Xie Anran sat down and looked around, "By the way, what about the Lord Father Yan?" It's so lively today, and he has to draw this scene. ”

"He is obsessed with painting the picture of a lady in "The Stone", and he can't extricate himself..."

A girl said.

"Let him come too, today's Oiran Conference, so many ladies and girls in this hall! Let him come here and draw a hundred beautiful pictures on the spot, how nice! ”

Xie Anran said.

Immediately, a girl went to ask the master Flame to come and paint the scene of the Oiran Meeting.

"Master Pony, I don't know what's going on?"

When the master heard that the master of the horse was invited, he immediately rushed over happily and greeted Xiao Duhou, Xie Ma and others.

Xie Anran asked him to draw a picture of the "Qinhuai Hundred Beauties" of the Oiran Gala on the spot.

The master father Yan was naturally disrespectful, and directly drew a hundred beautiful pictures of Qin Huai's painting in the hall, and his face was extremely enjoyable.

This princely joy is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

The master father Yan found that he couldn't get along with those Confucian students in Jinling City, but these dogs and horses were happy.

No one here would discriminate against him for not being a Confucian scholar and having a wide range of knowledge...... Or in other words, no one here cares about these at all, and they don't care too much about him as a person.

They like all kinds of strange things the most, and they can talk together when they appreciate the pictures of ladies he paints.

Master Father Yan naturally felt more comfortable, and he didn't need to care about his lowly status.

It was just past noon, and it was still early before the Oiran Conference, but thousands of VIPs had already come to the smoke and rain painting boat, and it was already very lively.

Different from the bustle in the hall on the first floor of the painting boat, the cold armor with swords can be seen everywhere in the corridor on the third floor, but it is surprisingly quiet.

The third floor of the Smoke and Rain Painting Boat is surprisingly quiet, and no one walks around the corridor.

Even the box on the third floor is half-hidden and not fully opened.

On the corridor and aisle, there are guards in armor who stand in twos and threes, without any signs on their clothes, who seem to be idle people, but they guard all the entrances and exits on the third floor.

Miscellaneous people wait, can't go up.

Even the bustards and girls in the Yanyu Painting Boat couldn't go up, only knowing that it was the Ping Wangfu, and the third floor had already been rounded.

In a private room on the third floor of the painting boat.

Emperor Xiang Yanran sat on the main seat, not wearing a dragon robe and crown, just an ordinary plain clothes, tasting fine wine.

Empress Cui Rou and Concubine Yang Yan sat on both sides quite uncomfortably. In this land of fireworks, the two main palace ladies are uncomfortable.

Cai and the great eunuch stood respectfully on the side.

The rest of the three dukes, Prime Minister Xie Huyong, Deputy Prime Minister Wang Su, Taiwei Li Rong, and Imperial Historian Kong Hanyou.

As well as Jiuqing, Yang Chu, the great farmer, Zheng Jingrong, Tingwei, etc., more than a dozen civil and military ministers, all dressed in civilian clothes, sat with them at the next head.

They sat solemnly one by one, with solemn faces and a solemn atmosphere.

It's not that the ministers don't come to this place of Qinhuai Qinglou, but they just come with the emperor, and it's inevitable... It's a little embarrassing.

The armor of the Pingwang Mansion and the Tingwei Mansion, as many as hundreds of people, were deployed on the third floor.

This time, the emperor did not say hello in advance, and asked to go out on patrol in plain clothes, and took them, the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court, to come to Yanyulou to have fun with the people and watch the Oiran Conference, except for the important ministers present, did not alarm any outsiders.

"Lantern Festival, when you have fun with the people! Since I ascended the throne, I have said every year that I want to have fun with the people, but I have always been unable to spare time. Today, no matter what, I want to have fun and have a good Lantern Festival!

I heard that this Qinhuai Oiran Festival is the first grand scene of the Lantern Festival, and it has a huge impact. I've been longing for a long time! ”

Xiang Yanran smiled.

"That's exactly how it should be!"

"Your Majesty has been diligent for more than ten years, and this Lantern Festival is celebrated by the whole country, so you should also relax."

The ministers nodded and replied with a smile.

They knew that Emperor Xiang Yanran had never been very interested in the land of Qinhuai fireworks.

It's just that today, the emperor suddenly became interested and asked plainclothes to come to see this Oiran festival in the smoke and rain, and they didn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do.

However, more than a dozen princes and kings also made an exception and were allowed to enter Jinling Castle to have fun with the people, and I heard that they would also come together to see the Oiran Festival.

The emperor has not seen these Xiang princes scattered in the counties of Great Chu for many years, and he is afraid that he will come to see them, the Xiang princes and kings... bar.

The ministers were all on their minds.

One after another, there were many distinguished guests in the smoke and rain painting boat, and they entered the hall.

...

I don't know when.

The hall on the first floor was bustling with gentlemen, and I don't know who picked a head, and suddenly quarreled.

"Shen Wanbao, your Shen family has nothing but silver, and you are a promiscuity in the four great gentlemen of Jinling!

Even Qinhuai Oiran has to be chosen once a year. I think that our Jinling gentlemen should also be lined up again every year! Those who are indiscriminate should go down. What do you think? ”

Yang Sui of the Yang family was very unconvinced and asked to rearrange the positions of the gentlemen in Jinling City.

"Yes!"

"They have been in Jinling's four great gentlemen for many years, and it is time for the corpses to abdicate and make way for the virtuous!"

"Feng Shui takes turns, come to my house today!"

"We strongly support it!"

Dozens of young gentlemen were suddenly happy and coaxed.

"Hey~, Yang Sui, you want to challenge me?! In addition to the silver, my Shen family also has the support of the Queen Mother! Can you compare? ”

Shen Wanbao said angrily.

"Hmph, your Shen family is a relative, the Cui family is also a relative, and my Yang family is also a relative! Cui and Yang, the money is not as much as yours, but we are still the gate valve!

The three major families are all relatives, why have you Shen Wanbao always been the third gentleman in Jinling? This third gentleman, this year it should be my Yang family's turn to sit, and next year it will be the turn of the Cui family to sit!

Everyone occupies the top four positions with their own abilities, and they can't just rely on their background. Prince, do you think that's the truth? ”

Yang Sui disagreed.

"Yang Sui, Lao Tzu is not easy to mess with! If you want to compete for my position, you have to have this ability. ”

Shen Wanbao glared angrily, eager to fight him.

"You fight for yours, draw a line to fight, this third place, whoever wins, will be whom. You Shen and Yang families are fighting by themselves, don't involve this prince! ”

Prince Xiang Tiange didn't want to jump into this fire pit.

The two families have the support of Yang Guifei and Empress Dowager Shen, and he doesn't want to mess with them.

However, he has long been very dissatisfied with the ranking of the four major gentlemen in Jinling.

Xiang Tiange was more ambitious than Yang Sui, looked at Xiao Duhou, and raised his voice: "This prince is only interested in this famous man. This year, the crown prince has reached adulthood and should become the first gentleman in Jinling City. Do you have any opinions?! ”

"No opinion!"

"We strongly support the crown prince and ascend the throne as the number one prince in Jinling City!"

"Little Dusk Marquis, it's long overdue to abdicate and make way for Xian."

The little gentlemen patted their asses and encouraged them vigorously.

Xie Juma and Shen Wanbao, these two experienced in a hundred battles, but they were surprisingly silent about Xiao Duhou's repeated defeats.

The crown prince wants to provoke the status of the first gentleman in Jinling, and his courage is commendable.... Courage is commendable!

It's just that you have to withstand the ruthless counterattack of Xiao Duhou!

Is the prince mentally ready?

Chu Tianxiu was a little surprised.

He originally wanted to see the excitement between Shen Wanbao and Yang Sui.

Why did this fire suddenly burn on him?

You're fighting for your place!

Just don't mess with me.

The prince didn't come to provoke him, and he didn't want to have nothing to do with the prince. But if you come to him for trouble, it won't work.

He is the first big man in Jinling City, and no one wants to compete with him.

The prince can't either!
