    Chapter 231: If he doesn’t go… I will.

    The stewardess looked at the silver notes in Xiao Li’s hand, her eyes shining. She thought that with these two beautiful young ladies, Yun Gongzi should agree.

    “Heh… Then Hong Mama, I’ll try my best.”

    As she spoke, she raised her hand and took the silver note that Xiao Li had slipped between her fingers, and instructed, “Quick, take the two ladies to the Guangting Pavilion.”

    In front of the innermost private room on the third floor, a handsome man in red was overlooking the scene below, a hint of interest in the corner of his lips. It seemed he hadn’t made a mistake in coming here this time. The Kyoto of Dong Yue actually had such beauties.

    In another private room, Yun Gongzi, dressed in white, was stroking the strings of his qin. From a distance, he seemed untouched by worldly affairs, but up close, a hint of melancholy could be seen in his eyes.

    Hong Mama pushed open the door and walked in with a smile. “Yo! Yun Gongzi, you’re in a good mood today. Two stunning beauties have arrived at Guangting Pavilion, specifically requesting to see your charm. What do you think… you’re playing here anyway, why not play somewhere else?”

    The man in white stopped his movements, raised his eyes to look at Hong Mama, his voice low and ethereal, “Don’t want to go.”

    Hong Mama pouted, then reluctantly took out a five-hundred-tael silver note from her sleeve. “Here, take it. Hong Mama has already accepted the money, so just go. Those two ladies are rare beauties, people would be willing to pay to catch a glimpse of their beauty. You, ah, you’re making a profit.”

    Yun Gongzi’s mouth slightly curved up in disdain. “I only promised to perform publicly. Private accompaniment is entirely up to me.”

    As he spoke, he continued to stroke the strings, ignoring Hong Mama.

    Hong Mama sighed secretly, looking as if she disapproved but was helpless.

    After all, even if Yun Gongzi didn’t accompany guests, he could still raise the standards of their entire Yunqing Pavilion.

    She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and was about to open her mouth to persuade him further, when a pleasant voice came from behind her, sounding energetic and youthful, completely opposite to Yun Gongzi.

    “Hong Mama, don’t force him. Our Yunqing Pavilion doesn’t do things that force people to accompany guests. If he doesn’t go… I will.”

    The appearance of the man in red caused the qin music that had just started to play in the room to stop instantly.

    “Gongzi…” Hong Mama and Yun Gongzi respectfully called out, both somewhat shocked by Yan Zheng’s words.

    “Gongzi, you said you want to… accompany guests?”

    “Why? Is there a problem?” Yan Zheng raised his chin, arrogantly saying, “Could it be that this Gongzi is not as good-looking as him?”

    “That’s not it, Gongzi’s appearance is unmatched, but they specifically requested Yun Gongzi.”

    Hong Mama was a little speechless. Was this about looks? This was clearly going to make her lose her job as a stewardess.

    Yan Zheng said indifferently, “Then just pretend my surname is Yun. Besides, those ladies clearly said they wanted a male courtesan, and my looks are more than enough.”

    Hong Mama was also convinced by the ancestor in front of her. There were so many things he could play with, but he had to be a gigolo?

    “Not… not good, Hong Mama is afraid of being dismissed by the Madam.”

    “If Gongzi really wants to do that, why not go to Xiaoyue Tower next door? There are plenty of girls to accompany you.”

    Yan Zheng, upon hearing this, looked at Hong Mama as if she were an idiot. “Going to Xiaoyue Tower requires spending money. Accompanying guests is much better. Not only do I not spend money, but I can also earn money. Otherwise, Hong Mama, you’ll have to return that thousand taels of silver.”

    The corners of Hong Mama’s mouth twitched. Was that how the accounts were calculated? Was her Gongzi really that thrifty?

    Right… a thousand taels, how did Gongzi know she had received this extra thousand taels?

    Hong Mama suddenly looked enlightened. So, her Gongzi had taken a fancy to the beauty of those two ladies.

    Ah~, alright, alright! One for male beauty, one for female beauty, they’re a good match. But more importantly… she couldn’t stop him~

    Inside the Guangting Pavilion, Xiao Li and Jiang Jiuchu were sitting in front of a long table filled with fruits, snacks, and fine wine.

    Xiao Li’s eyes shone as she watched the handsome men enter one after another, each with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, their chests half-exposed.

    She swallowed and, after the handsome men stood in a line, she turned to look at Jiang Jiuchu, only to find her looking stunned and uneasy, as if she had never seen the world.

    She leaned over and whispered, “Hey, we’re already here, don’t be so timid. They were all hired with my hard-earned money to entertain us. Whoever you like, let them accompany you to drink, chat, and relieve boredom.”

    “Cough, cough…” Jiang Jiuchu cleared her throat and straightened her back uncomfortably. “No need, just have them play the qin and flute.”

    Xiao Li pouted, then scanned the crowd and asked, “Hey, which one of you is Yun Gongzi? Stand up and let this miss take a look.”

    “This one is Yun Gongzi.”

    Jiang Jiuchu and Xiao Li turned to look at the doorway and saw a man in red walking in, his appearance was magnificent and enchanting, stunning at first glance.

    Yan Zheng was still wearing that red outfit, but the originally neat collar was now loose, not as exposed as the other men, but even more suggestive.

    He walked up to the two of them, bowed slightly, and looked at them with a smile. “I’m sorry, I’m late. I’ve kept the two ladies waiting.”

    “No… no, it’s not late.” Xiao Li stared straight at Yan Zheng, leaned close to Jiang Jiuchu’s ear and said:

    “Oh my god, he’s too handsome. It’s really worth coming today.”

    After she finished speaking, she sat up straight again and waved her hand at the crowd, “Let’s start with a dance.”

    “Yes.” The handsome men lined up, and Yan Zheng went to the qin table on the side. As his qin music began to play.

    The handsome men began to sway their hips and twist their waists, their movements were indescribably ambiguous and seductive, and their eyes were constantly flirting with her, causing Jiang Jiuchu’s face to flush red, and she dared not look directly at them.

    At this time, she seemed to understand why men liked to watch women dance. It was really…

    Yan Zheng, who was playing the qin, saw Jiang Jiuchu’s red face, and the corners of his lips curved up. She was so flustered just watching a dance, and she even came to admire male beauty.

    “Oh, why is your face red?” Xiao Li turned her head and saw Jiang Jiuchu’s face was flushed, and said with disgust:

    “Have some dignity, don’t be so embarrassing, don’t let people think you are a pure white rabbit, here, you have to be the wolf, they are the rabbits.”

    Jiang Jiuchu pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, lowered her head and picked up the sliced ​​fruit in front of her and ate it herself.

    In Lanji Pavilion, Shí Yan was leaning on a couch covered with bear skin, half-asleep. The sound of Mu Huo’s footsteps entered his ears.

    He lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Feng who came in, closed his eyes again, and asked in a low voice, “What is it?”

    Mu Huo cupped his hands, but looking at his master, he didn’t have the courage to say it, he was afraid of being implicated by the Crown Princess and affecting them these small fries.

    Shí Yan didn’t hear Mu Huo’s reply for a long time, opened his eyes in confusion, saw Mu Huo’s hesitant look, put down the hand supporting his forehead, and asked seriously, “What is it?”

    Mu Huo swallowed and reported with a brave face, “That… the Crown Princess went to Yunqing Pavilion?”

    Shí Yan was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked Mu Huo, “So what?”
