The two of them arrived on the fourth floor. There were a total of eight girls here, all of whom were top-notch in poetry, talent, and appearance.
A night here costs 500 taels of silver, which is equivalent to ten years of living expenses for an ordinary family. It is a sky-high price.
There are eight rooms separated, and there are pens, inks, paper and inkstones at the door of each room.
At the end, a new lantern hangs with the word Qing Yuan written on it.
The new girl's name is Qingyuan.
Six scribes were sitting at the door, engrossed in writing poems.
The two of them walked over, and one of the young masters stood up and saluted: "Oh, it would be great if you two are here. It's really difficult for Madam Qingyuan to match up."
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng looked at each other, smiled, and said, "We have broken this barrier for you and will take you to see the beauty of Lady Qingyuan."
The other five scribes stood up and said, "Then I'll rely on you two."
He Wenbai picked up the pair presented by Lady Qingyuan, and Hu Zhiheng picked up the pen and ink. The two of them were full of confidence.
Two hours later, He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng came down from upstairs with several scholars.
Yueniang said in surprise: "Can't you two pass the test?"
He Wenbai had a look of shame on his face and said with a wry smile: "Hey, it seems that we will never see the half-immortal lady again in this life."
Hu Zhiheng sighed: "The new lady Qingyuan has outstanding literary talent, we..."
The literati behind him also shook their heads and chuckled. Even He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng couldn't do anything. It would be no shame for them to lose.
The civilized officials downstairs recognized the two of them and heard that they had also been defeated. They all said that there was another lady in Wangqing Pavilion that no one could see.
Yueniang consoled her: "You two gentlemen, don't be discouraged. This lady, Qingyuan, is from Nanliang. Her family was originally from a scholarly family, and she ended up living here after suffering hardships. It's normal to not get along for a while. Think about it more when you go back."
With your talents, you two will definitely be able to pass the test and enter the house."
He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng thought about it. After all, they were first-rate talents in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"I'll have a rest at Wangqing Pavilion tonight, please Yueniang to make some arrangements."
Yueniang smiled and said: "The two young masters have reserved their own rooms."
The two of them stayed at Wangqing Pavilion for one night.
....
West Palace.
The capital is unbearably hot in summer, but at night, the women in the palace are still wearing gauze clothes, with fair skin and graceful figures, just like heaven.
Gong Zheng, Su Yourong, was wearing a black gauze dress with a black breastplate underneath. She was holding a plate with several bowls of bean flour with ice foam in it.
Su Yourong carried the bean powder into the bathroom, and Long Chen, Di Luoxi, Dugu Jiali, and Wu Xiangyun were playing mahjong on the water.
Xuan Yi, Qing Yue, and Zhang Qian were watching.
A wooden mahjong table floated on the water, with Long Chen sitting on the east side, Di Luoxi on the west side, and Dugu Jiali and Wu Xiangyun on both sides.
Di Luoxi threw out a card, Wu Xiangyun thought for a while, then also played a card, and then looked at Long Chen nervously.
"Sorry everyone, I'm confused again!"
Long Chen pushed the cards, looked at the three people with a smile, and said: "You three, take off your clothes!"
Dugu Jiali and Wu Xiangyun reluctantly took off the last bathrobe.
Di Luoxi had already lost all her breastplate and bathrobe, leaving only a pair of underwear.
Long Chen said with a smile: "Your Highness, if you are willing to admit defeat, please put on your underwear..."
Dugu Jiali and Wu Xiangyun looked at Di Luoxi awkwardly.
Di Luoxi sneered, stood up slowly, and then slowly took off a pair... Is there something inside?
"Are you cheating?"
Long Chen pointed at Di Luoxi and said.
Di Luoxi sneered: "You only said you would take off one piece of clothing if you lost, but you didn't say you shouldn't wear more underwear. I don't violate the rules."
Dugu Jiali praised: "The princess is so smart, she actually wears so many underwear. If I had known, I would have worn more pairs."
Di Luoxi smiled proudly and said: "If you play mahjong with him, you need to be more careful and learn from it in the future."
Di Luoxi threw the flesh-colored underwear to Long Chen and said with a proud smile: "If I want this princess to go back naked tonight, there is no way!"
Long Chen took the underwear and said contemptuously: "Princess does not follow martial ethics."
Ah...sneeze...
Long Chen suddenly sneezed.
Zhang Qian asked hurriedly: "Are you catching a cold? Don't keep soaking in the water."
Wu Xiangyun said strangely: "No, how can you catch a cold in such a hot weather?"
Long Chen rubbed his nose and said: "There must be someone saying good things about me. Maybe it's some lady who appreciates my poetry."
Di Luoxi said contemptuously: "You can imagine that a boudoir woman longs for a eunuch in the middle of the night."
Long Chen smiled and said: "She admires my talent, not my body. This is the highest form of worship."
These words gave everyone goosebumps.
Su Yourong came over with iced bean powder and said, "Princess, sir, I made iced bean powder to relieve the heat."
The iced bean powder was served and everyone got a bowl.
Long Chen was eating iced bean powder, looking at Su Yourong's body in black gauze clothes, and said, "Aunt Yourong, shall we play two games?"
Qingyue said with disdain: "If you want to take off Aunt Yourong's clothes and say it directly, why bother beating around the bush?"
Su Yourong said shyly: "It's not enough for you to have so many people accompanying you, sir. They're here to tease me again."
Long Chen smiled and said: "The only person in this palace who can compare with Zhang Qian is my aunt."
Su Yourong lifted her flesh up and said with a smile, "I can't compare to Sissi, mine is drooping."
After finishing the bean noodles, Long Chen said: "You two have lost all your clothes, Aunt Rong and Zhang Qian are here."
Dugu Jiali and Wu Xiangyun gave up their seats, and Su Yourong and Zhang Qian sat in their seats.
"Auntie, you can't lose on purpose."
Zhang Qian specifically asked.
Su Yourong smiled awkwardly and said, "How could I lose on purpose?"
Xuan Yi held a spoon in her mouth and said with a smile: "What if aunt wants to show Xiao Longlong her body?"
These words caught Su Yourong's little thought, and she wanted to lose her clothes, and then show off her figure in public, so that Long Chen could take a closer look at hers.
Su Yourong's face turned red and she cursed, "What do you know, little girl? Don't talk nonsense."
After shuffling the cards again, Long Chen continued to play cards.
....
In the morning, Long Chen opened his eyes. Dugu Jiali lay on Long Chen's body and fell asleep soundly. Wu Xiangyun held Long Chen's hand and talked in his sleep.
The sun is rising outside the window and you can hear the chirping of cicadas.
Playing mahjong until late last night, Long Chen successfully won all of Di Luoxi's underwear.
Su Yourong was also very happy. She successfully lost all her clothes and let Long Chen see enough.
Slowly taking out his hand and gently putting Dugu Jiali down, Long Chen got up from the bed.
After opening the door, I saw Xiang Ning coming over and said, "Sir, Miss Bai has gotten into trouble."
Long Chen asked: "Getting into trouble? What did you do again?"
Bai Tingting helped Long Chen train in the South Camp and has been performing well. How could she get into trouble again?
Xiang Ning shook her head and said: "The news from the Ministry of Justice said that Miss Bai was arrested. I don't know what happened."
Long Chen immediately finished washing up, changed his clothes and went to the Criminal Department.
