Chapter 69 Invited to the Palace
I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already three days. Anyway, the Zuichun Building is also open at night. Now is the time for girls to make up for sleep, but Xu's mother doesn't seem to let her go. Before she woke up, she faintly heard Xu's mother holding her voice downstairs and didn't know what to shout, but she really heard her name.
I changed my dress and washed it again. Wan Yiliang slowly went downstairs. Xu's mother saw her as if she had seen a savior. "Oh, my little aunt, why did you get up at this time?"
Xu's mother couldn't help complaining. She had long thought of looking for Wan Yongliang in Baili Ranfeng's box, but she didn't expect that there was no one in the box, and she disappeared. She didn't see her after looking around on the first and second floors. Each box on the third floor has a specific owner, even if she is the steward in the Zuichun Building. They have the right to enter their room without permission, and finally have to wait for Wan Yi to come out downstairs. Fortunately, there is still time.
"What's wrong with Mother Xu's hurry?" Wan Yiliang felt the staring eyes of the women around her, and almost all of them were full of jealousy and viciousness. Her arrival did have a great impact on them, but she did not belong here, but unfortunately she still made public anger.
"It's not because of you." Xu's mother showed the same rich look as last night. "The emperor invited hundreds of officials in the palace tonight, and the prince of the Ouyang family specially arranged for you to dance in front of the imperial court." Another lot of silver was waying to her. How could Mother Xu not be happy?
"The son of the Ouyang family? I don't know which prince it is?" Wan Yiliang asked deliberately.
"There is no other prince. Naturally, he is Master Ouyang Chengxi. He didn't come yesterday, but he didn't expect that your reputation has reached his ears. It's a blessing that others can't be cultivated in his lifetime."
Sure enough, it's him, Ouyang Chengxi, what's your mind? It was really her mistake not to leave him a lesson yesterday. I didn't expect him to be so difficult. Now it's also in his territory. She wants to see what else he can do.
Wan Yiliang was already a little angry, but he had a flattered expression on his face, which stimulated several other women who could not get such a good opportunity. Before Wan Yiliang came, Lan Rao was the number one brand of Zui Chunlou. This kind of good thing will generally fall on her head. However, in this industry, even if she is 21 years old, even if she does not appear charming, Xu's mother will not let her attend such an important occasion again. However, 16-year-old Qingxi is more likely that she is also new to Zuichun. Not long after, I heard that it was the family that he was exiled here. He always carried the talent and arrogance of the little jade. I'm afraid that Xu's mother's key training during this period will soon be able to become a teacher.
"Mom, isn't it too rash to let her go to the palace banquet when she first came here and didn't know anything?" Lanrao was unwilling. Originally, she thought it was just a little girl with a little freshness, but she didn't expect that as soon as she appeared yesterday, she took away the three souls of her ministers under her skirts, which made her happy when she was happy with the guests yesterday. It was really angry and hateful.
"That's right, mom, you can't be so biased." One person's dissatisfaction aroused everyone's rebellious feelings. Although they usually look down on the other, at this time, they naturally know which camp to choose. If they let Meiliang continue to be dominant, I'm afraid that this Zuichun Tower will not even have a place for them to stand in the future.
"What's quarreling about? What's quarreling about? If you have the ability, you can also let Mr. Ouyang like you. You know that you are jealous here one by one. It's better to go back and learn that ** skill so that you can grasp the people in your hands now." Xu's mother waved her hand. It is common for this girl to quarrel and quarrel with each other. Usually, she can even close one eye, but if today delays her good time to make money, she may definitely be angry and peel off a layer of skin for them.
"Mom..." Lan Tao wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Xu's mother, so she had to close her mouth and give Wan Yanliang a jealous look.
She saw a lot of this kind of look, and Wan Yanliang didn't react at all. She asked Xu's mother, "Mom Xu, what day is this palace banquet?"
Lan Rao made a sound disdainfully, as if she was laughing at Wan Yanliang for not knowing anything. Wan Yanliang didn't care, but it was better not to do anything for her behind her back. She is not a soft-hearted master now.
"If you don't ask me, I've been so blocked by these little hooves that I forgot to tell you. Come with me and I'll tell you slowly." Xu's mother took Wan Yuliang to her room, and her face looked a little serious.
"Meiliang, you came to this drunken spring building by yourself. Let alone say what your purpose is. There are too many guests in this building that you can't afford to provoke. If I find out that you have any bad behavior, don't blame your mother for finding it ruthless."
"Mother Xu can rest assured that I will not do anything to harm the interests of Zui Chunlou for the time being." I want to give her a horse, but unfortunately she doesn't like this.
"Temporarily? What you said is to make it difficult for my mother. Xu's mother's tone couldn't help but aggravate a little, and her eyes became sharper. Sure enough, she was not only a madam in a brothel, but also knew how to scare people.
"I'm not from Zuichunlou. If anything really happens, Xu's mother just needs to prevaricate this sentence." There must be a nightmare religion as a backer. It is difficult for Zuichun Tower to come up with any big problems. If the nightmare religion is extinguished or disbanded one day, she should consider her destination.
"How can things be as simple as you think?" Xu's mother sighed, and she suddenly felt that Wan Yi was very cold now, like her former, and she was so arrogant. Her eyes are higher than the top, but Wan Yiliang has more capital than her. She will not be cheated of money and finally fall into being sold into a prostitute. Fortunately, she met the leader of the dark religion, which gave her a feeling of living again, so at that time she vowed to be loyal to Qin Jiatian until the most of her life. Later, if she could be 20 years younger, she may want to be the leader's woman, but now it's good, at least she can feel that she lives meaningfully.
"How complicated is that? I will do what I can do. If I can't do it, it's a kind of life to just run away. Wan Yiliang just wanted to let Xu's mother put down her guard through this conversation and believe that she really didn't mean malice, otherwise she wouldn't have talked so much nonsense with her.
It's really open-minded. If she could have such an understanding when she was young, she might not have had such a miserable experience. With these words alone, Xu's mother still can't believe her. She is too strange. There are very few women who take the initiative to step into the brothel, and there is no deed between them. Maintaining the relationship, in case Wan Yongliang has done something great in the name of Zui Chunlou, isn't it still them to clean up the mess? There may also be exposure to the ghost religion. It's all because she was unthinkable at that time, and now she thinks about it like leading a wolf into the house.
"Mom Xu doesn't believe me, and I can't do anything about it, but Xu's mother knows so many people that she should have the ability to distinguish between good and bad others. If I really want to do something, I won't sit here honestly and tell you this now."
Mom Xu thinks so. She is useless to be suspicious now. If she is really worried about her, just send a few people to stare at her secretly. I believe that this charming and weak woman can't turn the sky upside down, right?
"I'll believe you first. If I find out that you lied to me, you won't have a good end." Xu's mother warned for the last time.
"I understand. Can Xu's mother tell me about the palace banquet now?" Wan Yiliang doesn't want to make any mistakes at that time.
"There is a banquet in the 15th palace every month. Don't you even know this? Aren't you from Yuan Tang?" The hard-won alert was picked up again, and Xu's mother stared at Wan Yiliang, looking like 'you tell me honestly'.
"I'm really not from Yuan Tang. When I first came here, I came to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
"Has mother Xu heard of a sentence called 'Curiosity to kill cats'?" Wan Yanliang said to Xu's mother in a gloomy tone, and blew a cold breath in her ear by the way, which scared her whole body to trembling, and her appearance became a little funny in an instant.
"At least I'm still a member of Zuichunlou. If Xu's mother is not going to tell each other, once something goes wrong, I will definitely pull Zuichunlou into the water. Xu's mother can rest assured."
Don't worry? Don't worry! Xu's mother was almost scolded directly just now, but fortunately, she couldn't help it. If she hadn't read it wrong just now, a trace of murder did flash in Mei Liang's eyes, and it was aimed at her, which made her really feel a chill.
"I said, I said that this palace banquet is just a way to connect feelings between the emperor and the ministers. At the same time, it is also a blind date meeting of the young generation. At this kind of banquet, there will always be various daughter performances on the stage. There will be rewards for choosing the best emperor, and even if the emperor is happy, he can agree. The winner has a request, that's why I said that you don't know that the blessings of several generations have been so good. Xu's mother said a long paragraph in anger, and Wan Yiliang also heard the reason, but how could Ouyang Chengxi let her attend such an occasion?
"Mom Xu, has there ever been a brothel woman performing at the palace banquet?"
"How can there be? Naturally, some young ladies are in the limelight. How can people like us get on that table? Xu's mother seemed to have heard some jokes and felt that Wan Yuliang's question was really superfluous.
Hearing Xu's mother's answer, Wan Yiliang finally understood what Ouyang Chengxi's purpose was to do this. Since you intended to be against me, I will play this game with you to see who is the final winner.
