The well was turned over by the people of Bailiguang, and it was a mess, and the cry actually came from the crack in the pit.

Yue'er picked up the air and died wind lamp, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this was a brick wall, she knocked twice, and there was a dull banging sound inside, obviously the pit was empty, there should be a secret passage hidden, the first two times she came down and didn't carry the lamp, she couldn't see it really, and now I saw that there was a gap, I don't know if Liu Erye found it?

The crying had stopped, as if the woman had left.

Yue'er dug hard, and finally pulled out a green brick, with the green brick pulled out, a cold wind blew out, making her feel cold all over, Yue'er picked up the lamp and shone it, the secret passage was pitch black, and she couldn't see it clearly, but there must be an exit over there.

Who dug this secret passage and where does it lead?

A chill suddenly rose in Yue'er's heart, she remembered that opposite Yiyue Tower was the wall of the inner city, and inside was the Great Palace, could it be that this secret passage led to the inner courtyard of the palace?

Thinking of this, Yue'er's heart pounded, she hurriedly inserted the green brick back, and hurriedly climbed out of the waste well with the lamp.

Back at Yiyue Tower, Yue'er closed the door and guessed in her heart that if the waste well was a passage leading to the palace, it would be no wonder that the Frost Leaf Pavilion had not been sold for more than ten years, and the newly bought owner had not long taken over and had not yet discovered the secret of this waste well.

"Could it be that someone in the palace quietly came out and went back quietly, who could this person be, and who else knows this secret?"

Yue'er thought about it while practicing for a while, and thought that she would participate in the battle of the little oiran tomorrow, so she bathed and combed on the bed.

There was a louder drum outside, and it was already a shift at this time.

Following.

Daybreak.

The sky was blowing a north wind, and a chill was coming.

Yue'er got up early to wash, and after breakfast, Baozhu brought a delicate white porcelain treasure and took out makeup for Yue'er to make.

Baozhu first combed Yue'er with a cloud bun, coiled her hair on the left, picked up a red hosta, and said, "This is specially prepared for you by Wang Niang, I hope you will win." ”

Yue'er nodded.

"I don't want to wear heavy makeup, you can just put on a light makeup for me."

"However, Wang Niang ordered, today is the day of Dou Xiao Oiran, if you don't put on makeup well, your mother will blame you, and Baozhu can't afford it."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it, mother, you just have to do it."

"Yes, miss."

Baozhu hesitated, but agreed.

"Sister Baozhu, Wang Niang has participated in the battle of the little oiran twice, in addition to Sister Pomegranate, how is the record of another one?"

"Well, that time it was third, almost at the bottom."

"How did the little Oiran compete in the past, and did it also compare piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing?"

Baozhu's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the best scene in his life.

"I heard that the little Oiran during the Taizu Dynasty was much more lively than now, at that time, I was strong and strong, and all the countries came to the court every year.

Yue'er exclaimed: "Isn't it just a little Oiran, is it so grand?" ”

"Of course there is, and there were sixteen girls who participated in the battle for the little Oiran at that time, but not the four now, they are better than talents and bits, and many literati and scholars, sons and princes and grandsons have come to participate, and if they are lucky, they can also challenge the little Oiran."

"Ah, what are they challenging then?"

"You can do anything, chant poetry, dance and play the piano, and even compete with swords, winning is a good story, losing is reduced to a joke, you don't know, at that time, the private gardens in the Windy City were all vying for the little Oiran as a place to compete, and they couldn't wait in line one by one!"

"If it's so lively, how can that day be compared?"

Yue'er didn't expect that during the Taizu Dynasty, the battle between the little Oiran in the Qinglou was so grand, and it was no wonder that there were many talented and beautiful women at that time.

"Who said that it was compared to a day, at that time a comparison was three or four days, I don't know how many gardens to change, you don't know, once, a son fell in love with the little Oiran, and threw millions on the spot to promise a family affair."

When Baozhu said this, he looked envious and fascinated.

"Who did you listen to this, is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true, the dispute between the little oiran has a special clerk every time, if you have a chance, you can go to the Chongwen Pavilion to have a look, our Windy City has been there since the Taizong Dynasty, and these grand events are all recorded in detail."

Yue'er knew that Chongwen Hall was an imperial academy established during the Taizong Dynasty, and there were many books in it.

"Oh, I see, then why is the little Oiran now gone?"

"It's not that after the Taizong Dynasty, our Dawei country has been defeating the war, and the surrounding barbarian countries are too powerful, especially the big bird country, we have to pay tribute hundreds of thousands of coins every year, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Fan and Lord Wang have been guarding the border passes a few years ago, and now the battle for the little Oiran can be carried out, and it is a pity that they overworked and died one after another."

"However, I heard that the Great Bird Kingdom has no time to deal with our Dawei now, and a new Dajing has risen in their north, which is very powerful, and they are overwhelmed."

"It's not, that's why we've only settled down in the past few years, and who knows when we're going to fight again."

Baozhu sighed while applying makeup, she slightly outlined Yue'er's eyebrows, put on a thin layer of blush, painted her ink eyebrows, and finally put a little cinnabar lipstick on her lips.

Yue'er looked in the mirror and felt very satisfied, the so-called deep lips and light cheeks, at her age, she didn't need makeup at all, she was extremely beautiful.

Wang Niang prepared a green silk placket with wide sleeves for Yue'er, and her temperament suddenly became noble after she wore it.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, I think the geese in the sky will fall when they see it."

Baozhu stood by the mirror and couldn't help but praise.

Yue'er smiled and said: "Shen Yu Luoyan, that is Wang Zhaojun of the Western Han Dynasty, she is one of the four beauties, how can I compare, I don't know what Murong Qi'er is like, Wang Niang said, I can't lose her if I lose today." ”

"Miss, although I haven't seen Murong Qi'er, your appearance of pink carving should be incomparable, and Sister Pomegranate couldn't compare with it back then."

"Oh, have you seen Sister Pomegranate?"

"Of course I've seen it, Sister Pomegranate is only six or seven years older than me, when I was bought by Wang Niang, she hadn't been out of the cabinet yet, I took care of her, and I still have some friendship."

That day, Bailiguang brought people to make trouble, that is, the pomegranate seeds that Baozhu went to Wang Bai's house to find, and the pomegranate begged bitterly, and Wang Bai finally asked someone to summon General Zhao, which was the scene of that day.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Wang Niang came upstairs, she was drunk last night, and now she is still a little dizzy.

Wang Niang saw Yue'er's simple makeup and was about to blame, but then her eyes lit up and said, "Okay, it's good, it's really pitiful for me-"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Yue'er Yue'er owed a debt, but Baozhu was a little worried, and she was relieved to see that Wang Niang seemed to be very satisfied.

"Sansheng Pavilion, Yinbi Courtyard and Drunken Xiangju have all arrived, and the Frost Leaf Pavilion is the master, so we can go down."

When Wang Niang said this, a trace of arrogance somehow appeared on her face.

"Yes, mother."

Baozhu put a translucent scarf on Yue'er's head, and the two followed downstairs.

"Yue'er, when you compete, if you don't know, you can pretend to be disdainful, no matter what the victory or defeat is, you must be arrogant and conceited, and don't be distracted."

"Yes, my daughter understands."

Yue'er saw Baozhu struggling to follow behind with the piano box, and suddenly said: "By the way, mother, today's little flower girl competition, can you play the pipa, Yue'er's guqin really can't be used." ”

Wang Niang was stunned.

"Of course you can, the pipa is also a musical instrument, you can play the pipa, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"My mother has been sick for the past few days, and Yue'er hasn't had time to say it."

Wang Niang said to Baozhu: "Put the piano down, go, find Steward Mo, and tell him to immediately ask someone to get a pipa and send it to the Frost Leaf Building, the sooner the better!" ”

"Yes—"

Baozhu answered, dropped the case directly, and trotted away.

"Let's go!"

Wang Niang led Yue'er towards the Frost Leaf Tower.
