Chapter 164 (1/2)



164 Banshee (1)

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of wine and put down the glass. She looked at the beauties and said in a free and easy tone, “”That day, I accompanied Princess huaiqing to attend a banquet. I had a feeling, so I wrote this half of the seven characters.”

His tone was relaxed and forthright, as if this was just a trivial matter, but the courtesans were moved by his words.

It was him … Aya’s guess had been confirmed, and she felt as if everything had come to pass.

It had been a long time since Princess huaiqing had a poem. It was abnormal for her to suddenly have a good piece of work.

However, when he heard the news, he couldn’t connect it to Xu Qi ‘an. When she heard what he said just now, she thought of his identity as a night watchman, as well as his extraordinary poetic talent, so she boldly tested him. She didn’t expect that she would really guess correctly.

The Academy still didn’t know who the poem came from, but there were countless curious people outside. Just this news alone was a gimmick.

“Mr. Xu …” Fu Xiang’s affectionate gaze and charming eyes were more attractive than any sweet words to someone who loved poetry.

The other courtesans were not only amazed by Xu Qi ‘an’s talent in poetry, but also by something else that moved them, something that went beyond the poetry itself.

…. He was actually able to enter the Imperial City and attend the banquet of the princes and princesses.

This meant that Xu Qi ‘an was the confidant of a certain prince or princess, otherwise he would not have been taken to the banquet. In this way, his value was not only in poetry.

He was quite handsome, a night watchman, and had power … Of course, the courtesans were used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles. This little bit of power was nothing to the night watchman, but what if this night watchman had the talent of a scholar? what if this night watchman was valued by some prince or princess?

With all these halos added together, it was much more attractive than being a concubine of an old man.

‘I can’t let Fu Xiang get away with it, I have to snatch him over …’ Now, Fu Xiang is already the number one courtesan of the Imperial Academy. If she gets another poem, we sisters will never be able to stand out again …”

Thinking of this, the courtesans ‘smiles became more sincere. Each of them had something to say, but they were still hesitant. They looked at Xu Qi’ an with deep affection.

The atmosphere in the reception hall instantly heated up.

After the drinking game ended, under the influence of the alcohol, the courtesans boldly played finger-guessing games. Each of them rolled up their sleeves, revealing their fair and slender arms and delicate fists.

The main reason was that Xu Qi ‘an didn’t mind, which gave them the courage.

…..

The sky gradually darkened, and more and more guests came to the Imperial Academy. Then, he noticed a very strange thing.

Today, many of the top courtesans had closed their doors and refused to have any guests.

Some people went to the brothel Madame indignantly. The old woman thought to herself,”are these grandaunt rebelling? how can they earn money if they don’t open a store?”

After asking around, he found out that all of the courtesans who had refused to pay their guests had gone to the Azure lake Court. There were a total of eight of them, which meant that the Azure lake Court had a total of nine courtesans.

“What’s going on?”

“From the sound … They seem to be very happy. Who are they entertaining?”

“How is that possible? which Big Shot would dare to do this during the investigation? Who would be stupid enough to personally give their weakness to the enemy?”

“Maybe they’re just playing around.”

what are you guessing? just go and ask.

A guest knocked on the door of the blue Pond court. Little Qing Yi, who was guarding the door, opened the door and was shocked by the scene in front of her.

At the entrance of azure lake Court, there were a dozen or so guests.

“What are the ladies doing inside?” A luxuriously dressed young man looked into the courtyard and asked in a deep voice.

“He’s entertaining a guest.” Little Qing Yi said.

There was a sudden silence at the entrance of the courtyard. After a few seconds, someone with a strange expression said, “”W-which Lord is inside …? If it’s not convenient to disclose, then forget it. ”

Little Qing Yi thought for a moment. The guest in the courtyard was young master Xu, not the Big Shot that the guests thought he was. He didn’t think there was anything to hide, so he said frankly, ”

“It’s not what you guys think, the guest inside is young master Xu.”

Young master Xu?

Everyone looked at each other and searched in their minds for a while, but they couldn’t find a person who could match it.

Were there any nobles or high officials with the surname Xu in this dynasty?

The young man who knocked on the door frowned and said, “”That young master Xu?”

“Xu Qi ‘an, the young master Xu Qi’ an who wrote about the incense.” The green-robed servant boy said. He had been rewarded with three coins of silver and was in a very good mood. This was all thanks to young master Xu, and he was happy to make his name known.

It was him?

At the scene, there were a few scholars whose eyes brightened.

“Let’s wait here, maybe we’ll be able to see a poem that’s passed down from generation to generation.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were originally angry and jealous also suppressed their emotions. The people present were all people of status. Even the merchants had an artistically attached heart.

nine top courtesans serving him. How elegant is that? I don’t think any of the previous scholars have received such treatment.

“The top scholar would not dare to be so extravagant.”
