Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1522 Jealous!

After buying jewelry, An Miaoyi started to visit some cloth shops selling silk. Ye Mingsheng and Jingren, father and son, were obviously not interested in these things, but An Miaoyi was very interested. What surprised Ye Mingsheng was that An Miaoyi, who always had high standards, waved her hand and wanted to buy some ordinary silk.

Ye Mingsheng didn't know what An Miaoyi's intention was. In his eyes, An Miaoyi's principle had always been to have nothing rather than something of poor quality. Although these silks were not bad and could be worn by ordinary people, their quality was far below the standards required by An Miaoyi!
Seeing that An Miaoyi really wanted to buy it, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but ask:

"Miaoyi, do you want to wear these silks?"

An Miaoyi said decisively:

"I won't wear it!"

Hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng said even more puzzled:

"Miaoyi, if you don't wear it, why buy it?"

Because the cloth shop was full of people, An Miaoyi was making noises. She teased in a voice that only the couple could hear:
"Your Majesty, you are the richest and most powerful emperor of the world. Why would you care about these silks? Could it be that you feel bad if I spend some money on you?"

"Just now you said you would pay for everything I bought today, but it turns out you were just lying to me!"

After saying this, the Queen of Daqian also became self-pitying, and Ye Mingsheng also explained:

"I'm not sorry for the money, I just think since you don't wear it, why should we buy it?"

“Just because I don’t wear it doesn’t mean others won’t wear it! There are dozens of sisters in the palace, so buying these few things is not too much at all…”

Ye Mingsheng suddenly realized something when he heard this:
"Miaoyi, did you buy this for them?"

Upon hearing this, An Miaoyi couldn't help but ask back:

"Your Majesty, you don't really think that I would be interested in these things, do you?"

"How many sisters in the palace want to leave but can't. I will naturally bring some gifts back to them once I come out!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this:
"Miaoyi, you are really thoughtful!"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's praises, An Miaoyi smiled and then continued shopping. She would not tell Ye Mingsheng that the reason she was picking gifts here was because she was unwilling to give the top-quality silks in the imperial palace treasury to other concubines. In An Miaoyi's view, those were all hers, and other people were only worthy of wearing these ordinary silks!

After buying silk at the cloth shop, An Miaoyi started buying some other things. After half an hour, she ended her shopping at Houde Street with a sense of reluctance. It was already three quarters past three in the afternoon, and the sun was setting in Yijing. Ye Mingsheng was originally planning to return to the palace with his family and the two large carts of jewelry, silk and other things.

However, at this time, An Miaoyi noticed that there was a Qingfeng Theater on the side of the road. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she immediately asked:

"Your Majesty, I heard that you and Sister Zhixiu watched Qinqiang at Luoan Theater before?" Seeing An Miaoyi suddenly mention this matter, Ye Mingsheng also had a bad premonition, and immediately met An Miaoyi's gaze and said vaguely:
"It was almost ten years ago when I was in Luoan. I have long forgotten about it..."

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, An Miaoyi looked at Ye Mingsheng deeply, then glanced at the sky and said:
"Your Majesty, it's still early, how about we go watch a play?"

After An Miaoyi said this, Ye Mingsheng hadn't opened his mouth to answer, but Jing Ren on the side said curiously:

"Drama? What kind of drama is there?"

Seeing that his wife and children were so interested, Ye Mingsheng arranged for a few guards to take the purchased things back to the palace first, and then he took his wife and children into the Qingfeng Theater.

After buying the tickets, Ye Mingsheng took everyone to a private room on the second floor of the theater and sat down. At that time, Farewell My Concubine was being performed on the stage of the theater.

"Since I followed the king in his campaigns, I have endured hardships and hardships year after year. I hate the ruthless Qin that has destroyed lives and brought misery to the people."

"Several generals in the Han camp have been shot with spears. Even if they are brave, how can they defend against the enemy from all sides? Tell the generals not to send out the troops and return to their camps!"

Because the female role of Yu Ji on the stage was young and beautiful, with a charming appearance, and her singing voice was also very pleasant, there was a burst of applause from the audience, especially from the male patrons, all of whom focused their eyes on Yu Ji, and some of them were very explicit, as if they wanted to eat Yu Ji alive. But Ye Mingsheng had no intention of appreciating this classic piece of Farewell My Concubine at this time.

Maybe it was because An Miaoyi mentioned what happened in Luoan just now, so although Ye Mingsheng’s eyes were on the stage, his heart was thinking about the time when he took Pei Zhixiu to watch Qinqiang in Luoan...

Although Ye Mingsheng didn't know how An Miaoyi knew about this matter, if An Miaoyi hadn't mentioned it, Ye Mingsheng would have forgotten about it!

Although Ye Mingsheng came to Luo'an from Liaoyang to join the Imperial Guard when he was young, and has been in the Imperial Guard for ten years, he spent most of his time following the Imperial Guard to fight in various places in Daqian and did not stay in Luo'an for a long time. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng did not understand some of the dialects in Guanzhong very well, and could be regarded as having only a vague understanding of them.
However, when Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu were dating in Yijing that year, Ye Mingsheng did not have any creative ideas and could only follow the routine of eating and watching a movie. However, since there were no movies, they could only watch a play, and Guanzhong Qinqiang was quite famous, so Ye Mingsheng chose to take Pei Zhixiu to watch Qinqiang.

At that time, Ye Mingsheng knew that Qinqiang was the dialect of the Yongliang area in Guanzhong. However, because Ye Ming had lived in Luoan intermittently for several years, Ye Mingsheng made a misjudgment. He felt that he had a good understanding of the Guanzhong dialect and felt that he could show off in front of Pei Zhixiu.

But facts proved that Ye Mingsheng's idea was wrong. He overestimated his understanding of the Guanzhong Yongliang dialect. A Qinqiang performance lasted for nearly half an hour. Ye Mingsheng was completely confused and could not understand what was being said at all. He just remembered that the play was called Tongguan.

Bae Ji-soo might have felt a little embarrassed at the time, so she said she was hungry, and the two of them left without waiting for the show to end.

At that time, Ye Mingsheng just felt it was too embarrassing, but now when he thinks back on it, Ye Mingsheng also thinks it is very interesting. As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face.

At this time, An Miaoyi, who was standing aside, had no idea what she was thinking. She just saw Ye Mingsheng looking at the stage with a smile on his face.

Thinking of this, An Miaoyi glanced at Yu Ji on the stage with some suspicion, and then glanced at Ye Mingsheng out of the corner of her eye...
