"Chennu
thanks the Empress Niangniang for her grace." Nangong Yue
also kowtowed respectfully, while feeling countless complex gazes cast on
herself, among which were envy, jealousy, doubt, indignation ...... and she,
for all intents and purposes, did not care.
Li Mama finished
delivering the verbal order and left. By the time Su Shi led the crowd
back to the Flower Hall again, every member of the Nangong family felt that
something had changed. The heavy rewards awarded by the Empress Niangniang must
have been known to these ladies of the families and their gazes became warm and
attentive, while in their hearts they pondered: was this the Emperor's
intention, or just the Empress's?
But no matter
whose intention it was, everyone knew that this time the Nangong House was
really going to rise again!
The rest of the
birthday banquet became warm and smooth, and there was a great deal of harmony
and happiness. Even Nangong Yan and Nangong Lin, who were not much bothered by
anyone, had more people to talk to.
After the
dinner, Su Shi and the older ladies went back to the main hall to rest
and ordered Zhao Shi to take the guests for a stroll in the garden to spend
some time ......After the sun had set, the furens and xiaojies were
invited to go to the opera house in front to listen to the performance.
The female
guests had long heard that the Nangong House had invited the best opera troupe
in the whole of Wangdu to sing, so they all said yes.
The theater
building of Nangong House has two halls in front and back, connected by a
pierced hall in the middle, forming an I-beam structure. The front hall, facing
a courtyard, has a theater stage built across the courtyard. The stage base is
made of brick and stone, square, surrounded by wooden railings and twelve
columns. There is a small attic on the stage, with a patio on the ceiling,
where mechanical equipment such as a derrick windlass can be placed for the use
of the divine play.
"I've heard
that this Theater house of the Nangong Mansion can be considered the largest in
the Wangdu, and today I saw that it really lives up to its name." A Furen
in her twenties exclaimed.
At these words,
Nangong Lin diligently took over the words, smiling and introduced the Furens
and young Misses of various families.
Nangong Yue
watched with cold eyes as she followed the crowd into the hall of the theatre
building.
The generous
tables in the hall were filled with fruits and snacks. Shortly afterwards, Su Shi
and several old ladies came over in soft chairs carried by the maids.
It was not until
Su Shi and several other old ladies had taken their seats that Nangong Yue found
a remote seat among the girls and sat down.
At this point,
someone presented a list of plays for Su Shi to order, and Su Shi and some of
the old ladies consulted and ordered the plays.
The play soon
began, singing "The Eight Immortals Celebrate Their Longevity", and
Nangong Yue listened to it in a careless manner.
After listening
to only two scenes, Nangong Yue got up and spoke to Nangong Yan beside her,
"Second sister, I'm going to change clothes and will be back in a
moment."
Several girls at
the same table were listening in fascination, including Nangong Yan, who
casually responded.
Nangong Yue took
Yi Mei out of the hall and headed straight for the clean room at the back of
the courtyard. When she turned around a long corridor, she heard a rustling
sound coming from ahead.
"Miss
Third ......," Yi Mei's body trembled in fear and she nervously
clutched Nangong Yue's arm.
This girl's
courage is also really too small. Nangong Yue sighed helplessly, patted the
back of Yimei's hand and said soothingly: "Yimei, don't be afraid, it's
alright."
Miss Third is
younger than herself and is so calm, but she ...... Yi Mei blushed with shame,
and the hand that was clutching Nangong Yue's arm, loosened.
"Yimei,
I'll go over and take a look, you wait here." Nangong Yue said and wanted
to go forward, but was pulled by Yimei with a deadly grip.
Just listen to
her cowering: "Miss Third, don't go, it's dangerous, what if there's a
thief hiding there? You can't let anything happen to you!" She bit her lip
and suggested again, "We'd better call someone."
Nangong Yue was
quite helpless, this girl was really timid. Patting her hand, Nangong Yue said
calmly, "It's alright, I'll go take a look. Yimei, let go."
Yi Mei still
wanted to say something, but was unconsciously loosened by Nangong Yue's
determined look, and summoned up the courage to say, "Miss Third, slave
servant should accompany you to go over and have a look."
Nangong
Yue nodded.
The pair took a
few steps forward and looked through the gap between branches, only to find a
dark shadow high up on the outer wall ahead, tumbling sharply down ......
Looking at the silhouette it actually looked like ......
A thief had
really sneaked in over the wall! Yimei was so frightened that her body
trembled, and she immediately shouted in a great hurry, "Come on, someone,
there is......"
Yimei could no
longer shout, only to see a black shadow flash, a figure appeared behind her
like a ghost, a large palm to the back of her neck a slash..... Yimei did not
even have time to moan, and fell limply.
And at this
time, Nangong Yue has already seen the visitor, frowned slightly, but did not
shout.
Xiao Yi! How is
it him again!
Looking at the
young man in front of him, who was dressed in black but could not hide his
beauty, Nangong Yue suddenly felt her temples twitch, thinking: Are you not the
god of killing Xiao Yi? Here over the wall as a small thief, is it really
appropriate?
"Stinky
girl!"
Xiao Yi, of
course, also recognized her and pointed at her nose and blurted out. Last time,
he let her run away in the palace, but he didn't expect to run into her again
here this time.
The phrase
"life is not a place to meet" is really not wrong.
He looked at the
uncharacteristically calm little girl in front of him with a playful face,
hugging his chest and teasing, "Hey, stinky girl, what's your name?"
Saying that, he seemed to think of something, "I see, you're from the Nangong
family, right? I remember last time I heard the Palace Maid say that the
Empress Niangniang had invited the ladies of the Nangong family into the
palace....." He looked laid back and at ease, as if he was completely
unaware that he was now a petty thief who could not be seen.
"What are
you doing here?" Nangong Yue asked instead of answering, she suddenly
thought of the scene when she saw Xiao Yi for the first time in this life and
suddenly had a flash of light and blurted out, "Could it be that you've
bet with someone again?"
"How do you
know?" Xiao Yi reflexively responded, followed by a chagrined frown on his
face. He had actually admitted it to himself.
Nangong Yue
almost rolled her eyes, she actually guessed right. If she continues to talk to
this guy in front of her, she feels that the awe she once had for the God of
Kill, Xiao Yi, is going to vanish into thin air. Nangong Yue held her forehead
helplessly and decided to go back to the Mozhuyuan and quietly ask someone to
get Yimei back.
Seeing that
Nangong Yue turned around and was about to leave, Xiao Yi couldn't help but
feel a bit chagrined, thinking: How come since coming to the royal capital, his
charm has plummeted? Now even a little girl does not want to care about
himself. The most important thing is that in the South Xinjiang (south of the
country), with his handsome appearance, even 80-year-old women and
three-year-old children like it.
Seeing Nangong Yue walking further and further away, Xiao Yi was busy chasing after her, "Eh eh eh, stinky girl, since you have guessed that I am here for the bet, I will be merciful and tell you the content of the bet."
"......"
"It was
that Chen Quying who insisted on making a bet with me to see if I had the guts
to come and look at Nangong Zheng, the most beautiful woman in the Wangdu."
"..."
"Eh, stinky
girl, you should also be surnamed Nangong, you're not that Nangong Zheng, are
you?"
"..."
"Stinky
girl, are you going to keep quiet?"
"..."
"Stinky
girl, you can ignore me, but can you tell me that method of yours that attracts
bees?"
