The Empress’ Livestream

Silently, Liu She reflected on his duty as a father and turned away from the pretty girl who was approaching him.

Jiang Pengji laughed as she held her fan. “Just kidding. Some relaxing songs will do.”

Jiang Pengji met her soft, inviting gaze as she lifted up the girl’s chin with her fan. Her eyes seemed to hold a lake in them; they were perfectly lively and tender.

“How could you be so rude to such a pretty girl?” Jiang Pengji asked her father. “You must have broken her heart by being so abrupt.”

Liu She looked at her with a clear message: What are you planning again?

Liu She didn’t know what to do after her careless manner in Yingchun Mansion. Luckily, Jiang Pengji had stopped joking before he really got mad. After all, someone had to pay for their night there.

The audience was thrilled and showed their envy through their bullet screens. Jiang Pengji mischievously smiled, her teeth shining white.

Liu She was shocked by the sight and felt compelled to believe the rumors about his daughter being a “dissolute man.”

“My fairy, what’s the perfume you’re wearing? I love it.”

The moment Liu She collected his thoughts, he found Jiang Pengji mingling with two girls as if she was their frequent visitor. The girl she addressed blushed, leaned against her, and placed her head on Jiang Pengji’s neck. The intimate posture forced Liu She to look away again.

The girl’s cheeks were red as if she were drunk, and she answered lightly, “I make the fragrant powder by myself.”

To avoid skin allergies, the girls had learned to make their own cosmetics. Each of them had various skills, but inventing fragrances was the most common skill.

“Really? It is very special. Long-lasting and refreshing. A delight, indeed!”

Jiang Pengji carefully smelled it again, intrigued. This was evidence, for she had smelled this perfume somewhere before.

“I’m glad you like it. It’s my favorite, too,” said the shy girl. She was little and not much taller than the young Liu Lanting. She lowered her head, leading Jiang Pengji’s gaze seductively to the back of her pale neck.

Buding Bushi Buding: “This reminds me of a line: ‘You look down as tenderly as a lily in the wind.'”

Dali Buyaoting: “Come on! Don’t forget she’s just a whore! She doesn’t deserve to be compared to a lily.”

Nao: “You are not much better. Shut up if you’re watching.”

Xiyan: “Agreed. You shouldn’t be one to judge.”

Lancui Yu Buzhe: “Think about the era she’s in before you say your bullsh*t.”

Dali Buyaoting: “Ha-ha. If you care so much about the hookers, why don’t you ask the host to save them? What’s the point of arguing with me? I don’t think I’m wrong in calling them whores. They earn money by opening their legs. The host is a whore, too.”

Jiang Pengji was upset by the conflict, especially because the nonsense involved her.

Qiuyue Wubian: “Hustlers are all pretentious. What are you arguing about, anyway? The host hasn’t said anything yet.”‘

Jiang Pengji decided to intervene before the audience said anything else.

Host V: “They are laborers working to earn a living. You may look down on their occupation, but they do it to survive in this world. Many people in this era had to sell their children for money or eat their neighbors’ children. I don’t think there’s any reason for you to detest them. We all have our own stories. You may not approve of them, but you should at least respect them.”

Jiang Pengji couldn’t understand why prostitution was illegal in this era.

In her world, prostitution had been legal for thousands of years. The federation had allowed prostitution because it believed that all humans had the right to decide what they wanted to with their own bodies. Therefore, Jiang Pengji could not understand why the viewers were arguing.

As Jiang Pengji interacted with the channel, the pretty girl in her arms blinked. She was very young, but she possessed a mature kind of beauty. Her seductive gaze and plump lips would be sure to allure many.

“Does Langjun like the fragrance?”

“I’ve smelled it before and am surprised to find it again here. The smell is pleasant, but it’s not half as dazzling as you. I thought beauties like you only appear in dreams.”

On the other side, Liu She was having some vegetarian dishes. He did not drink in such places because he didn’t want to get teased if he lost consciousness.

If Jiang Pengji were his son, Liu She would have ended the night by handing him an erotic drawing and letting him pick a virgin for his first time. Although Liu She had been faithful to Gu Min, he would not have restrained his child from exploring with different women.

But this was his daughter! It’s not like she could do anything in the brothels anyway; after all, she was missing a key body part.

The girl who had been rejected by Liu She held her handkerchief by her lips. She looked at Jiang Pengji with allure and chided, “Has Langjun forgotten me?”

“I thought I was the one being ignored. You are sitting so far away from me.”

“Then… what about now?” The girl came closer until her forehead rested upon Jiang Pengji’s shoulder. “Now, Langjun can’t say it’s my fault.”

“True. I’m overjoyed by the change.”

“…” Liu She quietly looked at his daughter flirting with two other girls.

Liu She didn’t want to stick around to see how Jiang Pengji’s interactions with the girls would progress.

Then, he heard the procuress outside saying hurriedly, “Langjun, Feng Jin and Wuma Jun are staying with other guests at the moment…”
