Chapter 8: Yujing Oiran

Eyes filled with surprise, astonishment, jealousy and even anger fell on Fang Dongyun's resolute face.
Some people were impressed by the Second Prince's extraordinary means.
Some people are jealous of Fang Dongyun's rapid rise.
Someone seemed to have imagined the scene of the prince being furious.
Some people are also worried that the situation in North Korea may become turbulent again.
In short, at this moment, the expressions and eyes of everyone at the dinner party on the painted boat were extremely complicated, and everyone's hearts were in turmoil.
"Congratulations to the Second Prince for having a new brother!"
I don't know who shouted first, but immediately there were congratulations from the pleasure boat, one after another, and everyone toasted the Second Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince looked at the Second Prince and Fang Dongyun who were surrounded by the crowd and sighed.
"This time, the eldest brother's face was slapped by the second brother."
"Second brother really spent a lot of money to recruit Fang Dongyun!" Zhou Haochen said expressionlessly.
"As long as Fang Dongyun inherits the Dragon Sparrow Sword and survives, he will surely become a great military strategist in the future. It is not just a pipe dream for him to lead an army."
"Second brother, this is worth it!"
There was a hint of envy in the Fourteenth Prince's tone.
Zhou Haochen remained noncommittal. He was not very optimistic about Fang Dongyun's future.
The hexagrams show that if you are caught up in the vortex of the fight for the throne, your life or death is unpredictable.
The prince lost face so much tonight, how could he not hate Fang Dongyun?
After introducing Fang Dongyun, the dinner officially began.
One by one, the maids, dressed in cool and ragged clothes, brought delicious food and wine and presented them gracefully.
These maids were specially trained, and they walked with slender waists and graceful steps. Under their long skirts were plump, pink buttocks as round as the moon, which were very attractive.
As the dinner began, eighteen dancers took the stage to perform with charming dance moves and seductive eyes.
The life of the powerful is so plain and boring.
"Thirteenth brother, I will also be observing government affairs next month. Please help me with some advice." The Fourteenth Prince moved his chair and leaned next to Zhou Haochen.
Seeing the Fourteenth Prince asking for advice, Zhou Haochen was not stingy and shared his own process of observing politics.
"When I was observing the government, my father asked me to choose between the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, and the Secret Realm Department."
"The Ministry of Personnel is my eldest brother's territory, and the Ministry of Revenue is my second brother's territory. These two departments are the most fiercely fighting each other, and neither is a good place to be!"
The Fourteenth Prince showed an expression of approval and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
In the entire Yujing City, everyone knows that the struggle between the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue is the most dangerous.
Of course, for those who want to give it a try.
Chaos is the ladder.
In their eyes, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue might still be a place of great potential for rapid development.
"Among the six ministries, besides the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites is the most noble..."
Without waiting for Zhou Haochen to finish his words, the Fourteenth Prince shook his head repeatedly.
"Those old guys in the Ministry of Rites always talk about so much nonsense. There are a lot of rules to follow when eating. It's too complicated."
"It would be better for me to guard the Heavenly Prison than to go to the Ministry of Rites."
The Fourteenth Prince complained and rolled his eyes.
The most important responsibility of the Ministry of Rites is to perform various ceremonial rituals. All the people here are old-fashioned and non-Confucian, so they really can't stay there.
"What about the Ministry of War?"
"The Ministry of War is responsible for military deployment and logistics, which is too sensitive. Father may not allow us to enter the Ministry of War to observe government affairs."
"As for the Ministry of Justice, it has had many conflicts and quarrels with the Ministry of Suppression of Evil over the years, so it is not the best choice."
"So, Thirteenth Brother, you chose the Ministry of Industry?"
"Although the Ministry of Industry has many trivial matters and ranks last among the six ministries, it is stable and not prone to big mistakes." "For marginal princes like us who have no power and influence, we should keep a low profile and wait for the new emperor to take the throne, and then we will have a good life."
"Thank you, Brother Thirteen, for your advice."
"But brother, I am more interested in the Secret Realm Department."
"The Secret Realm Department is in charge of many secret realms, and is the most informed about the secret realm resources, so it is very profitable."
There was a hint of hidden eagerness in the Fourteenth Prince's eyes.
Zhou Haochen was silent.
His fourteenth brother is not a content person either.
If he did not have the blood of a demon race and his background was not accepted by the civil and military officials, he would definitely have taken the initiative to get involved in the fight for the throne.
But... Zhou Haochen remembered the hexagram of the Secret Realm Division.
According to the hexagram of the Secret Realm Department, a shocking case is about to break out in the Secret Realm Department, and countless officials will lose their heads.
Zhou Haochen wanted to persuade the Fourteenth Prince to think twice before acting, but he couldn't think of a good reason for the moment.
"Fourteenth brother, exploring the secret realm is quite dangerous. Every year, practitioners above the ninth realm die in the secret realm."
"Don't be dazzled by the resources in the secret realm."
"Thank you, Brother Thirteen, for your advice."
The Fourteenth Prince said thank you, but he couldn't hide the eagerness in his eyes.
Just now.
A melodious piano sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The sound of the piano is gentle and melodious, like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream.
It is also like the gurgling of water, delicate and moving.
It also sounds like big and small pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and pleasant.
Every melody seems like a dancing elf, wonderful beyond words.
In an instant, Zhou Haochen knew that the sound of the piano must have come from a master of the art of playing the piano.
"It turns out to be Miss Yu Zhi. I was wondering who could play such heavenly music." The Fourteenth Prince sighed beside Zhou Haochen.
The Miss Yuzhi he mentioned was the most beautiful prostitute in Yujing City - Xia Yuzhi, who was stunningly beautiful, an expert in both musical instrument and painting, and was admired by countless students.
Moreover, this Miss Yuzhi was extremely arrogant. She only played one piece of music every day and everyone, regardless of their status, had to queue up.
The Second Prince didn't know what price he paid to invite the great master Xia Yuzhi.
When the melodious sound of the piano sounded, Xia Yuzhi was the undisputed protagonist.
Everyone's eyes were vaguely cast towards Xia Yuzhi who was playing the piano.
Xia Yuzhi sat quietly, like a lady in a painting.
Her graceful body was covered only with a piece of pink gauze as thin as a cicada's wing. Her waist was graceful and her buttocks were as full as the moon. Under the pressure of the wooden stool, they became even rounder and fuller, like the Mid-Autumn moon, which was about to overflow.
After a cup of tea.
Let's go down.
The second prince took the lead in applauding, his eyes full of appreciation.
"As expected of Master Xia, this song should only exist in heaven, how often can we hear it in the world?"
"Your Highness, you are too kind. Yuzhi is not talented and knowledgeable enough to be called a great man." Xia Yuzhi stood up, smiled lightly, and bowed.
Fu Li's movements made her already curvy body look even fuller and more attractive.
"Everyone, Miss Yuzhi promised me that she would choose someone from among everyone present to drink with me tonight. I don't know who will be the lucky one." The second prince said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of everyone present lit up.
Xia Yuzhi was famous and highly respected by Confucian scholars. At her status, if she didn't want to accompany the drinking, no one could force her.
She has very high standards and ordinary officials are not even in her eyes. How difficult is it for her to have a drink of wine poured by Xia Yuzhi?
The Second Prince was really powerful enough to have someone like Xia Yuzhi accompany him for drinking.
