Chapter 83

Even when the New Year is approaching, the East Street in the capital is full of people.Unlike the high-ranking officials and dignitaries on the West Street, there are many caravans coming and going here, and if the family has a little extra, they can make a small fortune here.Therefore, West Street has become a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, brothels and gambling shops are next to each other.

At this time, if there is a two-horse-drawn cart driving on the street, it will definitely attract pedestrians to avoid and turn back frequently.

Wen Jing opened a slit from the car window, and the noisy voices and lively atmosphere outside poured into the carriage.

Jiang Xufeng gently held her with one hand, and Wen Jing turned around and asked with a smile: "Why did your Highness think of coming here to listen to the opera?"

"The biggest theater building in the capital is at the end of this road. I heard that they specially lined up a 'New Year's Beast' for the New Year. It was interesting to read the playbook, so I brought the princess to join in the fun."

Wen Jing's dress as an ordinary woman today is more suitable for her gentle temperament, and her face seems to have a layer of soft light.She quite likes the atmosphere of West Street, but it's a pity that it's too messy to go down for a walk.

Wen Jing frowned, and kissed Jiang Xufeng's side like a dragonfly: "The concubine Xie Your Highness is still thinking about the concubine."

The shopkeeper of the theatrical building had already received the notice that His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess were coming. He wanted to clear the venue, but Zhu Zhan refused.Afraid of being neglected again, she has been waiting at the door tremblingly.

Wen Jing was helped out of the carriage by Jiang Xufeng. The shopkeeper lowered his head and led Wen Jing and Jiang Xufeng to the private seat on the second floor. Along the way, they could only see butterflies dancing on the princess's shoes as if they were about to come alive.

Everything was ready, the stage was set up, and the singing began as soon as the gong sounded below.

This play deserves to be carefully prepared by the troupe to make a fortune during the New Year's festival.The plot progressed step by step, with ups and downs. Wen Jing watched and devoted herself to it, keeping time with her hands.

During the period, Jiang Xufeng left once, but she didn't pay much attention.

After an aria was sung, the audience in the audience cheered one after another, some offered rewards, and some threw gold, silver and other valuables on the stage.

The protagonist is the head of their troupe, Huadan, with a gentle voice and a very good accent.

Wen Jing also became interested, and greeted Lan Tiao: "Go, reward her."

Jiang Xufeng also smiled, and said to Zhu Zhan, "The troupe has some ability to make the princess happy, so let's see and appreciate it."

The next scene is also very interesting, but Jiang Xufeng and Wen Jing can't stay in the theater all day, so I'm afraid they won't be able to watch the two shows in the afternoon.

Wen Jing was still a little unsatisfied until she got into the carriage, Jiang Xufeng pinched her cheek: "The princess likes it, there will be another one in a few days, I will accompany you to watch the second half."

Wen Jing was a little embarrassed herself, and grabbed Jiang Xufeng's troublesome hand: "Your Highness still has government affairs, how dare I bother His Highness."

Jiang Xufeng pretended to be stern: "Does the princess look at it?"

Wen Jing hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Your Highness!"

Jiang Xufeng shook his head and smiled, and put his arms around Wen Jing's waist: "There is also a famous Xiangweiju in this West Street, I will take the princess to have a taste."

Wen Jing's taste followed her father's. He likes spicy food. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xufeng also remembered his own preference.

The interior of Xiangwei Residence is elegantly furnished, which is a bit out of place with West Street.The young servant saw that Jiang Xufeng and Jiang Xufeng were dressed in extraordinary manners, and immediately led them to sit in the inner room warmly and flatteringly.

Wearing a bamboo hat, Wen Jing was only focused on looking at the wooden menu hanging on the wall, and accidentally collided with a mighty and strong man walking towards him.

The strong man was carrying the food box in his hand, and Wen Jing bumped into him without even shaking it.He raised his head to meet Jiang Xufeng's gaze, his eyes were very surprised, then he took a step back, cupped his hands and said, "It's not mine, you're so rude, madam."

Jiang Xufeng's expression didn't change at all, he supported Wen Jing, and led her back: "It's okay, my wife is not careful."

After ordering, Wen Jing was very silent, as if she suddenly lost interest in Hunan cuisine.

Jiang Xufeng frowned, and gently stroked the edge of the teacup with his fingers.Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Zhan signaled that Lan Tiao went out with him.

"Your Highness, why is my father's lieutenant Cui Hao here?"

Jiang Xufeng's fingers stopped suddenly, and he looked at Wen Jing with surprise in his eyes. Wen Jing still smiled like that, but Jiang Xufeng could sense that she was just angry.

Wen Jing raised her eyebrows, and continued: "The concubine has a good memory since she was a child, but I haven't seen him for five or six years. Only Vice General Cui has a beard on his chin, and the concubine doesn't recognize it? Besides, Vice General Cui was born in the south of the Yangtze River. , I don’t like spicy food, but my father’s taste is similar to that of my concubine.”

"His Royal Highness left for a while while watching the play."

Jiang Xufeng was speechless for a long time, and finally felt a bit broken, and held Wen Jing's hand: "Gu slowly tell the princess, I just hope the princess will not be angry with Gu."

"Your Highness was joking, how could the concubine do that?"

In the Taichen Palace, Emperor Kande just fell asleep after lunch, and the few eunuchs and nuns who only served him were a little worried.

Emperor Kande ate less and less recently, and his body was very thin. The imperial dining room did not have any effect. He invited the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse and prescribe prescriptions, but there was little effect. It only took half a bowl of rice and a few mouthfuls of vegetables.

After Mr. Xiang came out of the inner hall after serving Emperor Kant, the people outside immediately fell silent.After Mr. Xiang took a few steps, the head of the dining room boldly stepped forward and stuffed a purse into Mr. Xiang's arms: "Mr. Xiang, for the sake of our acquaintance for many years, please give this servant a little reminder."

"The emperor doesn't know how to eat, and our dining room is also anxious."

Eunuch Xiang sighed, but still put the purse in his arms: "Oh, I don't understand these things either, just watch the dinner, it's lighter."

This was already a reminder, and the head catering staff immediately beamed with joy and got what he wanted.Eunuch Xiang had to go back to his errand, and the kitchen manager didn't dare to pester him any more, so he left after saying something nice.

Eunuch Xiang can take a nap in the side room while Emperor Kant is taking a nap, just about to enter the side room.A boy dressed as a servant came over cautiously with a sandalwood box: "Eunuch Xiang, Master ordered me to deliver the newly refined pill."

The servant boy's master is Master Qi from Qin Tianjian, who is in charge of refining medicine for Emperor Kande.

Eunuch Xiang stared at the sandalwood box with an unpredictable expression for a moment, and asked, "Are there still nine pieces this time?"

The servant boy was stunned for a moment, and replied a little nervously: "Eunuch Xiang, last time you told Master to refine one more, saying that it was near the end of the year to make it perfect."

"Ah, yes, look at our family's memory." Eunuch Xiang pretended to be stupefied, "It's nothing, you can go back. When the emperor wakes up, our family will be handed over to the emperor."

The servant boy didn't doubt that he was there, so he left happily. Every time the master offered medicine, the emperor would reward him, and he could also enjoy the glory.

Eunuch Xiang entered the side hall with the sandalwood box, but he didn't notice that a young eunuch guarding the door was hiding his every move through the angle.
