The prince is very cruel

"Yes!"

Shengqi nodded, and then disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

Soon, night falls.

The Lotus Pier in West Lake is bustling with people, and the lanterns are just beginning to light up. The beauties on the boats are flirting with the talented men on the shore, and the beautiful Hu Ji is doing her best to seduce every man who passes by. It is very lively.

This is a parallel universe where there is no history, but it is a real Han dynasty with surprisingly consistent culture.

Wind chimes swayed gently around an exquisite flower boat.

Many young men have already gathered here: "Could you please tell the lady that Qin Yao, the courtesan, is willing to invite her to go boating with me for eighty taels of silver!"

"I'll give you one hundred taels!"

"Everyone, please sit down. How could the courtesan Qin Yao be interested in you? I've even brought the betrothal gifts. If the courtesan Qin Yao comes with me, I'm willing to divorce my wife immediately and make her my principal wife!"

"I can too!"

Listening to the crazy pursuit of the men outside, the woman who was putting flowers on in front of the mirror had a calm expression, she didn't even blink, and even looked a little disgusted.

Suddenly, a maid came running over and shouted excitedly: "Sister Qin, Sister Qin, he's coming, he's coming!"

The woman paused, frowned, and asked, "Who's here?"

"Sister Qin Yao, Prince Guan!"

As soon as these words came out, the woman's beautiful eyes widened! Her originally dull and calm face quickly became filled with joy, like a peony in full bloom, her lips and teeth moving and her beauty alluring.

She stood up suddenly, her full chest trembling.

"Where is he?"

"..."

Under the bright moon, Guan Ning's back was tall and detached, like a banished immortal, with his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking indescribably detached and profound, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, there was suddenly a commotion around the flower boat.

"Qin Yao, the Oiran, is out!!"

Qin Yao rushed out quickly, ignoring everyone. When she saw the familiar figure from behind, a smile appeared on her red lips. She quickly adjusted the jade hairpin and makeup behind her head. She looked very charming in a purple dress, so beautiful that she looked stunning yet not vulgar. The cinnabar on her forehead showed her classical beauty.

"Guan Ning!"

Guan Ning turned around when he heard the voice and immediately grinned: "I was wondering what the smell was like. It turned out to be Sister Yao's body fragrance. Tsk tsk."

A year ago, the two met on the outskirts of the capital. Qin Yao was originally sold to a wealthy family as a concubine, but on the way to her marriage, she was ambushed by bandits.

No one in the team was spared and all were killed.

Qin Yao would rather die than be humiliated. When she was about to commit suicide, Guan Ning descended from the sky, slaughtered eighteen people and saved her.

The two of them formed a friendship, and because Qin Yao was three years older, the two of them called each other "sister and brother".

"Bah, you're such a smooth talker!" Qin Yao blushed and scolded, looking very charming.

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed wildly.

Qin Yao rolled her eyes again, her charm full of charm, and then took his arm and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of me?"

The intimacy between the two of them, as if they had walked out of a painting, quickly ignited the entire Lotus Pier, and the men went wild!

"I stopped by to see you." Guan Ning touched the tip of his nose. He could already feel the jealous eyes coming from all directions of Lotus Pier. Once, a wealthy businessman spent three thousand taels of gold to marry her, but in the end he couldn't even enter Qin Yao's door.

She held her arm around herself, which made her so hateful.

"Are you trying to see if there's any man hiding on my boat? Are you worried about me?" Qin Yao raised her red lips, her eyes slightly teasing.

"Do you think highly of these guys?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"Hmph, you know I look down on you, yet you only come to see me once in more than a month!" Qin Yao pinched the soft flesh on his waist viciously.

"hiss!"

"Be gentle, it hurts. The injury I got last time isn't fully healed yet!"

"It's time to hit!"

The two of them bickered and walked into the flower boat.

After the people disappeared, a heated discussion broke out on the floating bridges around Lotus Pier.

"Doesn't the courtesan Qin Yao receive guests and only sells piano music?" A man was shocked!

"Who is he?"

"Asshole, who is that guy? His hand seems to be inside Miss Qin Yao's skirt. I want to duel with him!!"

"Hmph, why are you pretending to be innocent? You've rejected me so many times, but you still let people ride you. In fact, it's just that the money has been paid. Let's go!" There are also people who can't eat grapes and say that the grapes are sour. They say all kinds of things.

Inside the flower boat, a faint fragrance was floating in the air, and the bead curtains were hanging down, filled with the fragrance of a woman's body. It was extremely quiet, as if it was isolated from the worldly atmosphere outside.

"You have bruises all over your face all day long. What's wrong?" Qin Yao took out the medicine bottle, frowned slightly, and looked distressed.

Guan Ning laughed and said, "I fell while practicing martial arts."

"Did you fall during martial arts training?" Qin Yao's beautiful eyes showed suspicion, and suddenly she asked with a hint of jealousy, "Could it be that some woman pinched you?"

"How is that possible!" Guan Ning glared and jokingly said, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Even if I need a woman, I will definitely look for Sister Yao first!"

Qin Yao heard this and turned over to sit directly on him, her eyes suddenly fixed on him: "Why didn't you touch me for so long?"

"Don't you understand my heart?"

The touch of the waist and hips, as well as the maddening body fragrance, instantly made Guan Ning's lower abdomen burn with anger.

"Ahem, well, well, Sister Yao, I said I can't do it for the time being, do you believe me?"

Qin Yao's pretty face darkened immediately: "Are you taking me for a three-year-old? Your heart is clearly beating faster now!"

Guan Ning was at a loss for words, because what he said was true.

He was poisoned and terminally ill, and would not live past the age of 25. In order to break this curse and death warrant, he tried many ways. A wandering Taoist told him that he must practice martial arts to strengthen his physique and force out the poison, and it was best not to get close to women.

This method is indeed effective. His body has recovered a lot, but he is still not fully recovered. It will take time.

"Can you give me a little more time?" Faced with Qin Yao's resentment and initiative, he had to give an answer.

"How long will it take?" Qin Yao asked with a frown, holding his face with her snow-white hands and looking into his eyes.

"It's hard to say." Guan Ning didn't dare to look at her white chest at all, for fear that he would break the rules.

"You little brat, you're using the same rhetoric again, humph!" Qin Yao snorted, "If you wait any longer, I'll be old."

Although she said it as a joke, it was the truth. In ancient times, twenty years old was considered old, not to mention that she was twenty-three. She would never forget the time when she was desperate and this man stood in front of her.

So from then on, everyone she looked at, no matter how powerful or wealthy they were, was just like that.

"hey-hey."

"Is there anything to eat?"

"I'm hungry. I'm going to leave for a while at 5 p.m. How about I talk to you later?" Guan Ning smiled slyly and changed the subject.

"You glutton! What man would come to a flower boat just to eat?" She was annoyed, but still prepared good wine and food for Guan Ning.

Faced with a table full of delicious food, Guan Ning was not polite at all. He and Qin Yao had known each other for a long time since they were little friends.

"By the way, there are a lot of new faces and some new boats coming to Lotus Pier tonight, so you'd better be careful." Qin Yao suddenly became serious. She was the only one who knew Guan Ning's background.

Guan Ning, who was eating heartily, narrowed his eyes when he heard this. So many unfamiliar faces?

Then he smiled nonchalantly: "Okay, don't worry, I won't close my eyes until I lift up Sister Yao's legs in this life!"

Hearing such obscene words, Qin Yao's cheeks flushed red, and she glared at him, "What are you talking about, you little brat!"

"Eating can't shut your mouth!"

"..."
