The empress didn't expect Long Chen to ask this question.
"I thought you knew, but it turns out you don't."
"Okay, step back."
The Empress replied lightly, and Long Chen was confused. What did the Empress mean?
Long Chen stood up and bowed: "Wei Chen, please retire."
The empress asked Long Chen to step back, but Long Chen couldn't wait to leave.
After leaving Fengming Palace, Long Chen rode back to Prince Wu's Mansion.
In the front yard, He Juntao was supervising Xiaohu's practice.
He Juntao was holding a bamboo whip in his hand and looked very fierce. Xiaohu didn't dare to be naughty.
Long Chen secretly laughed in his heart: You brat, this is how you should be dealt with!
After entering the backyard and returning to the bedroom, Long Chen changed into his court clothes.
"Where's my jewelry?"
Ya'er slipped in through the window and rummaged through the cabinets in the bedroom to find the box.
As soon as Long Chen took off his court clothes, he saw Ya'er like a mouse rummaging through a box.
"Under the bed."
Long Chen pointed.
Feng He quietly sent the jewelry box back last night.
Ya'er got under the bed, bent over and pulled the box out, picked it up and put it on the table. She climbed onto the chair and opened the box with a smile: "My little baby..."
Ya'er rubbed her hands together excitedly, looking like a fly.
Long Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and asked: "Did you learn this money-grubbing character from Ji Xianxian?"
Ya'er was focused on the jewelry and couldn't hear what Long Chen said.
Ya'er picked up an amber gem, looked at it in the light of the window, then lifted up her skirt and wiped it, the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
"I think the most correct thing you did during your trip to Jinling was to steal Li Chengdao's inner treasury."
"Why did you only steal one box? Why didn't you steal more?"
Ya'er put down the amber gem and picked up a pearl the size of an egg.
After sighing at the pearl, Ya'er wiped it happily and wanted to take a bite.
"I entered the palace to lurk and kill people, and I only stole things by the way."
"Besides, I'm not a money fan."
Long Chen took off his court clothes and put on his usual casual clothes, feeling much more comfortable.
Ya'er put down the pearl and asked strangely: "You sneaked into Li Chengdao's harem. There are so many concubines, why don't you pick flowers?"
Long Chen was stunned for a while and said: "Who do you think I am? I am a pervert, not a flower picker."
"It's not sweet to be forced. Women who are good to me are all voluntary. What are you thinking?"
Ya'er pulled out a piece of crystal clear jade and said with disdain: "Bah, shameless! Do I want it? You force me every time!"
Long Chen was speechless for a moment, it seemed that Ya'er was really unwilling, and Long Chen always wanted to force her.
"Why are you here? Come to get your jewelry? Or do you miss me again?"
Long Chen changed the topic, not wanting to continue discussing the issue of willingness or unwillingness.
Ya'er picked around and finally selected a particularly exquisite gold hairpin.
He carefully hid the golden hairpin in his arms and patted his chest again to make sure it was put away.
"Who missed you, you big pervert."
"Madam, I have something to do with you. I'm going to Wangqing Pavilion tonight."
"Remember, we are not allowed to tell our secrets to my wife."
Ya'er patted the jewelry box and said very seriously.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, little money fan."
Ya'er took the gold hairpin and left Prince Wu's Mansion very happily.
It was getting late and it was almost getting dark. Long Chen left the room and happened to meet Su Yourong.
"Your Majesty, are you still going out at night?"
"I'm going to the Zhenfo Temple to talk to Mojie about something. I might not be back tonight."
Long Chen said casually, and Su Yourong didn't ask any more questions.
Long Chen walked out of Prince Wu's Mansion and walked slowly towards Rouge Lane.
The sky is getting late, the cold wind blows gently through the streets, and a sense of autumn coolness blows against our faces.
There are two climates in Jingshi and Jinling. When you come back from Jinling City, you will feel like going from summer to autumn.
"At this time, it should be snowing on the grassland."
Long Chen thought of the barbarian grassland and wondered what happened to Xiao Manzi and Liu Qingqing.
Ahead, more than a dozen horses came running, led by a young man in brocade clothes, followed by a group of people.
Rabbits, foxes, pheasants and other prey were hung on the horses.
It looked like he had just returned from hunting.
"Sir, we have a good harvest today."
"It's a pity that the deer was too alert and ran away."
Mr. Jinyi smiled and said: "I am very lucky today. Not only did I catch prey, I also saw a beautiful creature."
The people behind him shouted: "Young master is too cautious. If you ask me, I will just rob the person."
A group of people were laughing and riding horses across the street, while pedestrians on the road retreated.
Long Chen listened to the arrogant laughter and thought to himself: It's time for the dandies in the capital to straighten themselves out. Listening to what I just said, that person dared to rob a beautiful woman when he saw her. Is there any royal method?
As night fell, Long Chen slowly walked into Rouge Lane.
The vendors set up stalls on the roadside, and the smell of food filled the air.
The lanterns in the Chu Pavilion of the brothel were hung up, the sound of silk and bamboo was whirling, the horses and carriages stopped in front of the brothel, the old bustard and the Turtle Gong went out to welcome the guests, and it was a lively and prosperous scene.
When they reached Wangqing Pavilion, Yueniang saw Long Chen from a distance and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Meet King Wu."
Yuen Niang bowed in a low voice.
"No need to be polite, my wife is on the fifth floor, right?"
"Here, waiting for King Wu."
Long Chen quietly walked up to the fifth floor.
Pushing the door open and going in, Ji Xianxian was waiting for Long Chen, and Xiaoqin was waiting beside him.
Ya'er is not here, so she probably took the money to buy food.
"I haven't seen my wife for many days, and I miss her very much."
Long Chen sat down opposite Ji Xianxian.
Ji Xianxian is wearing a dark pink dress tonight, with a ribbon wrapped around her chest. She looks very fairy and pink.
"There are so many beauties in Jinling City, do you still have time to miss me?"
"Didn't you taste the eighteen fairies from Lanyue Pavilion one by one?"
Ji Xianxian looked at Long Chen coldly, as if she was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"What I said, Madam, I look down upon those promiscuous women."
Long Chen has a mysophobia. It's okay for a woman in the romantic field to have fun on the spot, but it's really not okay to do it because she's too dirty.
The eighteen fairies in Lan Yue Pavilion are indeed beautiful. Lan Yue, Yao Yue and Su Yue are even more stunning.
But Long Chen couldn't possibly want it.
Ji Xianxian said slowly: "I don't like the prostitutes. I am also a prostitute in Wangqing Pavilion."
Long Chen smiled and said: "My wife is different."
Ji Xianxian asked: "What's the difference?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I am the only guest, your one red belongs to me, and everything from now on also belongs to me, so it is different."
Ji Xianxian frowned, her face turned slightly red, and she cursed in a low voice: "Shameless!"
Xiaoqin watched Ji Xianxian and Long Chen flirting with each other from the side, and said with disdain in her heart: Two sluts, talking and doing slutty things, are both shameless.
Ji Xianxian glanced at Xiaoqin, who immediately poured tea for Long Chen.
"I'm a little curious, why does the lady want to be in Wangqing Pavilion?"
"This is completely inconsistent with your identity and strength."
Long Chen expressed his long-standing doubts.
Ji Xianxian is the princess of Qielan Kingdom and the leader of the Dragon Gang. With such status and strength, she is very inappropriate in a place like Wangqing Pavilion.
