Chapter 32 This Princess Likes to Listen to Opera
at the same time.
Lin Wanwan sat in the east courtyard of the Princess's Mansion, gently waving an exquisite round fan in her hand. She used Hua Yu's cooling ointment, and the breeze was gentle, and she could smell a cool, sweet fragrance.
It smells really good.
Hua Yu sat beside Lin Wanwan with a teacup in hand: "Princess, have some tea."
Lin Wanwan gently took the teacup and sipped it gently: "It tastes good."
Hua Yu smiled brightly upon hearing this: "Princess, a man came to your house yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan put down the teacup.
Hua Yu hurriedly explained: "Princess, Hua Yu is not jealous. I have known since I was a child that Hua Yu's wife cannot be the only one. If you don't have this tolerance, how can you get along in the harem."
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan looked at Hua Yu and said frankly, "You are so generous that this princess is a little surprised."
Hua Yu continued to smile sweetly: "Princess, you were not at home yesterday, and a man named Zhang Zhirang came. Is he also..."
Lin Wanwan hurriedly said, "It's not what you think."
At this time, Nanny Li's voice came from outside the door, "Princess, I have consulted several carpenters about this design, but they all shook their heads and said they couldn't understand it and couldn't build it."
Nanny Li rushed in from outside the yard with the toilet design drawings.
Lin Wanwan glanced at Hua Yu and suddenly remembered something and asked, "You said Zhang Zhirang, where is he now?"
Hua Yu smiled and said, "Princess, I heard his purpose and have arranged for him to stay in the backyard."
"Yes." Lin Wanwan nodded with satisfaction: "Madame Li, please find Zhang Zhirang."
Nanny Li nodded and left the yard.
Not long after, a handsome man in a coarse blue shirt came in. This man was Zhang Zhirang. He looked very embarrassed among the three of them.
"Madame Li, give the design of the toilet to Zhang Zhirang." Lin Wanwan said with a smile.
"Zhang Zhirang, go back and think about it, and help me build them. Build three in the east courtyard, and the remaining twenty in a row. Build them in the corner of the west courtyard near the west side."
Zhang Zhirang heard this and took the toilet design from Li Mama and examined it carefully. The more he looked at the structure, the more surprised he was:
"Wonderful! Who painted this?"
"This princess painted this." Lin Wanwan said with a faint smile.
Zhang Zhirang had an expression of admiration on his face, and he carefully looked at the lines and markings above, his eyes revealing concentration and seriousness.
He gestured with his fingers from time to time, thinking about how to transform the ideas on the drawings into actual objects.
Lin Wanwan looked at him expectantly: "Zhang Zhirang, I believe you can definitely build a toilet!"
Zhang Zhirang smiled and nodded, responding, "Don't worry, Princess. I will do my best. However, it may take some time to figure it out and try it out."
"Okay." Lin Wanwan said with a smile.
Zhang Zhirang took the blueprint and left the yard.
Hua Yu asked: "Can he do it?"
Lin Wanwan said, "Okay."
Then, she looked up at the sky, her expression calm yet with a hint of elusiveness.
She turned to Madam Li beside her and said, "Madam Li, go find Liu Yiruo. This princess wants to hear him sing a song."
Nanny Li was slightly stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she still responded "yes" and hurried to look for Liu Yiruo.
Soon, Liu Yiruo was brought to Lin Wanwan. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face, but at this moment his face was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Greetings, Princess." Liu Yiruo bowed.
Lin Wanwan smiled slightly and gently raised her hand to signal him to stand up, "Liu Yiruo, this princess wants to hear you sing a verse."
When Liu Yiru heard this, she immediately looked embarrassed and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, this..."
Lin Wanwan said, "Just sing the part about the princess failing the imperial examination that you sang in the theater during the day."
Liu Yiruo knelt down and said, "I dare not. The prototype of the princess in this play is you. I really dare not."
Lin Wanwan shook her head gently, her eyes gentle but firm.
"It's okay. This princess just likes to listen to opera. Just sing."
Liu Yiruo hesitated again and again, but seeing Lin Wanwan's firm attitude, he had no choice but to agree.
Liu Yiruo stood in the middle of the courtyard, cleared his throat, and began to sing. His voice was a little trembling at first, but gradually he was immersed in the drama.
When Hua Yu heard the opera, his eyes darkened. He looked at the princess beside him, but she seemed not to have heard it and remained calm and composed.
She had an elegant posture and a face as calm as water, but her eyes were slightly lowered, as if she was thinking about something.
Hua Yu's expression gradually relaxed, and a warm smile appeared on his face again.
Wang Yinyi and Wang Yiner were sitting together chatting in the west courtyard of the Princess's Mansion. Suddenly, Wang Yinyi heard the sound of opera singing coming from a distance.
Liu Yiruo's singing is sometimes sonorous and powerful, sometimes soft and melodious, and his unique timbre makes people unable to help but stop and listen.
"What is this?" Wang Yinyi listened attentively.
Wang Yiner listened carefully for a while, and a pleased smile appeared on her face.
"Isn't this song about Lin Wanwan failing the exam? It's really gratifying!"
Wang Yinyi also laughed, "Humph, she is always so high and mighty, but now she has to be so embarrassed."
As they listened, the two men laughed unabashedly.
Liu Yiruo sang more and more passionately in the courtyard of the East Courtyard. His every movement and every look was filled with emotion.
Lin Wanwan sat quietly in the rocking chair, without any anger or shame on her face, just listening attentively.
Finally, Liu Yiruo finished singing. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he looked at Lin Wanwan cautiously, waiting for her reaction.
Lin Wanwan clapped her hands gently, with an appreciative smile on her face.
"You sang well, Liu Yiruo."
Liu Yiruo felt relieved and quickly bowed again, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
Lin Wanwen smiled and said, "Qingqing, go get 500 taels of silver and give it to Liu Yiruo as a reward."
Liu Yiruo was surprised and delighted, and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Take this money. This princess likes to listen to ditties. I happen to have a storybook in my hand. Take it back and compose a new song according to this princess's story."
Qingqing handed him five hundred taels of silver and a few pages of storybooks.
Liu Yiruo took the silver and nodded repeatedly, "I will do my best to live up to the princess's expectations."
[System prompt: Health value increased by 10 days, a total of 50 days, 2 hours and 30 minutes]
After Liu Yiruo left, Lin Wanwan was still sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought.
Seeing Liu Yiruo walk away with five hundred taels of silver, Hua Yu could no longer suppress his doubts and asked anxiously:
"Princess, he is so rude, why aren't you angry? Instead, you give them money!"
Lin Wanwan just smiled lightly, with a hint of mystery in the corners of her mouth, but she did not answer.
Qingqing, who was standing by, pouted and squatted beside Lin Wanwan, helping Hua Yu to speak up: "Princess, this actor is clearly scolding you, and you still rewarded him with 500 taels of silver?!"
Lin Wanwan gently fanned Qingqing on the head and smiled: "Hua Yu, the sun is a bit too strong, come inside."
Then she stood up from the rocking chair, fanning herself, and walked into the room with the help of Hua Yu.
Wang Yinyi and Ye Sisi were in the East Courtyard, still talking about the play they had just heard.
……
In the study of the Vice Minister of Justice's residence.
The guard commander Qin Jun stood upright in front of the desk, his brows furrowed and his expression serious, as he reported on some of his recent work.
"But, there is one more thing." Qin Jun continued to clasp his hands together, bowed slightly, and reported to Ouyang Qingyu who was sitting behind the desk:
"Sir, recently in Liqing Garden, the actor Liu Yiruo has been singing the story of Princess Anning Lin Wanwan failing the imperial examination. This has caused a sensation in the city."
Ouyang Qingyu was wearing a dark official uniform, with a stern face and deep eyes. He gently put down the brush in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "Is this true? He directly said Princess An Ning?"
"That's not the case." Qin Jun shook his head and then said, "But everyone can guess, sir, that this play has spread widely and has caused great damage to the reputation of the princess."
Ouyang Qingyu frowned, looked at Qin Jun with deep eyes, and said, "Qin Jun, go check the details of Liu Yiruo."
Qin Jun bowed and replied respectfully, "Sir, I have already found out. After Liu Yiruo became successful in singing opera, he abandoned his childhood sweetheart and hooked up with his opera fans. In order to increase his influence, he was obsessed with singing some unorthodox stories to make money quickly."
Ouyang Qingyu showed a complicated expression on his face and said, "Bring Liu Yiruo to the mansion. I want to personally inquire about this matter."
Qin Jun responded, "Yes, sir! I will do it right away."
After saying that, Qin Jun turned around and strode out of the study.
