Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child - Chapter 398
Chapter 398: Watching the Show
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At night, Xiao Juan could not sleep.
He used to sleep alone and never thought there was anything bad about it.
But now he couldn’t fall asleep. He felt that something was missing from his side.
He struggled through until dawn.
The emperor sent someone to summon him to the palace. He did not even have time to eat breakfast before changing into his official uniform and leaving the Langjun Imperial Palace in a hurry.
Therefore, only Yu Niaoniao and Lo Pingsha ate breakfast today.
Lo Pingsha was very worried about Yu Niaoniao, afraid that she would let her imagination run wild.
He took a long time to come up with a topic.
“It’s a holiday. What are you going to do?”
With his reminder, Yu Niaoniao remembered that she was on holiday today. She did not have to clock in to work at the Justice Department.
She thought for a moment before saying, “I’m going out for a while to do something.”
Lo Pingsha said, “Do you need me to accompany you?”
Yu Niaoniao shook her head to indicate that there was no need.
“Go about your business. Don’t worry about me. I can do it myself.”
Although that was the case, when Yu Niaoniao went out, Lo Pingsha still found an agile Eagle Guard to quietly follow behind her to protect her.
Yu Niaoniao did not know that there was someone tailing behind her.
She rode the donkey through the streets and alleys before finally stopping at the entrance to the Sky Oriole Garden.
As one of the most famous theaters in the Imperial Capital, the Heavenly Oriole Garden was filled with guests every day. It was still morning, but the entrance was already filled with carriages and guests.
Most of the people who came to watch the show were men. Occasionally, there were also rich daughters or madams.
Although Yu Niaoniao was wearing men’s clothes today, one could tell from her eyebrows that she was a woman.
The clerk in charge of receiving guests at the door greeted her and asked enthusiastically.
“Did you arrange a theater ticket in advance?”
Yu Niaoniao shook her head and said no.
The clerk immediately said, “Then I’m sorry. We’ve sold out all our opera tickets today, but there are still some tomorrow. If you need them, you can book them now.”
Yu Niaoniao was surprised.
She did not expect this place to be so popular. She could not enter without booking a ticket in advance.
However, she could not have a holiday tomorrow. Even if she bought a ticket, she could not come. She had to give up.
“Forget it. I’ll check with another place.”
Yu Niaoniao was about to turn around and leave when she turned around and saw an acquaintance.
It was the Vice General of the Heavenly Wolf Guards, Wei Liao.
He was wearing a blue round-necked brocade robe with a black leather belt at his waist and a folding fan at his waist.
Her black hair was raised high, and a strand fell from his forehead.
He had either deliberately forgotten or the first button on his collar was not fastened. The collar was turned down.
Coupled with his amorous peach blossom eyes, he looked very much like a playboy.
He casually threw the whip into the hands of the follower behind him and slowly walked up to Yu Niaoniao. He whistled, his expression extremely frivolous.
“Yo, isn’t this the Princess Consort of Lang County? Why are you in the mood to watch the show here?”
Then, he looked at Yu Niaoniao’s side and realized that she was alone. He raised his eyebrows.
“Why are you alone? Didn’t your person come?”
Yu Niaoniao said vaguely, “He’s busy.”
Wei Liao looked enlightened.
“No wonder! It seems that Duke Lang neglected you, so you came here alone to have fun.
Yu Niaoniao glared at him angrily.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not here to have fun.’
Wei Liao crossed his arms and smiled faintly. “What else can you do if you’re not here for fun?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I naturally have my reasons. There’s no need to tell you.”
The clerk from the West Garden did not expect the young lady in male clothes in front of him to be the Princess Consort of Lang County.
He was immediately frightened. He had actually rejected the Princess Consort of Lang County. Would Duke Lang rush over with a saber and slash him when he found out?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He stammered.
“Princess Consort, I was blind just now. Please forgive me for offending you.”
Yu Niaoniao did not take what had just happened to heart.
She replied casually.
“It’s fine. I’ll get going.”
Wei Liao stopped her. “Aiya, since you’re already here, come in with me.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “But I don’t have a ticket.”
Before Wei Liao could say anything, the staff hurriedly said.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a ticket. It’s our honor that the Princess Consort can come to our place to watch the show. You can come whenever you want.”
Yu Niaoniao did not expect her status as the Princess Consort to be so useful. If she had known earlier, she would have just revealed her identity and entered the venue.
The clerk bent down and invited them in enthusiastically.
Yu Niaoniao had also followed her parents to the theater in Bashu to listen to opera in the past, but the theater in Bashu was completely different from the theater in the Imperial Capital.
She started looking around as soon as she entered. Whatever she saw was refreshing.
Wei Liao was different. He was a regular here and was very familiar with it. It had long lost its novelty.
Compared to watching the things in the theater garden, he found the Princess Consort’s reaction more interesting.
He had been secretly observing Yu Niaoniao. He saw her crane her neck and look around with wide eyes as if neither of those actions was enough for her to get a good look.
When she saw someone performing a backflip on the stage, she stopped involuntarily and opened her mouth to exclaim.
Ha, she looked like she had never seen the world!
When the backflip on the stage ended, the audience cheered. From time to time, someone threw money onto the stage.
Yu Niaoniao could not help but clap hard. “So amazing!”
Wei Liao said disdainfully, “He’s just putting on a show.”
Yu Niaoniao deliberately provoked him.
“If you look down on him so much, go on stage and perform. What’s the point of just talking?”
Wei Liao sneered. “You want me to perform on stage? You’re not good-looking, but you sure have beautiful dreams.”
With that, he walked up the stairs.
Yu Niaoniao lifted her skirt and followed. “Compared to the number one beauty in Phoenix Nation, I’m indeed not good-looking.”
When Wei Liao heard this, he immediately turned around and glared at her angrily.
“Shut up!”
In The Record of Phoenix Cry Nation, the little mute was the number one beauty of Phoenix Cry Nation.
And the little mute looked very similar to Wei Liao.
When Wei Liao heard Yu Niaoniao’s words, he immediately thought of himself. How could he not be angry?!
Yu Niaoniao giggled.
“I’m talking about the little mute, not you. Why are you in a hurry?”
Wei Liao wanted to curse, but he thought of something and swallowed his words.
“I’m busy today. I won’t lower myself to your level.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped him.
“Wait a minute. Do you know who the troupe master here is? Can you take me over to see him?”
One look at Wei Liao and she knew that he was a regular here. He must know the troupe master here.
Wei Liao smiled. “Alright, follow me..”
