Spring arrives and the land smiles

Only after disappearing from everyone's sight did Qingyan release Luoqing, but Luoqing grabbed her hand in return.

"It's so heartless of Qingqing to use it and then throw it away."

"Ah, I didn't." Qingyan denied it subconsciously.

Luo Qing smiled gently: "I was just teasing you."

Then he pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "With such an obvious signal, I reckon Bai Lingxian will send someone to your room tonight. Be careful."

"Brother Luo Qing, aren't you going to stay by my side?" Qingyan blinked and looked at Luo Qing.

Luo Qing, who had just been calm and composed, blushed again.

Sigh, I couldn't hold it in for more than three seconds.

Qingyan chuckled inwardly and stepped out of Luo Qing's embrace: "I wonder how many will be sent tonight. Brother Luo Qing, you should stay with me."

The silk ribbons on the hem of his skirt brushed against Luo Qing's palm, sending a tingling sensation through him. He tried to grab them, but they slipped away.

As night fell, Bai Lingxian, as expected, used the pretext of paying his respects to the emperor to bring two male actors from Chunhuiyan. Chunhuiyan was the most notorious brothel in Huaxian County, and tonight Bai Lingxian had specially selected the top courtesan from Chunhuiyan to send over.

They are all absolutely stunning.

Qingyan rubbed her chin and deliberately stared at the two male performers with a lecherous look. The two men openly allowed Qingyan to look at them until Qingyan herself became embarrassed.

Sigh, I'm too thin-skinned; I can't win against that.

Qingyan inwardly scoffed, then looked away, leaning lazily against the headboard, and pointed to one of them, asking, "What's your name?"

"My humble name is Liuyun." The man in the sky-blue robe bowed slightly, his robes fluttering gracefully.

Qingyan: "And you?"

A man in a crimson brocade robe stepped forward and bowed: "My humble name is Xihua."

Qingyan said, "Why are you called Xihua? Shouldn't you be called Feixue?"

Flowing clouds and flying snow are a perfect pair.

"Thank you, Princess, for bestowing this name upon me." The man named Xihua smiled happily, showing no anger at Qingyan changing his name, and even accepting it without asking why.

Qingyan was at a loss for words.

"Never mind, you can still be called Xihua."

“Yes, Princess, you may call me whatever you wish.” Xihua slowly walked forward to approach Qingyan, her steps steady yet light, as if she were stepping to the beat of a drum. As she walked, she loosened her belt until her outer garment opened, revealing her strong upper body.

As expected of a male entertainer who knows how to flirt, he knows exactly where to reveal skin and how much to reveal.

Qingyan watched Xihua walk towards her step by step, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. She stared at Xihua's voluptuous figure with great interest, playing the role of a promiscuous princess.

Xihua stopped at Qingyan's bedside and did not make any further moves, seemingly waiting for Qingyan's approval.

The people Chunhui Yan taught are quite well-behaved.

Qingyan looked up at Xihua, gently stroked his sleeve with the back of her hand, and then beckoned to Liuyun, who was still standing in the distance.

Liu Yun immediately took off her clothes on the spot, leaving only an inner garment, and walked barefoot to Qing Yan, exuding even more charm.

Qingyan gritted her teeth and reached out to pull Liuyun onto the bed.

The two male performers interpreted this as approval of their next move.

The two men fell onto Qingyan's bed. It has to be said that the bed was really big. Qingyan giggled and rolled over to avoid their hands reaching out to grab her, but they tore off her outer garment.

Summer clothes are already thin, and with this pull, Qingyan was left with only her inner layer, with her modified bellyband peeking out from under the flimsy inner layer.

Qingyan was already beautiful, and this glimpse of her made the two men even more envious.

Xihua simply took off her top, and a sweet, cloying fragrance lingered on the bed. Qingyan frowned, knowing with her toes that this was something commonly used in brothels, essential for serving people.

Qingyan clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, which brought her back to her senses: Why hasn't Luo Qing arrived yet!

In the next room, Luo Qing and Lan Zhen were locked in a tense standoff.

"How could you let her take such a risk? How long will it take for her injuries to heal?" Lan Zhen questioned Luo Qing.

"It's my fault." Luo Qing couldn't refute this level of questioning.

"If you couldn't protect her, you should have sent someone to notify me. Your stubbornness only hurt you too," Lan Zhen continued to complain.

“I didn’t hold on to my own. Who said I couldn’t protect her? She was unconscious because she was exhausted, not injured.” When it came to dignity, Luo Qing was ready to argue.

"Even if you're exhausted, you still couldn't protect her." Lan Zhen pressed on relentlessly.

"You," Luo Qing slammed her hand on the table in anger, "you are utterly unreasonable."

Lan Zhen was so angry that she turned away and ignored him.

A short while later, Luo Qing suddenly cried out in alarm and rushed out, leaving Lan Zhen behind.

Lan Zhen followed her out, confused. Luo Qing quickly stopped him and brought him back into the room, instructing him, "No matter what happens next door, come back in after half an incense stick has burned."

Luo Qing looked serious, and Lan Zhen quickly nodded in agreement.

Luo Qing angrily pushed open Qing Yan's door and saw Liu Yun pulling at Qing Yan's inner sheet, as if trying to rip it off. Qing Yan deliberately resisted and pulled at him, but her ankle was held by Xi Hua and she couldn't move.

"Your Highness has found a new love and no longer cares for the old one." Luo Qing's voice was filled with jealousy.

The interruption caused all three people on the bed to stop.

Liu Yunxihua wisely retreated to the bedside, allowing Luo Qing to come over and take the most prominent position.

Upon seeing Luo Qing, Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As Luo Qing approached, Qing Yan grabbed his belt tightly and pulled him onto the bed, where the two of them rolled in.

As Luo Qing got closer, she noticed that Qing Yan's face was flushed and her body was hot. She immediately knew what was going on and secretly blamed herself for being late.

Qingyan clenched his fists again, his nails digging into his palms for a moment of clarity, but he still couldn't help pressing Luo Qing down and kissing and touching him all over.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Liu Yunxihua was still in the room. Luo Qing was putting on a full act and didn't dare to push Qingyan away, so she could only kick the two of them out first.

Having the opportunity to serve the princess, the two naturally didn't want to leave, especially since the princess herself hadn't given any instructions. So they stood by the bed watching Qingyan and Luoqing.

The aphrodisiacs used in these brothels weren't enough to make someone lose their rationality. Qingyan paused for a moment before saying, "You two go down first."

"Princess." The two spoke at the same time, indicating that they wanted to stay.

Qingyan gave them both an ambiguous smile: "Come again tomorrow."

Having received the promise, the two bowed gracefully and happily withdrew.

"Why did you take so long to get here?" Qingyan tried her best to pull away from Luo Qing, but the effects of the drug still made her hold onto Luo Qing's hand.

"Lan Zhen is here, I'm sorry." Luo Qing gently stroked Qing Yan's face, feeling very distressed. "Bear with it, I'll go get you the antidote."

Luo Qing rolled over and got out of bed.

"Wait, let me hug you for a bit." Qingyan pressed Luo Qing down again.

This medicine has a strong aftereffect; it was quite enjoyable at first, but now it's unbearable.

Qingyan held Luoqing in her arms, her fingernails constantly stinging her palms, trying to control herself and wait for this wave of emotions to be released.

"What are you doing?" Following Luo Qing's instructions, Lan Zhen waited for half an incense stick before pushing open the door and barging into Qing Yan's room, only to see Qing Yan with most of his body pressed against Luo Qing, kissing and groping him indiscriminately.

Lan Zhen immediately exploded.

He rushed over and separated the two, and when he touched Qingyan, he found that she was not in a good condition and was feverish.

"What happened? Who drugged her?" Lan Zhen's eyes were red.

"Don't make a sound." Luo Qing rolled out of bed and quickly closed the door.

After a while, Qingyan felt a little better, but the medication made her feel unwell whenever she was away from someone.

Qingyan clutched the bedsheet beside her, glanced at the two people by the bed, and forced a smile: "Are you two looking at me like that because you're planning to come at me together?"

This level of teasing was enough to make Luo Qing blush. He quickly said to Lan Zhen, "You watch over her, I'll go get the antidote."

"You can still joke around, so the medicine isn't too strong." Compared to being sharp-tongued, Lan Zhen was just as sharp. He reached out to help Qing Yan sit up, but she grabbed him and kissed him.

Qingyan kissed Lan Zhen fiercely to relieve the surge of energy within her, and only released him when she felt she couldn't breathe properly.

At this moment, Luo Qing came in with the antidote.

A pill was put into Qingyan's mouth, and Qingyan slowly calmed down.

About fifteen minutes later, the fever subsided, and the medication became completely ineffective.
