After returning to the academy, Wen Momo kindly shared the snacks Jing Ling bought for her for the first time in order to express her apology to Ji Xiao Xiao and Sheng Ling to eat together. Ji Xiao Xiao praised her for being sensible, and Wen Momo listened a lot. Happy.
She asked Ji Xiaoshi and Sheng Ling what the goal of this assessment was. The two were still thinking about it, but Wen Momo couldn't help but volunteered to answer: "I'm going to be admitted to the ninth class!"
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "I must pass the exam, otherwise I will be teased by Master Xu again when I go back!"
After hearing this, Sheng Ling rubbed his nose and said, "Then, I will try my best to keep up with you and stay in the same class."
Sheng Ling felt that they all worked so hard, and she had to work hard too. However, every time she left the academy after class, without the company of Wen Momo and Ji Xiao, she felt empty for a moment in her heart. It's been a long time but I still can't get used to the loneliness, and it's seeping and spreading all over my body bit by bit.
She was sitting on the carriage, leaning out the window and watching the bustling people coming and going on the street. It was already dusk, and a faint golden light fell from the sky, reflecting on her black hair, dyeing it golden. The tips of her hair were flying in the wind, and the slightly curled ends confused her vision.
Sheng Ling slowly rolled his eyes and said with a dull expression: "I won't go back yet."
The subordinate who was about to go back to the princess's house was stunned for a moment and asked: "Where is the princess going?"
Sheng Ling's tone was also flat, with no emotion at all: "The theater on South Street."
As soon as Sheng Ling finished speaking, he sat up straight again and said, "Stop."
The carriage stopped halfway along the road. Sheng Ling got out of the carriage and said to her subordinates, "You guys go back first. I'll go for a walk and then go back."
"But princess..."
"Don't follow me." Before his subordinate finished speaking, Sheng Ling interrupted him and ordered, got out of the car and walked towards the crowd.
The street was quite lively at the moment, but Sheng Ling didn't seem to be able to get into the lively atmosphere at all.
She went to the theater on South Street alone, bought a cup of milk tea as a habit, found a front-row seat, and sat down to wait for the show.
None of them liked going to the theater when Ji was a kid, saying it was too boring. Shengling didn't dare to say anything. She didn't dare to say that she used to really enjoy going to the theater because when she saw the person she liked singing on the stage, She will feel very happy.
The show is about to begin.
There were not many spectators under the stage. Under the lighting of the stage fire, the stage opened.
What she sang was... a scene that she was familiar with.
She once couldn't understand the play. After talking to that person, he explained it to her personally. His voice was so nice that when he told her the story, Sheng Ling's eyes were all about him and she couldn't move away.
Sheng Ling felt sour in her heart for a moment.
In fact, she herself didn't understand. She would think of the memory of stabbing her whenever she saw this, so why would she want to go to a place like this to find excitement for herself...
In the play, there were people crying and singing about grief. When the curtain came down, the light and shadow on the stage suddenly went out, and a dim lamp was slowly lit up.
Under the dim light and shadow, a thin young man wore a light yellow costume, with long sleeves gathered at the wrists, revealing slender white hands. The young man lowered his makeup-painted eyebrows slightly, and lowered his head to play the piano expressionlessly. .
The sound is hollow and sad, like the empty music coming from the mountains and rivers. It is monotonous but hits the heart directly.
The milk tea that Sheng Ling was holding suddenly fell down.
She stared at the side profile of the young man in yellow shirt taking the curtain call on the stage, and her eyes almost made holes.
She didn't even know when she stood up. She only knew that after the curtain call, the young man hugged Qin and bowed to the audience, then turned and walked off the stage.
Sheng Ling almost rushed to the backstage.
She rarely lost her composure like this, but at that moment, she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. It was too painful.
The pain makes me more awake.
"Girl, girl! This is the backstage of the theater, you can't go in!" The guard stopped her outside the backstage courtyard.
Sheng Ling heard herself almost shouting, "I'm looking for someone! There's someone I'm looking for inside!"
Seeing her fierce attitude, the guards did not let her in easily. They just stopped her and asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
"Li Yu! Tell Li Yu to come out and see me!" Sheng Ling's eyes were red, and she was angrier than ever before.
Probably no one who knew Sheng Ling would have imagined that such a well-behaved and sensible little princess would have such an angry moment.
However, the guard frowned and answered her: "Girl, there is no one named Li Yu in our troupe!"
Sheng Ling's eyes were wide open and he was panting: "Nonsense! I just saw him!"
In order not to talk nonsense to this person, Sheng Ling took out her princess token for the first time and demonstrated to him: "Get out of here!"
When the guard saw the token in her hand, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he knelt down in fear, "Your Highness Princess!"
Sheng Ling had no time to take care of him, and almost rushed into the backstage yard. Holding her token in her hand, she pushed the door open and shouted almost tremblingly: "Li Yu! Get out of here!" !”
Everyone in the backstage was busy putting on makeup and going on stage. When they saw the token in Sheng Ling's hand, they were shocked. Although they didn't understand what happened for the time being, they also knew that the person who came in front of them was someone who could not be messed with. The rising big shot suddenly fell to their knees, "See Your Highness the Princess..."
"Where's Li Yu!"
The leader of the troupe was puzzled when he saw Princess Shengling coming in angrily and kneeling on the ground. When he heard the name Princess Shengling shouted, he was even more puzzled: "Your Highness, we don't have what you are looking for here." people."
Sheng Ling had a cold face, ignored the troupe leader's words, walked in, opened the curtains one by one, and finally saw the man who was about to change clothes behind the screen on the far right...
Sheng Ling grabbed his hand and looked up at him, her hands shaking more and more.
The young man in front of her was even thinner than before, and his brows were very dull. He didn't have the tenderness, affection, and charm that he used to look at her at all.
After being caught by her, the young man frowned slightly and looked at her blankly, as if he didn't understand why she wanted to catch him.
The troupe leader came over and said, "Your Royal Highness, this... this person's name is Ayan, not Li Yu."
Sheng Ling still stared at him without saying a word.
Ayan was hurt by her scratching, and she frowned and reached out to push her hand away, but Shengling asked coldly: "Tell it yourself, what is your name?"
Ayan said: "Ah."
With a very angry expression, he lowered his head and bit her hand. When Sheng Ling was bitten, he felt pain and was forced to let go of her hand.
When the troupe leader saw this, he was so frightened that he picked up the long prop stick on the side and hit A Yan hard on the back. He said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to bite Her Highness the Princess, why don't you kneel down!"
A Yan was beaten by the troupe leader, and she fell to her knees at Sheng Ling's feet in pain.
The troupe leader smiled apologetically at Sheng Ling and said, "Your Highness, I'm really sorry. Ayan is mute and can't speak, and he also has some brain problems. If he offends Your Highness in any way, the Princess can kill him." If you want to vent your anger, please don’t offend our Haitang Theater."
