Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 30 The Oiran
Luo Ying originally wanted to provoke Ruan Mianmian, but she was not angry at all, nor did she respond.With some doubts in his heart, he retreated from Ruan Mianmian's arms and sat down on the chair next to him.

"The duty of the secret door is to weed out the strong and help the weak. Luo Ying, the crown prince is not as simple as it appears on the surface." Ruan Mianmian said calmly after pouring a cup of tea for the two of them.

Luo Ying still smiled charmingly, with some doubts on her fair and flawless face: "Luo Ying doesn't know what the young master is talking about."

"Fang Qingyang, the son of Grand Tutor Fang Ji, was abolished. You should know. You also know who made the move. The official Fang Ji worshiped the Grand Tutor, and the Fang family had two empresses. Although Emperor Fengzhao holds great power, the princes have gradually grown up. grow up."

Luo Ying blinked her eyes, with a hint of doubt in her charm, she bit her bright red lips, and looked at Ruan Mianmian with a small smile: "Tianzihao told you."

After finishing speaking, Luo Ying delicately picked up the teacup in front of her, her bright red lips touched the white jade porcelain cup, tasting it lightly.

The man's sleep talk came from inside, whispering something in a low voice.Turned over slightly, and continued to fall asleep naively.

Pretending to hear nothing, Ruan Mianmian looked at Luo Ying and said: "The four brothels in Jingling City, the Yueyue Pavilion, Zilin Tower, Linglong Pavilion, and Shuxiangfang, Linglong Pavilion ranks third. In the past one or two years, Linglong Pavilion The pavilion suddenly stands out and becomes the largest brothel in Jingling City, although Fang Qingyang has a lustful nature, he may not be a bartender."

Seeing Ruan Mianmian's serious expression, Luo Ying froze the smile on her face, and suddenly looked at her with a lot of respect: "This subordinate has no intention of participating in the royal family's battle for succession."

"But you want to enter the palace."

Ruan Mianmian uttered the thoughts in her heart, and Luo Ying frowned in surprise.It took a long time before he said in a low voice: "Yes."

Ruan Mianmian looked at her for a while, then asked leisurely, "A private matter?"

Luo Ying nodded, with a determined look on her charming face: "Master, I must enter the palace."

"I didn't say that you are not allowed to enter the palace." Seeing Luo Ying looking at her with begging eyes, Ruan Mianmian frowned and said, "Do you know how old Emperor Feng Zhao is? Also, do you know that the struggle in the harem is more terrifying than the world."

Hearing Ruan Mianmian's words, Luo Ying's eyes instantly recovered: "Luo Ying knows, but Luo Ying will not change her mind."

Ruan Mianmian did not ask Luo Ying why she entered the palace, everyone has their own secrets.But there is one thing, she said clearly: "Your status is special, the emperor ordered the crown prince to thoroughly investigate the killing of Master Zhu this time."

Luo Ying suddenly knelt down: "Master!"

Ruan Mianmian knew Luo Ying would do this ever since she heard Luo Ying said that she was going to enter the palace.Getting out of the secret door is the best way, but over the years, every member of the secret door has gone through life and death for the secret door.

The strength of the secret door is inseparable from them. If they have to leave the secret door because they are involved in the secret door, how many people are willing to pay for such a secret door?

Ruan Mianmian didn't help Luo Ying who was on the ground, she was still sitting at the table, her expression became much colder: "Luo Ying, the secret door is our home."

After speaking, without looking at Luo Ying again, Ruan Mianmian got up and left.

There was no sound, only Luo Ying was left kneeling on the ground in the living room.The charming and delicate makeup was slightly removed, and there was a moving expression on that face.

One hair can affect the whole body, if she is careless in the palace, the whole secret door will be destroyed.She had long thought about leaving the secret door, and even spared no effort to cultivate a new mysterious name in the door.

The things she had insisted on collapsed suddenly because of Ruan Mianmian's words.

The man in the bedroom seemed to turn over slightly again, Luo Ying quickly stood up from the ground, and walked into the bedroom.Seeing that the man's cheeks were flushed and he was in a daze, half asleep, half awake, he was slightly relieved.

Suddenly, she felt paranoid again, the drug she had developed by herself was in the wine.In this world, except for her, no one can understand it.

From the bottom of my heart, I naturally understood why I was so vigilant. If it wasn't Ruan Mianmian who came, why would she be like this?
The words of the master when he was about to die were circling in her mind all the time. In this life, their lives were all from the secret door, all from the secret door.

He drank blood wine and made a poisonous oath.In this life, if they betray the secret door and Qingyin, their bones will be gone.

Putting aside the thoughts in her head, thinking that Qingyin agreed to let them enter the palace, she was already looking forward to it.

Lifting the gauze curtain and looking at the man on the bed, Luo Ying turned and left.

Time is like flowing water, passing by the branches, with a faint fragrance of lotus, finally ushered in the Oiran Competition held every three years by the Fengtian Dynasty.

The sun is scorching hot in midsummer, but it can't resist people's mood when they see the beauty.

The banks of the Qianjiang River have already been crowded with people. According to the practice of previous years, this time the oiran competition will still be held on the Qianjiang River.

At sunrise, the flowers on the river are more red than the fire, and the summer is scorching hot. The painting boats of the four major brothels in Jingling City have already parked on both sides of the Qianjiang River.In the Oiran Competition held every three years, many talents and beauties gather.

Ruan Mianmian was dressed in men's clothing and sat on the Qianxue Building not far from Qianjiang River. If she hadn't already arranged a seat, she would hardly have a foothold at the moment.

I'm not very interested in the Oiran Contest, I just came here to meet more people.Also for the sake of coming to see Luo Ying.Since Luo Ying made up her mind to enter the palace, she is the oiran today.

In just three months, Linglong Pavilion's business doubled.Ruan Mianmian wasn't worried about the game at all, she sat in the crowd, looking at the VIP seats in the nearby restaurant with nonchalant eyes.

Everyone can participate in the Oiran Contest, and everyone can watch it.And how could the royal family and nobles in the palace miss the beauty?

Looking from a distance, several princes are already on the line.Relying on the names that she didn't need to tell him, Ruan Mianmian seated the men opposite one by one.

After a brief sweep, his eyes swept over Feng Changxi who was next to Feng Jiuyou.Seemingly noticing her gaze, Feng Changxi cast a glance at her while the crowd was clamoring.

There was a mockery in his eyes, and there was a half-smile on his lips.

Ruan Mianmian lowered her head and drank tea as if she hadn't seen anything.With the sound of gongs and drums, the contestants began to file in and slowly appeared on the high platform on the south bank of the Qianjiang River.

"Lian'er, I'll leave for a while, you wait for me here. Or, if you feel bored, go back first."

Lian'er was happy to see it, she sneaked in to answer, her eyes were fixed on the beauties on the boat.The mothers from the four brothels came out at this moment, and they were introducing the list of today's contestants one by one.

Luo Ying is dressing in Huafang's boudoir, facing the mirror with yellow flowers, she is more delicate than flowers, and Ruan Mianmian in men's clothes quietly appears in her room.

Seeing Ruan Mianmian, a trace of surprise flashed across Luo Ying's eyes, and she quickly took her hand in disbelief and asked, "Are you here to play the piano for me?"

Ruan Mianmian nodded, since Luo Ying was determined to enter the palace, she would naturally help her.She has not played the piano for a long time, and her fingers are very rusty.

Luo Ying led her to sit down in front of the guzheng in the next room, and said happily: "Although I have done enough homework in the past three months, the matter of playing the piano..."

"That's why I'm here." Taking a look at Luo Ying's fingers, if you look carefully, you will find that the index finger and ring finger of her left hand can hardly use any force.

Naturally, this kind of competition cannot do without piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Luo Ying had injured two fingers when she was a child in order to make drugs for many years, and it was almost useless.

She is not worried about the other three things, but for Qin, she is afraid that she has more than enough understanding but not enough energy.

Everyone in Jingling City knows that Luoying girls in Linglong Pavilion are all charming and charming, and they are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.No one knew that she couldn't play the piano.And the piano sound that people occasionally heard was also secretly arranged by Luo Ying.

The sound of laughter from the crowd could already be heard outside, the silk and bamboo orchestras were heard one after another, and there were thunderous applause and shouts from time to time, just to see their faces.

There is a characteristic of the oiran competition. Only when the last two compete for the oiran can the contestants show themselves.

Ruan Mianmian looked at Luo Ying, she didn't intend to play the piano for Luo Ying, but when she saw the look in Feng Changxi's eyes upstairs in Qian Xuelou, she suddenly understood.

This time the oiran contest was unusual, and the people in the palace paid close attention to it.There is nothing wrong with the princes coming to watch the game, but they will not be so fanfare.

Moreover, he sat on the referee's seat.

This can only show that Emperor Fengzhao intends to bring this oiran back to the palace, but as the king of a country, it is not easy for him to show up.

Glancing at Luo Ying, Ruan Mianmian said, "But you know, if I help you, you will never be able to play the piano again in this life. You can't even touch it."

She remembered that Luo Ying liked to play the piano.At that time, when the master taught her how to practice the piano, Luo Ying would stand by and watch, and it lasted all afternoon.

A trace of desolation flashed across Luo Ying's eyes, and suddenly she quickly raised a charming smile: "My hands are covered with blood. A long time ago, I was no longer suitable for playing the piano."

On the VIP platform, the crown prince Fengjun Xifeng was handsome and gentle as jade.A pair of eyes are as black as ink, and there is a warm smile on the corner of the lips, with an elegant expression, like a bright moon on a high mountain.

Third Highness, Feng Zixu's eyes were picturesque, and his handsome face had a smile as bright as a spring flower in March.There is a trace of elegance in the gentleness, like the flowers of autumn water.

His Highness the Fifth Highness, Feng Chengao, is the ever-victorious general of the Fengtian Dynasty. At the young age of twenty, he already holds an army of one million.Indifferent and arrogant, relying on talent and pride.A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and two eyebrows were like paint.I have a soft spot for fighting.The slightly inwardly curved eyebrows and eyes are slightly gloomy, which makes people shudder.

His Highness Nine, Feng Jiuyou, shows off his evil charms and is unrestrained.The facial features are exquisite and beautiful, which can no longer be described in words.A head of long hair like smoke and ink was crowned with a piece of purple jade, under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows was a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, slightly raised eyebrows, there are thousands of styles, people will fall into it if they are not careful.

And the prince of Nanjun, as rumored, seemed like a god-man, like a flying fairy.Eyebrows are like distant mountains, eyebrows are black, lips are like peach blossoms in March.He was handsome, but he didn't feel feminine at all.The eyes looking at everyone are like blue sky and white clouds, high mountains and flowing water.

On the huge stage made up of painted boats, there are Qingling singing and dancing around Yuege Pavilion, and the dancers are alluring.Lips are like Zhu Dan, and they are as beautiful as peaches and plums.The skin is as white as jade, like creamy fat, like pearls and jade.

The waist and limbs seemed to be boneless, and when they looked back and smiled, even with a veil, everyone felt so charming and lost their souls.If it was at night, accompanied by bursts of extravagant music, many people would be like wolves and tigers at this moment.

"The last one, Linglong Pavilion Luo Ying."

The fingertips fall on the strings, gently scratch down, and the notes flow out from the fingertips.Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, it is astonishing.It's like something is gently plucking at the heartstrings, I don't want to hear it, but I can't bear to let go.Suddenly, the emotional crowd was brought into a world with thousands of miles of galaxies and endless sky.

The quiet time is like spring flowers and autumn moon, and the reflection of the ancient pool is unfathomable.When it moves, it is like mountains and flowing water, full of melodiousness, touching the heartstrings.Because of the sound of this zither, the hot summer seems to have come to the world where the grass grows and the warblers fly.
