on the surface, but what they do behind the scenes is more cruel and ruthless than the other.

Taking human life lightly is a common occurrence for them.

So, even though he is their brother, Li Chengyuan doesn't want to hang out with them at all.

So after hearing what the prince said, Li Chengyuan directly refused: "I appreciate your kindness, brother, but I cannot accept this gift!"

The prince was obviously stunned after hearing this.

He thought that as his younger brother, Li Chengyuan would definitely support him.

But unexpectedly, Li Chengyuan refused.

This made the prince feel a little cold in his heart.

Is the third brother also going to compete with him for the position?

Li Chengyuan didn't care about the prince's thoughts, but just repeated to the prince what he had said to Li Chengze before.

The main point is, I just want to be a playboy prince and don’t want to get involved in your affairs!

After hearing this, the prince was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly laughed.

"Haha, Third Brother has his own ideas, that's a good thing. Fine, I'll take the gift back first. Come back to me whenever you want it!"

After saying that, the prince patted Li Chengyuan on the shoulder and left with a fake smile on his face.

Chapter 5: Going to Miaoyinfang! First meeting with Gong Yu!

That evening, in the imperial palace, Emperor Qing's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, this was just delivered by the Inspection Institute!"

Eunuch Hou bowed and handed the secret letter to Emperor Qing with both hands.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing put down the memorial in his hand and picked up the secret memorial to read.

What was written above was exactly what happened in Prince Li’s mansion at noon.

Everything that the three Li Chengyuan brothers said was recorded above, almost word for word!

After reading it, Emperor Qing's expression did not change, except that his eyes narrowed slightly.

This is the second time that Li Chengyuan has made it clear that he does not want to participate in the fight for the throne!

Of course, Li Chengyuan had no say in this matter.

But Li Chengyuan's current behavior made Emperor Qing think more.

This third brother...is he really like this?

Or do you still want to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?

After thinking for a while, Emperor Qing suddenly asked, "What is Li Chengyuan doing now?"

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has already left the palace. It seems that he is going to..." Eunuch Hou said this with a conflicted and hesitant expression.

Emperor Qing asked impatiently.

"Tell me? Where did you go?"

Eunuch Hou closed his eyes in fear and said guiltily, "Miaoyinfang!"

"!!!"

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at the secret memorial.

It clearly contains the second prince’s recommendation to Li Chengyuan!

Zuixianju on Liujing River, Miaoyinfang on Tingyun Street, Qingyunlou on Xisi Street...

Emperor Qing was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"You bastard, you really surprised me!"

......

Myonbo is a very special place in Kyoto.

There are countless brothels of various kinds throughout the city of Kyoto.

There are countless flower boats on the Liujing River alone.

But there is only one place like Miaoyinfang in the whole city of Kyoto that sells art but not bodies!

In the past, some people did not believe in evil and tried to force the girls in Miaoyinfang to sell themselves by causing trouble.

As a result, the troublemaker was directly kicked out of Miaoyinfang.

He was beaten all over that night.

The most bizarre thing is that the government did not take any action afterwards.

This leads people to speculate that there must be a powerful boss behind Miaoyinfang.

It was also because of this incident that Miaoyinfang became an extremely mysterious entertainment venue in Kyoto City, and no one came here to cause trouble anymore!

......

Miaoyinfang is not located in a prosperous area, it is just an ordinary street.

But Miaoyinfang occupies a large area, with three floors. The decoration is simple yet luxurious, low-key yet classy.

Li Chengyuan was not unfamiliar with Kyoto City, but this was his first time here.

As soon as you enter Miaoyinfang, the sound of moving music will enter your ears.

Entering the main entrance, the first thing you see is the spacious lobby.

There is a large stage in the center of the hall.

There are dancers dancing on it.

Surrounding the dancers were a group of female musicians playing various instruments.

There are round tables around the stage.

Those sitting there were all high-ranking officials in the capital.

From the elderly in their seventies and eighties to teenagers, all are obsessed with the music.

In fact, many people come here not just for the music.

Some people come to feast their eyes.

After all, all the performers on the stage are beauties.

In addition, this is also a good place to discuss poetry and philosophy.

Because the girls here are not only good at music, but also have some knowledge of other arts such as chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs.

Many talented scholars and writers once came here to compose poems and enjoy themselves to the accompaniment of music.

Therefore, this place is also known as the most elegant entertainment venue in Kyoto.

Highly sought after by readers!

.....

As soon as Li Chengyuan came in, a steward came to greet him.

After a few simple words, Li Chengyuan followed her upstairs.

Along the way, many people discovered Li Chengyuan.
