Qingdeng can't explain these issues clearly.

However, there was one thing he was very sure of - it was absolutely right to take precautions before they happened and to remain vigilant and suspicious in front of Ziyang!

After giving Qingden another glass of wine, Ziyang said delicately:

"Your Highness, I couldn't be more happy when I learned that you were coming to Gion! It's been so long since I've seen you, and I can't wait to talk to you more!"

Qingden Wan'er:

"Then we are quite destined. We always see each other every once in a while."

Qingdeng had only two requirements for today's reception banquet, one was to be grand and the other was to be grand.

For this reason, after obtaining Seito's permission, the person in charge of organizing the banquet quickly contacted Gion to hire a talented geisha.

When the news spread that "Nioh was preparing to hold a banquet in Gion", there was a huge sensation in Gion!

From the perspective of ordinary people, Qingdeng is already a noble existence below one person and above ten thousand people.

Regardless of his prestige or social status, just his high official position makes the general public's eyes widen and their lips tremble.

Throughout the ages, it has always been common for geishas to fly up branches and transform into phoenixes.

Because they often come into contact with the upper class, there are always geishas who are very lucky to be favored by nobles and taken as concubines.

In fact, there are indeed many geishas who dream of "marrying into the Tachibana House".

All in all, in the eyes of geishas, ​​if they can establish any relationship with Nioh, it will definitely be a boon without any harm!

Now we have such a precious opportunity to look familiar in front of the Niou, how can we let it go?

Ever since, an extremely fierce "battle" has begun!

"I happen to be free that day, please let me go!"

"Sister, your leg injury hasn't healed yet, please let me go this time!"

"You are too young. You cannot handle such a grand banquet."

"Oh ho ho ho~~Sister, you are joking."

"Aiya~~Sister, you are the one, you have to have a certain temper when joking."

"..."

"..."

"Oh."

"snort!"

At the beginning, the geishas fought fiercely and used various methods. It was like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers.

In the end, this "battle" continued until Ziyang came out to express his position.

"The slave family is willing to serve the benevolent king" - as soon as these words came out, the dispute immediately disappeared.

Just kidding! Who has the ability to compete with the "Number One Geisha in Kyoto"?

In this way, Ziyang and his team were successfully selected without any obstacles.

As the most beautiful and famous geisha in Kyoto, those who admire Zi Yang and want to have a drink with Zi Yang can line up from Kyoto to Edo.

However, you know that just because of Ziyang's status, not just cats and dogs can meet her.

As for inviting Ziyang to the banquet and having Ziyang accompany the wine, that would be even more difficult!

In short: If you are not a well-known big shot, don’t even think about contacting Ziyang!

In fact, the customers Ziyang has always received are indeed no ordinary people.

They are either princes, great ministers or celebrities.

Because it was difficult to invite Zi Yang, over time, "inviting Zi Yang to the banquet" gradually became a matter of great dignity and something that could be bragging to others.

Ziyang's "active registration and joining the Orange Family Banquet" this time further proves that the gap between people may be even greater than the gap between people and dogs!

The goddess that countless people wanted to see but could not meet, actually rushed to serve Qingdeng... If this matter spread, I am afraid countless people would be jealous of Qingdeng, and they would go crazy with jealousy.

"Mr. Tojo, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you are from Edo, right?"

"I am not from Edo, but I have lived in Edo for a long time, so I lost my local accent early on, and I speak with an Edo accent."

Aoden raised his eyes and looked at Shintaro Tojo who was standing aside - he was having a lively conversation with the geisha next to him.

I have to say that the geisha who is serving him has really high professionalism.

Even though the guest officer in front of him was an uncle with a slovenly appearance and a shabby appearance, he still had a smile on his face and didn't show anything strange.

On the other hand, Nagakura Shinpachi and Harada Sanosuke got more and more excited as they played.

Even Shannan Keisuke, who had never been close to women, rarely interacted with geisha at this time.

"Nowadays, when the world talks about 'respecting the king and repelling the barbarians' and 'integrating the public and military forces', they subconsciously think that they are opposed to each other. But privately, they think that these two trends of thought do not conflict with each other! The imperial court is very important, but the shogunate is equally important!"

Shannan Keisuke was eloquent and explained the similarities and differences between the "Respect for Responsibility" and the "Subaku Theory" very seriously.

The geisha next to him had a blank look on his face and was stunned for a while.

How should I put it... This scene made Qingdeng unable to help but recall the events of his previous life.

In his previous life, he had a buddy who was an avid seal fan and even claimed to be a practicing seal spirit.

When he went out to play with his girl, he very seriously explained to her the similarities and differences between seals and sea lions, and why seals are keen on belly pats. After that, the girl never contacted him again.

However, this is indeed Shannan Keisuke's style.

Although he has an elegant and handsome face, his personality is very dull. He only has career in his eyes and does not understand women's hearts.

Everyone was busy having fun with the geisha, and Qingto, who had nothing to do, could only chat with Ziyang, who was serving beside him.

"Time flies so fast. It feels like I only met you yesterday."

"In the blink of an eye, your fame has risen to a higher level, becoming the master of a city and a place, and you have also married three beautiful wives. It is really gratifying to congratulate you."

"Although it's a little late to congratulate you now, I still wish you a happy wedding! A house full of children and grandchildren!"

Speaking of this, Ziyang paused for a moment, and then his face showed longing.

"Combining with your lover and starting a family... Your Highness, this must be a wonderful feeling, right?"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Qingdeng asked half-jokingly:

"Miss Ziyang, listening to your words, you seem to be longing for marriage."

Ziyang smiled sweetly.

"It's better to say 'curiosity' than 'admiration'."

The joking tone in Qingdeng's tone became a little more intense.

"Just a few words can't explain the beauty of starting a family with your lover. If you are really curious, should you consider getting married?"

Zi Yang spread his hands.

"If the slave family gets married, I don't know how many men will be heartbroken."

"Therefore, for the sake of their lives, I will maintain the status quo for now."

After saying that, she winked playfully and then added.

"Besides, once we get married, I won't be able to become a geisha anymore. I don't want to retire so soon."

"Anyway, for me, finding a good man to marry is just a piece of cake, so there's no need to worry."

Hearing this, Qingden raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of confusion appearing on his cheeks.

"Oh? That's really weird."

"As far as I know, no geisha wants to stay in this business for a long time."

"Once you meet a suitable husband-in-law, you can't wait to run to him immediately to escape this muddy swamp."

"The result is interesting for you. You can escape as soon as possible and become a noble lady enjoying prosperity, but you still stay in Gion and don't want to leave."

Ziyang smiled slightly and said quietly:

"One day I will retire, get married, and become an ordinary citizen, but that is not today."

"As for which day it is, I can only leave it to the gods to arrange it~~"

From a certain perspective, Ziyang is a very strange woman.

Although geishas are glamorous, their social status... to put it bluntly, they are "men's playthings" and they are lowly and low-class.

Moreover, geishas are typical youth fans.

No matter how powerful or famous a geisha is, once she reaches old age, she will definitely be greeted by a cold tea.

At that time, they will either go behind the scenes and become a teacher training geisha, or they will directly change careers and do other jobs, or they will directly get married and spend the rest of their lives in peace as their husbands and children.

As a succubus, there are naturally countless people who love and pursue Ziyang.

There are also many people who love her to death, and there is a strong sense of "I will not marry someone other than Ziyang in this life".
