At You hour, the lights of the capital were lit one after another, and it was the time when the flower house opened its doors to welcome guests.
In the carriage, Yu Lingxi changed into a light golden gauze dress according to Tang Buli's plan. The beauty in the rhombus mirror has her long hair tied up in a cloud bun, a little flower on her forehead, cherry lips and apricot cheeks, she is unparalleled in beauty.
Tang Buli didn't know what tricks he used, but he quickly obtained the pass to the inner courtyard of the brothel.
The brothel only accepts male customers, and Yu Lingxi originally planned to let Qingxiao sneak into it with a pass card and bring out Hongzhu.
Unexpectedly, the inner courtyard is so deep that one guest can only get in and out with each card, let alone take away a living person.
There are some words that others cannot pass down from generation to generation. Yu Lingxi had to ask Hongzhu face to face, so she thought twice and could only go to find out in person.
Just as I was thinking about it, the carriage stopped.
Tang Buli, wearing light apricot-colored men's clothing, lifted the car curtain and came up.
She had two short mustaches on her lips in a pretentious manner, and the long whip she carried was tied up in several circles around her waist, making her look like a handsome and romantic dandy.
Seeing Yu Lingxi dressed up, "Tang Gongzi" couldn't help but glared and said: "My Suisui, you are really, really... today"
Qingpingxiangjun, who hates reading, has no words. After searching for "really" for a long time, he can't find it. She came up with the right words to describe it and said with surprise: "Now I really feel that your title of 'the most beautiful girl in the capital' is not a false claim."
This time the girl put on the makeup of a flower girl, and the gold gauze was gorgeous, which added to the beauty of the girl. Her seductive charm is not like a concubine, but more like a concubine and a fairy.
Yu Lingxi himself didn't quite adapt.
The makeup on her face was too thick and her clothes were too thin. She frowned and said, "This makeup is so frivolous and pretty, it's really uncomfortable."
She was only forced to wear such bold makeup and clothing when she served Ning Yin in her previous life. once.
But that was in the bedroom, so it didn't matter whether he was embarrassed or not, it couldn't be compared to having to show off in public today.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one universal card, and her appearance and figure were really not comparable to those of men, and she could be spotted at a glance in men's clothes, she wouldn't want to waste time pretending to be "Tang Gongzi's" concubine.
"Although Lanchun Pavilion does not accept female guests, it does allow male guests to bring their concubines to train and learn. Sui Sui pretends to be my concubine and follows me into the inner courtyard. I will look for opportunities to find you again. The person we are looking for."
Tang Buli repeated the plan in detail, and then looked at the two brothers Qing Xiao and Qing Lan who were waiting outside the carriage, "You guys, just wait in the front yard and don't alert the snake."
Arrange everything, Yu Lingxi put on her veil and followed "Mr. Tang" out of the car.
The hustle and bustle of lights immediately hit us, and the singing and singing of birds and birds surrounded the surroundings, which was extremely luxurious.
After entering the door of Lanchun Pavilion, Yu Lingxi felt that the place was slightly familiar.
The further inside, the more familiar the feeling becomes. It wasn't until she walked along the frivolous Jiuqu Gallery towards the inner courtyard and caught a glimpse of the raised eaves of the teahouse to the west that she was sure she had been here before.
When she was stabbed and her arm was poisoned and injured, Ning Yin brought her to the private room in the inner courtyard here for treatment.
Ah, is there his insider in Lanchun Pavilion?
Her thoughts wandered for a moment, and then she saw Tang Buli beside her, holding her shoulders, and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Suqin's Western dance is unparalleled in the world, so I specially brought my concubine here to learn it, and it will be easy to dance when I return home. Just for my entertainment."
It turned out that the nurse came to check the pass.
Please come in, Mrs. Zi, but..."
The nurse returned the pass card to Tang Buli and glanced at Qing Xiao and Qing Lan behind her, "No guards or servants are allowed in. "
Yu Lingxi looked back slightly and signaled with his eyes.
Qingxiao and Qinglan took the order, took a step back, and went to the agreed meeting place.
The pavilions in the inner courtyard are not as flashy and gorgeous as the front courtyard, but are extraordinarily special. Elegant, one can hear the tinkling of the pipa.
The turtle slave led Tang Buli and the two to Miss Su Xin's small building, and ran into a group
of wealthy young men in the corridor. The leader, the oily-haired and pink-faced man, held the shoulders of the person next to him. - smiled and said: "Brother Chen, how does Miss Hongrui's three-inch clove tongue taste?" The man named "
Brother Chen" is a young man of a weak age. He looks quite decent with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Unfortunately, his bottom is exposed as soon as he opens his mouth. He narrows his
eyes and says frivolously: "The soul is eroding the bones, it is a worthwhile trip." .
"No wonder Brother Chen has been lingering with her for so long! " Hahahahaha..."
Those obscene words and words that followed were unbearable.
Tang Buli, who was silent on the side, suddenly stopped.
Yu Lingxi looked back and whispered in confusion: "Ali? "
Tang Buli didn't seem to hear anything, and stared at the fox friends opposite who were hanging out with prostitutes. Yingli's face suddenly darkened.
Yu Lingxi looked at her, and then at the few people walking towards him, and suddenly understood Now: That "Brother Chen" is probably Tang Buli's fiancé - Chen Jian, the grandson of the Grand Tutor.
Before she had time to comfort her, Tang Buli had already made a move.
She took off the long whip hanging from her waist and strode towards Chen Jian with her wrist With a flick, the shadow of the whip was thrown out like a snake.
The glass lamp in the corridor went out, and everyone screamed. Chen Jian fell back with a cry, and a red and swollen whip mark appeared on his face.
Chen Jian covered his face and said angrily: "You Who is it? Why hit someone! "
Tang Buli was originally dissatisfied with this marriage. At this time, he was angry. He held the whip and sneered: "I am your Tang ancestor! I'm going to beat you, the big, dog-looking thief! "
Chen Jian's screams and his companions' calls for help alerted the guards downstairs, and it was too late to stop him at this time.
Yu Lingxi had no choice but to retreat in the chaos, turned around and trotted towards the miscellaneous room where Qing Xiao had stepped. It was said that Hong Zhu was there. There.
As soon as I came downstairs, I almost bumped into someone.
After taking a closer look, I saw that it was an acquaintance - he had proposed marriage to her, and then had a flirtatious affair with the prince Cheng Anbo.
No wonder the inner courtyard of Lanchun Pavilion The security was so tight, it was like a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. If you took just three steps, you would bump into a dignitary who came to have fun.
The two had met before. Yu Lingxi hurriedly lowered his head and closed his eyes, but Prince Cheng Anbo grabbed him and said, "Stop." . "
Yu Lingxi's heart tightened: Could it be that she was recognized?
She lowered her head lower, only two crow-feather-like eyelashes fluttered outside the veil.
But she saw Prince An Bo say "Huh", He looked around her and asked, "What's your name?" Why haven't I seen it before? "
As she said that, she started to pull up the gauze covering her face.
Yu Lingxi's heart was lifted up again, and she hurriedly covered the veil and took a step back, bumping into a strong embrace.
The world fell into silence for a moment.
The familiar and cold feeling The lingering sandalwood reminded her subconsciously of the purple dress at the birthday banquet.
Yu Lingxi stood frozen, her heart suddenly shrank, and then she felt endless pain.
...
When Xue Cen woke up, it was already dark.
"Where...is this?" He
rubbed the dull pain in his neck and stood up, only to find that he was lying on the soft gauze couch wearing only loose underwear, and next to him, a woman with fragrant muscles and beautiful bones was pressing against him. While sleeping, he made soft noises.
Xue Cen was immediately horrified and fell off the couch. A pile of utensils fell down on the table with a clatter.
"What are you doing?"
The woman was completely woken up. She yawned dissatisfiedly and stood up. Her hairpin fell from her temples, and the quilt slipped off to reveal a large area of beautiful scenery.
But Xue Cen really didn't have the courage to appreciate it. He turned away with a blushing face and said, "Girl, please put on your clothes quickly. How... is this inappropriate!" "
Young master, are you joking? Everyone who comes to our place is undressed. I've seen people wearing clothes."
The woman had no sense of shame and leaned against Xue Cen as softly as a bone, laughing and teasing, "Besides, didn't the young master take off his clothes quite happily just now?"
Xue Cen felt his mind buzzing. With a bang, he forgot all the etiquette and rules. He stood up and pushed the woman away and said, "You're talking nonsense! I...I..."
He turned his back and hurriedly checked his clothes.
He has never had a woman, and he can't tell whether he has lost his virginity or not. He was in a state of confusion, but when he saw a few bright red lipstick marks on his chest and abdomen, his hands and feet suddenly became cold.
The flower lady watched helplessly as the jade-faced man's face faded from crimson to pale. She couldn't help but be startled. She stretched out her bright red finger and poked
him: "Sir, are you okay?"
Xue Cen trembled. I closed my clothes on the ground, because my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't tie the belt properly several times.
Tears welled up in his red eyes, and he said hoarsely for a while: "Get out."
Seeing his choked Adam's apple, the corner of Hua Niang's mouth twitched.
You come here to have fun, why are you crying?
"Young Master..."
"Get out!"
So Hua Niang swallowed back the words "I was as faint as a dead person, I didn't have time", rolled her eyes to the back of her head, hummed, put on her clothes and walked away.
Xue Cen was still sitting on the ground in a daze, his handsome face filled with gray and defeat.
Is it the people of the brothel who are deliberately trying to rip off customers, or is it the Seventh Prince...
He clenched his fists, stood up slowly on the couch, and picked up the robes and jade belts scattered on the ground one by one.
As if trying desperately to gather up the broken dignity, the more he picks up, the redder his eyes become.
Creak, the door opened again.
Xue Cen looked up in panic, but the person who came in was not the flower girl, but a tea maid with a scar on her forehead.
"Master, please have tea..."
The maid raised her head, but was shocked when she saw Xue Cen's appearance, and the cup fell from her hand, making a harsh cracking sound.
Xue Cen also recognized her and couldn't help but put his clothes on his chest to protect him: "Hongzhu?"
Isn't the person in front of him Miss Zhao's missing personal maid?
They looked at each other in silence, their red pupils trembling, then turned around and ran away.
Her behavior was so abnormal, and when he saw himself in this embarrassing state, Xue Cen couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, and stepped forward to explain: "Miss Hongzhu, it's not what you thought..."
Hongzhu seemed to be looking for a life-seeking ghost. , screamed in surprise.
She cried and tried to pull the door, but when she found that it couldn't be pulled, she huddled in the corner and begged: "I don't have anything."
did not see it! It was the young lady who bumped into you having a secret chat that day. I really didn't hear anything! Mr. Xue, please let me go! "
What secret conversation..."
Xue Cen realized something was wrong and looked at Hong Zhu blankly, "What are you talking about?" "
...
In the corridor of the inner courtyard.
Yu Lingxi felt her waist tighten, and her back immediately pressed against a hard chest.
"New here? "
She heard a very light sneer coming from above her head, a familiar voice was loose and low, "Why, Prince Cheng Anbo is also interested in this beauty? "
Yu Lingxi had heard this voice thousands of times, but it had never made her heart palpitate like it did that night.
She remembered Ning Yin's strange and cold eyes at the birthday banquet.
Both she and Ning Yin had made their own mistakes. It was extremely embarrassing to meet in such a situation.
Equally embarrassed was Prince Cheng Anbo.
He had been to the Queen's birthday banquet and naturally recognized the handsome young man in purple robes and attire in front of him.
Although there was no He has no power, but he is still a prince. Prince Cheng Anbo is so beautiful but not lustful, so he had to let go and apologize and said with a smile: "Your Highness likes me, how dare you steal my love with a sword? "
"very good. Ning
Yin seemed not to recognize who the woman in his arms was, and said calmly, "It's her tonight, please." "
Only then did Yu Lingxi notice that there were two middle-aged men standing behind him. Judging from their clothes, they should be civil servants wearing regular clothes for night tours.
At this time, it was difficult to get off the tiger. Before Yu Lingxi could figure out how to escape, he was forcibly carried up. Upstairs, we entered an elegant room with gold-carved walls. The
luxurious candlesticks with flower branches were placed on the floor, and the bright lights were like daylight, illuminating the beaded curtains in the room.
Behind the screen, there was a piano girl playing music, and the music was like flowing water and the sound of phoenixes, which was unparalleled elegance. .
Ning Yin sat down with the two civil servants, poured a glass of wine by himself, and looked at the beauty with bright golden gauze: "What's your name?" "
He really didn't seem to recognize himself.
Also, who could recognize him when he was dressed like this, with heavy makeup and face covered?
Yu Lingxi tasted the feeling of restraint for the first time, and couldn't stand it under Ning Yin's scrutiny. At first, she just wanted to get away quickly and find Hong Zhu's whereabouts.
I'll teach you how to set up the reading page, come and take a look!
But she couldn't walk...
and didn't dare to respond aloud.
Ning Yin's cold and unfamiliar eyes Like heavy shackles, she was nailed to the spot. She
was so confused that she couldn't be in a worse state than now.
But Ning Yin suddenly smiled: "It turns out she is a mute girl. "
The two civil servants looked at each other, and one of them, the younger one, nodded and spoke first: "Your Majesty... I took the risk to come here to discuss important matters with you, not just for lust..." "
Let's dance. . "Ning Yin turned a deaf ear and only squinted at the slim beauty covered with gauze under the light.
Yu Lingxi froze.
She was not good at dancing, but she followed Tang Buli's plan and dressed up as a dancing concubine.
"Seventh Palace..." The civil servant spoke sincerely and wanted to test it. But
Ning Yin put down the lamp and said in a deep voice: "Jump. "
One word is as heavy as a thousand pieces.
Yu Lingxi had no choice but to stiffen her body, step on the music of the piano, and slowly stretch her arms.
She was born in a general's palace, and studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there was no need to learn from that inferior concubine. Entertaining people with sound and sex.
In her two lifetimes, she can only dance one dance. Ning Yin forced her to learn it in her previous life because he said he wanted to.
Look at the way the golden bell jingles and dances on her fair and undulating figure.
At that time, she was a little scared and a little aggrieved. She didn't study very seriously and had almost forgotten the movements. What's more, that kind of dance requires special music to match it, which couldn't match the gentle music of the piano, so the dance was very unfamiliar and awkward.
She stared at her toes and the fluttering skirt the whole time, not daring to look into Ning Yin's eyes.
Judging from the dead silence of the two civil servants, it was probably unbearable to look at them.
Torture is nothing more than that.
After the song ended, the room was so quiet that only Yu Lingxi's slightly rapid breathing could be heard.
She couldn't stay any longer, and was about to withdraw from the blessing, but suddenly heard sudden applause in the dead silence.
"It's wonderful."
Ning Yin seemed to have seen some wonderful performance, clasping her hands and laughing, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
When he smiled like this, Yu Lingxi found it hard to leave and froze in place.
The two civil servants didn't know why and looked at each other.
Ning Yin stopped laughing and asked with her eyes, "Isn't the dance beautiful?"
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful..."
The two of them had no choice but to raise their hands and applaud perfunctorily.
"Come here." Ning Yin looked happy.
Yu Lingxi couldn't walk any further, so she moved closer with small steps, still lowering her head.
"Sit down." Ning Yin said again.
Yu Lingxi raised her apricot eyes outside the veil and quickly looked around.
There are only three chairs in the room, so there is no extra space.
Seeing her hesitation, Ning Yin lowered his folded legs and tapped his knees with his fingers, which could not have been more obvious.
Could it be that he wanted her to sit on his lap?
In front of two civil servants with unknown intentions, this was too much...
When he was Wei Qi, he was always obedient, but when he was regent, he was addicted to killing and behaved in a way that was not close to women.
I didn't expect that when I was the seventh prince, he would be so unscrupulous...
That's all, now I am not qualified to criticize him.
Yu Lingxi bit her lip, carefully hiding her emotions.
Without thinking much, she raised her hand to support the Eight Immortals table and jumped lightly, sitting on the table gracefully.
The wine cup tipped over, and the trickling water wetted her dangling gold gauze dance skirt. Drop by drop, it reflected a cool and dazzling light under the candlelight.
The two civil servants were stunned, and Ning Yin was also stunned.
After a moment, an interesting smile burst into his eyes, and the hand that was tapping his knee slowly lifted up and landed on Yu Lingxi's back.
Then, through the thin fabric, it went down along the graceful curve of her back, lingering in the hollow of her waist.
Yu Lingxi suddenly tensed up, as if someone was pinching her life gate, and she was about to tremble subconsciously.
If Ning Yin's expression at this time was not too arrogant and unfocused, she almost thought that Ning Yin recognized her.
Those two civil servants probably saw that he was really addicted to women and had no intention of...
seizing power.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince was in high spirits, the two exchanged glances, bowed and left.
As soon as the two people left, Yu Lingxi saw that the smile in his eyes faded, turning into a familiar black and cold silence.
The hand on Yu Lingxi's back was slowly removed and placed back on his lap.
Such changes calmed down Yu Lingxi's rapid heartbeat.
She knew that Ning Yin just now was just acting.
The play was over and it was time for her to leave.
Yu Lingxi tapped her toes and took the opportunity to leave the table.
The belt was caught, and Ning Yin Youyou spoke, using a completely different cold tone than before: "You spilled my wine, and you leave without paying me a glass?"
Yu Lingxi accepted her fate and had to pour another glass of wine and lowered her head. He narrowed his eyes and handed it to Ning Yin.
Ning Yin didn't answer.
He raised his eyes like black ice and laughed slowly: "I used to feed the lady, but not like this."
