The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

In the East Market, the streets and alleys are lined with shops and stalls, and people come and go, making the place quite lively.

But I still remember my grandfather saying that it was much more prosperous during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Chang'an was the capital of the country and many foreigners came to pay tribute. After seeing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, they decided to settle here, but most of them couldn't even get a number.

So it was not surprising that merchants of different skin colors, different clothes and different languages ​​came and went. However, after the devastating war, it was not as good as before.

Li Xiying looked around at the store signs everywhere, and before she knew it, she had arrived at a lacquered building as she had wished.

This is the first brothel I saw in the East Market.

Several graceful and chirping women were standing by the door, greeting passers-by by swaying their waists and shuffling their feet. Occasionally, a wealthy scholar would respond, and they would immediately put on a brilliant smile to greet him.

As if sensing Li Xiying's gaze from afar, one of the women walked in. After a while, she pulled out an older woman, called her mother, and whispered a few words in her ear.

The madam shaved her hair and pursed her pubic hair. Her eyes became more and more passionate as she looked at Li Xi. Her delicate features, her delicate eyebrows, and her delicate and lazy demeanor made people reluctant to look away. She then said, "Madam, are you here to look for someone?"

Li Xixiao not only felt the strange look of the madam, but also felt the strange looks from the people around her, but she said without hesitation: "Yes, may I ask if there is a lady named 'Shanluo' here?"

"Shan Luo?" The boss rolled his eyes. "We don't have any lady named Shan Luo here. Are you talking about her original name?" The madam came closer and closer, as if she was very close. Then she walked around behind her and looked her up and down. "The ladies here all have nicknames. There are dozens of ladies here. I can't remember their original names, but..."

After saying that, he took Li Xi's arm and walked inside, "If you join us in Xunle Tower, it won't be difficult to find it slowly."

Although he spoke in a questioning tone, he was actually pulling her openly and secretly. However, the strange thing was that Li Xiying was very cooperative.

She was brought into the brothel in full view of everyone. All the male guests and female entertainers on both sides looked over when they heard the sound, with expressions of surprise in their distracted gazes.

Most people were wondering, did this woman know where she came from? Nowadays, even if a well-known woman knew that her husband was having a life of debauchery, she would not dare to go to a brothel to rescue him. So what was wrong with this woman?

Li Xi looked around at the women, most of whom were young and beautiful. He often heard male customers call prostitutes "fairies" and describe brothels as "fairies on earth."

There were too many women, and it was hard to recognize them without seeing them, so he said to the madam: "Please call all the ladies here and ask them."

"There's no rush for that." The madam responded with an uncontrollable smile and whispered something to the woman beside her. She poured a cup of tea for Li Xiying and said, "Have a cup of tea first."

After a while, a piece of paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were brought over.

The three characters "Selling Contract" were written on the paper.

"Selling body indenture?" Li Xiying read the words on the paper without changing her expression. She did not read the rest of the words. Did she think she could not read? She raised her lips and smiled: "Mom, you are really anxious. Although I came here on purpose, I am not stupid enough to want to sell myself. If the matter is not done, do I have to sacrifice myself?"

"Aren't you talking about finding someone? How can someone be that easy to find? Now that you come here, you're the top prostitute with your looks, so shouldn't it be easy for you to find someone? Haha, how can you expect the horse to run without eating grass? You have to throw a stone first to ask for directions, right? Besides, this is not a men's house. Since you're already inside, how can a woman get away with it?" The old procuress said with a smile, her thoughts were self-evident. She poured tea slowly and drank it with a proud look on her face.

I have never seen a literate woman in this day and age who can go to a brothel to look for men. She can afford to read, so her family must be good. Maybe she is the descendant of a down-and-out scholar and has a free master like the talented Yu Xuanji decades ago?

No matter who she is, it’s a good thing that she’s here!

It's just that her clothes are too ordinary. However, with a little dressing up, such a beautiful look will surely become popular throughout the city of Chang'an, and other music schools will be unable to imitate her.

Normally, he has a way to deal with these mischievous girls. How can he let go easily if he has such a young and seemingly innocent beauty in his hands?

If it were an ordinary and aggressive person, she might have slammed the table and pointed at the madam and cursed her, or she might have been submissive and dared not say no, but she was the dignified Princess Tangxing, so how could she just let it go?

"I'm here to look for someone. Her name is Shanluo. If even you don't know whether she is with you or not, then call all the women here and ask them one by one." Li Xiying also took a sip of tea. She was not influenced by the madam and spoke in her usual princess style without any hesitation.

"Young lady, you really know how to avoid the important and focus on the trivial. Just sign the name and press the finger first, and everything will be fine." The madam dipped the pen in the inkstone and handed it to her. She blatantly grabbed her wrist and forced her to hold it, her eyes sharp and cunning.

Li Xixuan was not panicked. She pushed the pen away calmly, her lips parted, "Can I just sign a contract to sell my body? I have grandparents, mother, grandfather, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, maids and servants, hundreds of people. I can't say I'm from a famous family, but I can say I'm a slightly prominent family. If I'm forced to put my fingerprints on it today, those relatives will come to me in the future and I'm afraid they can find a reason to turn your building into black dust."

The words were spoken in a calm and peaceful manner.

The madam put down her teacup. She was not frightened by her words, but she was a little skeptical. This girl dared to say anything without hesitation. She came to the brothel to look for someone and spoke without hesitation. She couldn't help but say, "If you were a well-known family, why would you come to me to look for someone? Since you are sold here, you can never get rid of your status as a whore. Aren't you afraid of losing your reputation if you set foot here?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm just looking for someone, not here to cause trouble, right?" Li Xiqi asked with a smile.

She had grown up in the melting pot of the palace and had seen all kinds of scenes.

Even if this brothel is backed by a big shot, it cannot withstand them causing trouble and unnecessary trouble.

The madam saw that Li Xi's tone and even her expression were not affected at all from beginning to end. It seemed that she had an innate ability to make people feel that they were at a loss for words. She did not seem to be like the ladies of ordinary families, who were harsh and rude in their words or timid and submissive. Even among the aristocratic women who had seen some of the world, she must be a leader, with considerable intelligence and courage.

If it was a prominent family, wouldn't they be offended? The madam denied her previous guess. If she was smart, she wouldn't have come to look for the person herself. She could have just sent someone to look for her.

After thinking it over, there is only one conclusion. If this girl wasn't spoiled, how could she be so ignorant as to go to a brothel? Maybe she is relying on her status and strong foundation.

I thought there was no such thing as a free lunch, but I still tried to find out: "Whose family is this lady from?"
