Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


In her previous life, Gu Yuan had also wanted to give these books to her, but she didn’t dare to accept them...


Gu Yanfei’s thoughts accidentally returned to her previous life until Wei Jiaoniang’s happy voice woke her up. “Yanfei, this... can’t be from your Big Brother too, right?”


Wei Jiaoniang held a playbook with the words “Ten Miles Pavilion” and shook it gently.


Indeed. Gu Yanfei nodded honestly.


One day, after she told her big brother that she had gone to the Tianyin Pavilion to listen to dramas, the next day, her big brother specially bought a few drama scripts for her.


‘Your Big Brother has good taste. This ‘Ten Miles Pavilion’ is very popular.” Wei Jiaoniang’s eyes were sparkling as she said excitedly, ‘The new scenes arranged by the Tianyin Pavilion have been full recently.”


‘Yanfei, let’s go watch a show. I haven’t watched a show in a long time.’


The more Wei Jiaoniang spoke, the brighter her eyes became.


With her personality, if she said it was wind, it would be rain. Before her b.u.t.t could warm up, she got up and pulled Gu Yanfei out of the door.


Because the weather was cold, the two of them went out in Wei Jiaoniang’s carriage.


The carriage was filled with laughter along the way.


‘Yanfei, two days ago, a new Jiangnan snack shop opened opposite the Tianyin


Pavilion. Let’s buy some later and eat while watching the show.”


‘Let’s go to the next street to watch the sideshow after the show. That sideshow team only appears every New Year. After the Lantern Festival, they’ll be leaving. The next time will be next year!”


‘By the way, Tianle Restaurant has released new wine and dishes. Let’s go there for lunch.’


Wei Jiaoniang was a lively person and talked about everything. She even told


Gu Yanfei where the best weapons and horse equipment shops were. She was like a “Beijing know-it-all”.


As they chatted, the carriage arrived at the Tianyin Pavilion in the south of the city.


‘Miss Wei, you haven’t been here for a while.” The waiter at the Tianyin Pavilion welcomed her warmly. ‘The private rooms in your residence have been reserved.”


Imperial Duke Wei liked to watch the show, so he simply reserved a private room in the Tianyin Pavilion.


“It’s better to be early than late. In half a cup of tea’s time, the show will begin.” The waiter smiled and extended his hand.


‘Quick, quick! The show is about to begin.” Wei Jiaoniang held Gu Yanfei’s hand and happily walked towards the private room on the second floor.


They ordered a table of tea and snacks and ordered the maidservant to buy a few boxes of snacks from the snack shop opposite, filling the table.


Gu Yanfei picked up the teapot beside her and poured tea for Wei Jiaoniang. Halfway through, a high-pitched and excited commotion came from downstairs.


The last time Gu Yanfei heard such a lively commotion here was because of a certain “flower”. For a moment, she thought that Xia Houqing had arrived and glanced at the stage.


The high stage was empty, and the curtain hung low. The show had yet to begin.


In the lobby on the first floor, the tea guests and audience gathered in twos and threes to discuss something excitedly. As they spoke, they danced and gestured like dancing immortals.


There were even many people gathered outside the Tianyin Pavilion. They were also shouting and dancing.


Wei Jiaoniang had always liked crowds. She instructed her maidservant, ‘Xi Que, go and see what’s going on.”


Xi Que quickly went downstairs.


Juan Bi was also very curious. She glanced at Gu Yanfei’s expression and followed happily.


After a while, the two maidservants ran back, panting. Their eyes were shining, and they were in high spirits.


‘Miss, there’s a phenomenon in the sky!” Xi Que said excitedly to Wei Jiaoniang. ‘IA few guests just arrived on the first floor. They said that they saw a phenomenon in the sly just now. Later, many people on the street said that they all saw it.”


‘Everyone downstairs and outside is talking about this now!”


A phenomenon in the sky? Wei Jiaoniang blinked and subconsciously looked at the window on the other side of the private room. She looked out at the blue sky that was cloudless and calm.


Xi Que took a deep breath. Juan Bi, who was beside her, immediately said, ‘IA true dragon has appeared in the sky above Prince Kang’s Manor. It’s a true dragon!”


Like the others below, she gestured with her hands and feet, trying to show the size of the dragon.


True dragon? Gu Yanfei took a sip of flower tea and casually twirled the teacup in her hand. The chrysanthemum floating in the tea fluttered, making her eyes sparkle.


Heh, this small world only had so little spiritual energy. The dragons wouldn’t


come!


‘Meow!” A meow came from outside the window, as if in response to Gu Yanfei’s thoughts.


Gu Yanfei turned to look out of the window, but there was nothing outside. It was as if the meow just now was just her imagination.


Wei Jiaoniang was excited to hear this. Her face was red, as if it had been dyed with rouge. She asked curiously, “When did this happen? Is the dragon still here?”


She looked as if she wanted to run to Prince Kang’s Manor to watch the commotion.


Xi Que could roughly tell what her lady was thinking, so she answered the main point first, “The true dragon has already left.’


Wei Jiaoniang sat back in disappointment and continued to eat her snacks and dried fruits. She took a bite of the pastry and stuffed a handful of creamed pine nuts into her mouth.


She gestured with her eyes for Xi Que to continue.


Xi Que and Juan Bi took turns to recount what they had just heard.


‘Just now, at most half a cup of tea’s time ago, it appeared directly above Prince Kang’s Manor. At that time, everyone on the street saw it.’


‘All of a sudden, the entire street was covered by dark clouds, but the sun was still shining everywhere else. Then, three consecutive thunderclaps sounded. A true dragon appeared between the dark clouds, and a dragon’s roar resounded through the clouds. The true dragon nodded three times in a row at Kang w.a.n.g’s Manor, as if it was kowtowing..”
