The Qinhuai River is divided into four sections, each section consisting of a super pleasure boat as the core.

The river section occupied by the Mirage Pavilion Painting Boat is completely different from that of the Biyun Pavilion. The Biyun Pavilion is bustling and noisy, and the Mirage Pavilion is better than the beautiful scenery. The huge Mirage Pavilion is located under a huge cliff. From a distance, it looks like a pavilion built on a cliff.

The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are so gentle, but the mountains and rivers here are unique. Lu Zheng was shocked by the scenery here for the first time when he came here.

His Highness Pu treats guests with a surprising show. Lu Zheng's boat rippled on the river surface. When he entered the range of Mirage Pavilion, an exquisite and gorgeous pleasure boat immediately approached.

On the top of the pleasure boat, there was a graceful woman. The woman Yingying saluted Lu Zheng and said, "Is it Mr. Lu Zheng, Jiangning?"

Lu Zheng felt a stern in his heart. You must know that Qinhuai River is a place of elegance, but the woman in front of him is elegant and elegant. She is born in a wealthy and not in any sense of dust!

Lu Zheng did not dare to act rashly and replied respectfully: "It's Lu Zheng!"

"Mr. Lu, please move the pleasure boat. The prince has prepared a banquet and wait for the young master alone!" The woman said obediently.

As she spoke, a servant immediately set up a ladder for Lu Zheng to board the boat. Lu Zheng easily boarded the pleasure boat, which carried Lu Zheng near the Mirage Pavilion.

The Mirage Pavilion is as luxurious as a palace. Where Lu Zheng walked by, there were fluffy red carpets on the ground, and there were maids and servants on both sides to serve him.

The person who led the way was replaced by a father-in-law. His father-in-law was only about thirty years old, and his white face was not a must. His voice was sharp and he was very polite to Lu Zheng. He said:

"Haha, I didn't expect that the famous Mr. Lu Zheng was so young. He is such a young talent!"

Lu Zheng smiled indifferently, bowed to the other party, and then stuffed a silver note without the breath of fireworks. The other party was obviously stunned, but he still skillfully took the silver note in his hand.

He looked at Lu Zheng with a side face, his eyes were obviously different.

It’s not because Lu Zheng gave him money, he didn’t take this amount of money seriously as his identity. The key is that Lu Zheng seemed to know these tricks at such a young age, which is really rare.

Jiangnan is not as good as the capital. There are very few eunuchs in Jiangnan, and there are only a few eunuchs stationed in the garrison. In addition, there is a group of eunuchs in charge of the Pu Mansion.

These eunuchs are all under the jurisdiction of the capital, which means that the eunuchs in the capital and the eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River actually belong to the same system. In theory, the eunuch in front of him may be transferred to the capital!

Lu Zheng knew the routine of the Inspector so well, naturally because of Master Yan’s relationship. Mr. Yan’s teachings to Lu Zheng mainly focused on these aspects. Therefore, Lu Zheng’s behavior did not look like a young man at all, but instead gave people the feeling of an old man who had been through the world for a long time.

The eunuch's surname is Ma, and the confidant of His Highness Pu. Although King Pu has no real power, King Pu is nominally the master of Nanhuang City. Eunuch Ma naturally takes charge of all matters in the palace.

Among the twenty-four yamen in the inner court in the capital, Ma Eunuch is the most powerful Silijian. Although he is in Jiangnan and his influence cannot affect the capital, he is still quite authoritative in Jiangnan.

While walking, he talked to Lu Zheng, and his words were quite good. In this way, the two of them climbed up the steps and walked to the highest level of Mirage Pavilion.

There is a huge banquet hall on the top floor of Mirage Pavilion, and the banquet hall is already full of guests.

Lu Zheng glanced over and saw many talented men, which were so dark. Among the many people, Lu Zheng saw familiar faces.

The academician Su Qing was there, Ruan Shaolin was there, and Li Mu was there. Lu Zheng was surprised to see so many people at first sight. He thought that he was the only one of King Pu’s banquets, but he didn’t expect so many people.

His expression was still calm, and when he walked to the door, Eunuch Ma suddenly pulled his neck and shouted: "Young Master Lu Zheng, Jiangning, is here!"

This shout immediately caused a commotion in the audience. Many talents stood up and looked at this side. Lu Zheng had to step into the door quickly, without looking sideways, and walked to the front of the five-clawed python seat where His Highness Pu was sitting, and kneeled respectfully, saying:

"Lu Zheng, a student from Jiangning, has met His Highness Pu!"

King Pu narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Zheng, laughing. His laughter was full of metal texture. His clothes and temperament were all first-class. He deserved to be a noble man of heaven and royal family.

"Let's flat!" King Pu raised his hand and Lu Zheng stood up. Next, King Pu did an action that shocked the audience. He actually stood up and walked to Lu Zheng, saying:

"Brother Zheng'er, I've been intimate with you for a long time! It's amazing. I've won a lot of money when I first showed my strength in the Qinhuai River. I compared Li Mu, the number one talent in my palace. The Lu family has produced Lin'er!"

Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged and said, "Reporting to the prince, the student was frightened and ashamed. Many rumors outside were spreading rumors, so they should not be taken seriously. At Biyun Pavilion that day, it was just a misunderstanding. Brother Li Mu and I were just a first-time encounter, so there was no such thing as a fight.

As for Miss Fan Duoduo, it happened to be a coincidence. However, two poems happened to be heard, and many people thought about it and added fuel to the fire. The rumors were so untrue!"

When Lu Zheng spoke, King Pu kept staring at him, his eyes not moving away from his face. At this moment, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy, even an official below the first and third ranks, he would definitely be inexplicably nervous.

Look at the people present, look at the hospitality standards of His Highness Pu. The talented men coming today, whether they are guests from the royal family like Li Mu, or those who invite them from outside like Ruan Shaolin, everyone seems to be reserved and cautious.

But looking at Lu Zheng's expression, he was calm and calm. With this alone, he was much higher than the talented man present. King Pu's expression remained unchanged, but he admired Lu Zheng very much in his heart.

The banquet had been arranged long ago. Lu Zheng was just sitting next to Ruan Shaolin, while Su Qing sat in front of the two.

This arrangement did not deliberately highlight Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng's position looks almost parallel to Su Qing from a certain angle. In fact, everyone can see that King Pu attaches great importance to Lu Zheng.

You should know that Su Qing’s identity is extraordinary. Putting aside the background of the Su family in the capital, his identity as a Zhili academician cannot be underestimated. You should know that the banquet was not an official at the banquet of King Pu today, but a young leader in the Jinling academic community. Su Qing appeared here and almost no one could drink him as a side by side. However, Lu Zheng’s position is only half a step away from him, and this position is much more conspicuous than Li Mu’s position!

Lu Zheng sat down, turned his head to look at Ruan Shaolin, and smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shaolin is fine!"

Ruan Shaolin looked quite ugly, and snorted softly, saying, "Lu Zheng, aren't you looking towards Biyun Pavilion? Why are you here? This is the Mirage Pavilion!"

Lu Zheng said lightly: "Brother Ruan, don't your Ruan family also praise the girl? Why did Brother Ruan come to Haimian Pavilion? Brother Ruan can come to Haimian Pavilion, so I can come too, don't you?"

Ruan Shaolin breathed a long sigh, feeling very worried.

Facing Lu Zheng, he really felt powerless from his heart. When he was in Yangzhou, he was dissatisfied with Lu Zheng, but was taught a lesson by Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng wrote a poem, and no one in the audience dared to write a poem. He was deeply impressed in that situation.

After coming to Jinling, Ruan Shaolin's first famous move was lost because of a poem by Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng's poem "Linjiangxian. The Rolling Yangtze River Flows East" is indeed much higher than his painstaking work. Even though Ruan Shaolin was extremely sad and angry, he had to swallow the bitter fruit of shame.

Ruan Shaolin is a young genius and has never been convinced by anyone. However, after meeting Lu Zheng, he was repeatedly frustrated. The inner sense of despair once made him collapse. Now, Lu Zheng is sitting next to him. It is conceivable how deep his heart collapsed at this time.

In the awkward atmosphere, the banquet finally began. King Pu raised his glass and said, "Dear talents from Jinling, the king of Japan is holding a banquet in Mirage Pavilion. I don't need to say anything about the intention. Everyone can understand that the girls in Mirage Pavilion like talented men. Since ancient times, beautiful women love talented men. It will be the Yangzhou Courtesan Competition soon. Do you know who is the top girl in Mirage Pavilion this time?"

"Haha, don't worry, let me keep it a secret. Let's drink first today. I'll toast you all this glass of wine, let's do it first!" His Highness Pu laughed.

Among the royal family, King Pu is a prince with a good reputation and a very smart prince. He is the younger brother of the current emperor and he will never have the opportunity to have real power in his life. He knows this well, and at the same time he is content with the status quo.

As for the same prince, the current emperor's two sons, King Qin and King Qi, are completely different. As long as the prince does not ascend the throne for a day, the two princes will have the opportunity to replace him. Therefore, the style of King Qin and King Qi acting is completely different from King Pu.

Today's scene was played by King Pu, but secretly it was the will of King Qin. Lu Zheng raised his glass quietly, thinking about the current situation in his heart, but he had no idea for a moment.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere gradually became lively. The brave talent began to stand up and ask:

"Your Highness Pu, you've sold me for a while today. I'm very anxious to wait. We heard that Miss Li Qianqian from Mirage Pavilion is both talented and beautiful. Today we are all for Miss Li Qianqian's name!

So many talented people present also support Miss Qianqian. I believe that Miss Qianqian has our support behind it. This time, the first place in the Jinling Courtesan Competition must be Miss Qianqian!”

As soon as this talented man spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's response. Everyone's words and I followed suit. Lu Zheng's expression was calm, but he was sneering in his heart.
Chapter completed!
