Chapter 423 The forty-fourth bowl of soup (two & three)

"...Why did you tell us to leave? Could it be that the opera is not good? It makes the princess unhappy? Butler, please give me a message!" The headmaster looked at the butler of the royal palace with pleading, and even put a silver note into his hand. If the opera is not good enough, then it cannot be. Anyone with a discerning eye can hear it. Why did the princess let them leave halfway through singing? If it was spread, they had just taken the first Lingyuan brand for a few days, and wouldn't it be gone again immediately?

The most important thing is that if they offended Princess Rui, how could they stay in the capital in the future?

The housekeeper was a personal talent. He looked at the numbers on the silver bill and accepted them with satisfaction. Then he whispered to the headmaster: "There is no problem with the play. The prince likes it very much. The girl who sang the female role was so handsome. After the prince took a few more glances, the princess was dissatisfied."

When he heard that the play was fine, the headmaster immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard the princess think Chanjuan was too handsome. He quickly explained: "The face is covered with makeup, how can you tell me whether it is handsome or not... Please give us a few good words in front of the princess, so that we can have a better reputation in the capital." As he said that, he stuffed another one.

The housekeeper received the silver notes and had to help him. He was very sharp-eyed. No one knew better than what the prince liked and didn't like. Just the actor just now, the prince would definitely go to see him. Although the prince and the princess are in love with each other now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no changes in the future. What if this actor can get to power?

So of course he would not refuse the request of the headmaster. Not only that, he would also say something nice to the team in front of the prince.

When Chanjuan heard the headmaster say that it was because the show was not good or because the person was so beautiful, she suddenly felt ridiculed in her heart. It turned out that Yao Qiudong, who had a beautiful appearance, was also unconfident. Just because an actor who couldn't even see his face clearly but had a beautiful voice, she became afraid. How did she pretend that the docile she had shown in front of her in the past?

Spring rivers, autumn moons, winter ice and snow, don’t listen to the old words, just listen to the sky.

Yao Jiangyue and Yao Qiudong. The two daughters of the Yao family are born, one with a talented reputation and the other with a good reputation. They were once the sisters that everyone envied. Chanjuan never doubted that one day her favorite family and husband would attack her. Even everyone knew that she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Because of her fate, King Rui married her as his concubine just to make her pregnant, and then took her baby with a caesarean section as a medicine to save Yao Qiudong, who had a disease.

Only she doesn't know.

Chanjuan washed away the paint on her face and showed a face that was even more beautiful than Princess Rui. She changed her clothes and sat on the bed. She was about to lie down when she heard the headmaster knocking on the door and saying that a distinguished guest was visiting and invited her to come and talk.

The fish is hooked.

Chanjuan got up again and picked up a simple dress casually. Before leaving the door, she looked back at herself in the mirror. Even though she was wearing a veil, she could still see her delicate eyebrows.

beautiful.

What she wants has already been obtained.

Because I went to Ruiwang Mansion to sing opera today, I didn’t have a song for a day. Who knew that I would come back after singing it for less than half a day, so the opera troupe rarely took a long vacation. Most actors took this opportunity to go out for a walk. After all, the bustling land of the capital is different from the small town they stayed in, and everyone wants to see it.

As soon as he saw Chanjuan, the headmaster hurriedly pulled her over to King Rui and said, "Prince, this is Chanjuan who sang in the palace in the morning. Chanjuan, this is Prince Rui, why not salute him quickly."

"The young lady has met the prince."

"Please get up, girl." King Rui smiled and looked at Chanjuan curiously, as if he wanted to see something from behind her veil. But Chanjuan just let him see calmly, without any uneasiness or flattery of the powerful. His neither humble nor arrogant appearance immediately made the prince feel good.

The headmaster said to Chanjuan: "Chanjuan, it's just for something. The prince has always loved listening to music. I heard you sing a song this morning, which was shocking. I wanted to ask if you would like to stay in the palace for a while? Of course, if you don't sign a contract for sale, you will have to collect cash when you sing the opera. When you come back, you will still be the pillar of our opera troupe."

King Rui also smiled and said, "I am sincere. If Miss Chanjuan is willing to give me this face, I will definitely regard the girl as a guest of honor."

Chanjuan chuckled: "It's not impossible, but can the prince tell the people why they like to listen to opera so much?"

King Rui's eyes moved, and after a while, he said, "...My deceased wife was originally the eldest daughter of the Yao family. She has been very talented since childhood and is known as a talented woman. She loves this, and I have also been infected with this preference by her."

The headmaster quickly patted the horse and said, "The prince is really kind. He still remembers the preferences of the former princess."

Chanjuan said: "Since the prince is so affectionate and righteous, it is better to obey the orders of the people than to be respectful."

King Rui was overjoyed.

When Princess Rui learned that Prince Rui had invited an actor to live in the palace, she was furious. She is now pregnant, her temperament becomes moody, and she often loses her temper. It took a lot of effort to coax her. Another soft word made Princess Rui believe that she just wanted to listen to the opera and had no other intentions. She said: "After so many years, don't you know me? You are the only one in my heart."

"Then why do you still like listening to operas so much?" Princess Rui looked at him aggrievedly. "Isn't it to miss that person?"

King Rui smiled bitterly: "If you want to miss her, how can you kill her? I am willing to do anything for you." He looked at this beautiful face obsessedly. Although he became a little fatter and haggard because of his pregnancy, he was still a stunning beauty. "Dong'er, don't you understand my heart? You are the only one living here, and I don't like others."

When Princess Rui heard this, she turned angry and happy, and threw herself into Prince Rui's arms and said coquettishly: "Then you can only listen to the opera, and you are not allowed to have any other thoughts!"

"Of course, she is covered with a veil all day long. Who knows what she looks like? Besides, where can I find a woman more beautiful than my Dong'er in this world?"

When Princess Rui heard this, she became unhappy again: "You just like my beauty, right? I will become old and ugly in a few years. Do you want to like others?" As she said that, she felt sad and tears fell down. "I knew... After all, I am still twenty-five years old this year. I am not a girl in my prime, but you are still young, so how can you still like me..." The sadness came from it and cried even harder.

King Rui had long been used to her crying whenever she said that, and quickly comforted her sweetly. The two of them were so tired that they were so tired that they burst into tears by him, and they still repeatedly asked him not to change their minds.

When King Rui finally had time to come to listen to Chanjuan sing the song, it was already seven days later. Princess Rui pestered him to come to find Chanjuan. For some reason, she felt a slight sense of uneasiness, and couldn't tell why. She originally wanted to come with King Rui, but when she thought about those operas, she was really not interested in them at all, so she told King Rui that she would remember to come back to see her after listening.

Chanjuan lives in the living yard south of the palace. She stayed in the yard very quiet and did not fight with others. King Rui was really as he said, treating her as a guest of honor, and the food and clothing were the best. For this, the singers came to find fault, but they were driven back by the guards when they arrived at the gate of the yard.

When he is kind to others, he is extremely good. He is gentle and delicate, and therefore has the power to seduce people's hearts, making people feel that he is full of sincerity. But if you take out your heart and give it to him, he will immediately reveal his true face, chop your heart and throw it on the ground, trampling it into mud.

Who else is more familiar with everything in this palace than her?

She had been in the Forgetful River for thousands of years before she finally got the chance to do it again. It was hatred that supported her to live until now. The grass and trees in front of her were both familiar and unfamiliar. The servants in the mansion did not even change much. They could only die in a pig cage, but claimed to have died of miscarriage. From then on, the poor princess Rui disappeared in this world.

She still remembers the fear of the cold lake water that was not as strong as her mouth and nose, the despair of having a child who was cruelly cut off her fetus, the heart was as thorny as a knife, the heart was broken by the pain. Hatred made her stronger and she could not let go.

The door was knocked, Chanjuan closed her eyes, and when she opened it again, there was no blood. She walked over and opened the door, and saw that it was King Rui, and said blessedly: "I have seen the prince."

"Miss Chanjuan." King Rui smiled slightly. "It's rare that I have time. I don't know if Miss Chanjuan has time to present a song for me?"

Chanjuan chuckled: "This is natural. Please wait for a while before the young lady can change into her costume."

"No need. There is a girl's natural sound, or whether the costumes are secondary."

"The prince is really good at speaking." Her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be smiling very happily, but the corners of her mouth under the veil were not curled at all.

King Rui was about to speak again, but suddenly he was sucked away by an item on the dressing table: "Hey, that dagger..."

Chanjuan looked over his gaze and said, "What?"

"You can tell at a glance that it is a priceless magic weapon." King Rui likes to collect weapons the most. When he saw the gem dagger, he fell in love with it and wanted to take it for himself. "I wonder where Miss Chanjuan got this treasure?"

Chanjuan walked over and picked up the dagger, looking at King Rui: "A gift from an old friend."

Hearing that Chanjuan was unwilling to talk more, King Rui quickly smoothed out: "It's because I'm a tough guy."

Chanjuan did not respond to him, put the dagger into the drawer of the dressing table, and then pointed to the stool: "Prince, please sit down."

She sang in the room, her voice cold and melodious, as if she had passed through the house and penetrated the entire palace.

"The cicada's hair is combed with the mind, and the moth's eyebrows are swept with care. I made up for a few hours, but I can't say good. I'm heavy with the same hole, and I'm lightly old together. I'm sad that I've been here last year, but I know that I can't tell you. When I open my mouth today, I'm not talking deeply. I'm willing to lead to current affairs and change your heart.

People say that a husband and wife are in harmony, and the righteousness is like a body. When it comes to life and death, how can a woman be both happy and happy? A woman loses her husband and stays alone forever. She is like a bamboo in the forest, which is suddenly broken by the wind. She will never be reborn, and she will still hold her kinship when she dies. If a man loses his wife, can he not be hurt temporarily? She should be like a willow in front of the door, and she will be prone to look like a branch in spring. A branch will be broken by the wind, and another branch will be born.

I am sympathizing with you, I hope you will listen again and again: You must know that women suffer, and never miss each other from now on.”

She rarely sings such sad songs. When she sang them occasionally, she had an indescribable resentment. However, the words made King Rui feel shocked. He was originally intoxicated by Chanjuan's singing, but as he listened to the words, he felt something was wrong. Someone who was heavy in the same cave, his intention was to grow old together, and some wind blew a branch, and another branch was born... It was like he was implying something!

He strode up, grabbed Chanjuan, who was dancing with her sleeves, pulled off her veil, and was about to question her, but saw that the breathlessly beautiful face lost all its words for a moment, and could only stare at it in a daze.

Chanjuan was grabbed by him and couldn't break free for a moment. Her veil fell to the ground and could not be picked up. She showed a look of furious expression: "The prince kept waiting for me as a guest of honor, why are he still so rogue!"

King Rui was so nervous that he was so angry that he was so hot that he was all Zhang Jun's face was hot. He quickly took a few steps back and then remembered something to pick up the veil on the ground and handed it to her: "It's because I'm abrupt, girl... don't be surprised."

After putting on the veil again, Chanjuan turned her back and asked, "Does the prince think the folk girl is not singing well? Why are she furious?"

"No! You sang very well!" It was so good that it made him feel guilty. "I just... just..."

"Just what?" Chanjuan, who had already put on a veil, turned around and asked.

When he had never seen her face, King Rui could still be calm, but he saw that shocking face. Now King Rui looked at Chanjuan's eyebrows and eyes and felt blushing and dared not look directly. He turned his eyes away in embarrassment and said, "I just felt too sad, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart. The girl is in her good years, why bother so sad for a man?"

Listening to his treacherous tale, Chanjuan didn't say anything, but was sneering in her heart. She was really shameless. But she just said: "Since ancient times, infatuated women have been unfaithful, and such things are not uncommon. The folk girl just sang a song that she heard from unknown places. If the prince doesn't like it, the folk girl will stop singing in the future."

King Rui waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn't dare to look at Chanjuan. After saying a few words, he said goodbye in a mess. Looking at his back, Chanjuan showed a sarcastic look.

Since that day, King Rui has not come to listen to the song for several days, so Chanjuan naturally doesn’t care about it, but King Rui himself cannot let go. Now what he sees in his dream is Chanjuan’s beautiful face!

I heard from the headmaster that she is only 16 years old now, and she is the age of a girl who is about to bloom. Princess Rui is naturally beautiful, but how can a young woman compare to a fresh girl? Not to mention that Chanjuan's appearance is even better than Princess Rui. For Princess Rui, who has deep facial control, it is like an irregular time bomb!

The more he wants to forget, the more he wants to think about it. Even when he goes to bed at night, he can't help but expect to look at that face again in his dream. But it's strange. Sometimes when he dreams, he opens his mouth and starts singing the song, and only sings that song, he is sad and sad, and he looks at him with his eyes, as if he is condemning and questioning.

After so many years, he has been no longer thinking of Yao Jiangyue. For King Rui, Yao Jiangyue is just a tool, a production tool he uses to save his beloved woman. Although he had slandered Yao Jiangyue for a while after marrying Yao Jiangyue, he had never been moved by her.

Yao Jiangyue is indeed famous, but she was born an ordinary person. How could the handsome and elegant King Rui fall in love with a woman with such a mediocre appearance? It’s just that Yao Jiangyue’s gentleness, sensibility, well-behavedness and intelligence are not comparable to any woman. Even her conversation and temperament are so elegant. Under her influence, King Rui learned a lot.

He could not help but sigh that if Yao Jiangyue could have a better birth, not to mention being like Yao Qiudong, he would not have drowned her no matter how beautiful she was.

King Rui was afraid.

When Yao Jiangyue was taking the fetus with a caesarean section, his resentful eyes made him tremble when he recalled it. He never knew that a gentle woman like Yao Jiangyue would show such an expression, as if telling him that one day, she would come back to take revenge on him.

Late at night, King Rui woke up and found that he was sweating in a cold sweat. He had been thinking of Yao Jiangyue for a long time. He had a caesarean section to prepare medicine. After Yao Qiudong recovered, they had the ambition to not mention this woman, as if Yao Jiangyue had never existed. For others, Yao Jiangyue was even less worth mentioning.

She has long been forgotten by this world.

But why did you suddenly remember it tonight?

Yao Qiudong beside him asked, "What's wrong?"

Her voice was still confused. King Rui shook his head and said softly: "It's okay, keep sleeping."

Yao Qiudong moaned and continued to sleep. King Rui could no longer sleep. He opened his eyes and thought for a long time, got up gently, sat in front of the window in his coat, and opened his eyes until dawn.

Slowly, Princess Rui discovered something that the prince seemed to be no longer on her. Although she still had a lot of time to accompany her, the woman's mind was so sensitive that she just felt something was wrong. However, after observing for a few days, she couldn't see any problems. She felt depressed and asked Princess Rui that there was no, which made Princess Rui very unhappy.

She always felt that he was about to change his mind.

King Rui was indeed thinking about something else, but he did not change his mind. Chanjuan was indeed beautiful, but he really had feelings for Princess Rui. Chanjuan's beauty had a great impact on him. That face was so beautiful that it was impossible for a man to stop the temptation of Zhengfang. But whenever he wanted to go further, he would always think of the song Chanjuan sang that day, and then his enthusiasm suddenly became cold.

Fortunately, the emperor of the neighboring country was coming to visit and he had a goal. Now the relationship between the two countries is good and the power is equal. However, the nearest neighbor is in a civil war. The new emperor ascended the throne and wanted to establish diplomatic relations for the first time. Naturally, he had to entertain himself well.

He watched the singing and dancing in the palace and felt that it was not possible, so he put his ideas on Chanjuan. On the one hand, he wanted to let neighboring countries see the actors in their own country, and on the other hand, he wanted to talk to Chanjuan.

He didn't dare to look for Chanjuan during these days, which was strange. Chanjuan was just a little girl, a humble background and a lowly actor, but whenever he saw her, King Rui always felt a sense of fear, and he didn't know where it came from.

Chanjuan naturally agreed. What should she not agree?

The capital was very lively on the day the emperor of the neighboring country arrived. Although the streets were already strictly prohibited, some people still secretly opened a crack in their doors to see the majestic emperor of the neighboring country. However, the situation was too big and they could not see where each other was. They only felt that the tall and burly soldiers of the neighboring country were really majestic, which made people feel scared when they saw it.

It was also the first time that King Rui and the Emperor had seen this new emperor who had just ascended the throne and became emperor. It is said that this man came out from somewhere and took only three years to bring down the entire neighboring country. It seemed that he was born to build a country. They dare not offend such a terrible person.

Not to mention the courage to go to the enemy country alone. If they were them, no one would dare to do this. They could dominate their own country, but when they were in neighboring countries, what would they be? This person could do such extremely dangerous things, and he was simply a complete madman.

Of course, you have to do enough skills on the surface. The emperor of the neighboring country is very tall and slender, and is handsome and has no friends. Many palace maids at the palace banquet blushed when they see it, and even the queen felt that this man was really fascinating. There is no need to mention the kingly aura in her body. Only those amazing bloody eyes really make people feel awe when they see it.

He didn't say much, and he didn't have much patience to greet the emperor. He didn't have the awareness of me to clamp my tail on other people's territory, and even made people arrogantly want to beat him.

Such a person was created with blood and killing. Even King Rui, who had been on the battlefield, couldn't help but feel shocked.

What a terrible thing it would be if it was an enemy of our country like this!

Thinking of this, he became murderous. Instead of letting such a dangerous person go back and making him unable to sleep or eat, it would be better to take this opportunity to kill the person and then eliminate the roots. The civil war between neighboring countries has just ended, and they are pursuing the victory and may be able to annex them.

This was really a good opportunity, and King Rui was moved. He looked at the old emperor on the dragon throne and saw that the other party was thinking, and he didn't know what his father was thinking, so he didn't dare to act rashly for a moment, so he performed singing and dancing according to the original plan.

The rings of the dingdong and the wonderful dance of the music are really indescribable. The actors danced gracefully with cheerful steps. These were all carefully selected beauties. Many ministers couldn't help but watch them crazy. Who doesn't love the beauties dancing?

The old emperor laughed: "If you like it, just speak!"
