Although the east and west gates of the imperial city belong to two sides, they are not close to each other. However, with the high officials exploding with all their strength and running quickly, it didn't take long to reach the high wall of Yuxiang Tower.
Shi Qian's self-lighting skills may be unique, but he is not bad for high-ranking officials. He is also proficient in breaking doors and picking locks. A high wall of ten feet could not stop the steps of high-ranking officials. With just one kick on the ground, the wall borrowed the force of his kick, and his body rose up from the ground. He squatted lightly on the top of the wall without even using his hands. Then he looked at the direction and jumped down, hiding his figure in the dark and heading towards his destination.
Last night he stayed at Yuxiang Tower for one night. Of course, he not only met the oiran, but also got a general idea of the layout of Yuxiang Tower through walking around and asking questions. The most important thing was to find out where Master Li was. She lives alone in a small two-story building in the building complex. The location is somewhat remote, which is certainly in line with her status and appearance as the imperial concubine and the pillar of the Royal Fragrant Pavilion. Not lively, not deserted, no crowds.
Although it was late at night, Yuxiang Tower was still brightly lit and equally lively. Some people are sleeping, some are tossing, some are singing and drinking wildly, some are dissolute, some talented people are roaring like animals, and some family members are raising their heads and cheering.
Nightlife can’t just be about girls, it must also include poetry and wine. There is no shortage of night owls anywhere, and the romantic talents and beauties show their true selves clearly in the long night.
Wang Yan hid in a place where the light of the lantern could not shine, and listened to many noises along the way before arriving at the secluded place where Master Li lived.
Of course there are people defending here, but relatively speaking, the defense strength and patrol density here are really far behind. After all, according to what was shown in the play, Chai Jin and others were able to sneak into Zhao Ji's eucalyptus, which is the most tightly controlled place in the world. What else can be said about a brothel like Yuxianglou.
Without hesitation, he climbed up the pillars of the covered bridge and went upstairs. I touched a window and tried to push it open. After I found that it could be pushed open, I didn't care whose room it was, just pushed open the window and climbed in.
The cold wind blew in, and the woman's gibbering in her sleep came from the bed, and she subconsciously wrapped herself in the quilt. Without waiting for more actions, Wang Yan quickly and lightly closed the window. Then he walked lightly towards the bed to see if he was the real owner.
After all, he only knew that Master Li was here, but among the many rooms, he had no way of knowing which one was the specific one. He had to touch it.
When I got closer and took a closer look, I saw that she was just a fairly tall little maid. He started tapping his acupuncture points a few times, not to take advantage of course, but just to make him sleep deeper.
After doing this, Wang Yan went out to explore room after room. Of course, this is not a blind touch. Most people live facing the sun. So he only checked the rooms on the second floor and the south side.
There were only a few rooms in total. After a while, I touched the last room on the east side.
He gently pushed the door open, then turned around and closed it. After a quick glance, he walked a few steps to the little maid who was dozing on the table, making her sleep even deeper.
This space is huge, and there is a maid guarding it. There is nowhere else to go but here.
I found the bedroom. This time I didn't hide it, but opened the door normally and went in. However, the sound of opening and closing the door did not surprise the sleeping beauty on the bed.
After taking a few steps to reach the bed, she quietly looked at the beauty lying on it, with her shoulders half exposed and curled up on her side. Her brows were slightly wrinkled in her sleep, as if she was unhappy in her dream. But with her eyebrows furrowed in time, she was also so attractive and beautiful in her sleep.
Seeing her like this, the official sat beside the couch and didn't move much, just looked at her quietly.
People have feelings when they are being watched, even when they are sleeping, they will feel uncomfortable. Li Shishi felt someone was watching her and woke up from her sleep, but did not open her eyes because she already felt someone beside her. She was thinking about who was coming, what he wanted to do, why he didn't take action, and whether he wanted to target Zhao Ji. At the same time, she was also recalling whether she had provoked anyone recently, which led to the strongman being provoked.
Her heart inevitably beat faster.
Of course Wang Yan sensed it. He was very alert and had enough brains. He said softly: "Get up when you wake up."
There was a sudden sound in the quiet room, and Master Li shivered slightly, opened his bright eyes, and looked at the figure lighting the lamp in the darkness. When the candlelight began to flicker, she looked at the black bear skin robe and the pair of deep eyes in the dim light. She opened her mouth wide, but in the end she didn't cry out. Her big eyes were full of surprise: "It's you?"
"Know me? Did the official tell you?" The words were questioning, but the tone was indeed firm.
"Yes." Master Li sat up holding the quilt, preventing anyone from seeing the spring scenery: "The slave family has never had any interaction with the senior officials. I wonder why the senior officials came here late at night?"
"My wife is very beautiful. Wang Yan couldn't sleep at night, so I came here."
... These words were so direct that Master Li didn't know what to say for a moment. After pondering for a long time, she opened her mouth and said softly: "The slave family is a woman from the official family. A high official is not afraid that the official family will know?"
"Will the lady inform the officials?"
Facing the appreciative eyes of the senior official, Li Shishi really couldn't say anything, so she was silent for a moment: "How are you doing?"
"Why don't you call me Daguanren?"
Li Shishi didn't say anything, but held the quilt's hand tighter to block the spring light.
The official shook his head and smiled: "My lady, there is no need to be nervous. It is true that I covet my lady's beauty. However, Wang is not a thief and has no intention of taking possession of her. Madam, you can rest assured. I am here tonight just to meet and chat with my lady." .”
"Is Huamei okay?" Seeing the confused look on the official's face, Master Li pointed to the door: "That's the maid, her name is Huamei."
"Nothing, I just slept a little deeper." As he spoke, Wang Yan got up and went out with a kettle and a cup. He got her a cup, and then sat down to drink water.
Master Li took a sip of water, looked down at the ripples in the cup, and said, "Can you marry a wife?"
"A concubine with only one room, and a son who is less than one year old."
"Concubine?"
"She was originally a maid from a wealthy family."
During the question and answer session, Master Li felt relieved and asked, "How is her beauty better than me?"
"No worse than the lady, but she has never studied and is illiterate. She is three points less charming than the lady." Wang Daguan told the truth: "It was because of her beauty that Wang took her as his concubine."
"You are different from those scholars."
"Because I told the truth?"
"And the audacity!"
"To tell the truth, it's because I don't bother to lie. To be bold, it's because I believe in myself and you."
Li Shishi wanted to laugh at him for bragging, but seeing that he had no intention of joking at all, thinking about it, he really wouldn't talk about such a thing to anyone. After all, in the middle of the night, if she said that a man came in at night, no matter what happened or not, no one would believe her. Although she is a prostitute, voluntary prostitution and involuntary prostitution are two different things.
She was still raised by Zhao Ji, but she was not of a good background and could not enter the palace. Otherwise, she would still be a concubine. That would be different. Of course, she also knew that this was what Zhao Ji liked now, and what she wanted was the feeling of being different from the women in the harem.
"How do you make all those things of yours?"
She was speechless, but Wang Yan still patiently explained the mess to her so that she could understand it.
After chatting like this for half the night, it was estimated that the time was almost up. Wang Yan stood up and approached her, reaching out and lifting her chin: "It's getting dark, it's time for me to go. Madam, have a good rest. See you tonight." After that, he gently stroked her face. , then turned around, opened the window, climbed out, and closed the window thoughtfully...
"Wang Yan..."
Seeing that the person was gone, Master Li let out a sigh of relief, lay on the bed, and muttered the name of the high official.
He was really different from the men she had met before. In his eyes, she always saw appreciation. Even when he openly said that he coveted beauty, his eyes were clear and not lustful. Of course she could be called a coward, but she knew that was really magnanimous.
He is also funny, well-informed, and his story-telling is top-notch. What’s more, he talks about the history of his family, and the stories are even more thrilling. The domineering confidence revealed in his words makes him a really good man.
With such random thoughts, a sleepiness she had not felt before came over her, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep...
Mrs. Li from Yuxiang Tower is ill. She feels lethargic and has no appetite all day long. I was so anxious going up and down the Yuxiang Tower that I quickly went to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but he didn't find anything wrong, he just said he should have a good rest.
Zhao Ji heard the news and came to see him once, said some words of concern and then left. It was the end of the year, and he was not doing his job, so he was an emperor. The boss had to take care of his territory, and there were not many things going on at the moment. Moreover, he feels comfortable with women and is not here to cause trouble. Li Shishi looked like he couldn't wake up. He couldn't think of spending time in front of the moon.
The cause of Li Shishi's illness is, of course, the confusion between right and wrong.
Wang Yan would go and chat with Li Shishi every night to get closer. It can't be said to be licking, after all, it wouldn't matter if he just fucked her directly. But he doesn't want to be ruthless, and in the future, he has to be careful.
Of course, there are only a few days in total. He set out from Yanggu on the fifth day of the lunar month, arrived in Bianjing on the eighth day of the lunar month, met Yang Jian on the ninth day of the lunar month, met Zhao Ji in the palace on the tenth day of the lunar month, visited the brothel that night, and touched the place. November was the first time he entered Master Li's boudoir at night.
It was only a few days, and she was a beautiful woman, so he still had some patience.
Soon, after a few days of familiarity, it was the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival.
This is the most lively festival of the year. The lanterns were lit yesterday and the lantern market was opened. Women went out in the streets and alleys from late into the night. Men and women mixed up. It was a carnival for people of this era.
It was their first time here, and Wang Yan didn't want to accompany them for a long time. He gave them a holiday, paid them money, and let them go out and have fun on their own. He was the same as before, with his hands behind his back, being carried around by the crowd. There were really too many people. Basically, people from Bianjing came out. There were lights everywhere and it was very lively. If there were satellites taking pictures at this time, the only light spot on the globe would be right here.
People watch lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and buy food from the night market, a veritable early-stage shopping experience. Families with status and money invited young talents to organize poetry gatherings, where everyone drank, composed poems, and discussed world affairs. The palace was no exception. Zhao Ji gave a banquet to all the officials, enjoyed the lanterns together, and had fun with the people.
Of course, with all this excitement, there must be sin. Those who steal, those who kidnap children, those who take advantage of others and molest women. Likewise, safety incidents are inevitable. The current building has stone walls and everything else is made of wood. At this time, everyone in the city is playing with fire, and it is inevitable that things will go wrong.
Wang Daguan walked leisurely along the way, guessed a lantern riddle, made a lantern to hold, broke the hands of four thieves who wanted to steal him, killed two kidnappers in front of him, and witnessed a great Song Dynasty scene. , saw the style of the Da Song Fire Brigade, watched a street fight in which a man got angry because a woman was molested, and mingled with the crowd to watch the gangsters causing trouble and setting up stalls.
It was such a fulfilling stroll until midnight, but there were no shortage of people at all. This shows how crazy people were when there were large-scale gatherings in an era without entertainment life.
Wandering all the way to Xihua Gate, he casually handed the lamp in his hand to a cute little girl who was being led away by her parents. The official concealed himself and climbed over the wall into Yuxiang Tower when no one was paying attention. The people who were walking around the wall came into Master Li's boudoir with familiarity.
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
"You're here……"
In the darkness, the beauty, who was neatly dressed and lying on the bed with her mind wandering, saw the high-ranking official turning over lightly and came in, and gave a habitual greeting. Yes, it had only been four days, and she had already gotten used to it.
After closing the window and walking to the couch, Wang Yan asked, "Is your maid asleep?"
"Um."
Nodding, Wang Yan leaned against the door and listened for a moment, then opened the door and went out. As usual, he nodded a few times on the little maid lying on the table to make her fall asleep. Then he closed the door and walked back to sit down.
"Going to the lantern market?" She heard about it yesterday and wanted to see the lanterns because it was her first time in Bianjing. At this time in previous years, she would also go to the lobby to participate in the poetry meeting, but she didn't go this year.
"went."
"How about it?"
"Of course it's prosperous. How can a place as small as Yanggu County have such a scene?"
"I heard from an official that you wrote a limerick about snow. Today is such a beautiful scene, why not write a poem?"
Wang Yan nodded and smiled: "I really have some ideas, please listen to them."
At this time, women are all doing the same thing. It just so happens that today is the New Year's Eve, so just copy what's available. As for the original owner of the delayed poem, if nothing else happens, he can see it.
"The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night. Even more stars fall like rain. The fragrance of withered BMWs and cars fills the road. The sound of phoenix flutes moves, the light of jade pots turns, and fish and dragons dance all night. Moths and snow willows are covered with golden wisps. Laughter fills the air with a secret fragrance. People look for him thousands of Baidu……"
Master Li is very capable, so he can naturally understand this word. In her unexpected surprise and expectant eyes, the official slowly said: "Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dim light."
"Looking back at dusk, that person is there, in the dimly lit place..." Master Li muttered the last sentence to herself, and suddenly raised her head to look at the smiling official. Her eyes were full of affection, and she stretched out her hands. , slender jade fingers caressed his face that was not rough, he opened his mouth lightly, and exhaled like a orchid: "Officer..."
The official's voice was like "turning three turns, making three turns," and the signal revealed was self-evident.
How can any woman bear such a confession... The official smiled and leaned forward, kissed her plump red lips, and climbed up the mountain with both hands...
Lying contentedly in the strong arms, the beauty with the blush on her face said: "My lord."
"Um?"
"Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Then the day after tomorrow."
The meaning of this was that he wanted him to stay for another two days. He directly omitted the yes in the middle and directly responded with the result. There was contact from the past few days, there was a poem from before, and it just entered my body again. It was the time to be lingering, so of course I couldn't let go. Besides, how can Zhao Ji, that little bastard, be compared to a high-ranking official?
Should I say it or not, this time Zhao Ji was blocked. It’s quite interesting to think about it. It’s all thanks to him being an emperor. And although his surname is Wang, to be honest, he hasn’t done this for a long time...
"Can't it be later?"
"I'm busy with business. It's been half a month since I came back. There must be a lot of business backlogged. I can't do it without leaving."
"It's still early. The slave family is much better. Let's serve the officials again..."
After another long while, Li Shishi, who was paralyzed on the bed, looked at the senior official in clothes with blurred eyes: "Official."
"Um?"
"Although my body is dirty, my true nature is still there. Entering the fence is not a last resort..."
"In life, there are many things you can't control. You are like this, and so am I." Wang Yan leaned over and touched her face, interrupting her: "I know your thoughts, and I have never disliked your origin. Beauty is what makes a person beautiful. Desire is my nature. But although I am attracted by your beauty, I also love you sincerely, and I will never be a person who betrays your heart. Take care of yourself and don't do stupid things. Take a good rest and see you tomorrow."
Master Li hummed and stopped talking. He watched the officials dressed neatly and capsized the boat...
