I started a boy band in ancient times

On the night of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the night river in Xishi shocked Hongzhou Pavilion.

When Chu Qi boarded the wine boat, he made some preparations in his heart, deliberately avoiding crowds, and went to remote places.He also wanted to sneak around in the next few days, and he needed to be cautious and low-key, so as not to cause any trouble.

As a result, he had just sat down and the chair was not warm enough, when he was "invited" away by the madam, saying that Boss Peng had something to ask him for.

Chu Qi was full of suspicion. He suspected that someone had discovered him as soon as he ran out of the mansion, but after thinking about it, those people didn't need such a roundabout way to catch him, so he followed him calmly.

Jinghongzhou Pavilion looks majestic from the outside, but it feels spacious inside. The decoration is extravagant and rich, and the glitter of jewelry makes people dizzy.The three-story platform is exquisitely designed, and it is easy to get dizzy and lose your way if you are not led by someone you are familiar with.

This is only the second time for Chu Qi to come here, but as soon as he went upstairs, he found that the design of the wine boat has these wonderful features. There is a corridor on the left and a turning on the right. Changes are very sensitive, and I'm afraid I can't remember the direction.

The person who led the way was polite, for fear that he would turn back because he thought it was troublesome. It took him a lot of effort to lead him to the place, and there were quite a few guards guarding the door.

The meeting room is quite spacious, with two screens and bead curtains separating the inside and the outside, it can be seen that it can be used for both meetings and living.Peng Yongyan frowned slightly, and was pacing with his head bowed and his hands behind his back. Seeing him appear, even the beard of immortality became worldly, and it shook suddenly, as if to "welcome" Chu Qi's arrival.

Chu Qi felt more and more difficult, and was also curious about Peng Yongyan's purpose for finding him. When he saw someone, he was polite first: "Boss Peng, don't come here without any problems."

"Sir, long time no see."

After chatting about the cold and warm, Chu Qi took a sip of the good wine that surprised Hongzhouxie in a leisurely manner, and then found some good words and boasted wildly. He looked like he had plenty of time, and waited for Peng Yongyan to speak, as expected , without saying a few words of small talk, he mentioned insincerely: "For some reason, young master Ming doesn't come to my place these days. I thought it was because of poor hospitality and neglected him. But listening to the crown prince just praised him, it seems that my family There is nothing dissatisfied with Jiufang. Haha... Shizi has a close relationship with Young Master Ming, what has he been up to recently?"

Hearing this, Chu Qi almost choked on the wine, but he didn't know that what Peng Yongyan had been holding back for a long time was actually asking Mingyao's whereabouts?He had imagined many reasons why Peng Yongyan came to him, but he didn't expect it to be this one.

"Prime Minister Ming found out about his frequent visits to brothels, and Prime Minister Ming was so furious that he was fined for three months of confinement, and he had to memorize and copy books every day. Even if he was released after three months, he probably wouldn't have the chance to come to Boss Peng's place." Chu Qi gave a half-truth and half-fake explanation, grabbed another handful of peanuts, smiled and said, "I didn't know that Mingyao came to Boss Peng's place so diligently? It's only been a few days, and Boss Peng thinks so Him? Oh...could it be that he owed some romantic debts here?"

"Three months..." Peng Yongyan's face was not very good-looking, and he smiled bitterly, "Oh, I owe some debts."

His eyes flickered slightly, he thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, as if he had made some decision: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have great supernatural powers and are highly valued by that one. I don't know when you plan to enter the palace in the near future?"

Chu Qi glanced at him cautiously: "What?"

"Hey, son, you know that I have been doing this kind of business in the capital for nearly 20 years. I have lived a prosperous life, but I don't seem to have much hope. Humans always hope to develop to a higher place." Peng Yongyan stroked She raised her beard and gestured upwards, "Isn't that right? I heard that Princess Beiyong had ulterior motives, and this marriage fell through. The Queen Mother and all the ministers are worrying about this matter, and they all want to choose the right person to send to the palace... There are some opportunities here.”

"..." Chu Qi laughed, "Boss Peng, you are not so timid, you want me to help you send someone to His Majesty's pillow? With Yingyingyanyan here?"

Chu Qi felt very strange when he heard this. He didn't feel angry, nor did he find it ridiculous. He just instinctively thought that this was not Peng Yongyan's real purpose.

Not to mention anything else, there was a major incident in the palace a few days ago, and even the burnt Ziwei Hall hadn't been repaired, and no one dared to mention the draft, even if Peng Yongyan wanted to block people, move this It's too early to think.What's more, even if you want to prepare for unexpected needs and use his relationship to unblock the operation, you should first treat him well and proceed step by step. How can you just cover the whole thing after the second meeting?

"Don't dare, don't dare, just think about it." Peng Yongyan hit the snake with the stick, and instantly changed the angle, "The prince came to me twice, and haven't seen any girl carefully yet? It's really my negligence as a boss Alright, I'll ask someone to invite the best ones! Although Jinghongzhou Pavilion is mainly in the wine business, I guarantee that the girls here are as intoxicating as those fine wines, strong or mellow, and will never Let the prince down, if the prince has his eyes on anyone, he can choose it at will."

Chu Qi thought to himself that this wave of bribes is generous, but what good is it for him to ask for girls as a boy group? If he is replaced by a few men with good looks, outstanding business, and docile personality, he might not be able to do so. Heartbroken, Peng Yongyan tried his best to help out in whatever he wanted to do.

But first you need to know what he wants to do.

Chu Qi shook the wine cup, watching the clear liquid shake with it, and said, "Boss Peng, to tell you the truth, whether it is me or Mingyao, there is only a chance to visit the palace at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in four days. After that, I can’t say how long I’ll have to wait. But let’s talk about the ugly things first, I don’t have much ability to take people off, and I can’t even take care of myself—I still sneaked out this trip.”

"I don't know what you are worried about when you can't contact Mingyao. Is it because you tricked him into doing something for you? Or is he just using him without knowing it? But I believe that Mingyao is not stupid, and he won't be in a big situation You can't tell what is right. And what you want me to do for you, you have to have a certain idea in your heart. I am not as familiar with you as you are with Mingyao, and I am not as easy to talk to as him, but Boss Peng, I really want to I know what's bothering you—because I have an unkind request, too."

Chu Qi's expression was sincere, not like a joke, he looked at Peng Yongyan calmly, and his words came from his heart.Peng Yongyan's expression changed slightly again, but this time there was no exaggeration that he deliberately pretended to be before, but just a sigh.

"My son, for some reason, I'm sorry I can't reveal too much to you, but in fact, young master Ming was indeed used by me." Peng Yongyan closed his eyes, and a trace of depression appeared on his still handsome face. "Once upon a time, I gave him a token from my youth. When he wore it into the palace, he happened to be seen by that person. When I saw Young Master Ming next time, he had another piece on his body." The things she used... I know, she recognized it. Since then, I have often given Mr. Ming some novelty things, and when he brings them into the palace the next day, I can occasionally taste them The food brought out from the palace to share, listening to him say a few interesting things about her...ha...but that's all."

Chu Qi's face changed when he heard it halfway, and he immediately started a brainstorming: What can't be revealed too much... There are only three places for Mingyao to enter the palace, the place of the empress dowager, the place of the queen mother and the princess, and the place of the emperor and the empress.The Empress Dowager is only seventy years old, Princess Zhaohua is only as old as Ji, and the Empress is also very young. Besides, she is the elder sister of Mingyao, so it doesn't mean that he won't know about it. only--

...Chu Qi suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager Chu Jingxian had a bad relationship with her elder brother King Jing. She was indifferent to the late Emperor and indifferent to Liu Jiyue. She only loved her daughter, Princess Zhaohua, and the prime minister's son, Mingyao. .

…At first, I only thought that Mingyao was a friend of women, everyone could eat, suitable for all ages, but now I feel strange no matter how I think about it.

"It's all..." Chu Qi tried his best to organize his words, "It's been more than 20 years."

As far as he knew, Chu Jingxian entered the palace shortly after the first emperor ascended the throne. No matter whether he was happy or not, more than twenty years have passed, and even the old passionate feelings should have been wiped out in the long distance. .

"So what about 27 years? For me, the days without her are nothing more than repeated life, in the blink of an eye." Peng Yongyan laughed at himself, "My son, I say this because I believe in your character. Last time you didn't think much about it. I always remember jumping into the river to save people."

Chu Xi said: "Saving people is not directly related to keeping secrets. You don't have to give me money. If this is true, spreading the secrets of the palace will only make people laugh, and the palace will definitely not admit it. In the end, you are the only one." Unlucky, why do you have to tell me, aren't you afraid that I will tell King Jing?"

Peng Yongyan let out a cold snort in his nasal cavity, and his eyes became sharper: "How could he not know my existence? If it wasn't for his design at the beginning... Heh, I honestly do business in Beijing, there is no special reason, even if I respect the king, Naturally, I can't catch up with me. But don't even think about spying on the palace, luckily I met Young Master Ming..."

Chu Qi was convinced, one or two, relying on Mingyao to hide from Chu Jingzhong's eyeliner.Mingyao turned out to be so easy to use. He is not good at singing and dancing, and his communication business is basically professional. If there is someone next time, he will be charged as Mingyao's manager.

He suppressed these thoughts: "Boss Peng, don't you just want to find someone to confide in this confession? I won't talk nonsense, but I can't help you much."

"I'm just... afraid that Mingyao will find out what I'm thinking, and I don't want to come again." Peng Yongyan said, "But when I think that there will be no news for at least three months and I don't know my safety, I feel depressed again. My son, you I also often go in and out of the palace, I don't ask for much, and I can be satisfied with a word of well-being."

"What happened before Mingyao appeared? What happened in the past 20 years? Boss Peng still survived, and couldn't bear it in just three months?"

Peng Yongyan sighed lowly: "My son, if you had experienced like me, you wouldn't think so. I didn't know the news for more than [-] years, and I was so close, but I couldn't see or hear anything. Occasional gossip and rumors make me nervous. Finally, I hope for someone who can often mention her recent situation to me. Sometimes I feel that even if this is the case in this life, I am satisfied, but such days are suddenly interrupted. . . . that's sadder than anything."

"..."

Chu Qi couldn't comment. He was neither familiar with Chu Jingxian nor Peng Yongyan, and he knew nothing about their past relationship.But in his opinion, even if they rely on someone to maintain this fruitless relationship, so what?The queen mother's status will not be shaken, her reputation cannot be insulted, and her life and death have nothing to do with outsiders. Peng Yongyan can't change anything.

But he didn't immediately refuse.

—— Just knowing whether a person is alive or not, just not knowing her recent situation of joy and sorrow, already makes people feel ashamed, so what if they don’t know their joys and angers, where they belong, and life and death?Even if you get news again, you have to talk carefully.

I don't know what came to mind, Chu Qi's eyes wandered slightly, and finally said softly: "As long as I am in good health, it is not difficult, but it is true that I don't often enter the palace, so I will ask again when I have a chance."

Peng Yongyan immediately said in surprise: "Is this true? Anyway, I thank you first! If you have any requests, please ask, and I will try my best to satisfy you as much as I can."

Chu Qi was polite, but he was also a little happy in his heart. These boats in Yehe belonged to Peng Yongyan's subordinates, so there must be men who meet certain requirements.

While thinking about how to speak more tactfully, he activated the observation technique.

Without him, because the fourth-level observation technique has a "favorability" function, he has to take a look at Peng Yongyan's value for Chu Jingxian.Although he still has confidence in his eyesight for observing acting skills, it is more reassuring to cheat on people with superb acting skills as they are not punished these days.

Peng Yongyan's data quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

The data of the fourth-level observation technique is complicated, and it takes a long time to look at it. Chu Qi was about to jump directly to the favorability level, but suddenly he was attracted by a very bright number in the front.

"Age: 63;"

Chu Qi: "?"

Chu Qi stared at Peng Yongyan in shock.

No, how could there be 63?Peng Yongyan has a long beard, looks dignified, and has an aura like a Taoist priest, not like a brothel owner at all, so he looks in his early forties.But if you think about it carefully, if you shave your sideburns clean and trim them a little, your skin will be around 63 at most, which is far from [-] years old.

Damn, how can someone look younger than Ming Qian Su when they are old?Did Peng Yongyan really go to a Taoist temple to practice immortality?

Chu Qi's bewilderment and surprise lasted only for a moment. He was about to ask Peng Yongyan about the discrepancy between his age and appearance, when he tilted his head slightly, and another person's data appeared in his eyes.

——Behind that huge screen, someone was there!

"Who's there?!"

Chu Qi raised his voice and stared at that side, the data in his eyes became clearer and clearer.

"Appearance value: 4.66;"

"Singing skills: 4.33;"

"Dancing skills: 4.22;"

"Notability: -0.88;"

——Except for the slight flaw in popularity, what a beautiful data this is!

Thinking of the reward Peng Yongyan was going to give him just now, Chu Qi pointed to the person hiding behind the screen, and blurted out: "This is the one, I want it! Pack it up and take it away!"
