When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 1104: Queen: This girl is quite handsome!
The stage is five or six feet high, with copper lanterns wrapped around it, ready for the night.
And now on the stage, the dancers were spinning in their red silk shoes. The red ribbons were spinning as the silver bells on their ankles rustled, making a string of clear sounds, as if tying the summer sun shower to the whiteness of the snow.
On both sides of the stage, the nobles had their own sheds that had been built earlier as viewing seats.
People crowded together, craning their necks to watch the performance on the stage. The vendors moved their stalls slightly back, and the lingering aroma of food in baskets of all sizes mixed together.
Children sat on the shoulders of adults, girls shyly grabbed their lovers' sleeves, and there were many martial artists with excellent skills who could jump onto the roofs of shops on the streets of the market with a single flip.
The red skirts fluttered with the music. At the moment when the dancers threw their sleeves towards the sky, the daytime fireworks exploded again in the sky, and various colors used the azure blue as the cloth to embellish a picture scroll.
Cheers and applause rang out.
Where the shed is on the right side of the stage.
Su Changan looked at the stage with strange eyes and felt like laughing. The dancing was quite good, but after the dance was over, someone held up a huge sign with the words [Qian He] written on it.
"This is the so-called spokesperson. The person leading the dance above is Xie Caicai, the courtesan of Green Cui Tower, who is also the spokesperson for Qianhe Silk Shop. Today's celebration is said to be held in Flower Street, but in fact the financial sponsors behind it are these shop owners. They are all following Dianjiangchun's lead in launching new products and also following Dianjiangchun's lead in hiring spokespersons to sell them."
Qi Pei walked up to Su Changan, holding a plate with some snacks and fruits on it.
Su Changan looked at Qi Pei, thanked him and took the fruit with both hands.
However, Su Changan just noticed that Qi Pei was not only like this to him, but also took special care of the maids in the shed, so it was not that he was taking special care of him.
On the contrary, he didn't care about Su Linhan and others.
The reason why he is in this shed is not because his identity has been exposed or anything, but because he can't refuse the hospitality.
In fact, according to Su Changan's idea, he could just stand there and watch, and leave when he had seen enough.
But unexpectedly, Qi Pei and Cui Yuer were too enthusiastic and wanted to drag him and Maomao to come to the tent to watch the performance.
And according to Qi Pei, there are some really exciting and interesting things to see, and the location here is very good.
Qi Pei was leaning against the side of the shed, facing the stage, and he also hung the cloth beside him, which looked a bit strange.
At this moment, another person came on the stage. Qi Pei took off the wine gourd from his waist and started drinking casually.
But after taking a sip, Qi Pei turned his head to look at Su Changan, and picked up the wine gourd: "Would you like to drink? Ordinary apricot blossom wine is not easy to get drunk."
Su Changan shook his head.
Qi Pei smiled gently and looked at Su Changan who was wearing a mask: "When you eat later, face this way, no one can see your face under the mask, so don't worry."
Qi Pei pointed to the cloth he had just hung.
Su Changan suddenly realized and looked at Qi Pei with some surprise.
Because I didn't expect Qi Pei to be so thoughtful.
Bang!
But at this moment, a blue firework bloomed in the sky.
Qi Pei glanced sideways, then suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Changan: "Where did your family come from to do business in the capital?"
Su Changan looked at Qi Pei: "Jizhou in Yandi."
Qi Pei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Changan with a softer look in his eyes: "Did you sign a contract to sell yourself or did you volunteer to work for your master?"
This is a bit far off.
But when Su Changan looked at Qi Pei, he understood the meaning of Qi Pei's words, and he had a better impression of this big sister who looked rough on the outside but was extremely delicate on the inside.
Looking at Qi Pei, Su Changan said, "I volunteered."
Selling oneself often means having nothing left, with nowhere to go but to sell oneself.
If it is voluntary, it means finding a job to make money.
There is a huge gap between the two, a world of difference.
Qi Pei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I have a sister who went to Yan to be an official. She wrote to me and said that the people in Yan were suffering, especially those closer to the border."
It seems that Qi Pei is such a person. If some words are inappropriate, they will not be said. Qi Pei changed the subject, looked at the fireworks in the sky, and even more looked at the zither performance on the stage, and couldn't help frowning: "Your Majesty is also from Yandi, but what you see now are all invented by your Majesty. Especially this spokesperson."
Su Changan looked at Qi Pei, not understanding why Qi Pei said this.
Qi Pei looked at Su Changan and then at the cat hiding behind Su Linhan and Cui Yuer: "Your eldest daughter said that she didn't come out to play this time, but to see the Oiran. Is your master also looking for the Oiran to be the brand spokesperson for your cushions?"
Su Changan naturally heard what Maomao said to Cui Yuer and the others while he was sitting there.
But since Qi Pei said so, Su Changan said: "She should have this plan. I can never guess what the lady is thinking."
Qi Pei looked at Su Changan with a smile: "I didn't ask you, I was just talking to myself. You are just a little maid, what do you know? But the queen came up with this endorsement..."
At this point, Qi Pei turned his head and looked at the courtesan who was playing on the stage: "It helped a lot of people. Besides, I think the queen should have this plan, after all, she is such a gentle person."
Su Changan was stunned.
Qi Pei looked at Su Changan and smiled, "You have the old habit of talking to yourself. You don't want to think about what to say to me. Just think of it as me talking to myself. When I'm with you, I can always say more and feel more comfortable. With them, it's awkward."
Qi Pei glanced at Su Linhan and others.
Su Changan knew that Qi Pei was actually talking about identity.
I feel very comfortable being with the maids.
This is not the case with these young ladies who are of noble status.
Qi Pei looked at Su Changan and continued, "But I said that I helped a lot of people because, thanks to this spokesperson, many courtesans in the red-light district were chosen to be spokespersons and earned a lot of money, so many people redeemed themselves. But also because of being a spokesperson, after redeeming themselves, it is not that they have no way to make money. And in addition..."
Qi Pei raised his hand and pointed at the people around the courtesans next to the stage: "Some of the courtesans had children who were redeemed by the merchants as part of the endorsement. Especially Dian Jiangchun, in addition to Qu Youwei, they also found other people, including some dancers, so that many of them had an identity protection. If they want to redeem themselves, it's too difficult, and it's too difficult for them to save themselves, but the emergence of this endorsement has given many people hope."
After Qi Pei drank two sips of wine, he squinted and looked at the crowd. With the corners of his mouth raised, he casually hung the gourd on his waist, and then looked at Su Changan: "You can't eat these things while I'm here. Let's go and do something. If you don't want to be a maid anymore, you can come to Qingpingfang to find me. When you get there, just find someone on the street who looks like a gangster and tell them my name. They will take you to me, and I will help you find a job that doesn't require you to be a servant."
As he spoke, Qi Pei retracted his hands back to his abdomen and bent down to pick up a wooden stick standing on the side of the shed.
The moment he walked out of the shed, several strong men outside the shed followed Qi Pei into the crowd.
Su Changan looked at Qi Pei's back, then lowered his head to look at Wu Daming who was walking over at this time: "Do you feel that this girl is very handsome?"
Wu Daming bit a piece of dessert in his mouth, looked at Qi Pei's back, and nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
But it's also this time.
The sound of the huge robotic arm reached Su Changan's ears.
Then, someone exclaimed!
All eyes were fixed on the sky in the direction of Flower Street.
I saw a woman in mid-air, like a fairy from heaven, slowly falling towards the stage.
But at this moment, the music started to sound.
It was actually the music composed for "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
"It's Qu Youwei!" Someone recognized the beautiful woman who was suspended by the wires in the sky and hung in the air by many mechanical arms.
No one knew how the woman in the air got to the sky, but the daytime fireworks were blooming behind her!
Countless petals fell into the flower basket carried by the silk thread of the mechanic's arm.
When the wind blows, it's everywhere in the sky.
The silk dress ripples and the sleeves dance lightly.
It's no wonder that so many people here come to see her. Her mere appearance is as stunning as the imperial concubine of the past.
Naqu Youwei appeared in everyone's sight, becoming clearer and clearer, more beautiful than any other scenery.
And just on the ground, Su Changan noticed that Qi Pei was hitting a thief with the stick in his hand!
Compared to the sky, Su Changan prefers to look at the ground!
Su Changan had always thought this girl was very cool since he knew she was from a gang. Now, she looks even more cool!
Snap!
But it’s also this time.
Su Changan noticed something.
