If Pei Zhi was practicing calligraphy in the study simply because she had the idea of ending things with them.
Seeing Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai fighting, he made up his mind.
One was the emperor, and the other was a renowned general.
She can't afford to mess with either of these two people.
Since we have forgotten the past, Heaven's arrangement must be its own will.
Why would she repeat the same mistake?
Since she had already slept with Xiao Chengci back then.
I thoroughly examined Shang Huai's body yesterday, so I have no major regrets.
Why not go and meet new people instead of sticking to things you've already used?
The maid, pale-faced and trembling, replied, "I truly do not know the answers to these questions, young lady."
Pei Zhi had no intention of making things difficult for a maid.
There are places in the city where men seek pleasure, and presumably there are also places where women can listen to music and chat.
Pei Zhi observed that the northern part of the city did not seem to follow such a feudal style.
Pei Zhi walked towards the bustling area, and after walking intermittently for a while, she found the place she wanted to go.
"You can wait outside, I'll go in by myself."
The maid quickly stopped her, saying, "No, miss."
“If anything happens to you, we juniors will also have to pay with our lives.”
"Then you two maids can come in, so that there aren't too many people and you won't be kicked out."
The maids assigned to Pei Zhi's side were all skilled in martial arts.
The rest of the people stayed outside the shop.
As soon as Pei Zhi entered, she was greeted by the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked the newcomer up and down, his smile widening.
Judging from the fabric of her clothes and the accessories she wears, this young lady must come from a distinguished family.
Although he was a new face, there had been quite a few new faces in the city recently who came to watch the excitement.
"Does the young lady know any male prostitutes?"
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's introduction, Pei Zhi knew she had come to the right place.
Pei Zhi shook her head sincerely, "No, I'm new to your esteemed place, this is my first time here."
What kind of girl does she want?
The female shopkeeper patted her chest and said, "I'm not bragging."
"We have everything that the girl can name."
Pei Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, it needs to be clean."
The shopkeeper immediately said, "Young lady, you can rest assured."
“In our shop, we only sell our art, not our bodies, otherwise we would have been arrested by the authorities long ago.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi nodded slightly, "They need to be exceptionally good-looking. I have good taste."
The shopkeeper flattered her, saying, "With your looks, young lady, I wouldn't dare recommend anything that's not presentable."
"Well... good-looking people are relatively more expensive, after all, this place is all about looks."
Pei Zhi understood the shopkeeper's meaning and extended her hand to the maid.
The maid looked distressed; she dared not refuse to pay the money.
Pei Zhi took the silver note, didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to the shopkeeper.
"You can arrange it as you see fit. If you serve me well, there will be a reward."
The shopkeeper took the silver note, counted it—five hundred taels—and his eyes lit up.
"Young lady, please rest assured, everything will be arranged perfectly for you today."
The female shopkeeper beamed and said, "I guarantee that you will never forget this day, young lady."
Pei Zhi just wanted to have some fun, and hearing the female shopkeeper's confidence, she was somewhat looking forward to it.
"I hope the male prostitutes in your shop live up to your praise."
The female shopkeeper immediately arranged for a servant to take Pei Zhi to a private room, while she herself swayed her hips as she went to arrange for someone to help Pei Zhi.
The female shopkeeper could tell that this young lady was not short of money.
He gave her five hundred taels right off the bat. If he could make her happy, she would definitely be more generous.
The female shopkeeper clapped her hands and quickly had someone call out all the male prostitutes who hadn't yet come out to greet customers that day.
The female shopkeeper personally selected two people and had them brought to a private room.
The number of people doesn't matter, but the quality must be excellent.
The two men the female shopkeeper named were the most popular male prostitutes in the shop.
Tea and snacks had already been served in the private room.
After asking Pei Zhi if he didn't need any wine, the servant left.
Pei Zhi took a sip of tea. Although it couldn't compare to the tea served in Shang Huai's mansion, it was still palatable.
There was a soft knock on the door, and Pei Zhi called out "Come in!" Two men walked in.
One hand holds a zither, the other a knife.
One resembled a frail scholar, the other a soldier on the battlefield; Pei Zhi became somewhat interested.
"Would you like to hear the zither, or watch the sword dance, young lady?"
"Why don't we do it together? He can wield the sword, and you can play the music."
Neither of them objected. The frail scholar set up the zither, while the burly man beside him took off his outer robe.
Pei Zhi leaned back lazily in her chair, her eyes darting between the two people's appearances and figures.
The shopkeeper spoke with such conviction that he must have some merit.
These two people are truly good-looking.
Although he can't compare to those two people in the mansion, he's not far off.
Moreover, neither of these two people showed any obsequiousness, so they did not make anyone feel uncomfortable.
When the song ended, Pei Zhi waved to the two people.
The frail-looking scholar asked, "Where should we sit?"
Pei Zhi pointed to the two seats opposite her, "You two can sit there."
Pei Zhi did not let the two of them sit next to her.
"What else would you like to hear, young lady? I can play any of those."
Pei Zhi asked with some curiosity, "Your piano skills are quite good. Did you learn them here?"
“My father used to be a musician, but the family fell into poverty and my mother fell ill, so he had no choice but to make a living by performing.”
