Wanqing always had a straight face, but at this time, she couldn't help but purse her lips and pretend to drink tea to hide her smile.
In fact, although the royal family has a condescending attitude, the scripts of the Huahua Theater have long been circulated in the streets. Sometimes when a new play comes out, it is inevitable that the paper will be expensive in Luoyang. It was not convenient for the royal family to go to the theater to watch a play by himself, so he bought these playbooks and circulated them secretly.
Thus, although I have never read "New Edition of Red Mansions", I am extremely familiar with "A Dream of Red Mansions".
After the intense performance, everyone in the audience was already laughing. Tu Shansui covered his stomach, took the hand of the maid beside him and said:
"In the past, I only thought that Lin Daiyu was weak. Feng Ya, this is a good move, you threw Feng Ya firmly to the ground!”
Everyone also looked at Lu Xinyi with a smile. At this time, a voice came from the other side of the white gauze tent.
"Boss Lu is really talented. He can be so unexpected. I think it would be difficult for someone other than a scholar to come up with such an unworldly idea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wanqing nodded and said:
"Brother Wang teaches With good guidance and good luck, we can see such a novel drama."
Lu Xinyi's heart tightened and he couldn't help but look at Zijing, and saw that he also looked serious at this time and tightened his grip. Fist, look at the person over there.
Ling chuckled lightly: "I'm ashamed to say that this maid of mine is really naughty. I don't want to win the smiles of the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's sister today, but she is still of some use."
As he said that, he stood up and said: "In this case, I am tired now , Go to the side room to rest for a while. "Xinyi, come here."
Lu Xinyi looked around at the people around him, and saw that everyone realized that serving the prince was a matter of course, and even Tu Shansui let go. He held off his hand and looked at her with a smile. She had no choice but to step forward hesitantly, turned around, saluted the two people beside her, and said to the other side of the curtain:
"Yes, here we come."
Ling did not bring any slaves with her on her trip today. Only two boys followed Lu Xinyi. Behind Lu Xinyi, Zijing also followed her, keeping his head lowered.
When he arrived at the door of the side room, Lingping retreated from the two boys and asked Lu Xinyi to come in alone. When Zijing was about to follow, he held his arm to separate him.
"Where did you come from, why don't you get out?"
Xin Yi's eyes signaled Zijing to stay at the door, while she bravely followed Ling into the room.
Even looking at his shadow, Lu Xinyi felt nauseous.
After closing the door, Ling took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, turned her back to her and said, "I must have scared you last time."
Lu Xinyi said calmly: "No, I don't remember what happened last time. If the Crown Prince feels guilty, please allow me to redeem my deed."
Ling smiled and turned his back to He looked at Xin Yi and took off his mask.
"Your blood is pretty good." Ling chuckled softly. The mirror in front of him reflected his slightly injured face.
Drinking his blood is equivalent to signing a contract with him. Although he cannot kill her, the fact that her blood contains snake gall cannot be denied no matter what.
Ling was very happy about this, and he said in a brisk tone: "Don't worry, from now on, I will not kill you again, but as a condition, you must return to the Duke's Mansion so that I can take the medicine in time. As for things like stables and Pegasus, you can just take them.”
Lu Xinyi took half a step back: "Please forgive me for not obeying my order. If the prince needs it, I can send medicine to the house every day, but freedom is what I want!"
Ling nodded with a smile.
"In order to save you, he did not hesitate to connect with my blood and give up the body that he had finally cultivated. But for the sake of freedom, you left him alone."
Her expression was slightly moved, and in a trance, she seemed to see a young man with his back to the moonlight in the hazy night, his body covered with scars and trembling, but he refused to say a word. "How does he get out of your body?" she asked.
"I'm living a good life." Ling replied calmly, and he stepped forward slowly, "If I'm not wrong, what your theater needs most now is a powerful person to rely on, right? It's just a matter of borrowing my horse. It’s to get the name of the Duke’s Palace.”
She swallowed, and then clenched her fists. , said calmly: "I can agree to return to the Duke's mansion with you, but..."
Ling laughed: "Are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
As he said that, he He grabbed Xin Yi's wrist and used a dagger to make a slit on it. He didn't even bother to use the bowl and pointed it directly at his lips to suck.
She frowned in pain, but did not dare to make a sound.
After sucking it, he looked at Xin Yi with satisfaction, raised his lips, and touched her cheek with one hand: "I heard that your appearance was once the same as that of ordinary people, and then it festered after being poisoned by snake venom. Now, although you are You have been cured of the snake venom, but you still end up in this skin. Even among monsters, you are not good-looking. You have no trace of it. The slightest concern? "
Lu Xinyi took a half step back, his eyes lowered: "It's just a skin, my heart is no longer in this place, Your Highness, I'm tired. "
Ling glanced at her with interest, put down her hand, turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Zijing walked in quickly from outside the door, took Lu Xinyi's hand, and checked her injuries. Seeing that it was just a wound, but deep into the bone, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "Obviously it's just to take blood. If such a wound is any deeper, it will lead to lifelong disability."
Lu Xinyi casually took the scarf and wrapped it: "How much money have we saved now?"
"About ten thousand dollars."
Ten thousand dollars is not even enough to feed an army for a month.
Lu Xinyi bit his lip: "If I save another 10,000 yuan, I will definitely leave this hellish place!"
The two of them said that and came to the inner hall.
At that time, the stage in the theater had just rested, and the male and female guests were reciting poems in one place, and the gauze curtain in the middle was also removed.
When Tu Shansui saw Xin Yi coming, he stepped forward to grab her hand, but when he saw it was wrapped with a handkerchief and blood seeping out, he turned around and glanced at Ling who was drinking in the seat, and he understood something in his heart. .
“Why are you so careless?” She whispered angrily. Seeing this, Wanqing at the side also called the maid next to her.
"Liu Zhu, Boss Lu is feeling a little unwell today. Let's send Boss Lu home first."
Liu Zhu got up and was about to see him off when he heard a voice from the audience saying "Lazy" He said authentically: "Wait a minute, I haven't had all the fun yet, what is she going to say!"
Seeing this, everyone laughed, and had to sit back in their seats. In order to wipe away the embarrassment just now, they looked at the old country. The noble stood up and said:
"Come on, come on, we are all gathered together today. Thanks to Princess Wanqing for being the host, why don't we have a good drink and play a drinking game?" He is the elder brother who used to study together.
Ling sat slanted on his seat with his feet crossed: "What fun are you Han people having? They smell sour and will make this banquet dirty." (End of Chapter)
