In a luxurious mansion in the city, when Liu Rushi, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Ma Xianglan, Bian Yujing, Kou Baimen, and Gu Hengbo were brought into the hall, they immediately rushed up in surprise.
Chen Yuanyuan also greeted her warmly. The eight girls were very excited to see each other again after a long absence.
After a long while, the eight girls calmed down a bit, and then Chen Yuanyuan led the seventh girls to the backyard.
"Yuanyuan, Mr. Rixiang said that he saw you in the team entering the city. We thought we were mistaken. Did you come to Nanjing with the imperial concubine?"
As soon as he sat down in the pavilion of the back house, Liu Rushi couldn't wait to ask. The other six girls also looked at Chen Yuanyuan curiously.
I want to know what is the relationship between her and the imperial concubine, and what is going on with this mansion. This was the property of the Duke of Wei in the past.
"Alas! It's a long story..." Chen Yuanyuan sighed, and then recounted what happened when she arrived in the capital, and only mentioned that Wu Sangui finally gave her to the imperial concubine.
"Yuanyuan, you have really suffered over the years. Fortunately, all the hardships have been rewarded. It seems that the imperial concubine is treating you very well, right?"
After everyone heard that Chen Yuanyuan was being sent back and forth, they all sympathized with her for her rough fate. The youngest ones, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, even had red eyes.
The eight girls love each other as sisters. When Chen Yuanyuan was forcibly bought and taken to the capital by Tian Guozhang, the seven girls were very worried when they learned about it and even inquired about her several times.
"Well, the imperial concubine is not strict with trivial matters, has a free and straightforward temperament, and attaches great importance to friendship. She is very good to everyone around her. I have never treated them as human beings."
Chen Yuanyuan nodded, with a smile on her lips. Now she didn't think about anything else, she just wanted to follow the imperial concubine.
"Let me just say, those rumors are definitely not credible. How could a strange woman like the Imperial Concubine be such a cruel and cruel person?"
Li Xiangjun patted his chest and said, and everyone else nodded.
Obviously, the reputation of the Red Lady has not been very good recently, and the literati have almost described her as a man-eating female devil.
Coupled with a series of operations these days, the literati and common people in Jiangnan have a posture of making love to the imperial concubine, which almost makes them cry at night.
However, some truly knowledgeable and talented people, including a large number of famous prostitutes in brothels, still do not believe that red ladies are what they are rumored to be.
In their imagination, the Red Lady should be the kind of magical woman who is not inferior to men, like Hua Mulan.
"Sister Xiangjun, how about you? How have you been these past few years? Have you found your right husband?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and looked at the sixth daughter again. She still knew about Liu Rushi's situation.
"Alas! Forget it, it's just as hard to describe!"
Except for Liu Rushi, the other six women sighed and shook their heads in silence.
Although many talents have been pursuing them over the years, there are only a few who can really catch their eye.
Those who liked him were worried, and they didn't want to use eight-carat sedans to carry them in. Those who were willing to use eight-carried sedans were either warriors or wealthy businessmen, and they looked down on them.
The selection has been going on until now. Even the youngest Li Xiangjun is already twenty. The key is that now she can't help herself.
These days, the six girls are worried about their future. They have all heard that there are many wealthy businessmen waiting to spend huge sums of money to buy those brothels.
Once those brothels are bought by those wealthy businessmen, their deeds of sale will definitely fall into their hands as well.
Given the virtues of those rich families, they would not follow any rules at that time. When they thought about this, all the girls regretted that they had not redeemed themselves earlier.
Now, all the deeds of sale must have fallen into the hands of the imperial concubine. They were asked to go to the imperial concubine to redeem them, but they didn't have the courage. They were really anxious.
Chen Yuanyuan also knew that the six women had high vision and even a sense of arrogance, but which of those talented men was willing to carry a famous prostitute into the house in an eight-carriage sedan?
In fact, the requirements for the Six Girls are not very high, and they have never thought about their status. The only requirement is to use an eight-carry sedan to carry them in through the side door, not the back door.
But this is such a small request. Those talented people are concerned about their reputation and cannot fulfill it. They just want to hide their beauty secretly in a golden house.
Only the old man Qian Qianyi was shameless and could not compete with other talented people by legitimate means, so he cheated and promised to carry Liu Rushi in through the side door in all his glory.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Rushi gave up on all the young talents and chose Qian Qianyi, an old man who was over fifty years old.
"By the way, Sister Yuanyuan, can you help me tell the imperial concubine that we want to redeem the deed of betrayal?"
The girls looked at each other, and Li Xiangjun looked at Chen Yuanyuan expectantly.
"Look what this is?" Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly and took out six contracts from her arms.
"Sister Yuanyuan, this..."
The six girls were surprised and happy when they found out that it was actually their own contract. They all looked straight at Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan did not hide anything, and told her that the red lady had sold all the brothel painting studios to her.
"Great, now the sisters don't have to worry anymore."
"Hehe, Sister Yuanyuan will be our big boss from now on."
After hearing this, all the girls were shocked and cried with joy. It was not just the six of them who were worried right now.
"Yuanyuan, I'm really sorry for you. I didn't expect the imperial concubine to have such high regard and trust in you."
Liu Rushi sighed, knowing that it must be Chen Yuanyuan who begged for mercy, and her purpose in doing so was to consider the future of all the sisters.
He also understood that the imperial concubine probably trusted Yuanyuan very much.
"Yes, my queen is really kind to me. I don't know how to repay her. She also gave me this house. If my sisters don't find a home, they can move here so that we can have company."
." Chen Yuanyuan said also somewhat emotionally, tears streaming down her face as she spoke.
"What? Yuanyuan, aren't you my queen's slave?"
Everyone was shocked again.
"Of course I am your empress's slave, but for some reasons, it is inconvenient for me to stay in the palace in the future."
In order to silence everyone in the world, the matchmaker not only restored Chen Yuanyuan's freedom and gave her a house, but also wrote a formal document for the sale of the brothel.
The meaning is obvious. From now on, Chen Yuanyuan has nothing to do with her. No matter what Chen Yuanyuan does, it has nothing to do with her, and don't involve her.
Obviously, the red lady is also very taboo about opening a brothel. She is mainly worried about the little emperor's opinion.
The girls were not stupid either. They immediately understood what was going on and expressed their willingness to move here and help Chen Yuanyuan manage the brothels in the future.
"Yuanyuan, you have been with me for so long, you must have seen His Majesty's face, right?"
Just when the girls were in a good mood and discussing how to run the dozens of brothels in the future, Liu Rushi suddenly asked.
Everyone else also looked at Chen Yuanyuan with interest.
"Well, I've met a few times." Chen Yuanyuan nodded.
"Sister Yuanyuan, what does Your Majesty look like?"
Li Xiangjun came closer and asked in a low voice. The other five women also gathered around, and even Liu Rushi pricked up his ears.
Obviously there is almost no one who is not interested in today's world, especially His Majesty. He ascended the throne at a critical moment and within just six months, he defeated the slave builders and thieves one after another and saved the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Yuanyuan saw the girls looking straight at her, looked around again, and then said in a low voice: "Although your Majesty is still young, he is extraordinary in martial arts. He is many times stronger than those so-called romantic talents, and he is so powerful.
Everything he says and does reveals his masculinity, but he is also very kind..."
Chen Yuanyuan recalled Zhu Cixiang's appearance and temperament, and fell into intoxication as she spoke and couldn't stop.
When the girls saw her like this, they became even more curious and admired, and they all wished they could see with their own eyes how beautiful the emperor was today.
"Sister Yuanyuan's country is beautiful and fragrant. Didn't Your Majesty say anything when you saw her?" Li Xiangjun boldly said with a smile.
Originally, he just wanted to make fun of her, but who would have thought that Chen Yuanyuan would turn red and lower her head.
The girls immediately became energetic and immediately understood that there must be a story and hurriedly asked: "Sister Yuanyuan, tell us quickly, has His Majesty asked you to perform any talents?"
"Yes! We performed once and it was the imperial concubine who asked me to go." Chen Yuanyuan was so shaken by them that she could only nod her head.
"What? Is it really true? Sister Yuanyuan, tell me what the scene was like at that time. Did His Majesty praise you?"
Under the questioning of the girls, Chen Yuanyuan had to explain in detail what happened that day when she danced and played the pipa for Zhu Cixiang.
When they talked about falling down while dancing and being held in the emperor's arms and fed wine, all the girls' eyes turned red.
Seeing the reactions of the girls, Chen Yuanyuan felt a little proud, and it was obvious that she was deliberately showing off.
"Your Majesty is only fourteen after all. With Sister Yuanyuan's ability, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as drinking, right?"
"Yuanyuan, what happened next? You can't keep drinking?"
"Say it quickly?"
When the girls saw Chen Yuanyuan stopped, they all urged her anxiously, wishing they could push her down on the stone table and give her a beating.
"Later...then I pretended to be too drunk, and His Majesty picked me up and took me back to the bedroom to rest..."
"What? Sister Yuanyuan, you are so shameless. How could you deceive His Majesty? You really deserve a beating!"
Li Xiangjun couldn't hold back anymore and punched her. Dong Xiaowan also pinched her hard, and the other women also gave her a punch.
But when he was beaten and scolded, his face was full of jealousy and envy.
"Stop making trouble, Yuanyuan, keep talking!"
Even the oldest and most stable Liu Rushi couldn't help but urge.
When the girls heard this, they all stopped and looked straight at Chen Yuanyuan, their breathing became rapid.
"Alas! Your Majesty carried me into the bedroom and threw me on the bed..." Chen Yuanyuan sighed, and her mood suddenly became depressed.
"Oh? I didn't expect His Majesty to like this kind of sentiment."
"It's really annoying. Can't you finish it in one breath?"
All the girls glared at Li Xiangjun fiercely, and then shook Chen Yuanyuan.
"There's nothing behind it."
Chen Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed and didn't want to talk anymore.
But how could the girls let him go? Liu Rushi was so anxious that she couldn't help but move her hands.
Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to tell her about His Majesty's sudden temper and driving her out. She sighed after saying this, which had almost become a problem for her.
"No way?"
"Sister Yuanyuan, are you lying to us?"
"How is that possible? It's impossible. You must not want to tell the truth."
All the girls were greatly disappointed and obviously could not accept this ending, but they felt a little more balanced.
"Alas! Later I realized that His Majesty might have done it deliberately in the pavilion for the sake of the imperial concubine." Chen Yuanyuan also understood at this time.
"Oh? Do you think your Majesty and your empress have any hidden secrets?"
The girls suddenly became energetic again.
This time it was about the Empress and Your Majesty. Chen Yuanyuan allowed them to torture her but was unwilling to reveal her guess.
"Sister Yuanyuan, there are no outsiders here, we won't tell anyone, please tell me quickly, what is going on with Your Majesty and Your Majesty?"
In the end, the girls had no choice but to swear their guarantees, and then Chen Yuanyuan whispered her guess.
The girls heard that the Red Lady actually lived outside the palace. Not only did she not have to abide by the etiquette of the palace, she could do whatever she wanted.
Even in order to consider her feelings, His Majesty did not even force her to sleep with her, but allowed her to do so voluntarily. He did not hesitate to pamper her, and everyone was stunned.
