Chapter 156: The Secret Finally Reveals (Part II)

Last time. Nurhachi told Zhang Fan. That day, he and Zhu Yijun were extremely bored because they were poor. I followed the sound of drums and walked into a theater garden.

About that. Zhang Fan is understandable. When Zhu Yijun was in the capital. Today, the queen of Longqing, Empress Xiao'an, is sickly due to her frailty. Reside in Besukiya. And Longqing likes his queen very much. Especially in his last queen, Xiaoyi Zhuang Empress Li was in because of her biological son. After the death of Zhu Yili, the prince of Huaixian. He died early under exhaustion. Long Qing misses his deceased wife again. is also very fond of today's Xiao'an Queen Chen. Some troupes are often allowed to perform in the palace. Once to please Queen Xiao'an. Let her be able to relieve her boredom.

But as I said before. Zhu Yijun as the crown prince. Every time there is a troupe in the palace. He had to be there. However, every time I listen to the play. Zhu Yijun felt deeply tortured. After that, lethargy. Longqing, Empress Xiao'an, and Zhu Yijun's biological mother, Li Guifei, were not unaware of this situation. However, Zhu Yijun is very obedient in the palace on weekdays. Plus whether it is Longqing or Queen Xiao'an. Or maybe his biological mother Li Guifei likes Zhu Yijun's child very much. Especially Empress Hyo-an. Due to the absence of children under the knees. Zhu Yijun was treated by her as her own son. On weekdays, I love it even more. If Zhu Yijun made any mistakes. Long Qing or Li Guifei wanted to punish him. He will inevitably go to the palace where Empress Xiao'an lives to hide and beg for mercy. Although Empress Xiao'an will severely reprimand Zhu Yijun every time. But she would never hit him. It's too late to hurt. Even if it was Long Qing or Li Guifei chasing after him. Empress Xiao'an immediately changed her face. Defend Zhu Yijun in every possible way. This made Long Qing and Li Guifei very helpless. Except for Longqing letting Xiao'an. Concubine Li Guifei is also very considerate of this sister. never reprimanded Zhu Yijun in front of her.

But because of this. Empress Xiao'an never cared about inviting Zhu Yijun to watch the play. And he would openly doze off.

But that's not the point. The point is. Zhu Yijun has never had a good impression and patience for listening to dramas. Ming Dynasty drama. Nanqu has four major vocal chambers. They are Haiyan cavity, Yuyao cavity, Kunshan cavity and Yiyang cavity. The dramas that use these four vocal cavities as the singing method all have strong local characteristics. Very popular with local Baixin. And for Zhu Yijun. He didn't like music very much, and even those opera troupes in the capital sang with a singing voice that he could understand. He wouldn't like it. This is a drama in the local language of Fujian. How could he possibly like it.

However, Zhang Fan only thought about it slightly in his heart. He was more concerned about what happened to make Zhu Yijun so lingering in that theater garden.

"At the time. The garden was very noisy. There are many people. Plus it's summer. Not for a while. Your Highness and I were sweating profusely. Then. His Highness was very uncomfortable. He immediately gave up and continued to hide with those who followed him. I'm going to get out of there. Nurhachi continued. It's just that when we're about to go out of the garden. Met a woman. No. It is better to say that His Highness is too anxious to go out. I didn't see the road ahead carefully. Thus bumping into a woman. ”

Zhang Fan was immediately interested when he heard this. He knows. What you want to know. The woman who made Zhu Yijun fascinated for the past few days finally appeared. Merely. Nurhachi's description made Zhang Fan feel. This can really be attributed to chance. There's not a hint of intrigue in it. If you insist on saying something. That's a bit of a coincidence. The scene that Nurhachi said reminded Zhang Fan of the beginning of the year. How did I meet Yingyue when I was in Yijinai? And at that time, Yingyue approached Zhang Fan with a purpose. This made Zhang Fan a little nervous. But he didn't take it too seriously. After all, his own encounter with Yingyue can be said to have been deliberately facilitated by Yingyue. But Zhu Yijun's situation is very different. If this is really a conspiracy set up by someone. How could the other party be so sure that Zhu Yijun would definitely enter that theater garden. But now Zhang Fan has got too little. It's really not enough to judge the interest in this matter.

"At the time. His Highness was unharmed. It's just because it was so sudden. His Highness didn't come back to his senses for a while. He was about to fall to the ground. At the time, I was a little confused by this situation. There was no movement. But fortunately, His Highness bumped into the woman. Grabbed His Highness by the hand. Hold in your arms. This did not cause His Highness to fall to the ground. Nurha said chimen. It seems that he is still thinking about the scene at that time. She helped Her Highness to her feet. I'm immediately checking to see if His Highness has been injured in any way. And he looked very anxious. Later, I almost cried. Her Highness and I came back to our senses and saw her like this. is also in a hurry to persuade her. persuaded the old man for a long time. She stopped crying. Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the theater garden at that time. Plus there is singing on stage. It's noisy. We didn't alarm anyone else. After sitting down. His Highness asked to find out. It turned out that she saw the luxurious clothes worn by His Highness. I'm afraid that there will be some damage from the collision just now. We'll ask her for compensation. That's why I almost cried. My Highness and I listened. It's good to talk for a while. She stopped crying. But there was still some disbelief in the look in our eyes.

After that. Her Highness and I sparked a conversation with her. According to the woman. Her name is Ruan Er. Since I was a child, I was not old enough to name the girl's family. My father and mother died. So there is still no name. Only use the nickname Ruan'er to call it. Except for herself. She also has a brother who is much younger than her. Unfortunately, her brother is not in good health. At the age of eight, he fell seriously ill. but there was no money for him to be healed. Ruan Er just watched her brother die in front of her.

"Ruan Eryou has been busy with life since she was a child. Frequent shuttles through the streets. On weekdays, I listen to the singing of those opera gardens a lot. She can also sing a few lines. I often sing to my younger brother. After his brother's death. Ruan Er lives alone without relatives and for no reason. It's just that she looks very ordinary. It's not a national beauty. But she was sixteen years old after all. I want to work in a big family. But people disliked her for being too rude. I don't know the rules. Don't want her; I live alone. She's a girl. Hardship won't say. And constantly harassed by those ruffians. In the end, there was really no way. She had to find a theater garden by herself. I'm going to sell myself to the owner of the theater. People who are too good can't look down on it. Ruan'er, who was too bad, still couldn't protect herself from being bullied even if she went in. I had to choose this small drama team now. After all, if you follow the troupe on weekdays. Those ruffians are bold and reckless. You also have to worry about being attacked by the crowd. After all, there are many hard-working people like Ruan Er in the troupe. Just right. This troupe was missing a small corner during that time. The boss listened to Ruan Er's singing. I think she's not bad. Plus the boss wasn't too bad. It's also for Ruan'er's hard work. She was left behind. ”

After listening to what Nurhachi said. Zhang Fan understood how they had encountered. However, Zhang Fan still couldn't understand why Zhu Yijun was so fascinated by this Ruan'er. Ruan Er's life experience is miserable. But there are many people in the world who are worse than her. Even Zhang Fan has it in the story he told Zhu Yijun. How could Zhu Yijun care so much about this Ruan'er.

"Here's what happened after that." Nurhachi seemed to know Zhang Fan's confusion. Immediately began to explain. Her Highness listened to her story. In addition to sympathy, he also began to talk to her. According to Ruan Er. She still helps out on stage today. Not the main character. However, the owner of the opera garden thinks she has good qualifications. I was going to let her play a leading role or something. It's just that I found out. His Royal Highness talked to this Ruan'er. Not much of a voice. Instead, he kept looking at her. And the same is true for Ruan Er. I was very curious. But it was inconvenient to ask His Highness what was going on on the spot. I had to wait there. Protect Your Highness.

"By the time it was getting late. I found that His Highness still refused to leave. Fortunately, the owner of the opera garden seemed to have something to do with Ruan'er. And I found that the people sent by the Lord to follow His Highness to protect him were also very anxious. I had to remind His Highness that it was time to go back. His Royal Highness then agreed to leave the theater and come back. But I see when His Highness is leaving. It's a bit reluctant. The same goes for that Ruan'er.

"After coming back. Your Highness has asked me to do everything I can to assure you. Don't tell anyone what happened. Especially you, adult. I agreed. But I'm curious. In addition, the adults have been very busy in the past few days because of the Japanese attack on the sea ships. Often not here. I had the audacity to ask His Highness why. Who knows why His Highness won't tell me. He blushed. I asked a few more questions. But His Highness paid no attention to me. He turned around and went back to his room.

"The second day. Your Highness and I before we go out. A few people were called to protect him. and commanded them in every way not to follow them any more. After going out the door. His Highness has not gone anywhere. went directly to the theater garden. The opera garden is not too early. However, His Highness is very patient. Seeing Ruan Er busy there, he didn't mean to bother. Wait until the theater is ready to open. Ruan Er had a play in the first scene. His Highness was the first to enter when he found out. Grabbed a good seat in the front row. Wait until the drama begins. The main character appears. The people below applauded. His Highness is lacking in nature; But when Ruan Er came on the field. Even if the role she plays doesn't matter. The audience did not react. His Highness, however, immediately stood up and clapped his hands. And His Highness, he didn't care about the surprised eyes of others.

"Wait until Ruan'er's play is over. His Highness immediately abandoned his seat in the front row. Go to the back and wait in a cleaner place. Really. Ruan Er took off her makeup and came over immediately. His Highness and her chatted again. The owner of the theater found out, but he didn't stop it. Just tell Ruan Er not to forget the scene she is going to take the stage below.

"His Royal Highness and Ruan Er are talking about ordinary things. Although Ruan Er did not know the identity of His Highness. But he knew that His Highness was born rich. Reluctance to talk about one's own affairs. His Royal Highness is unrelenting. Follow-up. and also swore that he would never do this to mock Ruan Er or anything. Ruan Er only then began to speak. But that's what she said. I also know why His Highness and her talked so much. ”
