Chapter 114 Can I Kiss You? Super happy kind
Xia Zhixu was a member of a group of three.
In addition to Meng Shaoan, Mr. Fang was also there.
However, Xia Zhixu didn't greet anyone, so even though he was sitting in the private room next to Yang Guofu's son Yang Yunzhong, the other party didn't know he was there.
In his own words, why say hello to trash?
Originally, Xia Zhixu was introducing to Meng Shaoan how great the Shihua Pavilion was, and what advantages Liu Baishi had compared to Su Changan.
But after all, compared to Su Changan, it seems that Liu Baishi can only dance, sing and play the piano.
It can't be compared with other places in any way.
However, Xia Zhixu was very confident that he could meet Liu Baishi. The reason was simple: Liu Baishi admired Su Changan, and he had sent people to inquire about the situation. Liu Baishi once wanted to spend three thousand taels to buy Su Changan's calligraphy and painting.
But others can’t buy it.
But Xia Zhixu had plenty of them, and he spent several thousand taels to buy so many of them, which made many people laugh at him.
What’s the result now?
From the previous events to the end of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Su Changan, the future empress, is now known as the "fallen immortal" in literary works. There are people in the market who are willing to spend 10,000 taels to buy the complete poems.
What a concept!
He, Xia Zhixu, has become rich!
Those who once laughed at him have now become the laughing stock themselves.
So Xia Zhixu has been in a good mood since this morning.
But now
I can't laugh anymore.
Looking at Yan Ruyu walking in front, Xia Zhixu asked tentatively: "Commander Yan, what does my sister want to see me for? And why is she here? This is not a place for someone of her status to come."
Commander Yan turned around and looked at Xia Zhixu with a cold expression: "Your Highness, are you going to intervene in the affairs of His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu immediately shook his head: "No, no, this is really scary. After all, I'm eating, drinking, and chatting, and suddenly they call me over. It's really scary."
In fact, to tell the truth, Xia Zhixu didn't dare to see his cousin. He had been bullied since he was a child. When he grew up and became the empress, he was even more afraid to see her.
Especially because of his father who was so anxious for no reason and was always trying to make trouble, he was even more afraid to see Xia Fengxiang.
Yan Ruyu turned around and stopped looking at Xia Zhixu, but still said, "Just call His Highness the Crown Prince and follow him. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Xia Zhixu curled his lips, but his eyes accidentally saw a brothel girl downstairs with her hands on her hips, her bellyband on the upper body about to fall off, her plump figure was about to show, and he couldn't take his eyes away.
It seemed as if he had forgotten that he was going to meet the empress.
And behind him.
Meng Shaoan was nervous and a little confused. Although it was not the first time he saw His Majesty, he was far away last night, but today he was going to meet him face to face.
Mr. Fang was calm and composed. He glanced at Xia Zhixu's expression at the moment, smiled slightly, and was looking forward to meeting the empress.
Yan Ruyu glanced at the scene the prince was watching downstairs, and a look of disgust flashed across her face.
Yan Ruyu disliked this prince very much. Although this prince had never publicly expressed hostility towards His Majesty like the Eighth Prince,
If she had to say who she hated more between the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince, Yan Ruyu would choose the Crown Prince.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang had been waiting for a long time, and they knew that Meng Shaoan and Mr. Fang were also there, so when Yan Ruyu brought people over, they didn't think anything of it.
After entering the room, I naturally closed the door.
Xia Zhixu was a little surprised that Su Changan was there too. He wondered why this young couple came to the brothel, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, there were so many strange things, especially more this year, so he immediately saluted with a playful smile: "Xia Zhixu, meet your majesty. Meet Miss Changan."
Behind him, Meng Shaoan swallowed his saliva, bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Student Meng Shaoan greets His Majesty. Greetings to Miss Chang'an."
Mr. Fang was calm and composed, and bowed and saluted: "I am Fang Wenhe, the humble servant, paying my respects to Your Majesty and Miss Chang'an."
It was fine for the other two, but after Mr. Fang introduced himself at the end, Su Changan noticed that Yan Ruyu's expression changed.
Is there any background?
Su Changan looked at Mr. Fang curiously.
Xia Fengxiang waved his hand, signaling the three to stand up. However, looking at the smiling Xia Zhixu, he asked with a smile, "Your Highness is quite rich."
Xia Zhixu was stunned for a moment, then she said with a sad face: "Sister, we have to have real evidence when we talk. I am the only one who has money? I am so poor that I have to rely on selling things at home to make a living every day."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "When I bought your sister-in-law's writing instruments, I spent a total of more than 5,400 taels. Now any one of them is worth more than 1,000 taels, not to mention the others. It's at least 20,000 or 30,000 taels, right? Don't you have money?"
Xia Zhixu pursed her lips, and seeing her cousin looking at her with amusement, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "I bought it, too, Your Majesty, you won't take it away, will you?"
At this point, Xia Zhixu looked at Su Changan: "And I... um~~ it's right to call you sister-in-law."
Seeing that Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan didn't say anything, Xia Zhixu immediately said, "Really? My sister-in-law didn't say anything, you can't do something that would bring down your status."
Su Changan looked at the behavior of this Crown Prince and thought that there was a big gap between him and the Eighth Prince. He wondered if they were his biological sons.
But even though he thought so, he still agreed with Xia Fengxiang and said, "Those things were sold by my brother without my permission, so strictly speaking, they still belong to me."
Xia Zhixu was stunned, and then immediately said: "I bought it with real money. You were there when the transaction was taking place."
Su Changan shook his head: "Although I was at the scene, I didn't know that the things being sold were mine."
Xia Zhixu became anxious and almost blurted out, "You are lying with open eyes."
But after thinking about it, he decided not to tell it because Su Changan's status was quite high. If he told it, he might get beaten. He believed that Xia Fengxiang could do it.
Xia Fengxiang said, "I won't steal it from you. You bought it for 5,400 taels, so I'll buy it back at the original price."
Without waiting for Xia Zhixu to speak, Xia Fengxiang looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Tomorrow, Ruyu, you go there."
Yan Ruyu clasped her fists.
Xia Zhixu was stunned on the spot.
Well, I'm going to be a joke again.
But after thinking about it, Xia Zhixu immediately said, "Sister, our sister-in-law would have thrown those things away as garbage, why do you have to do this?"
Su Changan said: "My female doctor needs those things to pack medicinal materials."
Hearing this, Maomao turned her head to look at Xia Zhixu and nodded: "We are in great need."
Xia Zhixu also glanced at the cat, not knowing what to say. Taking out the ink and medicinal herbs that cost a fortune outside, if this were to get out, it would be outrageous to both humans and gods!
Xia Fengxiang frowned as he looked at Xia Zhixu and said, "Xia Zhixu, when I'm talking to you nicely, you'd better not waste time on it. You're using the Queen's writing to exchange for a meeting with a prostitute. Even if I send you to the Ministry of Justice to be beaten with a stick today, your uncle will have nothing to say."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhixu immediately understood why he was suddenly summoned.
But he ignored Xia Zhixu and said, "In that case, I won't spend any money to buy it. Yan Ruyu will come and get it tomorrow."
Xia Zhixu curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
However, Xia Fengxiang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and instead looked at Meng Shaoan: "The line you wrote at the palace banquet last night, 'The osmanthus flowers fell, and after several words, they became my body.' is quite good. If you had recited it at that time, you would have received some reward."
Meng Shaoan was uneasy and bowed immediately: "I dare not embarrass myself in front of Miss Chang'an's poetry."
Xia Fengxiang can call herself the queen, and Su Changan can call herself the queen.
But others say that they need to think carefully, after all, they haven't really gotten married yet and haven't announced it to the world.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and asked, "I see you are not planning to take part in the Winter Examination? Did someone recommend you? Or do you want to be a staff member of the Eighth Prince's Palace?"
Meng Shaoan was stunned for a moment, but replied very respectfully: "I have already taken up the post of Junior Counselor in the Eighth Prince's Mansion."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and stopped looking at Meng Shaoan. Instead, he looked at Fang Wenhe, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Xia Zhixu and said, "Okay, go back. I'll have someone say hello to the brothel, and your secret bid will be withdrawn."
Xia Zhixu looked at Xia Fengxiang, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Sister, if you want those things, I will definitely give them to you. But there is something we can discuss. There is a word 'Ying Shi Tian' in that batch of writings. I can't figure it out. It has become a demon in my heart. I can't sleep well."
At this point, Xia Zhixu looked at Su Changan and said, "Sister-in-law, what is behind this?"
Su Changan shook his head: "I just wrote it casually, there is nothing behind it."
Xia Zhixu pouted, but looking at Xia Fengxiang, Xia Zhixu immediately asked: "How about I accompany you two to see the Oiran?"
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Go away."
Xia Zhixu grinned: "Okay!"
Immediately, he bowed to Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan, then turned around and left.
Meng Shaoan and Mr. Fang naturally bowed and left together.
But at this time.
There was cheering outside, obviously Liu Baishi was about to come out.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at the scene outside through the small window, then asked Su Changan, "Don't look at him like this, he is much more difficult to deal with than his father, my eighth uncle."
Su Changan nodded: "I feel it."
He was unmoved and like a piece of paste. He took all the beatings but didn't resist. When he said he wanted to take it away, it was painful to see him do so. But later he gave it away for free. It seemed like he was at a disadvantage, but he was not at a disadvantage in the first place.
People like this are the most difficult to deal with.
And at this moment.
The cheering and noise outside became even louder.
At the same time, looking out from Su Changan and their room, they could see countless petals falling from the sky, a rain of flowers, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
After Xia Zhixu left Su Changan's room, he happened to see this scene. He immediately rushed to the fence, looked up from the bottom, with an excited look on his face.
He didn't care at all that the writing materials that he had just felt so sorry for were really about to be lost.
Meng Shaoan originally wanted to persuade him a few more words, but seeing Xia Zhixu like this, he felt helpless. He felt that he could no longer understand what this prince was thinking.
Fang Wenhe, on the other hand, was used to it. However, after looking at Meng Shaoan and thinking for a while, he said, "Young Master should actually study hard in Xiangzhou."
Meng Shaoan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mr. Fang meant.
Fang Wenhe did not say much. After all, he just mentioned it casually. If this great scholar Meng could really understand, how could he answer like that after His Majesty had made it clear just now?
He has both literary talent and good planning.
But he is not suitable for the temple.
What a pity!
But at this time
Amid the flower petals, the gentle and continuous sound of a piano can be heard, sounding like lingering and sad, the gurgling of a spring, or the ringing of horse bells. Gradually it spread out like a tide, filling every corner of the flower house.
Many people were so engrossed in it that they looked up at the woman playing the piano who was sitting on a hanging disc and slowly descending from the sky.
Flowers fall and the moon wanes, and people become thinner. The graceful woman's ten fingers dance on the strings of the piano, and the timbre keeps changing, but the plaintive and weeping sound in these piano sounds is so desirable.
Inside the flower pavilion, everyone was looking at the woman who was gradually walking down to the center of the hall with great excitement. They were especially moved by her shoulders that looked like cut into waist that looked like a slender figure, her muscles like cream, her breath like orchid, her charming and boneless beauty, and they could not take their eyes away.
Now the most popular courtesan in the capital is 'Liu Baishi'.
Su Changan and his friends were in the private room, so they could see the outside clearly.
Especially when two people stood near the window, they had a clear view of the hall.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Liu Baishi and said, "Well, he is definitely not as good as you."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Su Changan, only to find that Su Changan seemed to be stunned. He felt jealous, "Is it beautiful? You are so absorbed in watching it. Look at you. You don't even look at me like that."
Su Changan nodded: "It's quite impressive."
Xia Fengxiang didn't get angry when he heard that. He just smiled and pinched Su Changan hard.
Su Changan felt pain immediately and almost cried out.
Xia Fengxiang let go of his hand and asked with a smile, "What's so great about it?"
Su Changan rubbed the twisted part, looked at Xia Fengxiang and said immediately: "I said she sat down from the sky like this, what do you think of the scene!"
Xia Fengxiang snorted.
Su Changan was helpless, but still said: "I want to see beautiful women, just look at you."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan: "Who knows if you are staring at the courtesan, and staring at her straightly!"
Su Changan had no way to defend himself, so he decided to keep quiet. However, he looked upwards curiously, wondering what had come down from above. This mechanism was quite clever.
If I could get this, I could make a swing at home and swing on it with my wife in my arms. It would be wonderful.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes when he saw Su Changan looking at it. He wondered what he was thinking when he saw a beautiful woman but instead of looking at the things on it!
But think about it
It’s better not to look at it!
While thinking this, Xia Fengxiang found that Su Changan had grabbed his hand. He looked down at Su Changan's hand, then raised his eyes to see Su Changan's serious expression.
Xia Fengxiang smiled faintly, held Su Changan's hand tightly, and continued to look outside.
At this time, Liu Baishi had already landed completely in the center of the hall. While plucking the strings of the zither with his fingertips, Liu Baishi looked up at the people on the first floor.
After a sweet smile, the sound of the piano flows hurriedly from the fingertips.
But just as the sound of the piano gradually faded away.
The music of the female musicians on both sides of the first floor suddenly started.
However, Liu Baishi was suddenly pulled up, as if he was hung up.
Then, two light blue silk ribbons with cloud patterns appeared woodenly on the oiran's snow-white long sleeves. They swayed gently, and the blue silk ribbons created blue waves on the stage.
Then she slowly landed in the middle, tapping her slender feet lightly, her clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy. As she spun around with brisk steps, her flowing sleeves and trousers fluttered along with the dance, and the silk ribbons lightly tapped the pool surrounding the stage, creating ripples on the water.
At this moment, Liu Baishi had a light and ethereal air, her expression was relaxed, her beautiful eyes were wandering, her rosy cheeks were smiling, she looked so charming.
This caused everyone present to applaud and cheer, and the sound of surprise and praise was endless.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan, who was also watching the dance but with a frown on his face, and asked, "Is it good?"
Su Changan nodded, but frowned as he looked at Xia Fengxiang: "It's pretty, but won't you feel dizzy spinning around like this?"
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he burst into laughter, then frowned and scolded, "Such a beautiful thing, but it has become distorted when it comes out of your mouth."
As he said this, he looked at the way the people below were looking at Liu Baishi. Of course, most of the men were eager and impatient, and of course there were also those who were romantic and reserved, while most of the women were envious. So he said, "Look at the looks of those people below. If they knew that you said this about the fairies in their hearts, they would definitely criticize you."
Su Changan sighed helplessly. He just asked a question that many people were curious about.
However, regarding Liu Baishi, Su Changan did admit that she was a beauty and good in all aspects.
but
I don’t know if it’s because he has seen his peerless beauty too much, but Su Changan just has the feeling that, well, she is a beauty.
I even feel that she is not as good as my own wife.
now
Bang!
But there was a sudden splash of water in the hall.
Then he saw Liu Baishi being hung up again.
Liu Baishi's hands were filled with ripples of silk ribbons, flying in the water like this, giving her a bit of the feeling of Chang'e flying to the moon.
When the people below saw this scene, they cheered again.
but
Xia Fengxiang watched this scene, stole a glance at Su Changan and said, "Su Changan."
Su Changan looked at his wife.
Xia Fengxiang continued, "Do you know? When my father and mother watched the performance of the then Oiran here, my father told my mother to marry him."
Su Changan looked down at Xia Fengxiang and wanted to say that he didn't know, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud because he felt that he would be beaten if he said it.
Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes and looked at Su Changan: "Su Changan!"
Xia Fengxiang looked straight at Su Changan: "I want to marry you, will you marry me?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment.
The hall was filled with applause as Liu Baishi danced in the air.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Okay."
Xia Fengxiang smiled sweetly, then asked with blushing cheeks: "Can I kiss you? The kind that makes me very happy."
Su Changan thought of what he had said to Xia Fengxiang when he was teasing her some time ago, so he smiled and said, "Something sweeter."
Xia Fengxiang was a little embarrassed, but he leaned forward and kissed Su Changan on the lips.
Everyone in the hall of the Shihua Pavilion cheered for the courtesan's dancing. No one noticed that on the second floor, a young couple was rebelliously kissing in the brothel, committing themselves to each other for life.
only
It’s not like no one saw it.
The courtesan Liu Baishi, right at this moment.
But I noticed this scene.
