On the other side, Young Master Zhou, who had just been carried away by patrolling soldiers,
Under the close protection of more than a dozen soldiers, they hurriedly headed towards the Imperial Hospital in the inner city.
As the group walked into a dark and secluded alley, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Who goes there? Don't you know there's a curfew?"
The soldier captain's expression hardened, and he quickly drew his long sword, shouting loudly, his voice echoing in the quiet alley.
Faced with the reprimand, the figure remained calm and slowly turned around.
In the dim moonlight, a strange expression appeared on his face as he murmured:
"This humble monk, Heng Hui, has come to claim my life!"
.......
Chapter 15 First Encounter with the Flower Queen of Floating Fragrance: Stunning and Alluring!
Outside the Plum Blossom Pavilion in the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Fu Xiang's personal maid came out and addressed the crowd.
"Which one of you is Young Master Wei Changxuan? My young lady invites you to come into the pavilion for a chat!"
Everyone present was surprised when they heard the maid's words.
After all, this was the first time that Fu Xiang, as the top courtesan of the Jiaofangsi, had taken the initiative to invite a guest!
"Since it is Miss Fu Xiang who has invited me, I will gladly accept the invitation!"
Wei Changxuan said with a smile on his face.
"Then we'll await your arrival, young master!"
As the maid left, the atmosphere outside the courtyard became somewhat awkward.
"Thank you all for your help tonight! I have to keep my appointment with Miss Fuxiang, so I'll be taking my leave now!"
Wei Changxuan cupped his hands in greeting to the fourth-rank expert from the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) in the distance, as well as his fellow night watchmen.
"Now that this matter is settled, everyone may leave!"
The fourth-rank expert from the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau) spoke, and everyone present responded in unison.
After all, tonight's events are neither a huge nor a small matter; it all depends on the power struggle between the two sides present.
"It's gone, it's gone!"
The night watchmen retreated first, followed by numerous skilled fighters from the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).
The remaining patrol soldiers were used for hard labor, repairing the cobweb-covered ground around them.
"Your Highness, that boy went into the pavilion. Should we go in too?"
Looking at Wei Changxuan's retreating figure, Zhang Yi immediately asked the young master beside him.
"Ha, of course I'll go in!"
Don't forget, we've booked the entire Plum Blossom Pavilion tonight!
If we give up now, won't all that money have been wasted?
The prince's face darkened, and then he waved his hand, leading the many second-generation members back into the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
He kept talking as he walked.
"In terms of strength, we cannot win today."
But whether you can sleep with a courtesan or not isn't a matter of martial prowess.
Those who hunt must also be proficient in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
"That guy's nothing but a crude brute; what poetic talent could he possibly have?"
"Exactly! These crude brutes only know how to fight and kill their whole lives. What do they know about poetry and literature!"
"That's right, if force doesn't work, let's try something else! Then we'll make this guy cover his face and smear the floor."
"With the Crown Prince's poetry and prose, it's a piece of cake!"
This guy must be taught a lesson: a crude brute is a crude brute! He's utterly unfit for refined manners!
……
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and their confidence was restored.
After all, when it comes to fighting, they are no match for these crude brutes.
But if it comes to poetry and prose, ten crude and uncouth men combined are no match for even one of them!
……
Inside the small pavilion at this time.
A woman in a light gauze dress dances gracefully.
Fine wine and delicious food were plentiful, and the red candles shone brightly.
Wei Changxuan looked at the scene before him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Behind the sheer curtain, Fu Xiang parted her red lips slightly, speaking in a soft and alluring voice.
"Young Master Wei, Fu Xiang greets you!"
"Since it was Miss Fuxiang who invited me, I naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure."
Wei Changxuan found an empty table and sat down. Soon, a maid brought him fine wine and food.
At this moment, the prince and others who had left outside the courtyard also returned and took their seats again.
"Young Master Wei, I apologize for offending Brother Zhou just now. I hope you won't take it to heart."
The prince picked up a cup of wine and said with a smile.
However, this is all just superficial behavior from the sons of officials.
Wei Changxuan believed that if these guys had the chance to use underhanded tactics, they would certainly not be polite.
But we are all people of status, much better than that fool Zhou Gongzi.
At least on the surface, everything appeared harmonious.
"Not at all, how could I possibly bother with a dead dog!"
"If a dog bites you, does the prince have to bite back?"
Wei Changxuan also picked up a glass of wine, but his face showed a hint of mockery.
Upon hearing Wei Changxuan's words, everyone present looked rather grim.
Although the man surnamed Zhou was a spoiled brat, he was still a member of their circle.
Wei Changxuan's bluntness was tantamount to disrespecting them.
However, they couldn't refute this, since Wei Changxuan was in the right.
"Hehe, Brother Wei is joking!"
The prince chuckled twice at this, then changed the subject to the main topic.
"Since Brother Wei has come to Plum Shadow Pavilion, he must know the rules here."
This hunt has only just begun, and Brother Wei has unfortunately stumbled upon it.
"Then I'll trouble Miss Fuxiang to act as the host!"
The prince bowed respectfully to the person behind the light gauze partition.
"Of course, Fu Xiang is extremely honored!"
Inside the sheer curtain, Fu Xiang moved with light, graceful steps, lifting the curtain to appear before everyone.
"Wow! Miss Fu Xiang is indeed a fairy, so charming and beautiful!"
"I've long heard of Miss Fuxiang's reputation as a courtesan, and seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved!"
"Greetings, Miss Fuxiang!"
……
With the appearance of Fu Xiang, everyone present showed amazement.
At this moment, Fu Xiang ignored the praise from the second-generation rich kids.
Instead, her alluring eyes were fixed on Wei Changxuan's direction...
Chapter 16: Get out of the way, this young master is about to show off!
Inside the warm pavilion, wisps of incense curled gently, like soft gauze curtains, enveloping the entire space in a beautiful and ambiguous atmosphere.
With light, graceful steps, her figure was as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze. Every step she took was extremely light, like a fairy descending from the clouds, exuding charm in every gesture.
She swayed her slender waist and slowly approached Wei Changxuan, her red lips slightly parted.
The voice was soft, sweet, and gentle, like the most tender breeze in spring, gently caressing the heart.
"This must be Young Master Wei!"
He is indeed handsome and dashing, a truly outstanding man!
After speaking, she bowed slightly, her movements elegant and dignified, looking nothing like a courtesan but rather like a young lady from a wealthy family.
Wei Changxuan's lips curled into a perfectly timed smile, a smile tinged with amusement.
His gaze roamed over Fu Xiang without restraint.
The seemingly delicate and beautiful courtesan before us is actually a demon tail clone of Ye Ji, the fallen princess of the Southern Border Demon Kingdom.
At this moment, in Wei Changxuan's eyes, Fu Xiang's face was radiant with spring, just like a peach blossom just beginning to bloom on a branch in spring, delicate and beautiful.
Her eyes sparkled, her gaze was lively, and her fragrance was unique. A thin gauze dress perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
Her shoulders were partially exposed, and her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the hazy gauze dress, revealing the graceful lines of her slender neck.
And those wide and deep ravines exude an indescribable allure.
"Oh, no, the courtesan Fu Xiang is also stunningly beautiful! I wonder if I could spend this night with Miss Fu Xiang?"
