The world of film and television begins from childhood

Mei Changsu, the Mu siblings, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xie Bi, Fei Liu.

Mu Qing and Yan Yujin were the most impatient and ran over first.

"Brother Yu, you finally came out. I was worried to death."

"Brother Yu, are you okay? Did His Majesty embarrass you?"

Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu also stepped forward to ask. Although Mu Nihuang didn't say anything, her eyes never left Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you all here? I'm fine. His Majesty called me because one of the top ten candidates in the preliminary examination of this son-in-law selection conference had an accident and can't attend tomorrow's palace banquet, so he asked me to take his place and go to the banquet with you tomorrow."

"what?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. Before, they were all worried about Baili Qi's affairs, but they didn't expect Zhou Chen to suddenly reveal such a big thing.

Mu Qing jumped up excitedly: "That's great, if you participate, Brother Yu, we don't have to worry about Bailiqi, that's great."

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also showed joy on their faces. Xiao Jingrui was better off, as he had seen Zhou Chen's abilities to some extent, but Yan Yujin had never seen it even once.

But when he saw Mu Qing, who was most worried about Mu Nihuang, was so happy, he was obviously full of confidence in Zhou Chen's strength.

Only Mei Changsu couldn't help but frown. Zhou Chen was not in his plan. Now that Emperor Liang asked Zhou Chen to participate, it directly disrupted his plan.

He didn't know what Emperor Liang said to Zhou Chen, but he knew that Zhou Chen must have paid something to get out safely, but he didn't feel comfortable asking now.

"Brother Yu, it's getting late. Since we have to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, let's all go back and rest."

Xiao Jingrui agreed: "Yes, yes, everyone go back first."

Mu Nihuang spoke at this time: "Qing'er, let's go back."

Mu Qing's face fell, and then he said flatteringly: "Sister, Brother Yu and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go back first, and Brother Yu and I will go over to catch up."

After saying that, he kept winking at Mu Nihuang. Mu Nihuang didn't know what he was up to, but thinking that Mu Qing might be able to get something out of Zhou Chen, she agreed.

He left a message saying "I have to go back at night" and then left.

Zhou Chen looked at Mu Qing who was staying and said, "Why are you staying? I don't have time to catch up with you."

Mu Qing chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Then I will play with Master Xiao and Master Yan."

Xiao Jingrui smiled and did not refuse. He just said to Zhou Chen: "Brother Yu, let's go back to Xuelu first, okay?"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Okay."

Mei Changsu said: "Brother Yu, you are tired too, just ride in the same carriage with me."

"no problem."

The group rode horses and drove away from the palace gate.

In the carriage, Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen both had solemn expressions. They asked Fei Liu to stand guard outside the carriage while they talked about things in the palace.

Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu all the processes and experiences. After listening, Mei Changsu pinched the corner of his clothes and pondered carefully.

"In the situation at that time, the choice you made was not a problem. Although denial and refusal may not necessarily lead to trouble, it is better to be safe than sorry."

Zhou Chen asked, "What are you going to do now? If I really take action tomorrow and defeat Bailiqi, your rescue plan will fail. But if I can't defeat Bailiqi, with Emperor Liang's cold personality, he will definitely not let me go."

"Yes, we are in a dilemma now. However, we can put the rescue on hold, but you must not get into any trouble."

"So what you mean is, give up saving people and let me defeat Bailiqi? No, absolutely not."

Zhou Chen refused without hesitation. He thought more about it. If he defeated Baili Qi, and Mu Nihuang suddenly chose him, and Emperor Liang granted them marriage, what would he do?

So this must never happen.

"So you have a better idea?"

Mei Changsu was also aware of Zhou Chen's thoughts, but things happened too suddenly. He had some ideas in his mind, but they were too risky. Zhou Chen was his best friend, and he didn't want Zhou Chen to take any risk.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes. On his way out of the palace, he was already thinking about countermeasures and had come up with a method.

"Tell me, what would happen if something happened to me and I couldn't go to the palace tomorrow?"

Mei Changsu instantly understood what Zhou Chen meant: "You want to create an accident for yourself? But His Majesty is not stupid, it won't be that easy."

"Yes, but we have no choice now. If you want me not to go to the palace tomorrow, there must be a perfect reason. I have thought of one. Do you think it is feasible?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu his thoughts. After hearing this, Mei Changsu's face became gloomy and he was struggling in his heart.

It’s a cloudy day today. My cervical vertebrae, back, and legs ache. I really can’t write any more. That’s all!

Chapter 830: Red Sleeves, Zhou Chen was assassinated, self-directed and self-acted

Jinling at night seemed much quieter than the bustle during the day, but Jinling's famous 'red light district' was more lively than usual.

Because of the recent Princess Nihuang's son-in-law selection conference, too many outsiders have gathered in Jinling, not to mention people from other countries who have also come to join in the fun.

"Brother Yu, we have to prepare to go to the palace for a banquet early tomorrow morning. It's not a good idea to come here at night, right?"

Although Yan Yujin was also a frequent visitor to brothels, he basically would not do that kind of thing. He would mostly go to Miaoyinfang to listen to music and watch dancing.

If it were normal, he wouldn't mind coming here to play with Zhou Chen, but the problem was, there was a palace banquet tomorrow, and Zhou Chen actually dragged him to a place like this tonight to have fun.

Before Zhou Chen could say anything, Mu Qing beside him started yelling, "Hey Yujin, you are a famous young master in Jinling, why are you so timid?"

Yan Yujin was speechless when he heard Mu Qing, who was a few years younger than him and whom he was not very familiar with, calling him by his name so rudely. This young Prince Mu was really a very sociable person.

"My young prince, this has nothing to do with courage."

Mu Qing said, "If you don't want to go, you can go back first. Brother Yu and I will go."

Ever since his sister Mu Nihuang came to Jinling, he has never had the chance to come to such a place. Today, Zhou Chen brought him here. Even if his sister knew about it, he could put the blame on Zhou Chen.

Kill two birds with one stone, perfect!

"Okay, stop talking. Yu Jin didn't say he wouldn't go. If he really didn't want to go, he would have refused just like Jing Rui did."

Zhou Chen's words made Yan Yujin very embarrassed. It turned out that when Zhou Chen was at Xie's house, he invited everyone to go to the brothel together. As a result, Xiao Jingrui was so scared that he quickly refused and refused no matter how Yan Yujin persuaded him. Mei Changsu refused on the grounds that he was weak and needed to rest.

In the end, naturally only Zhou Chen, Mu Qing and Yan Yujin came.

Yan Yujin no longer talked about going back, but asked: "Then should we go to Miaoyinfang?"

Mu Qing didn't say anything and looked at Zhou Chen. He was now a frequent visitor to brothels. To be honest, he was not really willing to go to Miaoyinfang. It was too pretentious and he preferred to be straightforward.

But today Zhou Chen was taking the lead, so he didn't express any opinions. He just went wherever Zhou Chen said to go.

Zhou Chen said: "You all know my situation. I can't relax at Miaoyinfang, so I'm going to Hongxiuzhao next door today. I heard that place is not worse than Miaoyinfang."

Mu Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly: "Okay, let's go to Hongxiuzhao. Brother Yu, let me tell you, the girls there are really graceful, with beautiful figures, and very sexy..."

Yan Yujin stared at Mu Qing in surprise. Mu Qing had just reached adulthood, but the way he said these words was even more calm than those veteran prostitutes. How old was this boy when he started visiting brothels?

In the past, he only knew that the young prince Mu was a bit of a mixed-up person, but he didn't know the details. However, his recent contact made him realize that the young prince Mu and Princess Nihuang were two extremes. If Princess Nihuang was a man, this kid would never have been able to take the position of Prince Mu.

But during this period of time he also found out why Mu Qing became like this, it seemed that it was because of this Young Master Yu.

This made him feel uncomfortable. He was the eldest son of the Yan family, so how could he be worse than Young Master Yu?

This young man Yu is a playboy and has visited many brothels. Why is Miss Gong Yu so infatuated with him?

It would be fine if it was just Miss Gong Yu, but even the heroic woman Sister Nihuang would fall in love with him. This is too unfair.

Of course, he was just expressing his feelings in his heart. In fact, through spending these days together, he found that Gongzi Yu was indeed a very good person, just as Jing Rui said.

Not only is he a martial arts expert, he is also a talented writer and is very humorous. Most importantly, he doesn't care about their status at all. He is not restrained at all and makes friends and chats with them as he pleases.

In short, his biggest feeling is that when he is with Zhou Chen, he doesn't have to worry about anything and can say whatever he thinks. It feels very relaxing and comfortable.

"Brother Yu, I heard that Hongxiuzhao doesn't have a very good reputation. Do we really want to go there?"

Zhou Chen looked at Yan Yujin speechlessly, "Brother, this is a brothel, what reputation do you care about? As long as they don't force sales, don't lie, don't cheat, and don't set up traps, that's enough."

What's more, in this street, Hong Xiu Zhao can compete with Miao Yin Fang, and the girls there are in a different league compared to those in other brothels.

The most important thing is that he chose Hong Xiu Zhao not just for the girls inside, he has more important things to do.

"Now that you've mentioned that, I'm even more interested. I want to see what kind of bad reputation Yujin is talking about."

Seeing Zhou Chen and Mu Qing heading straight for Hong Xiuzhao, Yan Yujin could only follow them helplessly.

As soon as Zhou Chen and Yan Yujin entered Hongxiuzhao, they were shocked by the luxurious atmosphere inside. Compared with the elegant Miaoyinfang, the atmosphere of Hongxiuzhao seemed particularly extravagant.

The prostitutes of the brothel, scantily clad girls, were interspersed between the lobby and the pavilions. Moreover, each of these girls was very pretty, with a graceful figure and charming looks.

Mu Qing chuckled and said, "How is it? Brother Yu, this Hong Xiu Zhao is definitely the best brothel in this area. It can definitely make people feel relaxed and happy, and they will never want to leave. Whatever you want, it can meet your requirements. Except for the high price, there are really no other disadvantages."

He had been in the capital for a long time and had frequented brothels, but the one that left the deepest impression on him was Hong Xiu Zhao. Compared with Hong Xiu Zhao, the brothels in their southern border were not comparable at all.

Even a gentleman like Yan Yujin couldn't control his eyes at this moment. He had never seen such a gesture by the red sleeves before, so he was inevitably a little surprised.

Zhou Chen just nodded calmly. In the eyes of Mu Qing and the others, these women in Hong Xiuzhao were already very exposed, but to him, they were nothing.

No matter how exposed you are, can you compare to the later generations? Do you know what a miniskirt is? Do you know what black silk is? Have you seen what strange clothes are? Do you know...

So this place is just like that to him, not as good as the clubs of later generations. As for the variety, that's not to mention. Is there a water bed? Yes...

Can't think, can't think...

Zhou Chen remained calm on the surface, and just nodded calmly: "Since you are familiar with this place, please arrange a private room for us."

"Okay, no problem, just watch me, Brother Yu."

Mu Qing ran excitedly to make arrangements. Zhou Chen thanked the madam who came to introduce them and sat down in the lobby with Yan Yujin.

Yan Yujin's face turned a little red, mainly because the atmosphere here was really not right and he couldn't accept it.

"Brother Yu, I must go back home at night."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm not planning to stay here overnight. I just haven't been here before. Come and see for yourself. Don't be so nervous."

"I'm not nervous. Why should I be nervous? I'm not nervous at all." Yan Yujin's voice rose in a nervous tone.

"I'm just worried about you, Brother Yu. Miss Gong Yu is right across the street. If she knew you were here, wouldn't she be angry?"

Zhou Chen understood what Yan Yujin meant. He simply felt that he was being unfair to Gong Yu by doing this.

"Yu Jin, let me put it this way. I am a playboy, but not a vulgar person. You don't know much about Gong Yu and I, but now that we have expressed our feelings to each other, I will not do anything to let her down. I came here with you today purely for fun and to broaden my horizons."

The corners of Yan Yujin's mouth twitched. "Brother, it was you who proposed to come here. Why does it seem like we forced you to come here?"

Not long after, Mu Qing arranged a private room, and then took Zhou Chen and Yan Yujin to the private room, and called several girls over at once. Two girls sat next to each of them, who were responsible for pouring wine, etc.

Mu Qing's hands were not idle, and he was flirting with the girl with a smile, which made Yan Yujin stunned.

He felt that he had underestimated Mu Qing. This kid had just reached adulthood, but he knew much more than him.

He was too embarrassed to make any move on the two women beside him, and when the girls wanted to help him, he refused.

Then he looked at Zhou Chen again and found that Zhou Chen had made the two girls beside him giggle, and they were very harmonious and interesting.

However, he also discovered that Zhou Chen was also very restrained. He was not as unrestrained as Mu Qing. It was indeed like he was just acting according to the circumstances.

After drinking a lot, the six girls started to play music and dance for Zhou Chen and the other two.

The three of them sat together and started chatting.

Only at this time did Yan Yujin relax. He was still not used to the scene just now. Compared to this, he still preferred to listen to music and appreciate the moon.

Seeing Mu Qing staring blankly at the dancers, Yan Yujin whispered to Zhou Chen, "Brother Yu, at the palace banquet tomorrow, His Majesty will probably let you fight with Bailiqi. Are you sure you can defeat Bailiqi?"

He seemed to be laughing, but he was actually a very smart man. He immediately guessed the intention of Emperor Liang to let Zhou Chen replace the contestant.

Zhou Chen said ambiguously: "Yujin, don't worry, Bailiqi is nothing to worry about, Princess Nihuang will not marry him."

Yan Yujin immediately said happily: "I feel relieved when you say this. Sister Nihuang is such a good person, we all hope that she can be happy."

"I will, I will."

Zhou Chen responded with a smile, and his ears suddenly moved, as if he heard some sound.

"Yujin, I'm going to go to the bathroom, you guys sit down first."

"Wait, I'll come with you."

Yan Yujin stood up and followed Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was walking in front and just opened the door when suddenly a cold light came at him at such a fast speed that he was hit before he could even react.

"Pfft!"

The tip of the sword cut through the flesh and pierced Zhou Chen's abdomen. At the critical moment, Zhou Chen suddenly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the sword and stopped it from piercing further. However, because he used too much force, his right hand was cut and blood flowed out.
