Seeing this, Gu Liangsheng added fuel to the fire, "Several days have already passed. If we continue to dawdle, I really won't be able to save you."
Upon hearing this, He Liufeng immediately turned around and walked towards the Misty Rain Pavilion.
"Wait a minute, we can't go in directly." Seeing that He Liufeng was willing, Gu Liangsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was also anxious. If He Liufeng couldn't win over the princess, he wouldn't have a chance to see the divine doctor. He was even more anxious than He Liufeng.
"Not going straight in? What do you mean?"
"Hey, if we just go in and sit in the room, how can we see how they coax the young girls? Of course we'd be thieves."
Gu Liangsheng grinned lewdly, pulled He Liufeng away from a corner, and then, when no one was paying attention, the two of them flew directly to the backyard of the brothel.
“We can just observe secretly.” Gu Liangsheng raised an eyebrow at He Liufeng triumphantly. “Alright, let’s go pick one now.”
He Liufeng didn't like this feeling, but since he was already here, he figured he might as well give it a try.
"Let's go straight to the second and third floors. The first floor is usually frequented by rather uncouth people who don't talk and just get straight to business."
He Liufeng followed Gu Liangsheng with some skepticism and went straight to the rooftop on the third floor.
Gu Liangsheng smiled confidently at He Liufeng, then lifted a tile, gesturing for He Liufeng to look down.
He Liufeng glanced at Gu Liangsheng, then looked down at him, and his face immediately darkened.
Seeing He Liufeng's expression change, Gu Liangsheng looked down into the room again. He didn't see any talking, but he heard a man's low growl and a woman's moan. Looking closer, he realized that the two people on the bed had already gotten to the point.
"Hehe, mistake, mistake, let's go to another place, let's go to another place." Gu Liangsheng laughed awkwardly and quickly put the tile back on.
This time, Gu Liangsheng hesitated for a long time before finally choosing a room. He lifted the tile and glanced inside. Then he sighed inwardly, thinking that he was very lucky this time. The room below was where lovers were having their love affair.
Gu Liangsheng waved to He Liufeng, indicating that there would be no problem this time.
He Liufeng reluctantly lowered his head and looked inside. He had already made up his mind that if he saw anything strange this time, he would leave immediately and never believe Gu Liangsheng's words again, no matter what bad ideas he came up with.
The room was decorated very elegantly, not at all like the rooms that women in brothels would have. There were only three people in the room.
Two people sat at the table in the middle. One was a handsome man in blue robes who looked quite young. He held a folding fan in his hand and kept waving it. His eyes were fixed on the woman playing the zither opposite him, and he looked relaxed and enjoying himself.
The other man was dressed in a dark blue robe and was also quite handsome, though slightly less so than the man in blue. However, the man in dark blue seemed a little awkward and curious compared to the man in blue, clearly indicating that he rarely visited such places of entertainment.
The woman was dressed in a green dress, with her hair styled in a beautiful bun, adorned with two jade hairpins and a jade hair ornament. Her skin was as smooth as cream, her face exquisitely beautiful, and she possessed a delicate yet strong spirit, like a plum blossom blooming proudly in winter. She was sitting opposite me, playing the zither.
As the song ended, Qingyan stood up and bowed to the two people in front of her.
"Miss Qingyan's musical skills are indeed superb; I admire them greatly." The man in blue closed his folding fan and bowed slightly to Qingyan.
Qingyan looked up at the man in blue and saw that his eyes held only appreciation and admiration, without a trace of disrespect or contempt. Qingyan's smile became even more genuine.
"Young master, you flatter me. I am but a novice and have only shown off my skills." Qingyan sat down next to the man in blue and poured him a cup of tea.
"Please have some tea, sir. Don't worry, there's nothing strange in this tea," Qingyan explained softly, afraid that the man in blue might misunderstand. After all, it was customary in brothels to add something to the food or drinks to keep customers entertained.
“I trust Miss Qingyan.” The man in blue smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip without hesitation. “It’s bitter at first, but then the aroma spreads and fills my mouth. It’s really good tea, just like Miss Qingyan. Even in this place, she can still maintain such a noble quality. It’s really rare.”
Qingyan was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and smiled, "Young master is really joking."
"It is my honor to please the beauty. Besides, I was just telling the truth." The man in blue poured Qingyan another cup of tea.
“Look at him, just like this. See, he didn’t do anything, but he’s got that girl all smitten. You should learn from him.” Gu Liangsheng whispered in He Liufeng’s ear.
Seeing the scene in the room below, He Liufeng couldn't help but admire him. This person really knew how to praise people. His expression gradually became serious. Although it was flowery talk, after some embellishment, it was indeed very tempting.
Qingyan simply smiled and didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with dazzling starlight.
The man in green reached out to the man in blue. The man in blue was taken aback at first, then quickly took out a delicate little box from his bundle.
The man in blue took the box, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qingyan.
"What does this mean, young master?" Qingyan asked the man in blue with curiosity.
"I saw it by chance and thought it suited Qingyan's aloof and refined temperament, so I bought it," the man in blue said slowly.
"Young master, I cannot accept this. I am merely a woman from a brothel, and I do not deserve such sincere treatment from you." Qingyan waved her hands repeatedly.
This young man in blue had come here more than once or twice, but he always just listened to her play the zither and drank tea with her. He never overstepped his bounds, was humble and polite, and gentle and refined. Qingyan felt that it was an insult to his status for him to sit here.
"Don't rush to reject it. Open it and take a look; you'll like it."
Under the encouraging gaze of the man in blue, Qingyan slowly opened the box. Inside, lined with red silk, was a blue jade bracelet. The bracelet was translucent and had a warm, bright color, clearly indicating its high value and rarity.
At first glance, Qingyan fell in love with the jade bracelet. It wasn't that she hadn't seen many fine things, but she had almost never seen a bracelet like this before. She thought that even the ladies in the palace might not have worn such a jade bracelet.
"Try wearing it. I think, besides you, probably no one else can be the owner of this bracelet," came the elegant voice of the man in blue.
Qingyan stared at the contents of the box, almost lost in thought. She really liked it, so she decided to try it on and take it off immediately. Just as Qingyan was about to reach out, she remembered that if she wore it, how could the young master give it to someone else? So she withdrew her outstretched hand.
“Young master, this bracelet is indeed very beautiful, but please put it away. Qingyan is not worthy of such a bracelet.” Qingyan shook her head at the man in blue.
"What are you talking about whether it's a good match or not? This was originally bought for you." The man in blue chuckled, then reached out and took out the jade bracelet, saying "Excuse me" again. He then reached out and took Qingyan's right hand, personally putting the bracelet on her wrist.
