The Ninth Prince's height has changed drastically in the past two years, and he is now taller than Qi Qi. He draped his strong thighs over Qi Qi's legs and then pulled them back, resting his head on Qi Qi's head and his arms on Qi Qi's body, like hugging a doll. It was a posture that showed a strong desire for control.
Damn it, Qi Qi felt he couldn't continue like this; this position was really weird! And the Ninth Prince was really starting to develop, making Qi Qi feel embarrassed every morning!
He smelled of calming incense, and his voice was tired: "What's wrong?"
Qi Qi muttered to himself, "Separate beds, separate beds, separate beds, separate beds..."
The Ninth Prince reached out and pinched Qi Qi's lips shut: "You're tired, go to sleep."
Qi Qi is about to cause trouble.
"Don't you want to go out and see the world? I'll take you somewhere fun tomorrow."
Qi Qi stopped fussing: "Then let's go to sleep~"
That night, Qi Qi had a dream in which he and the madman were passionately kissing and kissing, seemingly on the verge of death. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a golden cudgel smashed open the artificial hill, and the sky shone brightly. Outside, a group of palace maids and eunuchs glared angrily at Qi Qi and the madman.
"This servant must accuse Eunuch Qi of adultery and defilement of the inner palace—a crime deserving of death!"
Qi Qi: ………………
...
The next morning, after breakfast, the Ninth Prince openly brought Qi Qi and a guard out without disguising himself.
The carriage traveled for a while, changing carriages twice to conceal its tracks, and finally arrived at a building decorated with colorful ribbons, with the words "Dance and Joy Pavilion" written on it.
Qi Qi almost choked on his breath: "This...this...this...a brothel!!!!"
Good heavens! The palace truly is a melting pot; the Ninth Prince, this innocent little flower, has finally turned into a little yellow flower! He never seemed interested in matters of love and sex before; apparently, he couldn't let loose in the palace! Look at him, he's only been out for a short time, and he's already gone astray!
He's still a child!
The Ninth Prince noticed Qi Qi's shocked gaze and immediately saw what he was thinking. His expression turned complicated, and he snapped his folding fan shut, tapping Qi Qi on the head: "Shut up! What are you thinking about?"
Qi Qi asked with a complicated expression, "So what are you thinking about?"
Ninth Prince: "Heh, you know perfectly well what you think of me, Your Highness?"
Qi Qi's expression became even more complicated: "If you didn't know, you definitely wouldn't know what I'm thinking, but the fact that you know proves that you do..."
Ninth Prince: "...I'm not as despicable as you think! This is my first time here!"
Qi Qi: "Okay, I believe you..."
Ninth Prince: "..."
Qi Qi had heard of Wu Yue Lou before; it was quite famous, and the courtesan from a few days ago was still staying at the Summer Palace... The carriage didn't stop, but when it reached the gate, the driver cast a shadow inside, and then drove the carriage straight in, taking a detour to the backyard, where different carriages were already parked.
The Ninth Prince took out two silver masks and handed one to Qi Qi, presumably to make it easier for him to drink and roam. The mask only covered the upper half of his face, revealing just a bit of his nose and lips.
Qi Qi and the Ninth Prince got out of the carriage, and a woman dressed in pink came up to them and gave a graceful bow: "Are you two honored guests attending our Wuyue Pavilion's Flower Queen Festival for the first time? Would you like someone to show you the way? Please call me Qiao'er."
The Flower Queen Festival?
Qi Qi couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there already a top courtesan?"
Na Qiao'er immediately recognized that these were two young men, and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "Your Excellency may not know this, but the top courtesan of Wuyue Tower only performs dances within the tower. If she is hired by someone else or leaves the tower, she will no longer be the top courtesan, and a new one will be chosen."
……I see.
The Ninth Prince seemed impatient to stand at the door for too long. He fanned himself with his folding fan again and spoke again, his voice now deliberately hoarse: "Lead the way. This is the No. 3 room in the Heavenly Rank that we booked a few days ago."
Qiao'er's face immediately lit up with a smile, and with a flick of her alluring eyes, she led the way, saying, "Please come in, esteemed guest!"
Before Qi Qi could ask any questions, the Ninth Prince whispered in his ear, "These top-tier rooms are only for the wealthy and powerful. Remember to keep your mouth shut."
Qi Qi thought to himself, "Maybe they can guess it too? This is the legendary place known as the intelligence hub."
"I won't say anything out of line."
Ninth Prince: "You should call me Young Master."
Qi Qi said, "Young Master."
This place truly lives up to its reputation; the decor is superb. While it may not be as grand as the Summer Palace, it's not far off, and even more unique and exquisite. The "Tian" room is on the top floor, and the two of them entered "Tian San" (Number Three). All the doors they passed by were tightly closed. The building is a circular structure with a hollow center and a magnificent stage underneath.
Everywhere is decorated with hazy, colorful gauze, creating a dreamlike beauty, and there's a faint, decadent fragrance. One can imagine what this place looks like at night.
A woman's sweet or charming voice occasionally drifted from an unknown direction. As Qiao'er walked, she explained that the theme of Wuyue Tower this time was "Fairy in a Dream," hence the decorations inside.
This marketing strategy is really impressive.
After they sat down, Qiao'er mentioned that the competition wouldn't start until 8 p.m., and asked if they should call two girls to come and keep them company.
The Ninth Prince waved his hand: "No need."
She was given another ingot of gold, and Qiao'er went out happily.
Before Qi Qi could speak, the Ninth Prince added, "The minimum charge is one hundred taels per day. Any less, and you'll have to go to the Earth-class rooms, where the view is poor and you won't be able to hear any news."
Qi Qi: "I didn't ask..."
The Ninth Prince was taken aback: "Then why have you been so frugal these days? You even told the small kitchen to increase revenue and cut costs."
As a second-class eunuch, Qi Qi was not in charge of internal affairs or external matters, but he couldn't do nothing, so he took charge of the expenses of the Ninth Prince's small kitchen.
