Chapter 54: Into the Dream
Zuiyunlou is the largest brothel in Shengjing City.
Although it was already night, Zuiyun Tower was still bustling with activity. Those who came were either rich or noble, and all of them were able to spend a lot of money.
Li Jifeng spent half a day in the palace and finally dragged Xie Tingzhou out.
Li Jifeng is a frequent visitor here and usually comes here in disguise.
As soon as the madam saw him, she greeted him enthusiastically, "Mr. Feng, you haven't been here for a while. What brings you here today?"
Everyone here is a shrewd person. The madam is a smart person. She never inquires about the identity of the customers. As long as he can afford the money, he is the master. No matter who he is, she will take him as her boss.
Li Jifeng didn't feel cold in this winter, and waved a folding fan in a romantic manner, "I brought my brother here today. Look, this is the distinguished guest today."
He moved aside and when he saw Xie Tingzhou behind him, the madam was stunned.
Li Jifeng closed his folding fan and said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you welcome the person in?"
The madam came back to her senses and quickly invited the people in. "Several young masters are waiting for you two in the room. Look at me, I was stunned for a moment. With this young master's appearance, I think Young Master Lan Yue is no more than this."
Li Jifeng was amused, "That's for sure, they are definitely equally matched."
Speaking of the ostentatious nickname "Master Lan Yue", it was Li Jifeng who first spread it.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Li Jifeng.
The reason why he came today was because he could no longer stay in the palace like this.
One was that he was restless inside, and the other was that in order to make Emperor Tongxu relax his vigilance, he had created the image of a playboy in Beilin in recent years. He had not been to a brothel or a restaurant for several days after entering Beijing, and Emperor Tongxu would definitely become suspicious.
The madam personally took the two of them into the best room.
As soon as Li Jifeng and Xie Tingzhou entered the room, the group of young men who were staggering around immediately stood up.
They were all people who often hung out in places of entertainment, so they tacitly did not address each other based on their status, but just smiled and bowed.
Li Jifeng called out, "Call a few girls in, they must be clean, my brother is very picky."
"Of course. We will definitely send the most beautiful girl in our Zuiyun Tower to you, young master." said the madam enthusiastically.
I thought that even if she was the most beautiful girl in Zuiyun Tower, she would feel that this young man was wronged. I really don’t know who got the advantage.
The madam left happily, and then the young men began to greet each other.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince."
Several young men present here are from prominent families. They all know that the Xie family of Beilin is extremely powerful. The King of Beilin originally conquered the world on horseback, and later a prince named Xie Tingzhou emerged to inherit his legacy.
Xie Tingzhou became famous at a young age, but unexpectedly he met with an accident on the battlefield. Perhaps because of the blow, he began to live a life of debauchery.
If we compare how dissolute these young men are, they can't be more dissolute than him.
Xie Tingzhou nodded and greeted him.
"Only the Ninth Prince can invite the Crown Prince. I have sent many invitations before but received no response."
"That's not true," Li Jifeng said proudly, "What's my relationship with him?"
In a short while, girls dressed in gorgeous clothes came in one after another, some holding musical instruments, some holding fans.
Seeing the new young man in the room, the girls were amazed and secretly happy in their hearts.
The sound of stringed instruments continued, Li Jifeng beat the rhythm with the folding fan in his hand, and several young men hugged beauties and chatted.
Xie Tingzhou was leaning back, playing with the wine glass in his hand.
After he finished one cup, the woman kneeling beside him held the pot and wanted to pour him another cup, but he moved his hands aside and the woman couldn't reach it. When she leaned forward, she lost her balance and fell on him.
"Hahaha," Li Jifeng laughed, "She's a knowledgeable girl."
The woman's act of throwing herself at the man was exposed on the spot. She blushed with shame and hesitated to speak. She whispered, "Sir."
Xie Tingzhou looked at her with his eyes lowered, without any expression. He picked up Li Jifeng's folding fan on the table and lifted the girl's chin to look at her carefully.
The girl looked at the face in front of her, his immortal eyes and brows had fallen into the mortal world. In such a place of fireworks, there was not a trace of worldly air in his eyes.
She suddenly felt ashamed of herself, fearing that her identity and appearance would offend the immortal.
Xie Tingzhou threw the folding fan back on the table in boredom.
The girl's face suddenly turned pale because she saw boredom on the young man's face.
Li Jifeng drank his wine and looked at Xie Tingzhou's expression from time to time.
Xie Tingzhou knew that Li Jifeng was looking at him, but he still had to pretend.
"You," he pointed at the woman playing the piano, "come here."
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the woman walked gracefully to his side and knelt on the ground.
He just glanced at it and said, "Pour the wine."
Li Jifeng seemed to be thinking about something. "Why? The girls here are not as pretty as those in Beilin. Are they not to your taste?"
Xie Tingzhou smiled softly, "I'm tired of it."
Li Jifeng thought of the man in prison, his eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind.
Suddenly he asked one of the young men, "Chao Heng, how is the young servant you just brought into the mansion?"
It was not uncommon for wealthy families to keep male favorites in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Chao Heng glanced at Xie Tingzhou, and seeing that he did not look disgusted, he spoke up: "He is young, but he is very delicate and bold. He got angry with me just because I went to my concubine's yard. This is my first time to coax someone."
A man named Xue Jin, whose mother is the current emperor's younger sister, asked, "How did you coax her?"
Chao Heng smiled and said, "How else can I coax him? I'll just call him by his nickname and sleep with him for a while, and then I'll give him some rare toys later."
Xie Tingzhou inexplicably thought of Shi Yu. He remembered that his nickname was Shan Paoer. At least that's what the people below called him during the competition.
Li Jifeng had been keeping an eye on him. Seeing him holding the cup with a faint smile on his lips, he leaned over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Tingzhou was stunned.
Why did he think of Shi Yu?
How could he call anyone by his nickname? Besides, if someone hugged him and told him to stop making trouble, he would probably be furious on the spot.
Judging from the conversation just now, Xie Tingzhou was not averse to male favorites, and he was slightly distracted at the time.
Li Jifeng seemed to have discovered something strange and was excited all night.
Li Jifeng spared no effort and got Xie Tingzhou drunk a lot of wine in one night. He then stayed in a private room on the top floor of Zuiyun Tower.
The sky was turning pale.
Xie Tingzhou suddenly woke up from his dream.
He bent his legs and rested his palms on his forehead. The lingering heat had not yet dissipated, and his sweaty back seemed to be pressed against two soft palms.
He had a dream, and he dreamed of someone he never expected to dream about.
Or rather, he had thought about it, but refused to admit it in his heart.
The erotic scene in the dream had not yet faded away. The person’s long hair was spread on the couch, his cheeks were flushed, his fingers were curled up and grabbing the quilt, and the curtains were swaying with the waves.
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, threw back the quilt and got out of bed.
As soon as he moved, his whole body froze. The wetness on his underwear met the cold air, and the chill went straight into his heart.
This is something that young people must go through.
This was something that had not happened to him since he was sixteen years old, but it was actually happening now.
