In the afternoon, Mingzhu helped Anle change into men's clothes, and she also dressed up like a young gentleman. She stood in front of the mirror and fantasized about how she could look like Wang Wei and have that kind of demeanor.
, and then he was intoxicated in his heart by the grand occasion of countless beauties falling for him. However, no matter how beautiful the imagination was, it was just an imagination. The honest mirror had been telling Mingzhu very frankly that she would change into men's clothes after the disguise.
, he is just a rather elegant-looking man. Compared with being a woman, the only advantage is that Mingzhu's figure is slightly thinner than that of a woman, so it seems more suitable to pretend to be a man.
Princess Anle is different. Princess Anle is as beautiful as a flower. Even if she puts on men's clothes, her face is so white, her lips are so red, and her eyes are full of spring water, flowing with affection.
.
Mingzhu couldn't help but secretly laugh when she saw her look. Fortunately, tonight's banquet was arranged by Li Longji, so whether it was a prostitute or a person serving the banquet, they would pretend to be deaf and dumb and try every means to make Anle happy. Otherwise, just rely on
Her extremely unprofessional way of dressing up would probably make her a big joke as soon as she entered Pingkangli, and she might even be teased in the street by a few prostitutes.
Of course, Mingzhu only thought about these things in her heart and would never say them out loud. Not only did she not say it, she also had to praise Anle greatly. So Mingzhu immediately let out an exclamation, then walked forward and surrounded him.
He turned around An Le and said something in his mouth:
"Oh my god, princess, you look like the most handsome man in the world when you look like this. You are so smart. You can do whatever you want. Let me see, if you really put on the dragon robe, you will definitely do it.
She is the most chic and elegant queen."
Anle glared at Mingzhu and scolded in a low voice:
"You are looking for death! Such words are nonsense!" Although she was scolding her, it was not difficult to see that she was still happy to be complimented by Mingzhu like this.
Mingzhu had already figured out Anle's thoughts, and she pretended to smile mysteriously:
"Don't worry, princess, I have sent the servants away. There is no one here. Princess, look." Mingzhu held Anle's hand and opened the folding fan for her with a snap, and Anle followed suit.
She took two steps like a man and felt pretty good about herself. Watching Anle admiring herself in the mirror, Mingzhu suddenly moved next to her and said in a cooing voice:
"Master, you want to harm the Nu family." As Mingzhu spoke, she snuggled into Anle's arms. At the same time, she raised her arm and put it softly on Anle's neck. Anle was startled by Mingzhu.
, suddenly took a step back, and then shouted loudly:
"what are you doing!"
Seeing Anle's panicked look, Mingzhu chuckled and bent over.
Anle stared at Mingzhu and growled in a low voice:
"Are you crazy today? How dare you behave so inappropriately?"
Mingzhu still smiled and said:
"I have good intentions, and the princess doesn't even think about where exactly you are going tonight. When you get there, those girls are much more generous than me. They see that a young man like the princess is rich and elegant.
Why don’t all the young masters pounce on me at once? If the princess doesn’t practice in advance, how can she withstand their tossing. I am adapting in advance for the sake of the princess.”
Mingzhu spoke plausibly and said there was nothing she could do about An Le, but she was also full of curiosity about the brothel:
"Mingzhu, are the girls in Pingkangli really as generous as you just now? Can they please men better than my father's concubines?"
"Hi," Mingzhu didn't know what to say after hearing Anle's question. Who is better at pleasing men, prostitutes or harem ladies? It's all the same. Mingzhu didn't know how to answer, so she had to say,
"Well, I've never seen what those concubines and ladies are like. Princess, you'd better go and see for yourself. It's almost time, let's go."
Li Longji booked the largest brothel in Pingkangli today, dropped a lot of money, and only gave one thing:
"No matter how weird the two young men who come tonight are, they must be served to their pleasure."
These bustards who run brothels are all human beings. They do this kind of business in the imperial city at the foot of the emperor. They have long learned to live with eyes, heart and mouth, so they don’t ask any questions.
, and started getting ready immediately.
At noon, the entire brothel has been decorated with flowers, endless tenderness, and endless fragrance. I am afraid that as long as a man comes in, he will not need to see those girls. Just look at the surrounding decorations.
They couldn't bear to leave anymore. And those girls even got up from their naps and began to dress up carefully, each and every one of them dressed up like a beauty in the world.
As dusk approached, a plain-colored sedan was carried to the door of the brothel, and a handsome-looking young man, Li Chengqi, got down from the sedan.
Although Li Chengqi usually indulges in pleasure, he rarely comes to places like this, so the madam of the brothel doesn't know him. But the old madam has very poisonous eyes. One look at Li Chengqi and he knows that he is not an ordinary person. He must be
He was rich and powerful, so he quickly came up to him and tried to curry favor with him.
The attendant who was sent by Li Longji to arrange the affairs in the brothel followed Li Chengqi and said to the old madam:
"My grandpa is only sitting in the side hall today. We like to be clean. Don't let others disturb me. Don't tell irrelevant people about my whereabouts. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, don't worry." The old bustard responded repeatedly with a smile on his face, and bowed to escort Li Chengqi into the side hall.
When a man like Li Chengqi walks into a place like a brothel, he must be particularly eye-catching. The girls all turn their attention to him, staring at him and making eyes at him. However, Li Chengqi acts as if he didn't notice, and just wears it with a serious expression on his face.
After passing the flower building and entering the side hall, the madam couldn't help but secretly marvel at this scene:
"This man is really a ruthless character. Ordinary flowers and willows can't impress him at all."
Li Chengqi entered the side hall, pointed at a bead curtain on one side, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, they will be over there in a moment."
Li Chengqi looked at it. The bead curtain seemed to be transparent. He could see the situation in the other hall. Li Chengqi nodded:
"Not bad." He said no more.
The entourage felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why the normally cheerful Prince Shouchun suddenly became so gloomy today. The entourage couldn't help but recall it in his mind, trying to see if there was anything he hadn't done well.
In fact, he didn't know that Li Chengqi was actually nervous right now! Yes, as the time to see Fang Mingzhu approached step by step, his heart was already rising. He was really afraid that this Fang Mingzhu would be the one that haunted him.
That Fang Taozi!
Li Chengqiku was sitting in the side hall, praying silently in his heart:
'God, you have never been kind to me, and I have never made any request to you. This time, please help me for the sake of the hard work I have endured for many years. I have no other extravagant expectations.
, I just ask you to give me the girl I really love completely.'
Li Chengqi closed his eyes slightly to prevent those around him from seeing the almost uncontrollable fear deep in his eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but the attendant suddenly whispered in Li Chengqi’s ear:
"My lord, they are coming!"
There was no expression on Li Chengqi's face. He was still so calm, like a piece of ancient jade that had been silent for thousands of years. His eyes were still slightly lowered. Years of strong winds and waves had already made Li Chengqi good at it - the more critical the moment.
, the calmer his heart becomes, and the calmer the person becomes.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise on the stairs, the sound of footsteps, the sound of rings, the chirping of birds, plus the obsequious voice of the madam, all seemed to burst out at once, filling people's ears.
"Master Fang, Master Li, please come this way." The old bustard's voice had already reached the door.
Mingzhu deliberately lowered her voice and said loudly:
"Mom, please remove the flowers on both sides. Our young master doesn't like such a strong fragrance."
"This is easy to handle. Hurry, get this out of the way."
While talking, the group of people entered the hall.
The attendant looked at Li Chengqi and felt a little strange:
'Didn't Your Majesty say that someone is here to see you today? Why is it that even though these people are here, he seems to be asleep and doesn't even open his eyes?'
Little did the entourage know that Mingzhu's words just now were like pouring a ladle of hot oil onto Li Chengqi's heart. His heart immediately fell into a hellish torment, and he almost fainted from the pain.
For a moment, the whole world lost its color in Li Chengqi's eyes, and there was only one thought left in his heart:
'It's her, it's really her!'
Li Chengqi's arm moved slightly. His movement was so light that no one noticed it. He did this to cover up the handles of his robe sleeves, so that his hands could hold the armrests of the chair tightly without being caught.
People saw it.
Li Chengqi used all his strength to hold on to the armrest tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were already exposed. He needed this action to maintain the balance of his body and suppress the trembling that came from deep in his heart.
"Ming," An Le suddenly paused as soon as she opened her mouth. It seemed that she was used to it, and she almost called out Ming Zhu's name. After a pause, An Le changed her words: "Mr. Fang, didn't you say there are a lot of fun things here?
Of?"
"Yes," Mingzhu said briskly, "Mom, didn't I say I wanted to see your most exciting song and dance? Why haven't you started yet?"
Listening to Mingzhu's light laughter and slightly arrogant tone, Li Chengqi couldn't help but have those smart, smart eyes reappear in his heart.
