secretly sent Qing Yuwei, and Li Yu also made big moves on the surface. The little peach was renamed "Huai Sleeve", and the royal peach was given the "palm dance", which means to be in charge of the dance. Because the workshop is generally divided into three types: singing, dancing and music, all of which are managed by the workshop. According to the level of official positions, the teaching workshop has the names of Cheng Cheng, Le Zheng and so on. They are all court officials. There is no position of palm dance, Li Yu specially set up such a position for Xiao Tao, and also gave a fish bag from Sanpin, and specially allocated silver by the imperial court.

On the surface, the preferential treatment that Xiao Tao received was simply the glory that many official prostitutes dreamed of. Being an official prostitute can do this, and it is not a loss. It is equivalent to getting the title of the imperial court, and the imperial court gives him a fortune, which can be compared with the officials in the court. From the aura of the three products, it is too rare to have an honor.

But it was precisely this title that killed the little peach circle again. Originally, Xiao Tao escaped death, and Xiao Tao, who was originally in Huayuefang, has been deleted from the roster and no longer exists. If it weren't for being stopped and robbed by Li Yu, Xiao Tao would have been able to live a free life again. Li Yu brought Xiao Tao from the Prince's Mansion to the palace. Although he has been staying in the place where he is in charge of music and dance, he has not made a formal will to let Xiao Tao re-enter the music membership. And he promised Qi Zhengxiu that he would give Xiao Tao a title in the future and give them a marriage.

But Xiao Tao has now left Jinling, and Li Yu has given him a title, but he has given a title among official prostitutes, and it is still a title with a large official title. This made Xiao Tao's identity as an official prostitute settle again. If Qi Zhengxiu wants to marry Xiao Tao, he must first write to Li Yu to remove Xiao Tao's status as an official prostitute. in order to be a formal couple.

When Xu Kai went out of Beijing to look for Qi Zhengxiu in the Huainan border camp, he told Qi Zhengxiu about it. Qi Zhengxiu just nodded lightly, hooked his lips and smiled: "Huai Sleeve, it is a shame that Your Majesty has a stomach full of poetry and has such a tricky name." ”

Xu Kai looked at Qi Zhengxiu and was a little worried: "I also think this name is ambiguous." And there are rumors in the palace about His Majesty and Miss Peach. It's hard to tell the real from the fake. I wanted to ask. But before I could find a chance to ask, Miss Peach had already been sent to Nanchang Mansion. Are you really not going to see Peach Girl? ”

Qi Zhengxiu lightly clasped his fingers on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty will not." ”

Xu Kai shook his head: "Why do you think he won't?" I think he can do anything. Since he was a child, he has never stopped singing and dancing, and he has been surrounded by red clothes and green covers all day long, but he refuses to let go of any woman with some appearance and talent. Even the sister of the former queen, his sister-in-law, he can brave the world's disapproval to occupy it. What else would he not dare to and wouldn't have? What's more, it's a peach girl. You don't know what the peach girl looks like now, I bet that as long as the peach girl dances in front of His Majesty, His Majesty's soul will be hooked. ”

Qi Zhengxiu's fingers curled in, clenched tightly, and then loosened it again, hooked his lips and said, "He is a measured person." Though amorous, he is not fornicated. Especially when it comes to the relationship between the society and the country, he will not risk asking for a woman. ”

"You have so much faith in him." Xu Kai sighed helplessly, "You are really, you obviously have a smooth road, but you don't go." ”

Qi Zhengxiu put the tea cup in his hand to his lips and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is the smooth road?" ”

Xu Kai also poured the tea into his mouth and said, "You don't know yet?!" Resign, you don't even have to resign, just hand over the military power, the emperor can give you thousands of family wealth, and then give the peach girl a name, what lady, even the owner of the township pavilion, you and her will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in this life, why bother? ”

"Your Majesty asked you to come, just to be such a lame lobbyist?" Qi Zhengxiu's eyebrows narrowed, and his smile was deep.

Xu Kai didn't beat around the bush, and replied directly: "Yes, the emperor sent me this time to persuade you as a lobbyist." But that's what I'm saying. Why bother, look at you, how hard you work every day in Huainan. As he spoke, he knocked the tea cup in his hand, "Look at what kind of tea you are drinking now, your subordinates are a hundred times stronger than this." Back to Jinling, not to mention tea, even the mansion is not where you want the emperor will give you which. ”

Qi Zhengxiu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Am I short of money?" ”

One sentence choked Xu Kai there, Qi Zhengxiu lacked the most, but he was afraid that it was money, Xu Kai slowed down and said: "Even if it's not for you, for the sake of the peach girl, you have to think about it." Miss Peach is even more pitiful, just because of your stubbornness, she has been on the same page with official prostitutes in her life. It was easy to get out, and he was made the number one official prostitute by Li Yu. I'm afraid that when you don't follow Li Yu, you won't be able to get rid of this title. Even if she is from Sanpin now, no one dares to bully her, but what good girl is willing to carry the title of a prostitute? ”

Xu Kai's words asked Qi Zhengxiu there. Qi Zhengxiu's hand was on the edge of the teacup, he didn't say anything, but his face was much paler than just now. After a while, he said in a difficult voice: "Xiao Tao, you are a transparent person, and you won't care about these distracting things." ”

Xu Kai snorted and did not answer. After a long time, Qi Zhengxiu looked out the window, and his voice was a little distant: "You weren't like this before." ”

Xu Kai sneered: "I used to be full of blood and passion. But does it work? The crown prince is dead, and everything is useless. The emperor is still using me now, but he is guarding against me everywhere. Why do I have to stumble on him? He didn't appreciate it either. It's better to live a worry-free life, save your own energy, and the emperor will feel at ease. ”

The air in the room seemed to be frozen, and Qi Zhengxiu said slowly after a while: "You are doing your best, for the Tang Dynasty, not for anyone, and not for the emperor." ”

"But the Tang Dynasty is the emperor's Tang Dynasty." Xu Kai quickly retorted, "If you say something unfaithful, it may be ugly. If one day Datang really dies, Li Yu will also be finished. But we can be courtiers of the new court. Therefore, Datang is just Li Yu's Datang"

"Alright." Qi Zhengxiu interrupted Xu Kai's words, his voice was not as gentle as before, "You have indeed changed." ”

Xu Kai smiled as if self-deprecatingly: "People change." After saying this, he couldn't say anything, Qi Zhengxiu and Xu Kai sat opposite each other, and they didn't say anything for a long time.

The news that Xiao Tao was given the title also spread to the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin was not interested in these lace news, Zhao Guangyi heard the rumors "oh", and then asked: "What is the name of the dancer who was sealed?" ”

"I don't know the original name, but the Southern Tang Emperor gave me a new name, Huai Sleeve."

Zhao Guangyi twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered, the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty are the most enchanting, from Li Jing to Li Yu, blindly vassal elegance and sleeves? Long sleeves are good at dancing, so nostalgic? Or did you hold those long sleeves in your arms? It sounds like an unappetizing sour fake vinegar, and there is a sense of ambiguity, for fear that others will not know that this dancing girl and the emperor have some unclear relationship and gave this name. Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and didn't pay attention to it.

The brothel in Nanchang Mansion cannot be compared with Huayuefang. The front and rear courtyards are not small, but they are dilapidated. There are mixed people inside, and there is no distinction between prostitutes. Prostitutes and singers and dancers are mixed together, and from time to time, some low-level officials who are looking for prostitutes rush in, catch singers and dancers for fun, and frighten the girls to dodge everywhere. Even some people are not officials, and no one cares if they give a few dollars to find a girl. The steward of the brothel was an old woman in her fifties, who was not in good health, and as long as she had money to collect, she pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored everything.

Xiao Tao arrived here, and had been harassed several times in less than a month. Fortunately, she was given from the third grade, and no one dared to mess around after revealing her identity. Some singers and dancers begged Xiao Tao if they could help them, and they were insulted by officials, and those squires, who had a few dollars to rub oil, really couldn't wait.

Xiao Tao saw that the situation of the brothel was really bleak, so she gritted her teeth and went to see the Fu Yin of Nanchang Mansion with her Sanpin fish bag in her hand.

Fu Yin didn't meet Xiao Tao in person, and sneered: "What kind of Ah Wu'er dares to come to ask for a meeting, do you really think that you are from the third grade?" "I only sent my subordinate county officials to the front hall to answer.

Xiao Tao looked at the official uniform of the county Cheng, and did not get up, but still sat on the chair, threw the fish bag in his hand on the table, and said coldly: "Today, Huai Sleeve is to visit Lord Yin of the Imperial Court as a third-grade person, so naturally there is something important to discuss." If Lord Fu Yin feels that he is from the same three products, only the civil and military generals are worthy of seeing the adults, and the small teaching workshop is not worthy, Huai Sleeve will personally write to the emperor and withdraw the fish bag from the three products. ”

As soon as the county heard Xiao Tao's tone, what he said was reasonable, and it seemed to imply that he was very close to the emperor, and he could pass the documents without going through the hands of others. The county didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly returned to the backyard and reported to the mansion.

Fu Yin frowned reluctantly, and changed into his official uniform: "I want to see how much reason a woman from the Qinglou of the teaching workshop can say." ”

When Xiao Tao saw Fu Yin, she first saluted respectfully, and then sat down without humility or arrogance. Fu Yin took a sip of tea, and didn't want to be verbose, so he asked bluntly: "I don't know what happened today when the girl with sleeves came?" ”

Xiao Tao smiled lightly: "Huai Sleeve is just here to tell two stories to adults." ”

"Oh?" Fu Yin snorted and said casually, "That girl has to talk faster, there are a lot of things in the mansion." ”

The corners of Xiao Tao's lips raised: "The first story, in the eleventh year of Baoda, Qingniang, an official prostitute in Yangzhou, was invited to a family banquet by Sima in Yangzhou, but was insulted by the salt merchant, and Qingniang committed suicide. The imperial court ordered a strict order, the salt merchant asked for beheading, and Yangzhou Sima was demoted. Xiao Tao's tone of voice is a little like Qi Zhengxiu, gentle, but the momentum is very similar to Zhao Guangyi, and there is a kind of confidence that cannot be refuted. She didn't know how she got to be like this. However, it seems that in the process of talking to people again and again, I realize that this attitude and way is the most acceptable and effective. Yahua Xuba.

The corners of Nanchang Mansion Yin's mouth grinned unconsciously, what kind of story is this? Really, a little official prostitute can still provoke this?
