Female-to-male: I live on farming

Because the weather was hot, Qin Ke added some ice cubes to the milk tea of ​​the eldest princess and the head of the Gu family to make it taste cooler and more delicious.

However, Lu Youqing's was not so comfortable, but Qin Ke also put it in ice to cool it for a while, at least to keep it at room temperature.

That's why he was gone for so long.

"It's smooth and silky, with a fine texture, and just the right amount of sugar, not too sweet, and gives a refreshing sweetness. The sweetness and tea aroma blend together to form a unique flavor."

Compared with Jinyang's concise and to the point expression, Gu Lanxi was much more professional when tasting.

"Master Gu likes it. I'll have the servants deliver the instructions for making milk tea to your house later."

Gu Lanxi was not polite to Qin Ke and nodded slightly: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse."

They chatted a little more about the Crescent Moon Full Moon Banquet, and then the eldest princess and Gu Lanxi stood up and left.

Everything was peaceful and quiet over there, but some people in the capital were having a hard time.

Pei Yun, the second son of the Pei family, was a newly-appointed Jinshi last year. His Majesty personally issued an imperial decree to grant him marriage, allowing him to marry the eldest princess. He instantly became a hot figure in the capital.

Originally, Pei Yun was just the second son of a poor family in the capital. His father was only a seventh-rank official in the capital. Moreover, Pei Jing had an older brother, so there was an older brother who would inherit the throne. If he had not passed the imperial examination, no one would have known this person.

The princess was extremely talented and won the hearts of the people. Although she was now in a fiefdom, she was still a powerful princess of the Great Yan Dynasty. After Pei Yun married the princess, his status also rose. For a time, even the Pei Mansion was crowded with people, and he benefited a lot from it.

Pei Yun, who was originally in poverty and short of money, began to become wealthy. Countless noblemen made friends with him and took him to places he had never dared to enter before.

He can often be seen in restaurants and brothels.

Anyway, he didn't have to worry about the money at all, as there were plenty of people asking him for favors. Pei Yun, who originally thought that he had a bright future and was somewhat dissatisfied with Princess Shang, now had a slight reluctance in his heart that completely disappeared.

After all, to put it bluntly, Princess Shang is marrying into the husband's family. Unlike ordinary couples, the princess is the monarch and he is the subject. How could an ordinary man be willing to be dominated by a woman?

If he had not heard that the eldest princess was stunningly beautiful, even if he did not dare to show it on his face, he would have been full of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Brother Pei, are you busy tonight? I heard that there's a new lady in Zuifeng Tower. She's said to be stunningly beautiful and a master at playing the zither."

That day, another bastard from a noble family came to look for him, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe with intricate patterns embroidered on it, with gold and silver threads interwoven into it, gleaming with dazzling light. He also had a wide jade belt tied around his waist, inlaid with gemstones of various colors, sparkling brightly.

He was obviously dressed like a dandy boy.

At this moment, he was holding a folding fan in his hand, waving it from time to time, and encouraging Pei Jing with a smile on his face.

Pei Yun's heart was instantly moved, but he was a little hesitant. He had been feeling unwell recently, but because it was in that part of his body, he was too embarrassed to mention it to anyone, and even the doctor didn't dare to see him.

Seeing him hesitate, the visitor's eyes flashed with impatience, which disappeared in an instant. He hurriedly smiled and pulled his arm, urging him, "Why hesitate? You haven't been out for a long time. I tell you, ordinary people can't even see this lady. I spent a lot of money to get her to agree to see us. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to have it again..."

Pei Yun reluctantly followed him. To be honest, he hadn't been there for quite some time and was itching to go.

At the door of Zuifeng Tower, we met a few like-minded people, and we entered Zuifeng Tower together. The moon was high in the sky, the lights were dim in the building, and people were coming and going, making it very lively.

This place is undoubtedly the most famous place of entertainment in the capital, attracting numerous men of letters and refined scholars every day.

Pei Yun followed them to the private room on the second floor. The steward poured tea for them with a flattering look on his face, bowed and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, please wait a moment. Our Miss Mingyue is dressing up and will be here soon."

"Then please ask Miss Mingyue to hurry up. We have admired you for a long time and can't wait to see your beautiful face."

"Of course." The steward immediately nodded and clapped his hands.

A maid with a tray immediately came in from outside the door and served the food to the few people.

The maid walking at the end was holding a writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. Facing the curious gazes of the few people, the steward hurriedly explained: "Gentlemen, this is the couplet that our Miss Mingyue came up with today. It is still missing the second line. In case you are too bored while waiting, you can try it out."

Although he said this, how could the people who have been hanging around here for years not know the rules of this building? Those ladies with great reputations are so popular that people who want to see their beauty are like crucian carp crossing the river every day.

As Zuifenglou prides itself on being elegant, the girls would often give tests, and whoever's answer pleases her the most would be the night's lover.

"Couplet, let me take a look." Someone took the couplet from the maid and looked at it leisurely for a long time.

"Even if you stare at it till it becomes flowery, you still can't figure it out. Bring it here quickly." The people next to him laughed.

Being laughed at, the man was not annoyed. He put it on the table and said, "Why, I can't match it, but you can? We are both the same."

He is indeed a dandy boy who was not very active in school, but he is good at cockfighting and dog-catching.

"Ah, this is what annoys me about these young ladies. Why do they use so many fancy things? It would be better to put a clear price tag on them."

"Well, if you're uneducated, don't make such a fuss. If other people hear this, it will be another incident."

At this time, the young master who had brought Pei Yun here tried to persuade them. He lowered his head to glance at the couplet on the table and said with a smile, "I think the only one among us who can come up with this couplet is Brother Pei."

"That's right, Brother Pei is a Jinke Jinshi appointed by His Majesty, so shouldn't it be easy for him to write this couplet?"

"It seems that Brother Pei is the only one who will marry Miss Mingyue tonight."

……

Pei Yun was in a good mood after being complimented by everyone. He felt very happy. Look at these people. They come from more prominent families than him, and they are richer than him. They are still a group of ignorant people.

Amid the admiring gazes of the crowd, Pei Yun glanced at the couplet written by Miss Mingyue, and after a little thought, he picked up his pen and started writing.

"Good! That's right!"

"Absolutely! You are worthy of being Brother Pei! Hurry up and show it to Miss Mingyue. Is our Brother Pei's answer what Miss Mingyue wants?"

Hearing this, the maid waiting at the door immediately took her to a boudoir on the left side of the third floor.
