"Ying'er, let me take you for a walk in the city."
He still remembered Lu Fengjun's matter. He was willing to leave, and I would do whatever he wanted.
The snow has melted, and although it's still very cold, there are many people on the streets.
He first went to the art gallery, and then to some poetry societies and teahouses where literati gathered.
Especially at that teahouse where they sang folk songs, I heard that girl singing again, and I was so engrossed in listening that he angrily dragged me downstairs.
"Yuancheng, don't be angry, it's all my fault."
"You are not allowed to come here again."
"Yes, I won't come anymore."
He walked two blocks before his complexion returned to normal.
"Ying'er, let's go to Yingxian Tower."
I was shocked; I was dressed in women's clothing today.
"Yuan Cheng, am I dressed as a woman?"
Xie Yuancheng's face showed determination; he really wanted to revisit all the places Lu Fengjun and I had been.
"We still have several teahouses and restaurants we haven't been to yet, why don't we go tomorrow?" I was struggling with this idea. What kind of young lady goes to brothels? Although I had been there before, I was dressed as a man back then.
Xie Yuancheng grabbed my hand right there on the street: "Let's go now. You guys just go to those places to eat and drink tea without saying anything, but I absolutely have to go to Yingxianlou. It would be best if you wore women's clothing, so everyone will know what the Marquis's wife looks like."
He's going to announce this to the world! How can that be allowed? Not to mention this is the capital, right under the emperor's nose. These past few days, I've been accompanying him everywhere, dressed in women's clothing. If the Empress or anyone else who might harm him sees this, it could be detrimental to him.
“Yuancheng, this is not good for you, I’m worried.”
"Just worry about yourself and don't suddenly run off with some random man or woman."
He always pays attention to a lot of details. Oh well, I've already gone all out. I dared to act recklessly in the palace, so what am I afraid of now?
"I'll do whatever you say."
Yingxianlou is still the same as before, with singing and dancing as soon as you enter.
"Oh~ Marquis Anle has arrived, please take a seat." This madam actually knows him!
"My lord, who is this gentleman?"
“Mother Liu, this is my wife. She has been complaining about my frequenting of Yingxianlou Restaurant and has made a fuss about it at home several times. I brought her here this time, so you have to help me explain things to her.”
This guy is just making fun of me. I've never argued with him.
"Oh my, the lady is truly a beauty that surpasses all the girls here. No wonder the Marquis only listens to music in the tower and never goes inside because of her."
Hmph, you're smart enough to know your place, but what's a marquis like you doing visiting a brothel?
"Your Excellency's esteemed presence is an honor! I've come to join in the fun." The people around him chimed in, "He really is a regular here." I took his hand and urged him to look at the pretty girls.
Xie Yuancheng actually raised my hand: "Miss Bai, this is my wife, haven't you always wanted to meet her?" I was completely under his thumb, yet I still had to force a smile at the people next to me.
It seems the capital is about to get lively. Marquis Anle is visiting brothels, and he's even brought his wife along. No wonder he insisted I come dressed as a woman; I've been completely outmaneuvered.
Thinking about what he had said to Consort Ji, I decided to remain silent.
"Your Excellency is truly blessed to have such a wife by your side. No wonder you have always been surrounded by women yet never become entangled with any of them."
Bai is very beautiful, but I'm not bragging, Ji Ying is definitely much prettier in face alone, not to mention her tall and slender figure. She doesn't look feminine when dressed as a man, and she doesn't look like a boy at all when dressed as a woman.
