The nine princesses of the East Palace

I feel that if I really jumped into the Yellow River, I won't be able to clean it up, but Yong Niang has already gone far, and I think it's too late to explain.

Li Chengyin was not afraid of Yongniang's misunderstanding at all, he only thought about going out to the brothel, and said to me: "Xiaofeng, get up quickly, I have already asked Shi En to prepare all the things and clothes needed. Yes. Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, tonight is the most suitable time, otherwise, once the Lantern Festival is over, there will be no chance."

I thought he was stabbed last time, and he had been lying in bed for half a month, and he had long forgotten about it. I didn't expect him to still remember it so clearly.

Sure enough, he had prepared a load of things, and without further ado, he dug out a set of civilian clothes and changed into them, uh, it seemed a bit awkward.

"Quickly see what things you need to bring. We'll go out as soon as it gets dark." Li Cheng Yin enthusiastically handed me the bulging bundle as if offering a treasure.

I didn't want to brush his mind, so I opened the bag and checked the contents.

First, I dug out a bag of black things, "Is this...a fake beard?" I asked.

Li Chengyin nodded.

"For what?" I asked.

"Disguise." Li Chengyin said, "This is very realistic, if you stick it on your face, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to recognize us."

"Oh." I listened, but angrily stuffed the fake beard back into the bag, and went to look for other things.

Suddenly he found two sets of black clothes and asked, "What are these used for?"

"This is called night clothes, you can fly over walls if you wear them." Li Chengyin looked at me and asked, "Do you want to wear it?"

"Take it and become a thief?" I asked back.

He probably knew it was wrong to wear it, so he shut up and didn't speak.

I continued to rummage through the baggage, found a few paper packages, and asked, "Where are these? What are they?"

Li Chengyin glanced at it, and said with some lack of confidence: "Probably... it's the sweat medicine."

Then I dug out ropes, masks, hammers and other things. I really didn't want to do any more, but I couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You don't need to bring any of these. We are going to drink wine and visit brothels, not to steal. It’s not about killing people! If you bring enough money, everything will be fine.”

"Oh." Li Chengyin responded, and then muttered in a low voice, "I didn't ask to prepare these, it was Shi En's own decision." He said with an aggrieved look.

I thought so too, he shouldn't be so childish.

Under my urging, Li Chengyin learned the lessons from the previous few times, and brought the money with him, and he brought a lot of money, the pile of gold horseshoes he brought could buy two Mingyufangs.

However, the men's suit he prepared for me was really ugly. As soon as I put it on, he started laughing at me. I glared at him several times before he couldn't stop laughing.

I remembered that when I sneaked out of the palace in the past, A'Du was there to protect me, so I said with emotion: "It would be great if A'Du was here."

"What are you doing Tiado?"

I said, "She is good at martial arts and can protect me."

Li Chengyin said with a straight face: "I am good at martial arts, I can protect you as well."

"But in case..."

"Why can't you say something nice just in case? Do you think I can't protect you?" His brows were tightly frowned.

I didn't say anything, just sighed, thinking to myself, last time I didn't know who was stabbed to death by an assassin, and I guarded him in fear for several days... I'd better pray that I don't meet any assassins.

As soon as it was getting dark, Li Chengyin and I sneaked out of the East Palace first, and then the Imperial Palace without anyone noticing...

I feel very happy. After working for half a month, I can finally go out of the palace to play. I really like to go out to play, because there are so many fun things to do in the capital. This time I brought Li Chengyin out as well. , I am even more happy. He is busier than me on weekdays, so he should take a good rest.

Just after I left the palace, it began to rain lightly. The rain at this time of the year sprinkled on my face, it was icy cold. I was really worried that it would rain heavily. Wouldn't it be impossible to see the lights tomorrow?

Fortunately, the rain stopped after only a short while, but the horseshoes would be a little slippery when stepping on the road paved with bluestone slabs. Be careful and slow down, or you will slip and fall.

There are many willow trees planted on both sides of the street, but the leaves have fallen long ago, and the bare branches are very conspicuous. It looks a little depressed, but because the shops on both sides are illuminated, it does not look obtrusive at all, but rather hazy. beauty.

Although today is only the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, countless colorful lights have been hung on the long street, colorful, lighting up the dark night sky, and the street is illuminated like daytime.

All kinds of restaurants and teahouses are full, people are everywhere, and the carriages coming and going are like flowing water, in an endless stream.

It turns out that Li Chengyin really didn't lie to me, the Shanghai before the festival is really more prosperous than before, I really look forward to tomorrow's arrival.

Mingyufang is also very lively, looking around, it is full of heads.Aunt Wang is the mother here, and all the girls here are under her care.Aunt Wang remembered me. As soon as she saw me, she opened her mouth and wanted to call me loudly. I hurriedly said, "Ma'am, it rained a little when we came, and our clothes were a little wet. Please find a room for us to change our clothes first." , In addition, this brother of mine is here for the first time, so he is afraid of strangers, so please keep quiet."

Aunt Wang sized up Li Chengyin, she didn't know what she saw, anyway, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, "Okay, okay, you two come with me"

Aunt Wang led us upstairs, and when we were halfway there, I asked, "Auntie, where is Miss Mingyue?"

Aunt Wang said: "A nobleman came earlier, and Mingyue went to play music."

Sister Mingyue is not only the oiran of Mingyufang, but also one of the best figures in the teaching workshops in Shangjing City. When ordinary dignitaries come, even if she is asked to play by name, she may not necessarily go. She has a cold temper and plays music as she pleases. This is known in the streets and alleys, and no one will make things difficult for her. It's just that she doesn't know the origin of this distinguished guest today, who is so capable.

My curiosity was aroused, so I asked Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang said: "This noble man is full of noble spirit, but as for the background, I can't know."

"Then which room are they in?" I pestered Aunt Wang, wanting to have a look at the nobleman, which made Aunt Wang very embarrassed, and she said: "My lord, don't be curious, this rule cannot be broken Besides, my old lady can't afford to offend these dignitaries."

I didn't give up, and asked several times, but Mrs. Wang just wouldn't let go, so I had no choice but to give up.

Aunt Wang was hospitable, and she probably saw that we were rich, so she was polite and courteous to us. Not only did she find us a gorgeous room, but she also gave us two sets of clothes of good material, and ordered two beautiful maids to wait for us to change our clothes. .

However, as soon as she left, I sent those two maids away.I don't want a maid to change clothes, otherwise I'll be exposed as a woman disguised as a man. As for Li Chengyin, I won't let other girls get close to him.

We quickly changed out of our wet clothes, I was thinking about how to meet the noble person that Aunt Wang was talking about, Li Chengyin asked: "What are you going to do later?"

I said: "Naturally, I have to go and see that nobleman. Sister Mingyue is kind and gentle, and she can be easily deceived. I can't let bad men take advantage of it."

After hearing this, Li Chengyin sneered, "I think you are easily deceived, do you know what a bad man is?"
