Chapter 72: True and False Oiran
The concubines on both sides whispered, and someone whispered: "Is this what the little Oiran looks like, it's too ordinary, right?" β
Yue'er immediately had several questions in her heart, this little Oiran is a fake, so is Wang Niang fake, and if so, who took over the Frost Leaf Pavilion, is it the mysterious organization that assassinated herself?
The Queen Mother saw Yue'er retreating, and suddenly beckoned: "Wait, Concubine Duan, come over and sit here at the mourning house." Then he said to a palace maid behind him: "Hanyan, you go and get the medicine, bring the bottle of Snow Lotus Beauty and Muscle Cream!" β
The palace maid called Hanyan bowed and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." After saying that, he turned around and stepped off the stage.
Yue'er hesitated a little, she looked at the queen.
The queen hurriedly leaned on the queen mother's ear and whispered: "Concubine Duanniang is sick, her mood may be problematic, the palace maid who burned to death last year is now under house arrest, how can she sit here?" β
The Queen Mother glanced at the queen and said, "You see that she is talking so calmly today, how can she be sick, call her up." β
The queen nodded.
Lin Zhaoyi in the audience was indignant, the opportunity to come to power today, the emperor obviously promised him, how could he give Concubine Duan this ugly monster!
Yue'er wondered in her heart, what kind of holiday did this queen have with Concubine Duan, and she had to embarrass her like this? Since the queen nodded, she also walked on the stage, and after the salute, the queen mother ordered someone to move a chair and let Yue'er sit behind her, Yue'er saw that there was still an empty set of tables and chairs on the stage, and she couldn't help but jump in her heart.
The little Oiran walked across the long carpet to the front of the stage and saluted the Queen Mother and the Empress.
The queen said, "Come, little Oiran, tell us how you defeated the princess of the Great Bird Kingdom twice?" β
The little Oiran replied and began to tell, what she said was basically right, especially the time was very accurate, as for the state of mind during the competition, she didn't mention it, Yue'er had a judgment in her heart, this must have been taught by Wang Niang, it is impossible for others to say it so accurately, so to speak, the assassination that day, Wang Niang did not die.
The Queen Mother listened and listened, and suddenly grabbed one of Yue'er's hands and rubbed it, she felt that Yue'er's hand was as soft as a boneless, and she couldn't help but feel pity, how could such a beautiful little hand ruin her face?
Yue'er was a little nervous, and at the same time a little secretly laughed, the real little Oiran was on the stage, and the fake one below was pretending, she saw that the little Oiran's body trembled slightly, and after saying something, a lot of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
When the little Oiran finished speaking, the Queen Mother let go of Yue'er, stroked her palms and laughed, and said: "Happy, happy, after the Taizu Dynasty, I have always been at a disadvantage with the Big Bird Country, whether it is fighting or trading, and this time I finally won once!" β
Lin Zhaoyi rolled her eyes, stood up and said: "Queen Mother, since the little flower girl is so powerful, the concubine has the courage to let her perform in circles when she dances with the big bird princess, she didn't turn hundreds in one go, I don't believe it." β
Someone applauded below.
The little Oiran trembled when she heard this, she didn't know how to turn in circles, let alone hundreds, even dozens of them couldn't be done.
The queen cast an inquiring look at an old eunuch behind her.
The eunuch leaned over and whispered, "The emperor is on his way to the Ciming Palace, and he should arrive in a few moments." β
"Okayβ"
The queen replied and said to the little oiran: "Lin Zhaoyi's proposal is very good, little oiran, you can dance the dance of the day again." β
The little Oiran's body trembled slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse, when he suddenly heard a report from outside the hall.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
Everyone cheered and got up and knelt on both sides of the red carpet.
I saw a group of people walking into the door of the palace, the first one was forty years old, seven feet tall, wearing a silk robe, wearing a crown of heaven, a large gold and jade belt around his waist, white socks and black clothes on his feet, he had a square face, his face was ruddy, his two eyebrows were thick and thick, his air was magnificent, his appearance was dignified, and behind him were two little eunuchs.
"This is when Zi Xuanling is today?"
Yue'er's heart was pounding, she fell to the ground, and secretly compared Zhaoju and Zhaozhen with the man in front of her, only to feel that their bodies and appearances were somewhat similar.
The man walked to the front of the stage and bowed down to the Queen Mother.
"The son Xuanling visited the queen mother, and I wish the queen mother a long life and an eternal face."
The Queen Mother smiled: "The emperor is flat." β
The Xuan Ling got up, and the queen and the concubines saw the emperor together.
Lin Zhaoyi came out of the crowd and said to Xuan Lingjiao with disgust: "Your Majesty, you are really here." β
Xuan Ling asked, "What?" β
"Look, Oiran is about to do a dance."
Xuan Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Has the little Oiran also been invited, where is it?" β
The little Oiran knelt on the red carpet, and she kowtowed to Emperor Xuanling and said, "Long live the people's daughter Sang Yueyu to see my emperor, long live." β
Xuan Ling turned his head, he still had some expectations for the little Oiran, but now that he saw it, he felt that it was nothing more than that, and he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
"Yes, this time the big bird country has returned, you are the first achievement, I want to reward you."
Xuan Ling smiled at Lin Zhaoyi as he spoke, and walked towards the stage under the guidance of the eunuch, and the extra seats on this platform were prepared for him.
Lin Zhaoyi saw that the emperor did not pull herself to the stage, she wrinkled her nose and snorted, she knew that in front of so many people, the emperor could not show special favor to herself, so she had to return to her seat in a huff.
The queen glanced at Lin Zhaoyi in the audience, which was quite meaningful.
"The emperor just said that he wanted to reward the little oiran, and the queen mother also promised to give her a big reward, I don't know what Your Majesty wants to reward?"
"Of course I want to be rewarded, and I have already prepared a decree."
Xuan Ling nodded to a little eunuch beside him, and the eunuch took out a holy decree and walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly: "Frost Leaf Pavilion Flower Lady Sang Yueyu takes the decree." β
The little Oiran fell to her knees again.
"The little girl Sang Yueyu took the order."
"Sang Yueyu, the folk daughter of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, is naturally beautiful, intelligent and brave, competes with the princess of the big bird country, fights for the honor of Da Kuo, I cherish it, and now I give the word 'first little Oiran', and enjoy the pearl hundred, the brocade thousand horses, and the gold thousand taels, and admire this."
"Thank you, thank you!"
The people below heard the first little Oiran, and couldn't help but exclaim, this first is not casually sealed, since the founding of the country, there has never been a girl who has received such high praise.
Yue'er was sitting on one side at this time, and she could clearly see the side of Xuanling, she felt that when Emperor Xuanling looked at the queen, his eyes were a little evasive and timid, and she couldn't help but smile in her heart, the emperor was afraid of his wife, but he still favored Lin Zhaoyi, it was really troublesome.
At this time, the queen spoke: "Queen Mother, you see that the emperor has been rewarded, when will you reward it?" β
"Good, good."
The Queen Mother nodded, turned her head down, and said to the little Oiran: "Miss Yue'er, what kind of reward do you want, say it and try to satisfy the mourning family!" β
The little flower fell to the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The people's daughter can offer my modest strength, it is a deep honor, just now the emperor has been rewarded, and I dare not ask for it again." β
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, very good, the little Oiran is not the same as the vulgar flow, out of the mud and not stained, such a character is worthy of praise, the mourning family will give you the Frost Leaf Pavilion in recognition of your merits, how about it?" β
The little Oiran was stunned, and before she understood what the Queen Mother meant, the Queen smiled and said: "Yue'er, you are not grateful, the Queen Mother wants to buy the Frost Leaf Pavilion for you, from this moment on, you are the master of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, and everything you will do in the future will be your own decision!" β
The little Oiran kowtowed again and again, but there was trepidation on his face.
Lin Zhaoyi stood up again and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, now that the award has been awarded, can you let the concubines enjoy the dance of the little Oiran?" β
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, little Oiran, you can start now." β
The little Oiran kowtowed again and again, and said, "Please be gracious to the Queen Mother, the emperor, and the queen, Yue'er is unwell today and can't dance, please give permission to perform again next time." β
The Queen Mother and Queen Mother were a little disappointed when they heard this, but Xuan Ling didn't mind, and waved her hand and said, "Then it's good next time." β
Yue'er was a little surprised, if someone broke the siege for Xiao Huakui, she could suspect that the person had something to do with the mysterious organization that assassinated her, but the emperor personally broke the siege, so she couldn't say it.
