While Feng Ming nibbling the glutinous rice cakes that Qiu Lan had brought in, he asks, “have you sent Qiu Yue to her master?”
Luo Yun’s complexion is unnatural for no reason, he nods and says, “This subordinate sent two men of the Xiao family to watch over there, in case something happen to her.”
“I don’t know too what she learned, what’s with that Emperor Purple?” Qiu Lan laughs, “When Qiu Yue learns something, she usually tell us, Duke Ming wait for her to comes back and ask her.”
“Come, eat something.” Feng Ming picks up a piece of glutinous rice cake from the plate and hands it to Luo Yun, to recall himself is the Xiao Family Young Master, he has the obligation to encourage his subordinates from time to time, so he praises enthusiastically, “Luo Yun, you’ve worked hard, you personally send Qiu Yue to her master every day, I heard that it was you who picked them up too. Uh … I also know Qiu Yue has bad temper recently, she was rude to you , I told her not to fight with you all day. By the way, if you find it difficult to pick her up and drop her off, should I find someone else… “
Luo Yun was almost choked on the glutinous rice cake, he quickly changes the topic, looks around and says, “Why don’t i see Rong Hu?”
It just so happens that Rong Hu has arrived outside the door, across the doorway, “I am here.” He steps in the door to salute Feng Ming, before smiling and says. “The picture of the trebuchet that Duke Ming drew for the Great King last time has been slightly modified by the Great King and let this subordinate go to find a trusted carpenter to have a look, we will probably see the small model in a few days.”
When mentioning the trebuchet, Feng Ming remembers his own “great recommendation” and hum, “Bias! Weapons are important, but armor is also important. I have such an innovative and easy-to-use cotton armor plan, Rong Tian the stupid who didn’t understand anything actually laughed at it. Is the idea of cotton armor so funny?”
Qiu Xing sympathetically says, “Duke Ming, it’s not the Great King doesn’t listen to your recommendation. It’s just… using cotton as armor is …”
“This is the use of modern bulletproof vest principle, don’t you understand that? Forget it. You all don’t understand”.
Qiu Lan also timidly speaks, “Duke Ming don’t be angry, the Great King didn’t say no too, it’s just there’s no time now and so can only delay for a while…”
“Oh, that’s right.” Rong Hu is the smartest, he actually learned to change the topic, he takes out a sealed letter from his sleeve and shows a happy expression. “Prince He Di send the letter back, saying that Ziyan and him make a good progress over there, the discussion about the shipping route matter went very smoothly, he also say that if Duke Ming is free, he might as well meet today.”
“Have you heard from Ziyan?” Feng Ming’s attention is really attracted, turning anger into joy, he smiles and say. “I knew that Ziyan must be fine with Prince He Di there. After all we are partners, how could he not take good care of my envoy? Did the letter say to meet today? “
As he said, he takes the sealed letter from Rong Hu, opens it and murmurs, “Prince He Di chose the meeting place called Wuliang Fulou. So solemn, it’s not a temple right?” He looks up at Rong Hu.
(t/n: Wuliang Fulou means immeasurable happiness house)
Rong Hu shakes his head and says, “This subordinate have never heard of this place.” Sweeping the corner of his eyes, he’s seeing Luo Yun’s expression moves slightly, he can’t help but turn around and asks Luo Yun, “Luo Yun, do you know where this is?”
“I have heard it.” Luo Yun’s old business is a muddle killer group, the first habit of entering a strange place is to understand the geographical environment, seeing everyone looking at him curiously, there’s a look of embarrassment in his cold expression. “At that time, Tongze had an expensive public brothel building.”
There’s an instant silence in the room.
After a long time, Feng Ming’s cheers escape through the doors and windows, “Yay! I finally have a chance to live in debauchery! Rong Hu, Qiu Lan, Qiu Xing, none of you are allowed to report to Rong Tian!”
*****************************
When he went to the place with He Di, only then Ziyan knew what “good place” the bastard had chosen to meet Duke Ming.
Sitting in the largest private room on the third floor, Ziyan who has never entered such a place in his life feels very very uncomfortable.
On the contrary, He Di has the chic and unrestrained expression of a regular customer, orders Kong Liu to lead the guards outside the door to take Ziyan in, seeing that the reserved private room according to his preference, the seats were removed and replaced with thick carpets, the red curtains hang down on all side, with the tassels swayed with the wind, he’s very satisfied, he deliberately calls the boss of Wuliang Fulou to praise him.
“Duke Ming won’t like this kind of place.” Ziyan was pulled aside by him to sit down, with calm face, he could not bear to speak.
He Di smiles, “As long as he is a man, he will like this place.”
Ziyan sharp eyebrows show that he still want to talk, but the sound from outside comes, there’s familiar laughter with the sound of the footsteps.
“Duke Ming is here.” Ziyan stands up, seeing He Di still proudly leaning against the cushion, he can’t help but kicking him in the leg and forcing him to stand.
He Di has been through a lot of battles, but it is not so easy to kick. Ziyan didn’t dare to use his strength, when his feet stretched out, He Di catches him in his palm, and his eyes tilt upwards. “Special Envoy’s feet feel good, I heard that a woman’s feet are beautiful and they are comfortable to hold, I don’t know if men are the same.”
When Ziyan heard that everyone will soon coming in and this man still vulgarly speaking, he says with low voice, “You shut up.” His face is full of anger.
He Di smiles again, “If you serve obediently, I won’t tell Duke Ming that you were almost fainted when you were kissed by this prince.”
Ziyan passed out almost instantly. After Princess Chang Liu left last night, it was the continuation of that damn changing clothes activity again, he had never seen such an abominable guy in his life.
Both of them in a deadlock, the curtain has been opened to instruct the singer.
Feng Ming first appeared, followed by Rong Hu, Luo Yun and two maids.
He Di then let go of Ziyan’s feet, standing up side by side with Ziyan, and smiles at Feng Ming lazily, “Duke Ming is here? Isn’t this place pretty good? I heard that the singers and the women here are all first-class.”
Feng Ming goes out and comes in to the expensive place, every corner of the place is showing freshness, he looks around along the way and repeatedly nods, “Yes, very nice. This place is so interesting. I wanted to come long ago, Prince thought really thoughtfully.”
He Di secretly gives Ziyan a look of “See? what i said was true” and Ziyan is so angry that he’s spouting smoke through the seven orifices.
Everyone sits down in order, the boss personally comes in to receive the guests and asks for some girls to accompany them to drink.
He Di looks around the whole room and indifferently says, “Just look at the number of people coming, give each man two girls, remember to have first-class beauties, the more charming the better.”
Ziyan stops the boss and says with a low voice, “I don’t need to drink along, count me one less.” The boss froze for a while and looks at He Di.
He Di tilts his head and looks at Ziyan, suddenly an evil smile appears, “He’s right, the special envoy only needs This Prince to accompany him. That’s good, This Prince doesn’t need too, the special envoy will accompany me.”
That smile makes Ziyan scared witless for a while.
Luo Yun also says coldly at the side, “Count me one less too, I hate women.”
Rong Hu being glanced grievously by Qiu Lan, he quickly clarifies, “I don’t want it either.”
“Hey, why don’t everybody want it? We just come over here to sit and chat together, there should be no problem, right?” Feng Ming is very interested to see the scenes that he had only seen on TV before, he didn’t expect everyone to be so uncooperative, he says with a frustration look, “Now it won’t be me the only one left, right?”
The boss looks hesitantly at Feng Ming and grins, “If the guest wants to talk, I will call the two most beautiful girls in this place now.”
Qiu Xing who sits a little forward gets close to Feng Ming’s ears and says awkwardly, “Duke Ming’s this servant is really scared, if the Great King comes back at night to ask about this, will this servant hide it from the Great King to help Duke Ming? Or tell the truth to the Great King? This servant really dare not hide it from the Great King.”
Feng Ming glances at her, “You made it clear that you threatened me.” He has to say with annoyance, “Okay, i don’t need them.”
As the result, the money to book the big private room was in vain, they didn’t get to see the red flowers and green willow scenes.
(t/n: red flowers and green willow: full colors of spring, women entertaining men in that Chinese ancient drama/movies)
The girls didn’t come, but there were still a lot of dessert fruits.
Everyone is chatting and eating, they first talk about Ziyan’s recent experience to be with He Di.
Feng Ming expresses his great gratitude towards He Di and praises him to high heaven. “His Highness Prince is really kind, you’ve been helping me at the Tong Kingdom’s last banquet. This time Ziyan temporarily lives in that guy Qing Li’s place, inevitably I have to ask you to take care of him again. Ziyan’s personality is righteous, I’m worry that he will offend people.”
When He Di changed his normal state, unexpectedly he was very cooperative in putting on a look of righteousness, he sits up and pats his chest to promise, “Duke Ming rest assured, your man is my man. Your special envoy here will definitely receive the best care of This Prince.”
Ziyan, who was “taken care of” almost wanted to hit the wall and almost bleeds on his face. Rong Hu and Qiu Lan who didn’t know the inside story thought he was deeply moved by Duke Ming’s love.
Fortunately, Duke Ming who gave Ziyan’s hands to the poisonous snake He Di still has a little bit of instinct to take care of his subordinates. “His Highness He Di, that thing I mentioned in my letter, should it be easy to handle, right?”
“What thing?”
Feng Ming glances at Ziyan with full of affection and says to He Di, “Ziyan will be sent to the place as far away as Dan Lin, I hope that while everyone is in Tong Ze, he will get together with his brothers for a few more days. If Prince doesn’t mind, can I have Ziyan come back to me first…”
“Absolutely not.” He Di refused flatly.
Feng Ming froze, “Why?”
He Di has never had to make a draft when he tells a lie, he holds the wine glass and gently sipping on his lips, only then he smiles dangerously. “Because This Prince and the Special Envoy is currently at a critical moment to discuss the details of the shipping route. To tell Duke Ming the truth, these days we have been working together almost day and night to study this important matter, If Duke Ming took the special envoy away at this time, if there was any emergency situation in Dan Lin, the consequences would be serious.”
“Oh.” Feng Ming looks at Ziyan curiously. “After so many days of discussion, we should have some results, right? I think it’s possible to immediately send someone to notify the government if there is any urgent news.”
The shipping route is important, but is it to such extent that it’s impossible to walk a little bit?
When Ziyan heard Feng Ming’s suggestion that he wants him to go back temporarily, suddenly there’s a glimmer of vitality and even his eyes lit up, his lips move a little, just as he was about to find some decent words to refute He Di’s statement, unexpectedly he was cut off by He Di’s interjection.
“Of course.” He Di curls his thin lip and says faintly, “This Prince is so anxious about this not mainly for himself, but it’s the special envoy’s request. According to the special envoy, Duke Ming hoped that the shipping route can be opened within one year, if it’s not limited to this time, it’s not a big deal for the special envoy to say farewell to his friends for so many days. Isn’t that right, Special Envoy?” His eyes slowly and calmly rest on Ziyan’s face beside him, with a hidden threat inside.
Feng Ming is so stupid 😂
Ziyan-He Di in this chapter is so funny… Poor Ziyan~~ we didn’t get to see the left kiss scene
