014 Only Loves to Drink and Listen to Songs

The space inside the carriage was too narrow. Linghu Shui Yue sat with a straight back, her left hand limp on the thigh of her splayed legs, her right hand swaying the paper fan, her eyes glaring at ninth lord Zhu You Hong.

She was thinking, after arriving at Yu Qiong Lou, how can she shake off this “tail”? Why did this “tail” become her “tail? She doesn’t quite believe this is only a coincidence.

Zhu You Hong has never seen a courtier dare to glare himYou wang ninth lord. Although he is Linghu eldest young master, he is only a courtier. No matter what, he is You wang, the ninth lord. He is the most distinguished wangye of Da Yan.

However, though he felt Linghu eldest master was a little rude, he didn’t hate it. On the contrary, his mouth was slightly upturned, finding it quite interesting.

“Linghu young master is going to Yu Qiong Lou to sponsor who?” Anyone who is going to Yu Qiong Lou tonight, besides watching the fun, they probably had a woman they liked. Though it is rumored in Yan capital that Linghu eldest master doesn’t leave the house, that is only a rumor.

“This young master has never set foot in salacious places. This is the first time. I plan to go to gain experience. I’m not there to sponsor anyone. Since Ninth lord asks, is there a an old sweetheart you need to sponsor? Don’t know which one of of Yu Qiong Lou’s top four huakui does ninth lord like: Shui Xian, Zi Yao, Lan Ting, or Shu Qing?” Since Linghu Shui Yue is going to Yu Qiong Lou, naturally she must inquire about the sitation in Yu Qiong Lou.

“Women, Huan plump or Yan slender is all the same. Benwang doesn’t pay much attention, only wants to listen to some music and drink” In fact Zhu You Hong rarely sets foot into the red-district.

(T/N: Huan plump or Yan slender 环肥燕瘦 refers to the two famous beauties of chinese history Yang Yu Huan and Zhao Fei Yan. Yuhuan was known for being plump and well-endowed while Feiyan was a slender elegant woman)

Even the palace maids in his You wangfu were all very good-looking. Having seen too much of beauties, the women in the red district were no longer beauties.

Instead, it was the “Linghu eldest master” sitting in front of him, clothed in a snow white outfit, a paper fan gently swaying, a black jade coronet held up the three thousand strands of hair, some strands caressed his forehead.

“His” eyebrows were like distant mountains, face like hibiscus, lips were red without any rouge, the face was both masculine and feminine. From afar, “his” beauty was capable of toppling kingdoms; looking closely, “his” beauty outshines the moon and shames the flowers, causes fish to drown and cranes to drop from the sky. So otherworldly, moving and alluring “man” was really difficult to describe with pen and ink.

No wonder some people secretly jokingly gossiped: “The world’s ‘first beautiful man’ is You wang, ninth lord Zhu You Hong, because Linghu young master Linghu Huo Ri isn’t in the world, but in the sky.”

Even a man like him, Zhu You Hong who has seen many beauties in the palace, facing Linghu Huo Ri, it was difficult to tear his eyes away.

Linghu Shui Yue listening to Zhu You Hong’s words, it seems that he didn’t put the four huakui of Yu Qiong Lou in his eyes. But since he doesn’t care for it, why does he still attend and listen to music and drink?

“This young master heard, Yu Qiong Lou’s Miss Shui Xian is as beautiful as a fairy, gentle like water and has a special liking for ninth lord.” Linghu Shui Yue didn’t want the atmosphere inside the carriage to be too tense so she casually pulled a topic.

“Benwang isn’t interested in the girls in the brothel, only likes to drink and listen to music.” Zhu You Hong’s lips pursed tightly, his mouth tugged downwards, as if the family’s lady liking him was an insult to his high status.

How could Linghu shui Yue know, the topic she randomly mentioned was not much liked by Zhu You Hong. He the noble ninth lord You wang, that a brothel girl dares to have a soft spot for him, he did indeed think that was delusional, it wasn’t worth thinking about!

Hmph! If you’re not interested then you’re not interested! Do you need to wear such a frosty face? You’re not interested, yet you still go drink and listen to songs, then you’re only interested in the wine and songs?
