Yu Niaoniao stood up and wanted to walk, but the Bone SofteningPill had already taken effect. All the bones in her body felt as if they had been soaked in vinegar all night. They were sore and soft. Not to mention walking, even standing up was a problem.
She could only sit obediently in her chair.
This was a small cubicle backstage. The cubicle had no door and was only covered by a curtain. There was a table in front of her. There were some fruits, refreshments, and a small window beside it.
She could see the situation on the stage through the window.
There was still some time before noon. It was empty, and there was no one below the stage.
Yu Niaoniao still refused to give up.
It didn’t matter if she couldn’t see. She could still listen.
At this moment, there were people everywhere backstage. The opera troupe was busy putting on makeup and dressing up, preparing for the various matters before the performance.
Among them were voices, footsteps, and various sounds of moving things.
Yu Niaoniao pricked up her ears and carefully distinguished the voice. Soon, she found a familiar voice among the many voices—
“Today is the time for our troupe to become famous. Everyone, you have to act well later. If you act well later, you will definitely benefit!”
Yu Niaoniao’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t this the voice of that little fatty, Zheng Changle?!
So it was Zheng Changle’s opera troupe who came today!
She was immediately amused. What a coincidence!
Yu Niaoniao was constantly paying attention to the commotion outside.
When she heard footsteps outside, she pretended to drink tea, but when she picked up her teacup, she deliberately tilted her hand and the tea poured out. She immediately cried out, “Ah! It’s so hot! It hurts!”
The people passing outside the cubicle immediately stopped when they heard this voice.
This person was none other than the young master of the Sky Oriole Opera Troupe, Zheng Changle.
Originally, his father should have brought the opera troupe into the palace to perform today, but unfortunately, his father had been sick recently, so he could only take over.
Just now, the Crown Prince had sent someone to add a cubicle backstage and even instructed everyone not to approach it, let alone enter it.
Although Zheng Changle was curious, he did not dare to ask further.
He had just happened to pass by the cubicle and did not expect to hear a woman’s cry from inside.
The voice sounded more and more familiar.
Zheng Changle involuntarily stopped and wanted to hear more when he saw a eunuch run out of the cubicle.
Zheng Changle was shocked and was about to run off when he was stopped by the eunuch.
“Wait a minute!”
Zheng Changle could only stop and say respectfully, “What can I do for you,
Eunuch?”
The eunuch raised his chin slightly. “Go prepare a clean dress.”
Zheng Changle took the opportunity to ask, “Do you want to change your
Miss’s clothes?”
The eunuch said coldly, ‘You shouldn’t ask so much!”
Zheng Changle shrank his neck resentfully. “Yes.” He turned dejectedly and walked away.
After a while, he returned with a clean dress.
He raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door frame of the cubicle first, but on second thought, he retracted his hand and lifted the curtain to stride in.
“Eunuch, I brought you the dress!”
The eunuch and palace maid in the room were shocked. The palace maid hurriedly took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Niaoniao. The eunuch scolded Zheng Changle angrily.
“How dare you barge in without permission? Do you know your status? You’re just a commoner. If you offend a noble, can you bear the responsibility? Get out!”
Zheng Changle was still young and thin -skinned. After being scolded like this, he immediately blushed. He wanted to retort, but he could only hold it in.
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll leave now.”
He placed the dress on the table and prepared to turn around and leave.
Yu Niaoniao suddenly stopped him.
“Wait a minute.”
Hearing this familiar voice, Zheng Changle was finally sure that the other party was the Princess Consort of Lang County!
He looked up instinctively.
Yu Niaoniao reached out and nudged the palace maid in front of her. “I haven’t even spoken. Why are you arguing?”
The palace maid apologized, but her body still stood rooted to the ground, unwilling to move.
Yu Niaoniao could only put her hands on the arms of the chair and twist her body with difficulty. She craned her neck and stuck her head out from behind the palace maid.
She looked at the stunned Zheng Changle and smiled.
“Little fatty, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you.”
Zheng Changle really wanted to ask why the Princess Consort of Lang County was here.
However, he sensed that the palace maid and eunuch beside him had strange expressions, so he tactfully chose to shut up and obediently walk up to Yu Niaoniao.
“What can I do for you?”
Yu Niaoniao pointed at the teacup on the table. “I accidentally spilled the tea just now. Make me another cup. Also, prepare a few books to relieve my boredom.”
Zheng Changle hurriedly replied, “I’ll do it now.”
With that, he left the cubicle.
The eunuch then left, leaving the palace maid in the cubicle to help Yu Niaoniao change her clothes.
Soon, Zheng Changle returned.
He put the hot tea and storybook he had just made on the table and asked, you have any other instructions?”
Yu Niaoniao pointed at the clothes on the stool beside her.
“That’s my clothes that I accidentally wet just now. Please take it down and help me clean it up.”
The palace maid suddenly said, “You should take your clothes back and let your own people wash them.”
Yu Niaoniao glanced at her. “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
The palace maid lowered her eyes. “I’m just thinking for you.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Even your Crown Prince can’t control me. What right do you think you have to control me? Do you think you’re stronger than His
Highness?”
The palace maid turned pale with fear and hurriedly knelt down.
“I definitely didn’t mean that!”
Yu Niaoniao snorted softly, then looked at Zheng Changle.
“Why are you still standing there?”
Zheng Changle hurriedly reached out and picked up the stack of dresses. “I’ll take my leave.”
He hugged the dress and quickly ran out of the cubicle.
He didn’t stop until he had run a long distance.
Recalling what had happened in the cubicle just now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The Princess Consort of Lang County clearly knew him. Why did she pretend not to know him?
At that moment, a small note fluttered down from the dress in his arms.
Zheng Changle immediately bent down and picked up the small note. There were only two lines written on it—
There was a change in the palace. Leave the palace quickly and inform Duke Lang about this!
Zheng Changle was shocked. Was something about to happen in the palace?
Was she serious?
After thinking about it, he decided to believe the Princess Consort of Lang County for once.
The troupe was ordered to enter the palace to perform. It was impossible to cancel the performance at the last minute.
Zheng Changle could only leave the opera troupe in the palace to perform as usual, while he found an excuse to leave the palace alone.
At the same time, Xiao Juan finally returned to the Imperial Capital after traveling day and night..
