I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Enter Tianxiang Tower.

Qin Li kept muttering to himself.

Fang Yuan is really something.

As the protagonist, having just suffered a crushing defeat in the Jiuyi Mountains, shouldn't he be at home reflecting on why he failed and striving not to repeat the same mistakes next time?

How can he still have the mind to sleep with other women?

And even Song Qian, the Empress, found out?

As expected of the protagonist.

They're all about the fancy stuff!

Damn it.

Why am I suddenly feeling a little envious?

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Seeing Qin Li muttering to himself, Song Qian couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Qin Li snapped out of his daze and asked, "Where are we going to catch them in the act? In which room?"

"I don't know."

Song Qian gently shook her head.

"have no idea?"

Qin Li was clearly taken aback... He didn't know how to catch the adulterer, and he couldn't very well search every single room.

What if Fang Yuan is a contestant on a singing competition? That would be terrible!

Before the group could find him, Fang Yuan had already finished his business cleanly and efficiently, pulled up his pants, and left. What should they do?

Afterwards, Fang Yuan denied everything, so all of them had worked for nothing.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but I am not sure whether my husband is in this Tianxiang Pavilion."

"However, he hasn't been home for over ten days, nor has he shown his face. Nobody knows where he went."

"Therefore, I thought I'd come to Tianxiang Pavilion to try my luck."

Normally, she wouldn't bother looking for Fang Yuan.

But this time, Fang Yuan disappeared without a trace, along with the two maids he had bought.

Now, at a crucial time for the Song family's business dealings with the imperial court, Song Qian doesn't want anything to go wrong with Fang Yuan.

Therefore, she had to find Fang Yuan and find out what he was doing.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li continued to mutter to himself.

Judging from the looks of it, the relationship between the protagonist Fang Yuan and Song Qian is not as good as that between Qin Feng and Wei Hongying.

This is neither scientific nor normal.

Based on his experience as a bookworm for ten years, shouldn't the protagonist and his harem be the kind of people who love each other to the point of life and death no matter how far apart they are? Sometimes, they would even die for each other without hesitation.

Why is it that, in his case, both protagonists have poor relationships with their respective harems?

Was it all just so that he, the villain, could interfere?

If you're not going to insert it, then you're not a villain!

"I see!"

Thinking of this, Qin Li patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Miss Song. I am known for my kind heart and I will definitely find a way to help you find the person."

Kind-hearted?

Qin Li actually claimed to be a kind-hearted person?

Song Qian was extremely surprised.

As far as she knew, Qin Li was known for not getting up early for nothing.

There must be something else going on behind his helping her like this.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Qin Li say, "The capital is so big, why did Miss Song choose to come to Tianxiang Tower to look for someone? What if she came to the wrong place?"

Song Qian answered truthfully, "Your Highness is unaware of the truth, but he has a lover named Liu Mei who works at Tianxiang Tower, and the two of them often slept together."

Liu Mei?

Her name alone suggests she's a sly fox.

She is definitely one of the protagonist Fang Yuan's harem members.

grab!

We must take it back.

Having made up his mind, Qin Li patted his chest again and said to Song Qian, "Leave this matter to me. Today, I will definitely help Miss Song find the person."

"How can Your Highness be so sure? Do you have some good idea?" Song Qian blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.

Qin Li gave a wicked smile and pulled her into the building.

……

"Oh my, Your Highness the Seventh Prince, what brings you here today?"

"It's only been a few days, but His Highness the Seventh Prince has become even more handsome, dashing, and debonair..."

"What a coincidence! We have a poetry gathering here today, and His Highness the Seventh Prince's presence truly adds to the splendor of this event!"

"Your Highness, would you like to invite a few young ladies to accompany you...?"

When the madam, who was entertaining other guests, saw Qin Li arrive, she acted like a woman who had found a new love and forgotten her old one, immediately abandoning the other guests to greet him warmly.

On his previous two visits, the Seventh Prince was either gambling or discussing business with people in the private room, and he never got involved in the core business of Tianxiang Tower.

This time, the madam is determined to drag the Seventh Prince down with her.

Once she gets hooked, she'll never forget it and will come back often, which means she's contributing to Tianxianglou's revenue.

"Of course you should call her 'girl'."

Qin Li, acting like a regular customer, said, "Madam, I remember there's a girl named Liu Mei at your Tianxiang Pavilion. Call her out and have her drink with me and Young Master Song. Money is no problem; Young Master Song has plenty of money."

"what?"

The madam and Song Qian were both slightly taken aback and looked at Qin Li.

Even though Qin Li helped her find the person, she should be responsible for all expenses incurred during the search.

But Qin Li is a prince, and if word gets out that he's a woman paying the bill, won't people laugh at him?

How could Qin Li have the nerve to say such a thing?

This is completely different from the Qin Li she investigated.

She was becoming increasingly curious about what kind of person Qin Li really was.

The madam was stunned because she hadn't expected Qin Li to specifically request Liu Mei to accompany him as soon as he arrived.

Coming to her senses, the madam forced a smile. "Your Highness, you may not know this, but Liu Mei is the top courtesan of our Tianxiang Pavilion, the queen of flowers. No matter how much money you spend, you can't buy her company unless she's willing to."

"What a load of crap!"

Qin Li couldn't help but curse, "Coming to a place like this, isn't it just for prostitution? Hurry up and call her out, Young Master Song has plenty of money!"

Trying to be a prostitute and still want to maintain a virtuous image?

He hates people like that the most, except for himself!

Upon hearing this, the madam was extremely embarrassed and looked at Song Qian, who was standing next to Qin Li, hoping that she could smooth things over.

If it weren't for Qin Li's status as a prince, the madam would have had him thrown out long ago.

Song Qian reached out and gently tugged at Qin Li's sleeve, whispering, "Your Highness, we're here to find someone. We shouldn't make a scene; we might alert them!"

"I've found out that Liu Mei is hosting today's poetry gathering. We can think of something else then."

Qin Li then gave up, waved his hand, and the madam breathed a sigh of relief, quickly swaying her large, plump buttocks as she left. But before leaving, she didn't forget to say, "Your Highness and Young Master Song, please sit down. The poetry gathering will begin soon. I'll go and call two girls to accompany Your Highness and Miss Song."

"Two aren't enough?"

Qin Li waved his hand and said magnanimously, "Both I, the prince, and Young Master Song are like Ip Man. Each of us will call ten over, for a total of twenty!"

"what?"

The madam was startled again, tripped over her own feet, and almost fell flat on her face.

Good heavens, why is the Seventh Prince so difficult to serve?

If I had known this would happen, I would have beaten her to death. She didn't even take the initiative to talk to me earlier. What a terrible thing to do.

"Giggle."

Beside her, Song Qian couldn't help but cover her mouth with her folding fan and laugh.

Qin Li looked at her, frowned, and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Song Qian covered her mouth with her folding fan, her shrewd eyes blinking as she whispered:

"Does the Seventh Prince know that His Highness the First Prince is so tarnishing His Highness's reputation?"

From the moment he entered the building, Qin Li acted out of character, as if afraid others wouldn't know that the Seventh Prince had come to Tianxiang Restaurant to spend money today.

Song Qian initially thought that her investigation was wrong.

Qin Li was always like this, she just didn't know it.

But after thinking about it, I realized something was wrong.

Qin Li did it on purpose.

He deliberately shouted loudly at Tianxiang Tower.

They deliberately let all the guests here know that the Seventh Prince was at Tianxiang Tower today.

They deliberately tarnished the reputation of the Seventh Prince, Qin Feng.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li laughed, but his laughter was somewhat chilling. "Miss Song has finally dropped the pretense? Actually, Miss Song has known all along that I am not the Seventh Prince but the First Prince. What is your intention in revealing this now?"
