Chapter 30 Nothing to do today, listening to music in the brothel

"Nianwei, quick, open your mouth!"

"Mmm, my lord, there is so much juice, it's all flowing out!"

Nian Wei hurriedly sat up and picked up a handkerchief. While wiping the white juice overflowing from the corner of her mouth, she glanced at Chu Yao coquettishly.

Ye Xuan lay comfortably on the big bed, casually threw away the peel in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "This thing is called lychee, sweet and juicy, refreshing and soothing to the lungs, you can't buy it outside even if you have money."

Nianwei spit out the pit from her mouth, looked at it carefully, and then exclaimed: "Oh, this is the lychee that Yang Guifei, the traitorous concubine in the opera, loved the most?"

"How could this be false!" Ye Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and pulled Nian Wei back into his arms.

I saw Nianwei's charming eyes, which seemed to be full of affection.

"This thing grows in Lingnan. The opera says it is hard to come by. Your Excellency must have put a lot of effort into this thing, right?"

"Ha, it's nothing." Ye Xuan said indifferently: "Although it took a lot of effort to get it, as long as Nianwei likes it, a little debt of favor is nothing."

"If your Excellency owes you a favor for me, doesn't that mean that Nianwei owes you a favor?" Nianwei leaned on Ye Xuan's arms and acted like a spoiled child. "Nianwei doesn't want to owe you a favor!"

"I owe you even if I don't owe you anything. The most I can do is not bring it to you next time."

Nian Wei was furious and punched Ye Xuan's chest lightly with her pink fist, "Yes, Nian Wei wants to be the official... Yang Guifei!"

"Aren't you afraid of owing me a favor?" Ye Xuan teased.

Nian Wei's ears turned red, and her hands slowly slid down Ye Xuan's chest, "It's okay if I owe you. At most, Nian Wei will repay you for this favor."

After that, she whispered something in Ye Xuan's ear, and then gently grabbed him with her bare hands. Ye Xuan gasped in surprise: "Is this possible?"

Seeing Nian Wei nod, Ye Xuan couldn't wait to wave to the three female musicians who were playing tunes in front of the bed.

"You guys retreat first and come back in three hours!"

Nian Wei chuckled when she heard this, and covered her mouth and said, "Three hours, my lord, please don't try to make me happy!"

"How dare you, little rascal, challenge me? Today I'll let you know how powerful my Jinyiwei are!" Ye Xuan said as he was about to pounce on him, but the door that had just been closed was suddenly pushed open again.

"Oh, my girl, please go out and take a look!"

The madam arrived before she even showed up. When she pushed open the door and saw Ye Xuan, she quickly put away her panic and bowed politely. Then she continued, "There are people outside who want to see you. It's almost noisy!"

Nian Wei said impatiently: "Mom, didn't I say that I want to accompany Mr. Ye and not see any guests!"

The madam knew Ye Xuan's identity, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the Jinyiwei. Although she was annoyed, she still spoke kindly: "But you are our top courtesan after all. Even if you sell your art but not your body, we have to maintain the reputation of Miaoyin Pavilion."

After all, Nianwei is the signature product of Miaoyin Pavilion, and it would be unreasonable to simply refuse her.

Seeing Nian Wei's look, Ye Xuan didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded and said, "Go quickly and come back soon! If anyone is rude to you, just tell me, I will make sure he knows how powerful the prison guards are."

After saying this, he glanced at the madam with an ambiguous look. The madam smiled awkwardly and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I can't harm my own daughter."

"That's the best!" Ye Xuan nodded without comment.

Only then did the madam dare to pull Nianwei out of the room.

After a while, Ye Xuan heard cheers coming from the hall downstairs.

"Is this Miss Nianwei, the leader of the four most beautiful girls in Miaoyin Pavilion?"

"She is indeed a most beautiful lady in the world, with a distinguished and elegant temperament."

"No wonder even a talented scholar like Ye Liangchen was moved by it and wrote such a masterpiece as 'Huanxisha'!"

Ye Xuan vaguely heard a human voice. He shook his head with amusement while listening attentively.

It’s not that he likes to hear nice words, but he is worried that Nianwei will be spoken to in a disrespectful manner so that he can teach her a lesson as soon as possible.

After everyone was amazed for a while, they heard Nianwei say softly: "Thank you all for your kindness, but I have a close friend waiting for me in my room, so I can't keep you company." After you said this to comfort her, you seemed to be leaving.

The crowd waiting outside the house became noisy, and someone said indignantly:
"We have been waiting here for several days, why does Miss Nianwei always say she is busy?"

"That's right, I haven't left for a whole day and night, and I haven't seen anyone enter or leave the girl's room at all!"

"Could it be that you look down on us and so make excuses?"

At this time, the madam came out to smooth things over, "Gentlemen, calm down. There is indeed a guest in my daughter's room."

"Well, just treat it as if he has a guest!"

Someone said indignantly: "Three days and three nights with this guest should be enough. Is he some great and important person?"

"Big shot? Is he bigger than me? My father is Earl Chengyi!"

"What's the Earl of Chengyi? My uncle is Duke Xu!"

"What's the point of pretending to be an elder? This general became a guerrilla commander of the Yongwei Camp on his own!"

"Master, I won't compete with you in power. I will speak with real money if I have the ability!"

"Okay, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver!"

"You only want to have a kiss with Miss Nianwei for one thousand taels. Go ahead and dream on! I'll give you two thousand taels!"

"Everyone, please stop arguing. Nian Wei, your confidant, is really too important to accompany you."

After saying this, Nianwei knew that these people would not listen, so she left decisively.

It seemed that someone wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the brothel owner.

Everyone was indignant and clamored for Nian Wei's confidant to come out and compete.

The madam chuckled and said, "Nianwei's confidant is none other than Mr. Ye Liangchen, who wrote "Huanxisha". If anyone of you is confident that he can write a better poem than him, I believe Mr. Ye will leave in disgust."

"Well, is there anyone willing to compete in poetry?"

"You old procuress, since it's Mr. Ye, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"Hey, no matter how much money I have, it's useless compared to your talent!"

"That's all!"

……

Forbidden City, Fengtian Hall.

"Old man, do you dare to say that it is not deliberate suppression?"

"Yang Xian, how can you speak such foul language!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon throne, his eyes coldly looking at the two people who were arguing fiercely in the hall.

The two were Yang Xian, the left chancellor of the Secretariat, and Li Shanchang, who had just returned from sick leave.

Yang Xian's eyes widened in anger, staring at Li Shanchang and saying, "How did I say anything foul? If you are not an old man, what are you?"

"You, you are seeking revenge because you are resentful of me for dismissing your brother Yang Xisheng from his post!"

Li Shanchang wanted to call himself a scholar, but Yang Xian called him an old villain, which made him very angry.

Yang Xian sneered, "You said that this Prime Minister was seeking revenge, and I said that you were bullying others by taking advantage of your power and had no regard for the law!"

Just as the two were about to engage in a more intense quarrel, a light cough was suddenly heard from the dragon throne.
