All the flowers have faded, yet she alone remains radiant, captivating the small garden with her charm. Her sparse shadows slant across the clear, shallow water, and her subtle fragrance drifts in the twilight.

If I were to write a poem, it must be one that captures the fragrance of the floating blossoms.

After all, there was a plot to borrow from; he's not stupid.

After finishing writing, Li Qiye handed it to Fu Xiang's maid.

A courtesan like Fu Xiang, who was a top courtesan in the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment institution), was served by someone.

The maid took it and immediately went to Xiang Fuxian to prepare to give her the poem.

Fu Xiang took it, and a look of surprise flashed in her alluring eyes.

Looking at the powerful, flowing characters, her lips couldn't help but utter words.

"All the flowers have faded, yet she alone remains radiant, captivating the small garden with her charm. Her sparse shadows slant across the clear, shallow water, and her subtle fragrance drifts in the twilight."

"The shadows are sloping and the water is clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats at dusk."

Fu Xiang whispered the last two lines of the poem repeatedly.

Meanwhile, scholars and writers were astonished.

"What a poem!"

"What a beautiful poem! What a wonderful line: 'Sparse shadows slant across the clear, shallow water; a faint fragrance drifts in the twilight.'"

"I never imagined that Mr. Qiye could not only tell wonderful stories, but also compose poetry!"

Zhou Li was stunned.

Is this a good thing?

Why can't he understand?

However, seeing the astonishment of the literati, he knew that Li Qiye's poem was very impressive.

very nice!

At the same time, Lin'an was also unaware of the Mingli calendar.

"Is this poem good?"

Pingyang praised it, saying, "Excellent."

Lin'an immediately asked again, "How does it compare to Huaiqing?"

Pingyang gazed at Li Qiye with eyes as innocent as a young girl experiencing her first love, and spoke.

"It is no weaker than Huaiqing!"

A young girl's heart pounded wildly at that moment, as if she had met her soulmate.

Lin'an was astonished.

"That's amazing! I'd like him to send me a poem too!"

Pingyang quickly stopped him.

"Lin'an, you've only been listening to the story for a day, so I'm afraid Mr. Qiye won't give you a gift."

Lin'an thought it made a lot of sense.

"Then I'll come again tomorrow, and ask him for more after I've given him the reward."

Pingyang nodded in agreement.

The two agreed to come again the next day.

At this moment, Li Qiye asked Fu Xiang.

"Is Miss Fuxiang satisfied?"

Fu Xiang snapped out of her daze and smiled sweetly at Li Qiye.

That smile and charm were captivating.

"Fu Xiang likes it very much."

Li Qiye smiled slightly, "I'm glad you like it. Then I'll head back now."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

what?

Why do we have to leave?

Xu Pingzhi couldn't understand why Li Qiye would leave if this wasn't an opportunity.

He was anxious.

However, the next moment, there was no rush.

"Mr. Qiye, please don't leave. Fuxiang would like to invite you into the pavilion for a chat."

Wow!

Upon hearing this, Xu Pingzhi was dumbfounded.

You can even do this to make the courtesan want to stay with you?

Can you teach me?

If Li Qiye knew what Xu Pingzhi was thinking, he would only say...

It requires both modeling skills and talent; you can't learn that.

Even literary figures were surprised.

The fragrant maiden took the initiative to keep him there!

It's incredible.

Zhou Li was dumbfounded.

"Fu Xiang, I am the champion today."

However, Fu Xiang said, "Your poem is not even half as good as Mr. Qi Ye's. Li Qi Ye is the best today."

boom!

Zhou Li was stunned by those words.

Gritting teeth.

"But Li Qiye did not participate."

Fu Xiang simply said, "As long as you compose poems at the Jiaofangsi, it counts as participation."

Zhou Li was speechless.

Some people also made fun of them.

Li Qiye glanced at him and followed Fu Xiang upstairs.

Zhou Li's eyes were bloodshot. He was ridiculed and walked out of the brothel in a disheveled and angry manner.

Upstairs, in the Floating Fragrance Room.

The woman was incredibly fragrant and alluring.

Fu Xiang poured wine for him.

"Mr. Qiye, I never expected you to have such poetic talent. It truly surprises Fuxiang!"

Li Qiye drank the wine in one gulp and praised its fragrance.

"Miss Fu Xiang is too kind. I am indeed surprised by your talent and beauty."

The two chatted back and forth, and Fu Xiang's eyes became slightly glazed.

This man is truly perfect.

"Mr. Qiye has gifted me a poem today. I am sure that Fuxiang will become famous in the future. I don't know how to thank him enough."

Li Qiye joked, "Then it's not too late to talk about it when you become famous, Fu Xiang. You can even offer yourself to me then."

After saying that, Li Qiye stood up.

"It's getting late, Qi Ye, I'll take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiang quickly replied, "I can pledge myself to you today."

ha?

today?

"Let's do it another day."

Today won't do; my mother-in-law is not someone to be trifled with.

After hearing this, Fu Xiang wanted Li Qiye even more.

asked again.

"When is another day?"

Good guy!

This is the problem.

Li Qiye answered directly and softly, "How about every single day?"

Fu Xiang nodded gently.

Ha, they agreed so readily? That's quite an eye-opener.

After making an agreement with Fu Xiang, Li Qiye left.

As soon as he went out, Xu Pingzhi rushed over.

At the same time, he also attracted the attention and curiosity of literati and scholars.

Xu Pingzhi was puzzled.

"So fast?"

Li Qiye was a man of integrity.

"I haven't done anything, son-in-law. I'm leaving now, let's go back."

Xu Pingzhi followed them out of the brothel.

Pingyang, Lin'an, and Chu Caiwei, who had just broken through to the next realm, also left after seeing Li Qiye depart.

However, they had just left the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district).

Because it was late at night, only a few people selling green tangerines remained on the street.

Li Qiye and Xu Pingzhi, who had just come out, hadn't taken more than a few steps when they noticed that quite a few people had walked out in front of and behind them.

Li Qiye frowned.

The one who comes is not kind.

He figured he couldn't hide it anymore and that the Demon Child's power would be revealed.

P.S. I'm asking for all flowers, monthly tickets, and ratings.

Chapter Twenty: He was originally an unparalleled crown prince, Chen Tan Ningxiang!

Chapter Twenty: He was originally an unparalleled crown prince, Chen Tan Ningxiang!

Eight people approached, their bodies large and varied, but all exuding a powerful aura.

They're all obviously brutes!

Judging from their auras, Li Qiye discovered that most of them were at the ninth rank of Refining Essence and the eighth rank of Refining Qi.

Looking behind me, I saw ten people, most of whom were of the ninth or eighth rank.

Such a level of skill would probably only qualify a night watchman as a lowly gong player.

They couldn't even qualify as night watchmen.

However, this is somewhat tricky for Li Qiye and Xu Pingzhi.
