Flower garden.

Lobby on the first floor.

The guests were packed. As the largest fireworks place in the commercial capital, Changhua Garden never lacked guests.

However, few people know that the flower garden is also the property of the Li family.

The fireworks field, the gold-selling cave, and the daily water flow are all a very huge number.

More importantly, the existence of Shihuayuan provides a lot of convenience for the Li family to collect intelligence.

The customer flow of Shihuayuan is the basis for intelligence collection.

Moreover, many dignitaries like to discuss matters in a high-end fireworks place like Changhua Garden.

In the corner of the first floor, in an inconspicuous place, Li Ziye ordered a few pots of the best Zui Sheng Meng Si, preparing to get that boy Chang Sun Fengyu drunk tonight.

Not long after.

Outside the Garden of Flowers, the eldest son Fengyu came over. After scanning around, he saw a familiar figure in the corner, so he walked over.

"Prince."

Li Ziye stood up and greeted politely.

"Professor Li."

The eldest grandson Fengyu stepped forward and nodded in greeting.

"Your Majesty, please sit down."

Li Ziye said politely.

"Thank you."

The eldest grandson Fengyu nodded and sat down aside.

Li Ziye picked up the wine pot, poured a full glass for the person in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty, I have been busy all day. Let's have a glass of wine to relieve our fatigue."

"Professor Li is very polite."

The eldest grandson Fengyu responded, picked up the wine glass, and said seriously, "Today, I was supposed to be the host to invite Mr. Li, but it cost Mr. Li money. I respect Mr. Li for this drink."

Seeing this, Li Ziye hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Your Majesty's words are serious. It's an honor for me to be willing to honor you."

The two of them clinked their glasses together, and then each drank it down.

"good!"

At this time, cheers rang out in the lobby on the first floor, and everyone applauded. They looked at the high platform in front of them and looked very excited.

It was also the day when the oiran was selected once a year. On the high platform, there were light and graceful dances and ethereal fairy sounds, which made everyone excited.

In the corner, Li Ziye glanced at the woman dancing on the high platform and said, "Your Majesty, are the whereabouts of those assassins still missing?"

"I guess I can't find it."

Changsun Fengyu responded, "There are no outsiders here, and I don't hide anything from Li Jiaoxi. Those assassins are all masters. They are probably no longer in the capital now. The reason why the Forbidden Army is still searching is just for show.

It’s just to appease the people.”

"I see. By the way, the Crown Prince was promoted to a high position some time ago, and I haven't had time to congratulate him yet."

Li Ziye filled the wine glasses for the two of them again, raised the glasses and said, "Now that the Crown Prince has been promoted to the position of commander, he is considered to be below one person and above ten thousand people in the Forbidden Army. His status is second only to the commander-in-chief.

"

"It's just relying on my father and aunt's connections."

The eldest grandson Fengyu did not look proud. He raised his glass and replied, "There is nothing worthy of congratulations."

"The connections of the elders are the connections of the prince. I have never felt that relying on Zuyin is a shameful thing."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "How many generals fought bloody battles outside, not all for the sake of marrying their wives. If the merits accumulated by the elders are not given to their own children, why should they be given to outsiders? Some people are jealous just because they don't have a son like him.

It’s just my family.”

After saying that, Li Ziye drank the wine in one gulp.

After hearing the former's words, Changsun Fengyu drank the wine in his glass after a brief thought.

"good!"

At this moment, the cheers rang out again all around, deafening.

Li Ziye moved his eyes to the high platform and asked casually, "Your Majesty, who do you think will be elected as the oiran this year?"

"It depends on who can make more money for the owner of the Flower Garden."

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Fengyu looked at the high platform in front and said, "In this kind of thing, as long as there is no big difference in appearance and talent, whoever is more willing to spend money behind the scenes will be the oiran."

"Who does the prince want to be the oiran?" Li Ziye asked with a smile.

"I?"

The eldest grandson Fengyu looked startled, then shook his head and said, "I don't know anyone. It doesn't matter whoever is the oiran."

"You're all here, Your Majesty, you can order one." Li Ziye said.

Changsun Fengyu didn't notice that the people around him were talking about clicking one instead of guessing one. He stared at the high platform in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "Just the one in red."

"oh?"

Li Ziye had a strange look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, you have good taste."

"Professor Li also thinks it's her?"

The eldest grandson Fengyu said in surprise, "I just said it casually."

"No."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Whoever the prince says is the oiran, he must be."

Changsun Fengyu didn't understand what the former said and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, have a drink."

Li Ziye withdrew his gaze, filled up the wine glass, raised his glasses and said, "The results of the choice of the courtesan will be announced soon. I also want to see if the prince's choice is correct or not."

The eldest grandson, Fengyu, toasted in return without saying much.

"This golden lot is for Miss Bai Lian'er!"

Around the high platform, the guests looked at the several oiran candidates on the stage with burning eyes, and they donated generously to help their favorite courtesans.

On the high platform, a woman in a white dress couldn't help but look happy when she saw more and more gold picks on her side.

On both sides, the expressions of the other six women turned a lot darker, obviously knowing that they were going to lose.

"The incense is almost finished burning, Bai Lian'er is going to win."

The guests under the high platform saw that the three sticks of incense not far away were about to be burned. Some were excited and some were sad.

No matter how much I like the Qing Guanren I support, the money in my pocket has already bottomed out and there is nothing I can do.

"The owner of this flower garden is really powerful. One Oiran election is enough to make a lot of money."

In the corner, Changsun Fengyu saw the numerous gold picks in front of each of the Qinghuan people on the high platform and sighed.

"Publicity, competition, beauty, atmosphere."

Li Ziye took a sip from the wine glass and said calmly, "Rewarding is mostly impulsive. Most people will regret it afterwards. This is the price of coveting beauty."

"Five thousand gold tokens, given to the girl with red sleeves on behalf of my master."

At this moment, a young man who looked like an attendant took out a stack of silver notes and bought a thousand gold lot, and placed it directly in front of the woman in red next to Bai Lian'er.

Suddenly, everyone around them looked shocked.

A gold sign costs twenty taels of silver, and a five thousand gold sign costs one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Which young man is so generous?

On the high platform, Hong Xiu and Bai Lian'er's expressions changed when they saw this scene.

Afterwards, the incense burned out, and the choice of the oiran was finalized.

"Your Majesty, you guessed it right."

In the corner, Li Ziye raised his glass and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

On the side, eldest son Fengyu recovered from the shock. At this time, he finally guessed what he was talking about and said in disbelief, "Did Mr. Li arrange it?"

"Chosen by the Crown Prince."

Li Ziye smiled and said, "Good vision and red sleeves are every man's dream."

The eldest grandson Fengyu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare. There is a tiger at home, so how can I dare to mess around with flowers outside?"

"Forget that the prince is already a man with a family."

Li Ziye put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Then let's just have fun."

"Jiao Li, Brother Li, do you have something to say?"

Changsun Fengyu calmed down and asked seriously.

"There is indeed something."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "However, the Crown Prince must swear not to tell anyone before the matter is finalized."

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Fengyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, Brother Li, please speak."

"I want Your Highness, Fourth Highness, to be the crown prince." Li Ziye said calmly.
