Chapter 287 A false alarm
"You two ladies, why don't you go in and hide for a while?"
As the surrounding people were gradually infected by the panic, out of caution, the eunuch in charge of guarding suggested to Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan.
Li Xuan also noticed something was wrong. Something seemed to have happened in the place where the lanterns were extinguished in front. People there were constantly pouring into the bright place.
But not long after, a group of strong men holding torches rushed to the place where the lanterns were extinguished.
As their torches brought light, the panic in the darkness seemed to dissipate a lot.
But even so, the eunuchs in colorful clothes did not take it lightly, but firmly protected the two princesses.
The eunuchs in colorful clothes formed a strong wall, blocking out the surrounding crowds, and did not let the two princesses be affected in any way.
Seeing that the commotion in the distance gradually subsided, the eunuchs in colorful clothes did not continue to ask for the two princesses to return to Hu Yulou to take shelter temporarily.
And as the torch illuminated the place, Li Xuan also relied on his own eyesight to see clearly what happened.
It turned out that a stage fell down, and the oiran on it was also badly thrown.
And as someone in the middle of the team suddenly stopped, the people behind them also huddled together.
As luck would have it, the lanterns above their heads were blown out by the wind, plunging them into darkness, which caused a commotion.
Now, as the goons from Flower Street came in to help with torches, they quickly straightened the collapsed stage.
The oiran who fell down also adjusted slightly, and then climbed back on the stage and continued her performance.
Li Xuan couldn't help but frown after seeing it. According to his estimation, the oiran must have suffered a serious fall.
Logically speaking, quitting the Oiran parade is the best choice.
Li Xuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
That's someone else's job, and he can't let a cat dictate what's going on.
As the fallen stage was re-righted, the parade that had stopped was ready to start again.
It's just that we need to wait a little before that. Those lanterns that have been blown out need to be lit again, otherwise the streets will not be bright enough.
It's a trivial matter if you can't see the road under your feet, but it's not good if you can't see the oiran's performance.
Someone took a long pole and lit a fire at the other end of the pole.
The goons from Flower Street neatly relit the red lanterns on the street, and the entire Flower Street lit up again.
After doing this, they hurriedly evacuated from the street so that the parade could move on.
As the interlude of the oiran parade ends, the joyful atmosphere is rekindled.
Flower Street became lively again, as if the previous riot had never happened.
Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan also breathed a sigh of relief.
As the previous parade stopped, the oiran in front of them had already danced twice before their eyes, and now sang a melodious ditty, changing the program.
It's not easy to be an oiran, and you must have a lot of talent.
Singing and dancing is a big test for your physical strength.
But fortunately, the team finally started to move again. Otherwise, if we continue to stay like this, no matter how versatile the oiran is, there will be times when his skills are exhausted.
As the oiran parade continued, Li Xuan also met the leader and the other four oirans as he wished.
To be honest, Li Xuan recognized them from their stage.
Because based on their appearance and talents, he didn't think there was anything special about these five people.
Maybe he saw too many beauties tonight. When Li Xuan saw the leader and the four oirans, he didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.
In terms of appearance, there is no oiran who can stand on the stage who is not good-looking.
It's just that they are plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, each with its own merits.
As for their acting talents, Li Xuan didn't see anything unique about them.
Even the leader just moved a bed, half-lying on it, gently shaking a painting fan, and looking at the people in the audience with a drawn look.
I don’t know whether it was they tourists who came to see the show or the leader.
Just from this weird talent show, we can really see that this leader is different.
Not to mention, even if she lies on the stage and looks at her, she can still make the people in the audience who like her scream and act wildly.
To be honest, Li Xuan felt a little disappointed with this leader and the four oirans. He felt that they were not as attractive as Hu Yulou's black-robed oiran.
"It seems like this thing is just a packaged game."
"Whoever packages it well will be more popular."
Li Xuan curled his lips, looking a little disdainful.
Moreover, the leader and the four major oirans were obviously not as dedicated as the other oirans. It seemed that they began to drift away after becoming famous.
Thinking back to the beginning, I'm afraid there was a time when they performed hard during parades.
Just like the oiran who fell off the stage earlier, she insisted on completing her performance even though she was injured.
Because this is a very rare opportunity for her.
If you can make a name for yourself in the oiran parade, your life will definitely be much more comfortable in the future.
Each brothel can only send one oiran, which shows how fierce the competition is.
If she fails the Oiran Parade this month, I'm afraid it won't be her turn next time.
Soon, the first round of oiran parade was over.
As a stage carried by eight strong men came to the central intersection of Flower Street, dozens of magnificent peonies were thrown onto the stage and landed at the feet of the oiran on the stage.
The oiran smiled coquettishly, thanked everyone in the audience, and greeted familiar patrons warmly.
From now on, every time the stage passes the central intersection, peonies exchanged for last month's sales will be thrown onto it.
There are many people, and naturally there are also few people.
Li Xuan saw the most pitiful oiran, with only a few sparse peonies at his feet, looking very deserted.
But even so, the oiran maintained perfect expression control and continued the oiran parade.
And as this continued, Li Xuan soon met Hu Yulou's black-robed oiran again.
It's just that she hasn't received last month's settlement yet, but her feet are already covered with a thick layer of peonies.
Moreover, Li Xuan saw that the black-robed oiran had already taken off his black robe at this time, leaving only two cool pieces of cloth on his body, revealing large areas of healthy wheat-colored skin.
The black robe that she originally wore turned into a dance prop in her hand, dancing fiercely with her movements.
The back of the black robe had gold and red stripes. She danced the black robe, using the colors on it to embellish her dance, which made her dance even more mysterious and charming.
Seeing Hu Yulou's stage filled with peonies, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out around Li Xuan and others.
"Ayimu, well done!"
"As expected of the oiran of our Hu Yulou!"
"Ayimu, Ayimu..."
Only then did Li Xuan learn that Hu Yulou's oiran was called Ayimu.
"It's really an exotic name."
Li Xuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the eye-catching Ayimu on the stage.
Her dancing figure is always so dazzling.
Li Xuan also saw many talented people dancing in the palace, but no one could compare with Ayimu.
Ayimu's dance is already a true art.
Moreover, although Ayimu's skin is not the mainstream white jade beauty type in Daxing, her healthy wheat-colored skin adds a different kind of beauty to her.
Especially her healthy figure, which she has developed through dancing all year round, is completely different from other oirans.
Ayimu's forearms and thighs are full of strength and elasticity at first glance, making people want to try the feel.
The peonies at Ayimu's feet were obviously rewards for impressing Brother Fu.
If someone sees Ayimu's dance for the first time, it is normal to have such an impulse.
As Ayimu's stage passed the central intersection of Flower Street, her last month's settlement peonies were also thrown up.
There are quite a few, and their results are better than those of the previous oirans.
Ayimu almost ran out of room to stay, and the stage was covered with peonies.
Ayimu's lips moved slightly, revealing a proud and naughty smile. Even Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan, who were also women, took a look.
None of them noticed that the corners of their mouths twitched slightly in response to Ayimu's smile.
Li Xuan took a look around the oiran parade and already understood that these oirans provided more emotional value. If they relied solely on their own bodies, they would not be able to reach this point.
The second round of the parade slowly began on Ayimou's stage. After the last round, the oiran parade was about to end. Finally, the number of flowers on each stage was counted to determine the leader and the four oirans.
The spectators who had already watched one round started to support their favorite oiran. Those who had no money just supported themselves and joined in the excitement around the oiran's stage.
Those who have money will do whatever they can to make money. Even if they just buy a peony and throw it up, they will get heartfelt thanks from the courtesans.
If you meet some courtesans who don't do well tonight, you can say a few more words.
If enough comfort is given, there may be a chance to comfort the oiran's lonely mood in the evening.
Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan were so strapped for money that even when they saw Ayimu, whom they liked, passing in front of them, they failed to throw peonies, but only waved hello.
Unexpectedly, Ayimu saw these two handsome and lovely young men, winked at them, and gave them a playful wink, making Princess Ankang and Princess Yuanan giggle.
The people next to her sighed with envy, and waved harder to greet Ayimu, hoping that they could also get a playful wink.
But at this time, on the opposite side of Flower Street, the leader's stage came to the central intersection.
Then a large number of peonies slanted down, almost pouring out of the huge stage.
At this moment, Li Xuan also understood why the leader was lying on a bed.
Peonies submerged her figure, making her feel as comfortable as soaking in a sea of flowers.
Being overwhelmed by so many peonies, the leader couldn't help but smile proudly.
The people who had cheered for Ayimu before could not help but fell silent when they saw this scene.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how big the gap is between the two.
But Ayimu looked calmly at the proud leader opposite, with an indifferent smile appearing on his face.
Seeing Ayimu with such an expression, Li Xuan couldn't help but wonder:
"Doesn't she have any other way to win?"
Thank you to all book friends for your monthly support.
Brothers, if the sun stops moving, your eyes will go blind.
I will never be blind again, woo woo woo
