Although Prince Yi won a lot of money, neither of us felt particularly envious. I told him straight out that money won in such a way is unstable. Afterward, we just sat to the side, eating and watching the crowd. Finally, we saw the Prince head up to a luxury private suite with tens of millions of gold coins.
I immediately told the Crown Prince that such places were not for us. You can eat for free at the restaurant outside, but inside, it is a casino. The things in there are for people who have already won money to spend. The food he was eating must be the best—and the most expensive. I quietly took the Crown Prince to ask what the fellow was eating and roughly how much it cost.
The manager told me that Prince Yi had ordered a luxury feast for 100,000 gold coins, with over a hundred people serving him. Furthermore, he had gone to select precious clothing, jewelry, and daily necessities, spending another million gold coins.
