As night fell, the noisy Yangzhou City gradually fell silent, but the street in front of the Baihualou gradually became lively, one after another four-wheeled carriages stopped in front of the door, the people who came out of the carriage were all brightly dressed, and they looked at the people who were either rich or noble, talking and laughing with each other and entering the hall.

Nowadays, the civil and military elites and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty prefer to take the magnificent and convenient four-wheeled carriage, although the four-wheeled carriage is not as suitable for traveling on soft dirt roads as the two-wheeled carriage, but there is no problem in the city.

Therefore, four-wheeled carriages can be seen everywhere in the city today, and the sedan chair has become the symbol of middle and lower officials.

Ning Minghou Xue Wu stood at the door of the Baihua Building and greeted a group of powerful people in the Jiangnan realm, waiting for Li Yuntian's arrival.

The current Xue Wu can be described as high-spirited, and he is secretly glad that the army of the Liaodong Guard was arranged to be stationed in Qinglong City during the Battle of the Western Regions, otherwise how could he have made such a great feat, and then went to Caoyun Yamen to serve as the governor, which is a first-class fat shortage of the Ming Dynasty.

With the social and economic development of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of commerce and trade, water operation has become more and more busy as the most important mode of transportation, especially the ships on the Grand Canal are endless, which makes Caoyun Yamen have considerable oil and water.

When a four-wheeled carriage surrounded by soldiers of the Xiaowu Army appeared on the street, Xue Wu and the others, who were talking and laughing, immediately stepped up to greet them, and everyone knew that it was Li Yuntian who came.

At this moment, the entire street was under martial law, and the roads were lined with heavily armed soldiers, and only those who participated in the Oiran convention were allowed to enter the streets, and everyone else was blocked from the streets.

Although Li Yuntian didn't want to act with such fanfare, his current identity was different after all, and according to the custom, a prince with real power like Li Yuntian went out to patrol to clean the streets.

Therefore, Li Yuntian prefers private interviews with Weifu, otherwise he will not be able to get in touch with the real people, and naturally he will not be able to make targeted strategic adjustments.

In fact, Li Yuntian suddenly came to the scene of the Oiran Conference this time, and the most excited people were those who were ready to show their skills tonight, everyone knew that Li Yuntian was not only wise and brave, with both ability and political integrity, but also a famous merry prince, Hongluan became Li Yuntian's concubine after getting the Oiran.

Therefore, for these Qing people who are arrogant and arrogant and have a heart higher than the sky, they all want to stand out at tonight's Oiran Conference, hoping to be favored by Li Yuntian, and then enter the Zhongwang Mansion and become the concubine of the famous Zhongwang.

Of course, these Qing people did not know the origin of Li Yuntian and Hongluan, when Li Yuntian quelled the Jiaozhi rebellion, he saved the young Hongluan, and the two became acquainted.

Hongluan did not stay by Li Yuntian's side after winning the leader of the Oiran Conference, Li Yuntian is not the kind of womanizer, how can he easily take a concubine.

Later, the reason why Hongluan became Li Yuntian's concubine was the grace of the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, after Li Yuntian faked his death in the capital, Zhao Xinyue, Liu Min and Hongluan Dai Xiao went to the mourning hall to pay respects.

After learning about Li Yuntian and Emperor Xuande's hard work, the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family in order to appease Li Yuntian, who had suffered a lot of grievances, was also grateful to Zhao Xinyue, Liu Min and Hongluan for their deep love for Li Yuntian, so she sent a decree to let the three of them enter Li Yuntian's mansion.

It's a pity that the women in the Qinglou are most talked about about Hongluan's victory at the Oiran Conference, and in their opinion, only by winning the championship can they be worthy of Li Yuntian.

So it can be expected that tonight's Oiran competition will be extremely fierce, and the Qing people who are running for the Oiran are holding back their strength to perform in front of Li Yuntian, who has been the most distinguished guest at the Oiran Conference since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, not only as a prince but also as an emperor.

"Butterfly Dance, Prince Zhong really came to the Oiran Conference, and now those people are crazy, competing to dress up, and they all want Lord Zhong to take a look." In the backyard of Baihualou, in the courtyard where the Qingqi people were resting, when a young and beautiful white-clothed Qingqi person was looking at himself in a daze in the bronze mirror, a purple-clothed Qingqi person excitedly stepped forward and told her a good news excitedly.

"King Zhong is an immortal hero, and everyone wants to be favored by the prince." The Qingqi people, who were known as the Butterfly Dance, smiled and said to the purple-clothed Qingqi people, "Sister Hongluan didn't enter the palace because she won the Oiran, she has a deep marriage with the prince. ”

"Butterfly Dance, you are the best singer and dancer among all, and you are also the most beautiful, this year's leader must be yours." The purple-clothed Qingqi people couldn't help but show a regretful look on their faces, looked at the butterfly dance in the bronze mirror and said, these Qingqi people came to Yangzhou to prepare in order to win the first year, so they know each other very well, and the butterfly dance is better than other Qingqi people in terms of qualifications and appearance.

Therefore, in the eyes of the purple-clothed Qing people, Butterfly Dance is the most likely to win the leader of the Oiran Conference, and at the same time, it is also the most likely to win the favor of Li Yuntian and enter the Zhongwang Mansion.

"Sister, my sister doesn't have that luxury, she is satisfied if she can win a smile from the prince." Butterfly Wu smiled slightly when she heard this, and said lightly to the purple-clothed Qingqi people, she knew that it would not be easy to enter the Zhongwang Mansion.

The purple-clothed Qingqi knew that Butterfly Dance was weak in this battle for fame and fortune, and after laughing with Butterfly Dance for a few words, he got up and went back to his dresser to prepare for the evening competition.

"Butterfly dance, mom can look up to you this time, if you can make the prince of Zhong take a fancy to it, you will fly on the branches and become a phoenix in the future, and my mother will be stained with your light."

After the purple-clothed Qingqi left, Butterfly Dance couldn't help but fall into contemplation again, and let the two maids behind her groom her, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes to walk over quickly, and said to Butterfly Dance with a smile.

This middle-aged woman is the old bustard of the Qinglou where Butterfly Dance is located, surnamed Zhang, and the women in the Qinglou call her Zhang's mother, and they have put a lot of effort into Butterfly Dance, hoping that Butterfly Dance can win the championship at this Oiran Conference.

Butterfly Dance comes from Qingfeng Building in Songjiang Mansion, Qingfeng Building is the largest green building in Songjiang City, and has never won the championship at the Oiran Conference.

If Butterfly Dance can win the Oiran Conference this time, then it can be said that it has broken the famine of Songjiang Mansion, which is the lifelong ambition of Zhang's mother, she also participated in the Oiran Conference when she was young, but she failed miserably.

"My daughter remembers, she will do her best." Butterfly Dance knew Zhang's mother's thoughts, so she smiled softly at Zhang's mother, signaling that she would do her best to compete.

"Butterfly dance, my mother told you that your father and mother are suffering now, as long as you can get the grace of the loyal prince, then as long as the loyal prince says a word, they can get out of the sea of suffering." Zhang's mother was still a little uneasy, so she whispered, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must capture the heart of Prince Zhong, a romantic person like Prince Zhong usually pities the jade." ”

"My daughter understands." Hearing Zhang's mother mention her family, Diewu's heart couldn't help but sink suddenly, with a gloomy look on her face, and then bowed to Zhang's mother and said.

"Mom went and check out how they were ready." Seeing this, Zhang's mother nodded with satisfaction, got up and went to investigate the military situation, wanting to know if the other Qingqi people had used any surprising winning tricks.

"There's a box of purple rouge missing, you go to Baihualou's sister to get a box." After Zhang's mother left, the maid with a melon seed face among the two maids who dressed Diewu glanced at the dressing box in front of her and said to the other maid with a goose egg face.

"It's weird, I saw it just now." The egg-faced maid muttered to herself suspiciously, and got up to look for the rouge box.

"Miss, you really have to hand it over." After the goose-egg-faced maid left, the melon-faced maid took out a white silk full of handwriting from her arms and handed it to Butterfly Dance with a worried face.

"This is my last chance, I must rescue my father and them, so that those bad people can be brought to justice." Butterfly Wu stretched out her hand to take the white silk, and said with a resolute expression that she must rescue her parents and others so that they would not suffer.

"Miss, Lord Zhong is a close minister next to the Son of Heaven, as soon as you take out this case, you will stab the case to the sky, in case they do anything in it, then Miss will be implicated." The melon-faced maid hesitated for a moment, and reminded worriedly, "Besides, even if Lord Zhong takes over the case, then presumably someone else will try it, and it is difficult for those people in the officialdom to protect each other impartially, and it is not easy for the young lady's grievances to be washed away." ”

"As long as the prince Zhong takes over the case, then my father's case will be turned over, the prince is a master of trial cases, and the merits of the case can be seen through at a glance."

Butterfly Dance knew that the melon-faced maid was worried about her safety, so she took the melon-seed-faced maid's hand and said apologetically, "It's just that this will implicate you." ”

"Miss, where is this, if I hadn't been taken care of by Miss all these years, I would have been forced to pick up customers, Miss gave money to cure my mother's illness, and let my brother marry a daughter-in-law, I will be Miss in my life." The melon-faced maid hurriedly shook her head, and said with red eyes.

"If my sister can escape this catastrophe this time, I will definitely help you redeem yourself and get you out of this fire pit." Butterfly Dance's eyes were also a little moist, she and the melon seed-faced maid were both hard-working people, she was implicated in her father's unjust case and entered the Qinglou, and the melon-seed-faced maid was sold because of her family's poverty.

"Miss, you will perform on stage in a while, let's not talk about those unhappy things, when Miss gets the grace of the prince this time, then Miss will no longer have to stay in this Fengyue place."

Seeing this, the melon seed face maid hurriedly smiled and changed the topic, the success or failure of the matter depends on Butterfly Dance's performance tonight, Butterfly Dance can only get close to Li Yuntian if she obtains the Oiran, and then hands the form to Li Yuntian, so that others can't interfere.

Butterfly Dance bowed her head slightly when she heard this, tried to calm down her somewhat excited mood, and stuffed the white silk she was holding tightly in her hand into the belt around her waist.

It is worth mentioning that this form of Butterfly Dance was written at noon, so the ink had just dried not long ago, and since Baihualou was surrounded by heavy troops, the Qing people got the information that Li Yuntian was coming, but they didn't get confirmation from the official.

Butterfly Dance was very surprised by this, she never imagined that Li Yuntian, who had a lot of opportunities, would come to the Oiran Conference to join in the fun, which gave her a good opportunity to avenge her father, so she quietly wrote down the letter and prepared to present it to Li Yuntian at the Oiran Conference.

Although Diewu knew that her actions were very reckless, not only putting her in danger, but also implicating Zhang's mother and others, she had no other choice, and no one except Li Yuntian could help her solve the old case that had been closed.

At this moment, Butterfly Dance would never have thought that she had inadvertently ruined Li Yuntian's plan and set off a storm in Jiangnan.
