NOVEL NEXT Chapter 308: Who is this? So fierce!_2
"These are fragrant, something you can't taste in the palace!"
Qin Ying also joined in, praising repeatedly.
"What did you say? The palace? Which place?"
Chen Xuan asked with a face full of curiosity.
"What palace, I said home, are you crazy?"
"Also, you still haven't told me where you're from?"
A flash of panic crossed Qin Ying's eyes, but she quickly changed the subject.
"Haha!"
Chen Xuan chuckled softly in his heart, he clearly saw what just happened.
But well...he didn't continue to press the issue.
"Me? I'm from Jiuding County, later accidentally met Qin Ke, and then came to Molan Mansion together. That entertainment house was set up by him and me, and when there's nothing else going on, I sit in the entertainment house!"
This identity had been arranged by Qin Ke long ago.
And there were no flaws at all, even if investigated, nothing would be found.
Now the two identities he most often used in Molan Mansion were Xuan Er and another, the white-robed Zhou Zheng of the Three Judicial Departments.
"By the way, enough about me, how about you?"
Faced with Chen Xuan's inquiry, Qin Ying didn't answer directly but said, "You'll find out in the future!"
Then she didn't pay him any more attention.
"Haha!"
Chen Xuan chuckled softly in his heart, really talking more and more like a woman.
Let's see how long you can keep up the act!
...
Over more than half a month's time.
The entire city bore traces of the two of them.
Today, they came to a lake outside the city, named Taoling.
Flower boats were scattered across the lake.
"Why are these boats so beautiful?"
Qin Ying pointed at a flower boat closest to them, a bit puzzled.
"Flower boats, of course, they have to be beautiful, otherwise why call them flower boats?"
Chen Xuan's face showed a peculiar smile.
"What do you mean?"
Obviously, Chen Xuan's explanation didn't clear her confusion.
"Look over there!"
Chen Xuan pointed to the distance at the dock, bustling with people.
One after another, men with bright smiles walked aboard the flower boats.
Once on board, the boats started moving.
"Who are they?"
"Guests!"
"Oh...right, just like when you go to the entertainment house, you're a guest there! They are guests of the flower boats!"
"So it's that kind of place!"
Qin Ying suddenly understood, but a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes.
"Come on, today I'm treating you, let's have some fun on the flower boat!"
Saying this, without caring for Qin Ying's opinion, he grabbed her hand and headed towards the dock.
"You..."
Qin Ying instantly shook off his hand, her face reddening.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan asked with a serious look, "Hey, why is your face red?"
As he said this, he looked up at the sky, "It's already evening, the sun isn't that strong!"
"I'll walk by myself!"
Qin Ying frowned slightly, her face returning to normal, and walked towards the dock on her own.
"Hehe!"
A sly smile flashed across Chen Xuan's face but quickly disappeared as he followed her to the dock.
"Gentlemen, what class of boat would you like?"
A servant in white greeted them with a smile.
"Come tell us, what are the differences?"
It was also Chen Xuan's first time here, so he asked out of curiosity.
"Sir, as I see it, this must be your first time at Taoling Lake. It's not just the beautiful waters here, but also full of Spiritual Qi!"
"Most importantly, our women."
"Look at the young masters of Molan Mansion, if they don't come a few times a month, I doubt they can sleep at night!"
The servant serenaded them with praises.
He wanted to continue but was directly interrupted by Chen Xuan, "Get to the point!"
"Yes, yes, sir, that was my mistake!"
The servant repeatedly apologized, still smiling, "There are four classes of atmosphere for the ladies: A, B, C, D, with A-class being the highest, and the flower boats are the best among them, though the price is highest too."
"The rest..."
"Alright, no need to continue, the most beautiful lady, money is not a problem!"
With that, Chen Xuan generously tossed him a money bag.
"Alright, gentlemen, please follow me!"
The servant led Chen Xuan and Qin Ying to the farthest and largest flower boat on the dock.
"Sirs, Miss Nuannuan is the most beautiful lady here, if you hadn't come early, you might not have had the chance. Please, gentlemen, board the boat!"
He bowed and extended a hand, inviting Chen Xuan and the other to board.
"Whether she's beautiful doesn't depend on what you say, it depends on us!"
"Of course!"
The servant's smile remained unchanged.
"Young Master Qin, please go first!"
Although Qin Ying was reluctant, she still took a step forward, reaching the deck of the flower boat.
"This is for you!"
After throwing a silver ingot to the servant, Chen Xuan flashed onto the deck as well.
"Set sail..."
The flower boat began to move slowly, heading towards the lake's center.
"Gentlemen, please go upstairs to the second floor!"
At this moment, a clear voice gently came over, and Chen Xuan looked up.
Beside the second-floor railing, a woman in a green elegant dress with a white gauze cloak was showing her fair neck, her features exquisite like a painting, but the most captivating were her eyes.
Warm and gentle like water.
At this moment, her eyes smiled slightly, she lowered her head a bit, watching Chen Xuan and Qin Ying.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Looking at the lady, Chen Xuan couldn't help but make a sound.
No wonder she was an A-class beauty, this money...was well spent.
Then he looked at Qin Ying, smiling, "A beauty's invitation, Young Master Qin...let's go!"
"Oh!"
Qin Ying seemed slightly dazed.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan just smiled, it seemed this member of the Imperial Family wasn't used to such places.
As for him...he was different.
He strode towards the second floor, letting a beauty wait is a sin.
Until Chen Xuan walked to the second floor, and even in front of Qin Ying, held the woman's hand and entered a room on the second floor, Qin Ying still stood there unmoving.
