As he spoke, he pretended to walk down the stage to call Tan Zi. However, before he could move two steps, he was stopped by a voice.
"Lady Boss, wait."
Hong Erniang stopped and turned around. It was the blue-clothed man who seemed to be a scholar from a rich family. Seeing that he had opened his folding fan, Jianhong Erniang said," Since Miss Baochai is not feeling well today, we will not disturb your rest. If you fall sick because of us, then it would be our fault."”
Hearing the blue-robed man's words, the people below also echoed,"That's right! Let Miss Baochai rest and recuperate. We'll come back tomorrow.”
"Yes, let Miss Baochai rest."
Hearing the words of the people below, Hong Erniang said happily," I, Hong Erniang, will pass on everyone's love for Baochai to Baochai. This time, I will thank you on behalf of Baochai."”
After comforting the guests in the front yard, Hong Erniang walked to Tan Zi's room in the backyard. Coincidentally, Tan Zi had already finished bathing. Looking at Tan Zihong, who was dressed in green, Second Mother smiled happily and said," Miss, you're really a natural beauty! No matter what kind of clothes you wore, you would be able to look different.”
Tan Zi couldn't help but shake her head when she saw the green muslin on her body. She still preferred a simple and elegant dress. That way, she would be far away from the snake demon.
"Young Lady, from now on, you are the Courtesan Belle of this Lin Dance Academy. The people of my Lin Dance Academy are at your disposal, and even I, Hong Erniang, am no exception.”Hong Erniang said with a smile. In her Lin Dance Academy, whoever could earn money was the boss. She had seen Tan Zi's performance today, and she hoped that she could stay in her Lin Dance Academy and be her money tree.
"Sister, aren't you joking? No matter what, I still need sister's nurturing!”Tan Zi said modestly. Then, she thought of something and asked," Sister, have you seen a book?"”
"Books." Hong Erniang was puzzled." What book?"”
"It's the book I have with me.”Tan Zi explained. Ever since she woke up, her clothes had been changed. The book " Myriad Spirits " that she brought back from the snake cave was gone. She thought that she must have taken it.
"Oh, so it's that book!" Hong Erniang remembered that she had found it when she was taking off her clothes for her after bathing. She said," That book is in my room now. I took it out when I gave you a bath and it has been with me ever since. I'll bring it to you later."”
"Thank you, sister." The jar smiled and thanked him, saying," That book may be worthless to others, but it's hard to buy for me!”
Hearing Tan Zi's words, Hong Erniang was puzzled. Could it be a priceless treasure? Then she would have to consider whether to give it to her.
Seeing Hong Erniang deep in thought, Tan Zi continued," That book was the only thing my mother gave me before she died. She said that it was a love token my father gave her back then and told me to keep it well.”
"Oh." Hong Erniang nodded in understanding. So it was her mother who gave it to her! He was also relieved to return the book to her. Since it was not a priceless treasure, it was useless for her to keep it. It was better to return it to her as a favor and let her earn more money for her.
Then, Hong Erniang and Tan Zi left after a few words. Before they left, they asked Er Ya to follow her to get the books. He took the book back and handed it to Tan Zi." Here, miss. Your book."”
"Um, thank you." Tan Zi took the book and thanked him casually.
"Young lady, you don't need to thank this servant. This servant is just a lowly servant and cannot be compared to young lady. It is this servant's fortune to be able to serve young lady.”Er Ya said.
She looked up at Er Ya and said," I'm also a prostitute here. How can I have any manners!" From now on, you can call me sister and I'll call you sister. There are only sisters here, no masters and servants.”
Hearing Tan Zi's words, Er Ya was very touched. Her eyes were filled with tears as she choked and said," Miss, you're so nice. This servant has never seen someone like you."”
"Then why are you still calling me miss?" Tan Zi was slightly annoyed.
"Big sister." Er Ya called out sweetly.
"Yes." Tan Zi nodded and said," Erya, I was seriously injured in the past and forgot about the past. I even forgot about the country. Can you tell me about it?”
"Sister, your head was injured before. Is it serious? Did you see a doctor?" Hearing Tan Zi say that her head was injured, Er Ya was very anxious.
"It's okay. It's all in the past. Tell me about the matters between the countries! Don't let anyone mention that I don't even know.”Tan Zi said.
"Yes." Er Ya nodded and said," It's now the third and fifth year of Gengxu. The four kingdoms are at their peak. Our country is Proud Heaven, and the emperor's surname is Ao. There are three other kingdoms around it: Linxu Kingdom, Xilin Kingdom, and Anyong Kingdom. Among the four kingdoms, Xilin Kingdom should be the strongest. The emperor of our country has four princes. The first prince, Ao Tian Song, is gentle and refined. The second prince, Ao Xing, is cold and ruthless. The third prince, Ao Tian Yun, is solemn and reserved. The fourth prince, Ao Chen, is calm and composed. He is a dragon among men.”
Hearing Er Ya say this, Tan Zi said," You know so much.”
"I heard all this from the guests of Lin Dance Academy. Sister, you also know that this brothel is well-informed.”Er Ya said.
"Yes." Tan Zi nodded. She knew this. It was often said on television.
"Then how far is this from the capital, oh no, from the Imperial City?”Tan Zi asked again.
"It's only a few miles from here.”Er Ya replied.
"So close!" Tan Zi could not help but sigh. So this was so close to the Imperial City!
"Sister, why are you going to the Imperial City?" Er Ya asked.
"It's nothing. I'm just curious.”Tan Zi said.
"Okay, then sister, rest early.”After saying that, Er Ya went out.
"Yes."
Seeing Er Ya close the door, Tan Zi picked up the book and began to study it. She knew that she had spiritual power in her body, but she didn't know the shortcut or how to use it. This was what people often said about overkill and underappreciated talent.
She stood up and walked to the bed. Now, she placed the book under the blanket and pressed it back on. She had to think about it slowly. She would definitely be able to figure it out. Then, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, before Tan Zi got up, she heard a loud noise outside. Tan Zi was in a bad mood after being woken up. She got up and walked outside to open the door. Seeing that Tan Zi had woken up, Er Ya, who was standing outside the door, carried her things into the room and said," Sister, it's better not to go out. It's very chaotic outside."”
"What's going on outside?" He asked as Er Ya entered the room.
"It's all because Ruyan envies Sister and is unwilling to accept it, so she's making a ruckus outside.”
"Ruyan? Who is Ruyan!" She didn't remember her sins!
"Ruyan was originally the Courtesan Belle of the Lin Dance Academy. Because of your arrival and that astonishing dance last night, she was completely outclassed. She was very unwilling, so she made a fuss outside to see her sister, saying that she wanted to compete to see who was the most beautiful and capable.”
Hearing Er Ya's explanation, Tan Zi frowned. Sigh, she had just arrived here and had such a strong enemy. It was really annoying.
"Sister, don't worry." Tan Zi frowned and Er Ya thought that she was worried, so she comforted her," Mom will help Sister settle her. Besides, she usually uses her appearance and the title of Courtesan Belle to offend people. It's time for her to be taught a lesson."”
"She's usually very arrogant." Tan Zi asked.
"I guess so! Sister, come."
She took the towel from Er Ya and wiped her face." How is she now?"”
"How is it?" Er Ya was very dissatisfied with Tan Zi's question." Sister, you can't be soft-hearted to that kind of person. If you're soft-hearted to her once, she won't be grateful to you in the future. Instead, she'll stab you in the back without you knowing."”
" Sigh..." Tan Zi sighed and no longer paid attention to Er Ya who had been nagging. After washing her face, she sat beside the bronze mirror and let Er Ya comb her hair.
After combing her hair, Er Ya tied Tan Zi's hair into a bun. She picked up a hairpin from the table and put it on Tan Zi's head. Then, Tan Zi stopped her again and said," That's it!”
Seeing Tan Zi like this, Er Ya said anxiously," Sister, you can't do this. The other girls will laugh at you."”
"Forget it. It's their business to laugh at others. It's fine as long as we don't laugh at ourselves.”Tan Zi said nonchalantly.
"Sister…"
"Erya." Tan Zi interrupted Er Ya's words and stood up to walk out." Let's go out!" I want to take a walk outside."
"Alright then." Er Ya followed Tan Zi out reluctantly.
Ruyan, who had walked out of the house, was no longer there. Perhaps she had been pulled away by Hong Erniang!
He wandered around the backyard and looked at the surrounding flowers and trees, thinking about how to escape. As he walked, he looked up and saw a pavilion not far away. When he walked closer, he saw the words "Leaf Moon Pavilion" vaguely written on it. Tan Zi thought to herself that she did not expect there to be such a quiet place in this brothel.
Seeing Tan Zi looking at Ye Yueting in a daze, Er Ya thought that she wanted to go in, so she said," Sister, if you want to go in, then go in!”
He turned to look at Er Ya and asked," Why would there be Ye Yueting in this brothel?"”
"Sister, this Leaf Moon Pavilion was built for a courtesan.”Er Ya explained," In the year 30 of Gengxu, there was a courtesan in the Lin Dance Academy. Her name was Ye Yue, and she was extremely beautiful. At that time, the Emperor had been loitering in brothels for him and did not care about political affairs. When the Empress Dowager found out, the Empress Dowager secretly sent people to kill Ye Yue. At that time, the emperor had cried bitterly and had people build this Ye Yue Pavilion. After the construction was completed, he committed suicide here. Before he died, he had repeatedly instructed his favorite prince, the current emperor, to come here every year to pay his respects to Ye Yue. This was also one of the reasons why Lin Dance Academy had so many guests.”
Hearing Er Ya's words, Tan Zi thought deeply. The emperor was really infatuated! He actually committed suicide for love. He secretly cheered for the emperor.
"Big sister." She called Tan Zi softly.
"Um." Tan Zi turned around and said," Let's go in and take a look.”
"Yes."
He walked into Ye Yueting and sat on a stool. He saw that there were some fruits on the plate and casually took a grape to eat. Before he could put it in his mouth, he heard a shout. "You are Baochai."
She looked up at the source of the voice and saw a woman with a red face and fierce eyes walking towards her. Alright then! She had overlooked the fact that she was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that it was a waste of God's gift. However, she should not look at her with such a vicious expression! It was as if she had stolen something very important from her.
