9 PM, 4 PM.
——
Wu Zetian was the Empress of the current dynasty. She wore a phoenix robe and had a dignified aura.
She had been on the throne for two years and had always been diligent in government affairs.
So far, no man had been able to become Wu Zetian's guest.
It was rare.
This was a king who was strict with himself.
Lai Junchen walked beside him with a respectful expression.
Wu Zetian was very curious about what could distract Lai Junchen.
This wasn't just a greeting, but also a subtle warning.
"Your Majesty, these two days…I have been missing a man.”
Lai Junchen gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.
This was because the Martial Emperor had seen her in this state for three days.
Only on the third day did Lai Junchen know what the Emperor Wu meant.
The Martial Emperor was different from outsiders. Lai Junchen felt that there was no need to hide it from her.
"Oh."
Emperor Wu smiled and nodded. He was surprised but also expected.
"Ordinary women start a family at the age of 20. You have accompanied me until the age of 30. It is indeed time for you to marry a good husband.”
"Your Majesty, this humble subject will still say the same thing. If you have yet to have a family, this humble subject will not have a family either.”
Lai Junchen said with a flushed face.
At this moment, she regretted saying this.
As soon as she thought about how Jiang Feng was still waiting for her in the Dream of the Red Chamber.
Lai Junchen had been tossing and turning these past few nights.
Even her dreams at night were filled with Jiang Feng.
When he was reading documents during the day, whenever he thought of Jiang Feng, he would start reading with a pen in his hand.
"As a dignified second-grade official, you are usually extremely cold in your conduct. I didn't expect to see a shy expression on your face. Tell me, what is the personality of the man you like?”
"Your Majesty, although the man that I like has a low status and doesn't have a lot of wealth, he is clean and loyal to me. I saved his life, and he showed mercy to me with a smile. I swear that I won't marry anyone but him in this life!”
Lai Junchen said firmly.
"I also like a man who is pure and loyal. Why don't you help me find one?”
Wu Zetian saw her warm expression and knew that Lai Junchen must have fallen in love.
She was envious as she looked at Xiang Junchen with her clear eyes and said half-jokingly.
"Oh right, I overheard the guards talking. They said that the Cloud Mist Pavilion is inviting all the women in the world to hold a grand Courtesan Belle Gathering and auction off the first night of a Courtesan Belle.”
What the hell!
Lai Junchen had been walking well, but when he heard the Martial Emperor's words, he stopped in his tracks and his pretty face revealed a look of disbelief.
She clenched her hands nervously.
"Your Majesty, may I know the name of this Courtesan Belle of the Misty Pavilion?”
"Jiang Feng, it's said that all the women in the martial world call him Yulang.”
Martial Emperor said with interest.
She didn't notice the change in Lai Junchen's expression.
"I wonder if you have time tonight to accompany me out of the palace to see this Courtesan Belle Grand Meeting?”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
If the person who invited her was not the Martial Emperor, Lai Junchen would have rejected her without hesitation.
However, since the Martial Emperor had specifically spoken, he would not retract his order.
Lai Junchen had wanted to take advantage of the fact that the imperial food had been used up to go to the Yunwu Pavilion and kidnap Jiang Feng.
But unexpectedly, after finishing the imperial meal, Wu Zetian ordered her to bathe and change her clothes. After disguising herself, she was ready to leave the palace.
……
On the long street.
A woman in a brocade robe with an outstanding temperament was walking leisurely.
On the street, many men looked over. When they saw that it was just an ordinary-looking woman, they turned their heads in disappointment.
Two people followed behind the woman. One of them was Lai Junchen.
As for the other one, she was an old woman. She looked old and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
However, this old woman was the number one expert in the palace. With her guarding the palace, the entire palace was impregnable.
Nearby, many sharp-eyed women also disguised themselves and blended into the crowd, protecting Wu Zetian in the middle.
Cloud Mist Pavilion.
The crowd surged.
Countless women were whispering to each other.
"Sister Huang Yue, I didn't expect to meet you today!”
"Haha, are you here to bid for the first night of the Courtesan Belle?”
"Not bad! This time, I have prepared ten thousand taels. I must take down the Courtesan Belle in one fell swoop!”
Beside him, a woman in black couldn't help but laugh.
"A mere ten thousand taels and you dare to dream of winning the Courtesan Belle?”
Huang Yue looked coldly at the woman in black beside her.
"Miss, I'm talking about ten thousand gold taels.”
Hearing this, the woman in black felt ashamed and disappeared into the crowd.
The women present were all chatting happily on the surface, but in reality, they were all testing each other's low prices.
There was only one Jiang Feng.
And all the women present.
Only one person could become Jiang Feng's guest.
The intensity of the competition could be heard just from the sound.
The intense conversation of women could be heard everywhere in the vast Red Water Lake.
Even wealthy merchants didn't have any confidence.
In a corner.
A beautiful woman looked at the depths of the pleasure boat with a determined gaze.
"Seven days ago, I tainted you with my heart. I wanted to resign from Lord Di's marriage and marry you, but I was mercilessly rejected by Royal Sister. I didn't expect you to throw yourself into the lake to prove your innocence.”
"Tonight, you will definitely become this king's man. Even if this king has to resign and give up his high and mighty position as regent, I will marry you and bring you home!”
……
At this moment.
In Jiang Feng's room.
Several notifications sounded in succession.
" Detected admirers that match your income: Wu Zetian!"
" Detected admirers that match your income: Lai Junchen!"
" Detected admirers that match your income: Wu Yue!"
" Host, please choose your method of suicide: "
"One, slit your wrists."
"Two, throw yourself into the lake."
"Three, hang yourself."
When the system notification popped up, Jiang Feng felt that a good show was about to begin.
"I choose the third method, hanging myself.”
He had tried throwing himself into the lake a few days ago.
The reason why Jiang Feng did not cut his wrist was because he did not want to see his blood flowing everywhere.
After choosing, the other options disappeared.
However, this time, the system did not give him any hints, as if it wanted him to explore it himself.
Through the door, Jiang Feng could hear that the auction had started.
At this moment, the door was violently pushed open.
Feng Lian walked in with a smile on his face.
"Young Master Jiang, we haven't seen each other for a few days.”
