Chapter 28: A Night of Spring is Worth a Thousand Gold
Chapter 28: A Night of Spring is Worth a Thousand Gold
Ye Xuan originally thought that most women in brothels liked bright colors and few preferred plain and elegant styles.
Perhaps it was because he was too deeply influenced by the film and television works in his previous life, or perhaps it was because he had a stereotype left by occasionally passing through certain alleys and seeing those passionate and lonely women all dressed up extremely seductively.
When Ye Xuan saw Nian Wei dressed beautifully in the lobby, he thought that Miaoyin Pavilion had specially created a pure character for her.
But looking at the boudoir in front of me, the furnishings are simple and elegant, and the walls are covered with copied poems and paintings. The brushstrokes are soft and long, and it is obvious that they were written by a woman.
In this way, Ye Xuan had a rough idea of Nianwei in his mind, including what kind of person she was and what kind of personality she had.
Just as I was lost in thought, the door was gently pushed open with a creaky sound.
Ye Xuan turned his head and smiled, "Miss Nianwei has kept me waiting for a while."
Nian Wei was slightly stunned, probably because she didn't expect Ye Xuan to call himself "official". But when she thought of Ye Xuan's literary talent, she felt relieved.
So even the name was changed.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ye has already entered the court as an official. With your talent, it is natural for you to be appointed as an official. I just want to ask you how many places you ranked in the imperial court?"
When asked this question, Nianwei's heart was lifted.
In her opinion, with Ye Xuan's literary talent, even if he couldn't pass the imperial examination, he would at least be a second-class Jinshi, but she didn't know which place he would get.
But if Ye Xuan is among the top three, then my chastity that I have kept for eighteen years would really be beyond my reach.
At least it was spread out that Nian Wei was favored by one of the top three men in the world, and even the famous Yangzhou Skinny Horse was not as good as her.
Ye Xuan chuckled, "I have never passed the test."
Nianwei was surprised when she heard this, and then felt a little sorry for Ye Xuan.
"That is a nominal position granted by the emperor. It is a pity that Mr. Ye's talent should be displayed in front of the emperor and become famous throughout the world."
Ye Xuan shook his head again, and suddenly his words were filled with murderous intent, "I am a captain of the Jinyiwei, holding real power and the power of life and death!"
Perhaps it was because the Jinyiwei had such a fierce reputation, or perhaps there was a hint of murderous intent in Ye Xuan's words.
Nianwei was so frightened that she took several steps back. Not only did she sprain her ankle and was about to fall, but the tray containing the teapot in her hand also fell to the ground.
In a flash, Ye Xuan stretched out his right arm and dangerously embraced Nianwei in his arms; his left hand reached down and steadily caught the tray.
The two young bodies were filled with hot blood and were hugging each other tightly at this moment.
Nian Wei opened her eyes wide, and had not yet recovered from her panic. After a long time, she screamed "Ah" and quickly broke free from Ye Xuan's arms.
"Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye, I am so sorry. I didn't mean it."
Ye Xuan chuckled, sniffing the faint fragrance still lingering in his nostrils. Without mentioning the embarrassment just now, he placed the tray gently on the table with his backhand.
"I thought Miss Nianwei would treat me with wine, but it turned out to be tea."
"Does your Excellency like to drink?"
Ye Xuan shook his head, looking at Nian Wei's clothes which were a little messy due to the fall, and said: "Actually, I don't like drinking. Drinking can easily make people lose their temper.
People who commit promiscuous acts are confused and only know how to take things by force without any thought of compassion. Even if they succeed, they will not be able to appreciate it in the future.
How can it be like tasting tea, where you can savor it slowly, letting the flavor linger between your lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste! "
Nian Wei's cheeks flushed when she heard that. She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth. After a moment, she said angrily, "Even someone as talented as you, your Excellency, always makes us confused and unable to understand his true meaning."
"Hmm? Just sharing my experience of drinking tea."
Nianwei stamped her feet lightly, seeming a little embarrassed and annoyed.
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Nian Wei was so angry. He simply ignored her and poured himself tea.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Ye Xuan did not make any move, Nian Wei turned around, snorted, snatched the teapot and poured a cup for Ye Xuan herself.
"The gentleman is very talented, but he doesn't understand girls at all."
Ye Xuan touched his nose awkwardly after hearing this. Even though he had lived two lives, he didn't have many ways to deal with girls. Seeing Ye Xuan's embarrassment, Nian Wei gradually came to her senses.
I thought with some shame: "So Mr. Ye is really talking about his experience of drinking tea, this..."
As Nianwei thought about it, her face turned red again. She clutched the handkerchief tightly and bit her red lips lightly, not even daring to look at Ye Xuan's face.
Her thoughts were getting confused and she suddenly recalled the knowledge that the madam had taught her and her body started to feel hot.
"Sir, why don't you let Nianwei help you bathe and change clothes?"
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. This little girl is a little anxious.
However, since the beautiful lady invited him, Ye Xuan would not refuse.
Nodding, "Thank you."
After a while, the hot water for the bathtub was ready.
"Please take a bath, sir."
Ye Xuan walked slowly behind the screen, where a pool of hot water with flower petals floating on it was emitting steam.
Before Ye Xuan could make any move, two tender hands suddenly rested on her shoulders.
"Nianwei will help the master change his clothes." After Nianwei finished speaking, she lowered her head in shame.
"This...this is not necessary." Now it was Ye Xuan's turn to be at a loss.
God have mercy on me, although Ye Xuan is not a novice, he has never played with mandarin ducks in his previous life!
Seeing Ye Xuan so uneasy, Nian Wei inexplicably found him very cute.
He was a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, holding great power and deciding life and death as he said, but at this moment he acted so naive.
This made Nianwei couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Xuan was instantly furious, and he scooped up a handful of water and threw it at Nian Wei, "Okay, you dare to laugh at me."
"No, no, how can you be so stingy, sir?"
"And you still say I'm stingy?"
"Ah, sir, I'm wet, stop splashing me!"
After a fight, the distance between the two hearts was slowly narrowed.
When Ye Xuan finished his shower and walked out, steaming all over, he found that Nian Wei had disappeared again.
"Ah…"
Ye Xuan smiled helplessly. Is this girl a fox? She suddenly disappeared.
Shaking his head and looking around, Ye Xuan's breathing suddenly stagnated.
Behind the screen of the couch, the flickering candlelight reflected a graceful figure who was slowly taking off her clothes.
"Sir, it's time to rest..."
…………
"Hey... Don't you think my poem is good? Why did the four most beautiful girls choose it instead of me?"
Fatty Huang looked at Xiaotao and Xiaolu in his arms with jealousy.
Because Ye Xuan left, these two women became obsessed with him.
"Mr. Huang's poems are naturally excellent, it's just that those courtesans have no taste." Xiao Tao flattered against her conscience.
Xiao Lu also came up to flatter him, "That's right. It's getting late. Master Huang, shall we go to rest together?"
Fatty Huang's face turned bitter when he heard this. He had agreed that Ye Xuan would treat him, but he didn't bring much silver with him.
After paying for the drinks, is there still money left to hire two girls?
He immediately pulled a straight face and said hypocritically: "No, no, I have official business to attend to. Goodbye!"
