Chapter 91 - 91 Regret
91 Regret
Granny Li was considering her words when Gu Yanfei said, “Go back and tell Madam to ask Gu Yunrong if she drank the talisman water.”
“…” Granny Li was stunned again, not understanding what he meant.
Behind the screen, Gu Yanfei slowly fastened her belt and smiled faintly.
Based on her understanding of Gu Yunrong, she definitely would not drink this talisman water.
Granny Li carefully said, “Second Lady, do you have anything else you want me to tell Madam?”
Gu Yanfei raised her hand and tied her long black hair behind her head. She chuckled casually and said, “Tell Madam to rest assured that this marriage will happen.”
“Juan Bi, see the guest out.”
When Juan Bi heard the last four words, she immediately took a step closer to Granny Li and extended her hand in invitation.
“Then I’ll go back and report.” Granny Li smiled and bowed before leaving with Juan Bi.
In the next moment, Gu Yanfei walked out from behind the screen with a casual smile.
She had changed into a straight black robe with dark patterns and a few orchid leaves embroidered on it with silver thread. The waist ring was embroidered with a brocade belt that hugged her waist very tightly.
The simple male outfit looked especially good on her. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, giving her a valiant and heroic look, and making one’s eyes light up.
When Juan Bi returned after sending Granny Li off, her mouth fell open in shock the moment she saw Gu Yanfei.
“What a beautiful young man!” Juan Bi clapped her hands with shining eyes and walked around her, looking her up and down.
Gu Yanfei was amused by Juan Bi. She casually smoothed the silk ribbon that tied her hair and let it fall to her chest.
The kitten, squatting on the window sill, snorted disdainfully and looked at the white pigeons that had long flown away in the sky with burning eyes.
Gu Yanfei casually pinched a pigeon letter on the table and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket before leaving. She only said, “You two, guard the house.”
“You two” referred to Juan Bi and Qing Guang.
“Meow!”
Leaving the kitten’s unhappy complaints behind, Gu Yanfei left the Marquis Mansion in high spirits. She went to a place she had never been to in her previous life, the Tianyin Pavilion in the south of the city.
The Tianyin Pavilion was a theater and was one of the most famous theaters in the capital.
Every day, as long as the show opened, there would be no empty seats.
Gu Yanfei arrived early. Under the call of a waiter from the Tianyin Pavilion, she sat down at a private table on the second floor.
70 to 80% of the seats upstairs and downstairs were already filled with all kinds of people. All of them had shining eyes and were in high spirits.
There was a lively atmosphere in the opera house.
The guests chatted as they sipped tea and drank in twos and threes.
“Brother, have you heard?” A young man in a straight green robe nudged the middle-aged man at his desk with his elbow and winked. “What’s the name of today’s show… Anyway, there’s a new flower girl. I heard she’s a peerless beauty!”
“I know, I know! Tianyin Pavilion invited Yao Jiaban from the south from thousands of miles away. She has just arrived in the capital these few days and her performance is amazing. Hehe, to be honest, I’m here for this flower girl,” a middle-aged man said excitedly.
“Tianyin Pavilion has really invested a lot.”
“Of course! We have to spend money. Didn’t you see? Yunli Garden has been getting more and more popular recently. It’s catching up to Tianyin Pavilion…”
“…”
The voices downstairs entered Gu Yanfei’s ears intermittently, piquing her interest.
She had never seen a show in 200 years in the Bright Spirit Realm.
She casually picked up the playbook and flipped through it quickly. Only then did she know that the play to be sung here today was called “Lotus Fan.” This play was divided into four parts. It was about a prince of the Marquis Mansion pretending to be a swordsman and wandering the martial world. He couldn’t believe between the princess of the prince’s manor and a singer of the martial world, acting out an exceedingly sentimental love story.
Gu Yanfei glanced around quickly.
More and more guests entered the theater, and when the seats were 90% full, a loud gong sounded from the direction of the stage.
Then, a leisurely bamboo sound echoed through the entire opera house. It was melodious and pleasant, representing the opening of the show.
However, the stage was still empty.
Just as everyone was feeling suspicious, a voice as sweet as a clear spring suddenly sounded, leisurely cutting through the air.
The air in the building seemed to tremble slightly with this voice. The surrounding atmosphere was completely different, as if they had suddenly come from the noisy and bustling market to a quiet high gate inner courtyard.
Her beautiful singing voice was beautiful and delicate. Her voice was pure, smooth, and mellow. It also contained extremely rich and reserved emotions, making one’s imagination run wild with the owner of the voice.
As everyone waited expectantly, a graceful figure floated out from behind the screen and appeared. Her dress, red with a hundred butterflies, glittered in the candlelight on the stage.
She gently and elegantly flicked her long sleeves. At the same time, she tilted her head slightly, revealing half of her beautiful face.
Her eyebrows were dyed black, her lips were red, and her face was as fair as porcelain. Her seductive phoenix eyes slanted to her temples, outlining an indescribable charm.
Her facial features were perfect, forming a peerless beauty.
She was like a cactus blooming layer by layer under the moon. She was beautiful, irresistible, and indescribably noble.
All the audience looked at this flower girl who was playing the princess, shocked and with their breaths taken away.
Looking at the beautiful woman on the stage, Gu Yanfei was slightly stunned. The wine glass in her hand paused in midair as she muttered to herself,
“So red…”
Gu Yanfei leaned forward slightly and rested her right elbow on the window sill. She supported her chin with her slightly curved fingers and carefully sized up the person on the stage.
Her entire body was scarlet. Or rather, the providence on this person was actually a thick scarlet color, as beautiful as blood. It was as if she was born from blood, or as if she was in a burning flame.
Unlike others, who were surrounded by a faint white light…
