Chapter 44: I'm Here to Find a Wife

ersonally oversee its inventory."With a slight squint, Li Chen said, "You'd better handle this personally."Xu Changqing asked subconsciously, "But what if Zhao Wang and Zhao Tai come over there...""If...Chapter 44: I'm Here to Find a Wife

This remark was clearly not directed at the young man in green.

Two Jinyiwei guards received the order and skillfully knocked out three people, immediately dragging them away.

The Jinyiwei carried out their business, and no one dared to obstruct them. They could only wait for the Three Treasures to leave before whispering about the young master who had gone upstairs just now. What kind of identity and background did he have that allowed him to be protected by the Dongchang Jinyiwei

As Li Chen climbed the stairs, he heard laughter coming from upstairs after just a few steps.

Then, a melodious tune of piano music filled the air.

Li Chen didn't understand music theory very well, but he could still hear that the melody was beautiful. It was much better than the so-called musicians in the palace.

Following the sound of the qin, I came to the top floor of Tengwang Pavilion. This pavilion is six stories high, and the highest point is almost sixty meters from the ground. Inside the pavilion, there are carved dragons and painted beams; all the decorations and furnishings are carefully arranged. No wonder it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Upon reaching the top floor, overlooking the vast river, a gentle breeze rustled through the air. On one side stood majestic mountains, while turning to face another direction, one could gaze upon the magnificent cityscape of the capital. This location truly is exceptional.

In the attic, a poetry gathering was taking place. At the very top, a woman sat behind a gauze curtain, her head bowed and ear cocked as she played the qin. The melodious music flowed from between her youthful fingers.

In addition, there were twenty or thirty young men seated in a row in the middle. Each person had several trays of pastries and fruit before them, as well as a pot of fine tea.

If one were to judge solely based on this scene, everyone would probably think that this was a prosperous and powerful era, rather than a turbulent age of natural disasters and hardship for the people.

Li Chen's unfamiliar face immediately drew the attention of those around him.

"Who are you How did you get in here" a young man sitting at the door asked sharply.

With the young man's questioning, both the poetry reading and the music stopped. Everyone looked at Li Chen.

Sitting at the head, surrounded like the moon by stars, Zhao Tailai looked up at Li Chen and said faintly, "This friend seems unfamiliar. I wonder if he is the family member of which minister in court And what brings you here"

I have no family with me while serving in the court.

Li Chen's gaze fell upon the figure behind the gauze curtain. Even just a side profile, it radiated an air of serene and distant elegance. He asked, "Behind the gauze curtain, is that Miss Su Jinping"

The young man who had asked the question was enraged upon hearing this. He slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Presumptuous! Miss Su's name is not to be uttered by someone of your lowly origins!"

Li Chen glanced at him, saying in a cold tone, "Master hasn't spoken yet, what are you barking about"

Upon hearing this, the young man's face flushed instantly. He rose angrily and said, "You dare insult me!"

"No."

Li Chen shook his head and said seriously, "Comparing you to a mad dog is an insult to mad dogs."

Ugh...

Several people couldn't hold back and let out stifled giggles.

The young man's face was flushed red, he trembled with rage, and snarled viciously: "You despicable wretch! You despicable wretch! For insulting me like this, I will not let you get away with it!"

Despite his rage, what he said paled in comparison to Li Chen's two sentences. It was childish and ineffective, scratching the surface without any real impact.

At this moment, Zhao Tai came could not contain himself and said, "Who exactly are you What brings you here If you don't tell me, I will have to expel you."

Li Chen looked at the graceful figure behind the gauze curtain and said faintly, "Responding to General Ying Su's invitation, I came to meet Miss Jinpa. If suitable, we will set a date for the marriage."

"So... I'm here to find a wife." a voice cut through particularly sharply.Everyone, including Yelü Shenxuan, looked at the speaker, Yelü Guzanqi.At this time, Yelü Guzanqi still had a pale face. He had only changed his clothes, take...
