Chapter 286 Wei Yuan: Li Changan is a good match for the princess
Plum Shadow Pavilion.

Li Changan had already left, and Fuxiang was staring at the two poems in a daze.

Ever since Li Changan wrote "Presented to the Jade Beauty Fuxiang", Ye Ji completely regarded herself as Fuxiang, or it could be said that Fuxiang has always been her.

As for the original Fuxiang, now she can only lie coldly in the back hall, no longer of any use.

When Fuxiang received Xueji's letter, she couldn't understand why Xueji, a nine-tailed fox who had seen all kinds of men, could fall head over heels in love with a human man.

Now Fuxiang understood everything completely, because she was also hopelessly in love with the same man. The story of the brothel girl and the great talent in the human legend actually happened to her.

"Li Changan is such a fascinating man. He is simply a perfect person without any flaws."

Fuxiang was in a daze when she suddenly heard the voice of a maid.

"Miss, Madam Mingyan has sent a message, asking you to go to Qingchi Courtyard for a drink during lunch."

The courtesan Ming Yan was the most famous courtesan before Fuxiang Sulong. But now Fuxiang has only received Li Changan, and her fame has spread all over Dafeng.

Needless to say, this feast of wine was both a congratulation and a test. Too many women would easily lead to trouble, no matter if they were human or demon.

At lunch time, a banquet was set up in the hall of Qingchi Courtyard, and seven courtesans were invited, including the new courtesan Fuxiang.

These women were of various shapes and sizes, each with her own unique charm. Mingyan was quite popular among her patrons because she was proficient in dancing.

"Congratulations Fuxiang, your comb cage has just become famous all over the world. People in the capital are talking about it. Li Changan has three unique skills: a poem, a song, and a scent. I am talking about Sister Fuxiang."

"Yes, I am so envious. This is a blessing that I have accumulated over several lifetimes."

"Sister Fuxiang, take advantage of your fame and receive more guests. I heard that several sons of ministers and assistant ministers want to enter your boudoir but are unable to do so."

"As long as we receive more guests, Sister Fuxiang will make more money than she can spend in her lifetime."

Fuxiang's lips curled up slightly as she looked at these beautiful girls speaking bad ideas in a bitchy manner. She was already well-known in the capital, and she couldn't be sure whether Li Changan would mind if she took on someone else.

Moreover, Fuxiang is now firmly tied to Li Changan both physically and mentally, so how could she be willing to receive others?

As for the demon clan's mission of gathering intelligence, they can only train their female demons to be the most beautiful courtesans, which is not a difficult task.

"To be honest with you sisters, since I followed Master Li once, it is worth it for me to die. I am afraid that no other man in the world will be worthy of my attention anymore."

After hearing what Fuxiang said, all the plastic sisters knew that this courtesan who had just been picked up was not an easy person to deal with and was determined to cling to Li Changan's thigh.

The courtesans burst into laughter and started talking at once.

"Sister Fuxiang is still a lovesick person. Mr. Li is a man of great literary talent and handsome appearance. I just wonder how he will perform in the next three days."

Fuxiang sneered slightly. These slutty bitches were really cunning.

If she said it now, she would have been enjoying herself with Li Changan for three days and three nights, and these words would have spread before evening.

At that time, they would spread the rumor that Master Li was a romantic man, but Fuxiang was extremely vulgar.

Fuxiang pondered for a moment, and with a slight movement in his mind, he picked up a leaf from the plate with chopsticks, then picked out seven thorns from the fish and placed them on the leaf.

"One night is like this, you can count the three nights yourself."

Then Fuxiang smiled shyly, her face slightly reddened, and her small fan covered her delicate face, looking as if she couldn't bear it.

The courtesans are all experienced, how could they not understand the hint? Seven times a night.

The eyes of these courtesans looking at Fuxiang were filled with the raging fire of jealousy, and they wanted to bite Fuxiang a few times, but Fuxiang acted so delicately that they could not be bullied any more.

Ming Yan forced a smile and said, "Mr. Li is a talented and romantic man. He might come to our courtyard in the future. Sisters, you must seize the opportunity."

Just as several courtesans were nodding their heads, Fuxiang suddenly smiled sweetly, charmingly and gracefully.

"Mr. Li said that he likes chicks..."

After Fuxiang finished speaking, he took a bite of beef and said, "Hmm... this shank meat is really strong."

In the silence, Fuxiang could faintly hear the sounds of people grinding their teeth in anger.

In Li Changan's mansion.

Xu Lingyue took Li Changan's fragrant clothes, and her already slightly red face became even brighter, and even her earlobes were faintly pink.

"Lingyue, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Lingyue was wearing a moon-white dress, which made her skin look fair and smooth, and her facial features were delicate and three-dimensional. There was deep worry in her eyes as she looked at Li Changan.

"No, nothing. I'm just a little worried about you, young master."

At lunch time, Li Changan looked at the several dishes of seafood and tiger penis and deer antlers on the table, and he knew what Xu Lingyue was worried about.

It turned out that the little maid was worried that she was overworked in the Music Bureau, so she arranged for some tonic food.

"Lingyue, tell me the truth, who taught you this?"

Xu Lingyue had great power. She was responsible for Li Changan's food, clothing, housing, transportation, four treasures of the study, and the sale of his calligraphy.

"Sir, I don't quite understand either. I can only ask my mother for advice... I don't know if it's right."

Xu Lingyue thought about last night when she went home to ask Li Ru for advice. Li Ru kept shaking her head and sighing, lamenting that Li Changan was young and had no self-control.

Li Changan couldn't help but laugh. Li Ru still had some knowledge, but he obviously couldn't use it.

"Pack up the tiger penis, sea cucumber, and deer antlers and take them back to Lao Xu. I won't need them."

Xu Lingyue waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Sir, how can this be possible? These are all prepared by this servant for you."

Li Changan had no choice but to pull Xu Lingyue's arm and ask her to sit down. "Please sit down. I will explain it to you."

"I really can't use these things, and I've already left the Jiaofangsi. I have nowhere to use them after eating them, so I should just take them back to Lao Xu."

Xu Lingyue looks cute and silly, but she is very smart. She is not as honest as Chu Caiwei. She understood immediately when Li Changan said this.

"So, by arranging these things, I am actually harming you, young master."

Li Changan said casually, "It might also harm yourself."

Xu Lingyue's head was lowered very low, her neck was bright red, and her mind was in a mess.

Princess Lin'an arrived just after dinner.

"Ahem! All of you get out!"

As usual, Lin'an cleared the room again and spoke to Li Chang'an alone.

The bright sunshine shone on Lin'an through the glass windows. She was wearing a red palace dress that was extremely gorgeous, and she was wearing gorgeous and complicated jewelry. It was impossible for an ordinary woman to pull off such a luxurious dress.

"Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and subtle fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk... Li Changan, you are truly a talent."

Bian Biao said politely, but there was something sour in the words, which could be felt from Lin An's slightly pouting red lips.

"Your Highness Lin'an, poetry needs to be written in the right context. The poem you mentioned was written in the Plum Shadow Courtyard, just when the plum blossoms were about to bloom."

Lin An stood up and walked to Li Chang An, unconsciously straightening his chest, "I just want Li Da Ru to write a poem! Will you give it to me?"

"Your Highness, what is the topic?"

Princess Lin'an thought for a long time, pointed at herself and said, "Just write about me, it can be a poem or a lyric. I have already thought of the title for you, just call it "Presented to Princess Lin'an!" Li Changan shook his head helplessly. Bao Bao was really trying hard. If he couldn't come up with something today, he would not give up.

"no problem!"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Lin An's mouth corners were instantly smoothed, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with joy, staring at Li Chang An, his expectation was beyond words, "Great!"

Li Changan sat in the armchair and said solemnly, "Your Highness, please take a few steps and keep smiling so that I can see clearly, and then I can write well."

Lin'an didn't think there was anything wrong, so she held up her skirt and walked to the middle of the study with a gentle and sweet smile on her face.

Most of the poems about beauties in Li Changan's mind were about singing girls and dancers, so it was not very appropriate to use them to write about princesses. It seemed that he could only come up with one at random. Anyway, Lin'an's appreciation level could not be compared with Huaiqing's.

"The graceful lady has eyes like the moon, she drags her long skirts, and she doesn't walk delicately. She is so charming among the crowd that the world is like dust."

"A tree stands tall and straight, with flowers just blooming. Apart from being natural, every detail is beautiful if you look closely. Its makeup is like the bright moon floating on a river of clouds, and its body is like the flowing waves moved by a breeze."

When Lin'an listened to Li Chang'an's voice, her heart began to beat suddenly, and the feeling of blushing and heartbeating came again!

"A glance at the crowd is full of smiles, and the colors of the world are like dust... Li Changan, are you serious?"

Lin'an's eyes flowed like autumn water. After hearing these two sentences, he felt as light as a swallow and as graceful as a fairy.

This Li Changan is really good at praising people. The colors of the world are like dust, does that include Huaiqing?

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared in Lin'an's eyes.

The appreciation level is indeed not high, and the incongruous string is hard to tell, but such words are of high standard in this era.

"Li Changan, write this poem. I want to spread it around, and then other women are not allowed to ask you for poems."

You little brat, but you’re quite domineering.

If you don't allow other women to ask for poems, it doesn't stop me from sending them myself.

"Thank you, Your Highness Lin'an, for saving me a lot of trouble."

As Li Changan spoke, he immediately picked up his pen and wrote down the poem.

Princess Lin'an clenched her fists, feeling both expectant and nervous. She stammered, "Li Chang'an... are you, are you really, really looking at me in every way?"

Li Changan was suddenly stunned. Only then did he see the five words "Everything is beautiful if you look closely" written by him, and he took it seriously.

"Your Highness the Princess is good in every way. Whether I see it or not, it's good."

Lin'an felt like his heart was about to jump out, and he picked up Li Chang'an's seal and put it at the end of the calligraphy.

"Li Changan, you gave me this poem voluntarily. You said these words yourself. No one forced you!"

After Li Changan finished writing, Princess Lin'an's face turned red and she trotted away with the poem in her hand.

Look at the way he left, still jumping around.

Princess Lin'an really kept her word and spread the poem that Li Chang'an "voluntarily" gave her, and also threatened that Li Chang'an would never write poems to describe women again.

More than a month later, the night watchman came to the yamen.

The eldest princess was playing chess with Wei Yuan. She was full of murderous intent and did not give Wei Yuan any face at all.

"Your Highness has great courage and cares for the people of the world. I admire you very much."

Huaiqing placed his last piece with a dignified and calm expression, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for letting me move."

"I asked Duke Wei a few questions last time. Do you have the answers?"

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Li Changan seems to be better at those military and political opinions. Your Highness might as well summon him to the palace to ask for advice."

The princess knew that Lin'an went to invite Li Chang'an, and Li Chang'an replied that he was busy.

Only Lin'an could do such a thing. Since Huaiqing knew Li Chang'an's talent and arrogance, he would never do anything that might be rejected.

This is Princess Huaiqing. She likes the feeling of having everything under control.

She hadn't visited Li Changan for a long time because she had been feeling depressed. Especially when she heard the lyrics he wrote for Lin'an, she felt mixed emotions.

What about "A glance at the crowd makes the world look like dust" and "A closer look reveals beauty everywhere"? What a way of flattering!

How can the little girl from Lin'an be worthy of the world of dust? She is weird all the time, so how can she be good at everything if you look closely?

"Really? I heard that he has been obsessed with calligraphy, painting and poetry recently, and has written several famous works in succession. I heard that they are quite good."

When Huaiqing said this, Wei Yuan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Your Highness, Li Changan's talent is truly too astonishing, but he is unwilling to serve as an official in the court. As a night watchman, he only handles major cases and does not listen to orders."

Huai Qing frowned and asked, "Lord Wei means that you have other plans for Li Changan?"

Wei Yuan replied, "The world is in turmoil. Yunzhou, Qianlong City, and Wushen Cult are all ready to make a move. I just want Li Changan to stand firmly on the side of the court in the future."

Huaiqing tapped the chessboard a few times with her slender fingers and picked up a black piece. In her eyes, Li Changan was like a chess piece that could not be held.

Although she felt that she and Li Changan could talk about anything and even regarded them as a close friend, she could not completely control this person. This person was even more unfathomable than Wei Yuan.

"What does Duke Wei have in mind?"

Wei Yuan continued, "Since he doesn't want to be an official and doesn't like worldly affairs, then we should give him a noble status and bind him completely to the imperial court and the royal family."

With a noble status, completely tied to the royal family, and not having to participate in worldly affairs, Huaiqing had to follow Li Changan's arrogance. It seemed that he had guessed the answer.

"Your Highness, I think Li Changan is a suitable match for the princess!"

After these words were spoken, Huaiqing clamped the black spot between his two slender fingers even tighter.

In order to completely control this strange man, do you have to sacrifice yourself?

However, if this is the case, Li Changan can indeed be completely controlled.

Only a versatile genius like Li Changan can make Huaiqing feel that marrying him is worthwhile.

When Huaiqing thought about recruiting Li Changan as his son-in-law, his heart instantly became a little flustered, just like when he saw Li Changan's poems these days.

"Duke Wei, this is a serious matter. Without military merits and honors, it would be difficult for you to become a royal consort."

Although Huaiqing's heart was filled with turmoil, his face was calm as water, and this answer was very objective.

"Your Highness, if you and I both make suggestions to His Majesty, there should be hope for this matter."

Huaiqing's eyes narrowed. Wasn't it a bit too shameless for him to submit a memorial to find a prince consort for himself?

"Lord Wei, perhaps you should ask Li Changan's opinion first."

Wei Yuan chuckled, "No need. Can't you see from the poem he wrote to His Highness Lin'an? I think he should be willing."

Bang!

The black piece at Huaiqing's fingertips landed on the chessboard, and then he quickly suppressed his astonishment, not letting Wei Yuan see any ripples.

You are so good, Wei Yuan, the princess you are talking about is Lin'an!
"Lin'an is still young, there is no rush for this matter."
