Chapter 104 Strong

It was not just Han Xu who was surprised, but others were as well.

Everyone had a question in their mind, how could Yingying, the courtesan of Yanchun Pavilion, appear here?

In such a serious occasion, how could the prince think of arranging a group of brothel girls to dance?

Then, someone turned their eyes to Han Xu.

The people present, especially the young people, were all frequent visitors to the royal city's romantic circle. Everyone knew that the four courtesans of the royal city were Han Xu's confidantes.

Now Qing'er, Nishang, and Bai Yiyi have become Han Xu's maids, and the only one missing is Yingying in front of him.

Some people thought that maybe there would be some unexpected surprises today.

"Master!"

"Watch it." Han Xu looked at Yingying and said to Qing'er behind him.

He knew that Qing'er had questions in her heart, but he couldn't answer them now.

Since this dance was arranged by the prince, it would never be a coincidence that Yingying appeared here.

But Han Xu couldn't think of what the prince's purpose was now. Just watch first. No matter what he wanted to do, he would know sooner or later.

As the music changed, Yingying's long skirt fluttered, and her beautiful eyes swept all around. As long as you looked at her, you could feel the dignity and pride in her eyes.

After a circle, Yingying's eyes fell on Han Xu.

There were questions, questions, complaints, and blame.

Just a look contained all of Yingying's emotions towards Han Xu. Although the two had not met for a long time, Han Xu still saw Yingying's resentment from her stunning glance.

The four courtesans each have their own characteristics.

Qing'er is cold and arrogant. Except for Han Xu, she doesn't say a word to anyone.

Nichang is charming, and every frown and smile, every move can provoke a man's bottom line.

Yiyi is gentle, like water, and can melt refined steel.

And Yingying is noble. Although she was born in a place of love, she has an incomparably noble temperament. In comparison, even the pearls in the palms of many princes and nobles are not as good as her.

In terms of temperament, Yingying is like a queen, a queen that everyone pays attention to.

Wherever she goes, there is always a strong aura that attracts everyone's attention.

As her footsteps move and her eyes turn, before the song ends, Yingying has already attracted everyone's attention.

Han Xu secretly observed Emperor Wu, and saw that although he looked very seriously, there was only pure appreciation in his eyes, without any more meaning.

"I don't know what kind of means my sister used on Emperor Wu." Han Xu sighed in his heart and stopped thinking about it.

Because he couldn't think about it carefully anymore.

Han Xu could always feel Yingying's eyes.

Every time she turned around, every time she looked back, Yingying would look at Han Xu.

There were too many meanings in her eyes, which made Han Xu feel like sitting on pins and needles.

If it was just questioning or blaming, Han Xu could understand it.

The fact that he redeemed Qing'er and the other two had long been a hot topic, especially the incident of Bai Yiyi, which caused a lot of shock.

But Han Xu didn't redeem Yingying, and he hadn't even gone to Yanchun Pavilion to find her for a long time.

Now many people outside are saying that Han Xu has forgotten Yingying, so Yingying has complaints against him, which Han Xu can understand.

However, in addition to those understandable emotions in Yingying's eyes, there is also an inexplicable feeling.

Like a reminder, and like a warning.

Han Xu looked at the beautiful figure and murmured: "What do you want to say?"

Yingying danced three dances in a row. Except for the first dance, the other two dances were performed by her alone, and the young men were all staring.

Everyone knows that the four courtesans only favor Han Xu. Except for Nichang who occasionally dances, the other three have never danced in public. Seeing Yingying dancing today, many more resentful eyes fell on Han Xu for no reason.

Everyone really can't figure it out, why good cabbage is always taken by pigs?

"Father, this is the courtesan of Yanchun Pavilion, Miss Yingying." After the dance, Yingying stood below with her head down, and the prince introduced her to Emperor Wu, "She and the three women behind Han Xu are known as the four courtesans of the royal city."

"However, except for Miss Yingying, the other three were redeemed by Han Xu."

"You danced well, reward!" Emperor Wu praised casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yingying bowed slightly to thank him. Even in front of the current emperor, her performance was generous, which made Han Xu secretly praise her.

"Your Majesty, it is rare for the four courtesans of the royal city to gather together today. Why don't you let the other three step down? Wouldn't it be better for the four of them to perform on the same stage?" At this time, an official below came out and said. Judging from his position, he should be from the Ministry of Personnel.

Bai Yiyi sent a voice message to Han Xu and said, "The prince's people."

For today, Bai Yiyi investigated and familiarized herself with all the officials above the third rank in advance. She knew which prince was on the side of more than 90% of the people present.

Han Xu glanced at the prince on the other side, his eyes slightly cold.

At this time, everyone looked at Han Xu, especially those young men, their eyes were already teasing, as if they were mocking Han Xu, even if you redeem them, so what, you still have to show them to please everyone.

Especially in this occasion, with officials above the third rank gathered, several princes looking forward to it, and His Majesty the Emperor Wu sitting in the hall, even if you want to refuse, it is impossible.

Qing'er and the other two also knew the difficulty of it and were prepared. They had been through thousands of trials and tribulations, and a dance to please men was simply a piece of cake.

However, everyone overlooked one problem, that is, Han Xu has never been a person who makes others happy. He only cares about the thoughts and feelings of himself and the people he cares about.

So, Han Xu stood up and said without hesitation before anyone else spoke: "No!"

"The three of them are already my maids."

Everyone obviously did not expect that Han Xu would refuse so straightforwardly.

The official who spoke earlier glanced at the prince inadvertently, and when he saw the latter nod slightly, he stood up and said to Han Xu: "Why is Mr. Han so stingy? It's rare for the four courtesans to gather together. Does Mr. Han want to spoil everyone's fun?"

"Spoil the fun?" Han Xu sneered, "What does your interest have to do with me."

"Mr. Han, you are wrong!" Another person stood up and said, "Could it be that in Mr. Han's eyes, we are not as good as three girls?"

"That's right, it's just a dance, why is Mr. Han so stubborn?"

"Master, let us go." Seeing that one minister after another stood up to accuse Han Xu, Bai Yiyi couldn't help but whispered.

But Han Xu said to her: "Have you forgotten what I said, you are my maids, except for this young master, no one can order you, bully you, or look down on you."

Han Xu's words were also heard by Qing'er and Nishang at the same time. They used to think that Han Xu was just talking, but they didn't expect him to be serious.

The three of them were touched at the same time. In their lives, when have they ever been treated so seriously by others?

Others treated them well just because they were attracted by their beauty, but Han Xu really treated them as human beings and protected their dignity very strongly.

"I'll say it again, they are my people, not tools to please you."

"You're right, that person just now. In my eyes, you are indeed not as good as them."
