female concubine

The brothel in the south of Genyue is close to the imperial city and not far from Zhaoqingfang. Next to it is the old house of the late Princess Pingyang and his wife. The old house used to be the backyard of the Chu Palace. Many, well-informed.

It is also the time when people are appointed, which is the busiest time for this brothel.

"Why did the prince make an appointment here, but here..."

Two young men in plain clothes stood at the railing upstairs, and the speaker glanced downstairs. The woman under the gardenia lamp had a bearded appearance, thin clothes, her skin was faintly visible, and the undulating scenery of her chest was visible to the naked eye. He flirted with others very naturally, so he blushed and quickly looked away.

"If the princess finds out, Xiaguan will not be able to leave tomorrow with his legs."

"Always go to the house to look for you, which will arouse suspicion, but this place is the safest."

He was worried, "There are many people in the capital, especially in this kind of place, where good and evil are mixed."

The King of Chu shook his head and turned around. With a faint smile, he led him into an elegant room. After sitting down, he raised his head and asked, "How is Ma Junsi?"

"After Shentu's death, those commanders didn't dare to stay in the camp, so the lower officials took the opportunity to replace all the other commanders of Ma Junsi except Yunqi with their own. His Majesty will not find out if he is holding the three yamen."

"Even if you don't find out, the person in charge of the army is the most likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion, so you have to be extremely careful."

"Your Majesty understands."

"Besides, I'm not in Beijing. You secretly protect her for me. She doesn't know that you are mine."

The son-in-law asked hesitantly: "The prince said, is it Princess Chu?"

The King of Chu didn't answer, but said coldly: "Even if you lose an army of horses, you can't hurt her a little bit!"

"Yes!" The son-in-law cupped his hands, "It's just that Princess Chu's grandfather has a hundred thousand elite soldiers, and her father and uncle are important officials of the court. Beijing is undoubtedly the safest place for her."

"So this king just let you keep it secret."

"My lord is in a hurry to see you today, is it possible that you are leaving tomorrow?"

King Chu nodded, "Tomorrow will not be bright."

"Princess she..."

"My sister will trouble my brother-in-law to take care of me."

"Is it because you are afraid that the princess will be sad, that's why the prince sent the servants here?"

Parting is bitter, and the hard part is seeing each other hard and not knowing when to return. The King of Chu sighed, "I have only been back for less than a year. If I know my sister's temper, I will definitely go to Da Nei to find His Majesty."

"My lord has a long way to go to Qishan, and I'm afraid something will happen. Do you need to go down to inform the Hunan army on the way?"

The King of Chu shook his head, "Your Majesty weighs the three sides. They have the heart, but they don't have the guts. You are my king's secret game. The less people know about it, the better."

"Yes."

"There is one more thing, I need you to do it for me." Chu Chao waved him, and when the son-in-law approached, she leaned over and whispered in his ear, "..."

The person whose expression changed slightly immediately took a step back and cupped his hands, "Yes."

The king of Chu got up, went to the window and gently opened the window, "It's late at night, brother-in-law, go back, so that sister-in-law won't worry, the carriage is in the backyard, just ask the servant who serves tea to take you there."

The person who was about to leave was quite surprised by King Chu's instructions, and asked hesitantly, "Does your lord come here often?"

The King of Chu sat down again, picked up the teacup and turned his head, and smiled at his son-in-law, "Regular customer!"

The son-in-law looked at his wife and brother, and suddenly remembered that in just five years, except for the three years in Sichuan, in two years, he may have visited dozens of brothels in the entire Tokyo city!

The son-in-law put his hands on his hands and coughed softly: "My lord is in his youth, at the time when he is just full of vigor, it is not good to have too many such things, it needs to be restrained."

Her brother-in-law's words made her almost spit out the tea she drank, she swallowed it repeatedly and said, "Hurry up and go back, brother-in-law, it's getting late."

"The subordinate retire."

The King of Chu touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you really think I'm here to have fun?"

"Six sons!"

"Hey, here we come!" Little Six heard the sound and entered.

"The tea is rotten, what a broken courtyard, call my mother!"

"Yes!"

The six sons went out to catch a girl and shouted out the exact words of the king of Chu, asking him to take his mother to the private room.

"Hey, it may be that the hot weather has changed the taste of the tea, so it's no good for the servants to come to accompany the officials." A woman in her forties who still has a charming appearance entered the room.

The softness in the eyes is born in the bones, one can see how magnificent this woman was in the brothel when she was young, the six sons of the woman went out and closed the door after entering the brothel.

"Don't let me catch the servant who served the tea, or I'll have to skin him to make amends to the officials!"

King Chu clapped his hands and praised: "Aunt Yun's singing is getting better and better!"

Mom narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Compared to you, master, what is Yun Shu's shady stuff?"

The King of Chu smiled and said: "Compared to singing, we are not as good as Lanyuelou's mother!"

Mother lowered her head, changed her previous smile, raised her head and asked with concern: "Master, why did you come in person today when you have time? Those servants didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

The King of Chu lay down on the couch, and said leisurely: "The rich are all masters, how dare they neglect!"

"That's what I said, but you are different. You are the slave family and their real master."

The King of Chu rested his head on his hand and stared at the beam quietly, "How is it these days?"

"The affairs of the two girls have been properly arranged. Although they came out of our courtyard, they don't know anything about the backyard. This time they got involved and lost their lives..."

The King of Chu frowned, "I didn't think carefully about this matter, which led to such a result."

"At the end of the day, the master is just an ordinary person, wicked and ruthless, so there is nothing he can do, but because they came out of our courtyard, it will not make others suspicious if the slave family arranges their affairs. Their relatives sent them to Yangzhou, bought a house, and sent their two youngest sons to a private school."

"This matter, please worry about it."

"You saved my family's life. Even if you don't tell me about such a trivial matter, my family will do it."

King Chu nodded slightly.

Mother went on to say: "I heard that the grand nephew is going to make that lady of the Shen family as queen, the whole Shen family seems to have changed their family, and when their people come to a place like ours, they don't even look down on the lords of the yamen! "

"Ms. Shen used to be a concubine, so the Shen family had to be considered a concubine. Now that Mrs. Shen is going to be a queen, the Shen family has suddenly become a relative. Naturally, it is different!" King Chu turned his head and said: "I will leave tomorrow, maybe I won't be back for a few years."

Mother exclaimed, "The master is leaving, but the slave family has not heard the news that King Chu is leaving Beijing?"

"It's an expatriate. There is no edict, only a transfer order. Few people even know about it."

Mother worried: "Although I don't know where the master is going, but the attitude of the one above is definitely not a good place."

"It's neither good nor bad. At least you don't need to blow the sea breeze. I came today to tell you something."

"But according to the master's order, Yun Shu will never give up!"

"Continue to keep an eye on the news from Beijing, and if there is any disturbance, find a way to send the news to a female envoy named Xichun in Chu Palace."

"Yun Shu knows."

"In addition, I will tell you the place where I am going to work. Although there is a mansion newspaper in Beijing, the news of the place is not comprehensive, so I want to let this hook be my eyes."

Mom laughed and said, "You built this small yard all by yourself, so it's always been your eyes!"

The King of Chu laughed and said, "Aunt Yun will take care of it herself, so I can rest assured!"

"Then Liu Shi, do you still need to bring it back?"

The King of Chu shook his head, and took out a neatly packed piece of paper, "You take her body deed first."

"I don't understand. You spent a lot of money to redeem her, but you still let her stay in Lanyuelou. In the end, you let the mother of Lanyuelou accompany you in a play, and only let the champion spend two thousand gold to get her Redeeming the person not only gave him the deed, but also let Mrs. Liu go to his house..."

The King of Chu smiled again, and pointed to the contract of sale on the table, "Isn't this, we earned two thousand gold for nothing!"

"However..." King Chu immediately stopped laughing, "You have to be extremely careful when giving information. There are many things that I don't need to tell the princess. Regarding the Liu family, I didn't tell her the truth..."

"The master's thoughts are known to the slave family, and they are afraid that the princess will be involved in this danger with you, but the master should know better than the slave family what kind of person the princess is. Before the master went to Sichuan, the slave family asked the slave family to investigate the Longde family Girls, it just so happens that she returned to the Xiao family from Jinling within a few days after the master went to Sichuan."

After hearing this, the king of Chu laughed and said, "Sister is destined to be my man, why miss the three years!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, a big wedding has happened so fast that the servants almost don't know if this is their own master, but... if they come to the brothel late at night, they are not afraid that the mistress will not let her in from now on. Are you in bed yet?"

King Chu smiled and said, "You don't know her, she is a gentle person, she is reluctant to hurt me, but I," looking at the screen, softened immediately, "How can I be willing to hurt her."

The King of Chu touched the edge of the clothes hidden in Yuan's leader again, "I made the bet right, and I won't let her lose the bet!"

Mother has gone through hardships, especially in this kind of romantic place, and she is used to being passionate and ruthless, and those who are infatuated are often women. Seeing the firmness in the master's eyes and the caring tone, she reminded: "If the master decides, you can It's better to spread it out early. The slave family is a woman who knows what a woman thinks, and hides it. It's distrust. If the mistress finds out by herself, even if she doesn't complain, she will always feel sad in her heart. So sincerity is more important than anything else.”

"I know, but the situation is still unstable now, and I don't know how long I will be away. I will tell her everything after the matter is settled."

The King of Chu got up, changed his former ease, and walked forward with his hands behind his back, "If the central palace is established, within three years, there will be great changes in the imperial court. This king hopes that this courtyard can continue to exist!"

"Yun Shu must be cautious and swear to guard the hard work of the master."

The standing arrow in the kettle gradually rose, and at the exact moment, someone called out loudly: "Hai Shi, seven quarters!"

The calm face of King Chu changed suddenly, "It's seven quarters!" He turned around immediately, "Hey, I should go back, I will spare you today, and I won't care about this tea with you anymore!"

Seeing his rare anxious appearance, his mother smiled and said, "It's only seven quarters in the evening, and the drums for the second watch haven't even sounded yet!"

The King of Chu just shook his head with hasty steps, "Aunt Yun just needs to remember what the King said."

"Yes."

Not long after, there was a sound of horseshoes in the backyard, along with the rumble of wheels all the way to Zhaoqingfang.

In the alley there is a bellman beating the gong, "It's time for Haishi!"

As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard two gongs from the watchman. King Chu quickened his pace and saw that there was no one in the lighted room.

So he asked anxiously, "Where is the princess?"

"If you go back to the sixth king, the concubine was called into the palace by His Majesty less than a moment after you left, and she hasn't returned yet."

The king of Chu was shocked, and the second watch was still in Da Nei, "What!"
