When Ling Chan was tired and released Tantai Zhi, His Highness the Prince's handsome face was marked with a large mottled red mark.
Lingchan slumped in his sandalwood chair without a proper shape, and unfolded the booklet that was pressed under his face.
At a glance, you can see the handsome and elegant figure, the elegant and upright official script, and the dazzling ink balls.
"Ha," she scoffed, "is this your all-out effort?"
Silence in Tantai.
Lingchan looked at his stiff face and easily guessed where the ink stain came from.
Even though I have convinced myself to be respectful, decent, and silent as if nothing happened. But the moment I heard her name, was my heart still palpitating uncontrollably and my hands shaking?
Lingchan was very interested. She glanced at Tantai Zhi's handwriting and found that this book was about the ins and outs of private prostitution.
There were official prostitutes in the Yong Dynasty.
The Jiaofang Division has jurisdiction over all official prostitutes. Most of the registered official prostitutes there are criminals who had their homes confiscated and were exiled. They have a wide range of uses. They are the ones that the local governor plays with in his spare time. They are the ones who present the gifts when receiving distinguished guests. They are the ones who move around. They are also the ones who offer gifts during relationships.
Although the fundamental purpose is to release sexual desire, official prostitution is strictly managed and retains basic decency compared to private prostitution.
There are many reasons for the proliferation of private prostitution. In this excerpt, Tantai Zhi analyzes the social phenomenon in a simple and easy-to-understand manner and puts forward suggestions for improvement.
Lingchan raised her eyebrows while looking at it, "Is there anything else?"
Tantai Zhi sent another book, and Ling Chan opened it. It was analyzing private prostitutes in the capital. It mentioned several large-scale private prostitutes, and analyzed the backers behind them one by one, as well as the channels through which they purchase goods. .
With this, even a fool can uproot the private prostitutes in the capital.
"Is it so clear?" Lingchan came closer curiously, "Have you been there too?"
"I--"
The hurried words were swallowed back by Tantai Zhi, and the panic that suddenly burst out of his mouth seemed to have never happened. He calmly and nonchalantly said: "I mentioned it occasionally when I was socializing with colleagues."
"I do not believe."
Lingchan tilted her head and approached him.
The smell of Tantai Zhi's body is very light, only the refreshing fragrance of bamboo or other plants. It smells like being in a bamboo forest. When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves rub and make a rustling sound.
Tantai Zhi was much taller than Ling Chan, so Ling Chan had to stand on tiptoes to get close to him. She quickly got tired and stretched out her arms to wrap around Tantai Zhi's neck in dissatisfaction.
Under his arms, Tantai Zhi's muscles were tense and stiff, like a piece of upright wood, frozen in the late autumn sunlight.
But when Lingchan pressed him down hard, he was as soft as a soft sticky candy, ready for anyone to knead.
Lingchan looked at herself reflected in his bright black pupils and curled her lips into a smile. The girl's smile was always bright, but in the current situation, it seemed heartless and almost vicious.
Tantai Zhi's eyes trembled.
The distance between him and Lingchan is getting closer and closer - this is derailed, offensive, ridiculous, everything that should not happen between them.
But he couldn't resist.
The arms of the girl in front of him around his neck were limp and neglected, and he could easily knock her over with one hand.
But he couldn't do it.
He could only close his eyes in embarrassment and turn into a beautiful and weak flower, into dewdrops rolling on the branches, into soft white clouds, into anything weak and bullyable.
Indulge her in all her presumptions.
But he felt the girl's gentle breath brushing against her cheek, and her red lips gently opened by her ear, "Thank you for the fold, I like it very much."
"I want to sign my name on it and turn it into my article to benefit me. You will definitely agree, right?"
Tantai Zhi nodded stiffly.
"Then I'll thank you, Your Highness, in advance! If you get such a good thing in the future, remember to think of me."
Tantai Zhi opened his eyes and watched Ling Chan stand up with a happy smile, picked up a few books on the table, walked briskly, and was about to step out of the door in a few steps.
"That's right," Ling Chan suddenly turned around, and Tantai Zhi's lost and lost face was suddenly lit up by her words, and he stared at her unblinkingly.
The ends of his eyes were red, and the dark pupils revealed hope and desire that he was not even aware of.
Why did the arrogant Crown Prince become like this?
Pitiful. Unfortunately, Lingchan has never been a compassionate person. She asked with a smile, "You didn't think I was going to kiss you just now, did you?"
"To speculate on your mother-in-law like this," Lingchan smiled, full of vileness, "Your Highness, how filthy."
Tantai Zhi's face was as pale as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
…
The girl in front of her smiled like a flower, bright and innocent, as if she had no idea what kind of heart-wrenching words she had said.
Tantai Zhi sneered, strode over, pinched Ling Chan's wrist, and pushed her back to the chair behind the wooden table.
The girl's skin was as smooth as snow, and her delicate wrists had red marks when he pinched them, and they soon became swollen.
Lingchan raised her eyebrows and was very dissatisfied, "What are you doing?"
After she became a concubine, she had a terrible temper. She was praised wherever she went. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her at all. She said coldly, "I just told the truth. Are you guilty?"
"yes."
There is nothing Tantai Zhi dares to admit. He looked at Lingchan's clear eyes and the ugly lust in his eyes, and couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
Lingchan slapped him with her backhand.
Tantai Zhi's face was in burning pain, and there was a little red stain on his lips, but he didn't care at all. He held Ling Chan's wrists with one hand, raised them above her head, and held the thin waist under her skirt with one hand.
The beauty in her arms opened her eyes in shock, and her eyes were filled with water and mist, which together with the large red cloud on her face, made her heart ache.
Love and hate, resentment and anger intertwined into a large and dense web in his heart.
Ling Chan was still struggling endlessly, biting her lower lip with her white teeth, ravaging it into different shades of red. The red was so soft and crimson that her heart was on fire.
Tantai Zhi lowered his eyes and pressed down.
…
"——!"
Tantai Zhi opened his eyes suddenly, and his chest, which had been suppressed in his dream, was breathing rapidly and trembling.
Why would he have such a dream?
Mingming that day, after Lingchan finished taunting him, she happily took the book and left. He sat alone in the study from the rising sun to the setting sun.
Tantai Zhi thought and rubbed his hands unconsciously. The tender skin of the girl in the dream was still on his fingertips... What was he thinking!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting alone on the bed tent, his butt red as a monkey.
…
"Your Highness is awake? Do you want some water?" A servant asked softly from outside the account.
"Calling," Tantai Zhi hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement over there, the imperial concubine?"
There was silence outside the account, and Tantai Zhi immediately added: "About the abolition of private prostitution!"
"The imperial concubine has given the errand to General Fu. Recently, General Fu has been rooting out the prostitutes in the capital one by one." The eunuch outside the tent lowered his voice, a little upset, "Look, I'm using you. How to write it in the booklet! But your name was never mentioned!"
"……fine."
The voice of His Royal Highness inside the bed tent was calm, without any fluctuation.
