Chapter 72
On the bustling street, a carriage was driving along. Many people did not know that this carriage was the carriage of the crown prince’s residence.
Inside the carriage sat the Crown Prince, Shang Wuxin, and the King of Humility, Nangong Qian, while outside, Leng Zi and Leng Zi were driving the carriage without fear. Even though Leng Zi was not used to being dressed as a servant, he did not refuse. He knew that if he wanted to stay by the crown prince’s side and not be able to do such a thing, he would have to leave.
“I wonder where the modest king wants to go today?” Shang Wuxin looked at King Qian and asked.
Today, Nangong Qian was wearing a purple robe. He had a smooth forehead, a straight nose, and a thick and moderate lips. The facial contour was clear and deep, perfect and impeccable. Her hair was tied up in a purplish golden crown. The rest of her hair was as smooth as silk, drifting lazily behind her. There was a blooming black lotus embroidered on the hem of his purple robe, and a jade belt tied around his waist. He was tall and straight, extremely handsome, and indescribably elegant. Even though she was a peerless beauty, she gave off a noble feeling that could not be desecrated. Even Shang Wuyi could not help but marvel at Nangong Qian’s good looks and disposition, but he could feel the pressure just sitting there.
Today, Emperor Shang originally wanted to receive Nangong Qian, but he was rejected by Nangong Qian. He said he wanted to experience the bustling capital of Shang Country, and wanted even more for the Crown Prince to accompany him. Emperor Shang agreed after some thought, so in the morning, Shang Wuxin brought Nangong Qian out of the crown prince’s mansion and strolled along the streets of the capital.
“This king knows nothing about the capital. Since the crown prince’s host is arranged by the crown prince, this should be fine!” Nangong Qian said. The Crown Prince had been staying in his bedroom for the past few days, so he didn’t come out. He had no choice but to be bored. That was why he came up with this idea. At this moment, looking at the crown prince sitting opposite him, Nangong Qian felt that he had indeed done the right thing.
Nangong Qian originally thought that the appearances of people like him, Godly Doctor, and General Leng could already be considered extremely handsome among men, but this youth in front of him didn’t lose out to them in the slightest. Because he was still young, his facial features seemed to be even more exquisite than theirs. Compared to him, who constantly carried a sharp aura as if he wanted to injure others, this youth only gave off the feeling that he was as strong as the wind and as tough as Xiu Zhu. He had handsome features, but his manner and manner were calm and graceful, with a sense of easygoing ease. However, Nangong Qian could see the unintentional look in the youth’s eyes, it was so contradictory that it made people want to investigate.
Nangong Qian noticed that he could not shift his gaze away, and his aggressive gaze made Shang Wuxin frown uncomfortably, which was why Nangong Qian withdrew his gaze.
“I have not left my house for many years, but I know that the capital’s Tower of the Under Heaven is very famous, even in other countries.” However, the Tower of the State of Shang is the most magnificent. Why don’t Prince Qian and I go to the Tower of the World to take a look today? ” Shang Wuxin poured them both a cup of tea from the hot water in the carriage.
The young man’s slender, pale, and somewhat transparent hands traveled between the teacups. Not long later, he smelled the fragrance of tea. This tea was given to him by Ye Yizhe, and it must be said that silver was indeed a good thing.
Nangong Qian first picked up the teacup and smelled it. He felt the fragrance of the tea entering his chest to soothe the blood energy in his heart, causing him to be completely quiet. Nangong Qian first took a sip, as expected, there was a fragrance on his cheeks, not only was the tea brewing skill excellent, but also the tea brewing skill. Nangong Qian knew that the people around him didn’t have the ability to brew tea, so he couldn’t tell that a high and mighty crown prince would actually do such a thing.
“Good tea!” Nangong Qian praised, “But no matter how good the tea is, if it wasn’t made by Prince Shang, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have such a superior taste!” Nangong Qian was not trying to flatter him, but to praise him. Even he did not have this kind of craftsmanship, even though this craftsmanship was not worth mentioning to them.
“This humble king is too humble, it’s just some craftsmanship. It’s my honor to be praised by this humble king!” At that time, his heart was too bitter, yet no one could talk about it to him. As time passed by, he could only squeeze it out of his heart, and when he learned the art of tea, he began to study it for the sake of calming his heart.
Nangong Qian looked at the tea-tasting youth. The mist from the tea melted the youth’s face, making it look even more beautiful. Nangong Qian wanted to touch him, he thought that this feeling must be very good.
“This carriage is really luxurious and exquisite. Prince Shang is indeed secretive!” Nangong Qian said with an unreadable tone, occasionally sizing up the carriage. Even though his own carriage was already the best, there were still some aspects where it was inferior to this carriage.
Shang Wuxin put down the teacup and said in a carefree tone, “This carriage was gifted to me by the Godly Doctor, but this carriage is also very good!” Of course, Shang Wuxin knew that Nangong Qian was testing him. Although the carriage was not marked, Nangong Qian still did not know who this carriage belonged to. He just wanted to know if there was any connection between him and the Godly Doctor. After all, Ye Yi Zhe was a Godly Doctor and was the richest person in the world. He had heard about this news from Han Xuanhao in the morning.
Nangong Qian gave a low laugh, “So it’s a gift from the Godly Doctor. This King said that the carriage looked very familiar!” Thinking about the Godly Doctor’s hostility towards him these few days, Nangong Qian was a little puzzled. Was it because of this Prince Shang or something else? However, he was even more interested in this Prince Shang if he could get the Godly Doctor’s interest.
Act! Shang Wuxin sighed inwardly, but wasn’t he the same as well? She and Nangong Qian were on par.
The carriage stopped in front of the Under Heaven Tower. There were many scholars and treasures in the Tower, and many scholars came out from this place. The signboard of the Under Heaven Tower was made of pure black. It was a handsome and dashing inscription, and one could smell the rich fragrance of ink even before walking in.
The moment the two of them got off the carriage, they attracted the attention of everyone. The purple-clothed man was tall and handsome, exuding a noble aura.
The two of them walked into the Under Heaven Tower without meeting the eyes of the crowd. Today, they came downstairs and were very famous in the continent. The most talented people in the World Tower were the most talented ones. Many of the ministers in the imperial court had once studied in the Under Heaven Tower, and many of the scholars for the imperial examinations were also sponsored or helped by the Under Heaven Tower. However, the master of the Under Heaven Tower was very mysterious and had not appeared for so many years. However, it was only because the Under Heaven Tower had raised many scholars and didn’t threaten the countries that the imperial court didn’t step forward. This resulted in the current Supreme Court becoming stronger and stronger, making it difficult for the imperial court to shake.
This was the first time Shang Wuxin came to the Tower of the Underworld. He had been busy or lazy, so he had wanted to take a look but none of them came. Although Nangong Qian had been to the World Tower of the Nangong Kingdom, he could not compare to the World Tower of the Nangong Kingdom. The World Tower of Shang was much more solemn than the Nangong Kingdom or the other countries.
The first floor was filled with people who admired literature. The second floor was accessible to people with status and position. Although the entire floor was not quiet, it was not noisy. The people here were all noble and aloof people. The walls of the Under Heaven Tower were hung with many Mo Treasures. Each and every Mo Treasure was created by everyone, and many people were standing there studying.
With their statuses, Shang Wuxin and Nangong Qian were quickly welcomed to the second floor by the attendants of the Under Heaven Tower, and the second floor was even better. On the second floor, precious potted flowers could be seen everywhere, and on the walls, there were many genuine pictures, but compared to the first floor, there was much better. There were also inkstones left behind by the most famous person of every dynasty, and now, there was actually a picture of an indistinct and unfathomable Ink Chrysanthemum on the wall. Even though Shang had no desire to reject it, he could not help but sigh with emotion. No wonder he became the first young master.
There were those who recognized the crown prince and the King of Qian who wanted to go forward and bow, but after thinking about the rules of the Under Heaven Tower, they all obediently looked at the treasures. In the Under Heaven Tower, regardless of whether you were a crown prince or a prince, there was no need to bow. This was a place where everyone studied, and there was no distinction between power and authority.
“The Under Heaven Tower is indeed extraordinary. This King originally thought that the Nangong Kingdom’s Tower of the Under Heaven was already shocking enough, but I never thought that the State of Shang’s Tower of the Under Heaven would be even more surprising!” Nangong Qian looked at the treasures on the wall and said.
Shang nodded his head in agreement, since there was no other place for them to go and enjoy the view. But he did not expect the servant to bring in a table and two chairs, with good tea and pastries.
One must know that every single painting here was priceless. Even more importantly, if Mo Bao was damaged, he wouldn’t be able to return. This was because many of the Mo Treasures were written by scholars who had died in the past. Not to mention eating pastries, there wasn’t even a case of people in the Under Heaven Pavilion drinking water here.
“Crown Prince, please enjoy your meal!” The valet stood respectfully in front of Shang Wuxin, “If the crown prince has any needs, you can tell this lowly one!” After saying that, he left, causing the scholars to look at the two people sitting there in surprise.
Nangong Qian sat there and looked at the young man in front of him. With a mocking tone, he said, “I have really gotten the glory of Prince Shang. This is the first time I have such treatment in the Under Heaven Tower!”
Shang Wuxin knew that Nangong Qian was suspecting whether he knew the owner of this place. As a crown prince of the Eastern Palace Palace Palace, Shang Wuxin knew that the owner of this place was not only a Godly Doctor, but also the owner of this place. Shang Wuxin knew that he was being wary of Nangong Qian, but she really did not know who the owner of this place was.
“I don’t know either. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been exposed to the light of this humble king that I can’t say for sure.” Shang Wuxin said on purpose. After all, they could tell how respectful the attendants were towards Shang Wuxin. This meant that someone had given the orders, and this person was only the owner of the Tower of Heaven.
Nangong Qian could tell that Prince Shang was joking, and he could also tell that Prince Shang himself was surprised, so Prince Shang did not know the man who came down today. It was strange, why were there so many men trying to curry favor with Prince Shang? But thinking about it, he was also attracted by Prince Shang.
At this moment, on the third floor of the Under Heaven Tower, the manager of the tower walked into a room on the third floor. “Young master, everything has been prepared!”
“En, we can’t afford to neglect the Crown Prince!” A pleasant male voice came from inside. “
