###Chapter1,Time-travel
It was so painful.
A large bowl of cool water rushed over, and I felt cold. I slowly recovered my consciousness, and the burning pain on my whole body was also gradually clear.
"Mom, she woke up."
A hand lifted my chin, and I saw an old face covered with a thick layer of powder. Although she was no longer young, from her face shape and facial features, she was also a living beauty. Unfortunately, the powder was too thick.
The beauty seemed to be stunned when she saw him looking straight at her. Then she snorted with contempt, let go of her chin and wiped her hand with a handkerchief in disdain.
"Do you think it over? Will you accept my request or continue to suffer?" The beauty said to me with a proud face. Her voice was soft and charming, but her eyes were cold when she looked at others.
"Why should I promise you?" I reluctantly opened my mouth, but I felt extreme pain in my throat and my voice was as small as a mosquito's.
As if hearing some funny joke, the beauty laughed out loud and left a large number of white powder on the floor.
"What else can you do if you sell her to our Tianyue Tower? Do you want to be Princess Yu?"
The others in the room also laughed.
"Wind Moon Hall? Why does it sound so similar to the name of an ancient brothel?"
"Are you in the brothel?"
"Yes, this is a brothel." There was a faint sarcasm in the voice of the beauty.
At this time, I noticed that this beauty was wearing an ancient costume. Although the costume fitted her very well, making her slender waist and long legs look delicate and charming, it was a glaring sight in Ao Tabo's eyes.
This shouldn't be some cosplay or a movie set. I could clearly feel the marks of being whipped on my body. In a language that was so perfect and tough in the 21st century, there wouldn't be anyone who would dare to torture me like that. Even if there was, it wouldn't take too much effort to dress up as a person from the ancient times.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, this situation could only be regarded as time-travel. But it was fine to wear it, but why would it be worn on a woman who was sold to a brothel? It was fine if it was hard, but why was she still so stubborn and unwilling to give in? If she was a little weak and timid, and in the beginning, she nodded and promised not to suffer too much physical pain, would she not be beaten to death, and she didn't even have to come here?
I thought sorrowfully.
Since he came, then he should take things as they came. He should first figure out the environment he was in first.
"Sister Mei, could you please put me down first and give me some water and food? Then, let's discuss the question you mentioned in detail?" I tried my best to lower my voice and discuss with the beauty. It was painful, hungry and thirsty, and my voice was very soft. Even I felt ashamed and lowered when I heard that.
The beauty waved her hand, and a strong-willed man came over to loosen the rope for me and carried me to an old stool.
I quickly took the teapot from the table and took two sips. My throat was no longer as hot as it was before I turned to face the beauty.
"Cough! First of all, I'm no longer the same old me, so I won't stick to torturing or torturing myself like before. We have to put an end to violence and settle the problem of settling the problem peacefully. Also, I've completely changed and become a completely different person, so I can't remember the problems that have happened to the outside world. Hence, I have to first figure out the surrounding environment. Eh! Cough! What era is the current dynasty? Who's the current political ruler?" I coughed twice to cover up my embarrassment, not knowing if I would believe what I just said.
"You can call me Mother Li. As for your question," Mother Li said, giving me a few strange looks. In the end, she told me, "Now is the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, and the current emperor is the Holy Martial Emperor. He has been the emperor for 32,years." I had heard of the Xia Dynasty before. The establishment of the Xia Dynasty? When did it enter history? Although I didn't learn well, I was still sloppy. Therefore, this should not be a country with China's history.
"Then what about mother Li? What about the capital of the Xia Dynasty?"
"Our Tianyue Tower is located in the red-light district of Gui Ling, the capital of the Xia Dynasty."
That was to say, he was now stuck in the power center of the Xia Dynasty? In the novels, if the female king was in the power center of a country, she often had a lot of connections with the power holder. She would be a concubine or even the mother of a country, but he didn't want to be a poor woman who lost herself after fighting with many women for the love of a man.
"Well, you have asked what you should ask. Now, have you agreed?" Mother Li looked at me and said.
###Chapter2,Sell Your Arts But Not Your Body
"Mother, could you tell me how the ladies in your building were divided?" He needed to figure out the structure of the building before he could locate himself.
"This building is the top brothel that is famous throughout the entire Li Xia Dynasty, so there is a strict division in this building. The lowest-grade girls are doing hard work in the backyard and serving tea and water in the front hall. The first-grade girls are the personal maidservants of the famous girls on the brothel list. The second-grade girls are all ordinary girls, and the top ones are girls on the brothel list." Mother Li said to me one by one.
"The Ranking of Flowers Tower?"
"This is the feature of this brothel. The lists are full of some extremely beautiful or talented beauties. Originally, they were prepared for the high officials and the wealthy businessmen from other places. But now, they become one of the top talents of the Feminine-moon Building. The girl has also climbed the list." Madam Li said with a proud tone.
"Then, who are the most famous people on the list?" I continued to ask the lovely baby if I didn't understand.
"Miss Fuliu of the Spring Pavilion is the top of the list. She's not only the most beautiful girl in the brothel, but also the most talented. She's good at lute. And the second one is Miss Fanmei of the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, who's good at dancing. The third one is the beautiful girl of the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, who's good at flute. The fourth one is the green-clothed girl of the Chunlai Pavilion. She's good at singing, but not as beautiful as the previous girls. And the fifth one is..." Mother Li talked about it like she was introducing an outsider.
"Well, mother, tell me how to choose the rankings?" I interrupted her speech.
"Every three months, there will be a talent competition, and the guests will decide the first and the second."
"Oh, mother, I can promise you, but I want to be a artist who only sells my skills, not my body." I said firmly. Since I couldn't go back, and he insisted on letting me do this job, I had to force myself to go on. I had read so many novels, many heroines were in brothels, and maybe I could also achieve success.
"Do you have any strong points?" Her mother was a professional, so the questions were all the best.
"Your specialty?" I was lost in thought.
"Chess, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Her mother kindly reminded her.
Zither? Have you never heard of it? Don't talk about playing chess. Chess? Five chess, playing chess calculation? Calligraphy? If you can find pen, it's okay! Painting? Only in the childish garden did you paint the picture of the sun, houses, and big trees. Therefore, honesty is a virtue.
"No way..." The corners of his mother's eyes twitched.
"Then, is it good at dancing?"
He knew how to dance and practice radio gymnastics. He skipped the peacock dance on the sixth day in primary school, but he had almost forgotten it.
"I can learn it." As the old saying goes, as long as you live, you'll live until you're old.
Her mother's face could be described as grave, but after all, she had seen much of life experience, so she just coughed a little.
"You can sing?"
"Wow, madam, you're asking the point. I used to be the Micwin in the KTV. I dare not say that I can play all the popular music, but I can play hundreds of songs." I was not modest at all when it came to my strengths, but the hundreds of songs were a little exaggerated. Many of them were just a few words.
"You sing a few lines for me to listen to." Her mother's face was relieved, and her voice was no longer so cold.
"Singing on site? This is a little strange. I just encountered a time travel, so my mind is a little confused. I can't even remember the song!"
I looked around and found that this room was not so good, and the walls were so old... Wait, the walls? Yes.
"I'm a painter. I'm good at making faces. I want to make the new house very beautiful. I brush the roof and the wall. I'm busy flying. Alas, my new house has changed." I danced. I finally finished singing. I accidentally pulled the wound, and it hurt so much that I grimaced in pain.
Looking at her mother, her face changed from purple to blue, from green to red, and from red to white, which was really beautiful. The others in the house all shook their shoulders, and their faces were also red. "It is strange, is it so hot in the room? I don't think so."
"So, do you think you can perform with your level? Do you think that a messy song like this can attract people's attention?"
"There should be few artists in your Fengyue House, right? Only occasionally pushing out some fresh things can attract guests for a long time. Moreover, men are all despicable. The more they can't get, the more they go back to flatter them. Although I am not talented, I can also write some poems. Some talented women should not show off their talents. Only by being pure, can I attract the literati and ink denizens more easily, and even some local moneybags who want to pretend to be rich?" I finished speaking in one breath, and I was a little breathless.
"Well said, Madam Li, when did your Tianyue Tower have such a clever woman? Why didn't you show her to us? Instead, you hid in the backyard?" A distant, handsome voice came in with the opening of the door.
###Chapter3,First Meeting
He was elegant, gentle, and handsome. He was a nerd, and also a self-deprecated, romantic nerd. This was the first impression I had of him.
Mother Li changed her smile as soon as she saw the comer. Her voice was even more charming. She was not cold to me at all.
"The Prime Minister said that you have Miss Liu to accompany you, don't you? Besides, this girl has just come, and she doesn't know the rules. She is afraid of spoiling the mood of the adults. After teaching her in a few days, the Prime Minister will definitely come to support this girl before she is sent to the capital." This was the legendary slave-faced charm, hum.
The Prime Minister went straight to me as if he didn't hear what Li Mu's mother said.
He didn't stop until he was about two steps away from me. He stared at me carefully, inch by inch, as if I were an extremely rare treasure. If I hadn't known that he was no better than the beggars on the street with his disheveled hair and sallow skin, I would have thought that I was the most beautiful beauty in the world.
His vision slowly turned from exploration to trance, as if he was immersed in that beautiful memory. A smile even slowly bloomed in his eyes.
I looked at him uneasily. A rich man with high status in ancient times had a special hobby. He wouldn't think that I was like his old friend, who had left him, so he decided to lock me up, would he?
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" I carefully called in the softest voice. Forgive me for being a slave boy. I am a poor person who has no power, no money, and even has no freedom.
