Liu Hong felt that it was strange that the young miss of the Zhongshu Officer Palace was actually so familiar with the streets and alleys of the Shangjing City. Why does it seem like the young miss of the Zhongshu Officer Palace had grown up on this street? Along the way, he even warmly greeted many vendors.

At this moment, Liu Hong was actually being led by Nangong Waner through the streets of Shangjing City, as the sound of various stalls hawking could be heard. Nangong Waner would turn his head to look from time to time, but he did not linger too much, as he looked on the expression on his face … No money?!

Nangong Waner led Liu Hong through the streets and alleys before finally walking straight up to a tea stall and sitting down. The feeling was random, as if he had returned to his own home, and at this time, it was already afternoon, and the streets were filled with crowds of people, and the tea stall was filled with people. When someone saw that Nangong Waner had arrived, they seemed to actually be very familiar with him, so they consciously placed a handful of melon seeds in front of him.

The person at the stall started to narrate the gossip vividly, talking about how the eldest daughter of the Zhongshu Officer Palace actually did not die, but that was more or less it. She was afflicted with an illness and was unable to escape the calamity, but she was lucky enough to get the Prince Zhan's help to treat her, and today someone had personally witnessed the Prince Zhan carrying the dying Nangong Waner into the Duke Palace.

Liu Hong could not help but twitch her face. She looked at Nangong Waner, and Nangong Waner was actually listening to the gossip with great interest.

Liu Hong could not help but admire in his heart, the young miss of the Zhongshu Officer Palace was indeed not an ordinary person.

Nangong Waner seemed to have felt Liu Hong's gaze, he turned and spoke to Liu Hong in a low voice, "I like to listen to my gossips the most. I used to come and listen every day. I was sometimes dead, sometimes alive, sometimes silly, sometimes sober. Today, however, there was something new. I was half dead. But I believe that given enough time, I will definitely be saved by the Prince Zhan! " Nangong Waner could not help but laugh.

Not long after, the gossip-monger left due to family matters, and the others began to gossip about other matters. The concubine who stole the information was the younger brother of the one who stole the information. There was an old lady in the main house of Shangjing's Palace. She was still young and hadn't even married out for twenty years, but her parents were worried. Nangong Waner was not very interested in her, but after listening for a while, he pulled Liu Hong and left.

After walking for a while, Nangong Waner saw that it was neither early nor late, and decided to eat outside. He then led Liu Hong to the Four Seasons Garden and ordered two roasted pig's feet that she yearned for in her heart. He gave one to Liu Hong and ordered a hot dish and a vegetable dish, indicating for Liu Hong to sit and eat together with them.

What Liu Hong had taught him from the Duke Palace's etiquette, naturally he did not want to do so. Nangong Waner replied, "There's no need to be that formal, and I'm not even the Miss of the Duke's Palace. I'm destined to be with you, so why not become your sworn sister?"

Liu Hong naturally knew that this was a half-truth half-joke on Nangong Waner's part, but looking at Nangong Waner's casual and easygoing attitude, and the sincere tone in his voice, Liu Hong was still moved in his heart. Nangong Waner didn't have any difference in levels to others. However, Liu Hong still adhered to his duty and refused to sit down.

Nangong Waner could only sigh, "I already spent money on it, if you don't eat it, it will be so cold that it will not taste good. I can only throw it away, and waste my silver, I naturally want it from your master."

When Liu Hong heard the two words "Duke", he was so scared that his face turned green and he immediately sat down to eat. However, when Nangong Waner saw her expression, it was as if she was eating poison.

Nangong Waner sighed in his heart. Forget it, he had done bad things again.

Nangong Waner and Liu Hong did not speak during the meal, and did not taste anything.

After the meal, Nangong Waner originally wanted to return to his residence, but when he saw the densely packed streets at the entrance, his heart started to race and he quickly squeezed into the crowd of people. Liu Hong quickly followed.

Nangong Waner saw that everyone was standing on both sides of the street, looking up and down. Nangong Waner also looked in the direction everyone was looking, but he did not see anything.

Nangong Waner patted a passerby on the side and asked sincerely, "Big brother, what are you watching?"

"They say it's the number one card of the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion, Su Xiangxiang's palanquin is passing by, everyone is waiting to see." That big brother was rather easy to talk to, so he quickly replied.

Hearing that, Nangong Waner also stopped moving, and waited just like everyone else. Oh, the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion, Nangong Waner had heard of it before.

The Heaven Fragrant Pavilion was the best brothel in Shangjing City, and it had a very high reputation even in Shangjing City and the entire dynasty. The boss of the Fragrant Sky Pavilion had a good marketing style, not only picking up customers but also making an appointment with a number seven days in advance. When the time came for business, any guest who wanted to enter the store would have to come with an appointment number. If you don't have an appointment badge, you won't accept it no matter how rich you are. I've heard that there are a lot of nobles and rich people who didn't have an appointment tag and were kicked out of the Pavilion of Heavenly Fragrance.

The boss was also an expert at hungry marketing, Nangong Waner had lamented more than once.

There were also rumors circulating around the market that the Pavilion of Heavenly Fragrance kept twelve beauties, and every month there would be a ranking competition. At the end of the month, the competition would be announced, and all the high ranking ladies would have a higher price. However, in the last two to three years, the first name had always been Su Xiangxiang. Su Xiangxiang was extremely mysterious and only showed up for display at the end of the month Ranking Tournament. It was rumored that Su Xiangxiang had a charming appearance and her body was alluring to the bone. She was extremely charming when she talked and walked, and any man who took a glance at her would definitely have a climax. Hearing about this, Nangong Waner thought, did this Su Xiangxiang bring his own aphrodisiac?

However, there was a rumor later on that Su Xiangxiang was not refusing guests, but was instead being kept by an extremely rich man for a long period of time.

There was even rumour that during the end of month ranking competition, Su Xiangxiang had followed the old rules and demonstrated that there was a rich man from Jiang-Nan who insisted on paying Su Xiangxiang money to return home as his wife. Su Xiangxiang rejected him without even thinking. Su Xiangxiang frowned unhappily. The hearts of the men below the stage were about to break, they all went up and surrounded the rich man from Jiangnan and beat him half to death. Therefore, the rumors about Su Xiangxiang spread like wildfire, saying that she was the woman that all the men in the Tian Sheng empire wanted.

Regarding the Heaven Fragrant Pavilion, Nangong Waner was naturally very curious, and waited with his legs crossed.

Liu Hong's expression was not good, but he did not say anything, and quietly waited behind Nangong Waner.
