It's all so obvious, how could Nangong Yu not see what Jiang Yunhai meant? Isn't it just that he invested money in Shengshi Bookstore, and now his eyes are red, and he also wants him to invest in their Baiwei Study?

If Jiang Yunhai said this when he first went to Baiwei Study, then Nangong Yu was absolutely willing and did not hesitate. But now...... How could he still go to Baiwei Study to spend money?

Obviously, he had already guessed that Luo Qingluan was the writer behind Shengshi Bookstore, and his purpose was to curry favor with Luo Qingluan, as for making money, it was secondary. Therefore, no matter what conditions Jiang Yunhai offers, even if he is really interested in those stories, he will not agree.

"Jiang Gongzi is late." Nangong Yu laughed meaningfully, "If Jiang Gongzi had been able to say these words to Zai Xia earlier, there would naturally be no problem, but now that I have invested in Shengshi Bookstore, I am afraid that there will be no extra money to invest in your Baiwei Study." ”

"Moreover, I don't think the story of their enmity is not inferior to your three short stories, but I'm afraid it's even better. In that case, why should I throw my money into you? Jiang Gongzi, what I said is reasonable, right? ”

Hearing Nangong Yu's refusal, although Jiang Yunhai was already mentally prepared, he still panicked: "Nangong Gongzi, we are really very sincere, why don't you think about it again?" ”

Nangong Yu stood up directly, picked up the tea cup next to him, and looked like a send-off: "No need, thank you Jiang Gongzi for your kindness, I bothered you to run for nothing." ”

Seeing that the other party made such a gesture, Jiang Yunhai was embarrassed to say it cheekily again, he picked up the book on the table with a gloomy face, and walked away.

When he saw Luo Qingluan, Jiang Yunhai had a somewhat complaining tone, and said the process just now: "Miss Luo, I told you, then it is absolutely impossible for Nangong Gongzi to agree to us." I just went there, but I was humiliating myself. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through, I'm sorry Jiang Gongzi." Luo Qingluan said lightly.

Seeing Luo Qingluan apologize, Jiang Yunhai felt a little better, and returned to Baiwei Study with the book. Looking at his departing back, Xu Lian was a little dissatisfied: "Miss, I don't think this Jiang Gongzi is very good, you just let him touch a nail, he is so unhappy, it can be seen that he is narrow-minded and can't stand it." ”

"Nothing, I can understand him." Luo Qingluan said: "It is estimated that Nangong Yu's speech just now was not very good, Jiang Yunhai may not have asked for anyone before, so it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable." ”

"But he was uncomfortable, how could he speak so to the young lady? He didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for the young lady who wrote them those three stories, how could their Baiwei Study have a good business? Xu Lian pursed her lips with disdain, "It's just that Sheng Shixing has stolen some of the limelight now, so Jiang Gongzi has completely forgotten what Miss did before, it's hard to say, isn't he a white-eyed wolf?" ”

With a faint smile, Luo Qingluan said, "Xu Lian, your words are a bit heavy. Even so, for the sake of Mr. Jiang, we don't have to worry about him, right? ”

Xu Lian smiled again: "I don't look at anyone's face, I just care about Miss, anyway, I will do whatever Miss tells me." ”

Having said that, Luo Qingluan did see Jiang Yunhai's personality from this little thing. Normally, Jiang Yunhai was also respectful to Luo Qingluan, talking and laughing, but when the business was bleak at this time, and he was a little angry with Nangong Yu, he couldn't control his temper.

Luo Qingluan couldn't help but think of the time when Jiang Bingwen was worried before, no wonder Old Man Jiang was reluctant to hand over his study to his son to take care of, maybe these are the reasons. But no matter what, this time she was trying to help Jiang Bingwen, and also to make Nangong Yu suffer, Luo Qingluan didn't have much interest in thinking about Jiang Yunhai.

Three days passed in a flash, and Luo Qingluan went to Xiao Ningyu's princess's mansion on time.

Obviously, Xiao Ningyu was also looking forward to this day, and when she saw Luo Qingluan coming, she immediately took Luo Qingluan to Pear Flower Garden.

Pear Flower Garden is a place in the princess's mansion that usually serves Xiao Ningyu to play, and the layout is very elegant. In your spare time, you can play the piano and paint, or make an appointment with a few noble daughters to listen to the rain and drink tea in the pear blossom garden together.

The ends of the pillars are decorated with pure white silk yarn, bound by thin jasper bands that sway slightly in the wind. There was a large field of wisteria flowers hanging down on the porch, and the air was wafting with the elegant fragrance of flowers, and in the shade, even the heat had subsided a little.

Several maids stood next to them, waiting at any time, and the beauties next to them were also full of melons, fruits and tea, and at a glance, you could see Xiao Ningyu's usual enjoyment. There was a row of men and women standing under the corridor, seven or eight people, all of them wearing costumes, dressing up, applying grease and powder, and there were all ugly characters, obviously Xiao Ningyu was ready.

Seeing Xiao Ningyu walking away with Luo Qingluan, the actors immediately bowed down and bowed.

Mo Ju, the personal maid beside Xiao Ningyu, also said: "See the princess, I've seen Miss Luo, I'm ready." ”

Luo Qingluan swept the men and women in front of him, and his eyes fell on the woman in white in the middle. This woman is about in her early twenties, dignified and elegant, if it weren't for the makeup on her face, the costume, and her respectful expression, I am afraid that she would not be able to see that this woman is actually a singer.

After taking a closer look, Luo Qingluan found that this woman did have Bai Suzhen's expression, and she did not have the shyness of the little jasper, but a little more dignified of everyone's ladies, it seems that the person Xiao Ningyu chose is not bad.

"This is the person who plays the White Lady." Xiao Ningyu looked at Luo Qingluan and introduced excitedly: "Sister Luo, do you think the person I chose is okay?" Her name is Xiao Xiangtao, and she is the pillar of the Tongchun Troupe, I think she plays the White Lady, at least in terms of appearance, it is very good, but of course...... It's still worse than this palace. ”

When the woman named Xiao Xiangtao heard this, she hurriedly laughed and said, "How dare the slave compare with the princess?" ”

Hearing this woman's voice, it was very gentle and pleasant, Luo Qingluan nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good, I think the queen will like it." That's right......" Luo Qingluan looked at the rest of the people again: "Who is the actor who plays the male lead?" ”

Xiao Ningyu pointed to a young man behind Xiao Xiangtao: "Still not coming out?" ”

A young male actor immediately walked out, wearing a green coat, with heavy makeup on his face, looking red lips and white teeth, and indeed a little immortal. He made a gesture at Luo Qingluan: "See the princess, I've seen the girl." ”

Luo Qingluan didn't have the heart to see so much, anyway, as long as Xiao Ningyu was ready.

In order to prove the rehearsal results of the past few days to Luo Qingluan, Xiao Ningyu immediately asked everyone to perform to show the effect. I have to say that Xiao Ningyu really took a lot of effort to prepare, although she is still a little rusty when she acts, but she is better than having a good appearance, a sweet voice, and her own personality is a little similar to Xiaoqing, so she is even more vivid, even Luo Qingluan can't help laughing. If Queen Wei is allowed to see this play, I am afraid that there will be many surprises.

After some performance, Luo Qingluan was quite satisfied, and said some things to Xiao Ningyu to pay attention to, so he only waited a few days to enter the palace to perform for Queen Wei.

……

It was the night before the Tongchun group entered the palace.

A few slender figures took advantage of the cover of night and quietly sneaked into the Pear Flower Garden.

No one is vigilant, not even the patrolling guards are not vigilant, Pear Flower Garden usually has no one to live at all, Xiao Ningyu will only occasionally come here to play during the day, and at night it is cold here and there is almost no one. In the past two days, although there have been more actors from the Tongchun Troupe staying temporarily, everyone in the princess's mansion has not taken it to heart.

It's just a group of plays, the princess will play if she is interested, and if she is not interested, she will let them go out of the house, all the servants and guards don't pay attention to this group of plays, even if they are patrolling, they just go through the motions to prevent water.

Several figures made their way to the ground, one of them lying under the window, the room was brightly lit, and it was obvious that someone had not yet slept.

"Mingxiang, we're going to enter the palace tomorrow, are you nervous?" This is a man's voice, full of tenderness, if Luo Qingluan is here, she can naturally hear that this person is the same person she saw last time, playing Xu Xian's play. At this time, he had already changed into a costume, dressed like an ordinary man, and told the future he longed for to the woman he loved.

"Brother Lang, I'm going to perform for the queen tomorrow, if we perform well, our Spring Festival Troupe will definitely be popular. When the time comes, we can earn a lot of silver, and we can be together. Xiao Xiangyu looked shy, and snuggled up in the man's arms excitedly.

"So, we must seize this opportunity......"

Several dark shadows outside the window glanced at each other, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes, and one of them took out a thin bamboo pipe, stabbed through the window paper, and blew a puff of white smoke into the house.

A moment later, there were two pops in the room, and it was clear that the people inside had been tricked.

Swaggering to push the door in, one of the men in black ripped off his mask and looked at the man and Xiao Xiangyu who fell to the ground: "Hurry up and get these two people out, the order of the concubine Niangniang can't be messed up, otherwise no one will be able to eat and walk around!" ”

The voice faintly warned about it, and the rest of the people were stunned and immediately moved.

However, in half an hour, the entire princess's mansion did not find out that the most important role of the Tongchun group had been dropped.

Following.

In order to celebrate the recovery of Empress Wei's phoenix body, Emperor Dongwan, who had been frowning for many days, heard that his most beloved daughter Xiao Ningyu had prepared a special program for Empress Wei, which made the queen mother happy and happy, and was very relieved, and ordered all the concubines in the harem to come to listen to the play.

The concubines who have not been happy for a long time are naturally overjoyed, not only can they take the opportunity to see Emperor Dongwan, but they can also say hello to Queen Wei, even if they can't enter the eyes of Emperor Dongwan and take the opportunity to invite pets, but they can listen to the drama to pass the time, which is also a good thing for some unfavored concubines.

In Qixia Palace, Concubine Li Guifei dressed up and was graceful and noble, and slowly walked towards Fengwu Palace with the support of the maid.

"Are you ready?" Li Guifei didn't squint, and looked straight ahead, as if what she thought in her heart was not those dark schemes, she was purely going to listen to the play.

The confidant maid whispered: "Guifei Niangniang, you are ready." Tian Lang, the son of the head of the Tongchun Troupe, and the woman named Xiao Xiangyu have already replaced us, and as long as the time comes, they will naturally act according to Niangniang's wishes. ”

"Good!" Li Guifei couldn't help laughing, and there were a few more laugh lines on her eyebrows.

This time, she wanted to see if the woman from Empress Wei was still happy. I'm afraid that I will get sick and fall ill again. Together with Xiao Ningyu and Luo Qingluan, who planned this matter, she will be implicated, and when the time comes, she will see if the woman will be arrogant, angry with Queen Wei, and angered Emperor Dongwan, even if there is an intercession of the crown prince Xiao Yuqi, it will not work!
