Chapter 6, Men and Women
The man looked at Yin Qingyue without responding, carefully observing her for a moment. Then, he moved his feet, and his figure flashed quickly, disappearing in no time.
"Luozhen Courtyard, you are in charge. If even one person goes missing inexplicably, you won't be able to keep your head. It is your duty to suppress this matter. I will go with you, but do not touch me!" After Yin Qingyue finished speaking, she walked forward, exuding a fierce aura.
Miss, your beauty is striking, but fortunately you are currently dressed in coarse cloth and have not eaten for several days, which has left your complexion somewhat sallow. If you were to apply some wall plaster and dirt, you could become even less attractive. I am only looking out for your well-being; it is the beautiful women in the Dusty Courtyard who suffer first.
The convoy rolled past, while the crowd remained captivated by the impact brought by the Prince of Jing. Some women who caught a glimpse of the prince's profile began to whisper among themselves, their eyes sparkling.
Yin Qingyue tightened the bundle in her hand, preparing to head to Li's pawnshop. At that moment, a petite woman dressed in a green dress suddenly rushed towards her
Yin Qingyue's eyelid twitched, and she immediately interrupted her, "Luocheng Courtyard? Sacrificial offerings?" Isn't that the place where over a hundred fifteen-year-old young girls are imprisoned! It is a place that kills without bloodshed, slowly tormenting women! The owner of this body is actually from Luocheng Courtyard!
Yin Qingyue tightened her grip on the bundle, realizing that this set of clothes must be disposed of quickly; if left in her possession, it would bring disaster. Indeed, one should not recklessly strip others of their clothes, nor should one indiscriminately take others' money
Yin Qingyue saw a middle-aged woman dressed in brownish-yellow clothing approaching with a group of people
Yin Qingyue smiled faintly, "Of course I know who Prince Jing is, the most handsome man, a generation's war god, brave and skilled in battle, a beauty that incites both gods and men, appealing to both men and women"
Meier gasped, is this her young lady? Although the young lady is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Yin family, she has often been bullied by the second young lady due to losing her mother at a young age, and the legitimate rights have fallen into the hands of the illegitimate line. She is delicate and weak, easily overwhelmed. Yet now, she seems like a different person! Even the arrogant Zhao Mama cannot do anything to her.
Thus, she began to quicken her pace in search of a pawn shop, as this outfit could certainly be sold for a high price, but she only needed a moderate price. If someone demanded a high price, it would lead to trouble
Thank you, miss. Although we did not see the true appearance of Prince Jing today, just the thought that he is in that carriage excites both of us brothers.
"Young lady, be careful of the trouble that can arise from your words. The Prince Jing is not someone you can casually slander." The man lowered his head to look at her, while Yin Qingyue met his gaze directly. He possessed a pair of deep gray eyes. Her body was very weak, preventing her from reading people's thoughts. Therefore, she did not know the relationship between the man before her and Prince Jing.
The guard approached Yin Qingyue and brushed aside Mei'er, who was blocking her path
A woman approached Yin Qingyue, grasping her garment tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Miss, I have finally found you. If you do not appear soon, I will be killed by Granny Zhao."
Walking along the street while searching, she did not ask anyone for information, but began to look based on her instincts
At present, she is holding a bundle, and if it is discovered by Zhao Mama that she possesses this set of men's clothing, she will undoubtedly encounter numerous troubles. However, if she were to abandon the bundle, she would be reluctant to do so, as it could still fetch some silver coins.
She does not belong to the modern era, thus she was brought by fate to the Kingdom of Xize and became a sacrifice for the - map - book
Yin Qingyue tightened her bundle. At this moment, a sound came from ahead, causing Mei'er to shudder. "Madam Zhao is coming, Miss, please let me apply it quickly!" Mei'er immediately stood on her tiptoes and deftly smeared the wall dust and dirt on Yin Qingyue's face
"Let us part here." Yin Qingyue chuckled lightly, then turned and left, leaving the two brothers standing stiffly in place
She could see that the two brothers were indeed very excited, their eyes already glistening with moisture! How can the King of Jing of Beihai have such great influence in Xize, and yet the Emperor of Xize remains so indifferent?
The streets of the capital are filled with taverns and tea houses. It was only after she walked past two streets and turned into another street that she found a Li Ji pawnshop
This is the street, not a place for idle gossip. Granny Zhao did not dare to speak too loudly, as it would be unwise to attract unnecessary trouble.
The two vendors widened their eyes even further, feeling as if their eyeballs were about to fall out. It was the first time they had heard someone describe Prince Jing in such a manner! His handsome appearance elicited both admiration and resentment, which they could somewhat accept. However, the notion that he was appealing to both men and women, how could such a thing be said so casually! The young lady secretly cursed Prince Jing for being a断袖 (a term referring to a man who is attracted to other men)!
Miss, this is unavoidable. This time you escaped, and Granny Zhao has suppressed the matter. If it reaches the Emperor's ears, the Yin family will face the grave crime of extermination! Miss, please hurry and return to the Dusty Courtyard with Mei'er!" As Mei'er spoke, she walked to the corner of the street, wiped some wall dust and dirt, and then approached Yin Qingyue.
Miss, hurry up and apply it! Mei'er spoke anxiously, raising her hand to strike her face.
"Miss, why do you have no expression at all? Do you not know about Prince Jing?" The two brothers said in unison, their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Upon seeing this, Yin Qingyue's eyelids twitched; the intensity of ancient gossip was no less than that of the modern era.
She had just walked a dozen meters forward when she was stopped by a tall figure, and a deep voice came from him, "Miss, where did you hear that the Prince Jing is open to both men and women?"
Miss, I understand the suffering in your heart, but since we have already entered the capital and arrived at the Falling Dust Courtyard, there is no turning back. Only by following Granny Zhao's words can you delay becoming a sacrifice
Yin Qingyue looked up and carefully examined the man before her. He was tall and slender, with strong arms, undoubtedly a martial artist. He extended his long arm to block her path with a book, and only his profile was facing her.
Yin Qingyue's body stiffened; she is the daughter of a prominent family in the capital of Xize
"I have turned against you! If it weren't for me suppressing this matter, would you still be alive now?" Zhao Momo said softly as she approached her.
"How dare you!" Yin Qingyue exclaimed, her eyes flashing with fierce light, intimidating the group of guards.
Madam Zhao hurriedly approached with a group of guards. Upon seeing Yin Qingyue, who was covered in dirt and dust, she let out a cold snort and ordered the guards to seize her
As Mei'er approached her, Yin Qingyue took a step back, needing to process Mei'er's words. She was a woman of the Falling Dust Courtyard, living a life of hardship, dressed simply and eating plain food, feeling grateful for the great kindness, and when necessary, becoming a sacrificial offering of blood
The delicate woman before me, her appearance unchanged, seemed as if she had become a different person. The guard stood frozen, not daring to speak
Upon seeing the character "Li," she suddenly thought of her father's friend, Li Qing. This person gave her a very mysterious impression, as she often heard him speak in enigmatic terms, making it difficult to understand what he meant by his esoteric knowledge
Only by being appealing to both men and women can one truly showcase the beauty of Prince Jing. However, you seem to have taken this lightly. Do you actually know Prince Jing?
