The sky is exceptionally clear today.

The stone that was pressing on his heart was moved away, and he felt extremely relaxed. Shang Tingli then made an appointment with He Zhiqiang and Xu Jinshu and several other sisters to go shopping together.

Naturally, we went to Liangzhu Pavilion first.

Yesterday, Ke Xin learned that Shang Tingli was going out, so she asked Du Heng to send her 10,000 taels last night. Shang Tingli had no intention of refusing the gift, so when she arrived at the Liangzhu Pavilion, she kept talking about giving gifts to the sisters.

He Zhiqiang was not the first to accept Shang Tingli's gift, but he could still feel at ease. Xu Jinshu and Jing Yuyuan were unwilling to do so and insisted on paying the bill themselves, but in the end they could not resist Shang Tingli's eloquent mouth and accepted her gift without thinking.

After leaving the Liangzhu Pavilion, Xu Jinshu invited everyone to go shopping in a clothing store. They went to Cao Ji Clothing Store owned by He Zhiqiang. He Zhiqiang wanted to give everyone free clothes, but Xu Jinshu rushed to pay for everyone, saying that He Zhiqiang must not suffer any loss.

Maybe someone started it, because when they went to the Meishixuan for dinner later, it was Yi Shuya who paid the bill.

Seeing this, Jing Yuyuan had no choice but to invite everyone to Fengting Tower to listen to the opera.

"I almost forgot. Today there is a play being performed by a troupe from Nanwu. I'm tired of watching the troupes from our capital city. We finally managed to invite a troupe from the south, so I have to let my sisters take a look." Jing Yuyuan said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Shang Tingli had lived in Nanwu since he was a child, and I don't know if he had ever seen this opera troupe.

Jing Yuyuan looked at Shang Tingli and said, "It is said that this troupe has been established for fifteen years. Those who came today are all veterans of the troupe. I wonder if Sister Li will recognize them?"

Shang Tingli asked, "Does this troupe have a name?"

Jing Yuyuan thought about it and said, "It seems to be called something...Chunwu Class?"

Shang Tingli laughed: "Chunwu Troupe? I recognize a few of them. This is an old troupe, and they sing really well."

When she was in Nanwu, her mother often took her to the theater to listen to operas, and the one she listened to the most was the Chunwu troupe.

He Zhiying said: "Then we came to the right place today."

Yi Shuya and Xu Jinshu both nodded in agreement.

"Why are you here? What is this place? Are you here for tea?"

A low and melodious female voice came from the next table, attracting everyone's attention.

It turned out to be Princess Qingqing, who was dressed in northern barbarian clothes. There was a man beside her, who was the current Prince Xuan, Ke Rui.

When Shang Tingli saw these two people, he still felt an indescribable sense of shock in his heart.

When Ke Ming rebelled that day, he thought he was working with the northern barbarians, but he never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by the northern barbarians. The northern barbarians, led by Princess Qingqing, bowed to Emperor Mingwu on the spot and claimed that they, the northern barbarians, had no second thoughts and only wanted to be on good terms with Tianzhao, not to be separated. At this point, Ke Ming became a joke.

Because the northern barbarians did not join Ke Ming in rebellion, the two countries are now living in harmony.

It was also on that day, after Ke Xin confessed to her, that Shang Tingli learned that Princess Qingqing had fallen in love with Ke Rui from the beginning and wanted to marry him.

Shang Tingli also realized that when Emperor Mingwu sent three princes to Shabei to take charge, Prince Ke Xin was the real commander-in-chief.

Once, Ke Xin asked the Second Prince Ke Rui to go to battle in person, and the opposing commander was Princess Qingqing. It was during that battle that Princess Qingqing fell in love with Ke Rui.

After hearing this, Shang Tingli was even more surprised.

In fact, in her previous life, she had no memory of Princess Qingqing. She only remembered that Ke Rui did not marry a wife before he went to his fiefdom, but only had three concubines. She did not expect that the two of them would be together in this life.

In the past few days, she had actually heard a lot about Ke Rui and Princess Qingqing, but most of them were about what Princess Qingqing did to please Ke Rui.

She originally thought that it was just Princess Qingqing's wishful thinking, until yesterday, when Ke Rui actually went to the palace to ask Emperor Mingwu for an imperial decree - Princess Qingqing was promoted from Prince Xuan's concubine to Prince Xuan's wife, and the wedding date was set at the end of the year.

As soon as this imperial edict came out, everyone who was watching the fun realized that His Highness Prince Xuan had feelings as well.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Shang Tingli heard Ke Rui say to Princess Qingqing: "This is both a teahouse and a theater. I'll take you here to have a look."

Shang Tingli and her sisters looked at each other with an indescribable shock in their hearts. They had never thought that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan was such a sentimental man.

A prince who can put aside his status and call himself "I" shows that he cares about others.

After a while, the troupe finally performed the show.

"On the bank of the Spring Pond, I met you for the first time—"

When the actor's voice reached her ears, Yi Shuya couldn't help but look at Xu Jinshu: "Huh? Are Jinshu and the Third Young Master Sima also at Chunchibin?"

Xu Jinshu blushed: "Aren't we here to listen to the opera? Why are you asking these questions?"

Yi Shuya teased and said nothing more.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but say, "I think Chun Chibin is the matchmaker. I don't know how many couples he has helped to bring together."

He Zhiqi asked blankly: "Why do you say that?"

Shang Tingli blinked and said, "My parents also met at Chunchibin."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voice of the actor on the stage:

"I wanted to be the champion of martial arts, but the beauty was attracted to the pretty man——"

"In order to please the beautiful woman, I gave up martial arts and turned to literature, and from then on I became the top scholar in literature—"

Shang Tingli couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why do I feel this script is more familiar the more I listen to it?"

Ever since she returned to her ancestral home, many young people in the capital have heard some gossip from their elders, among which was the gossip about He Dan and Yu Yang's past.

After hearing this, even Yi Shuya found it quite familiar. She glanced at Shang Tingli and thought, why does this song sound like the story of Sister Li’s parents?

What was sung afterwards was simply the life stories of He Dan and Yu Yang. Even the causes of death of the two protagonists were the same as those of his own parents. Shang Tingli was silent after listening to it.

Seven years ago, a flood in Nanwu took away many children silently in an unknown place. Even on the arch bridge of Nanhe Street, some children accidentally fell into the river and were washed away by the roaring waves. But there were also a few lucky ones who were rescued by their parents.

However, after rescuing people from the flood, her parents' bodies were filled with cold air due to being immersed in water for too long. Their cold became more and more severe day by day, and they eventually passed away before they could survive the autumn.

Thinking of these past events, Shang Tingli was speechless for a moment.

"its not right--"

Someone in the audience stood up and shouted loudly: "As long as he had been treated in time, the cold wouldn't have gotten worse. At most, the medicine wouldn't have worked. Why would he die?"

Someone beside this person laughed and said, "Doctor He, you don't have to be so serious. This is just a story."

Doctor He ignored the man and said in confusion: "Even if it is a storybook, it should be more realistic and reasonable, right? Unless you prescribe Poria cocos to the patient, how can the patient's condition get worse? You are a quack doctor!"

"What did you say?"

Shang Tingli stood up suddenly.

Doctor He was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"

He was just a doctor in the clinic on South Street, and he usually saw patients on South Street. Although he loved listening to operas, he had to save up for a month to come here to watch a play, so he did not recognize the wealthy young lady in front of him.

Shang Tingli just stared at him with burning eyes and asked, "You said that Poria cocos cannot be used to treat colds?"
