After the Top Courtesan competition, business at Fengyue Pavilion boomed. For a time, Hongniang was raking in so much money her hands went numb. Having secured a cash cow like Liu Lvyao, she was literally making a fortune every single day! There was no way she would ever let her star attraction leave, and Liu Lvyao herself had no desire to go to the Jing Prince's Estate. However, Prince Jing’s men kept coming to the pavilion day after day to extend invitations. After collecting enough silver, Hongniang had no choice but to let her go and fulfill the request.
The weather was beautiful that day. Prince Jing sent an invitation for Liu Lvyao to join him on a pleasure boat, and early in the morning, he sent servants with a sedan chair to wait in the back courtyard.
"It seems there is no avoiding this," Liu Lvyao said to Xiaocui. "But if I enter the Jing Prince's Estate, what will happen to our Xiao Sixi? I was the one who brought her into Fengyue Pavilion; it is unlikely I could take her with me to the estate."
