Chapter 33 Buying Male Concubines
The brothels claim to sell art but not their bodies, but this is just a marketing tactic. They do sell themselves, but only once, and this one time is worth more than what a brothel would sell many, many times, and at a higher price.
And Her Highness can definitely afford this exorbitant price.
He knew that the princess was not only of noble birth, but also had a great business sense. She owned many shops in the Great Wei Kingdom, and each shop was profitable every month. In addition, the princess also owned several mines, which he heard were gifts from His Majesty.
In addition, Her Highness the Princess also has a fiefdom. Although the location of the fiefdom is remote, it is extremely large. It is said that it was a wedding gift bestowed upon Her Highness the Princess by the late Emperor.
While Hua Manlou was thinking about these things, Lan Luo had already released his pheromones.
Tianyao stood in front of Lanluo and sniffed carefully.
The taste is not bad; it has a light orchid fragrance.
"You can stop releasing pheromones now."
Tianyao took another step back, stood in front of Lanluo, and gave the order.
Upon hearing this, Lanluo hurriedly stopped releasing pheromones and looked up at Tianyao.
The princess had a smile on her face; did that mean she liked his pheromones?
Lanluo glanced at Tianyao, then quickly lowered her head, secretly thinking.
"Are you two willing to enter the Princess's residence and become my male concubines?"
Tianyao turned around, walked to the chair, sat down, took the warm tea handed to her by the maid, took a sip, looked at Hua Manlou and Lanluo, and asked in a cold voice.

Hua Manlou and Lan Luo were shocked. They thought that the princess only intended to take one person, but they didn't expect that the princess wanted them all.
The two exchanged a glance, and then spoke one after the other.
Hua Manlou: "I'm willing."
Lanluo: "I'm willing."
The plan went smoothly. Of course, how could the best courtesans in the brothel compare to the male favorites in the princess's residence?
Thinking about all this, Tianyao opened her mouth and spoke.
"Alright, then you will come back to the Princess's residence with me now. I'll give you one incense stick's time to pack your luggage."
She bought two male concubines as casually as an ordinary person buying two cabbages on the street.
Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou and Lan Luo bowed respectfully and left the living room.
After Hua Manlou and Lan Luo left, Tian Yao turned to look at the maid.
"Go and call the manager of the brothel."
"Your Highness, the manager of the brothel has been waiting at the door."
The maid leaned down and whispered in Tianyao's ear.
Upon hearing this, Tianyao looked towards the door and saw a brightly dressed woman standing there with a smile on her face.
Is she the manager of the brothel?
She didn't know who owned the brothel; if she did, she would be quite interested in meeting them.
Tianyao raised her hand, beckoned to the woman at the door, and whispered.
"Come in."
Upon seeing this, the woman's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly walked up to Tianyao.
She was about to perform a grand ceremony while carrying her dress.
"No need for formalities, just name your price. I'll take both of them."
Tianyao said very generously.
Upon hearing this, the woman's smile widened, and she said in a fawning tone.
"Your Highness, our brothel has clearly marked prices: 100 ingots of gold for the top-tier service, and 200 ingots of gold for two top-tier services. Would you like to pay now or later?"
"They dare to ask for a price, but they're both A-grade, so they're worth it."
Tianyao glanced at the woman, but didn't haggle. After speaking, she turned to look at the maid.
"Go get the money."
"As Your Highness commands."
Upon hearing this, the maid bowed and then went downstairs to collect the money.
A moment later, the maid was followed by two guards, who carried a large wooden box into the guest room.
"Bang!"
The wooden box was placed on the ground, making a loud noise.
The manager of the brothel's eyes lit up when he heard the sound.
As expected of a princess, she has so much money!
"Let's have a little."
Tianyao took a sip of tea and said in a casual tone.
What she is most proud of in this world is her wealth.
In this world, power is important, and so is money.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, so she made making money her top priority and worked hard at it.
Now, she dares to say that, apart from Tianheng and the Empress Dowager, there is a very high probability that no one in the Great Wei Kingdom is richer than her.
There were almost no corrupt officials in the Great Wei Kingdom because both the late emperor and Emperor Tianheng were extremely strict in cracking down on this issue. They conducted investigations every year, and anyone found guilty was punished by having their entire family wiped out. As a result, over time, officials dared not be corrupt.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are still a few individuals who are not afraid of death and will commit crimes against the wind.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately began to count the gold.
Although she felt that Her Highness the Princess would certainly not shortchange her.
But since Her Highness the princess has said that she should order it, why not? This is gold; if she loses even one ingot, she will feel the pinch for a year.
Tianyao didn't care about the behavior of the brothel manager.
Thinking to himself, since he still had to wait for Hua Manlou and Lan Luo to pack their luggage, this time was enough for the manager of Chunlou to finish counting the gold.
Moreover, if the manager of a brothel were in modern times, she would be a wage earner. If she was short even a single gold ingot, the owner of the brothel might deduct it from her wages, so she would have to be very careful about counting it.
After an incense stick had burned a while, Hua Manlou and Lan Luo finished packing their things. Each of them carried a cloth bag and walked to the door of the guest room, where they stood.
"come over."
Tianyao was daydreaming, her elbows resting on the table, her hands supporting her chin, when suddenly she saw Hua Manlou and Lanluo. A smile appeared on her face as she called out to them.
Hua Manlou gripped the cloth bag tightly, his heart pounding faster than ever.
He bit his lower lip and strode toward Tianyao.
He thought he was used to his own face being so beautiful, but just now he was stunned by the princess's casual smile.
When Lanluo saw Tianyao smiling at him, he blushed shyly, like an innocent child, and obediently carried his cloth bag to Tianyao's side.
Hua Manlou stood to Tianyao's left, and Lanluo stood to Tianyao's right.
"Do you see that gold over there?"
Tianyao withdrew her hand from the table, slightly raised her chin, glanced at Hua Manlou and Lan Luo respectively, and said.
"I saw it."
Lanluo answered obediently.
"That's our ransom, isn't it?"
Hua Manlou gazed at Tian Yao's perfect profile and asked.
"Yes, that's your ransom, 100 gold ingots per person, 200 gold ingots for two people."
Do you think you're worth 100 ingots of gold?
Tianyao smiled, reached out, and pulled Hua Manlou and Lanluo from her side to her in front of her, asking.
Lanluo: "..."
How do I reply? This is so difficult.
Hua Manlou: "I will make sure Your Highness doesn't lose money."
“A petty person? From now on, you should all refer to yourselves as ‘I,’ not ‘petty person,’ it doesn’t sound nice.”
"Tell me, how are you going to ensure I don't lose money?"
Tianyao looked at Hua Manlou with great interest and asked.
“I can do anything that Your Highness needs.”
Hua Manlou looked directly into Tian Yao's eyes and spoke with unwavering conviction.
"Me too."
Upon hearing this, Lanluo quickly added a comment as well.
"Hmm, sounds good. We'll see how you perform in the future."
"Shopkeeper, have you finished ordering?"
Tianyao stood up, walked to the woman's side, leaned down, tilted her head, looked at the woman, and asked with a faint smile.
"Haha, Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness. I'm done ordering."
The woman quickly stood up, smiling sheepishly, and returned.
"If that's the case, let's go."
Tianyao turned her head, glanced at Hua Manlou and Lanluo, then turned back and walked out first.
...
"Big news! Her Highness has bought a male concubine from a brothel! Can you guess who she bought?"
"Your Highness, you are of noble birth and would certainly not be interested in ordinary men. Therefore, it must be either Young Master Hua or Young Master Lan."
"Hahaha, wrong, wrong. Her Highness the Princess bought both."
"I heard it cost a full 200 ingots of gold."
"Holy crap, Her Highness is freaking rich!"
"I envy Young Master Hua and Young Master Lan. If I were better looking, maybe I could catch the eye of the princess too."
"Hahaha, keep dreaming, anything is possible in dreams."
