Just in case, he specifically chose some less outstanding boys, so that the poster wouldn't fall for them and wouldn't end up cuckolding the emperor.
He thought he was really clever.
Si Luo and Si Lan saw Wen Nongnong whispering to the Fifth Elder for a while, and they didn't know what they were discussing, but they vaguely guessed that it was not a good thing.
The Fifth Elder was very efficient and made the arrangements in no time.
Wen Nongnong, Si Luo, and Si Lan had just sat down in the private room when the waiter brought out the drinks. Soon after, the girls and boys arranged by the Fifth Elder filed in and stood in a neat row.
Wen Nongnong picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip. She was still breastfeeding and couldn't drink alcohol, so she could only take a small sip to satisfy her craving.
She held her wine glass, her gaze sweeping over the faces of the boys and girls one by one.
As expected of the Fifth Elder, the people he selected are all outstanding in both appearance and figure.
Just as she was about to say something, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Bai Li walked in anxiously.
Ignoring everyone's stares, she walked breathlessly to Wen Nongnong's side, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has just arrived and is now at the Prince's residence."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Wen Nongnong choked on her own saliva and almost fell off the chair.
She should have checked the almanac before going out today.
How come Gu Linchao returned so soon after she arrived at Baihua Tower?
"He doesn't know I'm here, does he?" she asked quickly, realizing what had happened.
Although Baihualou is not what it used to be, Gu Linchao is old-fashioned and would not like her coming to such an entertainment venue.
Even though it's still daytime, Baihualou is not yet open to the public.
If Gu Linchao finds out that she left her child behind and came here to play, will he be angry with her?
"No, Lü Qiao told the Emperor that you and Miss Si went shopping, and I secretly slipped out to inform you," Bai Li whispered.
Seeing that there was still room for maneuver, Wen Nongnong breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to delay. She got up, took her hand, and urged, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Si Lan quickly stood up as well, "Are you going back?"
Wen Nongnong then remembered and quickly pressed her back to her seat. Then she pointed to the row of young men and women standing in front of her and said, "These are the people that I asked the Fifth Elder to arrange. You and Si Luo take a good look. There are more in the back. If you see anyone you like, just tell the Fifth Elder."
Upon hearing this, Si Lan's eyes widened. She had never seen much of the world before, but she now understood her intention.
Her whole outing today was actually about her marriage to her brother...
this……
She naturally knew the operating model of Baihualou and knew that the young men and women standing in front of her were not prostitutes; they all made a living through their talents.
But……
Her gaze swept over those young faces, and for some reason, she felt a little blush and her heart race.
It was because she hadn't expected Wen Nongnong to have such a plan, and she had never encountered such a situation before.
After Wen Nongnong finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
Si Lan bit her lip and looked at her brother sitting calmly beside her. Just as she was about to suggest that they go back, a young man standing at the end of the table took a step forward with a flute in his hand and said in a low voice, "Sitting here is boring, so let Cheng Feng play a tune for the two guests."
The boy wore a light blue robe and was quite slender. Standing among a group of handsome young men, his features were not particularly outstanding, but he was fair-skinned and handsome, giving people a very comfortable feeling. In particular, his eyes were very beautiful, as cool and tranquil as a gently flowing mountain spring.
When she met the boy's eyes, Si Lan was stunned for a moment. Realizing what was happening, she quickly looked away and looked at Si Luo with a questioning expression.
Si Luo naturally understood Wen Nong Nong's intentions and couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.
He himself may choose not to marry, but he cannot help but consider Si Lan's future.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the boy who had volunteered to play and nodded, "Okay, you can play."
Upon hearing this, the young man placed the flute to his lips and began to play slowly.
For a moment, the room was filled with the melodious sound of a flute. The gentle and pleasant sound of the flute seemed to wash away the restlessness in people's hearts and calm them down.
Si Lan sat back in her chair and, without realizing it, listened to the entire piece.
She was still somewhat dazed when the flute music stopped.
After leaving the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, Wen Nongnong ran all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.
She deliberately ran until she was out of breath, making herself look extremely disheveled.
When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, she ran into Wang Houde, who was looking for her.
"Your Majesty, you've finally returned! This servant was just about to go and find you."
Wen Nongnong greeted him, "Eunuch Wang, it's been a long time."
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time," Wang Houde said with a smile.
Since the Empress Dowager passed away, he went to the capital to report the news and then stayed in the capital to help Gu Linchao. This time, when Gu Linchao returned to Xiangzhou, he came back with him.
"Where is your master now?" Wen Nongnong asked.
"The master is in the main courtyard," Wang Houde replied immediately.
"Then I'll head over first," Wen Nongnong said, and quickly ran towards the main courtyard.
Seeing this, Bai Li didn't rush to follow.
Wang Houde glanced at her, then said with a half-smile, "Did you just sneak off to inform the Empress?"
Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately denied it, "No way..."
"If not, why are you here? I remember you were here when I followed Master in just now," Wang Houde said. "Master was preoccupied with the two young masters and didn't notice, but do you think no one else noticed either?"
