Chapter 121 Accidentally Became the Top Oiran, Your Majesty Goes to Yihong Courtyard
Chapter 121 Accidentally Became the Top Oiran, Your Majesty Goes to Yihong Courtyard
Although the sky was a bit gloomy, the word Yihongyuan was shining brightly into Jiang Xian's eyes.
Yi, Hong, Yard,
Qing, Lou,
Jiang Xian just laughed angrily. What does this mean? Do you want to enjoy yourself before you die, or do you want to enjoy yourself before you die?
Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, if Jiang Xian still felt a little distressed + liked before coming to Yihong Courtyard, then at this moment, he has none at all.
Yihong Courtyard...
dog king...
After being brought in, there were many customers sitting downstairs, surrounded by younger sisters, reeking of alcohol and making flirtatious jokes.
"Oh, my lord, what wind brought you here?"
"Xiao Cui, come quickly, take good care of the official—"
The mother of Yihong Courtyard was very discerning, and saw that these people were from the palace as soon as she came in.
"Stop talking nonsense, find an empty room, and have something important to talk about."
"Okay, okay, I'll take the official there right now, please come to the official."
Jiang Xian followed behind. As soon as he walked in, his slender figure and stunning appearance immediately attracted the attention of many women in the brothel of Yihong Courtyard.
Serving those short and fat people all day, just for a few taels of silver, even if they are uncomfortable in their hearts, they are all smiling. When they meet a young man like Jiang Xian, they all have a spring heart.
In this way, even if they don't give money, they are willing to take the initiative to serve!
As soon as Yihongyuan's mother stepped up, there were many people scrambling to prepare tea on the back feet, and almost fought over it.
"Everyone doesn't go outside to serve customers, why are you standing here?"
"Sister Liu Yan."
"Hi, Miss Yan'er."
The woman called Sister Yan'er was the oiran of Yihong Courtyard, the top card, and many people came to Yihong Courtyard just for Liu Yan'er.
In Yihongyuan, whoever is more popular and more liked by customers will have a greater right to speak.
As for Liu Yan'er, even Xu's mother spoiled her, after all, she was the one who made money.
Liu Yan'er smiled lightly, her eyes full of charm, "Go out, I'll bring the tea."
The others didn't dare to say anything, they could only whisper a few words behind their backs.
Liu Yan'er took over the matter of delivering tea, and even tidied it up before going in.
"Mother Xu, Yan'er is here to deliver tea."
The conversation inside obviously stopped, and after a while, Mother Xu came out from inside.
"Why did you come here to deliver it yourself, just let the servants do it, give it to me."
As she said that, Mother Xu wanted to bring over the tea.
Liu Yan'er smiled, and her intentions were obvious, "Should Yan'er send it in for Mom?"
Mother Xu didn't spoil her this time, her face became serious, "This one inside is not something you can provoke, go back to the room first."
"Mother Xu..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was closed.
Xu's mother smiled and waited, "The official is drinking tea."
"There's no need for tea, did you understand what I just said?"
"I know, I know, since it was the order from the palace, Yihong Courtyard must obey the order of the official, but..."
Xu's mother was a little embarrassed, "It's just that if these officials are here to fight, how can I open the door to do business?"
"Could the official be accommodating and change into Yihongyuan's clothes?"
The leading guard frowned and said, "Yes."
Xu's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "One more thing, the one who sent it, do you need to arrange someone to take care of it?"
If you are a noble person, you must take good care of him.
If not, then Mother Xu doesn't need to show any good looks.
"The higher-ups ordered that you can come out to pick up the guests, but be careful not to cause any big impact."
"Hey, okay, sir, I see."
"That's it. The palace guards stationed here will come to Yihong Courtyard tomorrow morning. You can arrange it in advance."
After all, these guards went to the wing where Jiang Xian was, and guarded them very strictly inside and out.
After the person left, Liu Yan'er was a little unconvinced and went to find Mother Xu.
Xu's mother also quickly pulled him into the wing room, "My aunt, what kind of temper are you having?"
"Mother Xu, what is that person's background? Why is there such a big fight?"
"The ones in the palace, I don't know if they were punished and arranged to pick up the guests on purpose. If you don't have any thoughts, you should not move, and serve Prince Rui well, you know?"
Liu Yan'er responded perfunctorily, "I know, I know."
Having said that, he still misses Jiang Xian a little bit.
After all, it's hard not to be moved by that appearance.
It took two full days before everything was properly arranged. These guards would change shifts in batches, and there was no need to do chores in Yihong Courtyard, just guarding Jiang Xian.
When treating guests, they say that these are hired thugs.
On the third day of Yihong Courtyard, Jiang Xian was arranged to pick up the guests.
"Is it Jiang Xian? This name is not very attractive. Even if it is written on the sign, no one will pick you. How about changing your name?"
Mother Xu led a few girls to Jiang Xian's wing, claiming that she wanted to teach him some rules.
Jiang Xian has lost his temper, and his voice is slightly soft, "Really? Then what name is better?"
"Girls, tell me your name."
——Tweety, Lianer, Lianer, Xiner——
——Green lotus peony, peony and clove——
Mother Xu thought about it seriously, "How about calling you Xian'er? It's not okay, it's too polite, Xian'er? Narcissus?"
"Yes, Narcissus, go and go, arrange for someone to engrave the sign with Narcissus, and choose a good brand with big red."
Jiang Xian: "..."
It's all thanks to the dog emperor!
To this day, I haven't had the chance to meet the dog emperor, so I endured the calm for a while.
On that day, the two signs of the top brand Liu Yan'er and the top brand Narcissus were hung up.
But the only difference is that these two brands are divided into men and women.
"I said Mother Xu, what is the meaning of the man written under the narcissus sign? Could it be that Yihong Court has found a male oiran?"
When this statement fell, many people burst into laughter.
Mother Xu smiled and said, "I'll know when the time comes, Narcissus will come out to pick up guests for the first time tomorrow night, everyone, don't forget to join us!"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a lot of excitement."
"Narcissus, the name sounds nice, but I want to see what kind of beauty can be with Miss Yan'er."
"Where's Miss Yan'er? It's been a long time since I saw Miss Yan'er!"
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and they started clamoring to see Miss Yan'er again.
Liu Yan'er struggled for half an hour before rushing out to play a song.
Even if it was just playing a tune, everyone saw Liu Yan'er's coquettish posture, and everyone was not stingy, and kept throwing money on the stage.
Jiang Xian was called by Mother Xu and stood in a corner where no one could see.
"Did you see, you're going up tomorrow night too, can you sing?"
Jiang Xian refused without hesitation, "No."
Xu's mother was not in a hurry, "It's okay, it's okay, just go up and twist it a few times."
Narcissus's beauty, if she was a woman, she would definitely compare to Yan'er.
So mother Xu is not worried at all.
They even arranged for Liu Yan'er, the baby lump, to come out, and asked her to explain to these people that she must come to join in the show at night.
Xu's mother is already calculating how much silver taels she can earn at most tomorrow night.
——oo——
Compassion Palace...
On the fifteenth day of every month, His Majesty will come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to accompany the Empress Dowager to have a meal.
Today is exactly fifteen.
Xie Rui happened to be there when Xie Jiuyuan passed by.
"Mother."
"Excuse me, and there are no outsiders around, so there is no need for so many rules and etiquette."
"Today, I asked the imperial dining room to prepare some more sweet flavors. They won't taste good when they get cold. Let's go eat."
Xie Rui likes to eat sweet food.
Xie Jiuyuan has never liked sweets.
The empress dowager's attitude towards Xie Rui was obviously much warmer than Xie Jiuyuan's, which was like a mother treating her son.
Xie Jiuyuan's eyes were dim, and he rarely spoke when eating.
"Didn't your mother find many noble daughters for you a few days ago? Didn't you look down on any of them?"
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry to ask me to marry a wife? If you don't want to marry, it's troublesome." Xie Rui had a headache from being urged to get married, and he hasn't had enough fun yet.
"Are you still thinking about that brothel girl? The Ai family will never allow a lowly brothel girl to marry into your house. You have given up on that."
Xie Rui had a heart attack, so he had to deliberately change the topic, "Isn't the emperor not yet a queen? Why didn't the queen mother urge the emperor?"
The empress dowager then glanced at Xie Jiuyuan, "Emperor, you have been on the throne for several years, and the harem has no heirs. After all, it will not last long."
Xie Rui echoed from the side, "That's right, Brother Huang, don't many ministers in the court intend to marry their daughters into the palace? Brother Huang, do you like any of them? Do you want me to help Brother Huang find some? "
Xie Jiuyuan frowned imperceptibly, but his tone was still indifferent, "I have no idea of setting up a harem."
"I'm the same as the emperor!"
The empress dowager sighed deeply, "Forget it, Aijia can't persuade you."
During the meal, Xie Rui turned around from time to time and asked the servants who were serving beside him, "What time is it?"
"Go back to your lord, it's almost time."
Xie Rui immediately put down his chopsticks, "Mother, I have something to do, so I left first."
The empress dowager's eyes were full of helplessness, "What are you going to do again? Are you going out of the palace to find that brothel girl?"
Xie Rui smiled, "Knowing the son is better than the mother, the son and minister will leave first."
Xie Rui was about to say something to the emperor, but he never wanted to be stopped by the empress dowager, "Wait a minute."
"You all go down first."
"Yes, the Empress Dowager."
All the irrelevant servants who served beside him were driven out, and all the confidantes were left behind.
Only then did the empress dowager speak, "Go with the emperor."
After saying this, Xie Jiuyuan paused for a moment.
Xie Rui couldn't believe what he heard, "What does the empress mean... let the emperor go with me...to the brothel?"
For the majestic king of a country, it is okay to go to the brothel.
"So what, if the emperor likes it, it's fine to bring it back to the palace."
"But didn't the queen mother just say that she would never allow brothel girls to marry into Erchen's mansion?"
The empress dowager's tone was very flat, "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and one more brothel woman will be fine."
Xie Jiuyuan has never liked that kind of romantic place, "I still have a memorial that I haven't dealt with, so it's inconvenient to go."
The Empress Dowager's voice suddenly became serious, "When can we not deal with the affairs in the court? Your Majesty has set up a harem since he became the throne, and the Ai family has never objected. Now it is just for His Majesty's benefit. Why don't you let His Majesty go to the brothel to have a look? "
After all, the empress dowager was out of breath for a while, she stretched out her hand to cover her heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"The Empress Dowager!"
"Mother's Queen." Xie Rui stepped forward anxiously, "Hurry up and tell the imperial physician."
Holding a handkerchief in her hand, the Empress Dowager took a moment to relax, "I'm sick, I don't know how long I can live with this body."
"Whether to follow His Majesty, there is no intention of threatening His Majesty. If you don't like it, the Ai family can't threaten who His Majesty really married."
"Jianqiu, help Ai's family to rest."
"Yes, the Empress Dowager."
Xie Jiuyuan's eyes were very pale, looking at the back of the empress dowager leaving.
The empress dowager didn't dare to threaten, but she didn't care at all.
"Brother Huang, the Queen Mother has no other intentions. She just wants Brother Huang to marry a wife and have children with me as soon as possible. However, Brother Huang seems to have never been to the brothel. How about going out of the palace today to have a look? Just to relax."
"There are countless complicated affairs in the palace, go out and drink some wine, and see if there is any woman who has caught the eye of the emperor."
After finishing speaking, Xie Rui seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said, "It just so happens that the Prince of Nanliang will come to pick up the guests today, Brother Huang, do you want to go and see?"
"Yihonglou's top oiran for the first time was a man, and many people are extremely rare. If we go now, we should be able to catch up just in time."
Xie Rui has been asking about the time of the servants around him today, and he doesn't want to miss the time to go to Yihong Courtyard.
Don't say it, Xie Rui is really curious.
Xie Rui's first few sentences did not impress Xie Jiuyuan, but the last two sentences really moved him.
The crown prince of Nanliang is picking up the guest today, the number one oiran of Yihong Courtyard, a man.
Anyway, he is the prince of Nanliang, but now he has been reduced to this point, and he is willing to live in a brothel, how can it not make people curious.
Xie Jiuyuan didn't speak for a long time, Xie Rui thought it was over.
"If the emperor doesn't like it, then the minister will—"
"Prepare the horse."
Is this a promise? !
Xie Rui didn't care about anything, and hurried to make arrangements for leaving the palace.
In order to avoid criticism from others, today he told the outside world that His Majesty was not feeling well and had to rest early.
Then he left the palace in a carriage and went straight to Yihong Courtyard.
One day earlier, when Liu Yan'er, the oiran, came out to play a piece, she specially asked everyone not to forget to join her tonight.
Some people are for Liu Yan'er, while others are curious about where the "Narcissus" on the sign is.
Yihong Courtyard was full early, and many more tables and chairs were placed in the hall.
Today, there are also men and women, all rushing to watch the excitement.
Mother Xu came over in a hurry, "Prince Rui really said that he would come today?"
Liu Yan'er nodded, "I said it, the news was personally delivered by someone close to the prince."
"Well, I'll let Cui'er go up, and wait for the prince to come over."
"okay."
Liu Yan'er is Prince Rui's favored person, since Prince Rui is going to come over, even if he is performing on stage, he will naturally have to wait until Prince Rui comes over.
Not long after, the people guarding the door came to report that Prince Rui's carriage had arrived.
"Hurry up, Yan'er, get ready."
"Where is Narcissus? He will be after Yan'er, let him prepare well."
"You guys, come with me to meet people."
Outside, two carriages stopped.
Zhang Desheng stepped forward cautiously, "Master, we're here."
