After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

"Come in." Seeing that no one else spoke, Tang Yuhuai had to answer himself.

Xingyue's dress was much more decent than the women they saw below. It wasn't so thin, and her shoulders were clearly visible.

Her appearance was also excellent, with a bit of the demeanor of a lady from a scholarly family. She walked quite properly, holding a pipa, and a servant brought a stool and placed it in the middle.

Xingyue was not surprised to see Tang Yuhuai, but her eyes flickered slightly when she saw the other three people, especially Chu Xi's face, which was so beautiful that everyone, regardless of gender, would pale in comparison to her.

Chu Xi originally came here just out of curiosity, but after what happened in the arena just now, his interest has almost faded, and the only thing left is to complete the task.

Xingyue sat down holding the pipa and asked them in a beautiful voice what they wanted to listen to.

Chu Xi looked at Tang Yuhuai.

Zhou Yichen and Rong Qingzhu had never been here before, and they didn't quite understand what songs were there, so they could only look at Tang Yuhuai one after another.

Tang Yuhuai knew that it was probably their first time here, so he ordered a song that he usually listened to.

Xingyue was an elegant prostitute who only played music for guests. Especially after Tang Yuhuai came several times, her value increased several times, and many dignitaries came to order her.

Just to see what the person that General Tang likes looks like.

Tang Yuhuai had no idea about Ningxiang Tower's operation. Every time he came, he would just listen to the music and leave after staying for an incense stick of time.

"I asked someone to bring up three pots of Lihuabai, so we can drink and listen to the music."

As soon as he said that, someone knocked on the door and said that the wine had arrived.

Tang Yuhuai excitedly asked someone to open the door. He was interested in wine and would have a few drinks when he was not on duty. He could not drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk, but it was still acceptable.

He asked someone to pour wine for the others. Zhou Yichen did not refuse. Rong Qingzhu... waved his hand. This place was drunk, which was definitely not a good thing.

He once had a distant cousin who got drunk in a brothel, and when he woke up he found himself sleeping with a prostitute. The woman later became pregnant, which was completely contrary to what he had been taught.

His father had never taken a concubine, and he didn't want to do anything against the rules.

"I've drunk it before, no need to pour it for me." Rong Qingzhu covered the cup with his hand, his voice as gentle as the breeze.

Before Chu Xi could say anything, Tang Yuhuai on the opposite side said confidently, "Qibai, Qingzhu drank before, but you didn't drink a drop of wine in Wangyue Tower. You must have had a couple of drinks here, right?"

Chu Xi raised an eyebrow, "Why do you have to drink it?"

She has a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to always be smiling. Just by slightly raising her eyebrows, it seems as if she is smiling silently.

“Don’t waste good wine.”

Zhou Yichen refused even faster than Chu Xi, "Qi Bai is not good at drinking."

Chu Xi was surprised by Zhou Yichen's words, but she did not refute him. Her alcohol tolerance was indeed not very good.

Tang Yuhuai said "oh" and stopped urging him to drink. He even raised his eyebrows in a smug manner, "So Qibai can't drink! Finally there's something you can't drink."

The topics they chatted about were natural and relaxed. They didn't talk about state affairs or the fight for the throne. They almost forgot there was a woman playing the pipa among them.

Chu Xi didn't have the cells to appreciate this. Although the original owner had also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but among these four things, she was the worst at playing the piano. She was a little...unsure about the rhythm.

Rong Qingzhu moved from time to time, as if something on the cushion was burning him and he couldn't sit still.

Chu Xi was not good at tasting, and Rong Qingzhu felt uncomfortable here, so the two of them naturally turned aside to chat together.

"Qibai, you saved me twice before. I would like to invite you to my house for dinner someday to repay you for saving my life." Rong Qingzhu has always been thinking about the life-saving grace.

It seemed that if he couldn't express his feelings, he would not be able to sleep all night.

"Okay, you set the date." Chu Xi felt that Rong Qingzhu's personality was really interesting. She personally didn't care and agreed immediately.

They only listened to this music for a cup of tea, and Rong Qingzhu couldn't stay any longer. He wanted to leave. After all, Chu Xi was not a real man, and he was tone-deaf, so he couldn't appreciate it.

She also planned to retreat with Rong Qingzhu. After they both spoke, Zhou Yichen naturally no longer wanted to stay.

Tang Yuhuai was dumbfounded. "What do you mean? It's only been a short while and you're all planning to leave?"

"You have an old mother and father at home who are watching you closely. If you come home too late you will be punished. You can have fun by yourself." Chu Xi always says some nonsense from time to time.

Tang Yuhuai was amused, "Okay, you're already in such a miserable state, can I still keep you here and force you to be beaten with a stick?"

Seeing that the three of them had stood up, he didn't intend to continue listening, so he waved his hand to signal Xingyue to leave, "Then let's go together."

Among the three, Tang Yuhuai drank the most and was slightly tipsy, followed by Zhou Yichen, who had a good alcohol tolerance. Rong Qingzhu drank the least, but his alcohol tolerance was not good either. He was already feeling dizzy when he was listening to the music.

Chu Xi, the only one who didn't drink, was pestered by Rong Qingzhu. Most of Rong Qingzhu's weight was leaning on Chu Xi. You could tell that his red ears were burning even without touching them.

"You have to drink even though you can't. I hope you won't be scolded by the Prime Minister when you go back." Chu Xi expressed his sincere emotion.

Zhou Yichen saw Qi Bai supporting Rong Qingzhu, thought for a moment, then turned his head and instructed Zheng Hao, "Send Master Rong back."

"Then Your Highness..." Zheng Hao hesitated.

"I have white here."

Zheng Hao did not dare to disobey Zhou Yichen's order and quickly took Rong Qingzhu from Chu Xi.

Tang Yuhuai pointed at Rong Qingzhu who was being helped out by Zheng Hao, shaking his head, muttering something.

When the three of them left Ningxiang Tower, it was almost time for curfew. Curfew would be in another half an hour. Tang Yuhuai insisted on sending Zhou Yichen back home with Chu Xi.

"It sounds good to come here from all directions, but Western Chu has always been eyeing us covetously. Southern Xinjiang had troops stationed at the border last year, and the Japanese delegation even came into the capital yesterday and openly clashed with many people in the capital."

"There are several princes coming to the capital this time. I'm afraid that the capital will be in unrest again." Tang Yuhuai looked careless, but he actually knew everything better than anyone else.

The envoys from various countries have come with ill intentions.

"What is coming will come sooner or later, and you can't prevent it." Zhou Yichen already knew that they were up to no good.

Zhou Jialiang had intended to join forces with him before. When he went to Yunzhou, Zhou Jialiang even came to see him off. But now there is no further news.

He knew that...the several vassal kings and hostages who had come to Beijing were also getting restless.

Chu Xi was listening to their conversation, then looked up at the moon. Unexpectedly, he heard a noise, his ears moved slightly, and he quietly approached Zhou Yichen.

Tang Yuhuai was a beat slow to react. He was still drunk and immersed in the thought that the country was on the verge of collapse and that His Majesty was incompetent.

Chu Xi instinctively moved quickly to Zhou Yichen's front, grabbed the two arrows, and quickly shot them back in the direction they were shot from.

The move was clean and quick, and with just the sound of it he shot the assassin lying in ambush on the roof on the left in the throat.
