While An Yiqing and Gong Le were drinking tea, a guard ca to report: "Your Highness the Third Prince, Prince Bolin has arrived."
Prince Bolin, the son of Marquis Bolin, was nad Xi Ziyen. An Yiqing often indulged in eating, drinking, and rrint with Xi Ziyen, indicating Xi Ziyen’s equally fun-loving nature.
Without even looking at the guard, An Yiqing said, "Let him co here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
As soon as Xi Ziyen arrived, he cupped his hands and bowed in greeting, "Your Highness the Third Prince."
An Yiqing gestured for Xi Ziyen to sit down before smilingly asking, "What brings you here today?"
Xi Ziyen glanced at Gong Le, who was sitting very close to An Yiqing, and laughed, "I haven’t seen the Third Prince out playing these days, so I ca to check."
An Yiqing nudged his chin towards Gong Le, "Isn’t it because this little ancestor ca to see ? I have to accompany her, leaving no ti to go out."
Xi Ziyen imdiately took the chance to ask, "May I know who this young lady is...?"
"She is the daughter of my mother’s sworn sister, nad Gong Le."
"Ah, so it’s Miss Gong, my apologies, my apologies." Xi Ziyen imdiately greeted Gong Le warmly.
However, Gong Le did not seem pleased as she looked towards An Yiqing, "Big Brother Qing, why is this person staring at since he saw ? I really don’t like it."
Upon hearing this, An Yiqing’s eyes instantly turned cold, and he swept a sharp, dangerous gaze towards Xi Ziyen.
Xi Ziyen quickly accompanied his words with a smile, "Miss Gong, you misunderstand. I’m staring at you because I’ve never seen you before and was curious seeing you so close to the Third Prince."
Gong Le said, "In any case, stop staring at like that. It makes uncomfortable!"
Xi Ziyen could only continue to laugh awkwardly. This girl was straightforward indeed, but also very cute.
An Yiqing poured a cup of tea for Xi Ziyen, who accepted it respectfully and nervously. As soon as he took a sip, he heard An Yiqing say indifferently, "If you don’t want to dig out your eyeballs, don’t look around recklessly."
"Cough, cough..." Xi Ziyen wasn’t choked by the tea, but by his own saliva, causing him to cough violently.
When he finally stopped coughing, Xi Ziyen quickly smiled apologetically, "What is the Third Prince saying? I was rely curious, with no other intent, no other intent."
An Yiqing said nothing.
Gong Le also ignored Xi Ziyen.
Xi Ziyen laughed awkwardly a couple more tis, not daring to look at Gong Le again. Nervously, he took another sip of tea, hesitated a mont, then spoke again, "Your Highness the Third Prince, a few days ago a new lady ca to Xiangyue Tower. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she also plays the qin exceptionally well, unmatched in Xiangyue Tower. I booked her for tonight to listen to her play. Would the Third Prince like to join?"
An Yiqing lowered his gaze, lost in thought.
Xiangyue Tower is a brothel, but not one affiliated with Slayer Tower. Ever since he learned from his Second Brother which brothels were under Slayer Tower’s control, he avoided going to those places.
He didn’t want his Second Brother knowing every ti he visited a brothel.
Nuan Huan Pavilion of Slayer Tower is the largest brothel in the Imperial City, and Xiangyue Tower is the second largest, not being part of Slayer Tower, so he used to frequent Xiangyue Tower often.
Of course, his visits to Xiangyue Tower were rely for drinking, watching beauties, and listening to music.
He particularly enjoyed listening to music.
Among the musical instrunts, he loved the qin the most. He himself played the qin very well, but if soone played better than he did, he would admire that person greatly and would frequently go to listen to them play.
