Ji Lie had heard gossip from several palace guards. The day after he rewarded Zhang Changde with a thousand taels of silver, Zhang Changde led a group of men to the brothel.
They are all foxes of thousands of years, what kind of chat are they doing here?
Ji Lie didn't point it out, just looked at Zhang Changde with a smile.
After being stared at by him for a long time, Zhang Changde blushed and then whispered,
"It's not that I don't want to take the prince there, it's just that those places are not formal..."
"I like informal ones, but I won't go to regular ones!"
Zhang Changde immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained patiently,
"Those kiln ladies are all rouge fans and are not worthy of the prince."
"If Your Majesty really wants to go, I know that there is an excellent Gounan in the city. Not only is the environment elegant, but the girls are also beautiful."
Hearing what he said, Ji Lie suddenly became interested.
"In that case, why is Commander Zhang still standing there?"
At Ji Lie's urging, Zhang Changde took him through the streets to a brothel called Yichunyuan.
I saw several extremely ambiguous pink lanterns hanging in front of the gate of Yichun Courtyard.
There is another row of looming young women in gauze standing at the door, greeting the guests who enter.
Ji Lie glanced at it and nodded slightly.
Although these girls greeting guests at the door are far less beautiful than Xiu'er, they are still pretty.
But the consumption is also quite high. The entrance ticket alone costs one tael of silver per person.
No wonder the guests entering and leaving Yihong Courtyard are all dressed in luxurious clothes, and they look like they are not ordinary people at first glance.
People like Zhang Changde and others couldn't afford such a high-end brothel before.
Fortunately, Zuixianjiang's business has begun to make a profit. Ji Lie still doesn't care about the mere hundred and ten taels of silver.
After paying the entrance fee of more than ten taels of silver, Ji Lie and his party entered the courtyard.
Indeed, as Zhang Changde said, the environment inside Yichun Courtyard is extremely elegant.
On the stage in the middle, there were several girls standing, singing a cappella.
On both sides of the high platform, there were two rows of girls sitting. Their faces were a bit more beautiful than those receiving guests outside the door.
Screens are used in the lobby to separate seating areas of different sizes, and one can faintly hear talking and laughter.
"Hey, this young man is so handsome, but he looks a bit unfamiliar. It must be his first time here."
An older woman, but still charming, came to Ji Lie's side, swaying her slender waist.
"Yes, it's my first time here. I'm not very familiar with Yichun Courtyard, so I'd like the Madam to introduce it."
Ji Lie smiled slightly.
"That's easy to say!"
The madam covered her mouth and smiled, pointing to the situation in Yichun Courtyard, and introducing it to Ji Lie.
According to what she said, the girls on both sides of the stage can choose at will.
After selecting the girl you want, you can either drink and have fun in the elegant seats in the hall, or you can go to the side room at the back to have sex with the girls.
"I see."
Ji Lie nodded and glanced around, feeling a little disappointed.
Although the looks of those girls were acceptable, their aura of travel was too strong.
Ji Lie is still a prince after all, so he has little interest in him.
The bustard was good at observing words and expressions, and when she saw his expression, she immediately understood that he looked down on those girls.
"I didn't expect that Young Master is a bit picky, but don't worry, Young Master, I have many girls in Yichun Courtyard."
"Today happens to be the day when Miss Mu Yu receives guests. If you are interested, Master, you might as well give it a try."
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if I win the favor of Miss Mu Yu and come out on top?"
Seeing that Ji Lie looked a little confused, Zhang Changde on the side took a few steps forward and whispered,
"Young master, you don't know. Miss Mu Yu is the head girl of Yichun Courtyard."
"Not only is she as beautiful as a fairy, but she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"She is also famous throughout Youzhou."
"There are countless people who want to kiss Fangze, just like the crucian carp crossing the river."
"But it's a pity that Miss Mu Yu has always been a prostitute rather than a prostitute. She only picks up customers every now and then."
"Even so, if he is not a talented person, she will never want to meet him."
When Ji Lie heard this, he couldn't help but curled his lips.
He has gotten so low as to act as a cousin, why would he build a chastity memorial for himself?
But now that you’re here, you might as well go and have a look!
As the top girl in Yichun Court, the price of wanting to see Mu Yu is not small. The so-called tea fee alone costs ten taels.
Ji Lie asked the other palace guards to stay in the lobby, and he was responsible for all expenses.
And he himself took Zhang Changde, under the guidance of the madam, to an exquisite courtyard at the back.
There were several tables and chairs in the courtyard, and several people were already waiting quietly.
Seeing Ji Lie's arrival, the others just glanced at him without any other reaction.
There was only one young man who was well-dressed, with an arrogant look on his face, and followed by several servants. He looked Ji Lie up and down with deep hostility in his eyes.
This made Ji Lie a little confused.
Why, I don’t owe you money. Are you jealous that I’m handsomer than you?
He snorted softly, ignored the young man, and went straight to find a seat to sit down.
After a while, a maid in an emerald green gown came out of the room.
"Dear guests, my wife has prepared today's test questions. Anyone who can answer them can come to my wife's boudoir to talk with them."
She paused and said in a charming voice,
"The bright moon in the sky shines on the tall buildings."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned and fell into hard thinking.
"Strange, what kind of topic is this?"
"Could it be a couplet?"
While they were puzzled, Ji Lie almost laughed out loud.
He thought it was a difficult operation, but he didn't expect it to be a simple word guessing puzzle.
Seeing Ji Lie so confident, Zhang Changde on the side smiled and said,
"My lord, have you already figured out the answer?"
"That's natural."
Ji Lie nodded and raised his hand lazily.
"Does this young master have the answer?"
The maid looked towards Ji Lie with her big watery eyes.
"That's right. The answer to this question should be "and"."
Ji Lie slowly told the answer to the riddle.
After everyone heard this, their eyes lit up!
"It turns out to be a charade!"
"Hey, for such a simple question, I didn't expect it to be "qi"!"
The maidservant had a look of surprise on her face and said with some admiration,
"I didn't expect the young master to be so smart and quick, please come in quickly!"
Ji Lie nodded slightly towards Zhang Changde and motioned for him to wait outside.
Then, with everyone's envious eyes, Shi Shiran walked towards the house.
However, at this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded,
"Wait!"
Everyone was stunned and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
The speaker was none other than the young man in Chinese clothes who had been hostile to Ji Lie from the beginning.
