Chapter 27 Chapter 27 A restless mind.
With all the rich young men in the room drunk and asleep, Xue Yuanyin and Zhang Jingxuan were finally able to explore the third floor properly.
The layout of the third floor is different from the two floors below, probably because it is prepared for distinguished guests. The third floor is not a monotonous private room, but has a lush and beautiful rooftop in the middle, with corridors spreading out in all directions, and private rooms of various sizes scattered among them.
In short, the corridor is not easy to walk on.
To be on the safe side, Xue Yuanyin didn't change back into her clothes. She disguised herself as a dancer and followed Zhang Jingxuan, going from one private room to another. She asked, "Has the county magistrate come to Yixiang Tower?"
"They've been here for about two cups of tea," Zhang Jingxuan said calmly. "I was playing the flute just now when I heard the county magistrate's footsteps. They came upstairs in groups of four or five."
"...I didn't notice." Xue Yuanyin felt a little guilty. She was so focused on licking his body that she didn't pay any attention to what was happening outside. She asked, "Did you hear where the county magistrate went?"
Zhang Jingxuan concentrated on thinking for a moment, pointed to the area around him, and said:
"About here, I don't know which private room it is."
Then you can only look for it room by room.
The two men began to search on the spot, but the private room was very soundproof and they could not tell which room contained the man and woman having sex and which room contained the county magistrate.
As they turned the corner, a familiar robe corner passed by. Zhang Jingxuan was walking in front and saw it faster. He suddenly pulled Xue Yuanyin back behind the corner wall and said in a deep voice:
"Hide, there's someone ahead."
Xue Yuanyin looked at him and asked, "Who?"
Zhang Jingxuan replied in a very low voice, almost mouthing, "Someone from the government."
The county magistrate had just come out of the private room to relieve himself. On his way back, he suddenly felt a chilly wind behind him. He looked back suspiciously, but saw no one. However, his constant caution in recent years made him feel something was wrong, so he said sternly:
“Who’s behind?!”
No one answered, as if the passing of someone just now was just the county magistrate's illusion.
The county magistrate frowned and walked back quickly. After a few breaths, he turned the corner and suddenly looked up - the corridor was empty. A few seconds later, a little maid came over with cakes and asked him in confusion if he had any instructions.
There was no one in sight.
The county magistrate pushed open the nearest private room and walked in to take a look. There was no one hiding there, as if the image of someone peeping from behind was just an illusion.
He felt a little relieved, walked out of the private room, and walked around in the corridor outside for a while. After confirming that no one was following him, he returned the same way.
…
In the wooden cabinet in the private room just now, two figures were hiding on the lower level.
This wooden cabinet is almost half a person's length, with several vertical cabinets placed together on top and a large horizontal cabinet on the bottom.
The vertical cabinet cannot accommodate anyone, but the horizontal cabinet below can barely fit two people in, one on top and one on the bottom.
Xue Yuanyin was lying in the wooden cabinet, pinned down by Zhang Jingxuan. She listened to the county magistrate's footsteps walking into the private room, not daring to breathe.
Due to the limited length, neither of them could straighten their legs, so she could only lift her legs and place them on Zhang Jingxuan.
Zhang Jingxuan was taller, so he couldn't stretch out on top. Although he tried his best to increase the distance between them and act like a gentleman, he was forced by the situation and could only bend his knees, as if he was riding her...
In short, it was an extremely indecent posture and an extremely indecent picture.
Xue Yuanyin held her breath and soon heard footsteps leaving the private room, but they did not go far away. Instead, they stopped and wandered in the corridor. It can be seen how cautious the county magistrate was.
At that time, the county magistrate almost discovered the two of them. In a hurry, he had nowhere to hide, so he had to hide in the only wooden cabinet that could hide a person.
Fortunately, the county magistrate only came in to take a look at the bed and walked out without opening the wooden cabinet.
However, the space in the wooden cabinet was really limited. Xue Yuanyin was squeezed in and did not dare to go out. While waiting quietly, the faint smell of alcohol on his body spread, and at the same time, she smelled a faint pine scent mixed in it.
She looked up at him, but he hadn't noticed her, listening to the noise outside. She sniffed carefully, somewhat curiously, and the faint pine scent was indeed coming from him.
Although it smelled good, he was pressing on her, which was really too close, and the gauze dress she was wearing was hard to describe, with almost all of her skin exposed. Every inch of air that touched her made her tremble.
The smell of wine and the light fragrance of pine wood mixed together and filled the wooden cabinet, making the space inside the cabinet seem particularly cramped and unbearable.
Xue Yuanyin tried her best to ignore the awkwardness of her posture and clothes, nudged Zhang Jingxuan, and said with difficulty:
"Could you please move a little to the side..."
Zhang Jingxuan lowered his eyes to look at her, touched the thin piece of cloth on her chest and quickly moved it away.
The gauze dress was too thin. Even if she had a flat figure, she would still be able to show some curves under it. Moreover, she practiced martial arts, so her figure was better than that of ordinary girls...
He stared at the wooden planks on the side and said calmly, "Look at how big this place is. Where can I move to?"
On his back was the wooden cabinet board, and Xue Yuanyin was not the only one who felt a little uncomfortable. This posture was really too indecent, and her clothes were not ordinary clothes. It was hard to say what she was doing.
If he hadn't been in a desperate situation and wanted to avoid the county magistrate, he would never have agreed to hide in here like this.
Xue Yuanyin moved her legs slightly, and the light gauze on her legs also moved to brush against Zhang Jingxuan's calves. He frowned slightly and scolded in a low voice:
"Don't move."
Xue Yuanyin was startled: "What's wrong?"
She listened carefully and found that the county magistrate was wandering in the corridor and did not enter the house.
Zhang Jingxuan paused for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid your kneecap will hit something it shouldn't."
Xue Yuanyin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.
she:"……"
She was extremely embarrassed, but due to the limited space, she couldn't stretch her legs out, so she could only bend them on both sides of his body, and said angrily:
"My legs aren't in the middle, how could I possibly touch you there?! It's not like you have an abnormal body structure that means you wrap your male characteristics around your waist!"
Zhang Jingxuan glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Can you touch my waist?"
Xue Yuanyin didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she moved her legs down.
Zhang Jingxuan said coldly: "You can touch my buttocks?"
Xue Yuanyin: “…”
She suddenly remembered the time he kicked her in the butt and sent her flying, and she became angry again:
"How dare you say that! Who was the one who kicked my butt before? You can kick my butt, but you can't touch yours?"
As she spoke, she became really angry and insisted on confronting him: "I must touch it!"
She squeezed her legs together, and the gauze dress slid down between her legs, revealing a section of her calf as white as porcelain. She wrapped herself around him regardless of anything, determined to make life difficult for him.
Zhang Jingxuan's forehead muscles jumped, and he frowned and said, "Loosen up a bit, how can you be so unreasonable?!"
Xue Yuanyin was rebellious and had a bad temper, like a stubborn donkey, saying, "I won't let go!"
Zhang Jingxuan's forehead muscles throbbed, and he frowned, giving in first: "Okay, you can put it anywhere, don't use so much force."
Xue Yuanyin was silent for a while, then heard some people wandering around outside and felt tired of lying down.
A little light seeped in through the cracks in the cabinets, allowing them to vaguely make out each other's faces. Zhang Jingxuan was already a striking figure, and in this semi-dark space, his features were even more profound, his contours as smooth as if carved by a knife, his handsomeness unique and striking.
They were too close, and she was almost disheveled. If they hadn't deliberately ignored each other, there would have been some seductiveness flowing between them.
She looked at Zhang Jingxuan who was looking down at her, and she felt eager to try. Suddenly, she tried to flip over, but the space was narrow. Just as she was about to flip over, she was controlled by him and pressed firmly under him.
Zhang Jingxuan saw her intention, grabbed her wrists, and said with a half-smile, "No."
Xue Yuanyin wrapped her legs around him tightly and negotiated with him:
"You want me to relax unless I'm on top and you're on the bottom."
Zhang Jingxuan refused without a second thought this time, even with a smile on his lips, and said gently and softly:
"No."
Xue Yuanyin became angry, but he couldn't shake his iron-like strength. He said:
"What's wrong with letting me try being on top?!"
Zhang Jingxuan said without hesitation: "Give up on this idea."
Xue Yuanyin was so angry at him that she almost died!
"You're too overbearing. It won't hurt if I try!" Xue Yuanyin recalled the last time she climbed over the wall at the county magistrate's house at night. She fell on him and was forced to flip over. She couldn't help but feel suspicious of him. "Do you have some kind of mental illness..."
Zhang Jingxuan suddenly hissed and frowned, "There's a sound."
Xue Yuanyin suddenly became quiet and listened carefully. The footsteps from the county town were still on the corridor, but there was a rustling sound coming from the private room next door, as if someone had woken up.
She was startled, her eyes changing color as she asked, "Is there someone in the private room next to us?"
Zhang Jingxuan didn't answer, but his silence represented his agreement.
This is awkward. The cabinet is placed against the wall, and on the other side of the wall is the step-out bed in the private room next door.
If there was any sound between them, they could vaguely hear each other.
Zhang Jingxuan moved his wrist. She was wearing too little, and the exposed skin was dazzlingly white in the dark cabinet. In order to prevent certain parts of his body from touching her, he forced himself to hold on, and his wrist felt a little numb.
Unfortunately, they could hear footsteps in the corridor not far away. Not only could they not get out, but they also had to be careful about being heard by the neighbors.
But perhaps the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. From the private room next door, a humming sound began to be heard, like the sound of a bed shaking. Then the voices of men and women mixed together, and soon they entered a state of ecstasy.
Xue Yuanyin didn't understand what was going on for a moment, and subconsciously asked Zhang Jingxuan: "Can you hear what's going on in the private room next door?"
Zhang Jingxuan looked at her deeply, as if trying to understand what was going on in her mind when she asked this question, and said concisely:
"Do I need to tell you what men and women in a brothel can do?"
Xue Yuanyin: “…”
She had forgotten that this was a brothel! What would happen between men and women? Do they still need to think about it?
She suddenly felt embarrassed, just as the two people in the next room became emotional, and they kept moaning and whining. The woman's voice was soft and sweet, almost charming.
She was forced to eavesdrop on Zhang Jingxuan's conversation. Her skin, exposed by her gauze dress, touched his soft brocade robe, and she felt a little warm all over.
They both fell into silence. Perhaps Zhang Jingxuan had never expected to face such a scene.
In silence, the air grew thicker for no reason, and the smell of alcohol and pine became more and more noticeable, almost covering Xue Yuanyin's entire body with the scent.
After a while, Zhang Jingxuan took the initiative to find a topic to divert their attention and said, "Your breathing was too loud just now. Let me teach you how to control your breathing."
Xue Yuanyin didn't want to continue listening to the sounds of the two people making love next door, so she thought about what he said. She was a little skeptical that he could control his breath better than herself, who practiced Qinggong, and asked doubtfully:
"Your internal strength shouldn't be so much deeper than mine. How can you teach me?"
Zhang Jingxuan demonstrated the mantra to her, and his own aura was truly as light as a feather, unpredictable, and even the blood flow in his meridians seemed to slow down.
In Xue Yuanyin's shocked eyes, he explained calmly:
"The internal energy I practice is somewhat special. It's said to be specifically designed to suppress the negative energy within the body. As the eldest son of the clan, one must be self-disciplined and cautious. Facing external disturbances, one must remain calm and free of distractions. Therefore, once I recite this formula, it becomes easier for me to remain indifferent to sadness and joy, and to control my seven emotions and six desires."
For the first time, Xue Yuanyin understood why Zhang Jingxuan was so self-possessed and calm. It turned out that he had a way to cheat. She asked in confusion, "Why does the Zhang family need you to learn these things?"
Zhang Jingxuan seemed lost in thought, and after a moment he replied, "Because an elder of the Zhang family examined me, he said I was overthinking and had too many desires. Those who dwell too much on thoughts and desires are unfit to be descendants of high-ranking families. The solution is to learn to recite the Calming Heart Technique, regulate your internal energy, and calm your mind and control your desires."
Xue Yuanyin was surprised and said, "You are such a person, and you still have such strong desires?"
Zhang Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "Desire doesn't just refer to the desires of men and women. Desires include the desire for power, money, greed, control, and so on. What the elders are saying is that I'm too obsessed with things and want too much, and I'm bound to end up losing more than I gain."
Xue Yuanyin said "oh" and looked at his face, but unfortunately the light was not good and she couldn't see what he was thinking under his stunning appearance.
She glanced down calmly, but it was too dark and he was wrapped so tightly that she couldn't see anything.
But being so close, she could feel the power hidden under his brocade robe. It was not easy for him to maintain this posture for so long without hardly touching her.
Zhang Jingxuan's waist was more supportive than she had imagined, and her legs were also very strong.
It's a very tempting body.
Xue Yuanyin asked suddenly, "So what were you thinking about just now that required you to start reciting the spell now?"
Zhang Jingxuan was flexing his wrists, but when he heard that, he paused and looked down at her. After a moment, he casually asked:
"I'm teaching you how to breathe, so I'm demonstrating it to you. But I want to know what you're doing, too."
He suddenly lowered his head slightly, and the tip of his smooth and tall nose was suddenly very close to her. She could almost feel the hot breath he exhaled.
She was momentarily distracted, thinking that the pine scent on him was indeed very pleasant...
Even...it smells so good that it makes people lose their minds.
Zhang Jingxuan suddenly whispered, "What were you looking at me for? What were you thinking about?"
Xue Yuanyin met his pair of light brown eyes in the darkness and did not answer.
What was she thinking about? What was she thinking about... She could probably say with certainty that she was thinking about -
She wants to sleep with him.
Yes, she wanted to sleep with him.
The footsteps outside had disappeared at some point, but the two people in the wooden cabinet still maintained their original posture, and no one spoke to expose the truth.
Xue Yuanyin suddenly pushed open the door of the wooden cabinet, and dazzling light shone in, clearly illuminating the current postures of the two people.
The gauze dress on her legs had long since slid down her calves and bent on both sides of his body, while Zhang Jingxuan's ochre-red brocade robe also looked a bit messy due to the cramped space. He leaned on top of her, and although the space was clearly narrow, he didn't really touch her.
A gentleman from an aristocratic family, he is truly worthy of his name.
Xue Yuanyin stared at the hem of his clothes, her gaze lingering for a few seconds. Even after Zhang Jingxuan turned over and stood up, smoothing out the wrinkles of his robe, she still couldn't figure out what was going on.
She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Zhang Jingxuan saw her unconcealed expression and suddenly felt a little amused. He said, "You don't seem to have seen what you wanted to see?"
Xue Yuanyin was too lazy to hide it anymore. She stood up slowly and asked, "After such an exciting experience, how come you don't have any reaction at all?"
Zhang Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What reaction do you mean?"
Xue Yuanyin blinked and said, "It's... that reaction. I heard that it's not something a man can control just by wanting to."
She asked too frankly, her black eyes were sincere and clear, and she looked like she was seeking knowledge, which made it difficult for Zhang Jingxuan to continue teasing her.
Zhang Jingxuan asked back, "Do you find it exciting now?"
Xue Yuanyin was a little surprised and acted as if she was listening attentively:
"So you really are the type of person who has experienced many things? You have a lot of experience, Master Zhang."
This is naturally impossible. The family rules of the high-ranking families in the capital are strict to the point of being harsh. Even the women who come of age to help them learn about things are strictly taught and screened. How could they allow the eldest son of the family to hang out in brothels and come into contact with other women?
Zhang Jingxuan said calmly, "You think this is a temptation to my male nature, but in fact, it is far from that. The Zhang family has been loyal to the imperial power for generations, and has surrendered to the emperor. Our standing is not without support. From the moment I entered the Eastern Palace and began my official career, I have been taught and trained by my elders not to abuse power without reason, not to be emotionally moved, and not to indulge in lust without reason."
After a pause, he continued, "If the eldest son of an aristocratic family is not steadfast and cannot control his lower body, he should voluntarily give up his position to his brothers and put down this fame and burden as soon as possible to avoid ruining the family's reputation. Otherwise, do you think it is so easy to be the son of an unshakable noble family?"
Xue Yuanyin said sincerely, "Your Zhang family rules are indeed too harsh. No wonder you have been able to maintain a good reputation for a hundred years."
She thought of the bet again. She was young and fearless at that time, and made the bet on the spur of the moment.
Now it seems that Zhang Jingxuan's words seemed to imply that she was bound to lose.
Xue Yuanyin looked at him and said, "So you came to this brothel and spent several taels of silver, but it was all for nothing? Don't you plan to have some fun while you're here?"
Zhang Jingxuan shook his head and said, "If I do that, my elders will hold me in the ancestral hall and break my legs when I return to Beijing. Besides, I'm not the type to touch any woman."
That's true, Xue Yuanyin knew very well about his pride and picky eating habits.
But, she did want to sleep with him.
What should I do?
Xue Yuanyin asked casually, "What if it were me?"
Zhang Jingxuan raised his eyes calmly, but the dark color in his eyes revealed some emotions that he was deeply hiding.
He said slowly: "You what?"
Xue Yuanyin suddenly walked over. He frowned, but didn't retreat, nor was he used to retreating. She stood very close to him, just a few inches away. She raised her arm, which was only covered by a thin sleeve, and gently pointed at him through the air with her fingertips, as if imitating a client ordering a prostitute. At the same time, she tilted her head and smiled:
"What if... I want you to react to me?"
