The turning point of the matter occurred roughly the seventh day since the brothel boat started sailing. Within a full seven days, the brothel boat set sail to welcome the guests. On the ship that carried Spring Brothel, people were in trouble every day. The wharf and the bridge were filled with people waiting to see Du Yueyao, but how could that Du Yueyao be able to see them just because she wanted to?
Those who had seen her in the past seven days could be counted on one hand. He had most likely left after just meeting once, but he had also paid quite a hefty price. Gold and jewelry, they were all absolutely top-notch goods. There were even some products from the palace.
After all, there was a rule in the palace that the craftsmen in the palace were not allowed to make things for anyone outside the palace in private. Furthermore, there weren't many craftsmen in the palace; all of them were phoenixes of the entire Great Phoenix. Naturally, there weren't many items.
Only for the harem. Furthermore, he had to obtain the permission of the old master of the emperor to beat things for either a noble or a queen. The Emperor said that whoever was rewarded would receive one reward. Therefore, almost all of the gold jewelry was given through the emperor's mouth. It was mostly used on the Imperial Noble Consort or the empress. How could it have flowed out?
The only explanation was which prince had come out from the dressing table of his mother in the palace with a smile in order to win over that beauty …
The people outside did not know, since the gifts were all placed inside the boxes, they could not be seen inside. But Xiao Cui'er and Du Yueyao, Xiao Cui'er, naturally knew who gave them this gift. What did the person look like?
When the emperor was sixteen years old and still a prince, he had already married two concubines. At that time, a prince had already been born, and even after the emperor was forty years old, he was still giving birth to a concubine. Therefore, some children had already grown up to the point where they were looking for flowers, while others were still in their infancy, waiting to be fed …
The most favored one among them was the current crown prince, who was only eleven years old.
Du Yueyao looked at the golden ornament, although it was extremely exquisite, he did not receive any more of her praise. Xiao Cui'er then heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her elder sister did not take a fancy to him, so the prince was not someone easy to entrust …
She didn't know why, but when her elder sister saw every man, every time she accepted a gift, she looked as if she was facing a great enemy, afraid that Du Yueyao would just look at no one else …
Everyone who had gifted him the golden artifacts knew full well that it was the First Prince. He was already twenty years old. He was a full ten years older than the Second Prince, Wang Bi. According to the grade, he should have been the one to be the Crown Prince, but he was taken away by the Second Prince, a brat that was still wet behind the ears. I heard that the Emperor likes the Second Prince, Wang Bi. Comparing the two, Eldest Prince seemed stupid after all.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The gold artefact that he sent over was stolen from his mother. It was from the emperor's woman. Who would dare to bring it with them? Only the emperor would dare to bestow upon anyone who used the palace's golden artifacts. Otherwise, even ten or so heads wouldn't be enough to kill them.
The First Prince took great pains to bring this over, obviously to make Du Yueyao happy. Although it was true that she was beautiful, no one dared to bring her along …
Du Yueyao received it. She glanced at it, then quickly told Xiao Cui to put it away properly. If the First Prince comes back one day, he would return it to him …
She had been staying in the brothel boat all day, and now that the ship was swaying, she no longer felt dizzy. Moreover, she and Xiao Cui'er lived alone on the third floor, which was pretty spacious.
"Sister, there are too many people waiting outside. Sister Lan, do you want to see them?"
Du Yueyao casually opened her eyes. Looking at the list of gifts in front of him. Jade, jewellery, hair accessories. All kinds, everything.
He skimmed through it briefly. Not bad, there were still one or two items that made her feel satisfied. After that, the people outside also realized that Du Yueyao seemed to really like the almond flowers, and started to carve little things that could be considered good for her.
Now, looking at the many gift boxes that were just brought in, Du Yueyao's mood became better. Tao
"See, see, let them all in …"
Xiao Cui'er could be considered to have gained some experience, and could even act like this, seeing a few more guests at once. You can also rest early …
And this time, among the few young masters, there was one called Yin Yaoli …
Yin Yaoli selectively found a few Apricot Flower Jades and gifted them to his, intentionally not forming them. He only said that these were absolute top-grade good jades, and this one didn't dare to make the decision on his own. What kind of jade artifact one wanted to create would depend on the intentions of the Miss Yueyao.
Such small thoughts were naturally useful. Du Yueyao accepted it, and even said that when she saw him, she was so happy that it felt like she was walking on cotton.
When she really did enter that apricot brothel boat, the scene in front of him made him feel like he really had never missed a rumor. This woman was truly as beautiful as a goddess …
Du Yueyao was naturally not the only girl at the banquet, there were also quite a few other girls. All of them were girls on the boat, and the few young masters that entered were similar in age to their own families.
They were all eating and drinking together, and there was even a poem that the young master wanted to write between the banquet tables. People who knew would naturally know that it was most likely written since the day they were born. They would just come here to recite it intentionally, and in order to obtain Miss Du Yueyao's heart, these people would probably go all out … Then, when Yin Yaoli saw this, he started to regret why he did not know how many poems to memorize before he went out again. What if Lady Du Yueyao really had a good mouth like this?
At this moment, he sincerely remembered that silly cousin of his. Although they didn't interact much, and he already knew that the idiot was not a good brother of the same country as him, they couldn't possibly have a common language, but he had to admit that the idiot was good at reading books. His father had praised this child's literary talent again and again, to the point that his ears had calluses in them …
But that was the truth, and he had no choice but to admit it.
I heard that it was only because that suddenly rich uncle of mine did not let him take the rank test, otherwise Yin Ci would definitely be on the top of the rankings …
As for why his uncle didn't let him take the exam, it was said that he felt that his family business was too big, and that his son couldn't be divided up …
At that time, he was still joking with Yin Ci.
"It seems like there is only one uncle separating you and your title …"
"Young master, what are you thinking about?"
Du Yueyao saw that Yin Yaoli seemed to be deep in thought and was curious about his reason. At that time, Yin Yaoli was also in a daze, blaming himself for not knowing more poems or something like that. It was indeed useless normally, but at this moment, he could definitely use it to show off …
He didn't think too much about it and replied, "It's nothing. I was thinking about a cousin of mine …"
"Oh? With a beautiful lady by his side, how could Young Master Yin think of his cousin? Young Master Yin is someone we have a whole new level of respect for. I don't know if there's anything fun to say, so we can all enjoy ourselves … "
When Yin Yaoli said that he was thinking about his younger cousin, he immediately regretted it … He had been living for such a long time, yet she couldn't figure out what she wanted him to do … Now, he wanted to cry, but there were no tears …
Think about what funny things could have happened to that boring idiot of his...
Silently crying in his heart … Laughing dryly twice …
"That cousin of mine is from the Su Zhou, so he doesn't have much experience."
As soon as he finished this sentence, someone immediately gave up...
"Brother Yin, you know about the rumors of heaven in the downstream of Suhang. That's a great place! I heard that it's even more interesting than the capital. Your cousin came from the Su Zhou, how could he not have seen it? "
Yin Yaoli was also extremely regretful. He thought about how carefree and unrestrained he was normally, how he was nostalgic and at the location of the wind and moon, how he danced with women and drank with them everyday while talking and laughing with them. He thought that he was a very carefree person, but why did he not know how to speak today? In front of such a beautiful lady … Was he really possessed by a decaying god?
And it just so happened that right at this moment, Du Yueyao smiled and added on …
"Young master, little girl Du Yueyao's hometown is also a person from the Su Zhou, but I've never heard of the Su Zhou being a place with no experience, if young master is not able to explain himself today, I'm afraid this little girl will not let young master go …"
That Yin Yaoli wanted to cry but no tears came out … Why isn't it suitable for me to travel today? Why did he have to offend a beauty?
He could only honestly say, "I won't hide it from the Miss, but I know that Su Zhou is a good place, but my little brother really makes people worry. He doesn't know how to drink and he doesn't know how to shop …" I wanted to take him out for fun, to see where he liked to go, but if he had any preferences, I was willing to accompany him. But to be honest, I really don't get along with him … I don't think there's going to be a common language in twenty years...
He's been wandering the streets all day, but guess what he's doing? He was looking for a shop to fill up the jade artifacts. "One of his mother's jade artifacts was broken, and she said that she wanted to find the best craftsmen to repair it unharmed …"
"This is rather boring indeed. I'll have to trouble Brother Yin then." Another young master by his side comforted him.
"Isn't that so? I told him to leave it to my servant if he really wanted to do it …" As long as the results are fixed... "But he didn't want to. He said that he wasn't at ease and was still wandering around this street day in and day out …"
