There have been martial arts operas among the people, but they are considered difficult to enter the elegant hall by literati. Therefore, for a long time, those who perform martial arts operas have always been craftsmen. The birthday banquets of local rich people in the countryside are the biggest occasions that martial arts opera troupes can go to.

People in the capital have never even heard of martial arts before. It was not until Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne that martial arts were found in the capital.

It is said that Emperor Chengwu likes to watch martial arts operas, and used to watch martial arts operas when he was in his fiefdom.

What the emperor likes must be the best, and martial arts drama became famous for this.

At this time, Liuli came in, carrying a basket in her hand. The basket contained not fruits, but colorful money bags.

Yan Xuehuai was curious and was about to take it over and take a look. The stage downstairs had already started. A beautiful couple was fighting each other. As they were fighting, the woman jumped up. The man bent down and shortened. The woman stood firmly on his head. The man stood up straight, stretched out one leg out of his bent knees, and the golden rooster was independent. The woman walked from his head to his shoulders, and then jumped from his shoulder to his knees. The man didn't move at all.

The cheers came one after another, and wherever Yan Xuehuai's eyes went, a purse was thrown out of another private room and landed on the stage.

There was a gong sound on the stage, and a loud voice shouted loudly: "Dear guests from Dong Erfang, thank you!"

The woman jumped over the man's head again, and then flew up like a butterfly. The flower clothes on her body fell, revealing a pink dress. But the man grabbed the red silk on the woman's waist the moment the woman jumped up. The red silk was extremely long. As the man swung, the red silk took off from the woman's body, dancing like a red snake, which was very beautiful. On the top of the stage, a red silk was hanging down. The woman grabbed the red silk and danced in the air.

This time, Yan Xuehuai also felt good and cheered loudly. Suddenly, something was stuffed into her hand. She looked down and saw that it was a wallet. Chai Yan smiled and said, "It's interesting to watch martial arts operas."

Yan Xuehuai took the money bag and threw it towards the stage. The loud voice sounded again: "Dear guest in Zhongzhengma, thank you for your reward!"

Yan Xuehuai asked Chai Yan curiously: "I heard that Long Sui likes to see this?"

Chai Yan laughed: "The person who likes to watch this is actually my mother. For some reason, she just said it was my father."

"The Empress likes this?" Yan Xuehuai was unbelievable. Isn't the Empress a talented woman?

Chai Yan nodded: "I told you that there was an older brother and an older sister in front of me. They died just after they landed. My mother was hit and was depressed. Later, she got better when she was pregnant with me. When she was pregnant with me, my father was worried about her, so he tried every means to make her happy. He tried many ways until he took her to watch martial arts opera. My mother was addicted to watching, so my father called the martial arts opera troupe to the mansion to perform. Those who performed martial arts opera were all from the countryside. The first time they came to the royal palace, they might have been too detained and made frequent mistakes. When the second time, the opera troupe was worried that they would make mistakes again, so they removed many interesting places, just steadily singing and dancing.

So later, as soon as my father had time, he asked my mother to change into men's clothes and take her to the countryside to watch martial arts operas.

Now there are martial arts operas in the capital, but my mother never lets the martial arts opera troupe enter the palace. She said that the martial arts operas she watched in the palace were definitely boring.

My mother kept watching martial arts operas until her belly was too big and she couldn't wear men's clothes. She didn't go there. Not long after, I was born, healthy and strong. My mother said that I stretched my arms and kicked my legs as soon as I was born. It was probably learned when I was watching martial arts operas in my mother's belly."

Speaking of this, Yan Xuehuai couldn't help laughing, and then suddenly remembered Chai Yan that the queen had worn men's clothes and went to see martial arts show with the emperor, and asked, "The emperor really asked the queen to dress up as a man to watch martial arts show?"

"Of course, not only my father and mother, but my elder brother also took my elder sister to watch martial arts shows. But my elder sister-in-law was timid. When she saw her face mask and she was so scared that she had nightmares at night, so my elder brother did not take her to see it again."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a cheer from downstairs. Chai Yan looked out and saw that the man and woman were no longer there. There was no light in the audience at some point. He hurriedly said, "Look, I'm going to play with the flying knife."

Yan Xuehuai also looked at the stage and saw a small lamp suddenly lit up on the stage. The lamp was like a bean, like a ghost fire, moving towards the side of the stage little by little.

There was silence around, everyone held their breath, and their eyes looked over with the ghost fire.

On the side of the stage, a few more lights were on. Looking closely, these lights formed a person's outline. It was a woman. The light shone her face pale, but instead blurred her original appearance. Only white face and red lips could be seen.

Chai Yan exclaimed and said, "It's been a replacement."

"Aren't this person before?" Yan Xuehuai asked casually without caring.

"The woman last time was very tall, about the same height as the man who threw a flying knife. She should have been specially selected to add a correct head. Look at the woman this time, she is very short. I guess the man who comes up later should also be short."

In fact, the woman was not very short, just an ordinary woman was shorter than Yan Xuehuai. Chai Yan said this, which was compared with the previous women.

As soon as Chai Yan finished speaking, a short man wearing a ghost mask appeared in the light.

He pointed at the woman and shouted loudly: "You fairy, you turned into a beauty, sucked my essence and blood and killed me."

As soon as he said this, the audience and the stage were filled with laughter. Someone shouted in a sharp voice: "Tell me carefully, how did she suck your essence and blood?"

Yan Xuehuai also smiled, but Chai Yan secretly glanced at Yan Xuehuai. Yan Xuehuai didn't realize anything, but he felt a little embarrassed.

Next time I will tell the opera troupe in advance, so don’t say such dirty words. His coriander is still a simple little girl.

On the stage, the short evil ghost had already shown its flying knife, the woman was politely begging for mercy, the orioles sang a happy scene with the evil ghost in the past, Chai Yan blushed and his heartbeat, but Yan Xuehuai looked disappointed, as if saying, "That's it?"

The woman finally finished singing, and the short ghost swung his sword at the woman. Every time he threw it, the woman would make a blushing cry. The flying knife did not stab the woman, but threw out the lamps around the woman until the last one. The ghost rushed towards the woman, and all the lights on the stage disappeared without a trace and were pitch black.

When the lights light up again, the scene on the stage had changed. The short ghost was still wearing a mask and walked to the stage with the woman pretending to be a fairy. One by one, the money bags were thrown out of the private room on the second floor and landed on the stage. The loud voice kept saying thanks for the praise.

The evil ghost and the woman retreated, and two more martial artists turned around and went to the stage.

Chai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to talk to Yan Xuehuai, but he saw Yan Xuehuai's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking about something.

"Sister Huai, what's wrong?" Chai Yan asked hurriedly.

"I seem to have seen that woman just now." Yan Xuehuai said.

"Where have she seen her? Have she been to Li Shiji for dinner?" Chai Yan asked with a smile.
