Chapter 156: Finding a Stepmother for Concubine Gao
Concubine Gao was still waiting to hear what was happening at the government office.
The maid hurried in, "Concubine, Nanny Ji from the Crown Prince's wife's courtyard is here. She said she wants to see you for something important."
"Why is she here?" Concubine Gao's brows were suddenly twisted into a knot.
What could Ji Chuhe want from her at this time?
Concubine Gao's curiosity was immediately aroused.
"Let her in."
Nanny Ji followed the maid and walked in. She stepped forward and bowed, "This old servant greets the concubine."
"Madam Ji, you don't have to be so polite. I wonder why you have the time to come to my place today?"
"I am here to invite my wife to go to the theater to watch a play. Please do me the honor."
Is this...is the sun rising from the west?
Ji Chuhe actually wanted to invite her to watch an opera? What was the opera about?
"Why did the Crown Prince's wife suddenly invite me to the theater to watch a play?" Concubine Gao couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe my wife discovered a good show and specially invited the concubine to watch it together." Nanny Ji's words had hidden meaning.
Concubine Gao chuckled and said that she must go.
"When?" asked Concubine Gao.
"Just today."
"Okay, Mammy, go back and tell them, I'll pack and go."
"Yes, I will resign, old slave."
In less than half an hour, two carriages drove out of the palace and headed for the largest theater in Huaiyang City.
Ji Chuhe booked a private room in advance, located on the third floor, the best location.
You can have a panoramic view of the entire theater, and even get a glimpse of the private rooms downstairs.
"Concubine, please take a seat." Ji Chuhe gave up the main seat.
"Madam Crown Prince, this seat belongs to you, especially since you are the host today." Concubine Gao took a step back.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command." Ji Chuhe sat in the main seat.
Only then did Concubine Gao sit down at the side.
"Bring up a pot of top-quality pre-rain Longjing tea, and bring up all of your signature dim sum." Ji Chuhe instructed the waiter who was waiting at the side.
"Okay, my two distinguished guests, please wait a moment."
On the stage, the show has begun.
The piece sung was an old opera about a woman traveling thousands of miles to find her husband.
Concubine Gao thought that Ji Chuhe would make a fuss about the content of the play when he asked her out to listen to it, but she didn't expect that there was no metaphor in this play.
She suppressed the doubts in her heart and did not speak.
If I lose my temper at this moment, Ji Chuhe will laugh at me instead.
Ji Chuhe listened to the opera attentively and seemed to be very immersed in it.
One play, half an hour.
Concubine Gao found the time very unbearable.
After finally finishing the song on stage, Concubine Gao's gaze shifted to Ji Chuhe.
Before she could say anything, she heard a voice coming from the stage on the first floor.
"Miss Qingyu, you are invited to the private room on the second floor."
The person who was speaking was the troupe owner, and the person he invited was the actor who had just been singing on the stage.
Miss Qingyu stroked her ears and sneered, "Boss, this is a theater, not a brothel. I have never heard of the principle of an actor on stage accompanying guests!"
After saying that, Qingyu brushed her long sleeves, her face full of anger.
The class owner immediately smiled and said, "Ms. Qingyu, calm down. How could I have such intention? It's just that the guest on the second floor is of a special status. He definitely doesn't have that kind of intention towards you. He just admires you and wants to get to know you."
"Isn't it County Magistrate Gao? I know his identity." Qingyu revealed it without any hesitation.
When Concubine Gao heard the name, she immediately walked to the railing outside, searched the private room on the second floor, and sure enough, she found her father!
In an instant, she was a mess!
The hand holding the railing involuntarily increased the strength, and the blue veins on the back of the hand were bursting!
So, this is the show that Ji Chuhe wants to show her!
"Miss Qingyu, I really want to get to know you, because I feel like you are an old friend of mine." Regardless of the occasion, County Magistrate Gao walked directly out of the private room on the second floor.
It can be seen how much he wants to get to know this Miss Qingyu.
He was on the second floor and Qingyu was on the stage.
One high, one low, one up and one down.
The person on the stage was dressed exactly as he remembered!
Even the way they look angry is exactly the same!
For a moment, County Magistrate Gao thought he had returned to more than 20 years ago.
"Yumeng, are you back? There really is reincarnation in this world. Let me meet you again!" County Magistrate Gao could no longer suppress his excitement.
His eyes were fixed on Qingyu, as if he was afraid that a living person would suddenly disappear from his sight.
Concubine Gao had never seen her father like this before, so she quickly stepped back, fearing that she would be seen by County Magistrate Gao.
If her father saw her at this moment, both of them would be embarrassed.
"County Magistrate Gao, you are joking. How could I, with my humble status, know the county magistrate, the lord of a city? There is no way I can be an old acquaintance of the county magistrate. I am just an opera singer. It is not easy to make a living. I hope that the county magistrate can show mercy and let me go. I will be very grateful." After Qingyu finished speaking, she turned around and retreated behind the scenes.
I thought that this matter was over.
Concubine Gao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I am still comforting myself in my heart.
Her father was also a man, he just made some mistakes that all men like to make. Their mother had passed away for so many years, and her father had never remarried, and there hadn't been any new people brought into the family. He was considered a loyal man.
After being rejected in public today, he will definitely not do anything out of line again.
What she never expected was that there was a commotion in the audience, and her father, who was usually calm and composed, actually rushed straight to the backstage of the troupe without caring about anything!
"County Magistrate Gao, this... this is absolutely not allowed. Qingyu is a girl from a respectable family. If you do this, you will ruin her reputation!" The class owner hurriedly tried to stop him.
"I will be responsible for her!" County Magistrate Gao made the promise immediately.
“Governor Gao, please respect yourself!” Qingyu picked up a hairpin beside her and pointed the sharp end at her neck. “If you don’t let go, I’ll stab myself to death!”
County Magistrate Gao panicked and quickly let go of her hand, "Okay, I'll let go, I'll let go! Don't hurt yourself."
Even their tempers are so similar!
County Magistrate Gao looked at the person in front of him, his hands shaking with excitement.
"Please leave immediately!" Qingyu shouted coldly.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I'm leaving right now. Please relax. I have no ill intentions." County Magistrate Gao explained hurriedly, but in the end, he left reluctantly.
Concubine Gao watched her father's lonely back with her own eyes. She felt that her father, who was usually full of vigor and vitality, had aged a lot in an instant, and her heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife.
What happened to my father?
Why would you do such an outrageous thing!
Ji Chuhe slowly walked to Concubine Gao's side, "Concubine, it seems that County Magistrate Gao really knows this Miss Jingyu."
"No! Absolutely not!" Concubine Gao retorted loudly.
After saying this, he realized that his emotions were a little out of control. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
“Madam Crown Prince, this Jingyu was arranged by you, right?” Although Concubine Gao was asking the question, her tone confirmed that it was Ji Chuhe who did it.
"Does the concubine know the real use of the beauty trap?" Ji Chuhe threw out a sentence as a response.
