Text 20. Xiaobao's Story (3) Author: Feng Qing

Huayuelou is the most famous brothel in Nanjing, because there is a stunning woman named Jiren in Huayuelou who is known as the best prostitute in Jiangnan. Friendly reminder: This book is updated on the website first, please search on Baidu + Since the Great Chu moved south to Jiangnan, there have been many people who have been drunk and dreaming. Even in the past few years, the whole Jiangnan has not become serious because of Mo Suiyun's determination to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Instead, there is still a constant stream of decadent music, and countless princes, sons of noble families, talented men and outstanding people sleep with flowers and willows all day long, intoxicated. This has made Jiren Miss's reputation spread far and wide.

On this day, a few strange guests came to Huayue Tower. Brothels are usually closed during the day, but three guests came early in the morning on this day. Two handsome young men, one dressed in black, handsome and handsome, with a smile on his face. The other one wore dark green clothes, tall and straight, with a cold expression. The most important thing is that the young man in white was holding a five or six-year-old baby in a white brocade dress. As soon as these three people entered the door, they asked the top prostitute in Huayue Tower to sing a song. The madam, who was not very happy at first, smiled immediately after seeing the silver note handed over by the other party. The purpose of opening a brothel is to make money. As long as there is money to be made, who cares whether it is open during the day or at night?

Thus, the two teenagers and a child were welcomed by the brothel owner with a smile on her face and into the best music hall on the second floor of Huayue Tower.

The sound of the piano rang out in the air, with fine wine and delicious food, beautiful maids looking around, and charming dancers dancing. Mo Xiaobao was half lying in a recliner, drinking wine, squinting his eyes to watch the singing and dancing in front of him, and the stunning beauty wearing a veil sitting not far away playing the piano. Mo Yufeng was placed in the chair by him, lying on him, curiously looking at the singing and dancing in front of him, his big eyes rolling around.

Qin Lie sat in a chair on the other side, eating the freshest specialty fruit from Jiangnan, and casually asked, "Are the brothels in Jiangnan more fun than those in Licheng?" Licheng is now the most prosperous city in the Central Plains. What kind of brothels and wine houses are not there? There are even many blonde-haired and blue-eyed Hu Ji, and I have never seen how much Mo Xiaobao likes them. If you say it's for this stunning beauty, that's even more wrong. What kind of beauties have not been seen in Licheng? At least half of the top ten beauties and talented women in the world are in Licheng.

Mo Xiaobao glanced at him lazily and said, "Ah Lie, don't you understand that in Licheng... you always have to be cautious when playing? You can't play too much on your own territory."

Qin Lie nodded in understanding. Most of the people in Licheng grew up watching Mo Xiaobao and Tingxue. Prince Mo felt that he couldn't let go of his own territory. As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its nest.

Mo Xiaobao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's right. Besides... since we are in Jiangnan, it would be a shame not to take a look at the most famous prostitute in Jiangnan."

"Now that you've seen it, what do you think?" Qin Lie asked.

Mo Xiaobao sighed and said, "The young emperor has very average taste." Although the most famous prostitute in Jiangnan did not pull down her veil, Mo Xiaobao claimed to have seen countless people and could tell how stunning this girl's appearance was just by looking at her eyes. And her piano skills, which were said to be the best in Jiangnan, were very average. Did you think that I couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in your piano music because I had never learned to play the piano?

"What did you say? What does this have to do with the little emperor?" Qin Lie almost jumped up from his chair. Mo Xiaobao looked at him innocently, "Huh? Didn't I tell you? The attacker is Mo Suiyun's confidante."

Qin Lie almost wanted to vomit blood. He had just ordered someone to seduce someone's fiancée this morning, and now he's trying to seduce someone's confidante. Do you really think that little emperor Mo Suiyun doesn't have a temper? Even a strong dragon can't defeat a local snake. If you really piss off Mo Suiyun, be careful that he'll kill you in secret!

"Ah Lie, don't be nervous." Mo Xiaobao comforted Qin Lie with a smile. Qin Lie glanced at the attacker who was playing the piano with his head down not far away, and sneered: "I'm not nervous. If Mo Suiyun gets angry, the person he wants to kill is definitely not me."

Mo Xiaobao propped up his chin and said lazily, "Alie, you think too much. Don't think that everyone is as violent as you. I just came to visit the attacker. Does Mo Suiyun have to kill me? Or do you think Mo Suiyun is a romantic who prefers beauty to the kingdom?"

Qin Lie was speechless. Based on their understanding over the past few years, the words Mo Suiyun and the term "love saint" were probably as far-fetched as Mo Xiaobao being a good person.

"Two gentlemen, I'll take my leave." When the song ended, Miss Ren, still dressed in light colors, stood up and bowed, saying lightly. Ren has been the most famous prostitute in Jiangnan for several years. She has made friends with countless nobles, nobles, and scholars. All of them treated her with respect and courtesy. However, these two young men came a long time ago and insisted on listening to her play the piano. That would have been fine, but in fact, they didn't listen at all. They just talked there, self-satisfied with the sound of her piano. Such contempt and neglect were almost something Ren had never encountered before. She was already a little unwilling, and now her expression became even colder.

"Excuse me?" Mo Xiaobao sat up, looked at the attacker with a smile and said, "I am waiting for a friend. It's boring now that the friend hasn't come yet. Miss, please play a few more songs for me."

Xiu Ren was furious and was about to reject the offer coldly. But he was speechless when his eyes met the boy's eyes. There was a happy smile in those dark eyes, but for some reason, Xiu Ren felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to reject the offer but he couldn't say it.

Mo Xiaobao glanced at the attacker calmly and said, "Miss, you should just sit down. You should know the person who is coming."

Therefore, the most famous prostitute in Jiangnan, who used to be spotless, had to sit down quietly.

After about half an hour, steady footsteps were heard outside the door. Mo Xiaobao raised his hand, and the music in the hall stopped. He looked at the door and saw Mo Suiyun in casual clothes standing at the door. However, there was a very beautiful girl in blue clothes beside him. The girl was stunned when she saw Mo Xiaobao half lying on the couch in the hall playing with his brother. She looked a little strange.

"Brother Suiyun, why don't you come in?" Mo Xiaobao said with a smile.

Mo Suiyun stepped into the hall, his eyes stayed on the assassin for a moment, then he looked at Mo Xiaobao and said calmly: "Prince Ding is in a good mood." Mo Xiaobao smiled and said: "Where? This prince has just arrived in Jiangnan and doesn't know where to have fun. I just heard that Miss Assassin's piano skills are praised by Brother Suiyun, so I came here to feast my ears. I hope Brother Suiyun won't blame me."

"No, no! Prince Ding, you are too kind." Mo Suiyun said with gritted teeth.

Mo Xiaobao was very polite, "I knew that Brother Suiyun would not be so stingy. Ah Lie, do you think I was right?" Qin Lie looked at Mo Xiaobao speechlessly, walked over and took Mo Yufeng out of Mo Xiaobao's arms to avoid any accidental injury.

Didn’t you see the look in Mo Suiyun’s eyes that seemed to want to strangle you to death?

"Young Master." Seeing Mo Suiyun, Ren immediately stood up and went to greet him, looking at him with some grievance. Her charming eyes also had a circle of red marks. However, Mo Suiyun did not support her and comfort her as she thought. He just glanced at him and walked to sit opposite Mo Xiaobao, saying calmly: "Prince Ding is a guest, as long as Prince Ding enjoys himself. Ren did not neglect Prince Ding, did he?"

Hearing this, the pretty face of the maid turned pale and she bit her lips lightly, not daring to speak. Mo Xiaobao seemed not to see the fear in her eyes, and smiled and said, "This courtesan is inevitably a bit arrogant. Just like the courtesan in our Li City, what's her name... She always turns her face away every time I go there. Miss Maid Ren is already very good."

Mo Suiyun glanced at him calmly and said, "You can go back now. You don't have to stay in Huayue Tower anymore."

"Yes... Sir." The attacker said in a low voice with a hint of trembling. Although she was the most beautiful courtesan in Huayue Tower, she was also a spy planted by Mo Suiyun in Huayue Tower. Nowadays, the powerful officials in Nanchu all liked to sleep with prostitutes, so naturally there was a lot of information that could be obtained from brothels. Therefore, the attacker was also highly valued by Mo Suiyun. However, she had been a spy for several years, but she did not expect that the two young men who came to listen to the music together would be the new Prince Ding, Mo Yuchen, and she even offended him. However... even if she did not offend Mo Yuchen, she would not stay in Huayue Tower for long, right? Mo Suiyun had never been to the brothels, but Prince Ding knew that they had a close relationship. It must be that he had known her true identity for a long time and came to her door.

After sending the attackers away, Mo Suiyun looked at Mo Xiaobao and said, "Prince Ding, we have finished listening to the song. Why don't we go to another place to discuss it?" Even though Mo Suiyun had become thick-skinned over the years, he was still embarrassed to discuss issues like marriage or alliance with Mo Xiaobao in such a place. It felt like... even if the deal was successful, it would not be like marrying a princess to the other party, but rather like giving away a prostitute.

Mo Xiaobao, however, did not have such fuss. He looked at the rather tasteful lobby and said, "Why bother? The girls in Huayue Tower are not very pretty, but their snacks are pretty good. Brother Suiyun, please do not be so accommodating. Brother Suiyun is really lucky. The top courtesan just passed away. I think this girl is no worse than that girl who attacked me."

Princess Lin'an, who was following Mo Suiyun, turned pale and glared at Mo Xiaobao with some resentment. Mo Suiyun also knew Mo Xiaobao's character. He had no manners when talking to outsiders. He could only calmly say, "This is the emperor's sister, Princess Lin'an. Lin'an, this is Prince Ding."

Princess Lin'an took a step forward, bowed and said, "Lin'an meets Prince Ding."

Mo Xiaobao tilted his head to look at Princess Lin'an and said with a smile, "I am sorry for being rude. Please forgive me, Princess."

Princess Lin'an blushed slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty has seen it."

Mo Suiyun looked at Mo Xiaobao with a smile and said, "Lin'an's talent and appearance can be regarded as one of the best in the world. Moreover, he has admired the Princess Dowager Ding since he was a child and has been diligent in martial arts. He can be regarded as a man of both civil and military talents."

"Royal brother..." Princess Lin'an said coquettishly. Mo Suiyun smiled leisurely, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Xiaobao. Mo Xiaobao blinked his eyes, looked at Princess Lin'an with a smile and said: "Princess, you have worked really hard, but why are you imitating my mother? My father has no intention of taking a concubine in this lifetime."

“…”

Princess Lin'an, who was smiling sweetly, turned pale and looked like she was about to fall. Although they had only met for less than a quarter of an hour, Princess Lin'an had already experienced the power of this handsome young man. Prince Mo was handsome and had a natural innocent face with a sweet smile. I don't know how many people who claimed to be smart had been deceived by him. When they first met, even though Princess Lin'an was well prepared, she still couldn't help but be moved. It was a pity that this charming thought was shattered by Mo Xiaobao before it could ferment. If Mo Xiaobao wanted to pretend to be innocent, you would think he was innocent even if he killed someone in front of you. But if he wants to irritate someone, no matter how sweet his smile is, it will make people want to punch him in the face.

Not only Princess Lin'an, but even Mo Suiyun's expression changed. Mo Suiyun's expression darkened slightly, and he said calmly: "Prince Ding is joking. The previous uncle of Prince Ding was sincere to the princess and everyone knows it. How could Lin'an have such an idea that is beyond his ability?"

Mo Xiaobao tilted his head, casually fed his brother a snack, and asked with a smile: "It's good that there is no one. To be honest... I don't want to have another little wife. Princess, I'm sorry that I misunderstood."

Princess Lin'an's face turned pale and blue for a long time before she finally calmed down and said with a forced smile, "Your Highness, you are too polite. It was just a misunderstanding."

Seeing Princess Lin'an like this, Mo Suiyun sighed and waved to Princess Lin'an, signaling her to leave. Princess Lin'an didn't want to face this troublesome Prince Ding here, so she bowed and turned to leave.

Watching Princess Lin'an leave, Mo Xiaobao sneered and winked at Qin Lie with pride, not caring at all that there was another person involved. Mo Suiyun stared at Mo Xiaobao and said in a deep voice, "Lin'an is a girl. What Prince Ding said just now was a bit too much."

Mo Xiaobao was at a loss, "I am too modest."

"..." Do you think that if you pretend to misunderstand others, they won't be able to tell that you did it on purpose?

Mo Suiyun said in a deep voice: "Prince Ding, do you still remember what I proposed a few days ago?"

Mo Xiaobao sat up, slightly less excited, and asked, "Marriage?"

Mo Suiyun nodded. Mo Xiaobao stroked his chin and asked, "Princess Lin'an?"

"Lin'an is naturally the best candidate. If Prince Ding is not satisfied, I still have several other sisters."

Mo Xiaobao waved his hands and said, "I'm not dissatisfied, but... I'm still young and have no plans to get married for the time being. If Princess Lin'an can wait, it's fine."

"Prince Ding is already sixteen years old, it's time for him to get married." Mo Suiyun said. Mo Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "I plan to do the same as my father and get married at the age of twenty-five."

There are still nine years left before she turns twenty-five. Princess Lin'an will have become an old maid by then. If Mo Xiaobao keeps his promise, it won't matter if he gives up a princess. But who knows what will happen in these nine years?

"I heard that Licheng is preparing to hold a banquet to select concubines?"

Mo Xiaobao laughed and said, "Not bad, Brother Suiyun is interested?"

Mo Suiyun said in a deep voice: "What if Lin'an can stand out from the imperial concubine selection banquet?"

Mo Xiaobao said sincerely: "Then I will carefully select a suitable husband for the princess."

"?"

Mo Xiaobao touched his nose and said with a smile, "Brother Suiyun, Licheng is planning to hold a beauty pageant."

"What's the difference?"

"Choose them so that I can arrange marriages for them, so that they won't be thinking about me all day long." Mo Xiaobao said as a matter of course.
