Who could've told them that their Taizi-dianxia, who has always been devoted to national affairs, would issue this kind of idle order so abruptly and uncharacteristically, and even let the soldiers of the western suburbs military camps enforce it?
During the chaos, the activity from outside also spread to Mudan Pavilion. Ren Anle raised the corners of her mouth, a little surprised. As expected of Dajing's crown prince; he usually keeps quiet, but once he moves, it becomes a big deal.
An Ning got up, speaking with a wry smile: "Must have been discovered." As she said that, she looked at Linlang: "Linlang-guniang, thank you very much for playing the music today."
"Being able to play for the two young ladies, it is Linlang's honour." Linlang stood up and returned the bow, and escorted Ren Anle and An Ning out of the room.
The soldiers in the lobby stood holding their halberds, unusually solemn. The guests in the lobby who had not left yet saw the two women walking out of Mudan Pavilion, all of their eyes widening in surprise.
The ten thousand taels of silver that covered the courtesan's performance, and the nobles that each and every one of the building's guests did not dare to speak of, were these two women?
Although their character was extraordinary and their presence was majestic, how could women visit a brothel with such grandiosity, it was really an insult to decency!
( to make no secret of one's presence)
The guests in the building were not fools either. Feeling that the soldiers in the lobby were visibly relieved after seeing the two appear, they immediately lowered their heads and moved out of the way.
The noblewoman who could make the crown prince mobilize the camp in the western suburbs, her identity was revealed. It was heard that An Ning-gongzhu's temperament was brazen, but it wasn't thought to be unruly to this extent. Those who wanted a long life wished that they had never showed up in Lingxiang Lou tonight. It's just… one was An Ning-gongzhu, who was the one next to her?
( describes people who do risky things)
Looking at that appearance and posture, it was a bit more free and easygoing than An Ning-gongzhu's.
A muffled "dong" sounded, breaking the suffocating atmosphere and successfully stopping the footsteps of the two people who were about to step out of Lingxiang Lou.
Everyone wailed internally and raised their eyes one after another to look towards the wooden stairs.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old young girl in a long, dark green skirt rolled down the wooden stairs in a frantic escape and crawled in front of Ren Anle in a flash. She grabbed the hem of Ren Anle's skirt anxiously and cried:
"Xiaojie, save me."
Ren Anle lowered her head. She looked at the young girl who was crying with snot and tears, her eyebrows wrinkling: "What's the matter?"
An Ning turned around and held her chin to watch the good show.
"Xiaojie, I beg you to redeem me out of here. Being a cow or a horse, I'm willing."
(to work extremely hard)
The young girl was out of breath from crying, but obviously, no one could tell what had actually happened from these few words. Yu-daniang ran down from the wooden stairs; her stout body was extremely flexible, and she rushed in front of Ren Anle, saying in embarrassment: "Xiaojie, this girl was bought a few days ago. She still doesn't understand the rules and has disturbed the young lady. May xiaojie please forgive me." Then she immediately scolded: "Hongxiu, hurry up and go in."
The young girl called Hongxiu didn't move a muscle, just gripping Ren Anle's skirt hem tightly.
It was obvious when looking at Ren Anle and An Ning that they had extraordinary family backgrounds, and they were women, so this young girl made such a big commotion, hoping that the two of them would show compassion and redeem her out. Everyone had almost guessed the outcome. After all, redeeming a woman out of a brothel was considered a good deed, and one could gain a good reputation.
"Hongxiu, how did you get into Lingxiang Lou?" Ren Anle spoke lightly.
