God of Fast Transmigration, don't run away

Chapter 290 Pipa Ballad 1
"Qing'er, hurry up, someone is urging you over there." A crisp voice came from outside.

The person involved was still in a daze, she was stunned for a while, then suddenly remembered what she was going to do, and hurriedly responded, "Hey, I'll come."

She picked up the pipa that had been prepared on the table, turned around and left the tent.

Qing'er was a music girl stationed in the Yuefang in the Western Regions, or she could be said to be a brothel girl in the Liang Dynasty.

She was from Daliang, but she was enslaved because of being implicated and convicted. Later, she was bought by the Hongyuan Band and became a music girl.

After that, they were sent to the border between Daliang and the Western Regions. This place is actually even more chaotic than Daliang.

People die here every day, especially the slaves of the Liang Kingdom, and the Shrouded Man's straw mats are not enough.

Because although this is a junction, it was designated as their own territory by foreigners, and they even built a city here, named "Liangcheng".

Liang communicates with "Liang", but Liang's original intention is the same as "Jin". This group of foreigners obviously has ulterior motives.

In order to show the grandeur of a great country, Daliang Kingdom didn't care about it, but they also sent a member of the royal family to stay here permanently.

The royal family sent here is also the most unfavored of the Daliang royal family, either princes or princes and nobles.

It is said that the No.15 prince of the Daliang royal family is currently stationed here.

The current emperor of Daliang Kingdom has reached his twilight years, and it is said that he has not been in court for a long time, and the entire Daliang Kingdom is actually very corrupt at present.

And the emperor's children are even more numerous. Just talking about the princes, the number is more than 20, let alone the princesses.

Besides, the No.15 prince, it is said that his biological mother was a maidservant beside the empress, who died after giving birth to him.

Not only that, but he was weak and sickly when he was born, and he was not bedridden for 360 days a year.

Therefore, he also directly disliked the emperor. Anyway, the emperor has many sons, let alone such a son.

Unremarkable son.

It is said that the emperor even forgot to name him, and it was not until he was sent to this "Liang" city at the age of fifteen that the emperor gave him the name under the reminder of the minister.

Before that, everyone was called by the fifteen princes and fifteen princes.

The meaning of the name given to him by the emperor is also very obvious. Taking the name "Ping" and being named Prince Ping does not know whether it indicates that the status of the fifteenth prince is ordinary, or it is to keep him healthy and safe in his life.

Obviously, the former must be more suitable. After all, if it is for peace, why not give the name "An"?

The Daliang royal family took Lian as their surname, so the fifteen princes were directly named "Lian Ping". Compared with the carefully chosen names of other princes, this is indeed a very common name.

Besides, although the Hongyuan Music Square where Qing'er is located is a place of brothels, it can be regarded as a safe place here, especially for fragile women like them.

In fact, Qing'er has only come here not long ago, less than three months, she is only 16 years old, because she has been learning musical instruments since she was a child, and she is proficient in these, so she has become a music girl since she came here.

She is mainly responsible for accompaniment to the dancers who perform in the band. Relatively speaking, her work is still behind the scenes, usually behind the bead curtain, and rarely in front of people.

Therefore, it is much safer. You must know that in this foreign land, especially those foreigners, they will never pity the people of Daliang, let alone the female slaves of Daliang.

Qing'er has personally seen a woman with a big beam walking on the street, and was directly taken away by those foreigners in the street.

According to her sisters, none of the women could escape being raped to death.

It's better in Lefang. Those foreigners are afraid of the matchmaker in Lefang, and they don't dare to mess around.

Speaking of the matchmaker, Qing'er is not very familiar with her, she only spoke a few words with the matchmaker when she was first assigned here.

The matchmaker was only about [-] years old, and she was very charming, but when she got angry, it was said that she was even more terrifying than those foreigners.

But Qing'er has never seen Hong Niang lose her temper until now, as long as she is in Lefang, everyone behaves well, even those foreigners who come to Lefang are like this, they are not angry.

What Qing'er is going to now is the mansion where the [-]th prince resides. It is said that officials from Daliang have come, and in order to entertain them, they are specially invited to play music to add to the fun.

This was the first time that Prince Ping, who had only heard about it but never seen it, held a banquet.

You know, this King Ping came here at the age of 15. At that time, he could be said to be alone, with only three or two attendants around him.

It has been ten years now, and that King Ping has become more and more secluded, and he can't even see him on weekdays, let alone the various invitations from some nobles in the city.

He would never go, and therefore, the sisters who came to Lefang these years have never seen the real face of the prince.

The Red Kite Band generally does not accept private invitations. If you want to watch the performance, you can only go to the band in person.

However, there are exceptions, that is, for those people with high status and status, they all spend a lot of money, and the matchmaker will follow.

Qing'er and her sisters first underwent an interrogation by Prince Ping's Mansion. Not to mention it was quite strict. There were guards guarding every corner of the mansion. This level was comparable to that in Daliang Jingcheng.

Qing'er had been to the capital. The reason why her family went to the capital was to seek refuge with a relative who was an official in the capital.

That relative was only a petty official, and he was directly implicated and convicted, and the whole family was sent into slavery.

Qing'er still doesn't know where her parents, siblings are, and she is too anxious, but the reality tells her that it is useless to be anxious.

The most important thing right now is for her to survive first.

Entering Prince Ping's Mansion, Qing'er was taken to a hall with her sisters holding her pipa.

"Everyone is an old man under Hong Niang's hands. You know what you should do and what you shouldn't do later, right?"

The person who thought they were in charge came in to give a lecture, and one of their leading sisters agreed first, "That's natural, Mr. Liu, don't worry."

The manager nodded. Although his eyes were small, they were very sharp, and he glanced at every music girl present.

Qing'er was immediately stunned by that gaze, and goosebumps stood up all over her body.

Fortunately, the manager's eyes were swept away, and Qing'er and the other sisters found their seats step by step and sat down.

After some preparations for tuning and audition, it didn't take long for a person to come to the hall.

It seemed that he was just an attendant, so he called out hastily, "play the music.", and ran away in a hurry.

Not long after their music started, there was a commotion in the front yard, and after a while, guests came in in twos and threes.

The servants who served the food also started, and the whole hall became more and more lively, Qing'er took a peek at the gap, and could see that there were foreigners also present.
