Chapter 52: Visiting a Brothel



On the street outside the palace, groups of horse-drawn carriages passed by.

The street vendors walking around the streets were talking about it.

"Why are all these adults coming out with such depressed looks today? I was counting on them to be in a good mood and buy something from me!"

"Who says it's not? But you think the morning court will end late, and I guess these adults are busy."

The prime minister in the carriage looked unhappy, and Zhao Ji pulled a minister of the Ministry of Revenue off his horse.

Now he wants to extend his hand to the Ministry of Personnel. The Prime Minister feels that Zhao Ji is deliberately targeting him.

But the emperor is very optimistic about Zhao Ji now and gives him all the power.

I'm afraid the emperor thinks that Zhao Ji is a eunuch and even if he has more power, he can only rely on the palace.

If this continues, the prime minister feels that something might happen to the Ministry of Personnel, which is an important department in charge of the appointment of officials.

If even the Ministry of Personnel can get into trouble, then it is not just the business of one person, the Minister of Revenue.

Over the years, the prime minister has bribed the Ministry of Personnel in order to place most of the people in the positions he wants.

Moreover, the emperor may not be aware of the Ministry of Personnel's rampant behavior in recent years, but the prime minister is very clear about it.

This is not something that can be handled by one person.

I'm afraid I'll have to pull out the radish with the dirt on it, and it won't look good when they're connected together.

The prime minister returned to his mansion and summoned his staff to discuss what to do about the matter.

The prime minister thought a plan proposed by a staff member was acceptable, and soon several people disappeared from the prime minister's mansion.

Zhao Ji is now in power, and it can be said that he is very proud of himself. Not to mention now in the palace, even outside the palace, there are many people who want to invite Zhao Ji to a restaurant under various pretexts.

And there’s someone even more stupid who actually wants to invite Zhao Ji to a brothel?

Zhao Ji didn't mind, but to the outside world, Zhao Ji was still a eunuch.

Inviting a eunuch to visit a brothel, I really don’t know what the person who invited him was thinking.

Maybe it was meant to be sarcastic?

When Zhao Ji received the invitation, he couldn't see through the thoughts of the person behind it?

"Interesting, since someone invited me, how could I not go?"

The most fundamental reason was that Zhao Ji wanted to see which force was the one that handed the invitation to him again and again.

Zuixianlou is the largest brothel in the whole of Kyoto. It is said that the girls here are all good at speaking, singing and dancing, and have excellent ** skills.

Many high-ranking officials are frequent visitors here. Even the top girl here is not like the one in other places, there is only one pitiful one.

The most famous people in Zuixianlou are the three top performers, who are no longer called top performers. They are Miss Hongyu, Madam Qingyun, and Lady Moyu.

Although the titles are different, they are all well-known top girls in this brothel.

When Zhao Ji arrived at the exclusive attic on the top floor of the brothel, he happened to see Miss Hongyu, with affectionate eyes and slender jade fingers, playing the pipa.

Madam Qingyun, who was sitting at the table next to her, pursed her lips slightly, and her pair of jade hands, holding jade pieces, gently placed them on the chessboard, as if she was setting up an endgame.

Another pretty girl in black was standing barefoot in the basin, looking like a girl from the south of the Yangtze River playing in the water, very pretty.

The three women had affectionate eyes and outstanding looks, and their every move and gesture were what men liked.

This was the scene Zhao Ji saw when he entered the house.

One can only say that the power behind this is so powerful that it has arranged the three most famous top stars of Zuixianlou at once.

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows with interest. Outside the palace, Zhao Ji couldn't wear the official uniform of the palace. The casual outfit matched Zhao Ji's handsome appearance.

I have to admit, he does have a bit of the feeling of a dandy young man from an aristocratic family going out for fun.

"What about the other person who invited me?"

Zhao Ji had already arrived half an hour later than the agreed time, but there was no other man in the room.

The Black Prison Lady was the most unstable, but also the easiest to flatter. Her voice was like a silver bell: "The other gentleman is not coming. He said that today he just needs us to serve you well, sir."

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?"

Zhao Ji had not expected this development. Now Zhao Ji was a little unclear about the intentions of the person behind the scenes. If someone wanted to murder a eunuch, no one would have thought of letting the eunuch visit a brothel.

Because in the eyes of the world, eunuchs probably don't have the strength or ability to be the ones who visit brothels.

And he called all three top players over at once.

This is really a big mobilization.

Miss Hongyu gently plucked the strings of the pipa and spoke in a very sad voice: "My Lord only sees those lawsuits and doesn't see the young ladies. The court has already been dismissed. Why don't you have some fun with the young ladies and stop thinking about those troubles."

Clear and melodious music came from Hongyu.

The oldest Madam Qingyun, Susu, spoke up: "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold coins, do you really not cherish it, my Lord?"

With the beauty by his side, Zhao Ji could sense something was wrong from her words: "Didn't the master who asked you to come and serve tell you who I am?"

Mo Yu kicked his feet in the basin, and the silver bell tied to his ankle swayed. The lively sound of the silver bell came: "Of course, that lord didn't say it, but we all know that a lord as dignified as you must have a high official position."

"We all know the rules of the court. Besides, we don't know what you do specifically. We are just a casual couple, and we just talked about love for one night."

Zhao Ji walked around the room, seemingly sizing up the three girls, but actually he was just checking if there was anyone hiding in the dark.

However, the strange thing was that there was really no one hiding, not even on the eaves, and even the people serving tea and water outside seemed to have been called away.

This place seems like a secret place.

Madam Qingyun was the most thoughtful. Seeing Zhao Ji responding casually while looking around, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. There is an unwritten rule in Zuixianlou that if the three of us receive guests, there must be no one around. Besides, no sir would want to spread the news that they have a dispute with us."

"So don't worry, sir. There's no one around here who can hear the noise."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "In that case, I wonder what talents the three girls have that can make Zhao feel that this spring night is worth a thousand gold!"

Hongyu carefully guessed what Zhao Ji meant, reached out and put the pipa aside, walked slowly to Zhao Ji's side, and sat down softly.

Zhao Ji's legs were compared to the strings of a pipa, which were gently plucked.

She leaned close to Zhao Ji's ear and said, "I don't know if you like to drink Huadiao wine. Mom has hidden a few bottles. Hongyu can steal them for you."

Zhao Ji checked the environment and found nothing unusual, so he gradually felt relieved.

Instead, he could carefully appreciate the beauty of the courtesan.
