"By the way, Master, what about the young ladies of the Liu family..."
Murong Jin felt a headache coming on as soon as she heard those words: "Let's talk about it when they come to the capital."
Yi Liu smiled, thinking that when the Liu family's young ladies arrived, his master would have a headache.
I heard that several young ladies have a crush on their master...
This is going to be interesting.
In the hall, Murong Jin looked at Emperor Junlan, who was sitting in the main seat.
Especially the way Di Junlan held the teacup and drank tea with such an upright expression, it was just like when she usually drank tea in a cold and aloof manner...
"Brother, you've come."
Hearing the word "brother," Murong Jin suppressed the urge to hit someone.
Then, never mind.
Yi Liu pushed her over, and Murong Jin stopped there. "What are you doing?"
"Have some tea, brother. This tea tastes quite good."
Murong Jin chuckled, "It seems His Majesty's health has almost fully recovered."
Di Junlan's fingers twitched slightly, a smile on his face, showing no guilt whatsoever. "After taking Physician Li's medicine this morning, I slept for a while and recovered almost completely."
"I heard from Zhao Delin that my brother stayed up all night to watch over me. Thank you for your hard work, brother."
Murong Jin glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but said nothing.
She read aloud all night, leaving her both amused and exasperated.
Moreover, this person was pretending to be asleep; the color of their face could have turned into a monkey's butt...
However, the way it looks when it's asleep is quite adorable.
"Now that you're better, when will you return to the palace?"
Di Junlan's eyes darkened. "There's no need to attend court today, so brother, you don't need to worry about matters of state. I'll handle everything."
Murong Jin hummed in agreement. Di Junlan had performed well in the past two months, especially in his problem-solving approaches and ideas, which were almost identical to her own.
"I came out secretly, brother, please don't let anyone know who I am."
Everyone in the Regent's Palace knows Di Junlan, so why would she need to tell others his identity?
"Big brother!!!"
A gentle, youthful voice rang out. Di Junlan looked over and saw a carefree, innocent-looking boy running towards them.
Liu Huaisheng ran over and slid down to his knees to hug Murong Jin's leg.
"Big brother!"
Murong Jin looked at him, reached out and ruffled his hair. "What are you doing?"
Can I go out and play?
Murong Jin: "Okay."
With wide, innocent eyes, Liu Huaisheng asked naively, "I want to go to the brothels that adults talk about. Can I go?"
Murong Jin's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and her eyes softened considerably. "Oh? Why would you want to go to a place like that?"
Liu Huaisheng looked embarrassed, and then he noticed that there was someone sitting opposite his older brother.
Someone's there!
He nodded to Di Junlan, "Hello, brother's friend."
Di Junlan looked at this unfamiliar young man, who appeared to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old...
"Brother, I heard from my friends that brothels are full of delicious food, beautiful women dancing, and the entertainment is top-notch..."
The cup in Murong Jin's hand shattered without her noticing. Her tone was ambiguous, and her emotions were hard to discern. "So, you want to go to a brothel?"
Liu Huaisheng looked at the broken teacup, then immediately grabbed Murong Jin's hand to check; she wasn't injured.
"Brother, why are you angry? Is it because I can't go to this brothel?"
Murong Jin: "Huaisheng."
"I'm here."
Murong Jin: "Have you ever heard of a brothel?"
Liu Huaisheng paused, his face flushing red. "I've heard of it."
"What about the brothels?"
Liu Huaisheng: "I've heard of that too..."
"Flower House, it means the same as them."
Liu Huaisheng's eyes widened. Wasn't that also a brothel?
I was completely dumbfounded. "But what my friends meant by 'living a life of debauchery'... isn't that just about eating, drinking, and having fun?"
Murong Jin looked at her naive younger brother and said, "No, if you go, you won't like it, and you might even feel nauseous."
Liu Huaisheng nodded. His family was very strict and never allowed him to go to such places. He had never heard of the term "brothel" before and didn't know what it was, but he had been to a brothel once before...
“Then I won’t go, but brother, you have to stay with me while I’m at the manor.”
Murong Jin: "Okay."
Di Junlan observed their every move, especially Murong Jin's gentle manner and personality towards her younger brother.
Treat him with cold indifference, even expressionless...
Who is this?
Murong Jin glanced at Liu Huaisheng, then at Di Junlan. Before she could speak, Liu Huaisheng stood up and said to Di Junlan with a gentle and kind expression, "Hello, brother. I am his younger brother, Liu Huaisheng."
Liu Huaisheng.
His surname is Liu.
Besides her two younger siblings from her cousin's side, Murong Jin had no other siblings who were related by blood.
So, after recognizing Ling Qiao'er as his younger sister, is he now recognizing someone else as his younger brother?
"By the way, big brother, are you discussing something with my brother?"
"Then you two chat."
Then Liu Huaisheng smiled at Murong Jin and said, "Brother, I'm going to read a book now. When you're not busy, remember to take me out to play, just like when we were kids."
Murong Jin: "Okay."
Di Junlan: "???"
Just like when I was a child.
Their gaze fell on Liu Huaisheng as he left, before finally turning to Murong Jin, "When did you recognize your brother?"
Murong Jin thought for a moment, "It was probably when he was 10 years old? I forgot, but we've known each other for about eight or nine years."
