The news of the Eldest Princess’s death had not yet spread, yet storytellers among the people were already disseminating rumors everywhere.
In a elegantly decorated inn, a storyteller holding a fan began, "Speaking of that Eldest Princess, learned literature at age three, trained in martial arts at age four, whether in literature or martial arts, she was a natural genius. Once there was a master wandering the world, who bestowed upon the Eldest Princess a token, that token was like snow in the clouds, icy cold all over..."
Inside the inn, sat two won, wearing veiled hats concealing their faces, but their slender and tall figures stood out. One held a child, ordered so snacks, and listened intently to the storyteller.
From the Eldest Princess’s extraordinary encounters, to the ergence of the token, finally tied with the recent scandal of the Eldest Princess, it was so vivid, as if the storyteller had witnessed it himself.
Finally, the storyteller folded his fan, and said mysteriously in a low voice, "Last night, a high sage gazed at the stars and calculated, discovering that the lucky star in the southeast suddenly disappeared, while several ill-on stars fell in the northwest, afraid it’s a bad on!"
This caused a stir among the crowd, soone asked, "How could it be, wasn’t it said that the Eldest Princess could support our Mo Yan Dynasty!"
"Exactly, just now the Eldest Princess was described so divinely, now saying it’s a bad on, which should we believe?"
The storyteller smiled mysteriously, "Words can be spoken this way, there’s reason for it, but ah, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Last night, I t that high sage, who wouldn’t divulge more, just half-drunkenly and half-madly shook his head to saying: ’The hand of destiny cuts lucky stars, all is fate...’"
The people below scratched their heads in confusion.
The storyteller seeing it was tily, packed his stall and left directly.
Soon, the surrounding people dispersed as well.
The storyteller earned more tips today than ever before, joyfully walked towards Mo Shu, sat down delighted, saying, "The girl is indeed remarkable, any more tales like this one?"
Mo Shu lazily sat in the chair, fiddled with a peanut in her hand, casually tossed it into her mouth, half-smiling said, "That’s no tale, the Imperial Family in turmoil, the Eldest Princess is dead, the sky of the Mo Yan Dynasty is about to change."
The storyteller’s face turned serious, asking, "How do you know, girl?"
Mo Shu pretended to be mysterious, whispered, "Heavenly secrets cannot be divulged."
The storyteller didn’t press further, instead laid out the tips, saying, "We agreed three-seven split, I haven’t touched a single penny, but girl, if you have other stories, I can buy them directly from you, how about it?"
Mo Shu chuckled lightly, looked at him, "Buy out? It’s not impossible."
The storyteller was sowhat excited, these past few days this girl had gone to teahouses giving stories to storytellers, every tale she gave earned applause.
If fresh stories could be exclusively bought by him, his business would surely surpass his peers!
Mo Shu tilted her head, thought for a mont, said, "One story, two taels of silver."
In this world, five taels of silver could buy a two-entry courtyard, this price was too high!
The storyteller’s joyful expression collapsed, "Girl, are you joking?"
"Or, you provide us a place to stay, I can continuously give you fresh stories, how about it?"
