Recently, the capital, which had not been lively for a long time, suddenly became lively again.

The first was that the Emperor, who was known for his perverted and lecherous character, had taken a fancy to a folk singer on one of his tours and had made her Noble Consort out of public opinion.

The other was that when the emperor looked at the world and had nothing to do, he thought of his own younger brother, Zhaohe and County King, who were not married yet.

On a whim, he betrothed Yuwen Lingxi, the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, to Zhaohe County King.

Once the imperial edict was given, the ladies of the capital immediately broke out into an uproar.

This Zhaohe, County King, was unable to find a good husband with a lantern. Not only did he look like that deity, but he also didn't put on any airs towards others.

As for Yuwen Lingxi, it could be said that no one knew anything about her. It was said that she had been sent by the prime minister since she was a child to be acknowledged as a teacher in Penglai.

"Zhaohe, you have no doubts about this marriage?" It was Qin Feng, the chief physician of the hospital, who had been Lu Zhaohe's childhood friend.

The two of them were different from the other young masters in the capital.

One was handsome and the other was elegant and graceful. It could be said that he had gained many girls' hearts.

Those who were seated and reading the book did not even raise their eyes, but only softly uttered, "It is impossible to disobey the decree of a sovereign."

"But this Yuwen Lingxi doesn't even know what she looks like. This is too rash. Moreover, the young daughter of Shang Shu has been in love with you for such a long time, it's not impossible for her to plead with the Emperor for a change."

"Exchange?" Lu Zhaohe put down the book in his hands and looked at his friend.

"Recently, the Prime Minister's influence has been growing. Since ancient times, the Emperor has been happy to have a marriage alliance with the Prime Minister. Furthermore, she might even be a beauty. " Lu Zhaohe laughed at himself. The imperial family was ruthless, and all emotions needed to be considered for the imperial family's interests, so how could he be an exception?

"Forget it." Qin Feng waved his hand, "I'm also not willing to interfere in the affairs of your royal family. I'll just go to the restaurant and drink. As the saying goes, one drunk can ease a thousand worries."

Saying that, he dragged Lu Zhaohe to the newly opened tavern.

Everyone in the capital knew about the restaurant that Qin Feng was talking about.

It was located in the most prosperous city district in the capital. It was unknown who was supporting it from behind, but in this capital city where both fish and dragons were mixed together, it was actually the only one.

The restaurant's decorations were unique. It was as if he had ascended to the moon in the nine prefectures, yet it was also as light and agile as a boat sent by a cool breeze.

All day long, there were always silk bamboo, and literati were always in constant contact with each other.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a poem hanging in the middle of the lobby: "Drink at night in the West Pit. The deities teased in surprise. Su E passed the wine to the wind and sent them off. Absorb all the golden ripples, drink all the wine in the sky, and fight for the star's bow. Bee Jane's new pet. Violet Tulip's Dew of Gratitude. Suddenly, Herb Garden became empty. Mengmeng. The tent is cold, the moon is down and the lights in the painting building are dim. "

It happened to be Zhou's "Drunken Spring Wind" from the Song Dynasty.

Qin Feng was stunned by Lu Zhaohe's first sentence. After some thought, he turned to Lu Zhaohe and said, "No wonder so many literary people are attracted here. These words are hanging in a really interesting way."

Lu Zhaohe didn't say anything after hearing that. He was just a bit surprised when he saw the lady playing behind the curtain.

Even though there was a curtain in front of her, and she couldn't hear a single word, she was still able to sense the delicate aura of a woman.

This kind of zither arts was not something that could be cultivated by ordinary people. Not only was he secretly curious, when did such a beautiful woman appear in the capital?

Qin Feng saw that he didn't say anything, so he also looked over. The woman's beautiful hands were like moonlight, he couldn't see anything else.

"The scenery is good, and people are good people. Zhaohe, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy such a wonderful person in the future."

Lu Zhaohe heard his words and realized that he had been rude as he stared at the curtain. He sighed inwardly and laughed at himself, "There are flowers and wine, that's enough. Why do I need those beauties? Brother Qin, you have forgotten that the person in the palace who you brought back from the restaurant is still causing a ruckus. "

Lu Zhaohe was talking about what happened in this restaurant recently.

Somehow, that day, His Majesty had suddenly decided to pay a secret visit to the people.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw a woman in red dancing on the stage. Her figure was coquettish and alluring, and her charm was extremely alluring. As a result, they had an idea and brought her back to the palace.

It was known that this commoner woman was naturally not as well-bred as those girls from prestigious clans. In just a few short months, she had already made the imperial harem full of smoke and miasma.

The more it was like this, the more the Emperor felt that he owed her. After several rewards, he had actually ascended to the position of Noble Consort.

However, this reward naturally attracted the attention of the other powers in the court.

All the ministers had written a letter saying that this demoness was a disaster for the country. For a time, the emperor was extremely anxious and did not know what to do.

Qin Feng laughed and waved the fan in his hand. The portrait of the beauty on the fan was exquisite, and with one glance, one could tell that the owner's identity was extraordinary.

Qin Feng, this is something that everyone knows.

"Alright, Zhaohe, I'll treat you to a drink today to repay your kindness."

Lu Zhaohe understood, so he walked to the seat closest to the curtain and sat down. He told the waiter to bring the best wine in the restaurant.

"Two esteemed customers, the wine in the store is the best. However, how and when are you going to drink it?" Look, this Peach Blossom Wine is naturally suitable for drinking with girls. Naturally, the best girl Red would have to have a happy occasion in order to taste its sweetness. If the two of you do not mind, our shopkeeper has said that he would bring out the wine that is most suitable for you to drink and let you have a taste. "

Lu Zhaohe and Qin Feng looked at each other and smiled. The meaning was obvious. Even the waiter could speak so well. No wonder this store was well-known.

"Alright, then we'll do as your manager says."

The name of the wine that came up was' Floating Life '. Even a perennial drunkard couldn't help but spit it out after drinking it in one gulp.

However, after the wine was drunk, a faint sweetness came from the tip of his tongue, as if he could feel the joy of the wine.

"Good wine." Lu Zhaohe sighed as he savored the wine with Qin Feng.

He was an idle prince, so he naturally understood what Floating Life truly meant.

People often said that the imperial clan was a good place, but it also required one to have a life to enjoy it.

Over here, the two chatted merrily as they watched the waiter deliver the wine. At the same time, they started to discuss the people who were able to drink the Floating Life Wine.

It was said that the most famous form of the "Drunken Spring Wind" was "Floating Life".

However, everyone had only heard about it and never seen it before. Now that it was so easy to see, they naturally had to comment on it.

In a booth on the second floor of the restaurant, a woman silently watched everything that was happening in the restaurant.

Careful people would discover that there was a heaven and earth difference between this girl and the one playing the zither downstairs. One was as pure as ice, while the other was as crafty and sleek as silk.

She stood there, causing people to unconsciously lock their gazes at her. Her presence and demeanor was even more enchanting than the alluring fox-like immortals in the book.

"Miss, I've already given you the Floating Life. What should we do next?" The little girl was wearing a light green jacket and skirt. Although her appearance was inconspicuous, a knowledgeable person would be able to tell that the material of her clothes was not bad either.

The woman's lips gradually curved upwards, revealing her signature smile.

"Alright, I told Jian Su to stop playing the zither in the future. Tomorrow, she will officially enter the capital as Yuwen Lingxi."

The servant was slightly stunned, "But what about Yuwen Lee? Even if we haven't seen each other for so many years, it would be impossible for us to recognize our own daughter wrongly. Furthermore, Miss, the birthmark on your body is not easy to imitate. "

"Other than Yuwen Lee, who knows that I have a birthmark, the others definitely don't. Being rich is a crime, that old thing is not foolish enough to make it public to the entire world. " The woman's face was like a peach flower, and her red clothes appeared extremely bewitching, as if she was using the gentlest tone to say the most malicious words.

Although she and Yuwen Lee were father and daughter, but all her love and hate, when sent to Penglai was destined to never again.

"Qing Er, how long have you been by my side?"

Qing'er didn't know what to say. After so many years, rumors had been circulating around Penglai Valley about her young mistress.

It was said that the little mistress never had people by her side for more than three months. Those people either got a fortune from being a slave, or died in a burial ground where they were left alone to feed the wolves.

"Reporting to Master, from the time I followed Master to today, it has been exactly three months."

Yuwen Lingxi looked calmly at Qing Er, who was kneeling at the side. She was not a kind person. Who would reveal her secret? Who would be honest and live in the future? She had already come to a conclusion in her heart.

The people who had been by her side for so many years would never last more than three months. Firstly, she was worried about the people around her, and secondly, she was well aware of her own nature.

"You are aware of my rules. Go and find the shopkeeper downstairs to collect the silver. You know the outcome of the person who appeared before me."

Qing Er could only kowtow and say yes, she would never forget the look on her master's maid's face when she died. Not only were her bones gone, but her family was also despised by everyone in this life.

It was her misfortune and great fortune to have met such a master.

An hour later, another big event happened in the capital, and that was the return of Yuwen Lingxi, who had been granted a marriage.

It was said that when she returned, even the guards at the city gate had lost their minds, and they were like fairies above the nine heavens, quietly floating to the world.

For a time, the capital began to boil with excitement once more. In this peaceful era, what people lacked the most was the chance to chat over meals and tea.

"This young miss of the Yuwen Family, is a talent from the heavens, I'm afraid even that person who is being pampered at the palace cannot compare with her."

In the restaurant, those who heard this had looks of disdain on their faces, "How is that possible? The one in the palace has already surpassed the number one beauty in the capital, so how can a lady with Yuwen Family compare to that one?"

The one in the palace was Noble Consort, who had just been brought back from the outside world. Her real name was Lee Xihe. It was said that her beauty surpassed even the second daughter of the first class beauty in the capital, Yuwen Lingmin.

For a time, the restaurant was buzzing with discussions about the recent happenings in the capital.

Lu Zhaohe could only helplessly shake his head and laugh when he heard these words. He then continued tasting the wine.

On the other hand, Qin Feng's interest was piqued a little, and he wanted Lu Zhaohe to accompany him to see the beauty's face.

Lu Zhaohe was unable to refuse and could only pay the bill half-heartedly as he followed Qin Feng to watch the show.
