"Has the business in your store always been so deserted?" Bai Mingyue thought for a while and asked.

The girls thought Bai Mingyue would ask something, but they didn't expect it would be such a nonsensical question. They all couldn't react.

"Sir, why do you ask this?" a girl asked in confusion.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just answer my questions." Bai Mingyue's face looked a little more serious.

When the girls saw this, their original playful smiles faded a lot and their expressions became more serious.

"Our store wasn't like this before. Our Beauty Courtyard was the most popular brothel in the city before. But since the Chunhua Courtyard opened across the street, we have gradually lost business." said the girl sitting next to Bai Mingyue.

"How could this happen? Logically speaking, your store is an old store and there should be a lot of old customers. How could you lose to a newly opened store?" Bai Mingyue asked in surprise.

"Young master, you don't know. The owner behind Chunhuayuan has a lot of background. Ever since Chunhuayuan started operating, it has been secretly suppressing us. Our proprietress has no background and no power, so we can't fight against them." One of the girls lowered her voice and said mysteriously. .

When Bai Mingyue heard this, her eyes flashed. She didn't expect there was such an inside story.

However, these words reminded her that without the power to back her up, it would not be easy to gain a foothold in this city.

"Do you know who is the boss behind Chunhuayuan?" Bai Mingyue thought for a while and asked.

"Of course I know, he is the second prince of the current dynasty."

Second Prince? Long Yun?

Bai Mingyue didn't expect it to be Long Yun. But after thinking about it carefully, she understood. No wonder Long Yun always went to Chunhuayuan often, and even brought Zhang Rou'er, the former top star of Chunhuayuan, into his residence.

But having said that, if Chunhuayuan has Long Yun's backing, it will really not be easy for her to open another brothel.

what should I do!

"Master? Master, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Bai Mingyue in a daze, the girl sitting next to her shook her arm.

Bai Mingyue came back to her senses and looked at the girls surrounding her. After thinking about it, she said, "Okay, that's it for today. Tell your boss ladies that I will come to see her in a few days."

With that said, Bai Mingyue stood up and left.

When the girls saw her leaving like this, they all looked at each other, not knowing why.

However, Bai Mingyue had no intention of paying attention to them. When she walked out of the Beauty Courtyard, her thoughts were already far away.

Before, she only thought about starting a business, but she didn't realize that if she wanted her career to go smoothly, she would need a powerful background to rely on.

Although she is the eldest lady of the general's palace and her status is not low, she does not want to do business in her own name. Because she knows that once her parents find out, they will strongly oppose it. What's more, her opponent now She is the second prince of the current dynasty, and her status as the eldest lady of the general's palace is not worth mentioning at all.

Bai Mingyue was so lost in thought that no one noticed when she came towards him. She just bumped into him.

Bai Mingyue recovered from the pain, and when she raised her head, she found that the person in front of her was actually Long Mu.

Bai Mingyue was frightened when she saw Long Mu. But she soon calmed down. Thinking that she had specially dressed up today, he would not be able to recognize her.

If you think about it, Bai Mingyue said calmly and apologetically: "Sir, I'm really sorry. I didn't know I did it on purpose."

Long Mu looked at the person in front of him and narrowed his eyes with a smile. "Miss Bai doesn't recognize me anymore? What should I do? Miss Bai injured me again."

Bai Mingyue suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a shocked look on her face. She really didn't expect that he could still recognize her after she was disguised like this.

But after hearing his words, Bai Mingyue's face turned dark.

Did she hit him again? This guy really dared to say that. She was the only one who got hurt. After hitting him twice, she suffered a concussion.

"My lord, do you have sharp eyes? Why can you always recognize me at a glance?" Bai Mingyue looked frustrated.

Long Mu ignored her expression. He looked at the Beauty Courtyard where Bai Mingyue had just walked out, and then at Bai Mingyue who was wearing men's clothing in front of him. An unknown smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Bai seems to like going to brothels? Does she have some hobbies?"

Hearing this, Bai Mingyue looked at Long Mu, and slowly realized what he meant. She was ashamed and annoyed, and her face turned ugly. She stopped talking to Long Mu, glared at him, and left him.

"Miss Bai, you hurt me, do you want to run away again?" Long Mu turned around and looked at Bai Mingyue's back and said.

Bai Mingyue paused. However, before she could turn around, Long Mu had already walked to her side and said, "Miss Bai, the King of Japan is free today, so I will give you a chance to apologize."

Bai Mingyue frowned and looked up at him. "What do you want?"

"It's not what I want, but how do you plan to apologize sincerely, Miss Bai?" Long Mu raised his eyebrows and said.

"My lord, you don't want me to treat you to dinner again, do you? You are a great prince, so you shouldn't be short of that meal, right? Why are you making things difficult for me like this? Don't you know I'm very poor?" Bai Mingyue said.

He looked at Long Mu with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Long Mu didn't care when he saw her like this. There was still a shallow, unclear smile on his face.

"It's okay not to eat, but how can Miss Bai apologize?" Long Mu said nonchalantly.

Bai Mingyue pursed her lips. She was currently worrying about her business plan and really didn't have the time or energy to deal with Long Mu.

She was just trying to find a reason to send Long Mu away, but suddenly an idea flashed across her face, and she raised her head to look at Long Mu. But this time her gaze was so hot that Long Mu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her.

"What? Miss Bai, have you thought of a way to apologize?" Long Mu pretended to be calm and said.

Bai Mingyue looked at Long Mu for a while, and suddenly a big smile appeared on her face. "Yes! I thought of it. Your Majesty, it's still early, let's just have dinner. How about I treat you to tea?"

Facing Bai Mingyue's sudden enthusiasm, Long Mu's eyes flashed. He didn't know what she wanted to do.

but......

"Since Miss Bai sincerely made an appointment, how can I refuse, so let's go!" Long Mu said. However, he did not leave first, but waited for Bai Mingyue to lead the way.

Bai Mingyue didn't expect that he would agree, and there was a burst of joy on her face. Then she turned around and took Long Mu to a teahouse.

Although she didn't want to spend money, considering Long Mu's status, she still wanted to get a good private room.

Long Mu was very satisfied when he saw that Bai Mingyue had taken the private room without him asking. But he was still curious about what she was going to do. He didn't believe that Bai Mingyue would be so kind and suddenly invite him to tea.

Arriving at the private room, Bai Mingyue asked Long Mu to sit down. When the waiter brought tea and snacks, she made tea for Long Mu herself.

"I heard that the tea in this teahouse is good. Your Majesty, please try it."

Seeing her warm hospitality, Long Mu looked at her a little more. But he didn't think much about it, picked up the tea cup Bai Mingyue handed him and drank it all in one gulp.
