Chapter 12 Look, here he comes!

"Second brother!"

When Li Chengze was walking on the street, a young man came towards him.

Li Hongcheng was dressed very handsomely tonight, wearing a dark grey brocade robe, a white jade hair crown, and a dark green hairpin.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, the whole person looks much more refreshed than during the day.

Li Hongcheng walked up to Li Chengze, looked him over carefully, and said, "Second brother, you are going to attend the poetry banquet tonight, why don't you dress up seriously?"

"The people who will be going there later will not only be talented scholars, but also many talented women in Kyoto."

Li Chengze shrugged and said, "I'm just going to a poetry banquet, not a blind date, why should I dress up?"

Li Hongcheng nodded and said, "That's true."

"Moreover, with my second brother's natural handsome appearance and the noble aura he exudes, even without dressing up, he can still charm thousands of girls."

Li Chengze raised his hand slightly, flicked Li Hongcheng's forehead, and said, "You are so slick, but you are not as exaggerated as you say."

Li Hongcheng rubbed his forehead and smiled, "Really, I'm not lying."

"If you don't believe me, you'll know when we get there."

Just as Li Hongcheng took a few steps, he looked up at Li Chengze and said, "Brother, the Crown Prince will also be there tonight."

Li Chengze looked indifferent and said, "Your Highness, go if you want to. It has nothing to do with me."

Anyway, he would just stay there for a while, and when the poetry banquet began, if he signed in successfully, he would leave immediately.

What does it have to do with him whether the prince goes or not?
Now that Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao are by my side, there is no need to worry about my life being in danger.

In fact, what Li Chengze is most looking forward to now is what kind of reward the system will give out after successfully signing in.

If you really get an 'M3 84mm rocket launcher' as a reward, then just fire one at the prince and blow him to pieces, which will save you a lot of trouble later.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hongcheng said, "Second brother, there is actually something I really don't understand."

"Whether it's your literary talent, personal ability, or the power background behind you, you are far superior to the Crown Prince. So why would His Majesty..."

"Hongcheng!" Li Chengze shouted angrily, interrupting Li Hongcheng's words.

He looked around for a few times, then came close to Li Hongcheng and lowered his voice, saying, "Do you want to die?"

"How dare you say such outrageous words!"

Li Hongcheng was a little unconvinced: "I...I'm just standing up for you."

Li Chengze said, "Okay, I know what you mean, don't say it anymore."

"This kind of thing is not as simple as you think. You can't just replace people casually. There are too many factors to consider."

"Besides, our father has his own discretion in choosing who to be the crown prince. We just need to let nature take its course."

"But I can tell you that until things are over, it's still unclear who will have the last laugh."

Li Hongcheng's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Second brother, are you going to..."

Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Aren't you going to attend the poetry banquet? Are you going yet?"

"We're going to be late."

Li Hongcheng nodded and smiled: "Yes, of course I will go."

"Let's go, let's go. It won't look good if we're late."

Afterwards, Li Chengze took Li Hongcheng and walked towards the street not far away.

……

A few hundred meters away from the Zuixianlou, there is a two-story building covering dozens of acres.

The decorations around the building are simple and elegant, and the bricks and tiles used on the walls are all made of high-quality materials, which looks very grand.

At this moment, the outside of the building was decorated with lights and red lanterns everywhere, which looked very festive. This building with festive decorations was the "Meiyun Building" used for the poetry banquet tonight.

Every time the seasons change, the owner of "Meiyunlou" will choose to hold poetry banquets during festivals, inviting scholars and students in Kyoto, as well as talented women to come here.

'Meiyunlou' will prepare food, drinks, fruits, etc. in advance and place them in the living room. Anyone attending the banquet can taste them freely, completely free of charge.

Every time the literati came to attend the banquet, they would drink and talk about poetry and prose after the banquet began.

Therefore, many famous poems came from "Meiyunlou" and then circulated outside.

As a result, on ordinary days, many scholars and writers would come to "Meiyunlou" to drink.

At this moment, although the poetry banquet in the "Meiyun Tower" has not officially started yet, many people have come here.

The vast majority of people came here because of the second prince Li Chengze.

If he didn't come, there would be less than half of the people attending the banquet.

In the box on the first floor of 'Meiyun Building'.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window.

Outside the window, there were several slender and beautiful girls standing.

Just by looking at the way they dress, you can tell that they come from wealthy or noble families.

Soon, a fair-faced young man walked in from outside the box.

"Your Highness."

The young man bowed to Li Chengqian and made a duck-like sound.

Li Chengqian asked coldly: "Is he here?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Li Chengqian added: "Keep watching, and come over and report immediately if you see him."

"Yes." The boy nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Li Chengqian continued to look out the window and smiled slightly, "Second brother, I never thought that you would come to this poetry banquet tonight."

"In that case, as your brother, I must give you a gift."

"You'll definitely like it."

At the same time, on the second floor of 'Meiyun Tower'.

Many young and beautiful girls sat together and started talking to each other.

The first floor of "Meiyun Building" is dedicated to receiving men, while the second floor is where the women stay, which can be completely separated.

After all, most of the women on the second floor are unmarried, so they naturally cannot meet men casually.

Fan Ruoruo had arrived half an hour ago and was chatting and laughing with a few familiar girlfriends.

Si Lili had also arrived. She was standing at the window on the second floor, looking at the bustling street below.

When she saw the family shopping happily, she felt very uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, she also had a happy big family like these people. Her parents and relatives were still alive, and the house was very lively during the holidays.

However, because of a coup, their beautiful family was instantly turned into hell.

When she thought of this, her heart ached even more.

At this moment, someone beside me suddenly said:
"Look, here he comes!"

"The Second Prince is here!"
