Yi Mu asked him where he got the injury on his face.
Hu Tianqin thought the matter was not very honorable, so he did not tell Yi Mu the details, only saying that he accidentally bumped his face while forging iron.
Yi Mu didn't ask any further questions; a very important person was coming to Qiongyue Pavilion tonight.
According to Wan Niang, that person is the Crown Prince of the current dynasty.
The current emperor has been bedridden for two years and does not attend court every day. All matters, large and small, in the court are handled by the crown prince alone, who can be said to have absolute power.
Although he has not yet ascended to that position, everyone in the court, including ordinary people, has already tacitly accepted him as the ruler of the land.
When the future emperor arrives, Wan Niang will have to serve him with utmost care.
Three days ago, they started preparing to clean the inside and outside of Qiongyue Pavilion, replacing all the light gauze curtains with new ones, and painting the carvings on the pillars with gold paint.
A ten-zhang-long red carpet was prepared and laid out on the street, just in case the prince's precious feet got even a speck of mud on them.
After finishing his meal, Yi Mu rushed off to the brothel to work overtime.
Wan Niang said that everyone in the pavilion should be on their guard these days. If they can please His Highness the Crown Prince, they will receive a large reward.
On the contrary, you could lose your head.
For this reason, Wan Niang even borrowed tutors from other establishments to provide special training for the young ladies and gentlemen in the pavilion.
In this process, the Yimu plays a supporting role in teaching.
As evening falls and the city lights come on, the vibrant night market life begins.
Yi Mu changed into clothes that Wan Niang had specially ordered for him: a silver-white robe with golden laurel flowers embroidered on the lapel, and a light blue gauze dress over it.
In addition, there was a hair tie made of red feather silk thread, with several agate jade pieces hanging from it, which was used to comb all of Yi Mu's hair up and tie it behind his head.
Such fancy clothes and headdresses are not something an Iberian Shepherd would wear on a normal day.
But Wan Niang had it made at a high price, so if he didn't wear it, he would be ungrateful.
Sitting in the music room, Yi Mu used his fingers to test the tension of the strings and get a feel for them.
The quiet building gradually became lively, as guests arrived, but His Highness the Crown Prince should not have come yet.
Yi Mu estimated that it was about time, so he carried his violin downstairs.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wan Niang coming up from downstairs with an angry expression, walking hurriedly forward, followed by several ghost servants.
Yi Mu grabbed a ghost servant and asked what was going on.
The ghost servant looked around and said urgently in a low voice, "Something's happened! That girl from Chun Yuan couldn't think straight and cut her wrists. She's really not as lucky as Lin Daiyu, but she's got such a high opinion of herself. Sigh! She's always causing trouble."
He was referring to Chun, that sentimental girl.
She probably heard that the Sixth Prince was going to take a concubine soon, so she couldn't think straight.
Before entering the Jade Moon Pavilion in spring, he was not a child from a poor family.
She was originally a young lady from a wealthy family, a proper heiress, but later, because her father became involved with a court official, she was labeled a rebel.
The family fell into poverty in a short time, and many of the women in the family were sent to brothels.
Chun was still young at that time. She was bought by Wan Niang and trained to be her top courtesan.
Compared to Xia, who was poached from another company, Wan Niang devoted most of her energy to Chun, treating her like a goddaughter.
Chun is still a virgin.
The Sixth Prince is the son of the current emperor. With Chun's status, she is not even allowed to enter the Prince's mansion, let alone become a concubine.
If she were honest and upright, and found a moderately wealthy family to be her legal wife, she could at least live a comfortable and peaceful life, if not a life of luxury and wealth.
Ke Chun, for the sake of a man who was destined not to belong to her, shamelessly attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. Wan Niang must have been extremely angry at her lack of self-control.
Yi Mu couldn't quite understand this feeling, so after listening, he went downstairs.
