766 The Olive Branch was Rejected
As a few of them chatted, some boats started to gather around them. Even the four flower boats seemed to be slowly approaching Li Fazhi’s boat.
In fact, these people’s goal was very simple. They just wanted to get close to the third Prince, Yuwen Feiye. If they were lucky, there was a high chance that the third Prince would take a fancy to them and bring them to the third Prince’s Palace to be his concubine.
Being a concubine in the Third Prince’s Palace was not an ordinary concubine. If the third Prince could ascend to the highest position, she would become the emperor’s concubine in the future.
How tempting!
Also, who didn’t know that Li Fazhi was the richest man in Qingfeng city?
Even if she weren’t chosen by the third Prince, if she were chosen by li Fazhi, then she wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life. If she were favored, then she would have endless wealth.
For these prostitutes who came from a lowly brothel, this was a chance to rise to the heavens in a single bound. They could not miss it.
The five people on the boat were well aware of the people approaching.
Liu Yichen chuckled and said in a teasing tone, ” boss li, look at these beautiful women. All of them are staring at you with bright eyes. Do you have any girls you like? ”
Li Fazhi immediately smiled and replied, ” I think those girls are staring at master Liu. After all, Master Liu is the most handsome.”
However, Yuwen Feiye laughed and said, ” haha, young master Liu, young master Li, I see that the two of you are extremely humble.
Then, he looked at the women around him with a picky gaze and said with some disdain, ” these women are just vulgar. How can they be worthy of the two young masters? ” After saying this, he looked at the two of them with a serious yet joking expression and said, ” if the two of you are willing, you can have all the beautiful women you want!”
His words were clearly referring to the two of them being rich and could have any woman they wanted. In fact, he was secretly extending an olive branch to test or recruit them.
After all, the place with the most beautiful women in the world was the Imperial Palace.
His words implied that as long as the two of you were willing to follow him, they could choose any of the beauties they wanted.
To a lustful person, these words were indeed very attractive.
After all, no matter how rich they were, they couldn’t snatch women from the royal family.
However, it was a little awkward.
After Liu Yichen and Li Fazhi looked at each other, Liu Yichen smiled and said, “Third Prince, although there are many beautiful women in the world, it’s hard to find one that suits your heart!”
Li Fazhi also laughed, “Young Master Liu, I didn’t expect us to feel the same way!”
The two of them pretended not to understand Yuwen Feiye’s hint and simply rejected him.
When Liu Yichen smiled in response to Yuwen Feiye, he glanced at Jiang Zhennan from the corner of his eyes. He thought sarcastically to himself, ‘If I’m going to suck up to someone, it should be the man sitting opposite me. If I can rope in this defender-general of the state, why should I worry about not being able to rise to a high position? ”
In today’s world, who didn’t know that the emperor’s most trusted person was Jiang Zhennan?
Someone had once accused Jiang Zhennan of betraying the country and rebelling against the Emperor. As a result, the person who complained was immediately beheaded by the Emperor, and his corpse was left to dry at the city gate for three days and three nights.
The emperor’s action was entirely out of favoritism and trust in Jiang Zhennan.
However, no one knew why the Emperor did not even trust his own son but trusted Jiang Zhennan.
Was it because Jiang Zhennan was helping him to protect this country?
No one knew the answer.
Would Yuwen Feiye regret it when he found out that the opportunity to befriend the defender-general of the state, Jiang Zhennan, had been ignored by him?
When Yuwen Feiye heard the two reject him without even thinking, he suddenly clenched his chopsticks tightly with one hand, and the other hand under the table twisted his pants so tightly that his veins were clearly visible.
He was trying to suppress his extreme anger.
These two lowly commoners actually dared to reject him directly?
Forget about Liu Yichen. Li Fazhi also didn’t know what was good for him.
At this moment, Yuwen Feiye had the urge to kill li Fazhi.
“Wow, aren’t those sisters cold? They’re wearing so little on such a cold day.” Suddenly, a young voice startled Yuwen Feiye out of his daze.
He looked at Lin yuelan, who had let out a cry of surprise, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile. He thought to himself, ‘You’re really a little girl who doesn’t know her place!’
When the surrounding servant girls and manservants heard Lin yuelan’s exclamation of surprise, all of them revealed a mocking and mocking expression. They thought to themselves, ‘where did this country bumpkin come from? She doesn’t even know that the competition for the best courtesan requires one to dress frivolously.’
There were even some people who were discussing Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan openly.
“Who is that? She’s just a country bumpkin. Why would young master Li invite such a person on board?”
“Shush, lower your voice!” Someone looked at Lin yuelan. He said with some jealousy, envy, and hatred, ” isn’t this clear? Young master Li only invited the third Prince and Young Master Liu, but these two people are really thick-skinned actually to follow him onto the ship!”
“That’s right!”
Lin yuelan had originally enjoyed watching Liu Yichen, li Fazhi, and Yuwen Feiye’s hypocritical affection and exchange.
It was just that Yuwen Feiye’s endurance … seemed to be limited.
When Yuwen Feiye heard Liu Yichen and Li Fazhi’s rejection, his face turned green. Lin yuelan only smiled sarcastically. When she saw that Yuwen Feiye was about to lose his temper, Lin yuelan spoke.
She did not want her good mood from watching the courtesan competition to be ruined by Yuwen Feiye.
However, her words attracted the ridicule and mockery of others.
However, she didn’t really care about these voices.
However, how could Jiang Zhennan tolerate such mockery and humiliation?
Jiang Zhennan’s cold and expressionless face was filled with anger. He looked at li Fazhi and said coldly and sarcastically, “Young Master Li, it seems that your servants have received very good training!”
Li Fazhi was stunned at first. Then his face turned cold. He glanced at the servants who were whispering and said coldly, “Don’t worry. We won’t see them tomorrow!”
The servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They knelt down and begged for mercy, ” Young master, please spare us! Young master, please spare us! We won’t dare to do it again!”
Li Fazhi was unmoved by their begging.
Then, the servants looked at Lin yuelan with pleading eyes as if they wanted to see if she would plead for them.
Lin yuelan was not a saint who would help them after being despised and scolded by them.
...
Lin yuelan looked at the four flower boats and said indifferently, ” look, the courtesan competition seems to have begun!”
