If one to ask what was the most popular topic amongst the citizens, it definitely would not be how Da Qi won over the battles against their enemy, it wasn't about how peaceful times are now, but instead its about the reincarnation of a deity in the empress.
Ding Shun Teahouse is one of the top teahouse in the capital, recently it was packed to the brim, and the people who went there was not for the tea, but for Capital's No 1 Mouth, Liu Jun Xian.
Book reading has always been the same, perhaps sometimes there was a change in the background, the characters or location. Therefore whenever there is a new story and an interesting one at that, with an eloquent reader, then all you have to wait is to collect money.
Somehow this Liu Jun Xian, came out with a story, speaking about how the empress was a reincarnation of a deity, as well as accompanying the emperor to war. His story about the empress was spoke with vigor and attractively about the empress, with the addition of the battle stories, made the listeners blood heat up. His story was separated into 5 parts, each day he will read about one part, and continued with the second part only on the next day and so on. Everytime he finished one part, the next day there would be more people arriving to listen to his story. When the entire tea house was already filled with people, those with martial arts or were stronger actually was listening from beyond the walls, climbing on to trees or pillars. From far, the teahouse looked really funny, from all the hanging people.
When all 5 parts was told, Liu Jun Xian will restart the story again, however the amount of people listening to it, does not seem to reduce. That is most probably because there were so many people in the capital that did not manage to listen to all 5 parts. Furthermore, when a story is interesting, no matter how many times they have heard it, as long as the person reading it was good at it, the crowd will naturally follow along.
The teahouse owner business's was greatly improved, and Liu Jun Xian also made a fortune himself.
The other story tellers in the capital, listened to Liu Jun Xian's story and went back, changed the story a little bit and started their own story telling. As their skill cannot be compared with him, the amount of people they receive are way lesser in comparison. However, they still get some customers, as Ding Chun teahouse is always full. The stories they created turned the empress into different varieties, from being a hopeless romantic to a charismatic person.
Therefore the current trend of the capital was none other than the empress. No matter old, young, rich or poor, they all seem to have something to say about the empress. The love stories between the emperor and the empress, the empress fighting demons, etc etc..
In a short period, the theatre people started to turn the empress's stories into songs, which also turned into a hit. There are 4 famous theatre houses in the capital, and amongst them , Shuang Xi Theatre house is considered the best. In this theatre house, their best singer was actually a fatty, called Chang Xiao Yuan, that can be said as the number one singer in the capital. His song about the empress was also the most popular, and his sessions are always full. Even Liu Jun Xian went to visit his show. Every time Chang Xiao Yuan were to sing, the applause for him would be almost endless. However, looking at the roundish "Niang niang' on stage really puts one into thought, on whether this act was beautifying the empress or not.
Liu Jun Xian felt abit nervous, because this tasks was given to him by the emperor personally, it was not right to say he himself did a good job. Therefore he went to look for the communication method that Ji Jungkook left him to meet with the emperor. After listening to his report, Ji Jungkook was very happy, and awarded him with many things, and looked for Nu Zhen slave who was not being good to be sentenced to the jail for causing trouble, in order to reply to the talks in the capital.
