Royal Gold Magistrate

After a full meal, the group set off for the Taoyuan Grand Theater under the leadership of Fang Zhengyi.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and many officials were still talking about what kind of drama they could watch at such a late hour.

It was only when I entered the Grand Theater that I suddenly realized that the interior space of the theater is huge, similar to modern theaters, but there is only one floor.

There are several huge lamp stands on the stage with oil lamps on them, and the surrounding walls are also full of oil lamps.

And there are mirrors on the wall behind the oil lamp to reflect the light to the stage position.

The seats in the theater are even more unusual. They are all dark-colored sofas covered with cloth covers, which are extremely soft to sit on.

The emperor naturally sat in the middle, with Li Miaohan and Li Yuanzhao on both sides, and Fang Zhengyi naturally arranged for himself to sit next to the princess.

As soon as Emperor Jing sat on the sofa, he sank into it.

I was a little startled at first, but soon discovered the beauty of the sofa, it was soft and comfortable, as if floating in mid-air.

Then narrowed his eyes and said: "Fang Qing... I am far inferior to you in terms of enjoyment. What is the name of this chair?"

Fangzheng smiled and said: "This is called a sofa, and I specially prepared it for His Majesty. If His Majesty likes it, I will order someone to make a few more and send them to the palace after returning to Beijing."

It is said to be specially prepared, but it is actually a newly replaced sofa cover.

Back then, in order to improve the living standards of the common people and solve their boring personal life by the way, Fangzheng spent a huge sum of money to build this theater.

The construction cost of the entire Taoyuan Theater was second only to the Taoyuan County Government, but Fang Zhengyi regretted it after the repair was completed.

He doesn't like to watch the performances performed by the people of Taoyuan. He babbles in a costume and is very boring. After watching a few shows, he doesn't come back anymore.

Later, he saw that theater tickets were selling well, and he wrote a lot of stories himself, such as the abbreviated version of Journey to the West and the Legend of the White Snake.

The box office is also good, but that was a long time ago, he doesn't know what is popular in theaters now, he just asked Ao Chen to arrange a few good-looking shows in a letter before the arrival.

Baiguan sat on the sofa in amazement, feeling left and right.

He wanted to ask Fang Zhengyi, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Li Yansong leaned on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief: "Oh...it's really nice, it's really nice here, I also want to get two chairs like this at home."

"It would be even better if there is one in the public house. The old man's waist has been hurting all these years, and it's much more comfortable to sit on this chair."

Zhang Dongxiang said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, why don't you go and ask Fang Zhengyi where this chair is sold. I want to buy two too."

"Why don't you ask yourself?"

"I am at odds with villains!"

........................

After everyone was seated, the maid began to serve tea. Naturally, the emperor's family drank the usual Fang Zhengyi's tea, while the others drank the high-grade Tianxian tea.

Fang Zhengyi specially prepared another small dessert for the princess. Li Yuanzhao showed a pair of red eyes across Jingdi, and locked on Fang Zhengyi tightly.

Fangzheng ignored it all the time, and said to Li Miaohan: "Your Highness, today's show is very exciting, especially at the end there is a story of the White Snake, which tells about the beautiful love between humans and gods...I guarantee that Your Highness will make this trip worthwhile."

Li Miaohan nodded with a smile, she was already very happy to be out of the palace today, except that she was a little uncomfortable on the road, but after arriving in Taoyuan County, everything made her feel very fresh.

As soon as Fangzheng finished speaking, he moved closer to Emperor Jing and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the show will start soon, and I will go out and make arrangements."

Emperor Jing agreed.

Then he walked straight out of the theater and found Ao Chen who was on duty outside the door.

He opened his mouth and asked, "How is the sweet potato in the field?"

"Master, don't worry. After I receive the letter, I will order people to guard it day and night. If there is no problem, I will leave the best piece of land for you, and I will guarantee a good harvest!"

Fangzheng patted him on the shoulder: "Good job! Watch the guards add a piece of ginseng to dinner!"

"How are the preparations for the show? What are you preparing for?"

Because I don't know what programs are popular in the county, I just gave Ao Chen a general instruction in the letter, and then named and selected the Legend of the White Snake.

Sitting with a beautiful girl princess is not the whole poignant love story. Look at it, isn't it plausible?

After hearing this, Ao Chen suddenly slapped his thigh, annoyed: "Oh! I forgot to inform the troupe that today is a performance for His Majesty, and only told the theater to clear the venue today..."

"But master, don't worry, we've seen the programs in the schedule and agreed to your request, so we forgot to give a special explanation!"

Fangzheng frowned: "It's okay, just perform as usual, but what program are you performing today?"

Ao Chen thought for a while and said, "Well...the first children's show, High School Musical, the second was Fang Qingtian angering Chen Shimei, and the third was The Legend of the White Snake, just these three."

After listening, Fangzheng frowned.

Fortunately, these programs are indeed very suitable, and His Majesty and Baiguan must not watch these programs at ordinary times, and they will definitely be refreshing and fresh.

"Not bad! That's it, just act normally."

"One more thing, have people from Prince Wu's Mansion been to the county recently?"

"I've been here, I bought a batch of wine as usual, no more, no less, nothing special, as usual, is there any problem, sir?"

Fangzheng thought for a while: "Pick two good men from the county to go to Beijing, don't let others know, go to the capital and check King Wu."

Ao Chen looked serious: "Don't worry, master, I'll go back and make arrangements."

Since entering the capital, I have dealt with Wu Wang's subordinates twice, and once came to the door by myself.

The other time the other party took the initiative to come to the door.

But Luo Ningxin's attitude towards herself when she went to Zangxiang Pavilion was too enthusiastic.

Although King Wu had no malicious intentions, Fang Zhengyi was deeply upset by the feeling of being behind the scenes.

When I was in Taoyuan County, I begged to see the King of Wu but couldn't, and now I came to see myself in the capital... What kind of routine is it?

The most important thing is that Wu Wang Mingming is a well-known idle prince in the capital.

The ability in private is probably far beyond the imagination of ordinary people...the problem must be serious.

Then Fangzheng asked many questions about the county one by one.

In the middle, I went back to the entrance of the theater and glanced at the performance on the stage through the crack of the door. A group of children were dressed like flowers bouncing around.

It looked like performing a Spring Festival Gala, stupid as hell, and I don't know why the people in Taoyuan are willing to watch this kind of bad show, but they retreated when they saw it was boring, and then chatted with Ao Chen about the situation in the county.

Time passed bit by bit, and most of the time had passed.

It was only after Fangzheng rushed into the hall that he realized that The Legend of the White Snake had reached the late stage.

Fang Zhengyi was stunned at the door behind the theater.

The emperor and his officials looked back at him slowly, their expressions full of complicated emotions.

Then he turned his head back slowly, neatly...
