Normally, isn't it only those who have been hurt in their feelings who resist marriage? No woman has ever appeared beside King Luo, so why does he resist marriage?
Su Wan'er couldn't figure it out.
Si Cheng Jing didn't seem to want to say his reasons, but suddenly suggested: "Brother Emperor, you won a great victory in the polo game today. Why don't we go and celebrate?"
"Celebrate?" Su Wan'er knew he didn't want to say what was on his mind, and she didn't force him, just nodded and agreed to his suggestion.
In order to let her experience "the hardships of the common people", Si Cheng Jing directly let her abandon the carriage. The three of them began to stroll on the street.
Although Su Wan'er liked to stroll on the street when she was young, that was a long time ago. Since she entered the palace gate, she has been completely isolated from the world.
It was also good to relax on this great day.
Thinking this way, Su Wan'er let Si Cheng Jing lead the way.
The playboy prince, Si Cheng Jing, was not just for show. He knew where the food was delicious and where it was fun. Even some shops were hidden in the nooks and crannies, and he could still lead the way for Su Wan'er accurately.
Seeing that the night was approaching, after Su Wan'er ate the last plate of lotus cakes, she said to Si Cheng Jing: "Alright, it's getting late. I should go back to the palace."
Si Cheng Jing pulled her back: "Wait, Brother Emperor, when it gets dark, the real show begins."
Su Wan'er looked at him in confusion: "The real show?"
"Yes, the real show. Just follow me." After saying that, he paid the bill, and then took Su Wan'er towards the door.
Hearing the word "show", Su Wan'er thought he would take her to a theater. Who would have thought that he would take her to the Drunken Red Brothel.
Su Wan'er looked at the redness, and hesitation appeared in her eyes.
"Brother... Big Brother, what are you doing? Come with me." After Si Cheng Jing told the madam inside, he found that Su Wan'er and Fang Xi were standing still. He was immediately anxious and called to Su Wan'er.
"Sir..." Fang Xi turned to look at Su Wan'er, waiting for Su Wan'er to make a decision.
Actually, Su Wan'er was quite interested in the Drunken Red Brothel, which only men could enter. If it were normal, she would definitely take advantage of her current identity and enter. However, this morning, Si Jun Lin had warned her not to do anything that would disgrace his reputation... If she entered the Drunken Red Brothel now, wouldn't it be greatly damaging his image?
Si Cheng Jing came to Su Wan'er's side again at this time and said to Su Wan'er: "Big Brother, don't worry. No one here will recognize you."
Su Wan'er thought about it and felt that Si Cheng Jing's words made sense, so she followed him in.
Fang Xi could only lower his head and follow Su Wan'er in.
Since Si Cheng Jing was a regular customer here, a room was quickly arranged for him. After a while, a woman he often summoned came up.
"Qing Yi pays respects to Young Master Jing Cheng."
"Big Brother, you should also summon one. Otherwise, it will be so boring." After Si Cheng Jing hugged Qing Yi, he turned to Su Wan'er and said.
After the madam heard Si Cheng Jing's words, she immediately brought up a picture album: "Young Master, take a look. See if there is anyone you like. If there is, just tell me. I will definitely find her for you."
Su Wan'er looked at the picture album the madam had brought over. After choosing for a moment, she pointed to the beauty on the first page, Mei Hong: "Just her." Since she was going to choose, she might as well choose the highest level one.
The madam saw this and laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared: "Hey, good, good, good. I'll go and summon her for you now. Young Master, please go to the elegant room on the second floor and wait for a moment."
Su Wan'er was then taken to an elegant room on the second floor by a servant of the Drunken Red Brothel.
After entering, there was a faint fragrance. At first glance, it didn't feel like a brothel at all. Instead, it felt like she had accidentally entered a young lady's boudoir.
In particular, there was an unfinished painting on the desk in front of the window. It should be the beautiful scenery of the Mei Liu River outside the window.
Since she had come, it would be a waste if she didn't play.
Su Wan'er raised her hand and picked up the pen and ink, and carefully painted on the unfinished painting.
Just as she finished painting, the door opened, and a faint fragrance of osmanthus floated in.
"Your servant, Mei Hong pays respects to the guest." The gentle voice gave Su Wan'er goosebumps.
Su Wan'er turned to look, and all she saw was a gorgeous red.
Mei Hong slowly raised her head. She truly had skin like coagulated fat, red lips like blood, and a beautiful appearance that did not seem like a mortal. Instead, she seemed like a charming demon who had transformed into a human form. Every frown and smile carried a little bit of a soul-stirring aura.
Not to mention men, even Su Wan'er couldn't help but blush and her heart race.
"Young Master?" Mei Hong stared for a long time, but she didn't wait for Su Wan'er's answer. She was a little confused and raised her head. Then, when she raised her head, she saw Su Wan'er in a daze.
A hint of success flashed in her eyes. This was the effect she wanted. As long as the man in front of her was addicted to her beauty, it would be much easier for her to complete the task her master had assigned her later.
Only then did Su Wan'er come back to her senses: "Cough cough, hello."
"Young Master, please take a seat." Mei Hong pulled out the chair. After Su Wan'er sat down, a few people like maids came in and served a delicate dinner.
Mei Hong saw that Su Wan'er didn't seem to want to talk. According to her information, the person in front of her had never entered a brothel before. He should be unfamiliar with it, so she took the initiative to find a topic.
"I saw that you were painting in front of the window just now?" Mei Hong passed a cup of wine to Su Wan'er and asked Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er picked it up and drank it: "That's right. I just thought it was a pity that the painting was not finished, so I painted it casually. I hope the young lady won't blame me."
"How could I?" Mei Hong picked up the painting and carefully examined it for a while: "Young Master's painting skills are delicate. It can be seen that the young master is a careful person. This painting is very good. It portrays the starry sky vividly. If I were to paint it myself, I might not be able to paint such a mood."
"I really have to thank the young master. If it weren't for the young master, this painting might never have the possibility of being completed." As she said that, she also got up and bowed to Duan Qi Yun.
Su Wan'er waved her hand: "Young Lady Mei Hong is overpraising me."
Mei Hong looked at Su Wan'er with some regret and said: "Young Master doesn't know. Mei Hong originally lived in a family that didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Unfortunately, that year, the great river in the south suddenly caused trouble. The flood submerged three cities in the south and also scattered my family. Under the hunger and cold, I could only throw myself into this brothel and live a life like a floating duckweed."
As she said that, she sighed helplessly.
