Qiao Chao looked at the young eunuch who came back to report, "You say."

The young eunuch knelt on the ground, "The queen said that she would stay outside tonight and come back tomorrow. It seems that she is here for the performance at Lai Fu Restaurant."

Qiao Chao: "Laifu Restaurant?"

Young eunuch: "Yes, there is a grand performance at Lai Fu Restaurant tonight, and many people are going to watch it."

When Qiao Chao heard this, he said, "I'm coming. Go and prepare the horses." The meaning was very clear, he wanted to go over now.

Everyone immediately got up and moved. Qiao Chao went back to his room, changed his clothes, and led his men out of the palace. The guards guarding the palace gate wanted to stop them, but when they saw Eunuch Qian Song sitting in front of the carriage, they said, "Master Qian Song."

Qian Song gave him a token, and the guard waved his hand and asked someone to open the palace gate. Soon the carriage left.

The guard whispered to the people around him, "I don't know who needs money, Eunuch Song, to send someone out in the middle of the night."

"Who cares who he is? It has little to do with us anyway."

"Too."

As soon as Qiao Chao left the palace, he sent someone to the Lai Fu Restaurant. At this time in the Lai Fu Restaurant, Zhen Yue was sitting in a private room on the second floor. The window was open, and she was sitting by the window. She had been playing outside the palace all day today, and happened to hear that there was a performance at the Lai Fu Restaurant tonight, so she stayed and sent someone back to say that she would not be going back tonight.

As for Qiao Da... forget it, he is busy anyway, and she has her own people with her, so he should understand.

At this moment, she had no idea that Qiao Chao had already left the palace to find her. Many people also came to the lobby of Lai Fu Restaurant, including various dignitaries and nobles. Zhen Yue saw familiar people, and some officials had also come.

There were women as well, but most of them were covered with curtains, so it was hard to tell who they were.

Suddenly, Chunxiu pointed at the person who just came in and said, "Madam, those seem to be Master Si and Master Wu."

The twins of the Qin Wang family were still very conspicuous, but today they were dressed in ordinary clothes, and it seemed that they did not have a private room. They just sat in the lobby on the first floor, and were followed by a servant.

Zhen Yue just glanced at it and said, "Don't worry about it."

"Yes."

Soon, perhaps because the people below were getting impatient, they started asking, "Didn't they say there was going to be a grand performance? Why hasn't it started yet?"

"Let's get started!"

The shopkeeper quickly stood on a round platform in the middle of the lobby on the first floor. The middle of the entire restaurant was empty and circular, like a patio, but the top was closed.

From Zhen Yue's position, she could see the people in the box opposite, but at this time Zhen Yue was holding a fan in her hand with the fan placed on her face, so no one could see what she looked like.

Many people came today, including many dignitaries and nobles. Occasionally someone from the opposite side would glance over and not think anything of it, and then just ignore it. Now everyone was looking at the shopkeeper standing on the stage.

"Dear guests, please don't be anxious. Today's tea is free. Let's drink tea first. Do you see that incense stick? When the incense stick burns out, our performance will begin."

When everyone saw that there was only a little bit of incense left, they stopped being anxious. Some of them asked the shopkeeper to give them some food quickly. How could there be no food because a performance would start soon?

In the box, Chunxiu was peeling chestnuts while Zhenyue ate one at a time, but her mouth got dry easily and she needed to drink some water.

"The incense is about to burn out!" Xia Nong on the side suddenly said.

Zhen Yue took a glance, and then music started playing below. From the aisle in front of the stage, dancers in cool pink clothes began to walk onto the stage one by one.

With the music playing and red sleeves dancing, Zhen Yue smelled a very sweet scent, which was the scent of a woman.

Suddenly, a red silk rolled down from the stage. Zhen Yue looked up and saw a woman in a red dance costume that only covered her long legs and chest, revealing her slender waist. She had bells on her hands and a bell belt tied around her waist. She grabbed the red silk and fell from the sky!

Ding Ding Dang Dang~

The music suddenly became intense. A woman in a red dance costume stood in the middle. She had no veil on her face. Zhen Yue took a look and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were delicately made up, with long eyeliner and gold powder on them. She looked like a peacock.

She had a pretty face, and most importantly, her dancing skills were excellent, similar to what she had seen in the palace.

But I don’t know if the dances in the palace are more traditional. After watching them so many times, they just feel like they are just so-so. The ones seen outside make Zhen Yue feel like her eyes are brightened.

This is probably because after eating too much meat and fish, you feel that the small dishes are almost the same.

As soon as the dance ended, the people below cheered and some even threw coins and silver onto the stage.

Zhen Yue reached out to the side, and Chunxiu took out ten taels of silver from her purse. Zhen Yue weighed it and felt it was a bit heavy. "I'm afraid it will hit someone. Make it smaller for me."

"Yes." Chunxiu took out one or two taels of silver.

Zhen Yue leaned out of the window and threw a tael of silver onto the table.

Just at this time, Qiao Chao arrived at the gate of Lai Fu Restaurant. After he led his people in, the dance just ended and those people left one after another. Qiao Chao did not look at the stage, but looked at the people in the lobby.

Qian Song on the side suddenly said: "Master, I think I saw Chunxiu on the second floor."

Qiao Chao: "Ask the shopkeeper where his wife is."

"Yes."

Qian Song found the shopkeeper and took out a silver ingot. "We want to find a lady with a maid. That's our lady. Do you know where she is?"

Of course the shopkeeper didn't remember. There were so many people here today, so he could only ask the waiter to come over. The waiter couldn't remember clearly either, "I forgot whether it was the Tian or Ren number above. It should be those two."

The shopkeeper looked at Qian Song and said, "Sir, look..."

Qian Song threw the silver and said, "Okay, got it."

Qian Song came back quickly and told Qiao Chao. Qiao Chao took his people upstairs and went to Tianzihao first. After all, it sounded more prestigious. But when Qian Song knocked on the door, the person who opened it was not someone Qian Song knew. "Sorry to bother you," Qian Song said.

The man looked at Qian Song and suddenly opened his eyes wide. He immediately bowed and said, "Eunuch Qian!" Then he looked at the person behind Qian Song, his legs softened, "Your Majesty..."

Qiao Chao winked at Qian Song, who immediately covered his mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. The master is leaving the palace incognito today, so don't make any noise."

The man nodded and bowed to Qiao Chao.

Qiao Chaoze walked to the gabled room on the side and started knocking on the door. Zhen Yuezheng inside was sticking her head out to watch the performance below. At this moment, a "magic" was being performed in the middle of the stage. A large box was wrapped in black cloth, and someone on top was "casting a spell".

Everyone watching was looking forward to it, after all, a flower suddenly appeared in the empty hands of the performer, which surprised everyone.

Zhen Yue also found it quite interesting. She didn’t expect that there were magic tricks in ancient times?
