Chapter 309 Qi Huai's Side Story 3

Yun Fuzhao reasonably suspected that he possessed bewitching magic, but in the short time it took to talk to him, she felt as if he had bewitched her very soul.

Just like now, she spoke almost without hesitation: "Of course I like you. If it weren't for your noble status, I would have liked to take you into the Princess's mansion."

Only after she finished speaking did she belatedly realize that her words had been somewhat offensive.

Qi Huai didn't show any disdain on his face; instead, he chuckled softly.

She seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Before actually meeting him, Yun Fuzhao had heard of the Right Chancellor's reputation. He had heard that the Chancellor was ruthless and would even expose his own relatives when he got cold-blooded.

He even earned the nickname "Living Yama" when he was out in public.

At first, Yun Fuzhao thought that because she had said those things to him, he would definitely make things difficult for her, and she was worried for a long time.

Unexpectedly, apart from an official who disliked her submitting a remonstrance, nothing else happened.

After spending the past few days together, Yun Fuzhao found this so-called "living devil" to be quite easy to get along with. Even when she said something offensive, he simply smiled and let it go.

As time went by, Yun Fuzhao and he became more and more familiar with each other. Occasionally, she would wait for him after court and invite him to go to Chang'an to play.

Because her handwriting had improved so quickly that day, Qi Huai said she didn't need to practice calligraphy. Besides, he had business to attend to and needed to leave the capital.

Yun Fuzhao was overjoyed and was just thinking about where to have some fun when Qiling came knocking on her door.

This guy came to see her, but he didn't have anything important to say.

"Fu Zhao, shall we go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion today?" he winked. "My uncle is away, that's perfect."

Yun Fuzhao knew this guy's character well. He seemed frivolous on the surface, but he was actually all bark and no bite and dared not do anything outrageous.

According to him, the Qi family has very strict rules, and a man can only have one wife in his lifetime. They don't even have a shared room.

Yun Fuzhao only found out later that it was no wonder Qi Huai remained chaste; it turned out that the entire Qi family was the same.

"Haven't you been punished enough yet?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ling's expression immediately fell. "Ugh, don't even mention it. I had to kneel in the ancestral hall all night when I got back that day."

Yun Fuzhao laughed at him, "Serves you right. This is called knowing there's a tiger in the mountain..."

“We won’t go to Mingzhi Mountain,” Qi Ling said with a smile. “We’ll go to Baihua Tower.”

Yun Fuzhao sensed something different this time, "You wouldn't be thinking of going to find Miss Xichun, would you?"

"how do you know?"

"Your face says it all."

Qi Ling shook his head, "This time is different. She's different from other women. She gives me a very special feeling..."

"I remember you said the same thing last time."

"...Ahem, I'm serious this time!" Qi Ling shouted, "I want to marry her!"

Now it was Yun Fuzhao's turn to be shocked. The Qi family was now the head of all aristocratic families, and it could be said that they could rebel if they wanted to.

How could such a powerful and influential family allow Qi Long to marry a courtesan?

He's truly fearless.

“I admire your spirit,” Yun Fuzhao said. “I wish you good luck.”

"Let's put this aside for now and go. If we don't go soon, my uncle will be back."

Yun Fuzhao couldn't dissuade him, and in the end, she accompanied him to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

She hadn't had a proper look around last time, but this time, with a rare opportunity, she waved her hand and said, "Bring all your good-looking young ladies and gentlemen up here so I can have a look at them."

Upon hearing this, the madam's eyes narrowed with laughter. "Alright, alright. I guarantee you'll be satisfied, sir."

Qi Ling directly paid a high price to buy out Xi Chun's time, and the two sat together, deeply in love.

This made Yun Fuzhao eat a whole bowl of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"By the way, couldn't you two have booked another private room?"

Qi Ling quickly explained, "I was just afraid of being misunderstood. Last time, I was alone in a room with Miss Xichun, and my uncle caught us. He thinks I've done something out of line. I can't explain it even if I say a hundred times."

"It's fortunate you're here; someone can vouch for my innocence."

"..."

If you've come to a brothel, what innocence do you have left?

Just like her, all she did was have a few drinks and listen to some music here, and she was already labeled as unfaithful and promiscuous.

Although they dared not speak to her face because of their social standing, they only dared to hide behind her, like bedbugs in a sewer, scurrying at her.

However, Yun Fuzhao didn't care, because the beauties she had ordered arrived quickly.

It must be said that Baihualou is truly something special. The girls and gentlemen here are far superior to those in other brothels.

What are you all good at?

Those beauties, one talked about musical instruments, another about calligraphy and painting...

When it was the turn of the handsome young man next to him, he stared straight at Yun Fuzhao and said, "This servant is good at making you happy, my lord."

That was a truly unexpected answer.

Yun Fuzhao asked curiously, "How do we coax him?"

He immediately picked up the silver cup beside him and slowly walked towards her. He took Yun Fuzhao's hand and let her hold it.

He knelt before Yun Fuzhao, two blushes spreading across his handsome face. He raised his head to look at Yun Fuzhao, "Please, my lord, offer me some wine."

These words left Qi Ling, who was standing next to him, completely stunned.

Yun Fuzhao was still a little unsure what he was up to, so she grabbed a cup, poured the wine in, and handed it to him. "Here you are."

"..."

The young man was clearly taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, setting the porcelain cup aside. "No need for this, sir, just feed me with the silver cup."

After saying that, he took Yun Fuzhao's wrist, leaned forward slightly, and brought the silver spout of the pot to his lips.

When the young master lifted Yun Fuzhao up, the wine in the silver cup poured out with a gurgling sound.

He was overwhelmed with the drinks, and clear liquor spilled from the corners of his mouth, sliding down his prominent Adam's apple and wetting his clothes.

The two newbies had never experienced anything like this before, and they were both stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The other beauties, however, were not surprised at all. Instead, they were amused by their dumbfounded expressions and let out bursts of soft laughter.

Yun Fuzhao stared at him in disbelief. Could it really be done like this? It was as if she had opened the door to a new world.

For some reason, she suddenly thought that it would be even more exciting if Qi Huai's face did this.

The thought had barely formed when she ruthlessly nipped it in the bud.

How could he possibly do such a thing? That would be too disrespectful to him.

The young man licked his lips and looked at her with a smile, "Are you happy, my lady?"

Just as Yun Fuzhao was about to nod, a commotion arose outside.

Then the door was kicked open violently.

She subconsciously looked up and saw Qi Huai staring at her expressionlessly, exuding a chilling aura. The atmosphere around him was frighteningly oppressive. He looked like a living Yama who had crawled out of hell.

For a moment, she even felt a little guilty.

Qi Ling, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that he jumped up and stammered, "Uncle... Uncle, what brings you here?"
