Chapter 19: The Brothel
The spring rain is continuous, watering the earth, and the world seems to be calm, but in fact, people's fate is not entirely in their own hands.
Lan Zijin woke up and found himself in Dongfang Luoqi's palace. Spring is like a promise in the palace, but Lan Zijin doesn't even bother to get out of the door.
She watched the rain through the window, and a few sparrows in the trees chirped non-stop, not caring about the wind and rain. But the swallows are different, as soon as the rain is a little lighter, they fly out of the eaves, and after a while they come back with dirt to build their own home.
Lan Zijin doesn't talk to people, just eats and drinks, and goes to bed when it's dark. His eyes were a little glazed, as if his mind had been completely emptied.
That afternoon, the rain stopped and the sound of a flute was heard outside. Lan Zijin went out in response, and found Dongfang Luoqi dressed in white by a pond in the palace.
"Are you getting better?"
The flute stopped abruptly, Dongfang Luo Qi turned his head and said, "The injury is no longer in the way, but you are too unsensual, can't you listen to such a beautiful flute?" ”
"I'm sorry. You go on, I'll be done. ”
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Dongfang Luoqi said, walked up to Lan Zijin, put his arm on her shoulder, and said, "Little beauty, are you in a better mood?" ”
Lan Zijin pushed his arm away, gave him a blank look, and said, "No." ”
"Would you like to sit down and talk?"
The two arrived at the main hall and sat down to drink tea, Dongfang Luoqi said, "I want to know, what do you think of my brother Wang now." ”
Lan Zijin looked out the window and didn't say a word.
"What are you going to do next?"
Lan Zijin slowly spoke, "I plan to live with you, if you are inconvenient, I will find another place." ”
"If you let Brother Wang know that I have hidden you in my house, you should be scolded. But I don't care, if you want to stay, you can stay, you have nowhere to go anyway. ”
"Knowing that I have nowhere to go, and asking, are you trying to drive me away?"
"......" Dongfang Luo Qi was speechless, when did this woman be so good at raising the bar.
Lan Zijin turned his head, looked straight at him, and said, "Don't tell Dongfang Luoyu that I'm here." ”
Dongfang Luoqi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said slowly: "I don't say it, Brother Wang has long known, what can escape his eyes in this huge Dongfang country?" ”
"He knew, but he didn't come." Lan Zijin said without being salty, and then turned his head to look out the window.
Dongfang Luoqi was stunned, chuckled, and secretly sighed that she still cared about Dongfang Luoyu.
"Hey, life is boring. Why don't I take you out tomorrow to be chic? Dongfang Luoqi stretched his waist, looked at Lan Zijin, and asked lightly.
"Didn't you say that I was being hunted down? It's not good to go out, and your injuries aren't healed. Lan Zijin cupped his cheeks and said unhurriedly.
"Don't you look down on me too much. Anyway, I'm also from the royal family, who can move you in front of me? And my injuries are already healed, so it's okay. ”
Dongfang Luoqi's words are true, his kung fu Lan Zijin has also seen it, and he is on par with Dongfang Luoyu. So Lan Zijin smiled lightly and said, "Okay, where does the prince want to take me chic?" ”
The smile on Dongfang Luoqi's face flooded, and he returned to his previous unruly demeanor, and said, "Then it's up to you, let's go chic." ”
"Then go to the place where the prince goes most often, the place that can make the prince nostalgic."
"Oh? Seriously? ”
"Seriously."
Dongfang Luo Qi stared at Lan Zijin's side face intently, and asked with some confusion: "Why do you want to go to the place where this king often goes?" ”
"It must be very interesting to make the prince nostalgic."
The next day, the rain stopped.
Lan Zijin waited all day, but he didn't see Dongfang Luoqi. It wasn't until late afternoon that he knocked on Lan Zijin's door.
"Zijin? Let's go! ”
Lan Zijin opened the door, dressed in a light blue gauze skirt, pulled a refreshing bun, and said a little unpleasantly: "It's getting dark, the prince is late, isn't it too much." ”
"Not really, it's just that I'm going to take you there, and it's more interesting to go at this time."
Lan Zijin sighed, and prepared to close the door and go with Dongfang Luoqi. Dongfang Luoqi stopped her and said, "It's inconvenient for you to dress like this, you better go into the house and change into a man's outfit." ”
"Okay."
Lan Zijin went into the house to change her clothes, brought some silver taels, and looked in the mirror again, feeling that there were some shortcomings, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that her folding fan was still in Nangong Yu's hand.
That was the only thing that her senior brother left her, no matter what the price was, she had to ask Nangong Yu for it back.
"Zijin, have you changed it?" Lan Zijin's thoughts were broken by Dongfang Luoqi's voice, she came back to her senses, hid the coiling dragon sword in her cuffs, and went out in response.
"Where are you going to take me, is it fun?" Lan Zijin didn't know where it was, although she didn't know where it was, but this place was also chosen by her.
"Of course." Dongfang Luo Qi said confidently.
After walking a few streets, they came to a place called Yanxiang Building.
There were many girls in the store, and they all said hello to Dongfang Luoyu.
A woman with heavy makeup beckoned Dongfang Luoqi and the two to sit down in a private room, and asked with a hippie smile while pouring tea: "Oh, Lord Wang, you haven't been here for a while!" Which girl to order today, we are here, there is a new batch, all of them are chicks. ”
Dongfang Luo Qi said coldly: "You arrange a table of good wine and food for me first, and the rest will be talked about later." ”
"Okay!"
After a while, the dishes were ready. Lan Zijin is very satisfied with the speed of serving food here. While eating, he said, "The dish is really fast, and the taste is good." ”
Dongfang Luoqi poured a full bottle of wine for Lan Zijin and said, "Well, the service here is very good. ”
Lan Zijin was nibbling on a chicken, she was depressed these days, she didn't eat well, but when she got here, she let go. She swallowed a big mouthful of meat and said to Dongfang Luoqi: "This is what kind of brothel people often talk about." ”
Dongfang Luo Qi smiled: "I still know a lot!" ”
"That's a must." After Lan Zijin finished speaking, he continued to eat and drink, and as soon as he got along with Dongfang Luoqi, it seemed that all her troubles had been forgotten.
"Hey, I'm full." Lan Zijin took a sip of wine, pressed the rice, looked at Dongfang Luoqi, who was drinking quietly with a calm demeanor, and asked, "Next, let's do something." ”
Dongfang Luo Qi smiled slightly, beckoned the old mother to come in, and said, "Call a few new arrivals for this king." This boy I have brought with me wants to see and learn. ”
"Okay, don't worry, these new girls, absolutely clean!"
"Hurry up." Facing the old mother's face, Dongfang Luoqi was obviously a little impatient.
The old mother also retreated with interest, and after a while, a few girls dressed in bewitching clothes came in and said hello to the two of them.
This voice, even Lan Zijin heard it.
"What's going to happen?" Dongfang Luo Qi asked.
"Lord Wang, we know a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know what Lord Wang wants to see?" A woman in red stepped forward and replied.
"Ask this son." Dongfang Luoqi picked up the wine glass and gestured with his eyes, and the woman in red walked up to Lan Zijin and asked in a crispy voice, "This son, what do you want to see?" ”
"Uh...... Let's dance. Lan Zijin hurriedly picked up the wine and didn't look at her, and replied casually.
The woman in red saw Lan Zijin's face blushing with shame, she was amused, turned her head and commanded the girls, and did not forget to brush her face with her sleeve when she left.
Seeing this, Dongfang Luo Qi almost laughed out loud.
