I Conquer the World For My Duke - C70
Bai Zheng said as she straightened his clothes and sat down in front of the copper mirror, allowing Zhuling to comb her hair.
Closing her eyes, she quietly felt the comb massaging her scalp, causing her to feel comfortable all over.
Although she had been busy the entire time after she transmigrated, she did not feel tired at all. In this new world, there were many things that she could experience that she did not have in her previous life.
Such as kinship, such as affection, such as …
Bai Zheng suddenly opened her eyes.
“That Luoniang seems to be a great beauty. It would be great if I could meet her again when I have the chance.”
He had never seen such a renowned courtesan in his entire life. No matter what, he had to get to know her and not let this trip go to waste.
Zhuling said as if she was facing a great enemy: “Miss, you absolutely cannot! Such a dirty and lowly woman, seeing her will only dirty the eyes of the Young Miss! ”
Bai Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, “This kind of renowned courtesan would usually sell their skills and not their bodies. They use their own skills to earn money and are even cleaner than those so-called young masters from famous sects.”
Zhuling said anxiously, “What do you mean by not selling yourself? Luoniang is always changing guests every three months!”
This time, it was Bai Zheng’s turn to be stunned.
Weren’t all the renowned courtesans in novels just selling their skills and not their bodies? Why is Luoniang doing this…
Not taking the usual route?
As if afraid that Bai Zheng wouldn’t believe it, Zhuling pondered and recalled.
“This Luoniang, she came from an unknown place, entered the Yicui Pavilion when she was seven, and after raising her to the age of thirteen, she began using a song called” Banquet at the North “to move the Yongding City, and after that she would show herself once every ten days, either singing, playing the zither, or dancing. Now, six years have passed, and she has been sitting steadily on the lotus throne in Smoky Willow Lane.
Because Luoniang’s fame was out in the open, and was not like an ordinary flower lady, the Yicui Pavilion’s mama did not force her to attend to her customers. However, this kind of beautiful appearance still attracted countless of young masters and princes to spend Luoniang’s entire night.
Luoniang didn’t think that Hua Niang would wail and reject her the first time she served him. On the contrary, she chose someone to be her guest from the group of young masters that begged her.
I don’t know if it’s because Luoniang is born with a new personality or if this kind of beauty burns money like us, no matter how rich her family is, she won’t be able to keep up with us for much longer. Every single guest here in Luoniang’s show hasn’t been here for more than three months. ”
At the same time Zhuling narrated the rumors related to Luoniang, she nimbly rolled up a simple bun in her hand, casually took out a yellow jade stone and shook it with each step, passing it back and forth in Bai Zheng’s hair.
Bai Zheng looked at the copper mirror and couldn’t help but frown. She took down the piece of topaz and shook it with each step, her gaze sweeping across the whole row of pearls as she spoke.
“Seems like Luoniang’s guests are all rich and powerful princes, and they were all replaced after tasting her beauty for just three months, but no one came to cause trouble for her, you do have some skills.”
“Miss is right. I heard that when the most beloved third young master of the Guo Family was chased away by her, his eyes were filled with tears and he was reluctant to part with her.
Before Zhuling could finish, Bai Zheng’s door was knocked.
Bai Fu’s voice came from outside the door.
“Miss, Miss, the imperial edict has arrived!”
Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows, so fast?
Picking up a golden box with an inverted lotus hairpin and putting it into her hair, Bai Zheng did not delay any further, stood up and walked out.
Just as he walked into the hall, he saw a white faced and beheaded Palace Maid standing in front of the hall with a yellow paper roll. Bai Yinan, who hadn’t even changed out of his court attire, respectfully served him tea.
When he saw Bai Zheng coming out, he walked forward and cleared his throat, saying, “Miss Bai has come out, Sir Assistant Minister, accept the decree!”
Bai Zheng followed Bai Yinan and the Madame Lin as they knelt on the ground, listening to the Palace Maid’s shrill voice reciting the imperial edict.
“The daughter of the Bai Mansion’s assistant minister, Bai Zheng, respectfully served the ladies for a long time. “I am very happy to hear this. We have decided to marry Marquis Yuan Feng Linyuan and have Si Zedong complete the marriage.”
“Pah!”
Bai Di took a sip, and immediately smashed the teacup in her hand onto the ground, and said loudly: “You want to burn me to death?!”
Caught off guard, Zisu’s entire body was splashed, the burning sensation on the back of her feet was not light, it was so painful that she gasped for breath, but she did not dare make a sound, as she looked at Bai Di with teary eyes.
“All of you want to see me make a fool of myself, don’t you? “Watching me lift a rock and smash my own foot, are you all taking pleasure in my misfortune?!”
The moment she thought about what happened yesterday, Bai Di became extremely angry, and directly threw all of her thoughts onto Zisu.
Zisu shook her head, and said anxiously: “This servant, this servant doesn’t have one! “How would I dare …”
Bai Di grabbed the shivering Zisu with both hands and pinched her flesh fiercely: “You don’t dare? Is there anything in this world that you lowly maidservants wouldn’t dare to do!? ”
Zisu cried out in pain, and begged for mercy: “Please spare me, Miss, please spare me!”
“Second Miss.” Bai Shou called out from the door.
Bai Di stopped and asked impatiently: “What’s the matter?”
“The young miss is back.”
“Elder sister is back?” Bai Di’s face quickly revealed a hint of pleasant surprise, “Didn’t you say that you won’t reach the Yongding City for another few days?”
Bai Shou’s voice was somewhat joyous as he said, “Miss, since you’re so homesick, you left a few days earlier. It should be time for you to reach the General Mansion’s gate.”
Bai Di hurriedly got up: “Big sister, come back, finally there’s someone who can avenge me! I’ll go out and greet her. ”
At this time, a plain and simple carriage had already stopped in front of the high gates of General Mansion. A young servant girl walked out of the carriage, arranged a stepping stool under the carriage, and stood orderly at the side.
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and a girl dressed in simple and elegant clothing carefully got off the carriage with the support of a servant. The curtain was suddenly opened, and a woman dressed in simple and elegant clothing, supported by the support of a servant, carefully got off the carriage.
In a short period of time, everyone who passed by the General Mansion entrance stopped in their tracks and looked at the girl’s figure in a daze.
“This is?” Young miss General Mansion, you’re back? ”
“I heard that the young miss has been out for a year and has only recently returned from school.”
“It’s been a year since we last met. The young miss is even more beautiful now.”
Exclamations of praise could be heard endlessly, but Bai Sheng acted as if she did not hear them, with a calm expression, she raised her head to look at the entrance of General Mansion, and walked in.
“Sister is finally back!” Bai Di rushed forward and smiled at Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng’s calm gaze merely swept past her, and she left as if nothing had happened.
Bai Di’s heart skipped a beat when she was swept by that ice-cold gaze, and she immediately felt a strong sense of unease. Seeing that Bai Sheng was already far away, she clenched her teeth and followed with a smile on her face.
