Chapter 26: Pick two men to relieve boredom?
Shen Junheng just felt that this matter was a bit outrageous and always felt that something was wrong.
Another noblewoman came up to her and asked her maid to take out an ounce of gold and handed it to Ji Zixuan, saying, "Is this medicine really so effective? Give me a pill so I can try it."
Ji Zixuan was about to take out another pill when Xiao Jinhuan said sternly, "Everyone, please sit down. Xu Zhinian is waiting to perform a silent dance for everyone."
Xiao Jinhuan also saw that Ji Zixuan was trying to sell medicine, and immediately gave her a look to tell her to stop. Her princess residence was not a place to show off and sell medicine.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zixuan and the nobleman who was about to buy medicine immediately bowed to Xiao Jinhuan and returned to their seats.
Xiao Jinhuan raised his hands and clapped twice. A man named Xu Zhinian slowly walked onto the stage, bowed to Xiao Jinhuan, turned around and bowed briefly to the female guests, saying, "I am Xu Zinian. I dare to perform a dance for you gentlemen."
After Xu Zhinian finished speaking, he turned to the man who was rubbing the lady's shoulders, and said, "Nangong Hong, could you play a tune for me?"
Nangong Hong asked the noble lady in front of him for instructions. The lady nodded slightly. Then he nodded to Xu Zhinian, turned around, went to the inner room, and walked onto the stage with the zither in his arms.
Nangong Hong's slender fingers gently stroked the strings of the guqin. Each note was as clear as flowing water and as gentle as a breeze. The sound of the guqin was elegant and profound, making people feel as if they were in an ancient fairyland.
Xu Zhinian danced to the music, his long sleeves swaying gently in a graceful, soft yet powerful dance. His figure drifted with the rhythm of the piano, like a gentle breeze weaving through a boundless sea of flowers, or a butterfly dancing in the moonlight.
Xu Zhinian moved lightly and suddenly danced in front of the maid holding a lily. He picked a lily, held it horizontally in his mouth, and danced gracefully to Xiao Jinhuan's side. He supported himself on the table with one hand, rolled over and rubbed in front of her, put the lily in front of her, and looked at her eagerly with his crystal eyes.
Xiao Jinhuan smiled slightly and took the lily from his mouth.
The corners of Shen Junheng's mouth curled up unconsciously, and he thought to himself, Xiao Jinhuan eats really well, and Xu Zhinian is really good at flirting.
Shen Junheng was not the only one whose lips turned up in surprise. All the noble ladies present tried their best to maintain their dignity, but their expressions could not be seen closely.
"You danced really well!" There was warm applause from the audience. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ji Zixuan applauding, with her face showing no sign of hiding her admiration for Xu Zhinian.
Shen Junheng thought to himself that Ji Zixuan was a person of true character!
Xu Zhinian stood up leisurely, threw a coquettish glance at Ji Zixuan, and returned to the stage to continue dancing.
When Nangong Hong's piano music came to an end, Xu Zhinian's dance also ended.
Everyone felt that they were still not satisfied, and the two of them bowed to Xiao Jinhuan and the female guests one by one and returned to their original positions.
It's not necessarily true that Xu Zhinian dances very well. It's just that everyone is used to seeing delicate women dancing, and it's rare to see a man dancing, and his grace is even greater than that of a woman, so naturally they find it very amazing.
Shen Junheng sighed in her heart. In her previous life, she had only seen such performances on a certain audio platform. Now that she could be there in person, she could truly experience the happiness of a rich woman.
"Who wants to flip the card?" Xiao Jinhuan asked.
"Your Highness, I want to turn over." Ji Zixuan said as she left the table and walked towards the two maids who were carrying the tray.
Everyone laughed at her for being so unbecoming, and at the same time blamed her for taking away their first chance to turn over the cards.
As soon as Ji Zixuan walked to the square plate this time, he flipped the cards at frame 0. The name on the card he turned over was Xiang Zhili.
Xiang Zhili walked onto the stage holding a flute. He was tall and slender, with fluttering clothes and an extraordinary temperament, like a banished immortal.
Seeing him, Shen Junheng couldn't help but think that if he traveled to the 21st century and someone wanted to remake "Journey to the East", he would be the chosen Han Xiangzi.
He said he was good at playing the flute.
Play the flute?
The corners of Shen Junheng's mouth curled up even higher, and his smile was a little difficult to describe.
She wanted to say that she had no wrong thoughts, but would anyone believe her?
She glanced at the noble ladies at the table and saw that their expressions of covering their faces and laughing were exactly the same as hers. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, it turned out that their underlying color was yellow.
The sound of the flute begins, like the sound of a spring flowing through a hollow valley, ethereal and distant. Each note seems to float from the distant horizon, curling and swirling in the air, almost indistinctly entering one's ears.
The sound of the flute is like a wisp of smoke in the dusk, ethereal and without a trace of worldly air, making people's soul seem to be away from the hustle and bustle of the world and led into a quiet fairyland.
The ladies all listened attentively, their yellowed hearts being purified and faded little by little by the sound of the flute.
After the song is finished, the lingering sound remains in the air.
After Xiang Zhili stepped down from the stage, when Xiao Jinhuan asked who wanted to flip the card, everyone became much more active. From then on, Xiao Jinhuan didn't even need to ask, as soon as the gentleman stepped down from the stage, people would rush to flip the cards.
All of Xiao Jinhuan's lovers were truly talented and beautiful, and the talents they performed were both elegant and seductive. Everyone was very satisfied, so much so that when the show ended, they were still reluctant to leave.
When Shen Junheng stood up, Xiao Jinhuan pointed at the gentlemen standing beside him and said, "Are there any you like? If so, pick two and bring them back to your house to entertain you in your free time."
Shen Junheng was slightly shocked. She felt that she was still too conservative compared to Xiao Jinhuan.
Shen Junheng waved his hand: "Ah Huan, I'm already married, this isn't a good idea."
"That's great. Didn't you say you hate He Pingzhi now? This is a good excuse for a divorce."
Shen Junheng rolled his eyes at her. Xiao Jinhuan was a favored princess, so of course she could do as she pleased, no one dared to use secular ethics to constrain her. But she couldn't. If she divorced He Pingzhi because of her lover, not only would her father's reputation be damaged, but her sister, Chen Yaochai, would also be unable to marry into a good family.
Shen Junheng said nonchalantly, "We live so close to each other, I won't bring her back home. I'll come over when I'm free."
Xiao Jinhuan smiled wickedly and whispered in her ear, "Why don't you stay at my house tonight? I'll let my two gentlemen keep you company."
Shen Junheng's body trembled and his ears turned red.
Although she was lustful, in her previous life, she had only ever watched videos of handsome men dancing on Tik Tok and had never even been to a nightclub. She still felt uncomfortable about actually having sex with a man.
In her previous life, she was an orphan. She had no relatives or friends when she was a child, and she had not established close relationships with others. As a result, when she grew up, she would feel uncomfortable when someone touched her.
"A gentleman does not take away what others like. You should keep these gentlemen and enjoy them slowly." After saying this, Shen Junheng quickly slipped away.
When she walked outside the princess's mansion, she saw several nobles buying medicine from Ji Zixuan, so she went over and bought a pill.
Shen Junheng took the pill to several well-known pharmacies in the capital and asked many doctors about the ingredients. The doctors pondered for a long time, almost pulling their hair out, and said they had never seen it before and had no idea what was in the medicine.
