Chapter 456: First Meeting with the Prince Consort (3)
“Father, if you don’t say it, I won’t say it. How will Mother know?”
“I’ll pick you up at nine at the latest.” There was a trace of dignity in his voice, as well as a trace of helpless doting.
For some reason, Yu Wan was curious about the man outside the wall. She wrapped the cloth around her chest, opened the door, and walked out. On the side path, a little master in blue came over. They were both women dressed as men, so Yu Wan could naturally see through her disguise. This must be the girl who had clamored about entering the brothel just now.
She looked so tender and didn’t look like a child from a poor family. Then why did the daughter of a rich family come to such a place? And her father couldn’t dissuade her? What kind of strange family was this?
However, when she thought about how she and her husband went to the brothel together, she felt that they were not any better than this father and daughter.
Yu Wan was thinking about the man outside and walked out of the back door. Unexpectedly, there was no one on the path outside the door. She looked around and walked around. She found nothing and walked towards the back door.
Suddenly, a magnetic voice stopped her. “Miss, you dropped your things.”
Yu Wan subconsciously turned around and saw a tall man about the same height as Yan Jiuchao. He was wearing a brocade robe and a silver mask. He rolled up his sleeves with one hand and handed a golden invitation to Yu Wan with the other.
That hand was as exquisite as a jade carving, and it was too beautiful.
“Is it yours?” the man asked.
Yu Wan came back to her senses and took the invitation. “It’s mine.” She had accidentally dropped the priceless golden invitation that the Old Madam had given her, but the focus was on this man’s beautiful hands?
However, this should be the man outside the wall just now. His voice was exactly the same. Wait, how could he recognize her as a girl? Was her pretense a failure?
“Goodbye.” The man turned around and left, leaving Yu Wan behind.
Some people did not need to send a single soldier to show the bearing of the royal family. Yu Wan felt that the man in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Thank you!” She had just remembered to thank him. The man had already walked far away. It was unknown if he did not hear her or if he did not care. He did not stop at all and calmly entered the night.
Yu Wan put away the golden invitation and returned to the table.
“Why did you take so long?” The person who asked was Qing Yan. He was already here after parking the carriage, but Yu Wan had stayed in the toilet for long enough.
Yu Wan was too embarrassed to tell him that she had gone to wrap her chest. She said that there were many people and waited for a while. Then, she saw Jiang Hai silently pour a cup of brown sugar ginger tea and place it in front of her.
Yu Wan : “…”
What was with this subordinate who always misunderstood that her period had come?
On the other side, the Little Commandery Princess, who was disguised as a man, had also entered Paramount. She sat in a corner opposite Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan, which was also surrounded by a green gauze cabinet with hollow yellow pear wood.
The Little Commandery Princess looked at this lousy seat and frowned. “Why are we sitting here? Isn’t there even a room?”
The Helian brothers, who had slipped out of the house without telling their family, were slightly surprised.
Helian Yu said embarrassedly, “To be honest, Princess, there are too many customers. They all started booking a month ago. When we went to book, there were no more seats. I bought this from someone else.”
“Useless!” A trace of displeasure flashed across the Little Commandery Princess’s beautiful phoenix eyes. “If Big Brother Helian was here…” She stopped mid-sentence and said happily, “Big Brother Helian won’t appear here! He doesn’t visit brothels!”
We don’t either! Isn’t this for you? The two brothers felt wronged. They did not understand. The two of them were clearly the ones who treated the Little Commandery Princess with all their hearts. Helian Sheng was always indifferent to her, but why were they inferior to Helian Sheng in her heart?
The Little Commandery Princess did not notice the resentment of the two brothers at all. She looked at the platform built against the wall in the east of the hall and said, “Which one is Dong Xian’er?”
A new dance was playing on the stage. The dance was beautiful, and the sound of the pipa was like immortal music.
Helian Cheng said, “They’re not. Dong Xian’er hasn’t come out yet.”
The little princess frowned and said, “She hasn’t come out? What time is it? Father still has to pick me up at nine.”
“It’s still early,” Helian Yu said.
The Little Commandery Princess leaned back in her chair and sighed faintly. “I don’t understand. We’re just buying a lingzhi. Can’t we just ask someone to negotiate with her? She can name a price. In short, I can afford it!”
