Before Qingyan could refuse, she saw a pair of slender, fair hands with distinct knuckles putting a bracelet on her.
"Her fair wrist is like frost and snow. I was right. This bracelet, apart from Miss Qingyan, probably wouldn't be able to bring out its full value if anyone else wore it."
"Young Master." Qingyan's eyes were full of affection. She didn't look at the bracelet on her wrist, but stared at the man in blue and called out softly.
Gu Liangsheng was almost captivated by that voice; Qingyan was truly too tender.
"Look at him, how clever he is. He just took a jade bracelet and easily won over Qingyan's heart. Tsk tsk, this man in blue really knows how to manipulate people. In my opinion, either this man in blue is very skilled, or he really likes Qingyan and has offered up all his sincerity."
Gu Liangsheng shook his head repeatedly. He prided himself on having been with countless women, but none could compare to the man before him.
The man in blue standing next to the man in green looked at the man in green in disbelief, then at the girl Qingyan beside him, and thought to himself, "The princess is too clever. She actually managed to get a courtesan to give her heart away. I admire her to the core."
You must know that women in these brothels are extremely wary. They've seen so many different kinds of men that it's almost impossible for them to have genuine feelings. The princess only came three times and managed to win over the heart of the top courtesan at the Misty Rain Pavilion. She's truly amazing.
Yes, the man in green in the room is Qu Qingxi in disguise, and the man in blue is Qingdai in disguise.
It's no wonder He Liufeng and Gu Liangsheng didn't notice them. Every time they went out, as long as they were dressed as men, Qu Qingxi would personally disguise them and put height-increasing insoles in their boots to prevent them from being recognized and causing trouble.
Qu Qingxi used medication to change her original voice, so even when she spoke, no one could tell anything was wrong. However, Qingdai did not take any medication, so she hardly spoke at all. To this day, Qingyan still thinks Qingdai is mute.
"Miss Qingyan, don't underestimate yourself. Others' opinions are just that—others' views. If you live your life based on what others think, it's unfair to yourself. Life is short. As long as you're happy, what does it matter what others think of you?"
"Yes, young master, it was Qingyan who belittled herself." Qingyan lowered her head slightly and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"It's already very late, Miss Qingyan, you should rest early. I'll take my leave now." Qu Qingxi stood up. It wasn't that she didn't want to stay a little longer, but judging from Qingyan's appearance, if she didn't leave now, she probably wouldn't be able to leave at all.
"Young master, are you... are you not staying tonight?" Qingyan also stood up. Seeing Qu Qingxi about to leave, her face flushed slightly, her eyes were blurry with tears, and she looked so pitiful that she wanted to be held in someone's arms and comforted.
"Don't cry, Qingyan." Qu Qingxi handed her handkerchief to Qingyan and comforted her softly.
"But, young master, I don't want anything. I just want to repay your kindness in recognizing my talent." Qingyan looked at Qu Qingxi with teary eyes, then lowered her head shyly after speaking.
"Miss Qingyan, you should rest well. Crying too much is not good for your health. I'll come to see you again next time." Qu Qingxi saw Qingyan crying with tears streaming down her face, blinked, and didn't know what to say, so she could only say dryly.
After saying that, he left with Qingdai.
They were completely unaware that the people on the roof were watching their every move.
After watching the spectacle, Gu Liangsheng clicked his tongue twice, then turned to look at He Liufeng, about to ask if he had learned anything, when he unexpectedly found that He Liufeng's face had suddenly turned ashen.
Gu Liangsheng restored the tile to its original state and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
He Liufeng was studying diligently, but as the two men left, he suddenly noticed a very familiar scar on the blue-clad man's wrist.
The shape and length of the scar were exactly the same as the scar on Qingdai's wrist. The reason why He Liufeng remembered it so clearly was because Qingdai was injured while saving him and almost lost her life.
If the man in blue is Qingdai, then the other man in blue is Qu Qingxi? His princess?
So, all that time he spent learning was actually from his queen how to manipulate women?
He Liufeng almost vomited blood.
No, he had to be sure. Maybe it wasn't him. After all, the person's appearance and voice didn't resemble Qu Qingxi at all. He Liufeng held onto a sliver of hope.
Thinking of this, He Liufeng used his lightness skill to fly downwards. Gu Liangsheng saw that He Liufeng was acting strangely all of a sudden and wondered what was wrong with him, so he quickly followed.
Qu Qingxi and Qingdai were unaware that they had been discovered. They leisurely went downstairs and walked outside.
Just as she stepped out of the flower street, Qu Qingxi suddenly sensed a presence approaching her.
Just as Qu Qingxi was about to make a move, she suddenly realized that the person who came was He Liufeng.
He Liufeng stopped in front of Qu Qingxi, staring intently at her, seemingly trying to find something on her face, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
In pursuit of realism, Qu Qingxi even added fake Adam's apples to himself and Qingdai. Even if an ordinary person looked closely, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference and would just think they were two men.
When Qu Qingxi saw He Liufeng suddenly appear in front of her, she was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered. She was very confident in her disguise skills. She had attached her Adam's apple and increased her height, so He Liufeng should not have noticed anything.
Gu Liangsheng caught up, panting. He was also puzzled to see that He Liufeng had stopped the two men who had been talking to Qingyan. Could it be that He Liufeng liked Qingyan? Was he thinking of teaching these two men a lesson because he saw them fawning over her?
But didn't he love his queen?
Qingdai lacked Qu Qingxi's composure. Upon seeing He Liufeng appear before her, she was so frightened that she lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze.
Seeing that Qu Qingxi was looking at him calmly without any panic, He Liufeng began to wonder if he had seen wrong and that the people in front of him were not Qu Qingxi and Qingdai.
He Liufeng then looked at Qingdai, only to see her with her head down, looking guilty.
"Qingdai!" He Liufeng called out to Qingdai with narrowed eyes, and sure enough, he saw Qingdai's body tremble slightly, but she still kept her head down.
Seeing this, He Liufeng immediately understood that the people in front of him were Qu Qingxi and Qingdai.
"Qingdai?" Gu Liangsheng stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him. This person in blue was Qingdai? And the man in blue was the princess?
Gu Liangsheng's jaw dropped to the ground. What? So all they'd been learning for was how to manipulate women, just from a woman?
