The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

As the gongs and drums sounded, Liu Yiruo, wearing exquisite costumes, walked onto the stage with light steps. His graceful singing and vivid performance instantly brought the audience into the world of the play.

Su Ye sat on the chair, stopped fanning himself, and listened quietly.

Liu Yiruo sang the lines of the opera, vividly showing the greed and coldness of her second husband:

"The princess passed away and I, a widower, married again. I was greedy for wealth and glory, and I didn't care about the tears of my daughter."

The audience was listening intently, and they were all filled with indignation. A wealthy businessman in a satin robe slammed the table in anger and shouted:

"Such shameless people are worse than pigs and dogs!"

An old man next to him was also so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and stomped the ground with his cane, making a loud "dong dong" sound:

"What a sin! How could this Imperial Censor be such a heartless person!"

In a corner, a young scholar clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth:

"To have such despicable behavior is intolerable! When I pass the imperial examination, I will definitely speak up for the princess!"

On the stage, Liu Yiruo's performance became more and more exciting.

When the Censor was away, the second wife immediately changed her attitude and made things difficult for the princess in every way.

Liu Yiruo put her hands on her hips and started to curse in a shrill voice:

“You little bitch, do you still think you are a royal child? Now I have the final say in this mansion, get out of here and go work in the woodshed! Eat bran and rotten food...hahahaha..."

However, the Imperial Censor turned a blind eye to all this and instead favored his newly married wife and children.

He sat in the hall, looked at the princess coldly, and said disdainfully: "Humph, a girl without a backer still wants to put on airs in front of me. From now on, you are a servant in this mansion."

Su Ye listened carefully, the play was over!

Ah Si said softly, "Master, are you crying?"

Su Ye was suddenly aware of his tears streaming down his face. He had never imagined that the princess' life was so hard. No wonder when he first met the princess, she was selling paintings in Hongyue Tower.

In the theater, the audience's anger reached its peak. Someone smashed the teacup in his hand against the stage and cursed:

"This Imperial Censor should be cut into pieces!"

Some people even stood up excitedly and wanted to rush onto the stage to teach those "bad guys" a lesson.

The theater owner walked up to the stage with a big smile on his face, bowed with both hands, and said in a loud voice:

"Dear guests, dear gentlemen, please calm down, please calm down! This play is just made up, please don't get angry."

Liu Yiruo also hurriedly bowed deeply, with a guilty look on his face, and said sincerely:

"Everyone, I am truly sorry. This play was written to showcase the various aspects of human life. It was never meant to deliberately target or slander anyone. It is my fault that you have been angered. I apologize to you all."

Seeing Liu Yiruo being bullied, a noble lady in the front row, who was dressed elegantly, blushed and said loudly:

"Don't touch Liu Yiruo! He is just putting on an act."

Another noble lady also shouted, "That's right, Liu Yiruo is so talented and he is dedicated to bringing us a good show. How can you be so unreasonable and want to hurt him?"

"Stop right there!" Another noble lady put her hands on her hips, "Liu Yiruo is our idol. If anyone dares to hurt him, I will never forgive him."

However, the audience's anger was not so easily quelled, and they demanded justice for the princess.

The commotion in the theater had not yet completely subsided, but Su Ye in the private room suddenly stood up, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said loudly:

"I think you sang this play very well!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Su Ye. He waved his hand casually, took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to Ah Si.

Su Ye raised the corner of his mouth, with a bit of unruly: "Here is 10,000 taels of silver, reward for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. People were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths and started whispering to each other.

"Ten thousand taels, this Mr. Su is really generous!"

"That's right, but Liu Yiruo's performance today was indeed brilliant, and he really deserves the appreciation of Master Su."

Liu Yiruo was originally still worried about the anger of the crowd, but when he saw the 10,000 taels of silver, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply:

"Thank you for the reward, Master Su. Liu Yiruo will definitely work harder."

Su Ye laughed, patted his shoulders with his fan, and loosened his muscles: "Sing well, keep singing, just sing this story, I am counting on you!"

After saying this, in the astonished gazes of everyone, Su Ye swaggered out of the theater, waving his folding fan.

After walking a short distance, Su Ye's smile gradually faded. He could not get over the princess's experience in the opera, so he walked towards the eldest princess's mansion.

……

The sunshine grace shines on the streets and alleys of the capital.

At this time, Ouyang Qingyu personally escorted Lin Wanwan back to the Princess's Mansion. Along the way, the carriage moved slowly forward, and the noisy drama outside the carriage seemed to be isolated in another world.

Today, Ouyang Qingyu asked the guard commander Qin Jun to drive the carriage, and he sat in the carriage, next to the princess. He stood tall and looked calm.

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes. She naturally noticed that he had specially taken a carriage to attend the morning court.

In the carriage, Ouyang Qingyu was the first to break the silence, his voice was low and magnetic:

"I have already made arrangements regarding Liu Yiruo."

Lin Wanwan looked at him calmly, her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. She opened her lips softly: "Oh? How did you deal with it?"

Ouyang Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Just like the princess, I am waiting for an opportunity."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she smiled lightly, with a subtle hint of meaning in her smile: "Isn't today the right time?"

After saying this, she gently lifted the curtain of the car window, looked at the scenery outside, looked towards the direction of Liqing Garden, and said no more.

Ouyang Qingyu looked at her thoughtfully, secretly planning his next move in his mind.

Suddenly, Tian thought of the play about the princess, in which the princess died on the night she turned eighteen.

He suddenly had an idea, his face was stern, his eyes were unfathomable, and he turned to look at her: "Who are you?"

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes and looked.

Ouyang Qingyu stared at him closely, his eyes were like a bottomless pool, his voice was low and questioning:

"Who are you anyway?

In the storyline compiled for Liu Yiruo, the princess died of a cold and a high fever.

So who are you in front of me?"

Lin Wanwan had a slender figure. At this moment, she stood with her back straight and her cold face showed no emotion.

Ouyang Qingyu continued to question: "Princess An Ning has been silent for eighteen years. Now, in just a few days, the name of the princess is known to everyone in the entire capital city."

Lin Wanwan raised her chin slightly, her eyes firm and cold, and answered without hesitation:

“The dung beetle is extremely filthy, but it transforms into a cicada and drinks dew in the autumn wind; the rotten grass is dull, but it transforms into a firefly and shines brightly in the summer months.

Lord Ouyang, you know that purity often comes from filth, and brightness often comes from darkness. "

Ouyang Qingyu remained silent, pondering her words over and over again.

Lin Wanwan's voice was clear and powerful, echoing in this small space: "I am Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan."

When Ouyang Qingyu heard Lin Wanwan's answer, he seemed to have figured out what she had just said, and a hint of imperceptible admiration and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Then, the corners of his tense mouth slowly rose, revealing an unfathomable smile.

The wheels rolled, and the exquisite sachets hanging on the walls of the carriage swayed gently with the shaking of the carriage, emitting a faint and elegant fragrance. The people in the car stopped talking.

The carriage soon arrived at the Princess's Mansion.

"Princess, you are finally back." Nanny Li waited outside the mansion for a long time and finally saw the princess being brought back by Ouyang Qingyu's carriage.

Nanny Li watched Ouyang Qingyu holding Lin Wanwan's hand and slowly getting off the carriage. This intimate scene made her rub her eyes a few times.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wanwan asked in a faint voice.

Nanny Li finally came to her senses, "Princess, there's news from the palace that Ye Sisi will be married to the Crown Princess, and today is Ye Sisi's birthday.

At this time, the West Courtyard was bustling with activity. The princess was seriously ill yesterday, and she had to sit on the imperial concubine's couch. I arranged for several servants to prepare the couches, and here..."

Just as Lin Wanwan was about to walk towards the couch, Ouyang Qingyu lifted her up in his arms.

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him. The sunlight made him shine brightly, and the light was so dazzling that she immediately looked away.

"Put it down. This princess can walk on her own."

Hearing what she said, Ouyang Qingyu curled his lips slightly, "It's time to let everyone in the Princess's Mansion know me, Ouyang Qingyu."

Lin Wanwan looked up with a hint of surprise, only to see him lower his eyes and say calmly, "Princess, there's no need for the servants to carry you. I have plenty of strength. I'll carry you in."

Ouyang Qingyu stepped forward with a smile on his lips and glanced at the servant at the door: "Tell the people in the mansion that Ouyang Qingyu is here."

When the servant at the door heard this, he hurried into the west courtyard to report.

When Ouyang Qingyu saw the servant go in to report, his eyes were as deep as the sea. He looked at Lin Wanwan quietly for a few seconds, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he strode into the Princess's Mansion.

Nanny Li at the back blinked and looked at the two of them. When did the princess become so close to Lord Ouyang?

At this time, Ye Zhaobo had not returned home after leaving the court.

The only people in the west courtyard were Wang Yinyi, Wang Yiner, Ye Sisi, and a group of close friends who came to celebrate Ye Sisi's birthday.

When the group heard the news that Ouyang Qingyu was coming, especially the noble ladies who were celebrating Ye Sisi's birthday, they all rushed out to greet him.

When the ladies arrived at the courtyard, they saw that Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were filled with endless pampering and tenderness, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, outlining an intoxicating smile.

His arms held Lin Wanwan tightly, and his steps were steady, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

This scene under the sunlight made the surrounding area lose its color.

Seeing this scene, everyone was so envious that they were speechless for a moment, and some people in the front row even secretly glanced at Ouyang Qingyu from time to time.

"He is Ouyang Qingyu?"

"He is so handsome."

"Ouyang Qingyu! It is said that he is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting since he was a child."

"What is the relationship between him and Princess An Ning? They were hugging each other just now."

Ye Sisi felt extremely sad after hearing this, but she had to maintain a good attitude and walked towards Ouyang Qingyu with understanding: "Sir, the princess's sister..."

Ouyang Qingyu glanced at Ye Sisi.

Ye Sisi felt a chill all over her body and stopped herself from saying anything.

Seeing everyone watching, Lin Wanwan said calmly, "Put it down."

Ouyang Qingyu smiled: "No."

Lin Wanwan raised her eyes to look at him, anger in her eyes.

"Princess." Ouyang Qingyu lowered his eyes, and when they looked at each other, he revealed a mysterious smile: "I find that the princess is quite passive when it comes to emotional matters."

Lin Wanwan asked: "What do you mean?"

Ye Sisi looked at this dazzling scene, stepped forward to break the atmosphere, and said to Lin Wanwan: "Are you here to show off your love?"

Lin Wanwan said coldly: "Who do you think is the dog?"
