Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 179: The Blind Thing

It was already dark when we arrived at the imperial city.

Mei Susu was already weak due to her transformation, and was tormented by Xuanyuan Che's kisses and nibbles. She could no longer bear it and fell asleep in Xuanyuan Che's arms.

Tomorrow there will be a grand banquet in the palace, and foreign envoys will march along the streets to the palace.

In order to express their friendship and demonstrate their great power style, the Dashun people decorated the places they were going to pass with lights and colors, making it as grand as the New Year.

There was a grand event in the palace, and there was an endless stream of people rushing to see it.

It is said that in just half a month, all the inns and restaurants in the capital were packed with people, and even the town closest to the capital was doing booming business.

The capital city is a wealthy place. There is no curfew and it is bustling on weekdays.

Nowadays, the place is even more prosperous because of the grand event. Even though it is late at night, the streets are still as lively as day and are still crowded with people.

There were endless sounds of hawking, laughter, etc. The carriages were moving at a snail's pace and people were so crowded that it was impossible to move.

"Master, there are many people on the street. Would you like me to send someone to clear the way?"

Afraid that the carriage was moving too slowly and affecting the journey back to the palace, Zhuiying thought for a moment and decided to ask Xuanyuan Che for his opinion.

Xuanyuan Che opened his eyes, first looked at the person in his arms, calculated the time, and said, "Go to Shangjingxuan."

It's rare to bring the little girl out to play. Today is lively. After dinner, I will take her for a walk. She will definitely be happy.

"Yes." The sound of chasing shadows was heard outside. The carriage did not turn around and continued to move forward slowly.

Shangjingxuan is a unique "celestial pavilion" in the capital.

There are the most beautiful dancers in the capital, the most beautiful singers, versatile beauties, and also the good girls who sell their art but not their bodies but are irresistible.

From the richest merchants in the world, the royal family, to high-ranking officials...

From the chivalrous knights of the Jianghu, to the peddlers, to the peasants and old men...

They all lingered here and were overjoyed.

It is said that there are eight beauties in Shangjingxuan, four men and four women, who are the most beautiful people in the world.

Many people come here to see its splendor, and are not sorry to spend all their money.

Shangjingxuan's business has always been the best among all the restaurants in Beijing. Now with the grand event, it is even more crowded with people and every seat is filled.

On weekdays, there are ordinary people coming here, but now because there are too many people, Shangjingxuan has to raise the conditions. Anyone entering must pay a deposit of one gold ingot.

After all, because of the grand event in the palace, the number of nobles in this pavilion has increased several times. If ordinary people get drunk and offend a noble, losing money is a small matter, but losing their lives is not a good thing.

One ingot of gold is not a small amount of money. For an ordinary family, they may only be able to earn one ingot of gold in their entire life. Therefore, the people who go to Shangjingxuan now are naturally those who are not short of money and have power.

All the private rooms in the pavilion were booked half a year ago. Even so, many people still come here every day, and even if they sit at the private tables, they still want to enjoy the luxurious atmosphere of the pavilion.

As soon as Xuanyuan Che and his party stopped in front of Shangjingxuan, a servant immediately ran up and called Zhuiying, who was about to dismount, and asked hurriedly: "Sir, do you have a reservation?"

Zhuiying glanced at him with displeasure. Where did this blind servant come from? If they came here, who would dare to ask them to make a reservation?

"No!" Zhuiying replied with a dark face.

When the servant heard that there was no reservation, he immediately said, "I'm so sorry, this room is full. If you don't have a reservation, you won't be allowed in. Please go back, sir."

Hey! This blind thing.

Zhuiying laughed angrily. He hadn't been to the pavilion for a few days. Where did this person come from?

"Are you new here?" Zhuiying dismounted and looked him up and down. His clothes were new, so it seemed that he had just arrived.

In this case, it is understandable.

Just as the servant was about to reply, another servant came up and slapped the servant on the head with a rather arrogant look: "What's going on? I asked you to do something for a long time but you still can't do it. You don't want to leave?"

The servant who was beaten immediately bowed and nodded to the man, very respectful: "Brother Zhang Nian, I have already told the adults."

Zhang Nian glanced at Zhui Ying, then glanced at the carriage behind him, and then he had an idea.

Zhuiying noticed his look and laughed.

Suddenly he became interested, so he folded his arms around his chest and held the sword as he looked at him leisurely, wanting to see how this man was going to die.

Zhang Nian cleared his throat and straightened his back: "It seems that you also want to enter Shangjingxuan to broaden your horizons?"

Zhuiying glanced at the magnificent building and nodded, "Yes, you are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world. I am here to join in the fun of the palace event. This servant said that your Shangjing Pavilion is full?"

Zhang Nian was delighted to find that he had guessed correctly. He immediately became even more arrogant, raised his chin and pointed his nose to the sky and said, "It's full!"

Zhuiying pretended to be distressed: "Then the weather is not good. It seems that this trip is in vain. What a pity."

As he was about to mount his horse and leave, Zhang Nian's eyes moved and he immediately stopped him: "It is full, but there is still a way to get in."

"Oh?" Zhuiying pretended to be interested, and immediately stopped and asked him, "What's the method?"

Zhang Nian looked around, approached Zhuiying, stretched out his hand and gestured with three fingers.

Zhuiying understood what was going on in his heart, but pretended not to know.

He hesitated a little, and was very conflicted: "Three silver ingots...Although it's a bit too much, it's not impossible."

He stretched out his hand to take out his pocket, but Zhang Nian held his hand and said with a cunning smile, "It's not three silver ingots."

"Not three? Could it be five? But you clearly gestured three just now!" Zhuiying was unhappy and shook off his hand, as if he was playing a trick on him.

Zhang Nian saw that he was angry and quickly said to him, "Since your master has come all the way to the capital to see our Shangjingxuan, you can imagine how prestigious our Shangjingxuan is. Recently, many dignitaries have come to the capital. To be honest, there are some big shots in this pavilion right now! They are of noble status."

Zhang Nian said, raising his head proudly: "You have to think deeply for your master. Going in today is not just as simple as drinking tea and listening to music. If you meet a noble person, you will be soaring to the sky. Why do you need to go back to your country? Think about it, right?"

Zhuiying heard him say this and nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, but it is a bit unethical to raise the price."

"Look at what you're saying. I'm not raising the price."

"You just pointed at me with three fingers, and I was about to pay. Why did you stop me?"

Zhang Nian narrowed his eyes and let out a sinister laugh.

"You misunderstood. My three fingers are pointing to three gold ingots, not three silver ingots, nor five silver ingots."

"Give me three gold ingots and I'll let you and your master in. Otherwise, no one will dare to let you in without my approval."
