Coming Kingly Son-in-Law: Don't Provoke the First Daughter - Chapter 82

Chapter 82 A Visit to the Brothel
“Your Highness, don’t interfere in what will happen next. It’s my business. If you are involved, Shen Zhongbai…the Emperor will make you suffer.” The Empress said. Then she stood up and walked out.

Shen Qianshan also stood up and said with a smile, “I’m afraid I can’t keep out of the affair. Fenghuang’s identity has been exposed. Now that it has come to the point, I think it’s better to go with you.”

If Shen Zhongbai was determined to kill him, it was impossible to change his mind. Why not fight back? The enemy of his enemy could be his friend. Even if the Empress was putting on an act, he believed that he was wise enough to deal with her and Shen Zhongbai.

The Empress turned around. After removing her phoenix coronet and robs of rank, she was dressed in a red robe and had an imposing manner. Even a man was dwarfed in front of her. However, she didn’t know how beautiful she was when looking back. A unique temperament flew from her eyes.

“I’m very grateful.” The Empress smiled and clenched her injured hand. The blood flew out of the bandage. Her eyes sparkled and looked like an ocean of stars. Shen Qianshan lowered his head hurriedly while thinking that any man would fall in love with her sooner or later because she was not only unusually wise and brave but very pretty.

When reaching the Manyue Tower, they looked at each other. Though all the people there were all dressed in men’s clothes, Xiang and Sha couldn’t hide the fact that they were women because they were not tall enough. But they had to enter since they were powerful and even more agile and skilled in Kungfu than men at critical moments.

The Empress was tall enough, but she looked too gorgeous. Even though she was disguised as a man, she still looked like a woman.

Shen Qianshan, Su Ge, and Jin Ye turned around to look at the Empress. She smiled and looked relaxed. Evidently, she was certain that they would make it this time. But her disguise would expose her gender, wouldn’t it?

The self-deceiving disguise was used to hide the identity. After all, she couldn’t enter in her own clothes. If Shen Zhongbai blamed her, her disguise could be used to deceive him. Even if she fooled him, what could he do? As the Emperor, he couldn’t enter the brothel, could he?

With hesitation, Shen Qianshan waved his fan and said, “Your Highness…Qiang, you know, I always lead an honest and clean life and have never entered a brothel. If I enter it for you, how bad my reputation will become!”

Qiang? Did it mean Shen Qianshan became so close to her now? But she was the Empress, and it was improper to address her by name.

But…it had been a long time since she was called Qiang last time. Suddenly, she recalled the man who always called her by name. For him, she was still the younger sister that followed him anywhere, no matter she was the Empress or the eldest daughter of the Gu Family.

He had been away for a long time. If he stayed with her, would she be troubled like this? No one knew how much wisdom and luck she needed for each step.

She used to rely on luck, while now she had to use her wisdom.

“Your Highness, or no, Qianshan. You never get close to women. It’s rumored that you are gay. Of course, I don’t think so. You seem to be clear about the brothel industry, do you run a brothel secretly, too? It is typical of you to keep your lovers in it and enjoy your life there, isn’t it?” The Empress said with a warm smile, but he wanted to slap her face hard. If she had not been the Empress, he would have given her a lesson. Of course, if she had not been the Empress, she couldn’t have been so arrogant.

“Bullshit…I live an honest and clean life!” Shen Qianshan bit his lips and clenched his fists. Refraining from beating the Empress, he entered the Manyue Tower first.

Su Ge and Jin Ye looked at each other astonishedly. The duke just said something rude? Did he really say that? He usually remained calm. They had worked for him for so many years but had never seen him irritated like this.

The Empress also waved her fan and entered smilingly.

Once entering, they were greeted with an unknown fragrance. No wonder it was the largest brothel in the capital. The Empress had never smelt such a fragrance. How strange it is! It seemed to be a mixture of all fragrances in the world. It went through her nose and reached her brain. Immediately, she felt limp, and her vision became blurred.

Her body became imbalanced. When she was close to blackout, she was held by a pair of hands, and then a handkerchief with water covered her nose. Consequently, she came around at once. Looking up, she found Shen Qianshan holding her and looking at her as if he had something embarrassing to say.

“It seems that you are not accustomed to such a place.” Shen Qianshan said smilingly and casually as if he was laughing at the Empress, but it wasn’t intentional.

She freed herself from his arms, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and glowered at him. She wanted to retort, but she said nothing finally.

He saved her at least. Now she knew what the fragrance in the brothel was. It might be something that could stimulate the desire of males and females. She hadn’t smelt it before, but she was not a fool, so she knew a little about it.

On the second floor, several prostitutes came closer to welcome the group of “men”. But after a careful look, there were some females among the group. It wasn’t rare for females to visit the brothel, but those were wives of officials or businessmen who came here to look for their husbands and hoped to win their hearts back.

However, it was rare that several women visited the brothel at the same time. Even the experienced prostitutes didn’t dare to approach them.

Without lingering, they went up to the second floor. Shen Qianshan grabbed a girl and asked, “Where is your boss?”

The girl looked up at Shen Qianshan and her eyes lit up. In the largest brothel of the capital, these prostitutes had seen plenty of men. The good-looking ones were generous.

The visitors to the brothel included some relatives of the royal family. They are tender and affectionate towards the prostitutes. It seemed that they would buy back the freedom of these girls at any time, take them back for good discipline, and then marry them.

Many prostitutes had such a dream and even felt it would come true soon.

Shen Qianshan wore clean clothes and looked calm and handsome. He seemed impressive even though he just stood there and did nothing. If a prostitute could win his heart, she would have the asset to boast for the rest of her life and even could become a top-ranked prostitute here.

Of course, the man just seemed to be like this. The superficial composure and abstinence meant nothing. Several men looked noble and dignified but were scary on the bed.

With these thoughts lingering in her mind, she kept looking up and down at Shen Qianshan. Even if he was not as good as she imagined, it would be worthwhile to sleep with him for one night.

The girl lowered her head, smiled embarrassedly, and pointed to a room at the end of the corridor. The room was right in the middle of the end. Its door was bigger than those of the adjacent rooms.

Walking past the rooms, the Empress could hear some strange voices, which were so embarrassing that she just wanted to reach her destination quickly.

She couldn’t help flushing and her face became burning hot when she remembered that she went here with Shen Qianshan as his sister-in-law. She hoped no one around noticed her, or how embarrassed she would be!

Shen Qianshan slowly opened the door of the room at the end of the corridor and the Empress walked in.

After layers of bead and cloth curtains, they saw a woman sitting in the center of the room. In her forties, she was drinking tea with her back towards the door. Without an imposing manner, she was putting on airs.

The Empress parted her lips and suddenly felt that she didn’t need to say anything now. She didn’t come here alone, and anyone with her could tell the woman why they came here. The middle-aged woman seemed to have predicted that the Empress would come here.

Such being the case, the Empress kept silent.

Jin Ye told the woman, “Madam, my master is looking for someone.”

The woman turned around. She was wearing heavy makeup and looked indifferent. Her bright red lips were parted slightly, and her cup was away from her mouth. She looked up at the comers.

“Buy back someone’s freedom?” The woman asked coldly. Though her tone was indifferent, it was seductive.

Most women in the brothel were like this. They tried to seduce men with their eyes, facial expressions, actions, and tones.

But in the eyes of the Empress, those women were not skilled enough and they could only attract the inexperienced men.

Men would only fall in love with cultured women, wouldn’t they?

With such a thought, the Empress smiled suddenly. She thought too much. Among the male visitors, who really wanted to be attracted by these women?
