Two months later, Ren Baqian finally took the time to experience the flower streets and willow alleys in the imperial capital.
The flower street and willow alley in the imperial capital is much larger than that of Lancheng, which only has four courtyards, but in the land of flowers and willows in the imperial capital, many Izumo chambers of commerce have joined in, bringing a style completely different from the four courtyards. Attracted a lot of ancient officials and officials' children.
After all, most people like new things.
Moreover, the four courtyards were ordered by the empress to stop doing skin and flesh business a long time ago, and the girls inside can all say, "The servants sell their bodies and not their arts!"
Wrong, it's a show, not a body.
The Flower Street and Willow Lane in the imperial capital are full of artisans and personalities.
Ren Baqian had heard it from others several times, so he was inevitably a little moved, so he didn't do anything, just go and see.
The appointment was Tong Zhenye and several officials from the Ministry of Industry,
Although his relationship with the other ministers of the Six Departments is much better now, it is still the most convenient to come with Tong Zhenye when it comes to prostitution.
What's more, there can be someone who takes the blame at the critical moment.
The brothel street is called Zhangtai Street, which means zoumazhangtai, and it is located on the third ring road.
Ren Baqian led two guards to walk in it. It was a bit early at this time, and there were not many people on the street. The two sides of the road were different from other places. There were courtyards, and peach trees and willow trees were planted in the courtyards. Come out of the wall.
The windows of the pavilions in the yard are open, from time to time there are girls' charming laughter coming out of them, accompanied by silk and bamboo music.
"Your Highness, we're here." Shi Hu, the head of the guards beside him, said to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian looked up and saw the words "Fengming Garden" hanging above the courtyard gate.
"Been here?" Ren Baqian felt that Shi Hu seemed very familiar.
Shi Hu smiled straightforwardly.
Ren Baqian shook his head slightly, these guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes... none of them are good.
"Lead the way!" Ren Baqian snorted softly.
All three of them were dressed in casual clothes, and Ren Baqian was dressed in a brown silk robe. This kind of expensive clothing is not uncommon in Izumo. Most important family members and wealthy businessmen wear it.
But here, the only ancient people who wear this suit are officials or the children of officials, and they are the ones with family background.
"A few masters, please, do you know if there is a girl you like?" Immediately, a young man came up to meet him, smiling like a flower on his face.
"Let's take a look first." Ren Baqian didn't move. He made an appointment with Tong Zhenye, but the time hadn't come yet. He also wanted to see what the brothel in Izumo looked like.
After entering the lobby, the old bustard posted it with a smile. He was about 30 years old and full of charm. He could recognize at a glance who was the leader among the three.
Ren Baqian's eyes were not on her, but on the stage in the middle, where a play with an unknown name was being sung.
The opera singer didn't have much makeup on her face, and she could tell that she looked pretty good, with a well-proportioned figure and a clear and clean voice.
Ren Baqian took a few glances, found a place to sit down, and first asked someone to bring a jug of wine and dried fruits up, and sat and admired it.
After all, he hadn't seen much of this play.
The most common thing in the palace is the wild war dance and some dances of the Jing people. The most seen at the palace dinner is a few shirtless bosses competing with black tigers to dig out their hearts and tease their legs.
After watching for a while, when the time was up, Ren Baqian had someone take him to the reserved room.
Unexpectedly, the room is on the second floor, and there are windows inside and outside, and the stage can be seen by pushing the inside side.
…
"Fengming Court? Where is it?" The empress snorted softly after hearing the guard's report.
"That fellow Tong Zhenye, remembers eating but not beating."
Although the Empress always likes to push the blame on Tong Zhenye, this time it's really not the empress' problem.
In fact, it was Ren Baqian who told the Empress that Tong Zhenye asked him to go to Fengming Garden to discuss matters, after all he also knew that he could not hide his whereabouts.
Ren Baqian first sold his comrades who went whoring together, and threw the pot over to show that he was innocent, so that even if His Majesty got angry, he would not be angry at himself.
As a human being, the most important thing is to stay safe no matter what you do!
Anyway, the habit of the couple is to throw the pot to Tong Zhenye first.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go and have a look?" Qing Yuan bewitched at the side, now that she is approaching thirty, Qing Yuan is much more mature in appearance, but her temperament is similar to before, and she likes to join in the fun.
"What's there to see?" The empress waved her hand, she still trusted Ren Baqian.
Usually, Ren Baqian is not in the habit of going to that kind of place.
The main reason is that his kidneys are not good, he has a heart and a gall, but he doesn't have the strength!
Qing Yuan was a little regretful, and hadn't been out of the palace for some days.
After watching a movie, the empress heard someone report, "Your Majesty, the princess is gone."
The Empress frowned. The current palace is much larger than before, and there are a few guards in the palace in Lancheng. Now the guards here are even more insufficient, and they can't see Erhua even more.
Not for the first time in three months.
"Go to the night market to find it first, and at the same time notify the Secretary of Public Security to search in the city."
Not long after, news came that the princess was found near Zhangtai Street.
…
Erhua looked at the pedestrians on the street and the courtyards on both sides, with an expression of interest on her face.
Today, the father didn't come back, and the mother didn't care about herself, so she just ran out for a walk.
Originally, she wanted to go to the night market, but she was still thinking about the bustle of the night market, maybe she could see her subordinates. According to her father, more than half of her subordinates have come to the imperial capital.
In the end, I didn't expect to run to such a place that I had never been to before.
But it's not bad here, there are a lot of people, the yard next to it is also beautiful, and the young ladies upstairs are all so pretty, much better than the environment in the night market, so she can hang out here with peace of mind.
Such a little girl carved from ice and jade appeared on the street, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
But she didn't care. Instead, she looked around curiously, and finally saw the most beautiful courtyard with the most people, and walked in.
The sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside is very pleasant.
As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by someone.
"Little girl, this is not where you came from." The boy in front of the door laughed.
"Why? I want to go in and have a look!" Erhua raised her brows, there was no place to stop her in the capital.
"Hey, little girl, don't make it difficult for me. If I let you in, it will kill me!" Seeing her rushing in, the young man hurriedly begged.
You must know that there are a lot of officials in this imperial capital, this little girl is not an ordinary child at first glance, if her family finds out that she was let in, she will not be beaten to death
Erhua saw him begging, her heart softened, and she stomped her foot, "Forget it, I won't go in."
His eyes rolled as he spoke.
The boy seemed to be pardoned.
Erhua found an empty corner, with a smile on her face: "You won't let me in, I want to go in anyway, let's see what this place is."
As soon as he turned over, he jumped over the wall.
