Dream House.

"Fifth sister, can we really come here like this?"

Ning Yuehang was both excited and worried, with a very complicated expression on his face.

"Don't you want to stay in the capital for a while longer? You said you would listen to me in everything. Are you scared now?"

Ning Xihua looked at him with disdain, then turned around and continued to look calmly at the dancers performing on the stage.

"No, if Sheng...if your husband knew that I accompanied you to such a place, I would not stay in the capital for a longer time, but would be exiled directly to the capital."

He still remembered that when the emperor just mentioned that he wanted to take her to a brothel to listen to music, he was packed up and sent to the northern border by his second uncle, and he stayed there for four years. It brings tears to his eyes when he talks about it.

Song Yi, who was standing next to him, had a numb expression on her face and sighed secretly.

No one could stop her if her own queen insisted on coming. She only hoped that if the emperor found out, he would spare her life for the sake of her own queen.

Ning Xihua consoled him, "Now that you are here, make the best of it. You are already sitting here, it is too late to worry."

Ning Yuehang thought about it and it was true. For a long time, he had wanted to see what the difference was between the songs sung by the girls in the Qinlou and Chuguan in the capital and those in Yizhou city.

So when Ning Xihua dragged him here, he agreed reluctantly.

"It's really unkind of my second brother to break the promise on the pretext of being busy with official duties. He was the one who took us around Yizhou all the time."

Ning Yuehang complained, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with his second brother who rejected him so righteously.

Song Yi, who had been silent, seemed to see through everything and gave Ning Yuehang a sympathetic look.

Ning Xihua thought it was nothing. She said while eating melon seeds,

"That's normal. My second brother is now a fourth-rank official in Beijing. If he is seen wandering around in a place like this, he will inevitably be criticized, which will affect his future career. I just saw their Minister of Works and Junior Official of the Supreme Court downstairs."

Ning Yuehang nodded to show his understanding, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.

"Wait, you mean, you saw the Minister of Works and the Junior Official of the Dali Temple when you came up just now!?"

"Yes."

They were now sitting in a private room on the second floor, with curtains on the windows, providing great privacy and not being disturbed by outsiders. When she went upstairs, she saw the two ministers heading to another private room.

Ning Yuehang stood up suddenly, "Did they see you too?"

Ning Xihua glanced at him, as if he was asking a question that he already knew the answer to, "Yes."

Ning Yuehang began to pace back and forth in the room anxiously, scratching his head as he walked.

"It's over, it's over now. They must have recognized you."

Ning Xihua impatiently reached out and pushed him aside; he was blocking her from looking at the beauty.

"You're still in the mood to watch? I told you to dress up as a man to hide your identity, but you just walked in wearing women's clothes."

Ning Xihua couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

"What's the big deal? The brothel owner doesn't care whether the guests are men or women. I just need money. Besides, what law in the court stipulates that women can't visit brothels?"

Ning Yuehang was devastated. "My ancestors, the law doesn't say that women can't visit brothels, but you are a married woman!"

But she argued with him, "What's wrong with being a married woman? Can't a married woman go to a brothel?"

Ning Yuehang was speechless, with a look of despair and helplessness on his face, as if the end of the world was about to come.

Song Yi silently poured Ning Xihua a glass of water so that she could moisten her throat.

Tsk, why bother to argue with your own queen? After all, even the emperor can't argue with her queen.

Ning Xihua was somewhat disgusted with her fourth brother's depressed look, which affected her mood of looking at beauties. She then spoke to comfort him,

"Don't worry, it's okay. They don't dare to tell anyone."

Ning Yuehang looked unconvinced, "How do you know they wouldn't dare? There are so many people waiting to find fault with you and impeach you."

Ning Xihua smiled, "How did they impeach me? They said they accidentally ran into me while visiting a brothel?"

She felt that the tea was a bit tasteless, so she reached out and poured him a glass of wine, and then she leisurely took a sip of the fine brew.

"They are all accomplices. They would be stupid to impeach me."

So the two ministers would not only not tell anyone, but would also do their best to keep it a secret for her. After all, if the matter got out, the first ones to be blamed would be these two people, and a feud would definitely be formed.

Ning Yuehang suddenly realized.

"Fifth sister is still smart."

He immediately felt at ease and confident. He sat down and started cracking melon seeds like her.

Song Yi shook her head secretly again.

Alas, General Ning will be sold out one day and still help others count money.

The singing and dancing in the audience came to an end, and the highlight of the night began.

The old procuress, who still had her charm, came on stage and said in a pinched voice,

"Tonight is the first time that Miss Yunxiang, the top girl in Zuimenglou, will be available to receive customers. I hope you will come and support us!"

At last, a woman in a light red dress appeared on the stage. She had a charming face and a graceful posture, and was a beauty that was hard to forget at first sight.

Soon after, various biddings started from the audience.

The shouts came one after another, and it was obvious how popular Miss Yunxiang was.

Ning Xihua was watching it with great interest, and even jokingly asked her fourth brother,

"How about I give you an offer?"

Ning Yuehang shook his head quickly, with a terrified expression that said "don't get close to me".

He didn't want to be beaten with a military stick by his second uncle when he returned.

Ning Xihua was just joining in the fun and had no intention of bidding. Until the madam finally called out, "Mr. Chen, five hundred taels, five hundred taels, is there anyone who wants to bid more?"

She leaned her head over to take a closer look. Hey, what a coincidence.

"One thousand taels."

The madam was instantly excited, "One thousand taels, the distinguished guest on the second floor bids one thousand taels!"

Chen Fen was not convinced, "One thousand five hundred taels!"

"Two thousand taels."

The madam stared at the private room on the second floor with shining eyes and shouted excitedly, "Two thousand taels!"

Chen Fen also looked up at the second floor with hatred, gritted his teeth, and said loudly,

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

"Three thousand taels."

The madam couldn't hide the wrinkles on her face as she smiled. "Three thousand taels, three thousand taels. Is there any customer who wants to increase the price?"

Chen Fen touched his waist bag and his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Three thousand taels once! Three thousand taels twice! Three thousand taels three times! Deal!"

Miss Yunxiang cast a faint gaze towards the private room on the second floor, and the figure of a young man could be vaguely seen behind the curtain.

"Congratulations, young master! Miss Yunxiang will serve you exclusively tonight!"

The people below were also talking about it, wondering when such a generous young man from a noble family appeared in the capital.

Ning Yuehang, on the other hand, had a bitter look on his face.

If I help my fifth sister buy the virginity of an Oiran, will my second brother and second uncle kill me when I go back? They will, right? They will definitely!

"Does Fifth Sister have a grudge against Mr. Chen?"

Ning Xihua looked at Chen Fen's face full of reluctance and anger, and nodded in a good mood.

“I guess so.”

When the banquet was held in Linhua Palace that year, the one who slandered her for having an affair with him in public was none other than the son of the Marquis of Luanyang, Master Chenfen.

However, I heard from Huaichuan before that Mr. Chen was not doing well. How come he was still seen in the brothel?

Alas, she is such a kind person. She saved the dissolute Mr. Chen from harming a woman, which can be considered as her doing a good deed for him.

However, Ning Xihua wanted to do good things for others, but they refused.

The more Chen Fen thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that not taking the photo of the courtesan was a small matter, but losing face was a big matter.

He wanted to see who was so blind as to snatch people from Master Chen!

Chen Fen went up to the second floor with great momentum and headed straight towards the private room.

When the madam saw that something was wrong, she quickly called for help, but they were stopped outside by the servants of the distinguished guest in the private room.

On the contrary, Chen Fen walked in unhindered and kicked the door open.

"How dare this wild boy..."

"Dare what?"

Chen Fen was stunned for a moment when he saw the man, and then he came to his senses all of a sudden when he heard the man in front of him asking him with a smile.

His legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thud, without any hesitation.
