Chapter 106: Your Majesty, can you please leave first?
Qingluan gently stood up, waved her delicate hand, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Sisters, the benefactor wants to listen to the music, show us all your best."
The private room suddenly became bustling with activity.
On one side, several girls in colorful clothes were either plucking the strings of a musical instrument or humming softly. The melody was like a clear mountain spring, gurgling and flowing, cleansing people's hearts.
On the other side, several girls dressed in gauze, with light figures, danced gracefully to the music, like butterflies among flowers, fluttering up and down, so beautiful.
Qingluan was standing by, sometimes feeding Lan Xiyue the crystal clear fruits on the plate, and sometimes feeding her wine.
Qian Duoduo was hugging people on both sides at this moment, "Oh, why didn't my father give birth to me as a boy..."
After he finished speaking, everyone smiled and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Just as everyone was immersed in laughter and joy, Lan Xiyue suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards the guqin beside her.
Seeing this, Miss Lu'er quickly stood up and gave her seat. Lan Xiyue sat next to the guqin and lightly touched the strings with her fingers.
"I'll also perform a song." She said softly, and then, with her fingertips, the song "Love Song of the West Sea" slowly sounded.
The sound of the piano is sometimes low and gentle, like crying and complaining; sometimes high and passionate, heart-wrenching.
The melody seems to contain endless longing and sorrow, and seems to tell a love story that spans thousands of mountains and rivers.
For a moment, the private room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lan Xiyue. The sound of the piano was like magic, captivating everyone's heart.
The girls' singing and dancing gradually stopped, leaving only the melodious piano music echoing in the room.
When the song ends, the lingering sound lingers in the air for a long time.
Everyone was immersed in that deep emotion and couldn't extricate themselves.
Qian Duoduo suddenly came back to his senses and clapped his hands, saying, "It sounds good, it sounds good, Yueyue is great!"
Qingluan walked lightly to Lan Xiyue's side and asked softly, "This song is really beautiful. I have never heard it before. But was it composed by my benefactor?"
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly and shook her head. "It wasn't me. It was created by an artist of our time."
When Qingluan heard this, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She didn't understand what Lan Xiyue said at all.
Lan Xiyue patted Qingluan's shoulder and said, "It's just right that I'm here today. If there are any girls in the building who are feeling unwell, call them over and I'll take a look at them."
After a while, the girls who were still dreaming were awakened one by one by Mei Niang. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and lined up to walk into the private room.
Lan Xiyue took their pulses one by one, gave them acupuncture, or prescribed medicine with skillful movements.
Qian Duoduo watched from the side, got drunk and fell asleep.
After Lan Xiyue finished treating the last girl, she was completely awake.
It was already late at night, and Lichunyuan was bustling with activity. Many guests had already arrived downstairs.
Lan Xiyue woke up Qian Duoduo, who was standing beside her. Qian Duoduo opened his eyes drowsily and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lan Xiyue smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go."
The eunuch took them out of the back door of Lichunyuan, and the front door was already crowded and bustling.
Since they were wearing women's clothes, they naturally couldn't parade through the front door.
Walking out of Lichunyuan, the night breeze blows on your face, bringing a hint of coolness.
Lan Xiyue sent Qian Duoduo back to the gate of the Qian Mansion. Qian Duoduo looked at her reluctantly and said, "Yueyue, I'm so happy today. Can I come to play with you some other day?"
Lan Xiyue nodded and said, "Of course, it's getting late, I'm going back."
After saying that, Lan Xiyue took Chu Xia away, and their figures gradually blended into the night.
Qian Duoduo looked at her receding figure, then turned and entered the Qian Mansion's gate.
Xilingyuan
As soon as Chuchun saw the young lady, she couldn't wait to greet her: "Young lady, you are back!"
Just as she finished speaking, her nose caught a whiff of something unusual. "Huh? Miss, why do you smell so much like alcohol and rouge? Where have you been?"
Lan Xiyue didn't answer, walked in, and lay lazily on the small couch.
At this time, Chuxia quietly pulled Chuchun over, walked aside, and whispered a few words to her.
Upon hearing this, Chuchun's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief: "What? Lichunyuan?"
Chu Xia quickly covered her mouth, looking nervous: "Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let others hear it."
Chuchun pried Chuxia's hand away, her eyes full of reproach: "Why didn't you stop the young lady? How could the young lady go to a place like that?"
Chu Xia curled her lips, looking helpless: "I also want to stop her, but you know the lady's temper, how can I stop her?"
Lan Xiyue coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between the two: "Why don't you go get me some water? I feel unwell all over and need a shower."
Chuchun looked back at Lan Xiyue, her eyes full of helplessness. "Miss, wait a minute, there's hot water in the pot. I'll go get some."
As she said that, she pulled Chu Xia to the kitchen.
After a while, the two came back with steaming hot water and poured it into the bathtub.
Chuchun adjusted the water temperature, walked into the house, and reported softly: "Miss, it's ready, you can take a bath."
Lan Xiyue slowly stood up, walked to the bathroom door, and waved away Chuchun and Chuxia.
After the two left, she gently took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub filled with flower petals and fragrance.
The warm water wrapped around her tired body and she sighed comfortably.
In the bathroom, the air was filled with steam, and Lan Xiyue closed her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, Lan Xiyue's eyes snapped open, her gaze fixed on the figure opposite her. A wave of shock surged in her heart: "What? Is this guy okay? When did he appear here without a sound?"
Mo Liyuan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his eyes as deep as a cold pool, staring quietly at Lan Xiyue in the bathtub.
That look was complex and difficult to understand, as if it had thousands of words to say but couldn't.
Lan Xiyue felt his burning gaze and couldn't help but sink deeper into the bathtub. The water rippled and became hazy.
"Well, Your Majesty, you've come at a really bad time." Lan Xiyue forced herself to remain calm, trying to hide her inner panic with words. "How about you step out for a while?"
Mo Liyuan remained unmoved. With steady steps, he approached the tub, step by step, until he was only a foot away from Lan Xiyue. His deep voice echoed in the quiet night, "Did you go to the brothel again today?"
Lan Xiyue looked up and met his deep eyes, her heart trembling inexplicably.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
Then, as if realizing that he was acting too cowardly, he raised his chin again and said with a forced attitude, "My going to the brothel doesn't seem to be any of the prince's business, right? Did the prince send someone to follow me?"
"No more going to brothels!"
"Why?"
Mo Liyuan said coldly, "If I say you are not allowed to go, then you are not allowed to go."
Lan Xiyue complained in her heart: What kind of person is this? Forget it, I'll just trick him away first. She feels very insecure now!
Lan Xiyue waved her hand. "Yes, yes, I will listen to your Highness. Okay, Your Highness, can you please leave now?"
Mo Liyuan looked at her deeply, turned around and jumped out of the window.
Lan Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really confusing. She quickly got up, wiped the water off her body, picked up the clothes beside her and put them on.
