Drunk Bamboo

The lights are just coming on and the Peach Blossom Tower is as bright as day.

Several young men in brocade clothes walked leisurely to the outside of Taohua Tower. The sharp-eyed Aunt Taohua spotted the young man in red at the front.

He pulled out the handkerchief, turned his wrist, and the scent of perfumed powder emanated from the handkerchief.

Her heavily made-up eyes were full of smiles: "Oh! What wind blew Master Gu to our Taohua Tower today!"

The young man in red opened the folding fan in his hand, which turned out to be a blank fan. He smiled elegantly and said, "I have brought an honored guest with me. Mother Taohua must ask the best girl in the building to entertain us!"

"What kind of status does the distinguished guest that Mr. Gu mentioned have!" Mother Taohua said as she looked behind the young man in red and was stunned. "Oh my, I am seeing a god descending to earth. The young man is handsome and elegant. Is there any handsome man in Zhongdu City that I haven't seen?!"

Hua Qinfeng frowned and dodged without mercy: "...The smell is still as pungent as before."

Taohua's mother paused after swinging out the half-held handkerchief, which swayed in the wind for a few times before she took it back awkwardly.

"This young master's voice sounds familiar..."

Chaoyang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Manager Taohua, please don't be surprised, my young master is very happy."

When Taohua's mother saw Chaoyang, she immediately remembered him and said in surprise, "It turned out to be you!"

In a blink of an eye, his expression paused again.

Then, isn’t the handsome young man in front of me the ferocious and evil man?

No wonder the voice attitude was both gruff and familiar.

Young Master Gu in red raised his eyebrows and said intriguingly, "It seems that the prince is also a frequent visitor to Taohua Tower?"

Hua Qinfeng looked impatient: "I'm here to do some work."

Young Master Gu in red was not annoyed, but smiled gracefully: "Mom Taohua, you've been standing here for so long, and you don't even have a cup of tea?"

Taohua's mother immediately raised her eyebrows and greeted, "It's all my fault. I'm so happy to see you gentlemen. Come on! Let's go to the big room on the second floor!"

Hua Qinfeng had clearly come to Taohua Tower voluntarily, but at this moment he acted as if he was being coerced, with an unhappy look on his face.

Who would go to a brothel with such a look of disgust?

In the private room on the second floor, after a few people took their seats, someone served them wine and delicious food.

After a while, two women with slender waists walked in with smiles on their faces.

A girl in yellow clothes that resembles an apricot tree: "My Ginkgo tree..."

A girl in red clothes looks like fire: "My Red Plum..."

"Hello, gentlemen."

Ginkgo holds the pipa in her hands and sits quietly to the music.

The music starts and the dancers start dancing.

One of the young men stood up excitedly with his eyes shining: "Autumn wind, ginkgo, snow, red plum! The four most beautiful courtesans of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter in Taohua Tower, I can actually see two of them at the same time, this is the first time I have been treated like this!"

Young Master Gu in red waved his folding fan and glanced at Hua Qinfeng: "Ginkgo is good at playing the pipa, and her song of autumn wind expresses all the sadness; red plum is especially good at dancing, and her dance is stunning and charming. Today, I am blessed by King Feng, so I can feast my eyes!"

Hongmei's charming eyes moved and fell on Hua Qinfeng. She trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth raised as she recognized him.

She turned lightly, and her snow-white jade feet landed beside Hua Qinfeng.

"I heard that the Wind King was invincible on the battlefield and terrified the enemy. I didn't expect that he was more handsome than a scholar."

A young man who had drunk a few glasses of wine joked, "Who said it wasn't true? Under the beard is such a handsome face, who wouldn't be shocked to see it?"

Hua Qinfeng sat by the window, so he could breathe more smoothly with the wind coming in.

The red plum blossoms approached, and the rich fragrance made him frown.

"You've drunk too much and started talking nonsense." The red-clothed Master Gu thought Hua Qinfeng was angry because of the master's words, so he said to the servant, "Take your young master out to sober up."

The young master apologized to Hua Qinfeng repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I was drunk and talked nonsense..."

He hurriedly left the room.

Hongmei swayed her waist and raised Baiyu's arm: "Why does the prince only drink? Is it because we didn't serve him well?"

Before his hand even got close to Hua Qinfeng, he was shouted at angrily: "Go away! Don't disturb me while I'm drinking!"

"Your Highness's temper is still the same, keeping people at a distance. How can he be so unromantic?" He wanted to tease her, but unexpectedly he didn't even have the chance to get close to her.

Hongmei smiled and turned her gaze towards Chaoyang who was standing there: "How come this young master doesn't even drink wine?"

He lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at her, always keeping a certain distance, and said politely: "I am a servant, it is not proper for me to sit at the same table with the young master. Miss Hongmei should concentrate on dancing."

"It's quite strange that the two gentlemen are in Peach Blossom Tower but their hearts are somewhere else." With a quick spin, the red plum fell in front of Ginkgo's pipa.

Mr. Gu in red raised his head and drank a glass of wine, a casual smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door:

"Where is Ginkgo? Who dares to snatch people from me, Han Xin?"

"Master Han, Ginkgo is already in the VIP room. Would you mind letting Peony and Shaoyao serve you?"

“I just want Ginkgo!”

"Bam—"

The door was kicked hard.

The visitor said arrogantly: "I want to see..."

Han Xin was stunned when he saw Mr. Gu in red clothes in the room.

Looking at everyone at a glance, they showed a look of surprise when they saw Chaoyang, followed by the handsome man in front of Chaoyang.

“Wind…wind…”

Hua Qinfeng raised his cold eyes slightly: "What do you want to do after seeing it?"

Han Xin's arrogance immediately disappeared.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Young Master Gu in red broke the silence and said loudly, "What a coincidence! Young Master Han, why don't you join us for a drink and a dance?"

"Gu Suiyi, why are you here?" Han Xin asked with an unhappy tone.

How could Gu Suiyi, the eldest son of Yongxing Marquis Mansion, who always did nothing, lived a leisurely life and only lingered in the red-light district, hang out with King Feng and the noble sons of Zhongdu? !

"Of course I'm drinking and chatting with my friends. Han Xin, is your house arrest over?" Gu Suiyi raised his arms and laughed heartily.

"You..." Han Xin was angry. These young masters from noble families who had followed him had become fence-sitters because of His Majesty's house arrest and had lost contact with him one by one.

Now he is hanging out with Gu Suiyi, which shows that he doesn't even deserve to be there.

Just then, Hua Qinfeng stood up and walked straight to the door.

Someone asked, "Where are you going, my Lord?"

Hua Qinfeng said coldly: "Bad luck. Let's go."

Han Xin's face obviously turned cold, but he didn't dare to say a word to Hua Qinfeng.

Gu Suiyi was casual and waved his hand: "Go slowly, Your Majesty. We'll meet again next time."

After Hua Qinfeng left, Han Xin looked fierce and said, "You guys are a bunch of opportunists. I will make you regret it later!"

After that, he rolled his sleeves and left.

The originally lively atmosphere in the room became lifeless because of this incident.

At this time, Gu Suiyi stood up leisurely, waved his folding fan elegantly, and said in a clear voice: "It's good that they have all left. Let's continue to listen to the music and watch the dance, and don't worry about the troubles in the world."

Everyone present took a breath and said admiringly: "Brother Gu...you are really brave..."

Gu Suiyi smiled and said, "The King of Feng killed the enemy who invaded Rao Country. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What's there to be afraid of? Han Xin is just a paper tiger who is pretending to be powerful. I won't let him down."
