Soon, the order of the sixth prince and His Highness King An's concubine selection spread in the imperial city.

Chapter 12 Arranged Marriage

When Li Su heard the news, he was listening to music in Rouge Lou, the largest brothel in the capital.

That's right, in the brothel, listening to music.

Although Lingnan Mansion has become resembling after Li Su's three years of building, there is still a big gap in some industries compared with the capital.

For example - the entertainment industry.

After all, Lingnan Prefecture was only developed from a small county with 5 people. Although the population has expanded in recent years, good steel is used on the cutting edge. The extreme shortage of population will inevitably give priority to the development of manpower in the manufacturing industry.

As a result, there are very few entertainment venues in Lingnan Prefecture.

Moreover, because of the geographical location, most of the women in that area are dark-skinned and short, and there are very few stunning-looking women who show up in public.

As Li Su, who has been a dandy in the capital for so many years, he has finally returned to Beijing, so he naturally wants to relive the gentle hometown of the past.

If possible, before leaving, it is best to lure a few brothels and Goulan to Lingnan Prefecture for development, which can be regarded as promoting the development of the entertainment industry in Lingnan Prefecture and enhancing the diversified development of the fief industry.

Therefore, after Li Su left the task of attracting investment in the capital to Wang Fu Liulin, he went to the Rouge Building in the name of investigating the development of the entertainment industry in the capital.

When the news came out that Emperor Qian had selected a concubine for King An, the dignitaries in the capital and officials above the fifth rank who were qualified to recommend their own daughters all became active one after another.

All of a sudden, the painters who painted portraits in the capital were hired by various families, just to paint a graceful portrait for their daughter or younger sister. If they could be selected, they would be regarded as a kiss with Wang An.

Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King An is a veritable God of Wealth, as long as he becomes the father-in-law or brother-in-law of King An, he will be able to feed a certain family with any leaks from his fingers.

If you monopolize one item at a time, you will definitely make a lot of money every day, just sit at home and wait for the money to be counted.

When the officials in charge of selecting concubines for King An presented Emperor Qian with a thick stack of portraits of the selected women, Emperor Qian was also surprised.

The enthusiasm of these powerful officials in the capital to marry their daughters to Li Su is no less than that of choosing the crown prince for the crown prince.

"Now Concubine Liu can do business." Emperor Qian thought.

……

Concubine Liu's palace.

At this time, Concubine Liu was pointing at one portrait after another and commenting, while Li Su was sitting beside her with her head drooping with an expression of dying.

"Look, this is the daughter of Liu Shilang's family from the Ministry of Officials. She is only 14 years old. She is well-educated and well-educated. I met her once last year. The little girl is even prettier than the picture."

"This is the younger sister of the great Confucianist Kong Yan, a heir to poetry and calligraphy, and a descendant of the sage Kong. She is only twenty-eight years old, and she is a perfect match for you."

"Also, this is a girl from our Mu family. It's still your cousin. You met her when you were young. If you choose her, your grandfather will be very happy."

Concubine Liu babbled and pointed to the portraits one by one for Li Su.

But Li Su seemed to be lacking in interest. In ancient times, everything was good, but he was married blindly. He was about to get married without even being in touch with those women.

As a future traveler, Li Su still hopes to get along for a while before getting married in the future.

The main thing is that he is only 17 years old and he feels that he can still develop.

It would be more beneficial for me to manage a marriage in the future if I exchanged my experience with those young ladies in the brothel and practiced hard.

Otherwise, once you marry the princess, wouldn't you have to go to a brothel to listen to music secretly?

"Should I run away and return to the fief quickly?" This was Li Su's thought at this time.

"Mother and concubine, can I let my minister choose the princess by himself?" Li Su tentatively asked.

"The order of your parents, the words of a matchmaker, you don't want to lose the face of the royal family."

Concubine Liu was even more persistent than Emperor Qian in this matter.

Seeing Concubine Liu's insistence, Li Su knew that there was nothing to talk about.Although he is a time traveler, he still cannot challenge the rules of the entire ancient society in some respects.

In those time-travel novels, what about not kneeling when seeing the emperor, but opening and closing his mouth to call him by his name? Anyway, Li Su would not do it, and he still had to abide by the rules that should be observed.

At least if you don't have the strength to break the existing rules, it's better to blend in.

After figuring this out, Li Su accepted his fate.

He began to listen carefully to Concubine Liu choosing a concubine for him. Li Su knew that Concubine Liu was definitely more discerning than himself in this regard.

She may not choose the best one, but she will definitely choose the one that suits her best.

Even in later generations, there are young people who have lost hope in marriage, relying on their parents to choose a marriage partner, and in the end they live a good life instead.

For him, the prince, there is no need to worry, no matter how bad it is, how bad it can be.

For more than an hour, Concubine Liu and Li Su discussed the person who might marry him, Pan Wanyi, the youngest daughter of Pan Feng's family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, 16 years old.

As for this girl, he had seen her at a poetry meeting held by the second-generation family of a rich man before, and she was indeed a beauty. Now that three years have passed, it is estimated that she has grown up.

The candidate was drawn up, and then reported to Emperor Qian, who naturally had no objection, so the imperial decree to marry Pan Wanyi was sent to Pan's family, and the marriage was chosen on an auspicious day.

Pan Mansion, in the woman's boudoir.

A girl with a graceful figure, eyes like bright pearls, face like a peach blossom, like a lotus emerging from water, was sitting beside the bed frowning. This person was Pan Wanyi, the daughter of Pan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Does my daughter have to marry King Na'an? My daughter met him three years ago, and he seems to be a little—somewhat unscrupulous."

"Wanyi, His Royal Highness Wang An is no longer the dude he once was. You are lucky to marry him, and you will be a princess if you marry him."

Her mother, Mrs. Zhang, held her little hand and persuaded her.

"However, recently my daughter has heard that he often hangs around the brothel."

Pan Wanyi bit her lip, her words were a bit lonely when she met someone.

"Um, maybe His Highness just went to listen to the music."

Mrs. Zhang was also a little afraid to promise, so she bit the bullet and found an excuse for Li Su.

Since she was a child, her ideal husband has been a gentleman who is gentle, gentle, and unparalleled in the world, just like in the storybook.

Now that she knows that she is going to marry a dandy who hangs around in brothels, Pan Wanyi feels as if she has been tricked by fate. Is the rest of her life going to be buried in the hands of King An?

The emperor's order is hard to break, so I can only choose to accept it.

In her opinion, even if such absurd person back then changed a little, even if he knew how to train soldiers and know how to do business, he still couldn't change his nature.

A pair of willow eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, although they were sad, but they were even more amazing.

……

At this time, Dong Gong was also furious.

Chapter 13 Discrediting Li Su

"Why! Why did that trash want to rob Ben Gong once he returned to Beijing!"

"Pan Wanyi is the side concubine that I have my eyes on, even a trash who was driven to Lingnan dares to snatch it from me!"

"boom!"

A vase was thrown to the ground heavily by Li Yan, and it was broken all over the place.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace had already been kicked out by Sun Yanting, Zhan Shi of the East Palace.

"His Royal Highness, calm down. This matter is a marriage gift from His Majesty. Then Pan Wanyi is the concubine chosen by His Majesty for King An. Your Highness, don't let others hear these words."

Sun Yanting persuaded from the side.

Speaking of which, Prince Li Yan wanted Pan Wanyi to be the prince's side concubine because of Sun Yanting's suggestion.

As a subordinate official of the Eastern Palace, Sun Yanting has already been branded as a member of the prince's lineage.

In order to stabilize the position of the prince, he suggested that the prince should get married with Pan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Both are one of the six ministries, but the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the evaluation and promotion of officials in the world, and its status is definitely the top of the six ministries.

Even the court has a saying that it is difficult to become the two prime ministers of the current dynasty without the experience of serving as the minister of the official department.

Li Yan is also very enthusiastic about implementing this suggestion, so he often creates opportunities to get in touch with Pan Wanyi.

Although she hasn't expressed her feelings for him yet, at least from Pan Wanyi's attitude towards him, she doesn't dislike him.

Unexpectedly, Li Su was killed on the way, and the fat in his mouth was about to be cut off.

Since Li Su came to the capital, almost everyone's eyes were on Li Su.

The crown prince who used to hug him seemed to have been robbed of his halo all at once.

Although there are still many people around him, the gap between the front and the back makes Li Yan feel insulted.

Now even Li Su, his default side concubine, is going to grab him. Li Yan can no longer maintain his image as a prince and becomes hysterical.

"I don't care about it, if I can't breathe, so what if I become the emperor in the future?

This palace can't even fight against a waste vassal king who was driven to Lingnan, how will he rule this great country in the future! "

Li Yan said angrily.

"Your Highness, if you want to breathe a sigh of relief, it is not impossible.

The minister has made friends with some foreign envoys from the Honglu Pavilion. As long as those foreign and small countries promise to benefit them, they will definitely be used by His Highness. "

Sun Yanting thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, isn't he, Li Su, going to marry the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? Pan Feng is the best way to save face. I want you to find a way to destroy Li Su's reputation. You can do it?"

Li Yan said to Sun Yanting with a gloomy expression.

"The minister must satisfy His Highness." Sun Yanting said with a bow.

The Honglu Hall is an embassy settlement specially built by the Qian State for the various foreign states in the capital, where the envoys from Goguryeo, Wa State, Chenla and other countries lived.

These people are permanently stationed in the capital, and their daily tasks are to deal with the problems encountered by the residents of the country in the life and business of the Dagan, to strengthen the relationship with the powerful officials of the Dagan, and to handle some foreign affairs.

This time, Sun Yanting found the envoy of Pu Languo, a neighbor to the southwest of Dagan, named Li Guangzhu.

After Li Guangzhu learned of Sun Yanting's intentions, he patted his chest and promised to satisfy His Royal Highness.

Because the road to Lingnan was blocked by the earth dragon, Pu Languo hadn't sent anyone to hand him over for three years.

In the past three years, Li Guangzhu has inherited many benefits from Sun Yanting, and in his perception, Li Su is just a vassal king, and he is no match for the majestic Crown Prince.

If this matter is done well and the prince of the Gan country is handed over, it will definitely be of great benefit to Pu Lan.

With this credit, he will definitely be praised by Pu Languo, and his prosperity is just around the corner.

……

Having finalized his candidate for the princess in a daze, Li Su also had nothing to do, and continued to inspect the entertainment industry in the capital every day.

After all, after getting married, it is not so free to go to these places.

As for what will happen to his reputation as a prostitute, Li Su doesn't care at all.

Since time travel, Li Su has been living with a mentality of playing simulation games.

No matter what other people think of him, to him, it is just an NPC displaying a dialog box.

This kind of game perspective sometimes makes Li Su feel very happy, and sometimes makes him feel very empty.

It still takes a little time for the current Li Su to truly integrate into this society.

The date of the wedding was set after the Great Court Meeting in the next year, and the princes from all walks of life who were supposed to return to the feudal lands one after another after the Great Court Meeting were also able to stay in the capital because of Li Su's big wedding.

This is also what most of the vassal kings are willing to do. Although they have to give Li Su a gift, they can eat at his table. Human relations depend on these exchanges.

This time when Li Su returned to the capital, he brought An Wangwei, who was a king Fu Liulin, and did not bring anyone else with him.

So he is a dignified prince, and now he has no one to serve him.

Li Su was also happy. As a modern person, he needs to enjoy some time alone every once in a while, especially when visiting brothels.

"The girls in the Rouge Tower are more attractive than those in the Jade Pavilion."

Li Su was sitting in a private room on the second floor pouring himself a drink, watching the dancers on the stage on the first floor dancing dances from the Western Regions, feeling contented.

Suddenly a maid came in, her appearance was quite beautiful, not inferior to the dancers on the stage.

"My lord, this servant is serving you."

"I'll just come by myself, I don't need anyone to serve me here."

Li Su waved his hand, wanting to be alone.
