Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Remember, a girl's body is very valuable. We don't sell anything else but emotional value, enthusiasm, and the impulses and feelings of the gentlemen in order to get their money.

The main purpose is not only to empty their pockets, but to give consumers the same value while emptying their pockets, so that consumers feel that it doesn’t matter if they don’t have enough money in their pockets, they can get more next time.

Feeling that the training was almost complete, the madam set down the rules. The Wanhualou she built was not a brothel, but a high-end, classy place that she had invested huge sums of money to develop. It was not a place to have fun, but a place for shared entertainment.

……

Soon, Wanhualou’s first new star debut night officially began.

According to different names, those who dance are called dancers, those who play the piano are called zither players, those who perform vocal music are called musicians, those who taste wine and appreciate flowers are called poets, and those who can accompany people at night are called night players.

The first day was crowded. All the patrons brought enough money with them. After watching the Flying Dance, they almost spent all the money on buying flower baskets. After watching the stage play, they felt the romance, joys and sorrows on the stage and almost felt the same way. After the play, they went to listen to music, drink wine and appreciate flowers.

Feeling that he was in the mood, he wanted to find a prostitute to spend the night with, but was told that the new stars only sold their art and not their bodies. Later, when he found someone who could spend the night with him, he realized that he did not bring enough money, and in a daze, his pocket was empty.

Some learned prostitutes could even compose a few lines of poetry, which made those sour scholars very excited. However, they could not help spending money. Soon, all the money was spent like water. In the end, they had to reluctantly leave Wanhua Tower...

……

The model of Wanhualou is actually to attract prostitutes, but customers who want to stay overnight can only choose from girls who are willing to sell their bodies. If they reach an agreement, they can cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. If they cannot reach an agreement and want to cause trouble, Tinghe doesn't care who they are. She has hired many escorts at high prices to guard the place, and those who cause trouble will be beaten out. She also has the madam act as a loudspeaker to spread the news about the consequences of wanting to get something for free without money.

For three consecutive days, it was quite lively. Those prostitutes seemed like fairies from the mortal world, detached from the mundane world. Apart from smiling at the guests, there was not much interaction between them, which made people feel itchy.

But after the dance they were told that they could do nothing but dance. Some people felt unbalanced and asked the dancers to drink and sleep with them, but they were all taught a lesson by the escorts.

The Northwest is not Shengjing, and it is far away from the emperor. If it did not have some connections and strength, could the Wanhua Tower have stood in the Northwest for so many years?

Three days later, business had obviously slowed down, which made the madam feel distressed. She cursed and thought Tinghe was unreliable and that no one would come after just three days.

Ting He told her that those people probably had run out of money and couldn't come.

He also said that it would be good to wait until the reputation spreads further, and it would be best to invite a few prominent and powerful masters to come and experience our series of performances, but we must not sell ourselves, and we must build our reputation.

Let everyone feel that this rule is normal. Haven't you seen that the big names in the northwest are abiding by the rules? After so long, those individual visitors have a benchmark in their minds and will no longer have other ideas just because they sell art but not their bodies.

From now on, everyone’s focus will not be on sleeping this or that, but on how good the performances here are and who performed better.

……

When the madam heard Ting He's brainwashing, she immediately thought it made sense. She prepared valuable gifts and visited powerful forces in the northwest, inviting them to come to Wanhua Tower to enjoy the scenery.

The Northwest is the fiefdom of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. The Prince of Qi is your Majesty's elder brother. Although they are not born from the same mother, they have had a good relationship since childhood. After your Majesty became emperor, the Prince of Qi asked for the fiefdom to come to this desolate land in the northwest to station there and protect the people on the front line.

The Prince of Qi had a wife and a concubine. His wife was the daughter of the Emperor's tutor, and his concubine was the concubine's daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

It is true that the daughter of the imperial tutor is not as powerful as the Duke of Zhenguo, but who can blame the King of Qi for only loving his wife and not his concubines?

The Duke Zhenguo tried every possible means to force the King of Qi to marry his concubine's daughter as his co-wife, but failed. When asking for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, His Majesty verbally agreed, but the imperial decree stated that the Duke Zhenguo's concubine's daughter was made a concubine, not even a concubine.

Although he offended the Duke Zhenguo, His Majesty was satisfied in his heart. The daughter of the imperial tutor and the Prince of Qi were deeply in love. For some reason, the Duke Zhenguo insisted on marrying his concubine's daughter into the Prince of Qi's mansion. His Majesty could not refuse the Duke Zhenguo's request, so he thought of this method to slap the Duke Zhenguo in the face.

At this point, the King of Qi had a wife and a concubine, but over the years, there was only one son born to the Queen of Qi.

The concubine had not been pregnant for a long time and always said that she was weak, in a bad mood and missed her family. So she asked the Princess of Qi to let her niece, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, come to keep her company.

The Princess of Qi was a good person, so she agreed to her request. This concubine's daughter stayed with him for three years.

The Duke of Zhenguo has an eldest son born out of wedlock and a youngest son born out of wedlock.

The eldest son Wang Yaozu and the second son Wang Meiyan were born to the same mother, both of whom were born to Aunt Jiang. The youngest son Wang Ziyu was born to the mistress of the house, and there were no other children.

Because the Duke of Zhenguo favored Concubine Jiang alone, he showed more care and concern for his eldest son and daughter. When he learned that his daughter wanted to marry into the Prince of Qi's mansion as a co-wife and be called the Princess, he asked His Majesty to grant the marriage. Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not play by the rules. Since he could not refuse, he made your own daughter a concubine and she could not even become a concubine.

He was still hoping that the concubine would replace the Princess of Qi and become the principal princess, so His Majesty issued an imperial decree, ordering the Prince of Qi to go to the northwest to garrison the border.

This has been twenty years.

The concubine's daughter had no children for twenty years, so the emperor no longer paid much attention to her. When he heard that the concubine's daughter wanted the eldest son's daughter to accompany her, he sent someone to send his granddaughter, Wang Xiaotong, to live with her. The granddaughter had been here for three years, and she refused to stay in Shengjing, insisting on staying in the military camp and coexisting with the Prince of Qi's Mansion.

After understanding these basic backgrounds, Ting He asked the madam to prepare some practical things and send them to Prince Qi's mansion. She also asked Prince Qi to bring his family with him, not for romance, but just to watch the show.

As expected, the Prince of Qi's Mansion, which received food and cloth, did not refuse. They said that they would bring their families to watch the performance and politely sent the madam away.

With the invitation from Prince Qi's Palace, the powerful people in the northwest followed suit and accepted the invitation from Wanhua Tower.

Three days later, Wanhua Tower had rehearsed the welcome ceremony, waiting for Prince Qi to come in person. Just as Tinghe expected, Prince Qi really came with his family. Except for the concubine who was too sick to get up, Prince Qi, Princess Consort, and only son all came, but they also brought a woman dressed as a man.

……

Having never seen such scenes as pulling banners, dancing with cheerleaders, and a warm welcome, the King of Qi and his entourage felt both curious and embarrassed, and entered the Wanhua Tower with fake smiles on their faces.
