Recently, Xiao Jiashan likes to play with the sons of the Marquis of Dongxin and the Prince of Kangping. Although these two families are not as powerful as before in the capital, their reputation is still there. It's just that their children are not good enough and can't make a name for themselves in the court.

The two young masters finally got the chance to play with the current Fifth Prince, so of course they flattered Xiao Jiashan everywhere and offered him all kinds of benefits.

If Xiao Jiashan becomes emperor in the future, perhaps the two families will rise up and regain their former glory.

Since the rise of the imperial examination system and the emperor's preference for these selected officials, the situation of the children of officials who entered the court with the help of their family has become somewhat awkward.

The family, which was once glorious, has put a lot of effort into the education of the younger generations.

There were also some who were unwilling to put in the effort, but in just a few decades, they fell behind other families.

The sons of Marquis Dongxin and Prince Kangping were particularly nervous. They were asked to study, but they had no talent and were too weak to fight on the battlefield. The only thing they could do was to speak sweet words to the Fifth Prince.

Xiao Jiashan especially likes to play with the two of them.

First of all, his status is respectable, so it is not shameful to be a follower of this prince.

The second group was young masters of similar status. Some of them were too dissolute and vulgar. If Empress Dowager Zheng knew that Xiao Jiashan was hanging out with them, she would definitely skin him alive.

Some are either full of nonsense or full of talk about emperor-emperor, minister-minister, father-father, son-son. These are even more boring together, just like having an old scholar around you.

The sons of the Marquis of Dongxin and the Prince of Kangping were romantic but not vulgar, their words were pleasing to the eyes, and what they showed to Xiao Jiashan were rare things.

Today, Xiao Jiashan originally wanted to go to the Dong Xinhou Mansion to play and see how the singer that the Dong Xinhou brought out to the banquet last time was doing.

But the son of Duke Dongxin said that his father was at home today, and if his father knew that he brought the prince to see these things, he would definitely beat him and not let him leave the house for ten months.

Prince Kangping never brings anyone to his house. It is said that his family is strictly controlled, and he is a bastard's son, so he cannot explain to his family.

On weekdays, if he was the banker, he would prefer to take people to places like the Music House and the Jiaofang to listen to music and watch plays.

Xiao Jiashan listened to music and watched opera today, but he still found it boring.

Seeing that Xiao Jiashan was unhappy and dull today, the young master of Dongxinhou and the young master of Kangpingwang looked at each other.

What they were most worried about was that Xiao Jiashan thought they were boring and would not play with them anymore.

Recently, a Mengchunfang opened in Beijing. You can tell what it does just by listening to the name.

The girls inside were only selling their art but not their bodies, so it seemed a little more innocent if they told others about it. Many officials secretly went in there despite court regulations, and if they were really caught, they could still explain themselves by saying that the girls were only selling their art but not their bodies.

The son of the Marquis of Dongxin and the son of the Prince of Kangping discussed it and took Xiao Jiashan inside and called out the top performer.

This was the first time Xiao Jiashan had been to such a place. When two charming girls leaned against him in their arms, his whole body went soft.

Young Master Dong Xinhou chuckled.

The rules in the palace are strict. The princes are not allowed to do this or that. As for enjoying life, they may not be able to enjoy it as well as those outside the palace.

Mengchunfang sells art to others but not bodies, but there is no such rule for real dignitaries.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Jiashan hugged the top pick and went to the bed inside.

The son of Marquis Dongxin and the son of Prince Kangping each brought their lover into the house.

To be honest, while Xiao Jiashan was amazed, he also felt that the girls here were somewhat similar to Concubine Wei in his own mansion.

In any case, Xiao Jiashan felt that the girls in the brothel were much better than those well-behaved girls in the mansion. If it weren't for the empress dowager's supervision, he really wanted to bring one home.

The two were having fun making love to each other when a large group of people came into Mengchunfang.

The manager and madam of Mengchunfang came out quickly. Seeing a group of officials coming in, the manager said with a smile, "You are here to investigate? We are always clean here. I guarantee nothing will happen!"

The leading officer glanced around and said, "The court prohibits officials from visiting prostitutes. Go up and search to see who dares to violate the court's ban!"

The madam was immediately displeased when she saw this scene: "As everyone knows, the girls in our Mengchunfang only sell their art but not their bodies! You are here to mess things up, right? Do you know who is behind our Mengchunfang? Do you know which gentleman is listening to the music upstairs?"

At the madam's command, the people from Mengchunfang blocked the stairs.

To do such a big business in the capital, it is impossible without a background. Most of the people behind the scenes are supported by royal palaces or marquisates.

The madam looked down on this group of small officials. When she remembered that there were three masters, the Fifth Prince, the Prince of Kangping, and the Prince of Dongxin, in charge, her attitude became even more arrogant: "Go back and tell your masters that we can't check here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from outside.

This man had a slender figure, his hair was tied with a purple gold crown, and he wore a black gold robe. His face was deep and his features were distinct. When his narrow eyes swept over, it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

The madam didn't know the other person's identity, but she had been immersed in the business world for many years and could tell the aura and identity of a person at a glance.

Judging from the situation, this man is not only born into a powerful family, but also has power in his hands. This is extremely rare because most of the young men in the capital are born into a powerful family but have no real power, and the real power is mostly in the hands of their fathers.

"Violators will be killed." Xiao Chengji said coldly, "Go up and search."

He said this lightly, but as soon as the voice fell, those people who were blocking the stairs in Mengchunfang dared not to stop them anymore. Even the madam and the steward stammered and said, "Sir, you can't search... The Fifth Prince is in there. If you disturb the Fifth Prince's interest..."

Xiao Chengji walked up the stairs.

He had been waiting for so many days, and he was guarding the fifth prince.

Queen Zheng was in the deep palace, she was a woman who didn't care about politics, and Xiao Chengji couldn't touch her.

But the fifth prince was in a miserable state.

The two comments Queen Zheng made to Yan Yu during those days made Yan Yu a laughing stock among the ladies and concubines.

Disaster comes from the mouth.

Queen Zheng doesn't speak properly. She should either learn how to speak properly or shut up and never speak again.

This time, the fifth prince will become a bigger joke.

The hollow carved door was kicked open with a bang. The Fifth Prince was in high spirits, but he was frightened and wilted instantly.

The courtesan was so frightened that she screamed and quickly hid in the innermost area.

Xiao Jiashan had no idea what was going on. He was put in clothes and carried out in a daze.
