Chapter 572: A Flower Determines the Universe

"Xianggong, it seems that he is talking about the golden flower in your hand, have you thought about who you will give the golden flower to?" Hearing the shout of the master of ceremonies, Chen Ningning asked Li Yuntian with a smile, I am afraid that few people would think that this year's Oiran would be decided by a golden flower.

"The Red Luan girl and the purple cuckoo girl can be said to be equally divided, but it's not easy to choose between them, so they didn't throw this golden flower out, but they didn't think that there would be an incident now." Li Yuntian glanced at the golden flower on the table in front of him, and smiled helplessly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Xianggong, although the Hongluan girl and the purple cuckoo girl are equal, but since it is the choice of the Oiran, then one person will eventually lose, if the golden flower of Xianggong is not cast, then the wonderful performance of the two tonight will not be in vain?"

Hearing this, Zheng Wanrou looked at the dignitaries downstairs who were waiting for the last golden flower to appear with great interest, and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

If Li Yuntian's golden flower is not voted out, it will inevitably break out into a bidding frenzy, which will not only make this Oiran Conference surrounded by copper stench, but also unfair to Hongluan and Zijuan, because there will be a lot of uncertainty at that time, and it will be completely up to luck to decide who gets the Oiran between the two.

"Since this is the case, then Xianggong will vote for this golden flower." Li Yuntian naturally knew the meaning of Zheng Wanrou's words, and after thinking about it, he picked up the golden flower on the table in front of him, and smiled and instructed a maid standing aside, "Go, give this golden flower to Miss Hongluan." ”

The maid bowed to Li Yuntian, picked up the golden flower and left in a hurry.

Subsequently, Li Yuntian's eyes fell on Hongluan on the high platform, no matter what kind of purpose Hongluan approached him, since Hongluan gave him a talisman in Baihua Temple, then he naturally wanted to repay Li with a peach and give her the crown of the leader of this Jiangnan Oiran Conference, which can be regarded as a favor for Hongluan.

Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou glanced at each other seemingly casually, and the corners of their mouths showed a hint of a smile, the two of them had already guessed that Li Yuntian would choose Hongluan, compared with Zijuan, in addition to giving Li Yuntian a favor in Baihua Temple, Hongluan's motive for approaching Li Yuntian was also the most suspicious, so Li Yuntian naturally wanted to choose Hongluan.

Under the curious gaze of everyone at the scene, the maid held the golden flower given to her by Li Yuntian in her hand, quickly climbed the high platform, came to the master of ceremonies and whispered to him about Li Yuntian's choice.

"The guest who holds the last golden flower has made his choice, and the leader of this year's Oiran Conference is officially born!" Then, the master of ceremonies picked up the golden flower, walked quickly to the nervous Hongluan and Zijuan, glanced at the two of them with a smile, turned around and shouted to everyone in the audience, "She is from Hangzhou Mansion......"

"Invite the Red Luan girl of the Moon Pavilion!" As he spoke, the master of ceremonies turned around, handed the golden flower in his hand to Hongluan with a smile, and announced it loudly.

Hongluan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard this, her eyes showed a look of surprise, and Zijuan's face showed a disappointment that she couldn't hide, and her expression became a little cold, she was really unwilling to lose in Hongluan's hands at this point, and she was just a little short of winning the Oiran.

With a bang, the hall resounded with a tidal wave of warm applause, and everyone present stood up and applauded one after another, congratulating Hongluan on winning the top spot of this year's Oiran Conference.

Sister Hong glanced at Aunt Zi with a blue face, and then smiled and greeted the people who came to congratulate her, and invited her to the Invitation Moon Pavilion for recreation.

"It's time for us to go." Seeing that Hongluan on the high platform looked excited and his eyes were red, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, stuffed the remaining moon cakes in his hand into his mouth, clapped his hands, stood up, and walked to the door.

Now that the Oiran has been selected, there is no need for Li Yuntian to stay, he doesn't want to be too ostentatious in the Hundred Flowers Building, which is why the master of ceremonies just now did not announce the owner of the last golden flower.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to be in the limelight, and I would like the master of ceremonies to announce his name in public.

"Master Hou, why did you leave so early and not see the newly elected Oiran, Ya Kui and Ji Kui?" When Li Yuntian came to the gate of Baihualou, Lu Xing and Han Hu hurriedly chased after him and asked with some surprise.

"Today is a full moon, and Ben Hou is going back to accompany his wife." Li Yuntian looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and said to the two with a smile.

Lu Xing and Han Hu naturally did not persuade each other when they heard this, and saw Li Yuntian and his entourage get into the carriage and leave, it is quite rare for Daming to pay attention to the family like Li Yuntian, these powerful people who came to Baihualou tonight should not stay outside for recreation, and those Qingqi people who participated in the Oiran Conference were just the targets of their hunting.

However, unlike previous years, none of the Oiran and Yakui elites of this year's Oiran Conference dared to provoke, and others may not know, but those magnates are well-informed, and they must know that the last golden flower was cast by Li Yuntian, and they have also heard rumors about the close relationship between Li Yuntian and Hongluan and Zijuan, so who is full of food and support to find this trouble.

Not to mention these magnates in the Hundred Flowers Building, how many people are willing to provoke Li Yuntian, who is in the Holy Family Zhenglong and has a close relationship with the cabinet and nobles?

In this way, a strange situation was formed, including Ji Kui, and the Qing people were invited by the benefactors to spend a good day with them, but the red luan who was the Oiran and the purple juan who were the Akui were not interested, so they returned to Yixiangtang early.

At this moment, Hongluan also knew that the last golden flower was cast for her by Zhenwu Hou, and she suddenly felt a little flattered in her heart, and at the same time, she was even more lost in her heart.

Obviously, the fact that she and Zijuan were snubbed tonight was related to Zhenwuhou, and the reason why the two were able to tie at the Oiran Conference was also caused by Zhenwuhou, but she knew very well that the people of the Salt Merchants Association were currying favor with Zhenwuhou, so she deliberately let Zhenwuhou be in the limelight, which also meant that the two would be given to Zhenwuhou.

To be honest, Hongluan's heart was full of awe for Zhenwuhou, but if she was asked to dedicate herself to Zhenwuhou, her mood would still be extremely entangled, because she already belonged to her.

"I'm!" In a wing room on the west side of Yixiangtang, Zijuan angrily smashed the objects in the room, and she couldn't accept that she had lost to Hongluan by a golden flower.

"Daughter, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this time it was Zhenwu Hou who ordered Hongluan as the Oiran, otherwise it is not known who will kill the deer." Aunt Zi stood aside and persuaded Zijuan, to be honest, she was unwilling to lose this time, but this matter was already in the boat, and it was useless to regret it.

"Hmph, if she hadn't recognized Hou Ye in Baihua Temple, and then gave the talisman to Hou Ye, how would Hou Ye have chosen her, a despicable villain, as an Oiran!" Zijuan threw a porcelain vase on the ground, and said with a sneer after hearing this.

In her opinion, the reason why Li Yuntian chose Hongluan must be because of that talisman, otherwise he would have voted for that golden flower to Hongluan a long time ago, and would not have stayed until the end, which meant that Li Yuntian had a difficult choice in front of her and Hongluan, but in the end he had to make a choice.

"Hongluan, that girl has seen Zhenwuhou in Baihua Temple?" Aunt Zi was stunned when she heard this, she didn't know about it at all.

"Mother, in fact, the Zhao Gongzi that my daughter went to accompany a few days ago is Master Hou." After venting her anger, Zijuan's mood gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it, she said to Aunt Zi, anyway, this matter can't be hidden for long.

"He's the Marquis of Zhenwu?" Aunt Zi was taken aback, she never thought that the famous Zhenwu Marquis would go over the course of Zijuan and settle Xue Kui's matter, otherwise that matter would be troublesome.

"The lyrics and songs that my daughter sang tonight were composed by Hou Ye's third lady, and the third lady's piano skills are superb, and this time my daughter should have won steadily." Zijuan bowed slightly, and then said hatefully, looking very unwilling.

Aunt Zi was silent when she heard this, and looked at Zijuan with a surprised expression, she didn't expect Zijuan to have so many secrets on her body.

"You are not unjustly defeated this time, Hongluan has been helped by the third lady tonight, and you are no longer on a par with your cousin." At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Chen Guangzong walked in with a smile.

"The eldest son!" Seeing Chen Guangzong, Aunt Zi hurriedly bowed and saluted, and finally understood that Zijuan's secret was related to Chen Guangzong.

"Boss Zi, I have something to talk about with Miss Zijuan, and I ask Boss Zi to avoid it." Chen Guangzong bowed slightly to Aunt Zi and said quietly.

Aunt Zi naturally knew that the two had important matters to discuss, so she bowed slightly to Chen Guangzong and left, and deliberately closed the door when she left.

"Don't be angry, it's okay if Hongluan took the Oiran, it means that Zhenwuhou is suspicious of her." After Aunt Zi left, Chen Guangzong smiled and hugged Zijuan from behind.

"Hou Ye suspects her?" Zijuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, Li Yuntian can have today's achievements How can he be an idle person, at this time it is a critical period of the Lianghuai Yandao ink corruption case, Hongluan took the initiative to send it to the door in Baihua Temple, which naturally caused Li Yuntian's vigilance.

"You stay up for a few more days, and when Zhenwuhou leaves Yangzhou and returns to Beijing, I will marry you immediately." Chen Guangzong knew that Zijuan had already tasted it, so he said with a smile.

"Eldest prince, you said that Marquis Zhenwu won't set off any storms on the Lianghuai Salt Road." Hearing this, Zijuan had a smile on her face, stretched out her hand and pressed it on Chen Guangzong's hand holding her waist, and asked with some concern, she knew that this time the Lianghuai Salt Dao had encountered a big event, otherwise Chen Guangzong would not have spared no effort to curry favor with Li Yuntian.

"Judging from the current situation, Zhenwuhou has no intention of making a big move against the Lianghuai Salt Road, but Zhenwuhou is scheming, and he has the backing of the emperor, the cabinet, and the nobles, so I don't know what he thinks in his heart."

Chen Guangzong's face suddenly showed a solemn look, and he said with a deep sigh, "Therefore, this prince must find someone to place next to Zhenwu Hou, to see what he is doing and what his true thoughts are. ”

"Zijuan understands that as long as he can get to Zhenwuhou's side, he must carefully inquire about the news." Zijuan nodded when she heard this, she naturally knew that Chen Guangzong was in the private salt business, so she was very jealous of Li Yuntian, and she was the eyes and ears that Chen Guangzong placed beside Li Yuntian.

"I'm here this time to see you, and I'm here to give you a wake-up call, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Zhenwu will summon you and Hongluan into the mansion to perform, and you must calm down at that time." Chen Guangzong smiled slightly, then let go of Zijuan and solemnly instructed.

"Eldest Prince, don't you stay at night?" Zijuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Guangzong to leave so soon.

"It's inconvenient now, after Zhenwuhou leaves, we will have time to stay together." Chen Guangzong smiled, reached out and touched Zijuan's cheek, and then left in a hurry, he didn't want to be known about his relationship with Zijuan, otherwise his plan would be ruined.

At the door of the room, Zijuan stared at Chen Guangzong's back, her eyes looked a little confused, if she could help Chen Guangzong with this great favor, then she would not have to look at other people's faces after entering the Chen family, and marrying into a famous family as a concubine was the best destination for them Qinglou women.
