love concubine

Yerong Jingge is located in the most prosperous place in the capital.Built on the side of the pond, the building is three stories high.The balconies on all sides of each floor are hung with colorful lanterns.And at the door, there is a pair of couplets that are mysterious and empty: the wind is rustling, and the new moon is dim.

"Follow." After the prince finished speaking, he stepped into the Ye Rong Jing Pavilion.

At this moment, I am wearing an ordinary plain yellow robe and an ordinary folding fan under my belt.A small bundle of hair was casually tied behind the head, wrapped in a light yellow cloth, and tied with a hair tie.On the contrary, the prince walking in front of me has the aura of a famous family.Although his dark blue clothes were considered plain, the crane and deer jasper hanging from his waist was also hidden under the long clothes.But when he walks with his head held high and his hands behind his back, a kind of luxurious air emerges spontaneously.

I shyly followed behind the prince, and stepped into this home before I became a male concubine.

Groups of Wen Gongzis on the road turned their heads to look back from time to time, and some even nodded to him and called him "Prince".He nodded back and continued walking without smiling.I walked behind the prince, feeling like I was his book boy.I looked around secretly, but I felt that the interior decoration was completely new, and the sisters performing arts did not have a familiar face.I can't help but wonder, could it be that the Ye Rong Jing Pavilion has changed hands after only one year?

I followed the prince to the Accord on the second floor.He suddenly whispered to me, "Later, I will introduce you to two people. You have to get to know them well, and express your dissatisfaction with our Cui family to them."

"Huh?..." I secretly wondered, since I came with the prince, why did I lie about being dissatisfied with the Cui family?

"Understood?" As we walked further and further, this place is already a wing room with a narrow corridor, and there are rows of beautiful partition doors on both sides.

"Yes, my lord." I nodded vigorously.Although I don't understand why the prince wants me to do this, I can't believe that he has his own reasons.

We came to the innermost wing.The prince whispered to me, "Laugh more. Take it easy."

"What?" I looked up at him, only to see him smiling softly, which made me blush again.

Then as soon as the door was pushed open, there was a warm welcome from inside.

"My lord! Long time no see!"

"Haha! Your lord must be exhausted from staying with the princess for the past few days!"

"My lord! Please! We were talking just now, I don't know if my lord will come today!"

Inside the room, four sons dressed as scholars were shaking folding fans.Two of them were sitting by the balcony and were playing chess, while the other two sat around the round table drinking tea and chatting.

The prince introduced them to me one by one, and I smiled politely, but I couldn't remember so many names for a while.

"My lord, this is...?" They pointed at me curiously.

Then the prince introduced, "He's just our concubine. I'm bored today, so I just took him out for a stroll."

I stared blankly for a moment, my heart ached like ice thorns.Why... the lord said that I look like a dog in his family...

"Male concubine? Could it be Mr. Ji who was playing the piano in Rongjing Pavilion at Yerong and was later married back by Princess Ziyin?"

With a heavy heart, I raised my eyes and looked lightly, and I recognized the speaker as Mr. Mo sitting in front of the round table and wearing a lake green robe.His name seems to be Mo Wenxi... He is the second son of Boss Mo who has been doing business outside the Great Wall for many years.

Hearing him talk about me like that, I could only smile wryly, "Young Master Mo is laughing. Ke Xue's qin skills are rough, and she's a good axeman. She really can't be called a qin player."

He smiled frankly, "Young master Ji is too polite! My father and I often came to Yerong Jingge before. My father is obsessed with the master's piano skills!"

I was so blushing that I didn't know how to answer, Mr. Mo turned his face and asked the lord again, "Why is your lord in such a good mood today? Will you invite Mr. Ji to come to Ye Rong Jing Pavilion together?"

The prince hooked his lips and smiled lightly, walked to the two people beside the balcony, and answered casually, "I like it, so I brought it here." Then he sat down among the two people and talked about the chess game together.

I was still standing at the door blankly, not knowing what I should do for a moment.I saw the prince with his back to me chatting excitedly with those two people, as if they had forgotten my existence.

"Mr. Ji," I came back to my senses in astonishment. It turned out that Mr. Mo was calling me, "Do you like tea?"

"Hmm...not bad."

"Then come and sit down." He smiled broadly.Then he poured me a cup of tea and let me sit beside him.

I thank Mr. Mo for his invitation.Picking up the teacup with both hands and timidly drinking it, he couldn't help but glance at the prince on the balcony out of the corner of his eyes.To actually say that I am just a male concubine, and you took me out to hang out because I was bored... It's too hurtful to self-esteem...

"Master Ji, what do you think of this tea?"

"Uh huh?!..." I was taken aback by his sudden question, and I choked on the tea, which overflowed from my lips.

Seeing this, the two young masters at the same table couldn't help but smile politely.

Mr. Mo patted me on the back, "Mr. Ji, are you okay?"

"Hmm! It's okay, it's okay!" This time I was really embarrassed!Just met... and left such an impression...

"Master Ji is so cute, no wonder His Royal Highness likes it so much." Mr. Mo said nonchalantly.

But I couldn't help being taken aback, "Cute?!"

"Ah! Young Master Ji, don't mind. Mo Mou didn't mean to make fun of it. I just think it's really rare that Young Master Ji can be as innocent and cute as a child despite being born in a brothel."

"Ke Xue didn't come from a brothel... She just came to the capital because of something, but she had nowhere to go. Thanks to Sister Fu's help, she lived in Ye Rong Jing Pavilion and made a living playing piano..."

"Young Master Ji has such a rough past?! So, becoming a male concubine is a good thing?"

"Kexue..." I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the prince wants me to pretend that I don't like the Cui family?Eh? !Could it be that the prince wants me to sound out something to these two sons? !I immediately changed my words and replied, "Well...Ke Xue originally felt quite happy and carefree in Ye Rong Jing Pavilion. But after becoming a male concubine, there are many rules. Not only can she not go out casually, but she is also often looked down upon by others, she is like a servant Not as good."

"But why did the lord bring you out today?" the son who had been sitting opposite me finally asked.

The son's awe-inspiring appearance is somewhat similar to the prince's.He was dressed in a gray-green robe, waving a folding fan in one hand, and occasionally raising a cup to drink tea with the other.This son is the eldest son of the prefect of the capital, Qian Shu.

"This... Koxue doesn't know..."

Then the two young masters looked at each other, as if secretly conveying some clear meaning.

In the rest of the time, I chatted with the two sons.There were bursts of laughter from the balcony from time to time, which made me very concerned, and I only dared to peek sideways.

At noon, the young masters said they had to be busy, so they left and scattered.Before my lord and I left, Mr. Mo specially handed over the jade pendant around his waist to me.Said that if I have the opportunity to come out next time, I must visit his house as a guest.I just need to hand over the jade pendant, and his family will treat me well.I thanked me with a wry smile, but I sighed sadly in my heart: I don't know how long it will be before I can come out next time.

"What did Mo Wenxi say to you just now?" the prince asked calmly.

We have already left Ye Rong Jing Pavilion, walking in the busy street at noon.

"Ke Xue pretended that she was pitiful in the palace, so Mr. Mo invited Ke Xue to play at his house when she had time..." Hmph!look!I have done everything you asked me to do!Even if you humiliate me so mercilessly... say "just a male concubine" and "bring me out because I'm bored"...

"He gave you the jade pendant, didn't he?"

"Huh? It's..." I timidly turned out the jade pendant in the skirt. "this……"

"Well. Put it away." He didn't even look at it, just said that.

Let's keep going.But I followed behind the prince, and it didn't look like I was going back to the palace.Does the prince have anything else to do?  …

The street at noon is very lively.Although the sun was shining and most of the people were hiding in taverns and inns, there were still some people walking on the street, rushing to buy the last vegetables and meat for their meals.Some hawkers are also trying their best to call out, hoping to sell out their things early and go home early.

"Master Ji, is there any place you want to go?" Unexpectedly, the prince asked.

"Huh? No..." Doesn't the prince have something to do?

"Is there anything to buy?"

"Hmm... none..."

The prince suddenly sighed, "It's rare for you to come out, don't you have anything you want to do?"

"Um?!"

"Bookstore, piano house, tavern. Which one do you want to go to?"

"What?!..." I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say.Could it be that the prince took me all the way just to hang out with me? !

"Tsk. I'm hungry." He suddenly announced, "Let's find something to eat first. Let me know when you think of it."
