Strange Tale of Qingluan

Within Guangling State, Dongzhou.At this time, the sun is shining brightly, and the neighborhood is full of traffic.

It is thousands of miles away from Wangcheng Feicang to Dongzhou. The people don't know that there is no king in the palace, but the king is already in Dongzhou.A handsome young man with a length of more than seven feet in a silk silk robe, a silver hair crown on his head, high manned sandals on his feet, a long sword hanging around his waist, and a folding fan in one hand, walked slowly on the street, followed closely behind him. One old and one young.

The old man has white hair and a gray beard, but his body is still strong and his steps are steady. He is really a courtier, and the young man with a sword beside the old man is also a guard in the palace.After walking for a while on this street, the young man with the saber couldn't help opening his lips: "Master has been out for a visit for almost a month, but it seems that he doesn't plan to go back. What should we do..."

The old man Yu Guangpu shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Everyone has forced marriages. I feel sorry for him when I am old. I only hope that his grandma can feel good about him too..."

Everyone knows the truth, so the young man with the saber pursed his lips and didn't say much.

Suddenly there was a familiar urging voice from the front: "You guys are too slow! Are you tired or hungry?"

Hearing Liu Yinghe's voice, the old and the young had no choice but to gather their spirits, and while quickly following, Yu Guangpu responded: "Here we come! We come!"

Seeing that the attendants had all caught up, Liu Yinghe turned her head with confidence and faced the front. Before she started, she caught a glimpse of a palace-like building standing in front of her right. Standing in front of him, he held up the other hand holding the folding fan, and gently supported his chin with the top of the folding fan, thinking about it.

Yu Guangpu saw that he was fascinated by the building, so he opened his lips with a smile and said, "What's wrong, young master?"

Liu Yinghe pointed at the building with the tip of her fan, and said strangely: "I wonder what kind of gathering there is, or a restaurant? It seems quite famous, so many people come and go."

Yu Guangpu didn't have presbyopia yet, he could tell it was He Louyu just by looking at it from a distance, his face was full of embarrassment, while the young man with the saber was blushing, the two didn't dare to speak face to face, they just got together and whispered.

"Master doesn't even know what Qinglou is..."

"I'm old, I really don't know how to tell him about Changji."

"Then what should we do now?"

"I'm afraid it can't be stopped, and deliberately leading him to another place will arouse suspicion..."

"That is to say..."

Before Yu Guangpu could answer, another loud voice answered instead of him: "That is to say, I'm going to take a walk there and have a look!"

Whispering was discovered and heard, and the two dared not continue to whisper.The young man with the saber tried to persuade him: "Master, there are more interesting places in Dongzhou. A place with a lot of people may not be a good place."

Liu Yinghe asked bluntly: "What do you mean by Qinglou?"

Both of them coughed lightly at the same time, only the young man with the saber had an idea and pretended to be stupid and said: "I don't read much, so I don't know what is so light."

Liu Yinghe was not stupid at all, she lightly hit him on the forehead with the top of her fan, and said solemnly: "Don't lie to me." Then she simply announced, "If you are hiding one or two, then I will go and see for myself. Look!"

Seeing that they couldn't stop him, the two had no choice but to keep up, discussing countermeasures in low voices as they walked.

"The light building is full of goblins who can ecstasy, and we must prevent them from jumping on the master and giving him ecstasy."

"Just do as you said, you will block the goblin, and the old man will block the wine."

Liu Yinghe walked to the front of the building, looked up at the door plate, and couldn't help but read softly: "Xiangdong Pavilion..."

A woman turned her head and saw that he was well dressed, and guessed that he was from a rich family, so she approached with a coquettish smile, and said softly, "Young master, I haven't seen him before, why don't you come in with my slave?"

Liu Yinghe took a look at the woman, felt that her dress was really good-looking, she couldn't help looking forward to it, and saw the Yingying and Yanyan in the building, so she wanted to go in and have a look, and she readily responded with a 'hmm'.Seeing this, Yu Guangpu and the young man with the sword behind him met each other's eyes, hurriedly followed, and deliberately stuck to the left and right sides of Liu Yinghe, so as not to let the Qinglou girl touch them.

Luo Ying is the old bustard of Xiangdong Pavilion, and she knew Liu Yinghe's identity when she saw him, so she stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "It's really a rare visitor. What kind of girl does this young master want to accompany?"

Liu Yinghe glanced at the women passing by, turned the handle of her fan, and after thinking for a while, she only asked: "I don't drink, so I can just look at the beauties here?"

Luo Ying replied with a smile: "Xiangdong Pavilion is full of beauties, if you want to see a girl, you have to roll your name."

Liu Yinghe was in a dilemma: "This, what should I order..."

In order to save time and let Liu Yinghe leave here as soon as possible, Yu Guangpu coughed lightly and reminded: "Every light building has an oiran. The oiran is the head of thousands of flowers and the head of beauties."

After hearing this, Liu Yinghe immediately patted the top of the folding fan on her palm, and decided: "Then the oiran."

At this time, suddenly a qin sound came from the hall, it was very pleasant, but the tune was quiet and a little sad, Liu Yinghe stopped here, turned around and walked into the hall following the sound of the qin, Yu Guangpu and Seeing this, the young man with the saber quickly followed.

In front of the singing stage in the lobby, Liu Yinghe managed to squeeze through the crowd and came to the front, but saw a woman covered with a gold-rimmed frost-white gauze sitting on the singing stage, and it was this woman who was playing the piano.

A man's praise came from beside him: "As expected of an oiran! You are truly unparalleled in art!"

Liu Yinghe asked curiously: "Is she really a peerless beauty?"

The man responded embarrassingly: "I... I have never seen her real face, and I have to pay ten taels of silver to meet her!"

Liu Yinghe looked at the oiran playing the piano again, she was obviously not interested, but she couldn't move her foot.

Luo Ying slowly walked onto the singing stage, and announced in person: "Guest officers! Luo Niang is very polite. Before sunset, whoever pays more than 30 taels of gift money, which is higher than others, will be able to spend three days with the oiran." Night! This is the only chance."

The sound of the zither didn't stop, and the zither player seemed to think that Luo Ying didn't exist, raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd in front of him, and continued to play the zither with his eyes lowered.With just these eyes, Liu Yinghe became interested at the moment. After many men tried their best to compare the prices for three sticks of incense, she opened her lips and shouted, "I'll pay 60 taels!"

As soon as this sound fell, the whole audience fell silent, only one after another of resentful eyes fell on him.

Luo Ying covered her mouth with her cuffs and smiled, and then announced: "Luo Niang has decided that the son who pays 60 taels will win. I also invite this son to accompany Luo Niang to the checkout counter."

The oiran stopped playing the piano, stood up and left. When she went up the stairs, she only glanced back at Liu Yinghe, and then went straight back to the boudoir, as if neither happy nor angry.

When Liu Yinghe handed all the six Jiaozi cards to Luo Ying, and got the red flower escort card engraved with the word "stay with me", she left Xiangdong Pavilion and went to the inn to retrieve the baggage.Yu Guangpu and the young man with the saber followed, his face full of distress, and he sighed hundreds of times along the way.

Seeing that Liu Yinghe was carrying a burden and was about to leave the inn, Yu Guangpu suddenly knelt down and begged, "My lord, I don't want you to do something wrong among the people..."

Liu Yinghe put her burden on her shoulders, turned her head and replied chicly: "No. A girl with unparalleled skills in Qinglou is better than an official girl who pretends to be powerful, isn't she? Teacher, wait here for my return." strode away.

In the evening, the oiran had already changed and dressed, and was escorted back to the boudoir by two maidservants. Liu Yinghe had also bathed and changed elsewhere, and was walking around in the room, when suddenly the door opened, and three figures approached, the red gauze curtain Being lifted up, the oiran walked into the room, and slowly sat down at the table, slowly taking off the veil.

Liu Yinghe turned her head, looked at her face, opened her lips and said with a smile: "They said that you are unparalleled in art. Looking at it now, you are indeed a stunning beauty! Much more beautiful than the palace... much more beautiful than my maid!"

The oiran smiled faintly, and said: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your appreciation, but Yin Yin has always been a performer, so I don't accept Mai Shen."

Liu Yinghe couldn't help talking to herself: "It turns out that all the women here are engaged in this kind of business, no wonder they are all beautiful..." He hurriedly asked, "Why did you come here and do such a business that ruins yourself?"

Hua Kui said helplessly: "If it wasn't for being sold here to pay off the debt, who would want to demean himself like this..."

Liu Yinghe was slightly stunned, and slowly stepped forward: "Who is so cruel and so ignorant of compassion?!"

The oiran told: "I was originally the daughter of a ship merchant in the Wushuang Kingdom. I was sold here only because I was framed, my family business was destroyed for generations, and I was framed for debts of tens of millions of taels..."

Liu Yinghe thought for a while, then sat down slowly across the table, and said flatly, "How much is your ransom? I can redeem your body and set you free!"

The oiran still smiled lightly, and only asked: "Why does Mr. Liu think he can redeem me?" Then he told, "Only the Holy Majesty can afford my ransom."

Liu Yinghe sighed: "Unfortunately, I can't go back for the time being..."

Hua Kui persuaded: "Young Master Liu, let's go. This is not the place you should come to. If you redeem yourself for me, you will be a sheep into a tiger's mouth."

Liu Yinghe was puzzled: "Why did the sheep enter the tiger's mouth?"

The oiran said: "The reason why I can keep my innocent body alive is because I am a bait. Xiangdong Pavilion's plan is to use me to lure the Lord of Guangling. If the Lord of Guangling redeems me for me and accepts me as a concubine, I will have to marry you." To steal imperial secrets for Xiangdong Pavilion, Xiangdong Pavilion can also protect me from power struggles in the palace."

When Liu Yinghe heard this, she couldn't help being taken aback: "You mean, Xun Huan is not the only one here? But how do they know who is the King of Guangling?"

Hua Kui looked at him, and replied: "Mom has long had portraits of the kings of various countries in her hands. Ever since you stepped into the Xiangdong Pavilion, Mr. Liu, your mother has already seen through your identities..."

Liu Yinghe immediately stood up involuntarily, stared at Hua Kui Chu Yinyin in surprise, calmed down for a moment, and said, "Why did you tell me such an important thing? Don't you want to take this opportunity to leave Qinglou?"

The oiran replied lightly: "I have a miserable life experience, so I shouldn't help the evildoers."

Liu Yinghe unexpectedly listened to these words, stretched out her right hand, and lightly pinched the oiran's slender Xiapa with two fingers, bent slightly to get closer, looked at it, and opened her lips again: "I have decided, I still want to Redeem for you."

The oiran was puzzled: "But this is clearly a trap...!"

Liu Yinghe interrupted her: "I would rather take you back to the palace than accept an arranged marriage and marry someone I hate. I also believe that in this scheme, you are innocent and should not murder you." I."

The oiran opened her lips: "I...I..." But she was at a loss for words.

Liu Yinghe said: "Actually, like you, I also have a miserable life experience. Maybe you and I can become confidants."

How can it be? !How could it be possible for the head of a country to have a miserable life experience like me...? ——Oiran couldn't help thinking secretly.

Seeing her unbelievable eyes, Liu Yinghe smiled: "I have always thought that as a woman, it is so beautiful to be able to dress up beautifully and delicately, so I yearn for it. This is also the reason why I fall in love with women. Maybe... you are The first person in this world who only knows my secret."

Before the oiran could react, Liu Yinghe had already put down her hair crown and clothes, scattered her blue silk, and looked back at her.The heroic eyes and heroic expression are the woman's delicate husband, and the same crisp Ruan Gaolong murderous mouth as the woman.

Seeing this, Hua Kui slightly covered her mouth, her eyes turned pale with shock, and she was speechless.

Liu Yinghe walked towards her slowly, stretched out her right hand, and opened her lips: "If you can accept me like this, I will take you out of here, and you will be my queen from now on. How about it?"

Hua Kui raised her head slightly, looked at Liu Yinghe's face, and said, "Can I...listen to your story?"

Liu Yinghe lightly removed the strands of hair on her forehead, and replied: "I will tell you slowly on the way back to the palace after I redeem your body for you. How is it, your answer?"

Thinking about it, it wasn't a bad thing, so Hua Kui nodded and agreed with a soft 'hmm'.

The clothes of the two men were all shed, and they sat quietly in the dim light. They sat on the bedding with their bright jade bodies until the lights went out, and the sound of joy and pride stopped.Only when the morning of the next day came, Liu Yinghe left a meeting letter with the seal of Chi Zhuxi, and took the oiran Chu Yinyin to leave the Xiangdong Pavilion. From then on, the oiran of Xiangdong was no longer Chu Yinyin.
