This banquet was indeed fresh. The first time I used this co-dine system. I ate together and chatted. The atmosphere was very warm. There was also a large round table that could be turned. The dishes were rich and delicious. Almost every dish was delicious. Therefore, not only Qin Shihuang, but also the young men at the banquet at the same table were all over. They leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed their belly without any image. The imperial concubines and princesses in the restaurant next to them were all full and drank, and their wine made their cheeks rosy.

"Your Majesty, you can play mahjong with several imperial concubines. I will go to the theater to arrange for the dance drama!" Chen Xu stood up and bowed and said after accompanying Qin Shihuang for a cup of tea after dinner.

"Marty Qinghe, please give me a gift!" Qin Shihuang smiled and went to play mahjong with a teacup.

Chen Xu exited the room, took a few deep breaths, and after being stimulated by the cold air, his mind became much clearer. Then he strode out of Ziqi Donglai Pavilion to prepare to go to Qinghe Theater.

"Harao Qinghe, wait for me!" A soft and clear voice came from behind.

Chen Xu didn't have to look back and knew it was Princess Huayu, so he had to stop and turn around and salute: "Greetings to the fifth princess!"

Although it was winter, Ying Shiman was wearing a thin, slim-fitting skirt. She also wore a snow-white mink jacket on the outside. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, her cheeks were bright, and she looked a little shy. When she saw Chen Xu saluting her again, she quickly turned to the blessed dress and said with a slightly pity, "Why has the Hou Qinghe always been so polite to Shiman?"

"The princess is joking. Xu is just a mountain villager. The princess is the princess, so I must be more polite!" Chen Xu said respectfully.

"You... can't you treat me like an ordinary friend? Shiman rarely comes out in the palace, and only Qinghehou is your friend. Shiman doesn't want you to be so polite to me! Just be more ordinary, and Shiman is even happy like a maid!" Ying Shiman looked at Chen Xu with big eyes and said softly.

"The princess really thinks that?"

"Of course, Shiman admires Qinghe Hou very much, and hopes that Qinghe Hou and Shiman will not be so estranged!" Ying Shiman nodded slightly.

"Okay!" Chen Xu said with a smile, "Is there something wrong with the princess coming to see me?"

"It's not that something is wrong. Shiman just wants to meet with Qinghe Hou and talk alone!" Ying Shiman was not too embarrassed. She looked at Chen Xu while speaking, with some expectations in her eyes.

Chen Xu's heartbeat was a little bit pounding by Ying Shiman's words, and he quickly avoided her eyes and said, "That's just right, I'm going to go to the theater to arrange a singing and dancing performance. Since the princess has nothing to do, please go with me?"

"Thank you, Mr. Qinghe!" Ying Shiman's expectant face instantly bloomed like flowers, and her emotions relaxed, and she followed Chen Xu lightly towards the theater.

"Qinghehou, I have already practiced the regular script of the last time. I have also changed many small seal scripts into regular scripts according to your index. After I showed them to several emperors, they all said that the font you improved is square, clear strokes, simple structure, much easier to recognize than seal script, and it is also convenient to write..."

"That's natural. Regular style is derived from the word "character model" and has a dignified meaning. The horizontal and vertical lines are straight, concise and clear, which is easier to write and identify than seal script. If the princess has time, help me write a font comparison table of regular style and small seal script. After writing, I will ask Your Majesty to promote it nationwide. If Your Majesty agrees, I will promote this book in the name of the princess. I don't know if the princess wants it or not!"

"Really, I'm willing, Shiman is naturally willing. I'm bored in the palace every day, and there's nothing to do except play with my brothers and sisters. When I go back today, I'll ask someone to collect all the seal characters and change them to regular characters to form comparisons. But it's difficult to print so many characters at that time..."

"It's okay, as long as your Majesty agrees, this matter is easy. At that time, I will invite the princess to work as a supervisor to ensure that the printing is exactly the same as the princess wrote. Once it is promoted, everyone will think of you as soon as they write, but they don't know if you will be renamed Princess Kaishu in the future..."

"Hehe, I hope..."

Ying Shiman and Chen Xu are only half a foot away, and their arms can be touched occasionally, and they look very close. The maids, helpers and the alert Xuanwu Guards all looked sideways.

Chen Xu could also smell a faint smell of a girl's body, and at the same time he was a little drunk. He became a little restless inside, so he could only keep talking and divert his attention. After seven or eight minutes, the two came to the theater.

This theater is five or six times larger than the theater in Wancheng. Not only is the venue wider, but the stage is also much larger than that in Wancheng.

There are hundreds of imperial guards all around the theater, and black armored bows and crossbows are strictly defending. Dozens of helpers are placing and adjusting tables and chairs, arranging snacks and tea cups. There are also some plum and bamboo bonsai between the stage and the front row, adding a new color to the cold winter.

Other buildings here are renovated and utilized, but the stage is newly built.

The stage was not only much larger, but also absorbed the advantages and disadvantages of the first generation of the stage of Wancheng Theater and carried out a comprehensive transformation. The stage was about two meters high and was made of wood and stone. It was empty inside, which could hide many staff members and even various fireworks props. There were also many mechanisms that could be opened on the surface of the stage, making many special effects more convenient to operate during performances, and the stage setting could be movable, which would make the viewing more fascinating.

The auditorium accommodates about 400 people, and there is still a pergola, but the pergola has not been completely repaired, and only a huge wooden frame has been built.

Chen Xu of this greenhouse decided to transform it into a movable ceiling device after the pulley is drawn, and the walls on all sides will be gradually repaired.

Directly behind the audience seats on the stage, there is a two-story wooden and stone building. Because the building has a bluestone staircase that is more than one meter high, you can clearly see the performance on the stage in the houses on the first and second floors. This is the private room of the theater. The windows are very wide, and there are soft seats and stoves inside. There are also special helpers and maids to serve you. You can drink tea, eat snacks and watch the show while not paying attention. Of course, it may be possible to do something else while you are not paying attention.

The prop room and dressing room behind the stage were crowded at this time, and dozens of male and female actors were putting on makeup. Hu Kuan, the tycoon who was in charge of Wancheng Theater, also had two masters who were proficient in music. This time, he specially hired professional tailors and craftsmen to make various costumes and props. Therefore, the newly opened Qinghe Theater is fully prepared, both singers and dancers and musicians are more than ten times stronger than Wancheng's.

All the actors in Wancheng bought them from the slave market. After training for a few months, Chen Xu was still dissatisfied with them. The most dissatisfied were the various costumes and props on the stage, which looked like a joke, and was so simple and vulgar.

But this time, Chen Xu wanted money and power. No matter what he needed, as long as he showed the sign of Qinghe Hou Mansion, everything would be done properly.

Therefore, when Chen Xu brought Ying Shiman to the backstage, although he seemed busy, everything was in order.

In order to make today's performance smooth and without any mistakes, Chen Xu also brought Hu Kuan back from the factory to help.

Bo Daocheng was directing a group of musicians to rehearse behind the curtain. There was a music stand in front of each person, which looked similar to the music stand in later generations. A tripod was on a wooden board, and there were clips on the wooden board, which were clipped on it. However, these music scores were neither stitches nor simplified scores, but symbols that made Chen Xu completely confused. Only Bo Daocheng and these musicians could understand it. Fortunately, Chen Xu did not know the stitches, otherwise they would definitely change it.

Shi Xuan was wearing fast and neat clothes, his hair was neatly combed, holding a thick patina in his hand, and was sitting in the corner and rehearsing.

"Have you seen the Marquis!" Seeing Chen Xu and a beautiful lady with a luxurious and beautiful face, everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

"No gifts, I'll introduce you to you. This is Princess Huayu!" Chen Xu waved his finger and pointed at Ying Shiman and said.

There were suddenly a burst of exclamations at the scene, and then, except for Kai Bo Daocheng and Shi Xuan, all the musicians knelt down and kowtowed.

"Princess, look, you are different from us!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

Ying Shiman greeted all the musicians to get up, and then said softly, "Shiman doesn't want to have this identity either. She doesn't know the Queen of Qinghe. I only left the palace three or five times a year. The palace is deserted and there are no friends outside the palace. And every time I go out, a large group of guards follow me. I don't know how ordinary people play, so I especially yearn for being friends with Queen of Qinghe. In the future, when I am lonely, I can go out to the palace to talk to you, especially I can eat all kinds of delicious snacks and food!"

Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ying Shiman is a very strange girl he has ever met.

He is well-educated and straightforward in character, never talks around the bush, and has a clear mind and almost no distracting thoughts. He is different from the women he meets in later generations.

In fact, it is not only her, but also her unruly and weird Jiang Chuyue, the strong and cold Wang Qingxiu, and her own wife Shui Qingrou, who seem to have this kind of personality, but the focus of the performance is different.

The women of the Qin Dynasty did not have many constraints on etiquette and law in later generations, nor did they have the norm of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Therefore, they were very straightforward. Whether they were unruly, cold, or gentle, they all had a natural true aura. Their words and deeds were very different from those of later generations. Even the servant maids in Chen Xu's house were also like this. There was a distinction between status and status, but there was no big difference in personality. It was wrong or right, and they could not even make them pretend.

This is really a natural era.

Ying Shiman always expressed her love and affection for Chen Xu, but Chen Xu could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. The two thousand years of civilization gap made Chen Xu feel instantly that he was a real hypocrite.

However, those hypocrites in the court such as Meng Yi and Li Si are actually not hypocritical enough compared to him.

Chen Xu tried every means to kill Zhao Gao, and he didn't want to get involved in him, so he came to Meng Yi. Whether Meng Yi stepped on Ao Ping to death or took over and was about to kill Zhao Gao, he would almost be a very fierce method, just to plot against him, rather than designing various traps like Chen Xu.
