Originally, the people who chose the oiran were all the girls who had been in the building before. Now when it comes to the first night auction, it must be a new girl, and she must be a candidate that the madam is very optimistic about.
Bilian said: "Five... The old bustard said that one of the five was a government prostitute, but she was ill and kept in prison. Later, she recovered and no one else wanted her, so the government
Sent here."
Feng Yao raised the corners of his mouth, half-smiling, and said: "This is interesting. Have you checked the identity of this official prostitute, and most importantly, what is her relationship with Feng Xuan?"
Bi Lian was slightly stunned, and then said: "I have asked Sha Ling to investigate, and we may have to wait to find out... However, the young master seems to have concluded that Feng Xuan came here just for that official prostitute?"
Bilian didn't quite understand how taboo brothels were against the imperial court, so she didn't know what those ministers' coming to the brothel meant.
As the saying goes, one emperor has one courtier. The previous emperors may not have any taboos about such things.
But the current emperor hated it very much because he had suffered a loss in this matter. How could he allow his ministers to enter and leave the brothel?
In the past, Yu Min was messing around with a brothel girl. If the Queen Mother hadn't interceded from him, I'm afraid the punishment would be more than just being grounded and copying scriptures.
But Feng Xuan clearly knew that the emperor didn't like his ministers going to brothels. If the emperor found out, he would be severely punished. What's more, the emperor was waiting to catch the Feng family's pigtails. Feng Xuan didn't know that if he came today, he might be punished severely.
The trouble it brings.
But he still came, which only meant that there was something in the brothel that he absolutely couldn't let go of.
If it were really the official prostitute, this scene would be pretty good.
Generally speaking, official prostitutes are either the family of the guilty minister or the woman who committed the crime. No matter what status the woman is, without an imperial edict, she will not be able to leave the brothel in this life, and she cannot be kept by one person.
After her first night, even if she was elected as an oiran, she could not escape the fate of receiving guests.
Moreover, official prostitutes could not choose their clients. As long as a client wanted her, they could get her by paying money.
This is also the reason why when many officials have their homes confiscated or are convicted, their female relatives seek death in search of relief.
Feng Yao originally didn't know about this system in Li country. It was only after he and Yu Liu chatted about what would happen to the female family members if the Feng family was confiscated that Feng Yao learned about these things.
Although it is a bit cruel, this is ancient times, not modern times. The legal system in ancient times was not perfect, and this was an era when imperial power was supreme. It is normal for family members to be implicated.
Feng Yao pursed her lips and smiled, and asked: "Bilian, what do you think of Feng Xuan's identity?"
Bilian thought for a while and said: "Feng Xuan is the prime minister himself, the head of the civil service, his father is the Marquis and the head of the military attache, his sister is the princess, his aunt is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, and the two concubines
My sister is the most favored concubine today and is in charge of the Sixth Palace, and his grandfather, the Prime Minister, was an even more impressive figure at that time..."
"Yes, tell me, with Feng Xuan's current status, who else in the government and the public can compare with him?" Feng Yao continued to ask.
Bilian shook her head and said softly: "In terms of status, no one can compare to him except the royal family."
"Yes, Feng Xuan has such a high status, why would he come to the brothel? Would he accompany several ministers to visit the brothel?"
