The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

Since I have redeemed her and given her a bond, I don't have to worry about her going back on her word.

Shui Rong chuckled, picked up the fragrant tea on the table and took a sip, and said calmly: "This young master believes that Miss Du Yuejiao is a person of integrity, or Miss Du can give it a try."

It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is whether Du Yuejiao dares to do it. If Shui Rong wants to harm her, she will have no place to stay in Daqian. I believe that with Du Yuejiao's ability to maneuver, she should be very clear about it.

As expected, Du Yuejiao lowered her head and said nothing. She obviously understood the implication of Shui Rong's words. How could she, a prostitute, resist the wrath of a young man?

After a moment, Du Yuejiao smiled again and said tenderly, "Since my young master has spoken, I will obey you."

Shui Rong understood what was said and agreed to the offer, which made Shui Rong feel comfortable. The reason why he chose Du Yuejiao was, firstly, she was good at handling things and could control the situation, and secondly, her identity as a prostitute was a good shield. Even if outsiders knew that Shui Rong had something to do with the guild, they would only guess that she had an affair with him, and therefore give her special care. In this way, others would only treat it as an ordinary matter and would not damage the reputation of Prince Beijing's Mansion and the royal family.

As for whether the guild hall is profitable? Gentlemen know each other, the flesh trade is lowly, and not getting it is the best, so they will never be stingy with their money in the hope of getting the beauty to treat them differently.

Shui Rong then discussed the affairs of the guild with Du Yuejiao. Half an hour later, Shui Rong raised his teacup and invited her, "Miss Du, to celebrate our happy cooperation, why don't we drink tea instead of wine together?"

Du Yuejiao smiled sweetly, raised her glass and clinked it with his, and said in a clear voice: "Thank you for your kindness, young master. I will drink first as a token of my respect."

As she spoke, Du Yuejiao covered her face with her long sleeves and drank the whole drink in one gulp.

Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this. He drank the tea in his hand, then stood up and said, "Miss Du, it's getting late. I'll go back first and come back to redeem you in two days."

He had been out for quite some time, and it was already evening. If he returned home too late, the two women in the mansion would be extremely worried.

Du Yuejiao's face was slightly stunned. The negotiation was in full swing and her interest was aroused, but the young man was leaving. What should such a delicate girl like her do?

Thinking of this, Du Yuejiao said with a look of resentment: "Young Master, you are leaving now. You are so heartless."

Shui Rong's face turned black when he heard this. How could he be so heartless? Why were his words so ambiguous and easy to be misunderstood?

"Miss Du, I will be your boss from now on, so it's better to avoid referring to me as Xiaolangjun."

Shui Rong is not young, why call him little young master?

Du Yuejiao smiled slyly when she heard this, and said in a clear voice: "Yes, I will listen to you, young master."

…Hey, this little bitch definitely did it on purpose.

Chapter 27 The Little Slut of the Dog Zodiac

Fengming Courtyard, Du Yuejiao's small courtyard.

The walls of the house were covered with light green water-gauze window paper with embossed patterns, and a purple fragrant wood phoenix-tail harp was hung on the wall. In the front stood a small lacquered bed with a green gauze curtain embroidered with hibiscus hanging above it. On the table stood a four-cornered copper stove, which emitted wisps of smoke that was rich and fragrant.

Lian Er came in with a teacup in her hand. Seeing her young lady sitting at the square table, her beautiful eyes staring at the flickering candlelight, she seemed to be thinking about something. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Young lady, what are you thinking about?"

Du Yuejiao came back to her senses, took the teacup handed to her by Lian'er, and shook it gently, saying, "I'm not thinking about anything."

Lian Er looked at Du Yue Jiao with a slightly hesitant expression. After a moment, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Miss, do you really want to leave here and go to that damn guild hall?"

Shui Rong had been discussing with Du Yuejiao before, and Lian'er was serving beside them. She heard their conversation clearly.

Hearing this, Du Yuejiao looked up at Lian'er and chuckled, "Why, do you think the young master's club is not a good place to go?"

Lian'er hurriedly shook her head. Although she was a maid, she was not ignorant. If it was true as Shui Rong said, then the guild hall was a paradise for prostitutes like them. How could it not be a good place to go?

"I'm afraid that young master is trying to coax my young lady. My young lady's life is already hard enough, how can she bear to be coaxed again." After hesitating for a while, Lian'er expressed her doubts. As Shui Rong said, such a good thing was really hard to believe.

Du Yuejiao was dazed when she heard this. Yes, she had been fooled once and couldn't stand it anymore.

After a light sigh, Du Yuejiao came back to her senses and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The young man is of noble status and won't coax me."

Although Shui Rong did not reveal his identity, Du Yuejiao already had a guess in her mind. He was not afraid of anyone in the entire capital except the imperial city. Considering Shui Rong's age, he was most likely a royal noble, but it was difficult to say it out loud.

Lian Er frowned when she heard this and said, "Miss, do you trust that young master so much? He even ridiculed you before."

Lian'er didn't forget to write lyrics to ridicule her own lady.

Du Yuejiao shook her head slightly upon hearing this, but did not answer. In her heart, she still believed what the young man said, because she could feel his sincerity from his words and actions. Although those dignitaries in the past were polite in front of him, she could feel their arrogance. However, talking with the young man gave her a strange feeling, that is, it was an equal discussion, without any so-called discrimination. The conversation was extremely relaxed and comfortable, which was a pleasure she had never felt before, so she always liked to "squeeze" him with words.

"Okay, I know you are worried about me, but what can I do to please you, young master? Is it worth spending so much money?"

Lian Er curled her lips upon hearing this and snorted, "I'm just afraid that young man wants to cheat Miss of her body."

If you deceive someone, you must have a purpose. What else can you want besides the lady's body? I know my lady's body well. She has a round and full buttocks and a graceful figure. I wonder how many men she can charm.

Du Yuejiao sneered and said self-deprecatingly, "What's the point of getting a withered flower? Besides, didn't the young master say he would pay for the redemption? In that case, I have nothing to lose. I can just give it to him. The young master is so handsome, so I won't suffer any loss."

Lian'er looked at the smile on Du Yuejiao's beautiful face and couldn't help feeling distressed. Although the young lady's words and actions were frivolous, she did not serve the guests herself. She was just making fun of herself by talking so lightly at this time.

"Miss, you are right. I think that young master is sincere and will definitely not lie."

Hearing this, Du Yuejiao raised her eyes to look at Lian'er, her eyes gradually became gentle, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You are so sweet, little hoof, I will take you with me when the time comes."

"Really? Miss, don't lie to me." Lian'er's eyes lit up when she heard that. Although she was a maid, she was working in a brothel after all and was a prostitute. Her future fate was obvious. If she went to the guild hall with Du Yuejiao, her life would remain unchanged, but at least she wouldn't have to worry.

Du Yuejiao smiled and cursed, "Why should I coax you? Besides, I'm not used to not having you around."

Lian Er smiled and said, "I can't bear to leave Miss either!!!"

As a maid, she hopes to meet a good master. Du Yuejiao is a friendly person, and she doesn't want to leave such a good master.

The master and servant smiled at each other. After a moment, Lian'er said with a little worry, "Miss, I'm afraid mother won't agree."

The brothel madam has certain authority over the matter of redemption. If she has control over it, Du Yuejiao will have no choice but to leave. After all, although Du Yuejiao is a little older at this time, she has a good appearance and is good at playing string instruments. She has countless visitors. The brothel madam will certainly not let go of such a cash cow easily. Even if she wants to redeem her, she will ask for a huge sum of money.

Du Yuejiao was not worried at all. She said unhappily, "What are you afraid of? We have our young master. Let him solve it."

It is easy for the young man to redeem a brothel girl. If he can't even do this, it only means that he is a useless person. In this case, there is no need for him to cooperate.

Lian'er nodded slightly when she heard this. Her mistress was right. Why should she worry about these things?

On the other side, Shui Rong came out of Fengming Courtyard and led Xiao Fuzi back to Prince Beijing's Mansion. Turning the corner, he saw a few lights in front of the palace's red gate from afar. With the help of the lights, Shui Rong saw that the expectant figure looked very familiar, like a clingy little girl.

Qianying noticed Shuirong's return and hurried over. It was Yingluo's little hoof.

"My Lord, you are finally back."

As she spoke, Yingluo's nose twitched slightly and she looked at Shui Rong with suspicion.

Shui Rong frowned when he saw this, he almost forgot that this little guy was born in the year of the dog and has a very sensitive nose!

But since he didn't drink today, it shouldn't be a problem. Seeing Yingluo's resentful expression, Shui Rong changed the subject and scolded her with a smile: "Little slut, why are you waiting outside the mansion instead of staying at home?"

Yingluo's cheeks were slightly drunk when she heard that, and she spat softly, what little slut, she is not a slut! !

"Your Majesty, you are still laughing at me. The Concubine Dowager is waiting anxiously. She has told me to wait for you outside the palace!!!"

Shui Rong felt helpless when he heard that. He had been loved by Concubine Beijing in the palace since he was adopted. The mother and son depended on each other very much. Whatever he wanted, she would grant him. She really had everything in her arms. But it was also because of this that she could not leave him. He was just going out of the palace for a trip, so why did they mobilize such a large number of people?

But Shui Rong couldn't say much. Concubine Beijing was lonely and helpless, so she naturally treasured the thought of Shui Rong. She felt empty when she didn't see him. Besides, Shui Rong was not her dearest heart, so she began to worry about losing him.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong walked towards the palace. He had to comfort his widowed mother and have a good talk with her. Although it felt good to hold it in his mouth, he couldn't hold it in his mouth forever. It would be too greedy.

As they walked to the corridor, Shui Rong asked, "Yingluo, did mother say anything?"

The so-called right medicine for the right disease, it is better to find out the situation clearly first to avoid taking a detour. Women are not easy to coax and have bad tempers. Otherwise, Shui Rong will not be able to easily control the widowed mother.

Yingluo raised her eyes and glanced at Shui Rong, pouting and saying, "The Concubine Dowager was afraid that the Prince would be fooled away, so she has been worried and didn't even eat a few bites of dinner."

Shui Rong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He was not a child, so why would he be fooled? The Queen Mother Beijing's worry was unnecessary.

After a pause, Shui Rong ordered, "Yingluo, ask the kitchen to prepare some exquisite side dishes and send them to Ning'an Hall."

Before the three armies move, food and fodder must be sent ahead. Shui Rong must plan ahead to be invincible.

Yingluo nodded slightly, turned around and told the maid to inform the people in the kitchen, then looked at Shui Rong, her face full of curiosity, and asked in a low voice: "My Lord, it's getting late, where did you go when you left the house?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong turned around and looked at Ying Luo. Noticing her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity, he couldn't help but smile. This little bitch even learned to make indirect inquiries.

"I have nothing to do, so I just wander around."

After saying that, Shui Rong ignored him and walked towards Ning'an Hall.

Yingluo pursed her lips upon seeing this, her delicate face full of suspicion. However, as a maid, she had already overstepped her bounds, so she couldn't say much. As the saying goes, "one has to pick on the weak." Yingluo turned her sharp eyes to look at Xiao Fuzi.

Damn it, the prince was led astray by you!!!

Xiao Fuzi was shocked. Shui Rong had told her earlier that she must not talk too much about matters concerning the brothel, so she kept silent and looked naive.

Yingluo snorted coldly upon seeing this. Although the scent on Shuirong's body was faint, she still could smell it. It was clearly the same rouge scent as last time. Last time she could say it was because she went to the rouge shop, but what about this time?

There is no need to think too much. Her own prince must have gone to find a woman as she thought. The prince is the same. If he wants, everyone in the mansion will agree to it. Why does he have to look for someone unclean outside? What if he gets hurt?

Shui Rong was walking, and when he turned around, he saw Ying Luo staring at Xiao Fuzi with a frown, and called out, "Little slut, why don't you keep up?"

“Hey, I’m here.” Yingluo responded quickly, glared at Xiao Fuzi, and walked forward with lotus steps!!!

Chapter 28 The Prince Wants to Eat Rouge Again

In Ning'an Hall, Concubine Beijing was half-leaning on a soft couch on a high platform, with a depressed look hidden under her willow-leaf brows. In the hall, Zhen Hua and Ke Qing were accompanying her on both sides.

Seeing this, the well-educated Zhen Hua hesitated for a while, then stepped forward to comfort her, "Aunt, my cousin is just out of town for a walk, and he will be back soon, so you don't have to worry."

It is normal for a man to leave the house, and Concubine Beijing is making a big fuss about it.

Concubine Beijing raised her eyes to look at Zhen Hua, sighed softly, and said earnestly: "Hua'er, your cousin is ignorant of the ways of the world and has a pure heart. There are many temptations outside and he is easily fooled. You must be more careful in the future and don't let others take advantage of you."

Zhen Hua was still young and not experienced enough. If it was broad daylight, Shui Rong would just leave the house, and it wouldn't be worth it. Last time, she didn't say anything. But today was different. It was getting dark, and no one invited him to be the host, but he still left the house. Where could he go? It was just those brothels.

She still remembered that when the old Prince Beijing was alive, he often slept outside the mansion at night, leaving her alone in the empty room, with an empty heart that she didn't tell anyone else. It was precisely because of this kind of suffering that she didn't want her son to become like that.

Zhen Hua's cheeks flushed when she heard that. She was also a smart person, so how could she not know the hidden meaning of Concubine Beijing's words? She was simply treating her as the future Princess Beijing and asking her to keep a close eye on Shui Rong.

Thinking of this, Zhen Hua responded in a low voice: "Aunt, I understand."

Seeing this, Concubine Beijing nodded slightly, and looked at Keqing again. She thought for a moment, then said softly, "Keqing, Rong has always loved you. Please visit more often when you are free."

Keqing was stunned when she heard that, and looked at the Concubine Beijing with her rosy almond eyes in confusion. Originally, the Concubine Beijing was in control, so Keqing always kept to her duties, but now, could it be that the Concubine Beijing has softened her attitude?

Seeing this, Concubine Beijing did not say much. Things have their priorities. Originally, they were suppressing it because there was no one to be the main wife. But now, the future Princess Beijing has been confirmed, so there is naturally no need to suppress it too much. Besides, Shui Rong is not young anymore, and suppressing him would not be good. So she simply turned a blind eye and took two approaches at the same time to tie Shui Rong down and prevent him from going out and making trouble.

Zhen Hua's beautiful eyes moved around Keqing's graceful and elegant figure, her fat hands clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her palms. Since she entered the mansion, her cousin had gone to Keqing's room many times but had never looked for her. She was obviously not inferior to Keqing, so why was her cousin so partial to her?

No, she is the future Princess Beijing and she must win her cousin's heart.

Just as Zhen Hua was encouraging herself, Shui Rong lifted the curtain and came in, immediately making Zhen Hua smile like a peach blossom.

Keqing lowered her eyes and pretended to walk away, her peach petals turned red, and her bright eyes were like a pool of autumn water.

Seeing this, Concubine Beijing, who was sitting on the brocade couch, was instantly relieved of her depression, and was replaced by a smile. Without waiting for Shui Rong to greet her, she hurriedly said, "Brother Rong is back, come here quickly."

Shui Rong greeted him and sat down next to Concubine Beijing. Before he sat down properly, Concubine Beijing reached out and lifted the tassel hanging in front of Shui Rong, complaining, "You, it's already dark, why are you running out of the mansion? You're making me worry for no reason."

Feeling the deep love from Concubine Beijing, Shui Rong said with a smile: "I heard that the night market is thriving, so I went to take a look."
