After my voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the imperial court

The top players of each building have to go around the inner city, so people who have seen the top players will go to Qingyu Lake and stand in a position with a good view after following them for a while.

Before Shenshi time, the observation tower of Qingyu Lake was full of people, and there were rows of passenger boats on the lake. Only people with status could sit on the boats.

The madams on each floor were waiting outside their passenger boats early in the morning, and they would immediately greet old customers with smiles as soon as they saw them arriving.

It was the first time for Liu Baihu and the others to attend the oiran banquet. They took leave from Kan Chaoyan early in the morning and went home to change their clothes and come to Qingyu Lake.

The old madam who smiled at Qinglou recognized Liu Baihu and the others at a glance, and quickly brought people forward to greet them: "I have met you all, sir. Hello, sir. The wing that the girl has arranged for you is on this side. I will take you all over there."

Liu Baihu said with a smile: "The old bustard is here."

When Liang Baihu saw the old bustard leading them to the boat in front, he walked quickly to Liu Baihu and whispered, "Your Mu Nanjin is really generous."

Liu Baihu rolled his eyes at him: "What do you mean by my family? Your words can easily be misunderstood."

"She is your subordinate. What is she if she is not from your family?"

Liu Baihu was too lazy to argue with him about this matter.

Liang Baihu continued: "As far as I know, the boat space in the front costs at least 500 taels, and the space in the front is even more expensive."

Mu Nanjin only invited 20 people from 100 households to be guarded by Jinyi, which is ten thousand taels. What's more, there are dozens of people in Qianhu, plus Kan Chaoyan and the others, tens of thousands of taels of silver were spent on the seats alone. It must be said that Mu Nanjin is very heroic.

Liu Baihu was slightly startled: "Five hundred taels per position?"

It's equivalent to more than a year of service.

Jiang Baihu stepped in: "Do you need money for a boat seat? I thought you only need money for spending money on the boat."

Liang Baihu explained: "This symbolizes a status, and of course it costs money. You have to pay extra to eat and drink there."

Liu Baihu looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know so clearly? You are not a regular customer, are you?"

"With my little monthly salary, can I become a regular customer?" Liang Baihu said angrily: "The reason why I know so clearly is because one year the oiran banquet happened to be my day off, and I came to ask about boarding the ship out of boredom. I didn’t know it cost so much money to get on the ship.”

He pointed to the rear of the passenger ship: "Have you seen the last ship?"

Hundreds of households looked around and saw that the boats were lined up very far away. They tried their best not to see the last boat.

Everyone said: "I didn't see it."

Liang Baihu looked helpless: "I spent ten taels of silver to sit on the last boat. Not to mention watching the oiran, I couldn't even hear the music. As Mu Nanjin's invitation said, I could only admire the music. Watching the moon over the lake.”

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed at his words.

At this time, the madam stopped, pointed to the big flower boat beside her and said: "My lords are here, please get on the boat. Your private room is on the third floor."

Jiang Baihu said with a smile: "The third floor is good. You can see the scenery farther away from the third floor."

Before Liang Baihu got on the boat, he couldn't help but ask the madam: "How much does a seat here cost?"

"This..." The madam didn't quite understand what he meant by asking.

"I'm just curious."

The madam couldn't help laughing: "To tell you what to say to your lord, the first floor of this ship is calculated by seats, which is one thousand taels per seat. The second floor is calculated by tables, which is ten thousand taels per table. The third floor only has one cabin. That’s thirty thousand taels for a wing.”

"Thirty thousand taels?"

Hundreds of households stared wide-eyed.

Twenty of them spent 30,000 taels a night, plus the cost of food, how much did that cost?

No wonder the brothel holds an oiran banquet every year. The money is really good.

The old bustard explained to them: "In fact, the fare for boarding the ship in previous years only cost five hundred taels. It's just that this year more people are grabbing tickets than before, so the money for the tickets has been raised."

Liang Baihu asked again curiously: "How much silver does it cost to get on the first ship in line?"

"A seat on the first ship costs 10,000 taels."

Liang Baihu didn't want to ask anymore. If he asked again, he would be slapping himself in the face.

He put his arm around the shoulders of Liu Baihu and Jiang Baihu: "Let's get on the boat."

After they boarded the boat, the man beckoned them upstairs.

When they get to the private room on the third floor, there will be two other maids waiting on them.

"I have lived for decades, and this is the first time I have enjoyed it."

Liang Baihu walked to the terrace outside the wing and looked towards the viewing building. Although it was still some distance away from the viewing platform and couldn't see his face, he could still see the figures upstairs.

Then, a figure walked into his sight.

"Hey, everyone, come and see, is that Mu Nanjin?"

Liu Baihu had no intention of moving. He took a sip of tea and said, "It's not like you don't know her. Could it be that she doesn't know?"

"No. She is very different today. You will know when you come out and take a look."

The other households walked to the terrace one after another and looked in the direction Liang Baihu pointed. A young girl wearing a white dress came towards them.

The black hair on her temples is rolled up and hanging on both sides, revealing her exquisite facial features. The black silk is draped on the back of her head, and there are exquisite hairpins in her hair. Her eyebrows are like mountain paintings, her eyes are like clear lakes, and her delicate lips are like pink peaches. The plum blossom is pink and tender, like a winter plum transformed into a plum demon. It is cold and beautiful, and has a cold feeling that makes people not feel close to it.

In the eyes of hundreds of households, they felt that each other was both strange and familiar, a bit like Mu Nanjin, but not quite like him.

After all, they were used to Mu Nanjin's appearance in Feiyu clothes, but now that she was wearing other dresses and light makeup, she was really unrecognizable.

Jiang Baihu kept staring at the little girl's face: "She looks like Mu Nanjin, but she doesn't feel much like her."

He wasn't too sure anymore.

"What's so different about her today that you can't even recognize her?"

Liu Baihu put down his tea cup and walked to the terrace. He saw Mu Nanjin who stopped two boats ahead.

His eyes widened in surprise: "My dear, this little girl looks so beautiful when dressed up."

She was prettier than any other courtesan he had ever seen, and even compared to the leading ladies in the brothel.

In fact, he used to think that Mu Nanjin was good-looking, but it was just covered up by her hateful thoughts.

Liang Baihu said: "It's really Mu Nanjin."

Mu Nanjin noticed someone was looking at her, looked up, took one look and then looked away.

[These hundreds of households are still handsome in their Feiyu suits, but they look so silly in their regular clothes. 】

Hundreds of households: "..."

"It's her without a doubt." Liang Baihu returned to the wing decisively, no longer causing trouble for himself.

Liu Baihu gritted his teeth and said, "You stinky girl, can't you spit out a few ivory tusks from your mouth?"

Others also returned to the wing.

The smiling madam walked up to Mu Nanjin and said, "Girl, you're here. The girl's makeup looks really good today."

Mu Nanjin said quietly: "I have nothing to do, come and take a look."

She slept until noon today before getting up to eat.

As soon as I was full, I was invited over by the owner of Yixinyuan.

Then he dressed her up from head to toe, saying that because the boss was dressed in a noble manner, the brothel also had dignity.

She let them go.

"Master Baihu, they are here, do you want to go up and meet them?"

Before Mu Nanjin could respond, a turtle man from Xiao Qinglou ran over and said, "Old Madam, there are guests on the third boat."

The madam said quickly: "Girl, I won't accompany you anymore."

Mu Nanjin watched the Madam and Turtle Gong leave in a hurry.

[Third ship? 】

[I remember that the third ship was left for the emperor, the queen mother and the empress. They all came? 】

"puff……"

Liu Baihu, who was drinking tea on the boat, almost choked on his tea when he heard his voice: "She also invited the emperor..."

He thought the person she invited was the princess, but he didn't expect that the emperor, queen and queen mother were also invited.

Hundreds of other households were also surprised.

Mu Nanjin decided to go and have a look.

She did not get closer, but saw the emperor coming to the third ship with a large group of people from a distance. The imperial guards in regular uniforms first searched the ship to make sure there were no assassins hidden inside before letting the emperor board the ship.

The Queen Mother and the Empress did not come.

The former was because he was frightened at Jingtuo Temple last time and did not want to leave the palace again. The latter paid attention to red tape and did not allow himself to mix with the brothel people, so he did not follow.

They didn't come, but the left and right prime ministers did.

[Hey, the Left Prime Minister is here. 】

[Isn’t Zuo Xiang afraid that the tigress at home will know that he came to see the oiran? 】

[However, he came with the emperor. Even if the tigress knew about it, he would still have an excuse to deal with the tigress at home. 】

Left Prime Minister: "..."

Really understand him.

The right minister sneered.

Zuo Xiang glanced at him coldly.

[The Right Prime Minister is also here. 】

[Did he report to his mother before he came? If I don't report it, I'll have to kneel in the ancestral hall again when I get home. 】

Prime Minister Zuo sneered: "Everyone is half-hearted and has the nerve to laugh at others."

Right Prime Minister: "..."

[It is better to be the emperor. Not only does he have great power, but he who wants to die will have to die. No one can control him yet, even if he has hundreds of civil and military officials and three thousand beauties in his harem, no one dares to control him. 】

The emperor laughed loudly.

[Unfortunately, being an emperor only has this benefit. 】

The emperor frowned: "..."

What are the benefits of being an emperor?

There are many good places, okay?

For example, he can marry whomever he wants, and there are more women in the palace than anyone else.

As if Mu Nanjin could hear his rebuttal, as soon as he had this idea, he heard Mu Nanjin's inner voice.

[The emperor looks good on the surface, but in fact he has a lot of control over some things. Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about the fact that there are three thousand beauties in the harem. The emperor didn't just stay with whoever he wanted. If he favored one person alone, some ministers would advise him not to favor a certain concubine alone or call the favored concubine a witch. If the emperor needed help from a minister, he would have to pretend to favor the concubine of that minister's family, and if necessary, he would have to work hard to give the concubine a child. Moreover, in order to spread his wings, the emperor behaved like a stallion. He spent the night with this concubine tonight and another concubine tomorrow night. His life was worse than that of a brothel boy. At least the boy would give him a reward after he slept with someone else. But as for the emperor, he still rewarded others after sleeping with him. How pitiful. 】

Everyone: "..."

emperor:"……"

It seemed so reasonable that he couldn't refute it.

[The saddest thing is that when the sons grow up, they fight for the throne and kill each other. In the end, I don’t know how many of the more than ten sons are left to give you incense. 】

emperor:"……"

He was no longer in the mood to admire the lake, the moon and the oiran.

Zuo Xiang saw that the emperor's expression was not good and he coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. She is just a little girl and doesn't understand anything."

The emperor glanced at him: "Then you can tell me what she said wrong?"

"Uh..." Zuo Xiang thought hard and couldn't think of how to refute Mu Nanjin.

The emperor snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, but heard Mu Nanjin's heartbeat shouting excitedly.

[Ouch, the Imperial Master is here. 】

[Ah, our governor is here too. 】

[Emperor, why don’t you come out to greet me quickly. 】

emperor:"……"

Are you not mistaken?

As an emperor, he still has to go out to greet others?

The emperor, who wanted to leave, snorted again and turned around to go up to the third floor.

[I want to personally serve the national preceptor and our family’s governor. 】

The emperor wondered: "Why didn't she come to serve me? She knew I was coming, but she didn't even come to say hello."

Left Prime Minister: "..."

There's no need to be jealous about this, right?

The right minister murmured: "Maybe she is not familiar with you, Your Majesty."

"Why are we not familiar with each other? She and I..."

The emperor stopped here.

It seems that he is not familiar with it.

He and Mu Nanjin had not even exchanged a few words.

The emperor blew his beard and stared at the other side.

It was a good thing that he didn't look. When he looked, he saw Mu Nanjin taking Feng Sinan and the governor onto the passenger ship next to him.

Feng Sinan and the governor naturally saw the emperor and immediately offered their hands to him and saluted him.

The emperor snorted softly, turned around, and saw two larger and more luxurious ships parked in front of their ship.

He deliberately asked loudly: "Why are there two ships ahead? Why were I put in the third ship instead of the first ship?"

The sound was so loud that it was difficult for Mu Nanjin not to hear it.

It was impossible for her to answer the emperor's words, but she couldn't help but say it in her heart.

[The first two boats are reserved for those who have been taken advantage of. Whoever can afford the price tonight will spend the night with the oiran. 】

[Emperor, if you want to make a lot of money, you can bid me a lot tonight, so that the people in front of you will mistakenly think that they can’t compete for the third ship and they will increase their prices desperately. Then we can make a lot of money. ,whee. 】

emperor:"……"

Did you ask him to come to the Courtesan just to do this?

Zuo Xiang couldn't help laughing and whispered: "I didn't expect that she has a business acumen."

The right prime minister tutted: "You're still praising her."

Feng Simonan and the governor walked to the third floor and sat down.

Feng Simonan smiled lightly: "I didn't expect that the governor would also come to attend the oiran banquet."

Not only did he not expect it, even Liu Baihu and the others were surprised.

I'm really curious as to how Mu Nanjin invited this person here.

The governor said quietly: "I didn't expect that the imperial master would also come to attend the oiran banquet."

Feng Simonan slowly put away his smile and said nothing, but turned his eyes elsewhere to look at the scenery in the distance.

As if waiting for someone to come, he kept looking around in the crowd but couldn't find the person he was looking for.

The governor asked again: "The Imperial Master is looking for someone?"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction of the observation building, and then a large group of monks appeared in everyone's sight.

Thank you for the mochi glutinous rice cakes and sea salt caramel, okay?
