《Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good》Chapter 29A: Her Methods
Advertisement
Following that was the bidding for the woman in red. As long as their bid was the highest, then tonight, they would win the company of this Miss Hongyu (Rainbow Jade). But, Mama Du emphasized, that it's only for conversation and drinks, singing a song, or playing instruments. These are all acceptable. Spending the night? Impossible!
"What? After paying money, she still won't spend the night? How can there be this kind of rule?" Immediately, someone shouted out in dissatisfaction.
"This gentleman......"
Mama Du's complexion also darkened. "This is our Heavenly Dream Tower's rule. The three young ladies tonight are all pure persons. We spent four to five years worth of labor just to train them to this point. They sell their skills, not their bodies. If you're not willing, then just don't spend money."
That person was just going to blow up, when unexpectedly, someone voiced by his side. "The beauty of a nation, with looks just like a celestial, how can she be defiled as you wish like some common woman? A beauty is like a flower, she naturally should be admired from a distance and can not be played with obscenely. Everyone, don't you think this is true?"
Once she saw the person speaking, Mama Du became pleasantly surprised. "It's the respected Senior Teacher Wang. You can take pity on these daughters of our courtesan house, I thank Senior Teacher Wang's understanding on their behalf."
This white haired and bearded elderly man was a famous scholar in the current administration. He was even previously a royal teacher when His Majesty was still the crown prince. Since he already said these words, who would still dare to touch the young ladies at Heavenly Dream Tower?
"Yes, yes, Senior Wang is correct."
"Naturally, this is justified. We are not like those vulgar, shameless common soldiers." A group of scholars sitting in a circle revealed faces of even more disgust. They fell only slightly short of charging towards that person to spit on him.

This incident passed very quickly. Everyone started to focus on the bid for Miss Hongyu, the first performer on stage.
It need not be said, that since the person who was once His Majesty's respected teacher, Senior Wang, looked favorably upon her, no one dared to disrespectfully fight over her with him. He merely spent one hundred taels of silver and no one else at the scene bid higher.
Having been pleasantly surprised by the first performance onstage, everyone looked towards the subsequent performance with even more expectation.
The oldest son of the commander in charge of five cities' troops, Sun Feng even more straightforwardly said. "Mama Du, have people turn off the lights without delay. Quickly call out the second young lady!"
Turning towards him with a smile and waving the silk fabric in her hand, Mama Du replied. "Everyone, please look. Next to appear is Miss Ruyan."
The lobby immediately quieted down. Even a needle dropping could be heard. It's just that the lights were not extinguished like before. Everybody was unable to take their eyes away as they stared attentively at the center of the stage. Sure enough, they heard a mechanical sound.
"She's coming......coming......" Someone already couldn't wait as his hand shook in excitement.
A young lady wearing a light blue muslin dress slowly ascended from the big hole on the stage. Her head tilted down slightly as her feathery eyelashes trembled like a pitiful lovely flower. Wearing a very light layer of makeup, her cheeks were tender and lovely. On her earlobes were amethyst drop earrings which swayed unceasingly, making her entire person look lively and moving. Her appearance immediately caused countless men to click their tongues and sigh with feeling.
"Beautiful, indeed beautiful."
"Really is a woman as beautiful as a dream, how can she be encountered ordinarily?"

In front of her, a zither was placed. It was evident that this is for her to play. Everyone became even more impatient.
And at this moment, at the fifth floor upstairs, Luo Qing Luan and Nangong Yu became very busy.
"This is the moment. Start." Luo Qing Luan immediately gave the order.
Nangong Yu's swept the surrounding areas and saw the ten plus people surrounding all of the outside corridors on the fifth floor. Each of them were holding a bowl in one hand, while the other hand was holding a long stalk of wheat. They were already prepared. He immediately said. "What are you guys blanking out for? Hurry and blow!"
"Yes, master."
All of the servants immediately started to take the hollow wheat stalks, immersed them within the special liquid inside the numerous bowls, then extended over the railings to blow air towards the outside.
Very quickly, each and every multi-colored bubble were blown out, swaying slightly, before each multi-colored bubble descended as light as feathers.
As they fluttered about, at this point, there were tens of big and small bubbles which floated downwards. Nangong Yu's eyes shined as he watched. Even he had never imagined that these things which Luo Qing Luan fiddled with unexpectedly could have this kind of effect.
Previously, they were running out of time, so he only watched one or two people blow bubbles. Moreover, they were standing before him. Naturally, he was unable to feel this kind of dreamlike scene where the bubbles covered the sky and fluttered about as they fell.
He could almost imagine how promptly, exclamation after exclamation of admiration would sound from below.
"Gasp. My God, quickly look!"
As expected, when those bubbles floated downward and surrounded Miss Ruyan, everyone were stunned.
Continually, each and every one of the bubbles gently floated in the air before they burst, descending, some even floated down on Miss Ruyan's hair, or perhaps, floated on her zither. Never having seen such a scene before, everybody watched to the point where their eyes stared wide open.
"Surprisingly, there's such an arrangement, it really is......"
Some of the scholars and wealthy young masters were even more excited. These fantasy like bubbles contrasted with the outstandingly beautiful, gorgeous and refined Miss Ruyan. Immersed in the sweet, sharp and clear sound of the zither, they were simply a perfect match.
Nangong Yu was so excited that his face reddened, as he unceasingly waved his hand like a conductor. "Hurry, hurry, make more of them. The effect will be even better."
As he was saying this, he looked at Luo Qing Luan, simply admiring her to the extreme. "Worthy Brother Luo, what in the world did you blend into the water that surprisingly could produce such splendid things."
"What does this count as. Merely some stuff to serve as the background, that's all."
