Chapter 48 Before the Show
Gu Yunzheng rented a Zhuya courtyard for Xiaoman outside the palace.

On this day, an invitation post for the premiere of Yuan Ledu's Sidi opera was delivered to Xiaoman.

Wow, tea tickets for VIP private rooms, ancient VIP, Prince Le Duo is really interesting.Chang Xiaoman smiled happily with a winter jujube in his mouth.

Gu Yunzheng was admiring the plum tree that Xiaoman had just repaired, but when he saw Xiaoman's smiling face, he asked curiously, "Why are you so happy? Where is the invitation?"

"Chang Ting Yuan is a newcomer to sing Xidi's opera. It will premiere tomorrow, and he sent me a tea ticket for Tianzihao private room on the second floor. Does the Seventh Prince have time tomorrow, do you want to go together?"

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Chang Xiaoman closed the invitation, turned around and said to the maid who was serving her personally, "Prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me."

"What do you want pen and ink for?"

"Write a letter to Lei Yuxiu." Chang Xiaoman said lightly.

Gu Yunzheng felt a little uncomfortable as if his head had been hit by a stick, "What do you want to write?"

"Tell him about my recent situation, and then ask him about his recent situation. In fact, there is nothing particularly important."

The maid brought the pen and ink, and Chang Xiaoman dipped the pen in the ink, but he couldn't write it for a long time.

"Why don't you keep writing, have you forgotten how to write?" Gu Yunzheng's voice was as light as cloud dust, hiding his jealousy in his light tone.

"It's been too comfortable living here with you recently, there's nothing worth writing about recently." She curled her lips, she couldn't tell Lei Yuxiu that she took the initiative to get acquainted with the stunningly beautiful man Le Duo in Kyushu.

Chang Xiaoman put down his pen and didn't write a single word in the end.

On the second day, Changting Garden.

Chang Xiaoman specially wore a newly-made dress, paired it with the latest jewelry from Diancui Pavilion, and the best rouge from Taohualou. He took Gu Yunzheng's carriage and arrived at Changting Garden with great pomp.

But as soon as he got off the carriage, the car from the Prime Minister's Mansion also arrived.

Yu Yuan dressed up and got off the carriage, and went straight to Gu Yunzheng.

"Yuan'er heard that His Highness the Seventh Highness will come to Chang Ting Garden today, and I'm here to invite His Highness to listen to the play with Yuan'er." Yu Yuan completely ignored Xiao Man's existence, and inserted himself between Gu Yunzheng and Xiao Man, with a green tea expression on his face, He took the initiative to take Gu Yunzheng's arm.

Gu Yunzheng gently pushed Yu Yuan's hand away, although his eyes were disgusted, his tone was still gentle and he explained to her: "Miss Yu, Miss Chang and I have already made an appointment to attend a play together today, so I cannot accept your invitation."

"Your Highness Seventh, don't forget that Yuan'er is the concubine His Majesty appointed to marry you. How could you leave Yuan'er behind while listening to other women? If it spreads at this time, the prime minister's mansion will lose face." , Your Majesty will be angry, right?" Yu Yuan squinted at Chang Xiaoman with disdain.

"I heard that Miss Yu Yuan was only given to the Seventh Highness as a side concubine, not the main concubine. Even if Miss Yu is the main concubine, it doesn't matter who the Seventh Highness wants to listen to the opera with?" Chang Xiaoman wrapped the snow on his shoulders Fox Qiu raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yuan.

"Yo... who am I? Isn't this Chang Xiaoman, the daughter of a guilty minister? As soon as Lei Shi fell, you climbed up to His Highness the Seventh Prince. You really have no shame."

Chang Xiaoman wanted to fight back, but evil intentions emerged.

She pursed her lips, and bowed to Gu Yunzheng, "Since your concubine-to-be said that I have no shame in going to the theater with you, Your Highness the Seventh Highness, then Xiaoman will go in and listen to the opera by herself. You can go with your concubine-to-be " After that, she turned around and made a gesture to go to Changting Garden.

Gu Yunzheng stretched out his hand to stop Chang Xiaoman, "Since I agree to listen to the opera with you, I won't bother with other people."

Xiaoman was proud in his heart, but felt aggrieved on his face, "But..."

"It's nothing but, she is not the king's side concubine, what do you want to do with her?"

When Yu Yuan heard this, his face turned green, and he was burning with jealousy, wishing he could tear Chang Xiaoman to pieces right away.

At this time, another gorgeous carriage arrived.

Gu Yunshen got off the carriage.

The shopkeeper of Chang Ting Garden was standing at the door, completely dumbfounded, grinning to the back of his ears.Le Duo's premiere attracted two princes and a lady from the prime minister's mansion, which was beyond my wildest dreams.

"Brother Jiuhuang, I didn't expect you to have the pleasure of listening to operas?" Gu Yunzheng took a step forward with a chuckle, just blocking Xiaoman behind him.

Gu Yunshen naturally saw Xiao Man behind Gu Yunzheng, with a little anger in his eyes, "I didn't have the habit of listening to operas, but I heard that Xiao Man likes it, so I came here to join in the fun."

Chang Xiaoman was dumbfounded in his heart: Gu Yunshen just joined in the fun, why did he talk like it was for me.

In the original book, he deliberately got to know Leduo first.

Chang Xiaoman just imitated cats and tigers, learning from each other.

The owner of Chang Ting Garden respectfully saluted several important figures, "Your Highness Seventh and Higher Ninth, please come in quickly."

Gu Yunzheng and Gu Yunshen glanced at each other, and they walked into the gate of Changting Garden first.

Yu Yuan hurriedly followed Gu Yunzheng, turned around and gave Chang Xiaoman a deadly stare, that look roughly meant that Chang Xiaoman would surely die if he dared to rob her.

Chang Xiaoman didn't care about Yu Yuan, on the contrary, he didn't see Wan Chenglin who was supposed to be here.

After waiting for a while, she found that Wan Chenglin hadn't come before slowly entering Changting Garden.

As soon as they entered the hall, they heard arguing.

Yu Yuan said angrily, "What? The best seat has been booked. Shopkeeper, you'd better think it through before you speak."

The shopkeeper bent over and smiled apologetically, "Your Highness, Miss Yu, I'm really sorry, the private room of Tianzizi has indeed been booked. However, I would like to help some of you to negotiate with the reservation guest to see if she is willing Give up the private room."

"Go, go." Yu Yuan ordered impatiently, "I want to see who dares to compete with us for a room."

The shopkeeper smiled graciously, and walked up to Xiaoman who was the last to enter, "Miss Chang, look at the private room of Tianzihao..."

When Yu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and said, the private rooms in Changting Garden are usually only reserved for people with high status, and they are generally not available.Today, she also wanted to take advantage of the prestige of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.But she never expected that the person who booked Tianzihao's private room was actually Chang Xiaoman.

Chang Xiaoman smiled slightly, "Let's just give up this private room to Ms. Yu."

"You're smart!" Yu Yuan snorted coldly at Xiao Man, then turned around and said to Gu Yunzheng with a shy smile, "Your Highness Seventh, will you come with me?"

Chang Xiaoman shook his head, thinking that a silly girl like Yu Yuan is really stupid and stupid, thinking that if she snatches the private room, Gu Yunzheng will be able to listen to the opera with her, it is really dumbfounding.

The shopkeeper asked courteously, "Miss Chang, please follow me to the private room of Dizihao. The decoration there is no different from that of Tianzihao, but the location of watching the opera is not as correct as Tianzihao, but it is a little bit off."

Chang Xiaoman didn't agree, "Shopkeeper, you don't need such a good private room. Although it's not covered but it's too far away from the stage, you can arrange me in the hall, the first row off the stage over there."

Gu Yunzheng walked to Xiaoman's side, "I don't like sitting on the second floor to listen to the opera either. Since Xiaoman has chosen a seat, I can sit at the same table with her."

"Since Brother Qihuang and Xiaoman both said that the hall on the first floor can hear better, I, who is listening to the opera for the first time, naturally follow the two. Then I ask the shopkeeper to add another chair for that one, and the two of them Sit together. Brother Qihuang, Xiaoman, do you mind?"

"Why would you mind?" Chang Xiaoman said with a smile, "There are so many people."

The shopkeeper quickly nodded and asked Xiaoer to make arrangements.

Yu Yuan also ran over and ordered to the shopkeeper, "I want to have a table with them too."

The shopkeeper's expression became very embarrassed, and he explained in a good voice, "Miss Yu, this theater can only seat three guests at a table, look..."

"Why can only three sit?!" Yu Yuan asked with his arms akimbo.

"This……"

Chang Xiaoman covered her mouth and said contemptuously, "Since Miss Yu Yuan wants to have a table with us, she can join us, as long as she doesn't mind that her back is facing the stage."
