The fact that Noble Imperial Concubine Ling was forced to hand over control of the six palaces spread to every corner of the harem.
Those concubines who were usually at odds with Noble Imperial Concubine Ling were naturally overjoyed. Considering that the empress was the one who had contributed the most to this incident, everyone had more or less developed some sympathy for the empress.
After all, the empress had never competed with anyone and would not violate anyone's interests, not to mention that the empress was Prime Minister Su's daughter, and no one in the court was willing to oppose Prime Minister Su.
Therefore, after Noble Imperial Concubine Ling lost his power, the phoenix palace became very lively. The concubines and young masters of the various palaces almost flattened the threshold of Phoenix Palace, and all kinds of gifts flowed into the phoenix palace like flowing water.
Su Mianyue could not bear the disturbance and ordered the imperial concubines not to sleep in the morning, but the whole palace was full of joy, especially some sleeping imperial concubines. This decree was like the sound of heaven.
Noble Imperial Concubine Ling closed the palace to reflect on himself, the empress was happy and quiet, the most lively place in the entire harem was Concubine De.
For a moment, Concubine De became the hottest person in the whole palace, and she enjoyed flattering some people. Su Mianyue saw that she liked to make trouble like this, so he completely let go of his power.
Concubine De was very grateful to Su Mianyue. She had been out of favor for a long time. If it weren't for this time, Mu Tinng would have forgotten about her. So every time Su Mianyue did something, she turned a blind eye.
Outside Shangjing City on this day, the sun was shining brightly. It was beginning to fall, but it was not cold. Instead, it had a warm autumn feeling. On the banks of the xiaoxiang river, two handsome young men stood on the bridge, attracting the attention of countless people who came and went.
"Young master, are you going to the Yihong Whorehouse to meet your little lover, miss Xuezhu, in this outfit today?" A short servant in a green shirt curled his lips.
The young man standing next to him was dressed in a sapphire blue shirt with a crown of jade on his head. His eyes were bright and his smiles were full of amorous feelings. When countless women passed him, they would look back at him shyly.
"Bi, you really win my heart!" The young man in the sapphire blue shirt chuckled and waved the paper fan. All the women around him who looked at him with such a flirtatious look blushed.
These two were Su Mianyue and Biwu.
They strutted to the Yihong Whorehouse, where the company had just opened and the two sat in the lobby sipping tea.
"Ouch, it's really early for the two gentlemen." A well-dressed woman twisted her waist and walked to the two of them. She was covered in too much perfume. Su Mianyue's fan shaking hand could not help but speed up, while Biwu could not help sneezing several times.
Su Mianyue looked up at her and continued to drink tea.
"Young master, you and I are so destined, why don't you let the little girl serve you tonight?" As the woman spoke, she leaned closer to her. Su Mianyue put the fan away and gently pressed it against her chest to stop the woman from approaching.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said gently, "Tell Xuezhu that someone is looking for her."
When the woman heard this, her face changed and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face, "Young master, I'm afraid you don't know yet. This snow bamboo has a higher heart than the sky. I never received any guests."
Su Mianyue was slightly surprised, "Why?"
The woman showed a disdainful expression, "Who knows? She paid all the monthly money these months by herself. She is really stupid to say that even the high officials of the current dynasty want to redeem her to be a concubine, but she is not willing to, so I advise you not to waste your time."
Su Mianyue could not deny it. He took out a silver ingot from his arms and placed it in the woman's palm, "It's all right. Just give me a snow bamboo."
After the woman collected the money, she snorted and went upstairs with a twist.
"Young master, this prostitute is too unethical," Biwu said angrily.
Su Mianyue smiled, "I can't help it. This business is all about youth. The pressure of competition is too great."
In the most luxurious room on the second floor of the Yihong Whorehouse, a woman with long hair draped over her shoulders, not yet in a bun, looked at herself in the mirror looking a little pale, her eyes filled with melancholy, reached out to touch the pendant on the dresser, and a trace of blush flew up to her snow-white cheeks.
Someone knocked on the door a few times.
"Who?" She said faintly.
"Xuezhu, it's me, feiyu." Said the woman outside, holding a silver ingot in her hand.
Xuezhu got up and opened the door, expressionless, "What's the matter?"
Fei yu smiled charmingly and said, "Someone is looking for you."
Snow bamboo frowned and frowned. Ever since she took the flower leader, the number of people who came to see her every day was like a crucian carp crossing a river.
"He's a very beautiful young man." Fei yu looked at Xuezhu's white body, and his heart couldn't help but snort. They were all for sale. Why did he dress up like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world?
"Tell him not to see you." Xuezhu turned around and entered the room.
"That's what you said. I'll pass it on," fei yu gloated.
The young man just now was so handsome that he fascinated her to death. If Xuezhu did not see her, then she would not be polite. She must do her best to take the beautiful young man down.
"Whatever." Xuezhu's voice came from inside the house.
Fei yu proudly turned around and happened to see su mianyue with a smile on her face. Her face turned red, "You saw it too, young master. Xuezhu won't see you."
Su Mianyue was not annoyed either, "If she doesn't want to, forget it." She said and turned to leave.
Xuezhu, who was sitting in the room, was stunned when he heard Su Mianyue's voice.
This voice was so familiar to her that she could not be more familiar with it. It had been haunting her mind for months.
She couldn't believe that he was really here, so she quickly got up and ran out the door without even saying a word.
As soon as she got out of the room, she saw Su Mianyue leaning against the railing and gently waving a paper fan. She looked at her with perfect composure as if she had expected her to come out.
"How are you?" She asked with a smile.
Xuezhu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he felt as if something was rushing out of his heart.
These months of countless words, endless lovesickness, how many nights, all turned into a shallow smile in front of the person and his heart full of tenderness.
She had a thousand words, but at this moment, there was nothing to say. She looked at Su Mianyue, opened her mouth, and only spat out a "Yes."
"Hello, I'm relieved." Su Mianyue paused. "You're my woman." She raised her eyebrows and, as expected, saw Xuezhu blush.
"Is that how you intend to keep me standing outside?" Su Mianyue said a classic flirting remark.
Only then did Xuezhu realize that he did not invite Su Mianyue into the house. A look of embarrassment appeared on his face and he said quickly, "It was Xuezhu who did not take good care of him. Young master, come in quickly."
Su Mianyue followed her into the house and found that her boudoir was very elegant, just like her people.
"Young master, Xuezhu hasn't washed up yet, can you..." She hesitated.
Su Mianyue waved his fan and smiled thoughtfully, "It's okay, you go."
Xuezhu called for the servant girl. After she had washed up behind the screen, she walked out of the room. She changed out of her snow-white dress and put on a yellow skirt. She looked very pink and tender.
Su Mianyue looked at her and exclaimed in his heart that a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. She really looks good in all kinds of clothes.
Seeing that she was staring at her, xuezhu blushed and said shyly, "Why are you staring at him like that?"
Su Mianyue smiled, "Because you're so beautiful."
Xuezhu's blushing face turned even redder, "Then why hasn't the young man been here for months?"
Su Mianyue thought about it and smiled, "Something's going on at home."
Xuezhu's eyes flashed and carefully probed, "A man like this must have a family."
Family? Mu Tinng?
Su Mianyue burst into laughter, but he simply nodded, "Yes, there is a family, but the family's temper is too bad, and they always punish me." She smiled faintly, but Xuezhu felt a little distressed.
Xuezhu frowned slightly, "How can someone like the young master not cherish him?"
Su Mianyue was too lazy to explain."
Xuezhu was a little surprised. She could not imagine how someone like Su Mianyue would find a mother's fork to be his wife, but his expression seemed to make him happy.
"Why did the young master think of coming here today?" Xuezhu was a little disappointed.
Su Mianyue propped her head up with one hand and looked at Xuezhu's charming little face, smiling provocatively, "Nothing. I just miss you. I want to see you."
Xuezhu missed a beat in his heart and curled his lips in an almost inaudible manner.
"The sword dance you danced that day was really beautiful." Su Mianyue wondered, "Do you know martial arts?"
Xuezhu blushed and nodded, "Thank you, sir. Although Xuezhu has been practicing martial arts since he was young, he only knows fur. The sword is just for dancing."
The two of them chatted for a while, and Su Mianyue gave her a silver ticket, "I heard you don't accept guests now. I'll take care of you. Don't come out with your body in the future."
Xuezhu's eyes turned red and his heart warmed. His hands trembled as he took the silver ticket.
"Thank you, sir."
Su Mianyue raised his eyebrows, "I told you, you will be mine in the future. I will support you. You stay here and no one will force you."
Xuezhu nodded, but his heart was too soft for words.
"I still have things to deal with, so I won't stay any longer," she said and got up.
"Is the young master leaving now?" Xuezhu also got up to send him off, his eyes full of reluctance, never felt an hour pass so quickly: "When is the young master..." She blushed in the middle of her sentence.
"I'll come and see you when I have the chance." Before leaving, Su Mianyue thought of another thing. He patted his forehead and turned to xuezhu, "I'm afraid I have one more thing to trouble you about."
Xuezhu's eyes lit up, "Young master, it's okay to say it. If Xuezhu can help young master, he will do his best."
"If there is a little boy in front of the Yihong Whorehouse these days, please ask the girl to take care of him."
"Okay." Xuezhu answered without asking.
Su Mianyue and Biwu were sent to the door. Xuezhu stood at the door for a long time and looked at Su Mianyue's back. There was a bitter sweetness in his heart.
As soon as she turned around and entered the Yihong Whorehouse, the madam said in a strange tone, "You don't accept customers every day because of this little boy."
Xuezhu did not speak and walked upstairs with a cold face.
"I say, Xuezhu, we're both in this business. I've said a lot of things to be honest with you. This man doesn't need to look good, he needs to see if he has money in his pocket. That young man was really a rare person to see just now, but so what, did he raise you? You haven't been a guest for a long time, and you'll soon run out of money unless he's willing to redeem you."
The madam was telling the truth, and Xuezhu could not help but pause. She went back to her room, took out a few silver tickets and put them in the madam's hand, and asked coldly, "Is that enough?"
The boss looked at the amount on the bill, and his old face burst into laughter, "Ouch, it's a big fish after all this time. No wonder you look down on others! Okay, whatever you want, I don't care about you anymore." The madam said as she counted the money and went downstairs with a twist.
Xuezhu returned to her room, took out a brocade box, took out the silver ticket that Su Mianyue had just given her, and put it in with the pendant on the dresser.
On the street not far from the Yihong Whorehouse, Su Mianyue and Biwu were talking and laughing. Someone might as well pass her and hit her on the shoulder.
She turned around a little angrily, but was slightly stunned when she saw him clearly.
The man, dressed in white, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You're a beautiful woman. Why pretend to be a man to deceive others?"
