Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Chapter 44 The Oiran's Struggle 9

The King of Qi knew how to avoid risks and avoid being overwhelmed by his achievements. He stopped all praises and gave new meaning to these high-quality flowers and cotton in the name of His Majesty.

It was not until the people's praises of His Majesty and the erection of monuments to praise his achievements reached Shengjing that His Majesty saw the memorial and received the news.

His Majesty was also very happy to learn that crops had grown in the northwest, and that these were new varieties that had never been seen before, including the poppy flowers that were popular in the harem. Most importantly, the King of Qi was a sensible man. He attributed all the achievements to His Majesty's diligence in governing and the peace in the world. He said that God was grateful for His Majesty's benevolence, so he bestowed so many rewards on the northwest, which was meant to praise His Majesty as a wise monarch who will be remembered throughout the ages.

After reading the praises in the memorial, His Majesty also became interested in the new improved varieties, so he sent people to deliver two carts of rewards and also ordered people to bring back some seeds.

……

Ting He had no idea that these seeds sown carelessly would bring such a great shock to the Northwest and Shengjing, and she was busy all day long for Wanhua Tower.

I finally managed to go out and wanted to go back to Jiangnan, but I was told that I couldn't leave the city without a travel permit...

Ting He: “…” She was really angry.

Mother Yang knew that Ting He wanted to go home, but she was not angry. Instead, she persuaded him:

"Whether this Wanhua Tower is a place where fairies gather or a place where fairies descend to the earth, it can't escape the world's disgusting gaze. No matter how it changes, it is still a brothel in essence. Although mom doesn't know who you are or where you come from, mom tells you that once you enter this brothel, even if you remain a virgin forever, you can't stop the world's ignorant gaze. It's better not to go back. If you go back, you will be drowned in those spit and can't survive."

Ting He listened to the madam's advice and understood that the ancient system and dogma were indeed unable to view a person correctly.

The madam was right. No matter how clean one was, after one returned home, those messy dirty words would cause secondary harm to others.

She was just doing her mission and didn't care about the false reputation. Death would be all the end of it. But it was different for the original owner. Even if she died, her reputation would not follow her to the grave. It would still be a topic of conversation for others. Who knew if the reputation of this prostitute would make the original owner crawl out of the underworld and strangle her to death.

Oh, it seems I still have to take it slow.

It would be better to start with the scholar, since he has appeared in Wanhua Tower before. Otherwise, we can ask the madam about it.

When the madam learned that Tinghe was looking for someone, she also recalled the details based on the description. Although they were always irrelevant, Tinghe said that the scholar was once followed by a woman dressed as a man.

Just this one sentence enlightened the madam, and she shouted:

"Oh~ You mean him? He's not a scholar, he's the only son of Prince Qi. Sir, you mean the woman dressed as a man beside him. I heard she came from Shengjing. She's very powerful."

Speaking of the Crown Prince, the madam had more to say:

"Hey, that woman is still pretending to be a man, with those willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, and curvy body. She doesn't even wear a fake beard. She has delicate eyebrows and long eyelashes that are so curly. Her eyebrows are dyed with black ink, her lips are bright red, and her widow's peak is hanging naked on her forehead. Who can't see it? She is deceiving herself. Oh, by the way, she is from a very powerful family, so don't say anything nonsense."

After saying this, he whispered unconsciously, patted his chest and looked around, which made Tinghe almost laugh out loud. After sending the madam away, Tinghe fell into deep thought.

Finally, I know the identity of that man. He is the only son of the King of Qi. However, as a prince, he is not a candidate. So why did he go to Jiangnan? And why did he go to the manor? If it weren't for the detoxification of taking off shoes in the manor, the original owner probably wouldn't have paid attention to it. To be honest, it was quite a fate. They met in a hurry five times and nodded goodbye in a hurry. It seems that the prince didn't like the original owner too much.

Because of this life-saving grace and the five-faced relationship, the original owner lost his life. No, there was also Hongying's life. Two lives, it's such a pity.

After determining the target, Ting He began to plan. When she learned that Princess Qi's birthday was about to come, her eyes lit up. The opportunity to get close to the Prince had come.

In order to prepare for the performances at the birthday banquet, Ting He patiently trained the entertainers to rehearse "Magu Celebrating Birthday", treating the entertainers as Magu and the Princess of Qi as the Queen Mother.

He also taught the dancers the flying dance of Yao Chi birthday celebration.

After rehearsing for three whole nights, Ting He was so tired that her back ached and her mouth was dry. When the madam learned that it was the princess' birthday, she sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she would go to pay her birthday wishes without asking for any appearance fee. This was exactly what the princess wanted, and the two of them hit it off.

……

Birthday celebration day.

It is no exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people. All the wealthy businessmen came with gifts. Before the banquet began, the princess invited them to the spacious area in the backyard. From a distance, they could see a lotus flower blooming in the air and slowly falling.

After everyone was seated, Ting He, who was wearing a veil, gestured to the dancers. Vocal music, stage, and dancers appeared at the same time. The dancers, who were flying on a piece of silk, showed off their skills one after another.

In order to prevent any accidents, Tinghe also equipped them with silk threads and ziplines, but they were difficult to see from a distance.

Under the stage setting, the dancers looked like real fairies from the Yaochi Lake, flying in the sky and hiding in the ground with graceful postures. The fragrant poppies fell from their heads one after another, and the scene was extremely shocking.

……

They were dressed in brocade feathered robes, and their light skirts fluttered in the wind, as if they were one with the world.

Their movements were graceful and smooth, like real fairies descending to earth, and their arms danced gently, as if they were depicting the colorful clouds in the sky.

During the dance, Tinghe endowed them with a fairy halo. The ribbons on their bodies fluttered in the wind, interweaving with the white mist under their feet, forming a magnificent picture.

The entire stage setting was illuminated by their flying dance moves, as if time had stopped.

The performance on the stage was in full swing, only Ting He was struggling to wave a palm-leaf fan, vigorously fanning the dry ice that had just been taken out of the system space.

……

After Feitian's birthday celebration was over, Magu's birthday offering came on stage. Tinghe had the scenery quickly replaced and a dreamy gauze curtain was hung up.

The performers performed with all their might, and the longevity peaches they held actually gave off a charming sweet aroma, making people curious about what the longevity peaches were made of.

When the courtesan who performed the Queen Mother received the birthday peach, all the performers gathered together, held up the birthday peaches and knelt down, saying:

"Congratulations to the princess on her birthday. May you live forever. Our performance group has specially sent a birthday peach cake to wish the princess eternal youth and forever eighteen years old."
