Chapter 112 Which couple is going to the brothel?

Under the bright moon and sparse stars, Luoan City is still prosperous.

Especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the government lifted the ban on fireworks, so ordinary people were able to buy some fireworks, which made some children very excited.

In addition, just outside the Yanxi Gate, the imperial court prepared a large number of fireworks specifically for this Mid-Autumn Festival and set them off at night.

Therefore, from time to time, there were flaming flowers blooming in the sky and the sound of firecrackers in the open space on the ground, which made the already noisy night in Luoan City even more exciting.

The streets are filled with lanterns and other festive displays, and there is constant laughter and joy.

The streets are filled with music and dancing every day, and tonight is a great summer night. The Mid-Autumn Festival should be celebrated with joy.

Xun Kuang was lying in a room on the second floor of a brothel called "Shihuaguan".

There were three or four beauties surrounding him, and there was a beauty playing the piano on the side.

There were two people leaning against the window, their legs and feet exposed under their skirts, and the scenery under their skirts was vaguely visible, but the women didn't care that Xun Kuang was in the room. They stretched lazily, and the silver bells on their ankles jingled.

Suddenly, she playfully kicked her sister who was leaning on the window and watching the people coming and going below. Her sister immediately bent down and hit her with the silk fan in her hand. Then the two of them started laughing, causing many people downstairs to look up at the two women.

As for the others, they drank from each other's glasses, and when they lost a drinking game, they would try to cheat by pulling the other person's clothes and begging for mercy. This made the clothes that were already barely covering the body exposed even more, and the most beautiful thing under the clothes seemed to be eager to try. However, the woman just gently pulled her gauze dress to cover it slightly, but did not bypass the sister who lost the game.

Xun Kuang lay on the bench, looking at the women laughing and playing, the charming and beautiful girls, the red flying and the green dancing, and felt very happy.

Then he looked towards the full moon outside.

Suddenly, Xun Kuang was stunned. When he was young, a girl stole food from her home and sent it to him for him, and the girl's appearance at that moment was just like the full moon.

Xun Kuang smiled, and then he remembered that the girl had said to him, "Xun Kuang, you must remember, on this day of this month, outside the weeping willows and purple paths of Gusu, I will accompany you."

Xun Kuang smiled, closed his eyes slightly, looked up at the moon, listened to the noise outside and occasionally mentioned the name Su Changan, which was the most mentioned name in Luoan City today. Suddenly, he remembered what happened last night and today.

Su Changan is actually going to be the queen.

Moreover, Zhu Huang is back, and the Fourth Prince is back too!

All these things scared the dean to death.

Of course, the Imperial College was able to act independently in the court thanks to its teacher Mu Xu.

But the winter examination is coming soon, and students from all over the world are flocking to Luoan City, especially today when his teacher said that His Majesty intends to expand the number of Jinshi candidates in this year's winter examination by 100.

For all the examinees, the emperor's grace was immense! It was like holding an imperial examination for the emperor's sake!

But for the government, it is another matter.

I'm so worried.

There are more than a hundred people, but I have not announced it to the world. I only say this to the teacher.

This requires us to select one hundred people for Your Majesty.

But it's so worrying.

But as he thought about it, Xun Kuang curled his lips. After all, it was his teacher's business, so there was no point in worrying about it.

Then, Xun Kuang looked at the woman who poured wine for him and smelled the fragrance on her body: "It smells so good."

The woman blushed and said shyly, "Master Siye always makes fun of people."

Xun Kuang laughed, holding the wine glass in his hand towards the moon outside the window: "I drink alone, drink the moonlight, and feel lost for another year."

When a woman heard Xun Kuang say this, she smiled and said, "Master Siye always expresses his feelings in a different way every year."

Xun Kuang smiled and said, "I have grown older, but you are as beautiful as flowers in front of me, year after year."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the women in the room laughed.

Xun Kuang listened to the laughter of these beautiful young ladies and felt that it was as pleasant to the ears as the sounds of forests and springs.

At this time, a woman in light yellow clothes smiled and said, "Master Siye, instead of going over there to wait for Sister Baishi to appear, you asked us sisters to accompany you."

As she spoke, the woman looked jealous, and it was obvious that she said it on purpose.

Xun Kuang naturally understood, and shook his head and said: "If I had said that during this Mid-Autumn Festival, I still want to be with you all."

The women laughed again.

Xun Kuang picked up the wine glass and raised it to everyone.

Naturally, the women picked up their glasses and took a sip.

Suddenly, a woman looked at Xun Kuang and asked, "Master Siye, is the future queen really prettier than Sister Bai Shi?"

Someone asked, and another woman immediately asked, "I heard that His Majesty and the Queen publicly expressed their love in the palace last night, and this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was so big just to let everyone see this. Is it true?"

Xun Kuang heard this and immediately said seriously: "Hush~~Don't talk nonsense. Before officially announcing the date to the world, don't mention this title. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it will cause trouble."

The two women immediately covered their mouths and nodded.

Xun Kuang smiled and said, "Ms. Chang'an is indeed much more beautiful than Miss Baishi. As for the rest, you will know it later. It's not good to know too much."

Hearing this, although many guests had said this, some women present couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beauty that is."

Xun Kuang thought for a long time after hearing this: "Standing among the crowd, everyone else is just an ordinary person."

At this moment, the two women by the window suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! What a beautiful woman."

Upon hearing this, Xun Kuang immediately rushed over to take a look.

Then I saw what he just said: when one is alone, everything is quiet.

"So pretty, and she's dressed so plainly."

"Yes, yes, sister, look, she doesn't even do her hair. She's so beautiful. She looks just like Sister White Lion."

"She looks better than Sister White Lion."

"She and the young man next to her are holding hands, they look like a couple. I'm so envious."

…

The women who had also gathered around were all surprised.

However, Xun Kuang pursed his lips and looked puzzled: "Why is this person here?"

Xun Kuang looked curious and surprised, but when he looked over, he was a little stunned. He wiped his eyes subconsciously, and then...

Take a breath!

Why is this person here? !

Then, he immediately retreated, fearing that he would be seen.

but

I still secretly peeked out and looked down.

But looking at the expressions on the faces of the two as they talked, Xun Kuang felt that this relationship was indeed more than just a day or two.

No wonder Commander Yan reminded himself.

But he frowned, wondering what these two were doing in Huajie.

Come to see Liu Baishi?

Not really. Miss Chang'an is far better than Liu Baishi. Besides, there is no reason for couples to come to Red Street.

If it was someone who stole here alone, it would be understandable, but this couple came here.

Could it be that he wanted to see Zhao Xiaojia outside?

Not to mention that, even though Zhao Xiaojia is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, he is not that prestigious enough to have these two come.

Don't say you wandered here out of curiosity or boredom.

This is even more impossible.

How can these two people come here? I'm kidding, they are so busy. Oh, Miss Chang'an doesn't seem to be busy, but you two must spend the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the palace.

Strange!

How strange!!

Xun Kuang really couldn’t understand!

After all, why would this couple go to a brothel?

But when I thought about the sudden return of Zhu Huang and the fourth prince last night, many things in the capital were about to change.

He really couldn't help but think about it.

"It seems like he has entered our flower garden. Is he here to see Sister White Lion as well?"

"They look like a couple, but it feels weird. The young man is quite handsome."

Xun Kuang listened and looked outside carefully.

But outside, apart from those men and a few women who were looking into the flower pavilion with deep emotion, the two figures were nowhere to be seen.

Xun Kuang curled his lips and looked at the closed door, feeling somewhat helpless, but he had already made up his mind that at worst he would just stay here tonight, which was better than being discovered by His Majesty and Miss Chang'an.

…

As one of the most famous brothels on this red-light district, Shihuaguan is a huge place that is always bustling with guests.

Especially if the courtesan Liu Baishi is performing tonight, guests who come here won't even be able to get in unless they have a certain status.

Because of this, everyone in the Shihua Pavilion tonight is a well-known figure in the capital, and at the very least, they are the sons of powerful and wealthy families.

Su Changan looked around at the scene in the hall. There was singing and dancing, and in the middle of the pool there was a beautiful woman dancing to the music. There were tables scattered around, and each table was covered with a gauze curtain.

If you listen carefully, you can hear it clearly, the girls are laughing and talking erotically.

But people passing by didn't care at all.

Especially the idle women in the museum, their clothes were bold, some even wore only a gauze dress over their bellyband, and shorts. Their long and slender legs were extremely white, and their whole bodies were graceful. They were really worthy of being the women who mingled in brothels, so bold!

It was Yan Ruyu’s first time to come to such a place, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she just lowered her head and followed Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan.

However, he kept his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, keeping an eye on all directions, as there were all kinds of people in the brothels.

Maomao has gotten used to it. After all, her sisters often come here to dance, and she saw it so many times when she was a child that she doesn't care anymore.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan like this and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Su Changan nodded.

But then he shook his head: "It's a vulgar place, it's better not to watch it!"

Xia Fengxiang smiled, and then said: "I just stared at it! Just come and have a look. I brought you here, but you are still afraid of this and that. Where are you teasing me today?"

Su Changan shook his head: "It's different, it's different."

After saying that, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Now that we've finished, shall we leave? We can't stay here."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and scolded him with a smile, "What a shame! You were so excited before coming here that you even wanted to change into men's clothes, but now you're here like this, right? Go up and take a look. That Liu Baishi will be performing tonight, and I just happen to want to see what someone who can compare to my Changan looks like."

Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "I'll be jealous if you do this!"

Xia Fengxiang was confused: "Why are you jealous?"

Su Changan said seriously: "You said you were curious about what other people looked like."

Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "Su, are you looking for a fight? Are you imitating me and being unreasonable?"

Su Changan curled his lips: "You insisted on dragging me to the brothel."

Xia Fengxiang raised his eyebrows: "You mean it's my fault?"

Su Changan thought it would be better for him to keep quiet, but then he remembered what Xia Fengxiang had told him in the afternoon, that she was now dressed as a man and should be treated as a man.

As a result, I was a little unreasonable and this happened immediately.

Why!

but

Looking at Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan was actually quite curious as to why he was dragged to a brothel, and moreover, it had to be so far away from the Shihua Pavilion.

But seeing that Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

But at this time.

A brothel owner who looked to be in her forties came over. This brothel owner, who was over forty years old, was dressed in fancy clothes and she smelled of rouge just by walking over.

This made Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan and others frown.

The madam looked at Xia Fengxiang and then at Su Changan with a flattering look on her face: "Oh, this young lady is so pretty, but... are you here to see our White Lion? Don't worry, don't be shy, there are many talented ladies here tonight, all wanting to listen to our White Lion's singing and dancing."

Xia Fengxiang looked at the brothel owner and said, "My last name is Xia."

The madam was startled for a moment, but immediately remembered what the nobleman who came in the afternoon had told her to do, and immediately bowed to Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan: "It's my fault that I didn't recognize you. I've prepared everything for you."

As he said this, he moved aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Xia Fengxiang reached out and grabbed Su Changan's hand, and without saying anything, he walked towards the second floor.

Su Changan smiled politely at the brothel owner and went to the second floor with Xia Fengxiang.

However, she looked down at Xia Fengxiang who was holding her hand tightly, thought for a moment, and then gently held Xia Fengxiang's hand.

Xia Fengxiang felt it, and after glaring at Su Changan, he also grabbed Su Changan's hand.

Fingers interlocked.

Walking side by side.

The charming woman on the stairs whose clothes had just slipped off but who did not cover herself up looked at Su Changan curiously, thinking that she was such a beautiful woman.

But seeing this woman holding hands with the handsome young man, he felt like teasing her, so he not only threw a coquettish glance at the young man who was coming towards him, but also slightly tilted his body to show his long legs.

But she saw that the young man didn't even look at her, but only looked at the extremely beautiful woman next to him.

This made this woman unhappy. Although her status was not as high as Liu Baishi's, she was also famous in the Shihua Pavilion. What kind of person is she!

But on second thought, he looked at the extremely beautiful woman again and used the same trick again, but threw her a few more seductive glances.

But

She saw that the woman was only looking at the young man holding hands, and didn't even look at her.

She was a little unhappy again, but

Suddenly, I saw those two people looking at each other and smiling, especially the look in their eyes.

She was stunned and very unhappy.

But looking at the two men, especially the woman, she looked down at her clothes and subconsciously pulled them up, at least covering her body and restraining her charming posture.

A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, and then he looked at the private room the two men had entered, feeling a little envious, but it was only a fleeting thought.

Then she looked down at the guests.

But his eyes still glanced at the private seat.

She just saw it.

He only had eyes for her, and she only had eyes for him.

So she was a little envious, but also a little angry.

With such a loving couple, why did they come to the flower garden?

It makes people feel disgusted and envious~~~

…

Except for this prostitute, everyone around couldn't take their eyes off Su Changan since she came in. They just thought she was so beautiful!

Even though he went up to the second floor, a few lustful people followed him up, and when they saw him go into the house, they just felt it was a pity.

Then he ordered his servants to find out.

And these people hurriedly ran to other private rooms to inform the news.

…

Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang entered the room and found it to be quite simple and elegant.

The brothel owner looked at the two men with satisfaction and said with a smile, "If you open the small window over here, you can see our white lion dancing and playing tonight. This is the best seat in our flower pavilion tonight."

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "It's none of your business."

The madam wanted to say something, but after hearing this, she nodded immediately: "If you two have any other instructions, just tell me. I will prepare wine and food for you two right away."

Having said that, the madam left the room with a smile.

Even though she wanted to look at Su Changan again, because she thought Su Changan's smile at her just now was too handsome, she didn't dare to look at him any longer.

If you hang around in Beijing and someone looks at you a little more, you'll get into trouble.

but

Just as the brothel owner walked past the small window, she couldn't help but look inside, and was stunned.

Looking through the small window, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, a loving couple, were sitting at the table. The heroic woman with a sword was standing behind the young man, and the girl who had a pretty face but looked like a maid was standing next to the woman.

Especially the appearance of this man and woman and the woman with the sword

Looking through the small window, the brothel owner suddenly felt as if she had seen it before, as if twenty-six years ago, when she was a courtesan, she was performing there and accidentally saw the scene in this private room.

At that time, I just thought they were a loving couple.

But I was curious about why such a loving couple came to the brothel.

Just as she was curious just now.

Why would such a loving couple come to a brothel?

However, seeing this, the brothel owner was immediately surprised at how unruly she was. She quickly turned her head away, feeling lucky that these nobles were not angry.

Otherwise, based on the identity of the person who came to her in the afternoon to reserve this room, not to mention her, this flower pavilion might even disappear from the capital.

Xia Fengxiang glanced at the small window, smiled, then looked at Su Changan and said, "Do you know what that brothel owner looked like before?"

Su Changan shook his head.

Xia Fengxiang immediately said, "About twenty years ago, this brothel owner was a famous courtesan in the whole capital, no less famous than Liu Baishi today."

After saying that, Xia Fengxiang didn't care about Maomao and Yan Ruyu being here and said, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Su Changan thought for a moment: "Because you are curious about the Oiran?"

Xia Fengxiang said angrily: "You keep talking nonsense!"

Su Changan stopped talking.

Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan and said, "Do you remember the first time my father, the emperor, and my mother met? It was right here."

Xia Fengxiang continued, "Moreover, they came again later, and it was when the old procuress was performing on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "It turns out that when my father-in-law and mother-in-law were dating, they also liked to visit brothels."

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this and turned her head away, not daring to look at Su Changan.

The cat rolled its eyes, what a fool.

Xia Fengxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Changan, then stepped directly on the instep of Su Changan.

Su Changan felt pain.

Xia Fengxiang said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will be really angry and I won't be able to appease you no matter what you do! And what do you mean by father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and thought for a while: "Then I will also call you father emperor and mother queen? But we are not married yet, and we are going to worship tonight. I don't know if you two will be satisfied with me. Or should I just be thick-skinned and call you father emperor and mother queen?"

Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, and pretended to hit Su Changan, but after thinking for a while, he said angrily: "If my father sees you, he will definitely beat you to death!"

Su Changan vowed: "Then our mother will definitely love me."

Xia Fengxiang immediately cursed: "What do you mean by our mother?"
