The news reached the palace, and Li Ke, a talented man with both civil and military skills, appeared in front of the three of them soon. Every time he saw Li Ke, Wei Jiu always felt a sense of frustration.

Appearance is not enough, talent is not enough, let alone martial arts and family. The most important point is that Wei Jiu cannot understand the thoughts of His Highness. In short! He didn't want to talk after seeing Li Ke.

Today, Li Ke was also dressed in white, but there was something otherworldly about it. Wei Jiu looked at his fox tail soaked in water, and felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

Li Ke came by carriage. When he saw the three of them, he noticed that there was some snow on their bodies and ordered the carriage to be driven away. He walked to the three of them and took out a handkerchief in his arms and handed it to Wei Jiu.

"Why do you still wear this fluffy brocade jacket on a snowy day? It's already soaked."

In terms of how they behave, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are really no match for Li Ke. Wei Jiu took the handkerchief and wiped the snow on the hair on his neck. He didn’t say thanks or say anything. He just pointed in the direction of Pingkangfang and the four of them walked side by side.

.

After chatting along the way, Li Ke understood why these three people were wandering on the street in this snowy day.

Li Ke stretched out his hand to brush off the snow on Wei Jiu's shoulders, and said softly at the same time.

"You can hide away from Qingque if you can, because he is the second son. He is outstanding in literary talent. His father and mother are very doting on him. He is a little brat, so just ignore him."

Wei Jiu laughed and nodded. What he thought in his heart was that Li Tai was indeed childish.

When the four of them walked into Pingkangfang, Li Chongyi's legs began to tremble. The last wave of turmoil when he brought the Crown Prince to the brothel was not settled. This time he came here with His Highness King Wu. They all said that the Queen was scary, but the one who was born in

Daxing Palace, Concubine Yang who grew up in Daxing Palace is not someone to be trifled with, and she is also a very favored concubine in the palace.

But now that I'm here, I don't have any intention of turning around and running away. Let's just go inside.

The reason they came to Wenrou Township today was to avoid the scourge of Li Tai. They had no other place to go. Although Pei Yu refused to allow them to visit Pei Mansion, Wei Jiu was afraid. He was afraid of this woman's business affairs.

.

When the four of them were still some distance away from Wenwen Township, the old madam from Wenwen Township had already greeted him at the door with the girls. Qu Qingxuan stood beside the old madam, with an indifferent expression. He was not happy because Wei Jiu came, but remained silent.

Standing there quietly, she had no expression, but Li Ke said something sour.

"Love ends at the lips, pretty lady in the snow, now I know why you came here wearing this outfit, tsk tsk tsk."

He did not call himself the king but called himself me. Li Ke knew the details very well.

Wei Jiu was too lazy to explain. He nodded with a smile and strode towards Wenrou Township. Although today's Wenrou Township was cold, it was a little warmer. The four of them sat down in front of the fireplace on the first floor. Qu Qingxuan took Mianxi and Huanyi with him.

Arriving next to the four of them with dry clothes in his arms, Qu Qingxuan gently helped Wei Jiu change out of his clothes. There was no hint of shyness on his face, which made Wei Jiu feel a little less shy.

"The relatives haven't left yet? I can just come by myself. I came here today to hide from someone. You can go back and rest."

Qu Qingxuan blushed and knocked off Wei Jiu's claws, then lowered his head and said.

"Why do you always mention that in front of a woman? I'm fine and I stayed here to serve tea and water. I know you like drinking tea, so I prepared some specially."

She had already said this, and it was all Wei Jiu's fault for refusing. She changed her clothes and lay down on the couch to enjoy the moment of peace. After a while, four cups of tea were delivered to several people. Wei Jiu stood up to drink tea.

, and smiled at Li Ke at the same time.

"Drinking tea without a toast said, Your Highness, do you mind?"

Li Ke shook his head. It was his first time to drink this kind of tea. There was no ginger, garlic, or oil. It was slightly bitter in the mouth, but it had a different taste. The three of them tasted the tea, and Wei Jiu had already started talking about business with the old madam. Li Ke listened attentively.

, his face slowly turned from indifferent to serious, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, he interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Do you also have research on brothels? What happens if you redeem those women and they run away? Isn't the money wasted in vain?"

Wei Jiu didn't expect that Li Ke would be interested in this kind of thing, so he smiled and said softly.

"I won't hide it from you. You saw what happened between me and His Highness the Crown Prince last time. I remember you were there when I was whipped. Think about it, we were both punished. This gentle village can escape.

?The Queen is not so stingy as to have trouble with this brothel, but it is inevitable that someone will want to please the Queen, right?"

This time, not only Li Ke, but also Li Chongyi kept nodding, because his father, in order to take care of the prince's face, directly attacked Wen Wenxiang, but the little stumbling block behind his back was very useful.

But Wei Jiu didn't know. In his heart, it was the Queen who did this behind the scenes. How many women are not petty? He saw the three people nodding and said again.

"If this brothel closes and the girls are displaced, it will be the fault of me and the prince, Chongyi. In order to change the current situation, we have to use money to eliminate the disaster. If Wenwen Township pays to redeem the women of Pingkangfang, the Queen

The empress will definitely be satisfied. After the anger in her heart dissipates for a while, Wenrou Township will be able to come back to life. As for how to make these free girls stay, it depends on the ability of the money man. Let’s talk about it first, skin and flesh business

I won't interfere."

"What's the specifics? Tell me."

Li Ke seemed to be interested in this aspect, and Wei Jiu didn't hide it. He told several people all the plans he had in mind, which made the old madam next to him very excited. The last time he just gave her a simple

I said a few words, but this time it was a very detailed plan. I was afraid that I had missed something, so I quickly called Tanxi, and Huanyi took notes and couldn't miss a word.

After the detailed plan was revealed, Li Ke's expression became a little shocked. Not only him, but also Li Chongyi and Qin Huaiyu looked at Wei Jiu as if they were monsters.

Is he really only thirteen years old? At the age of thirteen, he can guess a man's mind so accurately and make a detailed business plan?

"Well, I'm going to make a digression with you. Most couples these days are married by their parents, right? Some may not even see what they look like when they enter the bridal chamber, so there is no relationship between husband and wife. I won't mention exceptions.

Well, a man comes to a brothel just for pleasure. What he enjoys is not the three or five times of being naked and touching each other, but a feeling. Can his wife and concubines at home accompany him to drink with his friends? The answer is of course no, but we in Wenrou Township can do it.

, you can sleep with our girl if you want, either you need to cultivate a relationship, or you are willing to spend money, otherwise there is no need to discuss it, so I have come to see Your Highness today for another matter, what, have you made money now? If not, let's discuss it?

"

After saying that! Li Ke turned around and put on his shoes and left. This Wei Jiu is too scary. If he takes over the business of this brothel, I am afraid that all the men in Chang'an will die. It would be strange if his pockets are not wiped out by him, and he is a prince.

Started a brothel business? If your father knew about this, wouldn't you be skinned?
