How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Ah."

Yan Jixue just responded lightly, and continued to look through the account book in her hand, and began to make changes on it with a pen.

Xu Chengling has become accustomed to her cold attitude. In the morning she is an icy beauty, and at night she is a passionate and hungry wife.

Xu Chengling's eyes couldn't help but fall on his wife's proud part. It seemed that it was different from usual, as if... it was a little more erect.

So he couldn't help asking his wife:

"Ma'am, are you wearing anything underneath?"

"Uh……"

For some reason, a beautiful blush suddenly appeared on the lady's face, and the slender hand that was writing stopped.

After a while, she nodded slightly.

In fact, Yan Jixue refused at the beginning.

Because you can't just let her wear it. Doesn't the empress have any dignity to lose?

But after she tried it this morning, she found that it really worked, and the burden in front of her body was much lighter than usual.

Although the design of this bra is too bold, it doesn't matter as long as you wear it.

After all, underwear is something that you wear for yourself and for him to see.

Yan Jixue even had an idea. If she tried it and there was no problem, she might as well promote it among the ladies of the upper class and solve this problem that has troubled women in Dayan for many years.

Seeing Xu Chengling staring at her with a squinting look on his face, Yan Jixue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes."

"Hey, I was wondering what my lady would look like in this underwear. After all, I didn't get a chance to see it last night."

Xu Chengling chuckled, not paying any attention to his wife's verbal threats.

Yan Jixue couldn't help but glared at him fiercely and said:

"What's more, it was you who was so impatient last night that you jumped right on me."

"Hehe, who made my wife so beautiful and attractive?"

"You know the truth."

The two flirted for a while, and then Xia Chan walked in with a plate of snacks in her hand.

"Master, Madam, please have breakfast."

After the two of them tried it, Xu Chengling couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said:

"Madam, your cooking skills are getting better and better. You are almost as good as the chef in the imperial kitchen."

"It would be nice to eat some."

Yan Jixue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. He had known for a long time that his cooking skills were not good, and he deliberately said things to insult her.

These pastries were actually stolen by Xia Chan when he returned to the palace that morning.

After finishing breakfast, Xu Chengling called Tongxin and left, saying that he had some important business to attend to.

"Xia Chan, follow him secretly and see where he goes."

Yan Jixue ordered Xia Chan that recently when Xu Chengling was not attending court, he was often not at home, leaving early and returning late.

After a while, Xia Chan appeared silently behind Yan Jixue and replied calmly:

"Madam, the master has gone to Xueyuefang in the East Market."

"Where is he going again?"

Yan Jixue frowned slightly, and couldn't help but clench the brush in her hand, falling into deep thought.

She had already agreed to Xu Chengling's plan to hire a concubine, so why did he still go to the Huaying Tower every day?

"Your Majesty, do you think the master has a mistress in Huaying Tower?"

Xia Chan couldn't help but say.

If he doesn't have a mistress outside, why does he go to Huayinglou so frequently? Is it for free?

"Impossible. He said he received orders from His Majesty to investigate the spies."

Yan Jixue tried hard to calm herself down. She wanted to believe in her husband.

It was very easy to find out whether Xu Chengling had a mistress outside. She was in charge of the accounts and all she had to do was look at his usual spending.

Fortunately, Xu Chengling didn't spend much during this period, which directly dispelled her doubts.

"My husband listens to me very much. He definitely won't keep a mistress outside."

Yan Jixue murmured to herself as if to hypnotize herself.

……

On the other side, Xu Chengling brought Tongxin to Huaying Tower again.

He asked Tongxin to wait outside, and he walked in with ease, as if he was returning home.

When we entered Huaying Building, we saw it was already full of guests.

It was the first time that Xu Chengling saw Huayinglou so lively.

"Mr. Xu, what brings you here?"

At this time, the madam of Huayinglou came up and greeted him warmly.

Xu Chengling pointed to the large number of guests gathered in front and asked with some doubt:

"Boss, what important day is today? Why are there so many guests?"

"My lord, you may not know that today is an important day. It is the first time that Miss Yu Xianglan, the signature of our Huaying Studio, will receive a customer."

The bustard explained to him.

"Pick up guests?"

Xu Chengling was stunned. When he heard the news, his brows slightly frowned.

"Isn't Yu Xianglan selling her art but not her body?"

"Since we have come to this Flower Studio, there is no such thing as selling art but not body. The so-called selling art but not body, or spending a fortune just to see her, is just a marketing method of our Flower Studio. The purpose is to raise the value of our sign so that we can sell it for a high price when she first receives a customer."

The brothel owner shrugged and explained everything to Xu Chengling.

"Yu Xianglan's greatest value as an oiran lies on this day. After that, Huayinglou will have a second and third Yu Xianglan..."

After listening to the brothel owner's explanation, Xu Chengling couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Wow, it turns out this is all business. No wonder Huayinglou has become the number one brothel in Beijing. These methods have contributed greatly to this.

If we put aside its identity as an intelligence organization, Huayinglou is no different from a brothel in every aspect.

At this moment, the crowd in front of them suddenly became excited, and someone pointed at the figure that appeared above and shouted:

"Look, Miss Yuxianglan is coming out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful figure slowly appeared above everyone's heads. She was wearing a pink and white dress, her purple hair was tied into a bun, and she wore several gorgeous hairpins. Her cherry red eyes were full of longing, making her look so charming and attractive.

She wore a red veil on her face, retaining a hint of mystery.

The slender hands hidden under the cuffs were clasped together at this moment, trembling slightly, as if a little nervous.

Even though she had been told by the brothel owner that she would have to sell her body sooner or later after coming to Huaying Tower.

But when the day finally came, Hanyu Sakura still panicked.

Chapter 164: Poor guy, get out!

Sakura Hanyu stood high up, being viewed by the guests below like a beautifully packaged product.

Even though she wore a veil on her face, it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.

And it adds a sense of mystery to her.

Everyone below was amazed at Yu Xianglan's flower-like beauty and noble temperament. She was the best of the best.

Sakura Hanyu's cherry-red eyes stared coldly ahead, but she didn't look at the happy crowd below.

Her expression was cold, and there was no trace of emotion on her pretty face. There was no light in her eyes either.

No matter who she was in the past, now that she was standing here, she was a commodity that could be measured by a price.

And she obviously knew her fate. Her sharp cherry-red eyes dimmed, like two candles that were about to go out.

At this time, the bustard came in front of the crowd and looked at the enthusiastic crowd below. She couldn't help but smile and introduced the guests who came here:

"Dear readers, as you can see, this is the signature girl of our Flower Studio, Miss Yu Xianglan. Miss Xianglan is the best in our Flower Studio in terms of both talent and temperament, and most importantly, Miss Xianglan has not received a customer yet and is still a virgin."

At this point, the crowd below began to get excited. They came here just for Yu Xianglan's first visit.

There is definitely a world of difference between the price for the first time and the price for not the first time.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had been heated up, the brothel owner struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"However, our Miss Yu Xianglan can only entertain one guest today. Whether you can gain Miss Xianglan's favor today depends on your ability."

As soon as the madam finished speaking, those who were familiar with the unspoken rules of Huayinglou already knew what was going on.

In the crowd, Xu Chengling understood what was going on after listening to the brothel owner's words.

Simply put, whoever pays more has the chance to win the favor of Miss Xianglan.

It's like an auction, with people bidding against each other and the highest bidder wins.

The only difference is that what is auctioned at an auction is objects, while at Huayinglou, it is people.

This has been the rule of Huayinglou, and even Xu Chengling cannot change it.

The brothel owner took a quick look at everyone present, smiled charmingly, and announced to everyone:

"Then let's get started."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately raised his hand and shouted:

"I'll give you one hundred taels."

What does one hundred taels mean? In Dayan, one hundred taels is enough for an ordinary family to spend their entire lives.

But the guests who could come to Huayinglou were all, without exception, high-ranking officials, or children of aristocrats or wealthy businessmen. One hundred taels was just a drop in the bucket for them.

There was a hint of fanaticism in everyone's eyes; they came here just for Yu Xianglan.

They were willing to spend a fortune just to spend a night with Miss Yuxianglan.

"One hundred and fifty taels."

A wealthy businessman in the crowd spoke slowly.

"Two hundred taels."

As soon as he finished speaking, another person made a bid.

"I'll pay three hundred taels."

A nobleman shouted loudly that in his mind, Yu Xianglan was the most exquisite beauty and was completely not on the same level as the other girls in Huaying Tower.

Everyone made bids one after another, and after some arguing, the price of Yu Xianglan had risen to two thousand taels.

What does two thousand taels mean? It means that if you come to Huaying Building, which ranks number one in Beijing, every day, you can spend a month there.

This price has already started to discourage some ordinary customers.

But they didn't care, they knew what was going on, they were just here for fun anyway.

Standing above, Sakura Hanyu looked indifferently at the people below with a dim look in her eyes. Various voices rang in her ears, but she ignored them all.

"I'll pay three thousand taels."

Just then, an older man in the crowd stood up and directly raised the bid to one thousand taels.

This man is a wealthy businessman in the capital. Although he is married, he still often goes to Huaying Tower.

"Three thousand taels, are you looking down on Miss Yu Xianglan? I'll give you five thousand taels."
