After this incident, Ji Xingzhi secretly decided that he would never sneak out of Beigong in broad daylight again.
It was very deserted outside the palace, even deserted than inside.
The streets were deserted, the doors and windows of every household were closed, and the cold wind blew up the fallen leaves. Ji Xingzhi couldn't help shivering and searched for several streets before she found a cloth shop.
Ji Xingzhi went to the cloth shop and bought a set of blue robes to change into, then walked away towards the empty streets.
"Sir, is there anything in trouble?" Seeing Ji Xingzhi hesitate to move forward, the cloth shop owner asked kindly.
The owner of the cloth shop was about forty years old, with a peaceful face and a friendly personality.
Ji Xingzhi frowned and asked, "Boss, is there any busy place nearby?"
The boss thought for a while and shook his head: "No."
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help feeling disappointed. She had finally avoided the imperial teacher's nagging and took advantage of the New Year holiday to go out and have some fun, but in the end there was no one on the street. It was really depressing.
Seeing Ji Xingzhi's gloomy expression, the boss thought for a moment and said, "There's an Anxiang Tower up ahead. They're auctioning off a girl's virginity, and many people are going there to join in the fun. Perhaps you could go there and take a look."
Ji Xingzhi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Is Anxianglou opening soon?"
She was a frequent visitor to the Anxiang Tower, but her visit had never been in vain.
"Not really, this is the first time." The boss thought for a moment and replied.
Ji Xingzhi nodded thoughtfully, bought a hooded cloak from the boss and put it on, said "Thank you, boss," and hurried to Anxianglou.
Looking at Ji Xingzhi's happy back, the boss shook his head secretly, thinking that he was another lustful man.
When Ji Xingzhi arrived at the Anxiang Tower, she froze in her tracks. As the owner had said, the place was bustling with activity, both inside and out. But what kind of fragrant treasure could be auctioned to cause such a stir? No wonder the streets were deserted; everyone had come here.
Ji Xingzhi stood outside the crowd and watched, feeling that things must not be as simple as the cloth shop owner thought.
Because, it was not just men who came to watch the fun, there were the old, the weak, women and children, and most of them were women. Even some ladies who never went out of the house came to Anxiang Tower with veils and their entourage to watch the fun. This was more than just a little strange.
Thinking of this, Ji Xingzhi pulled a brother nearby and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong here? Why are there so many people?"
The elder brother glanced back at Ji Xingzhi briefly before looking away and saying, "I heard that a portrait of the Regent is being auctioned at the Anxiang Tower. It's very lifelike. The Prince is wise and powerful, a true example of a man. But the Prince rarely goes out, and even when he does, he rarely shows up. That's why everyone has come here to see the Regent."
After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but touch his chin. He didn't expect that just a portrait of the emperor's uncle could cause such a sensation. What would happen if the emperor's uncle showed up in person?
"Isn't this big brother going in?" Ji Xingzhi asked.
The eldest brother shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I won't go in. You go in."
Well, let Ji Xingzhi make way.
Ji Xingzhi understood and thought that this big brother couldn't get in because he had no money, so he thanked him and squeezed in.
I squeezed to the door, paid the entrance fee, and then I was able to enter the gate of Anxiang Tower.
After tidying up her messy hair, Ji Xingzhi looked up and saw an acquaintance.
