"I really am unlucky today. This servant deserves to be beaten. We're not short of money. But now I am forced to sell myself to pay back the debt."
"Ai..." Mei Qingxue pretended to shake her head.
She really blamed Yue Ru for not bringing any money out. Her Royal Highness the Princess was detained in a brothel. It would be too embarrassing if people knew about it. If the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would be in a huge loss. Her image as a gentle, kind and cute girl would be ruined.
"Brother, don't be afraid. There is justice in the world. Is there no law?"
Looking at the two poor people speaking in a literary tone, Mama Fang almost tilted her eyes to the sky.
These two people were good. If the Third Prince was happy, he would surely give her a large reward. At the thought of the shiny silver, Mama Fang's face relaxed a bit.
"Mama Fang, can you give us some good tea? The Third Prince will pay the bill later." Du Gu Qing knew clearly what would happen later. What he had to do was to make the Third Prince look bad.
"Cough... Cough..." Du Gu Qing pretended to cough a few times.
"Give them!"
The Third Prince would come later and there would be a reward. A bit of tea was nothing.
A chill flashed in Du Gu Qing's eyes. Only Mei Qingxue saw it clearly. Yue Ru didn't know what the King's plan was. She could only stand obediently behind the King and the Princess. It would be no fun if she was caught by others later. She didn't want to stay.
She didn't know where the Third Prince was. Yue Ru didn't dare to look around now. How could the King not have any money on him when he went out? But she didn't know what medicine was sold in the King's gourd. Anyway, she just had to stand behind and act as a mute servant!
"Brother, why did you only bring a mute servant when you went out?"
Du Gu Qing deliberately said this. Mei Qingxue knew that he was blaming her for not bringing any guards. She was out for fun. Why would she bring any guards? It wasn't an exhibition or a show.
"Ai, don't mention it. The business of my family has been a bit bad recently. I've dismissed all my servants. This mute servant has been with me for the longest time. I can't bear to part with her, so I've kept her."
"So you're a poor man." Su Xue heard Mei Qingxue's words and sneered. He didn't have any money but still coaxed her, the number one courtesan, to play a tune for them?
"That's right. I've wronged my dear daughter." Mama Fang lovingly stroked Su Xue's delicate face.
"Mama Fang, give us some time. We'll ask our family to get the money!" Mei Qingxue deliberately begged for mercy.
Mama Fang tilted her eyes. "I don't even look down on your money."
With the Third Prince's reward, who would still care about that silver?
Mei Qingxue actually wanted to give Mama Fang a chance. If she gave her a step down, it would be easier for both of them later. Anyway, it wouldn't be her, Mei Qingxue, who would be uncomfortable later.
"This..."
Han Zhao was very helpless when he saw that the King and the Princess were actually playing with each other. Since the King married the Princess, he had changed a lot. He had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize him.
The originally serious man actually messed around with his lawless Princess. However, this time, it would be the most satisfying time to make the Third Prince look bad.
The Third Prince never avoided him when he mocked his King every time. Now he wanted to see how the Third Prince would show off his might here.
"Brother Liu, when you sit, your back is facing the door. What if you're seen by an acquaintance? It would be so embarrassing."
"Aiya, thank you, brother. I almost disgraced myself!" Du Gu Qing quickly changed his direction and sat down.
Mama Fang and Su Xue had a look of mockery on their faces. They came to the brothel without any money and still wanted to save face?
Disgrace himself? Mei Qingxue almost fell down. She really had never seen what being elegant was on Du Gu Qing!
Seeing that Du Gu Qing said it as a matter of course, Mei Qingxue half covered her face with her hand. "All elegance has been lost!"
"Humph!" Su Xue threw her handkerchief and sat in the distance. If it wasn't for seeing the Third Prince later, she wouldn't have wanted to look at these few useless people here.
Yue Ru lowered her head behind the Princess. Later, the Princess would target the Third Prince again, and also her King. You're here to pick up the Princess. Just pick her up and go home. Why do you still have to join the Princess in making trouble? Now, if she, Yue Ru, isn't killed by the old bustard, she will be scared to death.
"Mute servant, can't you stand? Then kneel down!" Mei Qingxue ordered.
Hehe, if she didn't make Yue Ru kneel down now, what if the Third Prince recognized her later? Mei Qingxue covered her face with her sleeve, hoping that the Third Prince wouldn't recognize her. Anyway, they had only met a few times.
Seeing the young scholar who was a rich master before but now looked poor, Mama Fang really wanted to dig out her own eyes. How did she recruit these two poor people? Fortunately, she wouldn't lose anything later.
"Brother Liu, how's your studies recently?"
It was originally the Sixth Prince, but when she said it, it became Brother Liu.
Now Du Gu Qing wanted to vent his anger for his Princess. He immediately knew what Mei Qingxue meant.
"I don't understand a few places in my studies recently. Let me think!" Du Gu Qing patted his head with his fan and immediately remembered. "What does Pointing at the Vermilion Lip actually mean? If a woman's lip color was purple, wouldn't it scare people to death?"
"Brother Liu misunderstood. Pointing at the Vermilion Lip was a kind of makeup for women in ancient times. However, I don't like it very much. I just think it's strange, so I've understood a bit." Mei Qingxue didn't know what Pointing at the Vermilion Lip was.
In her previous nine lives, she had lived in modern times. She had never studied history. Pointing at the Vermilion Lip was a kind of makeup in a TV drama she had watched. Whether there was any basis for it or not, she didn't know.
"Ai..." Brother Liu propped his chin up and pondered.
Mei Qingxue also looked at the teacup on the table and lowered her head without saying a word.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, Mama Fang said that there were a few good people. What do you think..."
The guard beside Du Gu Jue bent down and flattered. "Shall this subordinate pick them up personally for you, or?"
"This Prince will go personally. I'll also check the accounts by the way. The ledger must be checked every day. If I don't take good care of my own money, I'll always be uncomfortable."
"Yes, this subordinate will go and prepare the carriage now!"
When the Third Prince Du Gu Jue and the guard appeared, Yue Ru had already knelt on the ground for a long time. The two husband and wife who were pretending to be scholars were lying on the table pretending to sleep.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, you're here!" Mama Fang saw Du Gu Jue and immediately ran over with a fawning look on her face. "They're over there. Please look."
Du Gu Jue looked over, but they were just two backs. He couldn't see clearly. He chose a closer position and sat down. He pointed at the smaller one. "Him. Come here first and let this Prince take a look."
Du Gu Qing had already heard Du Gu Jue's voice. Now he was a scholar. If no one called him, he just had to pretend to sleep.
"You. The Third Prince is calling you. Are you still here enjoying yourself?" A guard kicked Mei Qingxue's stool. Mei Qingxue shivered and quickly stood up.
He had already made up to look like a handsome young scholar. This technique was still learned from An Ying. Although it was very clumsy, ordinary people definitely couldn't tell.
"Where?"
"Over there... Hurry up and go?"
The guard pushed Mei Qingxue from behind. Du Gu Qing looked at her and a frightening killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the Third Prince sitting upright on one side, Mei Qingxue, this fake scholar, walked forward timidly and bowed. "This commoner pays respects to Your Highness."
"Get up! Let this Prince take a look..." Du Gu Jue showed a lewd smile on his face.
Mama Fang saw that Mei Qingxue was unable to show off. She quickly urged. "Lift your face up."
Mei Qingxue lifted her face up aggrievedly. Her face, which had lost some color because of the shock, now looked charming.
"A wonderful person. I didn't expect that a man could look like this. Hahaha!" Du Gu Jue laughed wantonly.
Mei Qingxue quickly lowered her head. The expression on her face was extremely strange. Nima, which man looked as beautiful as this? Did the Third Prince's eyes grow out of his nose? He couldn't even tell the difference between men and women. She really wanted to show the Third Prince Du Gu Jue that she also had two atomic bombs!
"Yes, I'll take this one. What about the other one?" The Third Prince was extremely happy in his heart. His eyes looked at the other one.
Mei Qingxue almost couldn't hold back from shouting. Could he afford that one? Haha, even if Du Gu Qing dared to go with him, would he, the Third Prince, dare to accept him?
"Hurry up and turn around and let the Third Prince take a look. If you're liked, it's your good fortune." Others didn't urge Du Gu Qing, but it was Mei Qingxue, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, who spoke.
Du Gu Qing slowly stood up and slowly turned his face to the Third Prince Du Gu Jue, who was looking forward to his turning around.
"Third Brother Emperor, have you taken a fancy to your younger brother?"
As soon as Du Gu Qing turned around, the words he said made Mama Fang immediately lose her mind.
"Em... Emperor Brother..." Mama Fang staggered and fell to the ground. There was no trace of her arrogance on her face.
"How could it be you?" Du Gu Jue's face immediately looked bad. That thin scholar looked so familiar. It was actually...
"You two husband and wife really have good taste. I didn't expect that the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually has this kind of hobby."
Su Xue, who originally wanted to come over and flatter, saw that the person she had embarrassed just now was actually the Sixth Princess. The color on her face had already lost. Her hands also trembled.
Mei Qingxue smiled gently. "Your Highness the Third Prince, your taste is really good."
You like both men and women. She just didn't pay attention to his face just now. She was looking at the old bustard. Seeing that the old bustard couldn't even stand up now, she felt very happy in her heart.
"Husband, what did this Mama Fang want to do just now?" Mei Qingxue held onto Du Gu Qing's arm. Du Gu Qing, who had never seen Mei Qingxue take the initiative before, couldn't bear the kindness of the beauty. Immediately, his legs went soft.
"Princess, I'll vent your anger for you later."
"Don't... Your body is weak. You can't bear the shock. Isn't your Emperor Brother here? Are you still afraid that no one will protect his younger brother and younger sister-in-law?"
"Your Highness the Third Prince, you must make the decision for your younger brother and younger sister-in-law. We clearly just wanted to come out to relax, drink some tea and listen to a tune. Isn't it just that we didn't bring any money?"
Mei Qingxue took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the corners of her eyes. She said aggrievedly. "My King's body is weak. It's okay if I'm shocked, but the King, he has always been in poor health..."
Mei Qingxue lowered her eyes. Big wronged head, I love you to death!
