Ji Yingying left the palace and went straight to the shop Xiangxiang had mentioned, only to find out upon entering that it was a teahouse.
[When did you open the teahouse? Business seems to be good.]
[Opened by the Fifth Prince and Princess Jiahe.]
[Tsk tsk~ This young couple is quite good, they know how to make money.]
Just as Ji Yingying was about to find a seat, the Fifth Prince and Princess Jiahe arrived.
"Yingying is here. Come upstairs and sit down. Today's play is about the domineering prince falling in love with me."
"What the hell?" Ji Yingying was shocked. There was actually such a thing. But then again, both TV series and movies were made based on novels and scripts.
This is not a big deal.
After watching it, Ji Yingying felt a headache coming on; the acting was just too bad.
[It's a good book, but it's really unbearable to read. The actors are not good, not my script.]
[Tsk tsk~ It's only because people of this era haven't experienced stage plays before, otherwise it wouldn't be so lively.]
"Then why don't you help me? He's the Fifth Prince after all, an acquaintance of yours."
I'll ask around later what the benefits are. If there are benefits, I'll help; if not, I won't even glance at it.
[That's right, you only see the good now.]
Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm the one who runs a shop that's expensive.
The Fifth Prince and Princess Jiahe were just waiting for her to say that. Before she could even come up with an excuse, they asked, "Yingying, you have so many ideas. Do you think our shop needs any renovations? Don't worry, you'll definitely get a big red envelope."
As he said this, he put a purse in Ji Yingying's hand. Ji Yingying felt the weight of the purse and was satisfied!
He chuckled and said, "Training actors? How do you train them? You train their acting skills, you have to train them to bring out the details in life, that's the only way."
Ji Yingying exchanged two books on an actor's self-cultivation for him to read, and told them what they were supposed to do. She also asked them to write a guideline after reading it.
In short, it was done quite well.
"Okay, okay, thank you Yingying. The next scene is about to start, let's see how it goes." After much persuasion, they managed to get her to stay.
However, Ji Yingying also planned to stay and watch it again. Sometimes she felt that the acting was not good, but after not watching it for a long time, it still felt fresh.
[Host, this really won't do. Stop watching and let's have some fun. There's a little juicy story out there, shall we have a piece?]
[Speak quickly!] Ji Yingying was eating tea and snacks while looking outside, feeling a little drowsy.
[Do you see that actress on the stage? The female one.]
[I saw it, what do you say?] Ji Yingying took a look and showed no interest. The makeup was not good-looking, not even as good as those of the concubines in the palace, who all thought it looked good.
She was sold to a brothel, and then bought by a gentleman to be his concubine on the first night of the auction.
【Oh, my concubine! 】
[Yes, yes, and she originally just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to compete with the mistress for favor. But because she was pregnant, she angered the mistress and was then falsely accused of adultery.]
I guess so.
The man didn't believe her and kicked her out. After she got out, she thought she was going to die, but she was saved by a passing opera troupe. From then on, she starred in the troupe's performances.
Are there any more?
[Yes, the troupe leader is quite good-looking, and he has an admirer. That admirer thinks she's trying to seduce the troupe leader, so he's been framing her. She wants to fight back, but she's still a bit too weak.]
This is her last performance; she will leave the opera troupe after this one.
【How to frame? 】
[It's not one of those white lotus frame-ups, pretending to be pushed, wrongly accusing her, and no one saw her, so she can't say anything even if she has a mouth, or pretending to be beaten, etc.]
Are we all blind?
[They are all siding with that admirer. If you were her, what would you do? ]
[There are no ifs and I'm not going to make assumptions. I can tell you what I do.]
How to do it?
[Fight back. If she hurts herself once, I'll hurt her ten times. Doesn't she like that class owner? I'll just find a nice guy to seduce that class owner. Men are all animals who think with their lower body. He makes things difficult for me, and she wants to compete with me. So I'll make things difficult for her. Let those who compete with me get scolded and beaten.]
After all, that troupe leader is blind; we can't keep someone like that.
"Rong Er"
Rong Er appeared immediately, though he was almost too afraid to show himself, since he was the one who tricked Ji Yingying into returning to the capital.
Even if he didn't do that, he would still be punished, and it would be by Madam Fang, so Ji Yingying wouldn't be able to plead for him.
"Go pick up that woman later. My farm is short of people, and she can help."
"yes"
[Is this all the relief?]
[Well, it would be terrible if I didn't save her and just watched her die. It wasn't her fault.]
[Yeah, are you still enjoying the melon? There's one more, about the boss.]
Speak quickly.
[I just have a penchant for homosexuality, you know what I mean.]
Wow, this is a really good piece of gossip! What do you mean?
[He's the class leader, so there are a lot of people trying to curry favor with him, and then... you know what kind of demands the people being flattered will make.]
[Just tell me if it's up or down!] This kind of melon isn't rare; it happens all the time.
【you guess……】
[Just tell me, are you going to guess or not? Tell me now, or don't blame me for being impolite.]
Oh, it's that kind of... this kind... and that kind.
Ji Yingying pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Is it the kind I'm thinking of, this kind?"
Ji Yingying had seen the fire-avoidance diagram, hehe, she had actually stolen her parents' fire-avoidance diagram to look at it.
She saw it by chance, stole it, and read it all that night.
Just as I was about to put it back, it was discovered! Discovered! Shocking, right?
She had been very careful, but she didn't know how her mother found out. Not only was she found out, but she was also forced to kneel for ten days—a full ten days!
If it weren't for the knee brace, her legs would be ruined.
[Yes, yes, yes?]
Can he handle it?
【Good fellow, he is not a human being! 】
Ji Yingying sighed. Any girl who marries a man like that can only...
[I won't interfere anymore, let's leave it at that and continue...]
"Ahem..." Ji Yingying suddenly heard her mother's voice and looked back stealthily. The feeling of stealth was so strong that it made people think she was very funny.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"I heard you came here after court, so I came here specifically to see you."
[Hehe, I feel like I'm being monitored, but I have no evidence.]
Fang Yulan: ...That’s right, you are being monitored, so what?
"Mom, have this. It's delicious, really." Ji Yingying picked up some dried meat for Fang Yulan. It was obvious that the dried meat was produced by her shop. No, many of the dim sum in the entire teahouse were from her shop.
The Fifth Prince! He's a real talent, he knows his stuff!
