I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 20 Zuixianju

As we all know, nuclear radiation is very harmful, but after adapting to its use, its effects on the human body are also very significant.

At least that’s the case in the world of Joy of Life.

After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Li Chengzong's physical fitness, amount of true qi, and mental strength have been greatly improved, but he feels a little uncomfortable all over.

When I looked down, I found that a layer of blood scab had formed on my body without me noticing.

These blood scabs are not formed due to injuries, but rather like sweat discharged from the body, forming a thin shell on the epidermis.

Why can there be bleeding even if there is no injury?

Li Chengzong was too lazy to think about it. He just wanted to take a good bath and have a big meal.

I haven’t eaten for so long in seclusion. I’m so hungry.

Coming out of the secret room, bright sunlight shone down. After these days of seclusion, he suddenly broke through to the level of a grandmaster, which made him feel as if he were in another world.

"Master of the house."

Zhao Huai'en shouted and asked, "What are you doing?"

"It's because of the breakthrough. I'm going to take a shower first. Ask Sister Li and the others to prepare more food. I'm hungry."

Li Chengzong stood up and disappeared from Zhao Huai'en's sight almost in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the Grand Master?" Zhao Huai'en muttered to himself and hurried to the kitchen.

By the time Li Chengzong finished taking a shower and changing his clothes, the food was already on the table.

As soon as I arrived in the hall, I ran into Fan Wujiu.

The strong smell of alcohol made Li Chengzong frown.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Highness, the Spring Examination is over this year. Mr. Liu's student invited me to have a drink at Cuihonglou in Liujing River."

It's the spring examination again, and this is the third time Fan Wujiu has participated in it.

Since Li Chengzong presided over the Spring Examination in the first year of the Qingli period, last year's Spring Examination also underwent some changes compared to previous years.

Although the imperial examination still follows the unspoken rules of previous years, some poor students will be selected in the second and third places, which leaves a way out for them.

Fan Wujiu's talent and learning were acceptable in the palace, but he was just average in the entire Qing Kingdom. He could pass the imperial examination, but was not qualified to be on the list.

If Li Chengzong hadn't helped him pass the note, he would probably have failed the exam until his hair turned gray.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this guy actually went to a brothel without calling him.

How can we rest!
He hasn't even been there yet!
You have to know that in feudal society, places like brothels were legal and compliant. If one was talented and went to these places, it could even be said to be a romantic affair worth publicizing.

When he first traveled to this world, although he didn't know that this was the world of Joy of Life, he made up his mind to be like Liu Sanbian when he grew up and earn money by going to brothels without paying.

Li Chengzong didn't want to bother with Fan Wujiu who went to the brothel without calling him, so he turned to look at Zhao Huai'en: "Huai'en, which brothel in Liujing River is the largest and has the best quality?"

"what?!"

Zhao Huai'en was confused by Li Chengzong's question, "Master, are you going to the brothel?"

"I can not go?"

"Yes, yes. The largest brothel in Liujing River is Yunmengju. However, the most famous courtesan on the bank of Liujing River is Miss Si Lili from Zuixianju."

Si Lili?
Have you come to Kyoto yet? !

Speaking of which, among the female characters in the TV series Joy of Life, he particularly likes Si Lili.

Li Chengzong nodded and said with a smile: "Go and prepare the horses. After I finish my meal, we will go to Zuixianju to meet Miss Si Lili. By the way, ask the singles in the mansion if there are any who want to go with us. I will pay for all the consumption in the brothel today!"

Of the original 500 guards, quite a few did not get married, but in the end only thirteen remained.

So after Li Chengzong had finished his meal, a group of fourteen people rode on eye-catching BMWs and headed straight to the Liujing River.

The Liujing River is to the west of Kyoto. Before the river flows into Cangshan Mountain, its flow slows down and becomes a large lake that looks like a mirror.

Every night, many pleasure boats sail on the lake, decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Their reflections in the lake make it look as eye-catching as a crystal palace, with a bit of the meaning of "mist shrouding the cold water and the moon shrouded in gauze".

With the gentle breeze on the river, you can smell a faint fragrance before you reach the bank of Liujing River.

"What a nice smell." Fang Cheng, the more mellow among the guards, sniffed and said in surprise.

"Hmm, it's really fragrant, the scent of rouge." Smelling the refreshing and light rouge scent, Li Chengzong felt inexplicably excited for no reason.

And along with this excitement, there is also a faint sense of inexplicable restlessness.

“This is what I long for…”

After crossing two streets, the famous Liujing River finally came into Li Chengzong's sight.

Although the brothel is most lively at night, it is only afternoon now, but there are already quite a few people along the Liujing River.

It has to be said that no matter what era it is, the red-light district is always a bustling place with a lot of people.

The key point is that the consumption in this kind of place is damn high.

Take the consumption at Liujing River for example. Even the worst place is not affordable for ordinary people. You can hardly see copper coins here. It's either gold, silver, jewelry or silver notes.

People were coming and going along the way, there were talented scholars reciting poems and composing couplets, there were playboys vying for favors, there were wealthy businessmen laughing triumphantly... Of course, there were also many scantily clad girls waving silk and flirting in the attics by the river.

The brothels opened along the Liujing River are all formal brothels. There is a big difference between brothels and whorehouses. Only the high-end ones can be called brothels. Although the meaning is similar, it is much higher than the red-light district. It can be understood as a feast, a world of brothels, etc., which is a very luxurious place.

Most of the women in these brothels are prostitutes, women who are skilled in skills. These skills are not in bed, but refer to skills such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is precisely because of this that some people call the women in brothels "Misses".

You know, in ancient times, "Miss" referred to the daughter of a wealthy family.

These brothel girls are usually quite arrogant and will usually sleep with you only if they are attracted by your talent. If they sleep with you because they are attracted by your wealth, then that is not considered decent.

Li Chengzong and his group of fourteen people came to Zuixianju on horseback. The servant who was greeting guests outside the door suddenly brightened up his eyes and came up to them with a smile on his face. He took the reins while saying auspicious words.

People in their line of work, who are greeted and seen off by wealthy people, have naturally developed a pair of extraordinary eyes.

Just by looking at the way Li Chengzong was dressed, one could tell that he was either rich or noble. Plus, Li Chengzong was a prince, and he had a certain demeanor in his every move, so the servant could tell at a glance that he was not simple. The word "noble" should come before the word "rich".

"Please come in, sir. Please come in, gentlemen."

"Yeah." Zhao Huai'en was very satisfied with the servant's attitude. He took out a silver ingot and threw it to him.

When the servant found out that the reward he had received was actually ten taels of silver, his eyes lit up with joy and he became even more certain of his guess. He secretly made a gesture to the person next to him and enthusiastically welcomed Li Chengzong and others into Zuixianju.

Zuixianju is actually not that big among the many brothels along the Liujing River, but because the most popular courtesan Si Lili lives there, Zuixianju has become famous and has become the most upscale brothel along the Liujing River.

As the most upscale brothel, the interior decoration of Zuixianju can be described as magnificent. At this moment, there are already many guests drinking, listening to music, or flirting with others, having a great time.

Noticing that Li Chengzong frowned, Zhao Huai'en immediately shouted, "There's no private room here?"

"Yes, of course there is."

A fragrant breeze blew over, and a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes came over. She looked to be in her thirties. Her round breasts were wrapped in a thin gauze dress, and her slender waist was just right bound by a pearl necklace. Her breasts trembled as she twisted her waist, and she still had her charm, like a ripe peach.

"You all look unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting Zuixianju?"

The beautiful woman's surname was also Si, but it was obviously a fake surname. Her name was Ling, and she was the madam of Zuixianju. She looked very charming and gorgeous, but she did not make any moves right away. She just greeted him with a smile and was very polite.

"Indeed, this is our first time here. I heard that Zuixianju is now the number one brothel in Kyoto Prefecture, so we came to take a look." Li Chengzong nodded, a hint of admiration flashing through his mind. That's right, a high-end club should look like a high-end club. If it's the kind that just sells sex, what's the point of that?

"Sir, you are really good at talking. How can our Zuixianju be called the number one brothel?" Si Ling enthusiastically welcomed Li Chengzong and his party to the private room and said with a smile, "Since this is your first time here, would you like me to introduce you to a few girls so that you can listen to some music and drink some wine first?"

Li Chengzong looked at the guards: "What do you say?"

"We are all at the disposal of the patriarch."

"I heard that your Zuixianju can allow all the nobles of Kyoto to find soulmates here, so let someone take them there. However, I have one request. The servants must be fair-skinned people. Do you understand?"

Li Chengzong directly took out a thick stack of banknotes and slapped them on the table, then smiled at Si Ling and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose any money. As for me, call Miss Si Lili over. I'm here for her."

The smile on Si Ling's face froze immediately: "Sir, I'm so sorry. Miss Si Lili is the top courtesan of Zuixianju. She rarely receives guests. Even if she does, she must agree to it herself. I am not qualified to make the decision. How about I introduce other girls to you and promise not to disappoint you."

"What if I insist on letting her receive guests?"

Li Chengzong smiled at Si Ling, but it made her feel tremendous pressure.

"This... Sir, later on, Miss Si Lili will consider whether to receive today's distinguished guest based on his talent. Sir, you are a handsome man, why not show off your talent."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guard who was originally sitting in the private room stood up instantly. When he saw Li Chengzong shook his head, he sat down again.

"Okay, let me know when the time comes. I'll take a nap first."

Li Chengzong waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys can go down too. If you meet a girl you like, redeem her."
