Chapter 58 The Eldest Princess Comes to the Teahouse to Listen to Storytelling!

However, the troupe leader hesitated and only said that he needed to think about it.

Ye Yuwu knew that this matter should not be rushed, so she did not urge him. She only told him that if he changed his mind, he could come to Zhiyu Bookstore to find her, but she did not discuss with the troupe leader the latest time to give a clear answer.

After Ye Yuwu and the other person left, the opera troupe packed up and prepared to go back. The troupe leader thought about it and told the people in his troupe about it.

"The Meteor Shower? I've heard of it. It's said to be very popular in Bianjing recently, especially Cha Yun and others who have made a lot of money from this story!"

"Storybooks are really lowbrow. Won't people criticize us for staging these kinds of plays?"

“Sometimes we need to come up with something new. Look at those zaju plays. So many people go to watch zaju plays. There are many categories and no restrictions. Those ‘erotic scenes,’ ‘comedic plays,’ and ‘miscellaneous plays’ in zaju plays are very popular nowadays.”

"Everyone knows the current situation of our troupe. If it weren't for these loyal customers who love Southern Opera, it would be difficult for our troupe to continue operating." The man next to him sighed.

"Linzi is right, Master. It's time to make some changes. Besides, Manager Ye said that we can adapt it into a play ourselves. We can give it a try. With Manager Ye's support, we won't lose much money."

Despite what they said, the troupe leader was still hesitant. He turned his back and said, "Let me think about it some more."

In fact, Ye Yuwu hadn't thought that much about it. She simply compared ancient storytelling to modern radio dramas or audiobooks, while opera singing was similar to an ancient version of "television."

She felt that if she wanted many people to know about storybooks, she had to rely on these two forms of promotion; otherwise, how could she achieve fame far and wide and become known to everyone, young and old?

But no one expected that the tea ceremony and the storytelling of "Starfall Rain" would soon reach the Princess.

In fact, the eldest princess had not gone to the Tianxia Tea House to listen to storytelling for quite some time.

She has been busy with her husband's "honeymoon" lately, although it is all on her end.

Because she had shamelessly snatched this prince consort away.

Tang Yizhi was handsome and refined, and it was because of his looks that the proud and arrogant princess fell in love with him at first sight.

At that time, Tang Yizhi was not only outstanding in appearance but also quite talented. Besides being born into a family of a concubine of the fifth rank, he was far inferior to the noble status of the princess, not to mention that he was already engaged.

But the princess was determined to have him, so she tried to sabotage his engagement and kidnapped him to her residence. This caused quite a stir at the time, and the Grand Master of Ceremonies was so angry that he went to court to petition the princess.

The eldest princess was not afraid. Taking this opportunity, she shamelessly asked her brother, the emperor, to bestow a marriage upon her. The emperor naturally refused, feeling that the man's status was too low, and the eldest princess was marrying down.

The emperor refused, so the princess made a scene every day, almost to the point of confronting the emperor in front of the palace. Left with no other option, the emperor had to issue an edict granting her wish.

However, after the marriage, Tang Yizhi ignored her and stayed in his study all day, busy with his own affairs. The princess tried to coax him every day. When she got really angry, she scolded him harshly, but Tang Yizhi remained cold and did not give any reaction, as if he was used to it.

Over time, after the princess quarreled with Tang Yizhi, she would go to the Tianxia Tea House to listen to storytelling or music. Once her anger subsided, she would naturally return to her residence.

Today was no different. She and Tang Yizhi had another argument. She left the mansion in a huff. Originally, she was going to listen to a storyteller. She was already in a private room at the Tianxia Teahouse, listening to the story being told downstairs. She was furious and felt that the story was being mocked.

The storyteller on the balcony was still recounting how the two had grown up together, inseparable since childhood, but the young lady had taken a liking to them. For the sake of his career, the man left his childhood sweetheart and married the young lady…

After the princess stormed off, the owner of the Tianxia Teahouse belatedly realized what had happened, broke out in a cold sweat, and collapsed to the ground.

How could he have forgotten about the affair between the Princess and the Prince Consort? He even brought it up in front of the main characters. Fortunately, the Princess did not pursue the matter, otherwise it would not have been as simple as just leaving. But Manager Ma understood that he had already lost this important figure.

He slumped to the ground, utterly devastated. It was all over!

The princess sat wearily in the carriage with her eyes closed, while her maidservant tenderly rubbed her forehead beside her.

Without the princess's order, the carriage remained stationary.

The eldest princess didn't know where to go at this moment, so she thought she should go back to her residence first.

The carriage was instructed to head to the Princess's residence.

The journey was bustling, and she could feel the noise of the city even while sitting in the carriage.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and she saw several young women walking in groups in one direction, which caught her attention.

Where are these women going?

The maid glanced outside and said, "They've gone to Chayunhe."

"Chayunhe, is also a teahouse? How come I've never heard of it before? Hmm? There are quite a lot of people here. I was wondering why there wasn't a single person in any teahouses today. Turns out, everyone's come here." The princess perked up a bit. Anyway, she was in a bad mood going back to the manor, so she might as well go and see what was different about this place.

So the carriage stopped at Chayunhe.

Such a grand procession quickly attracted the attention of both those outside and those inside. The princess seemed unaffected by these gazes and entered the teahouse under the protection of layers of guards.

Upon receiving the news, Manager Gao immediately wiped away his cold sweat, so frightened that he almost couldn't speak properly.

Fortunately, the princess did not make things difficult for him, only asking him to prepare a superior private room, as well as the best tea and pastries in the teahouse.

Manager Gao immediately ordered someone to make arrangements, and he led the princess into a private room.

As soon as he came out of the princess's private room, Manager Gao's back was soaked with sweat. He glared angrily at the waiter who was hurrying over with tea and pastries.

"Be careful, don't be careless. The person inside is the Princess! There can be no mistakes!"

The waiter quickly agreed and, after straightening himself up, entered the room.

As soon as the princess entered the private room, the news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching not only the entire teahouse but also half of Bianjing.

Tea Rhyme became famous as a result, and with the addition of the previously mentioned calligraphers and musicians, Tea Rhyme's popularity surpassed that of Tea House of the World.

Unaware of this, the princess took a sip of the tea and was surprised to find it quite good. Unlike the tea she had drunk at the Tianxia Tea House before, this tea had a delicate fragrance and was sweet but not cloying.

Although the pastries were not as good as those in the princess's residence, they were still quite surprising and not bad.

After a while, the storyteller came up on stage. She was surprised because the storyteller looked too young. She wondered what was so special about this teahouse that had attracted so many people.

Wu Hualing, sitting in the audience, was extremely nervous. He had only just learned that the Princess was coming to their teahouse, and his success or failure depended on this opportunity.

Who would have thought that Wu Hualing, who had only been a storyteller for a short time, would encounter the most distinguished guest of his career!

He cleared his throat. He was a little nervous at first, but he became more and more fluent and confident as he spoke.

"As mentioned last time, after Wu Qingzi and Nangong Fengyao cleared up their misunderstanding and got together, the Imperial Concubine quickly discovered it..."
