Despite his erudite appearance, the second prince, with his beautiful black hair fastened with a simple jade accessory and his beautiful phoenix eyes with deep dark eyes. Of course, his appearance was more for the delicate scholar than a true scholar.
Unfortunately, his appearance was too misleading, the second imperial prince had a rather sharp tongue.
Zhao Shinou (second prince) had a gentle smile and a warm look. However, his words were quite malicious.
"Xiao Jiayi, what do you think about meeting in a private room tonight to exchange scholarly knowledge about literature? It would also be good to taste the good food and drink in the city, I heard that the brothel in this city is quite famous. It would be nice we both talk about the future "said Zhao Shinou in a soft and persuasive voice.
Of course, the people who were close to the two handsome young men looked strangely.
First thing, the brothel in the city of Nan Kan is no more, it became a high-class inn, which had a large lounge with companions. This was very shocking when the young master Chu decided to end the brothel and even had protests from nobles and ordinary people.
But who could beat the eloquent Chu Jiayi and the tyrannical Chu Family?
Everyone had to swallow their complaints and soon the most famous brothel in the region had ceased to exist and became Inn Three Hearts.
The concept of companions was also introduced. People who accompanied the customers while they drank and had fun, they also took care of the customer so that it did not cause damage or be embarrassed.
Of course, it was not like the companions of Chu Jiayi's previous and modern world, as these ancient men and women had various classical talents such as playing guqin and flute, or they knew exotic dances or they recited poetry with mastery.
Then the companions of the Inn Three Hearts besides drinking with the guest, dance, sing, play guqin and recite poetry.
However, selling sex was prohibited inside and outside the establishment. Chu Jiayi made the biggest fuss about selling children and selling sex, he put some strict laws in place to stop this kind of thing.
Well, it was still happening outside the city of Nan Kan, since it was impossible for a law to change people's morale in a few months, but there were guards specialized (police) in hunting these people who break those laws.
This put fear in the hearts of many nobles and traders, but it is clear that the black market thought that this was an opportunity to profit more.
Chu Jiayi would later leave the mission of ending the black market to his first and only older brother (half brother), Chu Qiao. However, that is another story for another time.
The people around were surprised by the second prince's blatant conversation with Chu Jiayi. This is due to the fact that this conversation seemed something other than a simple invitation to talk.
In addition, Chu Jiayi is a man committed to an Immortal Realms cultivation-level martial cultivator, isn't this second prince afraid of death?
Not to mention that the Chu Family is totally against the Empire, it would not be long before this large family would soon rebel and separate from the empire, forming a free city.
So the second Prince's conversation sounded like a threat or a flirt. As if this Second Imperial Prince wanted to seduce or win the favor of the young master Chu.
Either way very serious and sounded alarming to these close people.
Didn't that mean the Empire was not going to give up their region?
Chu Jiayi just smiled and pretended not to have heard the Prince's ulterior motives.
"I am sorry to have to decline, Your Majesty. I am a committed man and I must not meet men in private rooms at night" said Chu Jiayi with a sweet smile, showing how dear and respected his fiance was in his heart.
Of course, if it was Sheng Li or Chu Fang ... In fact, if it were any other man who had invited Chu Jiayi, he would probably think whether he should go or not, it would depend on what kind of benefit he could get in a negotiation. Yes, Chu Jiayi's mind was still very much focused on business!
However, as the second prince is a person who had such a look ... loaded with "good" wishes ... he quickly refused.
"Xiao Jiayi, why? You don't look like someone who would lower your head to other people. But now you even refuse to have a business meeting because of that fiance ... This is very different from the young master I met last year" Zhao Shinou spoke with a cold look and a smile full of mockery. As if he wanted to point out that this groom was a possessive man and that he made Chu Jiayi lower his pride.
"My ass business meeting! That was his literally chasing my butt!" Chu Jiayi thought angrily, showing an even bigger smile.
"First, I do not remember allowing you to call me so intimately. So, please act with the proper decorum of a member of the Imperial family. Although I owe you no satisfaction in my life, Your Majesty. I would still like to say to you, that my fiancé does not cause me any problems and does not make me lose pride. On the contrary, he is a man who compliments me very well! I am very proud of him! " Chu Jiayi said the last sentence in a loud tone. He wanted everyone to know about it.
Chu Jiayi is not a fool who thinks that everyone has accepted his monogamous relationship with a man. There was always a malicious comment circulating around the city or how the nobles "lamented" that the young master Chu had been seduced by a man. There were even nasty comments about Tao Kang to be like a fox corrupting the irreproachable young master Chu.
Sure, those people who had the wrong thinking about Tao Kang felt ashamed, but even so, they thought that Tao Kang was not good enough for Chu Jiayi. Only now they couldn't say it openly since Chu Jiayi declared their love so openly.
Therefore, Chu Jiayi spoke loudly so that everyone would know that he is very proud of his fiance, which was not a lie. Of course, he didn't know if the relationship between him and Tao Kang would last a long time, after all, there are still a lot of wildflowers out there.
Sure, Chu Jiayi would be a great gardener and would prune all those flowers in shame, but he wasn't the controlling type or the boss, nor was he apparently possessive. So if Tao Kang decides to leave him for someone else, well he would just move on.
However, as long as the two were in a relationship, Chu Jiayi would be Tao Kang's greatest defender.
In the tree where Tao Kang was hiding, he could hear the discussion. He was keeping watch over Fen Yue who had a poisonous look on the two handsome men talking.
Of course, he heard his husband say that he was proud of him.
Oh, why did he look like he was walking on clouds now? Was spring already here? Because he felt like he was in a field of flowers with the sun soft or bathed!
Tao Kang could even hum at that moment, his heart was vibrating with happiness, he even had an idiotic smile on his face!
"My husband is the best!" thought Tao Kang, feeling the luckiest of men.
Passionate men are more foolish than women!
"Forget the enemies of the past life, I have to beat up this shameless prince who is trying to flirt with my husband first!" thought Tao Kang after coming out of his pink state.
Of course, he was outraged that he was being underestimated by this idiotic second prince.
Chu Jiayi belonged to him! How can anyone dare take his Chu Jiayi away from him?
Who cares about the hero's dignity or the dignity of an Immortal Realms?
Tao Kang was going to beat this second prince until he became black and blue, as soon as he had a chance!
