The Wanhualou (Mankalou) is a gathering place for all the handsome men of the night in Kyoto, and it houses all sorts of men.
Gentle, feisty, delicate-looking young boys... there are all kinds of handsome men to choose from, and as long as you can afford it, you can enjoy yourself to the fullest in the brothel.
In a country where women are respected, male prostitutes in brothels have the lowest social status.
In the entire brothel, only the aloof and elegant Qingzhi Gongzi was the most popular, attracting the attention of young ladies from prominent families and boosting the entire brothel industry.
Fu Sang hesitated before getting out of the car, glancing at the beautiful woman beside him.
"...Don't go."
The Empress also had someone she loved, that renowned holy monk.
Moreover, if word got out that I visited a brothel, especially if it got out to my little darling, I felt like I'd be in deep trouble.
Chong Ai put her arm around her, reached out her jade-like hand to lift the carriage curtain, and looked at the brightly lit Wan Hua Lou.
"We'll just go in and have a few drinks, and take a look at some handsome men. What's wrong with that?"
Xuanji Kingdom does have brothels, but she has never been to one.
Having finally arrived in Shuiyun Kingdom, where there's no one to supervise or manage things, we should naturally take this opportunity to explore the area thoroughly.
Why should only men be allowed to visit brothels?
This is a matriarchal society, where it is perfectly natural for women to visit brothels; they simply go in to look at handsome men.
Fu Sang was persuaded by Chong Ai.
She had never been to a brothel before, let alone a place full of handsome men, so she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Chong Ai pulled her out of the car.
Fu Sang looked at the female official beside him and said, "You don't need to come along."
The female official hesitated, then looked at the two empresses before swaggering into the brothel.
Wan Hua Lou is the largest brothel in the entire Shuiyun Kingdom, with gorgeous decorations and a variety of handsome men inside.
Just as Fu Sang and Chong Ai entered, an elegantly dressed man approached.
"Do you two distinguished guests have reserved seats?"
These two young ladies were dressed in extraordinary attire, clearly indicating that they were either wealthy or of high social standing.
Before Fu Sang could answer, Chong Ai smiled and asked, "Do you have a private room?"
The woman's tone suggested that this wasn't her first time there.
The pimp immediately replied, "There are private rooms on the second floor."
He looked at the handsome young man waiting to the side and instructed, "Quickly take these two distinguished guests to a private room and serve them carefully."
"Miss, please." The handsome young man bowed and led the way.
Chong Ai pulled Fu Sang upstairs together.
The handsome men in the brothel were all very well-trained; even their deliberate flattery was not offensive, but rather made people think they were being coquettish.
Fu Sang glanced at the woman and the minor officials, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Women are no less restrained than men when it comes to playing around with men.
The private rooms on the second floor are elegantly and grandly decorated, with tables and chairs made of fine pear wood, adorned with unique flowers, and filled with a faint fragrance.
Two handsome young men poured tea for them.
"Miss, is this your first time here?"
Fu Sang sipped his tea slowly, without answering immediately.
Chong Ai tapped her slender fingers lightly on the table and asked, "Who are the most famous young masters of your Wan Hua Lou?"
The boys exchanged a glance.
"The most famous young master at Wan Hua Lou is naturally Qing Zhi, but he never entertains customers."
Chong Ai had already heard of Qingzhi Gongzi's name at the banquet where the envoy was received, which piqued her interest slightly. She said, "You won't see anyone?"
The young man looked apologetic and said, "This is the rule of Wan Hua Lou. Unless Young Master Qingzhi is willing to meet Miss, he will not appear even if Her Majesty the Empress comes."
Chong Ai raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Sang with a smile.
"Young Master Qingzhi is quite aloof."
