After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

He stretched out his hand, used his palm as a knife, and chopped down on No. 5's neck.

No. 5 staggered and fell to his knees. He shook his head, trying to make himself more awake.

At this time, No. 23 grabbed No. 5's waistband with his backhand, lifted him over his head, and threw him out.

Number 5 lay on the ground motionless.

There was silence all around.

Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out.

"Number 23! Number 23! Number 23!" Everyone cheered for him.

At this time, the person in charge walked onto the stage and raised the hand of No. 23, indicating that he had won tonight.

"Fifty taels!" A chubby lady next to Anyang raised the sign in her hand.

"Sixty taels!" Instantly, someone next to him started raising the price.

"Eighty taels!"

"Ninety taels!"

For a while, the sounds of price increases one after another echoed around the venue.

"Five hundred taels!" Anyang raised the sign in his hand.

The crowd suddenly became quiet, and Anyang looked at the manager indifferently.

The steward looked around and said, "This master is offering 500 taels. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

He asked three times, but no one answered.

He pulled No. 23 next to him and sent him to Princess Anyang.

"Please have mercy, master." The steward bowed and walked away.

At this time, several dancers came up on the stage and started dancing.

There is only one competition here a day. After the competition, people who come in can continue to play inside.

There are many activities in the garden, and of course you can pay and designate a waiter to accompany you and play.

Princess Rui paid the bill for the 23rd with great reluctance.

She guessed that she would have to pay for everything today.

No. 23 brought the two of them to a private room.

Outside is the flower hall for drinking tea, with mats on the floor and a set of white jade tea cups placed on the mats.

Inside was an extra-large carved step-out bed, and opposite the bed, there were various utensils hanging.

These are for guests with special preferences.

Princess Rui went in and looked around, then made an excuse to go out.

Princess Anyang walked in and sat cross-legged on the main seat in the flower hall.

No. 23 knelt aside and scalded the teapot with boiling water first.

Then open the tea can on the table and use tools to pick out the tea leaves from it.

Put the tea leaves into the teapot and wash the tea with boiling water on the stove.

Then fill the teapot with water again and rinse the teapot with boiling water again.

Finally, slowly pour the tea in the teapot into the scalded white jade teacup.

No. 23 respectfully handed the teacup to Anyang with both hands.

Anyang took it, just smelled it, and then put it on the table.

"But I didn't make it well?" asked No. 23, in a clear voice, like the sound of jade hitting each other.

"Tell me...how did you beat the others?"

Princess Rui told Anyang that people here cannot reveal their identities and should say "I" instead of honorifics.

No. 23 picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Today, the number of spots called out was odd, so I initially hid aside and watched them compete."

Anyang thought about it and it seemed that he did not see No. 23 make a move.

"Today's No. 5 was very strong. I was always hiding behind him. When someone wanted to challenge me, No. 5 thought they were challenging him, but in the end, he beat them down."

"Then how did you defeat such a strong No. 5 just now?"

Just now, No. 23 threw No. 5 out in front of everyone.

"I can release my power for a moment, but I can only use it once a day."

Anyang reached out and touched his arm, which looked thin but was very muscular.

"I was originally optimistic about No. 5. His muscles are more attractive to me. I like strong men."

"But I don't like losers."

After saying that, the princess picked up the teacup on the table, smelled it, and then took a sip.

Well, the craftsmanship is pretty good.

"Sometimes, being too strong is not a good thing. Master, you have to believe that those who can enter here are able to satisfy the guests."

Anyang put down the teacup, "Oh? Are you sure?"

The waiter stood up and said, "If you are not satisfied, you can choose any tool on the other side of the bed."

The princess walked over to take a look with interest, then stretched out her hand, "Come here, hug me!"

The young waiter came over, raised his hands, and easily picked up Anyang.

Anyang touched his pectoralis major with one hand and his abdominal muscles with the other...

Princess Rui was wandering around the garden with nothing to do.

She had been here several times, but this was her first time walking in the garden.

Some people gathered together to play pot throwing, and some took their boys to flirt under the trees...

A maid came over and asked her if she needed any service.

Princess Rui didn't know when Anyang would come out, so she refused.

When she was tired of walking around, she sat on the veranda and watched the fish in the water.

The people nearby suddenly started arguing.

"We just agreed that we would swap, why are you changing your mind now?"

A shorter lady accused the taller lady opposite her.

"I didn't see clearly just now, his face looks like this!" The tall woman said in a sharp voice.

Princess Rui couldn't help but turn her head to look.

It was probably because too many people came today, and no one in charge or maid came out in time to stop them.

As the two were talking, they started to argue.

"No, I want to change it back!"

"That won't work. We just agreed that we should keep our word. How can you go back on your word?"

"I'm not a man, why should I keep my word? No, I paid for this prostitute, and he has to follow me."

Both of them pulled a waiter at the same time, and one of them pushed him to one side.

The despised young waiter stood alone by the side with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Just as the two were arguing, the manager heard the news and hurried over.

After hearing the reason, he decided that whoever paid for the item should return it to its original owner.

As for the other guest, you can choose a new waiter.

When the guest heard this, he happily followed the maid downstairs.

The other guest couldn't wait to pull the waiter into the private room.

After the steward finished dealing with the matter, he turned around and looked at the waiter who had his head lowered.

"This is the seventh time. If you are rejected by a guest again, we can't keep you here."

The young waiter lowered his head, and from Princess Rui's perspective, she could see tears in the corners of his eyes.

Somehow, she felt compassion.

"The one in charge! I'll take care of him!"

The steward came over with a smile on his face, "Yes, Master!"

He turned back and said, "Hurry up and thank your master, No. 8!"

All the waiters here have only a number in their names.

The young waiter then raised his head and looked at Princess Rui.

Princess Rui covered her mouth with a handkerchief and almost screamed.
