Ye Xingchen didn't know how long she slept until her stomach growled and she woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure in front of her with his back to her.
His hair was as black as ink, his back was tall, and the blue Tianluo Yunjin robe made his figure look even more slender.
He stood in front of him, as if blocking the whole world. In Ye Xingchen's eyes, he was the only one left.
[Oh my god, the Regent is so handsome even from behind. ]
[What a perfect man, he is good-looking in every way. 】
[That's not right, why is he standing in front of me? ]
Cang Boyi heard Ye Xingchen's inner voice behind him and knew that she had woken up. He turned his head and said, "The sun was too strong just now. I was afraid that you would get too hot, so I blocked it for you. "
Ye Xingchen was extremely moved. He looked calm on the outside, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.
[The Regent actually helped me block the sun. This is so gentle and considerate. 】
【What a wonderful man. 】
[I have to work hard to bring the Regent back home as soon as possible. ]
"Thank you, Regent."
"You're welcome. You must be hungry. Let's go eat." Cang Boyi said.
"Okay." Ye Xingchen was about to stand up, but she found that one of her legs was numb. She didn't stand firmly and was about to fall to the ground.
Cang Boyi quickly grabbed her and pulled her hard, and put his other hand around Ye Xingchen's waist: "Be careful."
Ye Xingchen was extremely embarrassed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, my legs are numb from sleeping too long."
"Sit down and rest first." Cang Boyi helped Ye Xingchen sit back on the chaise longue.
"Okay." Ye Xingchen immediately rubbed his legs.
Cang Boyi squatted down, but his outstretched hand stopped before it touched Ye Xingchen's leg: "There are differences between men and women. I didn't consider it enough."
"Your Highness, do you still care about these things?" Ye Xingchen asked back.
"I don't care, I'm just afraid of ruining your reputation." Cang Boyi replied.
Ye Xingchen was very satisfied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for considering me. I'm fine now. Let's go."
"good."
The two men went to the hall, and Su Ruoan immediately asked the servants to serve the dishes. Soon, a large table full of sumptuous dishes was placed on the table.
"What a sumptuous meal! No wonder Yunlou is known as the number one restaurant in Cangyue Country. The dishes look delicious. I won't be polite to Your Highness." Ye Xingchen sat down directly.
"Try it." Cang Boyi sat next to her and picked up the chopsticks to help her pick up the food.
Ye Xingchen took a bite and said, "It tastes good."
"Then eat more. If you like it, you can come often in the future."
If she came more often, I could see her more often.
"Okay, I hope Your Highness doesn't find me annoying when the time comes." Ye Xingchen replied with a smile.
"No." There was a hint of tenderness in Cang Boyi's brows.
I couldn't ask for more.
"Your Highness, your plum wine tastes very good. Where did you buy it?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I brewed it myself." Cang Boyi replied.
"Oh, Your Majesty can also make wine?" Ye Xingchen was very surprised.
"I have nothing to do, so I brew some wine to pass the time. Nandu just happened to send over a few baskets of fresh plums. If you want to learn, I can teach you." Cang Boyi suggested.
"That's great. As long as I learn how to make it, I can brew it myself whenever I want to drink it." Ye Xingchen agreed.
After the two of them had their meal, Cang Boyi asked someone to bring some plums over. He personally taught Ye Xingchen how to wash the plums, dry them in the sun, and then found a large jar.
"You add the sugar and I'll add the plums." Cang Boyi suggested.
"good."
So Ye Xingchen put a layer of sugar under the jar, and then Cang Boyi put a layer of plums, and Ye Xingchen put sugar again, and repeated this process.
The plum wine was ready and it was already dark.
"This plum wine needs to ferment and can be drunk in about a month. Let's drink this jar of wine together one month from now," Cang Boyi suggested.
"Okay, this is a one-month agreement between you and me." Ye Xingchen agreed.
The two people smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
At midnight, Zhan Bai used Qinggong to take Ye Xingchen away from the Regent's Palace, and finally dropped her off at the back door of Prince Mo's Palace.
"Thank you for sending me back." Ye Xingchen said.
"Princess Mo, you are too polite. I am following the orders of my prince. Since you are here, I will go back." Zhan Bai turned and left, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
Ye Xingchen walked towards the back door, and thought that he had sneaked out. If he was seen by the servant when he went through the back door and told King Mo, that bastard Cang Tingchen would definitely come to cause trouble again, so Ye Xingchen thought about it and took out the transfer talisman.
Before she could use it, a dark figure rushed out: "Ye Xingchen, why are you back so late? I've been waiting for you for most of the night."
Ye Xingchen looked closely and said, "Yan Tianming, why are you here?"
"I'm afraid that something will happen to you. Although you followed the Regent, if Prince Mo finds out that you deliberately raised the price with him, he will definitely not let you go. I went to the Regent's Mansion to wait, but was warned by the secret guards. I didn't dare to stay there, so I had to stay at Prince Mo's Mansion." Yan Tianming explained in a low voice.
Ye Xingchen was very surprised: "Are you worried about me?"
Yan Tianming curled his lips and said, "I just don't want my savior to die. Although my parents gave you 100,000 taels, that is not what I paid back."
Ye Xingchen didn't expect Yan Tianming to be a grateful person. A bright look flashed across his phoenix eyes: "Since you are the number one playboy in Cangyue Country, you must be proficient in eating, drinking and having fun. Where is the most expensive den of gold in the capital?"
Yan Tianming was immediately proud: "You've asked the right person. The most fun place in Beijing is naturally Fengyue Tower, where there is everything from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Especially the courtesan Xue'er, whose neon dance has charmed many dignitaries in Beijing. With her stunning appearance, superb piano skills and unparalleled talent, she is the living signboard of Fengyue Tower.
If you want to be her lover, you need to pay 50,000 taels. And she is famous for selling her art but not her body, so many people are discouraged. After all, it is really expensive to listen to a song for 50,000 taels.
But there are also people who are willing to spend a lot of money just to see Xue'er. And she only stays in Fengyue Tower for three days on the 20th of every month, and today happens to be the 20th. "Yan Tianming said it with admiration.
Ye Xingchen thought of the 100,000 taels in his yard, and immediately came up with an idea: "Since you make it sound so amazing, I'll go with you to see it for myself."
"Walking."
Although it was already the late night, the entire Fengyue Tower was decorated with lights and was bustling with people. Men and women were walking around, talking, laughing, and drinking. It was quite lively.
"How is it? Isn't it lively?" Yan Tianming said proudly.
"It's really good." Ye Xingchen agreed.
"Oh, why did you come so late today, Mr. Yan? The girls all missed you so much. Why did you bring a girl with you? This is a paradise for men." The madam came over and said enthusiastically.
Ye Xingchen glanced at the madam: "I want to see Xue'er!"
The madam was startled. She looked at Ye Xingchen and said, "This girl, Xue'er is our top girl. Not everyone can see her. Our rule is that the starting price is 10,000 taels."
"I'll offer one hundred thousand taels to buy Miss Xue'er for one day!" Ye Xingchen said domineeringly.
