MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 53 to finish
Qianshui Lake, Hongxiaofang.
On the high platform in the atrium, various handsome men and women took turns on the stage.
There are beautiful and beautiful women playing the piano and flute, **** dancers twisting their waists and dancing, and handsome young men reciting poetry and painting, and strong men showing their fists and feet...
The end is full of style and a hundred flowers bloom.
According to the rules of Hongxiaofang, every hour, the guests in the seat can participate in the auction. The person with the highest price can designate the girl or man in the workshop to accompany the guests in the workshop for one hour.
Of course, it's just for fun.
The gongs and drums sounded, and there was another round of bidding.
Feng Yuyao was excited. Of course, she was just watching the fun and didn't plan to participate in the bidding.
Qin Yan's expression was indifferent. She has traveled all over the country in recent years, and she has seen everything that she should and shouldn't see.
In some places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the games played by the local rich people, some of them don't even take people as people...
In the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, the brothel and dance workshop are still the rules.
Seeing those muscular men just now, Qin Yan's mind flashed the smooth and beautiful muscle lines on Feng Zhan's chest and abdomen, but unfortunately, she hasn't touched it a few times...
------
The auction was fierce, and everyone's tastes were very different. Most of the young ladies bid for men, and most of the young men bid for beauties.
"One thousand taels of silver, I want that white-robed pianist." An evil male voice sounded from a private room on the second floor.
I just made a bid, ranging from a few taels of silver to dozens or hundreds of taels. But it is extremely rare for thousands of taels of silver to be photographed to play with them for an hour.
As for the qin master in white, there was only a handsome man sitting cross-legged and playing the qin by the stage, but the bidder was also a young man...
Everyone looked at the prestige, and it was He Xiao, the eldest son of the Minister of War He's House.
Young Master He doesn't know anyone. He has been hanging around in various fireworks and willow alleys in Shangjing all the year round.
Beside the stage, the white-robed pianist sitting cross-legged and playing the violin raised his head when he heard the words, his handsome face was full of surprise.
He only arrived at the dance hall today, and he is only a violinist, not a servant girl who accompanies the guests.
The one who presided over the auction was the owner of Hongxiaofang, Liu Sanniang.
Seeing that the bidder was the eldest son of the Minister of War, Liu Shisanniang smiled.
The eldest son of the He family usually plays in the Qianshui Lake area and has an excellent reputation. He is generous, understands the rules of the industry very well, never makes trouble, and occasionally praises the girl he likes. The owners of the dance shops in the prostitutes in Qianshui Promenade like this kind of high-profile customers.
"The qin master Su Qing, bring it to the eldest son He immediately." Liu Shisanniang summoned two strong men, pulled up Su Qing, who was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, and dragged him to the second floor.
Su Qing struggled hard, turned her head to Liu Shisanniang and shouted in a hurry:
"Thirteen Niang, I just came to you to borrow the ground to play the violin. I didn't sell myself in your red silk workshop. You have no right to arrange me without authorization. Thirteen Niang, you... um..."
The strong man who dragged Su Qing punched Su Qing's stomach. Su Qing covered his stomach and groaned. He lost his words and let the two robust servants continue to drag him upstairs.
------
This kind of strong buying and strong selling is not uncommon in this land of flowers and willows. At this time, there were several more dancers with water sleeves folded on the stage, and everyone began to appreciate the beauty's dancing posture and the beauty's slender waist occasionally, and ignored the poor piano player.
Only Feng Yuyao frowned.
"How can this be?"
Feng Yuyao's eyes have been following the three people who are still going upstairs.
It was approaching the second floor, and while the two strong men were not paying attention, Su Qing suddenly broke free from the shackles and ran away.
The two servants were chasing Su Qing, Su Qing stumbled, but his purpose was clear. In the private room not far from the second floor, there were two women with noble temperament, and one of them was amazingly beautiful, even this handsome man and beautiful woman. The red silk squares everywhere are eclipsed.
Since they entered the workshop and went upstairs, the eyes of everyone in the workshop followed their attention, of course, including Su Qing.
Those two women may have higher status than the eldest son of the He family.
When Su Qing was caught, he was just not far from Qin Yan's box.
"Save me, miss, save me..." Su Qing shouted loudly in a clear voice.
Shen Ying frowned, standing still outside the box with her arms around her chest, without moving.
In the elegant room, Feng Yuyao heard the movement outside.
He frowned and turned to look at Qin Yan, as if asking for Qin Yan's opinion.
"Smoke smoke..."
Qin Yan's expression was light, and she watched another set of beautiful people singing and dancing on the stage.
"There are rules for every line of work, either overt or unspoken. Since he entered this workshop, he should expect everything that will happen, good things, bad things, no one can do it. Bear it for him." Qin Yan's tone was shallow and his words were almost cold and ruthless.
The pianist was dragged past the door, still crying for help.
"Save me... miss, save me..."
Feng Yuyao frowned and said:
"Yanyan, I can't get used to that scumbag He Xiao for a long time. Today, I will stop him."
Qin Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Feng Yuyao, who had a look of resentment, and said softly:
"what ever."
Feng Yuyao said towards the lower part of the atrium:
"Two thousand taels of silver, I want this piano master."
At this time, singing and dancing downstairs was not noisy. Feng Yuyao's high volume was clearly audible to everyone.
Everyone stopped talking, looking for prestige to the two women in the private room on the second floor.
He Xiao's expression was gloomy, and in this generation, no one dared to cut his Hu.
Seeing that it was Feng Yuyao, Princess Jingyi, who was speaking opposite, He Xiao was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment. He was in a bad mood today. Even a princess, don't think about easily touching the person he wants.
"Princess, the rule of Hongxiaofang is to pay in cash when you bid. Can the princess bring enough money?" He Xiao was certain that the princess would not come out to play so blatantly, and called her a clerk. It was a whim.
Everyone...it turns out to be a princess...
Some other young ladies recognized that one in the box upstairs was Princess Jingyi in the palace, and the other was the red man in the imperial palace, the master of Zhaoren County.
Feng Yuyao…
She really didn't bring so much money, Feng Yuyao turned to Qin Yan and said:
"Yanyan, lend me some money."
Qin Yan lightly clasped the table and chuckled, "Two thousand taels, I'll give it to you. But in exchange, Yuyao, you have to give me a message."
Feng Yuyao is a little puzzled. With their friendship, there is any news to be exchanged... Unless... it's about the royal family...
"Deal." Feng Yuyao agreed neatly.
"Yuyao, you go back to the manor with me today, we will discuss it in detail." Qin Yan's expression was calm as before, but became a little more serious.
"Yeah." Feng Yuyao couldn't care to guess what Yanyan was going to ask at the moment, she was eager to get the money to get someone to see how He Xiao was deflated.
Qin Yan ordered, "Shen Ying."
At this time, Liu Sanniang had come upstairs and was outside Qin Yan's box.
Shen Ying took out two thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang took it and saw Yu Qingfeng's stamp on the bank note, and smiled. From the atrium corridor on the second floor, he said loudly to He Xiao, who was on the opposite side: "Young Master He, the one with the higher price will get it. I'm sorry."
Liu Thirteenth Niang smiled and leaned over to the people in the atrium and said loudly: "Zhaoren County Master offered two thousand taels of silver to get the piano master Su Qing."
Everyone in the Hongxiaofang applauded and cheered.
When Liu Sanniang went upstairs, she had already learned the identities of the two women in the upper box from the chatter of the crowd, and the maid of the Zhaoren County Lord gave the silver ticket, and acquiesced that the Zhaoren County Lord bid to get the person. According to the rules in the workshop, the results are sung to everyone, including the identity of the highest bidder and the price paid. Didn't feel anything wrong at all.
When Qin Yan in the private room heard the words, he raised his hand and gently pressed his eyebrows.
Her reputation...
He Xiao's face was gloomy like the bottom of a pot, and he stopped talking.
He just tried to make a statement. With his identity, how can he really compete with Princess Jingyi.
Liu Shisanniang immediately ordered someone to bring the piano master Su Qing into Qin Yan's box.
------
Su Qing entered the box, like a dream.
He just heard the discussion of the people downstairs. The eldest son of the He family opened it up in a playful manner. He was not taboo between men and women, and he had a variety of tricks.
Su Qing was about to say thank you, but Feng Yuyao spoke first:
"Sit there and don't talk."
Su Qing was dumbfounded, and then sat quietly on an empty chair near the door of the box.
And Shen Ying also moved from outside the box to inside, standing beside Su Qing.
This violin master, Su Qing, did not know the details, so he could not safely let him approach the master and the princess.
From Su Qing's angle, he could just see Qin Yan's perfect profile.
Some beauties can only be seen from a distance, but this Zhaoren County Lord, from head to toe, is all beautiful to the extreme.
Feng Yuyao seemed a little tired of watching the performance, she turned her head and spoke to Su Qing leisurely,
"What's your name?"
Su Qing suddenly came back to his senses from the trance of observing Zhaoren County Master.
"My name is Su Qing."
"Where are you from?" Feng Yuyao liked the violinist's soothing voice, and continued to ask.
"Lingnan people."
Feng Yuyao heard the words, her eyes brightened, and she turned around, Lingnan?
Feng Yuyao's mother concubine De Concubine came from Lingnan Pingnan Bofu, and since Feng Yuyao was born, she has not been out of Shangjing, and of course she has never been to her mother's hometown.
Su Qing's words instantly aroused Feng Yuyao's curiosity.
"Tell me about Lingnan."
After being instructed by the princess, Su Qing opened the conversation and began to tell about the customs and customs of Lingnan that he knew, as well as some interesting anecdotes.
After half an hour, Feng Yuyao and Qin Yan were about to leave.
Just as Feng Yuyao got up, she turned her head to look at Su Qing who was already standing beside her.
Feng Yuyao said:
"Your story is not over yet, make an offer and come with me today."
Su Qing raised his head in surprise. In today's matter, Young Master He may still find trouble with Su Qing. If he can get the protection of this princess, he should avoid the limelight first, and it would be a good idea to wait for Young Master He to forget about this.
"Today, the princess of Xiaomindi rescued her, and she is already grateful. How dare you make a price? Xiaomin is at the mercy of the princess." Su Qing bowed and said.
Su Qing took his qin and got into Princess Jingyi's carriage, while Feng Yuyao and Qin Yan were in the same car, and the group left.
------
Inside the Red Square.
He Xiao and Xie Changyuan both looked gloomy.
There was a young servant's voice outside the box: "Eldest son, the master told you to go back to the mansion immediately." It was the little servant of the He mansion.
"Where did you get the guts to spoil me?" He Xiao said impatiently.
"The concubine Xian in the palace has sent someone..." Nuonuo, the little servant, said.
He Xiao…
Damn, here comes the complaint.
------
Xishan Prince's Mansion, Cangtai Waterside Pavilion.
Two men with outstanding looks and temperament are sitting and playing chess against each other.
At the end of the game, the man in the cobalt blue robe sighed softly and said:
"This minister is still not His Highness's opponent, and he is willing to bow down."
Feng Zhan, the prince opposite the man, didn't say a word, just picked up the tea cup at hand and drank it lightly.
Song Zhi came in:
"His Royal Highness, Prince, Princess Changle, Lord An and Miss An are here."
After the words fell, several people entered the water pavilion.
The blue-robed man opposite Prince Feng Zhan stood up and looked at the person coming.
"Princess."
Feng Yunchao showed his face: "Cousin, I'm not an outsider, just call me Yunchao."
The man in the cobalt blue robe was the heir of Duan Wangfu of Youzhou, Feng Subei.
"Yunchao, it's getting more and more beautiful." Feng Subei always praised girls when he saw them.
"Cousin's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Which girl doesn't want to be praised for her beauty, Feng Yunchao is no exception, but if you want to talk about beauty, now in Shangjing, there is Qin Yanzhuyu, the master of Zhaoren County, but no one is there. Can easily talk about beauty.
An family brother and sister salute:
"Chen (min-daughter), I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I have seen the Prince."
Feng Zhan turned his head to look at the person coming, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was a little cold.
An Wenjing knew that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have some opinions on his younger sister Yan Xi, but today, Prince Duan had just returned to Beijing, and he invited a few people to reminisce through the Prince's Mansion. Yan Xi was also invited by the Prince, so he came together.
Feng Subei took two steps forward and stretched out his arms for a bear hug with An Wenjing.
"Delay it."
"Sir."
In the past few years, Feng Subei has returned to the capital to do business, and they have come and gone in a hurry. The two have not seen each other for three years.
Then Feng Subei looked at An Yanxi with deep affection in his eyes.
"Yan Xi."
"Sir." An Yanxi saluted gracefully.
Several people took their seats.
An Yanxi got up again and said warmly:
"Let me make tea for everyone."
Feng Subei heard that he was happy to receive such treatment. He had never tried Yan Xi's tea ceremony, but he always complimented girls first when he met girls, not to mention the girl he liked.
Feng Subei was about to praise An Yanxi's tea ceremony, but before he spoke, Prince Feng Zhan spoke coldly:
"No need."
Everyone was stunned.
In the past, when An Yanxi followed her elder brother An Wenjing to the Prince's Mansion, she acquiesced that she would make tea by the side. What happened to His Royal Highness today...
"Song Zhi, come here." Feng Zhan ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness." Song Zhi, who was standing at the entrance of Shuixie, walked to the tea table, sat down, and began to brew tea with his hands. Although he is not good at tea ceremony, he still learns to follow His Royal Highness.
An Yanxi sat back with a worried look.
Feng Yunchao glanced at An Yanxi soothingly, thinking that Yan Xi should give up.
In the waterside pavilion, the fragrance of tea curled up, and a few people started chatting and reminiscing about the past.
Only the prince Feng Zhan just drank tea lightly throughout the whole process, did not say a word, and his face was not very good-looking.
Feng Zhan occasionally raised his eyes to look in the direction of Merlin.
Is her poison cured?
Can it have a bad effect on the body?
What is she doing today?
She also has...
------
In the time of a cup of tea, a long piano sound suddenly came from a distance.
Feng Subei raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound of the piano.
Feng Yun looked towards Feng Subei to solve his confusion: "There is the Zhaoren County Master's Mansion. The Zhaoren County Master Qin Yan is the newly appointed county master of the father emperor. His father is the right minister, and his mother is the direct lady of the Zhenguo Gongfu."
Feng Subei was wondering why the county master's mansion was arranged next to the prince's mansion, and whether His Majesty had any intentions, An Yanxi suddenly said warmly:
"Just now when our brother and sister were out of the house to wait for the princess, we accidentally heard someone talking on the street."
During the banquet, everyone looked at An Yanxi and seemed to be curious about the topic she brought up. An Yanxi then said:
"I heard that today is the Qianshui Promenade in the south of the city, Hongxiaofang. Zhaoren County Master, He Xiao, the eldest son of the Minister of War, He Xiao, is bidding for a beautiful man."
"Zhaoren County Master paid a lot of money to be a beauty. I heard that when he left, the harpist got into Zhaoren County Master's carriage, and it seems that he followed him back to the house."
"Is this piano sound from the handsome young piano master from Hongxiaofang?
"Brother, you heard that too, didn't you?"
After An Yanxi finished speaking, she looked at An Wenjing, as if waiting for her brother's approval.
An Wenjing immediately looked at the prince Feng Zhan, and the face of the lower house was cold, and An Wenjing felt a little uneasy.
The last time he went back to Qianshui Lake, An Wenjing had already seen that there was something unusual between His Highness and Zhaoren County Master. What is the younger sister doing with His Royal Highness the Prince Zhaoren gossip?
Feng Yunchao frowned, disapproving of Yan Xi's gossip. She is not someone who likes to talk about other people's private affairs behind their backs, so she can't answer this topic.
Song Zhiben shook his hand while pouring the tea, and the tea was spilled on the tea table. He glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince calmly.
Feng Subei sensitively noticed that there seemed to be something wrong in Yan Xi's words about Zhaoren County Lord.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the water pavilion was a bit wrong at this time, Feng Subei changed the topic with a haha:
"His Royal Highness, I will go back to the capital first, and Prince Duan's mansion is still being cleaned up. Can I live in the Prince's mansion for the past few days? It's just that everyone has gathered together today. We must have a good drink.
Prince Duan Feng Subei and Prince Feng Zhan have a good relationship. Whether it is in Shangjing or Youzhou, there are many intersections. Feng Subei occasionally returned to Beijing to work on errands and stayed in the Prince's Mansion temporarily. He didn't think there was nothing wrong with his proposal.
But Prince Feng Zhan's face became more and more cold and ugly.
"Go to the post house and let Honglu Temple arrange it. I have something to do today, so you can go back to the city and gather by yourself."
Feng Zhan left a cold voice, then got up and left.
Not knowing why, everyone looked at each other.
And Feng Subei seemed to smell something unusual.
Zhaoren County Lord?
