Yang Fan was stunned. He had always wanted to know who Miss Cai Yun's master was and what was the purpose of him taking care of him. However, no matter how rich his imagination was, no matter how imaginative he was, he would never have thought that it was to introduce him to be a gigolo, to be the gigolo of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue.
Li Lingyue's face was like a flower, charming and lovely. She had been in love with Xue Shao for seven years and had never done anything lewd. It could be seen that she was not a loose woman. Once such a woman truly liked a man, she would definitely have feelings for him, even if she couldn't give him the status of a prince consort.
Just like how Empress Wu treated Xue Huaiyi, she was very fond of him. Even though Wu Zetian had gradually entered the role of an emperor and was no longer satisfied with spoiling only one person, her favor and preferential treatment towards Xue Huaiyi had never decreased. Moreover, if he could be loved by the young and affectionate Princess Taiping, he would definitely be in love, and glory, splendor, wealth, and rank would be just around the corner.
In particular, Princess Taiping was different from her mother. Princess Taiping was only 24 years old, and even if she didn't have the power and wealth that came with it, she was the object of countless men's desire with just her charming appearance. In addition to her unattainable status, it added to her charm. Just think about it, which man could resist such temptation?
Therefore, the noble princess said it calmly, without the slightest consideration that Yang Fan would refuse.
Money, beauty, power, everything was at his fingertips.
How could he not agree to a fugitive who would charge into a fire for a reward of a million yuan?
Looking at Yang Fan's startled expression, the Princess of Jin thought that he was in a daze of joy. She could not help smiling and saying, "Erlang need not worry. That day Taiping was very concerned about you. Bengong took a good look at you. Ha, ha, looking at you carefully, you really have some of Prince Consort Xue's charm. Although your appearance isn't similar, your charm is seventy to eighty percent the same. No wonder that girl Lingyue saw you … "
The noble princess smiled and said, "However, if you are in front of Taiping, you can't act as casually as you do in the marketplace. You can't behave in such a vulgar and rude manner. I have summoned you here to teach you some of the rules of a noble's residence. In the meantime … "
The noble princess glanced at Yang Fan and her eyes were filled with love, "Although you are handsome and charming, you are still young. Looking at you, I am afraid that you have not experienced the affairs between a man and a woman. If you want to win Taiping's favor, just having a good appearance is not enough."
As the noble princess spoke, she moved closer to the couch and said with a smile, "Erlang, you don't have to go back tonight. Stay in my mansion for a few days. When you are able to pass my test, I will send you to see Taiping. Hehe, other than her own husband, Taiping has never had any other man. As long as you learn the skill of seducing and pleasing women, you will definitely be able to please her. "
At first, when Yang Fan heard what she said, he thought of the beautiful mermaid-like figure and indeed had some thoughts. But this was a man's natural reaction to a beautiful woman. From the start, he had never thought of becoming a gigolo like Liu Junfan, a plaything under the knees of a noble lady.
At this time, he saw the noble princess's coy attitude. As an old woman in her sixties, she actually wanted to invite him, a young man who had not even reached the age of twenty, onto the couch. He couldn't help but feel disgusted. Yang Fan straightened his back and said solemnly, "Princess has good intentions, but Yang Fan has Yang Fan's rules as a person. Yang Fan is a dignified man and has never thought of being under a woman's crotch, asking for her favor in order to seek wealth and glory! Please forgive Yang Fan for not daring to accept the Princess's good intentions. Goodbye! "
As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, he stood up and left. The noble princess's smile immediately froze on her face. She had never thought that a mere worker like Yang Fan would have such ambition. He actually rejected the temptation of having everything just by nodding his head. It was too unexpected that she stood there, unable to react for a moment. It was not until Yang Fan turned around the folding screen that the noble princess came back to her senses. She angrily shouted, "Stop!"
Yang Fan slightly stopped, slightly turned around, and asked in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "What advice does Your Highness have?"
The noble princess sat up in shock and anger. Her mind was racing and she suddenly realized something. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed. This kind of temptation, no one should have rejected it. Not to mention a small worker like him who dared to risk his life for a million taels of silver, even those officials who studied poetry and books since childhood, who considered themselves disciples of the saints, many of them hoped to gain Empress Wu's favor and rise to the heavens in one step. In the end, this Yang Fan was still a young man, unexpectedly he thought she was too old and did not want to have an illicit relationship with her.
The noble princess thought of the reason Yang Fan refused her, she was ashamed and annoyed. But although she saw that this Yang Fan was young and handsome, very pleasant, and had the intention to make him her husband, her main purpose was still to establish a good relationship with Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping quite admired this young man, as long as she acted as a go-between and taught this young man some skills to flatter women, creating several opportunities for him and Taiping, they would definitely be able to achieve something good. When the time came, she was not afraid that Taiping would not accept her favor.
Thinking of this, the noble princess endured her embarrassment and said, "You, this young man, really don't know what's good for you! If ben gong wanted a man, would there be no need to worry about not having a guest? Ben gong has good intentions, wanting to teach you a lesson so that Taiping won't like you, but you dislike ben gong for being old. Since it's like this … then call Cai Yun to serve you. You should learn more skills in bed from her. A man can't be liked by a woman just because he is born with a good appearance. "
Cai Yun actually did not go far, waiting behind a few folding screens. Hearing the noble princess' instructions, she could not help but be pleasantly surprised. She had been drooling over a handsome young man like Yang Fan for a long time.
This Miss Cai Yun also liked handsome men, otherwise, she would not have hooked up with Feng Xiaobao, who sold wild herbs on the street. However, this Yang Fan was the person that the noble princess fancied first, so she did not dare to steal her master's favorite food. Who would have thought that after going around in circles, in the end, this good task still fell on her.
Cai Yun was bursting with joy, but then she heard Yang Fan sneer and say, "Your Highness is right. A man can't win a woman's heart just by relying on a good appearance. As a man in this world, appearance is secondary, talent is even more important. And the most important thing is a man's character. Meng Ke once said, 'Riches and honor cannot be corrupted, poverty cannot be shaken, and might cannot be subdued. This is what it means to be a man.' Although Yang Fan is a common man, if he bent his waist and bowed his head to serve a woman, even if he had a beauty in his arms, power in his hands, and riches on his body, he would not be happy! I disdain to be a dregs of medicine with others! "
As soon as these powerful words were spoken, Yang Fan immediately left with his head held high, causing the noble princess's face to turn pale with anger.
Speaking of this "dregs of medicine", it originated from a common joke. It was about an emperor in ancient times who saw his concubines with worried expressions and poor skin color, so he urgently called for an imperial doctor. The imperial doctor wrote a prescription: eight strong men. A few days later, the emperor came out of the Circuit Palace and was overjoyed to see his concubines glowing. Suddenly, he saw eight skinny men coming out in a line. He asked in surprise, "Who are you?" The imperial doctor replied, "Dregs of medicine!"
This joke was very widespread among the people. Even the people of the upper class knew about it. Of course, the noble princess had heard of this joke. Now that Yang Fan was using it to mock her, she was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Seeing this scene, Cai Yun couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious. Only when she heard Yang Fan's footsteps getting further and further away did she gather her courage to enter the bedroom. The noble princess sat on the couch, her chest heaving up and down violently. Her old face was already swollen and purple. Miss Cai Yun timidly said, "Princess?"
The noble princess's body moved slightly and a fierce look flashed across her eyes. She said in a deep voice, "Go, kill him for me!"
Cai Yun was startled and said hesitantly, "Princess, killing someone for no reason, I'm afraid …"
The noble princess sneered and said, "How can it be counted as no reason? This little thief entered this princess's mansion at night to steal property. Why can't he be killed on the spot by the mansion's servants? Go! "
Cai Yun's body trembled and she hurriedly complied. She turned around and rushed out to arrange the guards.
…
When Yang Fan came out of the noble princess's bedroom, the sky had already darkened. The palace lanterns in the halls and corridors were all lit. Yang Fan originally wanted to find a servant in the princess's mansion to take him away, but he saw that the corridor was deserted and there wasn't a single person there.
The imperial princesses followed the example of their superiors and subordinates. Although they often took their favored gigolos out to play and hunt, to the extent that everyone knew about it, it was no longer a secret. But at home, they still had to take care of their face. For example, this noble princess had a house full of children and grandchildren, how could she be so dissolute in public? Therefore, many servants were sent away.
Yang Fan saw that there was no one around and it was already late. If he stayed any longer, the workshop door would close, so he walked out along the path he came from.
The sky, which was already gloomy because of the continuous autumn rain, became even gloomier because night was approaching. Clouds gathered in all directions, and both sides of the corridor were covered with curtains of rain.
On one side of the corridor, there was a pond with a nine-zigzag bridge. The small bridge led to an exquisite and elegant three-storey building by the side of the pond. Looking out from the small building, one could see a pool of water with half a pool of dilapidated lotuses. The rainwater splashed on the lotus leaves and fell into the pool. It was so shallow that the raindrops were blooming and then extinguished. The dilapidated lotuses were swaying gently, looking very beautiful.
On the top floor of the small building, the double-pushed window lattice was wide open. A middle-aged Scribes in a snow-white robe was sitting in front of the window with a zither in front of him. The furnishings in the room were very simple, but a table, a table, a pavilion, and a pillar were all ancient. On the snow-white wall hung a few freehand landscape paintings.
Not far away, there was a red clay stove. The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly. A rough and classical pottery pot was placed on the small clay stove. The water was already boiling. Next to the stove was a small square table. On it was a tea set, tea leaves, and all kinds of seasonings that needed to be added. A beautiful girl dressed in an elegant light green lotus leaf robe was fetching water to make tea.
This girl was Tin Aino.
