She was to perform Peking Opera naked for the Zhongshan nobles until she earned 1000 silver taels for the tower.

Madam Feng sneered: "Ah, but your name is already the talk of the town, Princess. The crowd is looking forward to a performance."

Mei Ling gasped at the sight before her - a very close performance location, arranged in the middle of where the Zhongshan nobles were sitting. At this place, 6 scantily clad girls pulled up a wooden sign with large, barely dry ink inscriptions: "Naked Peking Opera Performed by the Princess of Zhou - A Spectacular Scene!"

She saw many Zhongshan nobles staring at her with a mixture of interest, curiosity, and desire.

She covered her naked body and cried: "No, anything but this! You can't make me perform here! I don't agree to this... I've been tricked..."

The butler there spoke with a voice like he was carrying a whip

"Your words are contrary to what's on the contract paper...Don't even think about running away. Otherwise, the guards of 玉女樓 will..."

Madam Feng glared at the butler who pretended to protect Mei Ling in a fake way: "You're just a butler, how dare you say such rude words to a princess..."

Madam Feng smiled and quickly slid her hand over Mei Ling's shoulder in sympathy: "Don't worry. We've all been through it. It's just a performance."

Feng's finger lightly touched Mei Ling's areola for a second making her shiver in disgust. Madam Feng muttered as he looked at the princess with a calculating gaze. _"These two round, fresh, naked breasts shaking before the eyes of the corrupted nobles of Zhongshan will please them very much. _The very beautiful princess is a real gem, a rare gem that will bring me a fortune."

Madam Feng pretended to be pitiful and at the same time gave a twisted reason to convince Mei Ling:

"Princess Zhou, it was all because of those deceitful Yan soldiers. We were also deceived by them, so we advertised your "performance"! It was a sold-out performance! But we cannot stop this. If the performance is canceled, those powerful nobles will lose interest and become angry and send soldiers to pull down this building. At that time, you will still be captured by them to perform for an unknown period of time.

As advertised, once your series of performances collects 1000 taels of silver, you can continue your journey. And it will only take a few days. It is the play "Princess Zhou's Naked Peking Opera". The nobles will pay handsomely to see such a royal spectacle. I guarantee it. So the princess will only need to stay a few days."

Mei Ling did not know how long Feng meant by "a few days", but she accepted it seriously: "I understand".
