The emperor and empress laughed when Princess Bao and Princess Bao praised her like this.
Especially the queen, the corner of her mouth curled up proudly, and she secretly glanced at Concubine Xue.
When Concubine Xue heard this, her face turned pale.
The Queen ordered this play to imply that the Queen and the Emperor are the real couple, and she is just a concubine who cannot live up to the expectations!
When Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu and others heard these words, their expressions changed slightly.
They are also the emperor's women. Princess Bao said so and did not take them seriously at all.
But they also know that after all, Princess Baoqin and Princess Fengqin are the Queen's people, so it is normal for them to fawn over the Queen.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan smiled and said: "Okay, since everyone likes to watch "The Story of Lian Li". Queen, please let the Jixiang Troupe perform this play!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the queen said this, she ordered the eunuch to go do the work!
Soon, the characters from the opera troupe came on stage. After the young actor and the female actor started singing, everyone clapped their hands quickly, and then more old actors, Tsing Yi and clowns came on the stage.
Yun Ruoyue couldn't tell the difference between these roles, so she kept asking Chu Xuanchen, and Chu Xuanchen would tell her carefully which one was Hua Dan and which one was Qing Yi.
At this time, there was a clown on the stage who started doing somersaults as soon as he appeared on the stage.
His somersaults are particularly good, he leaps into the air from time to time, flies over walls and walls from time to time, and his martial arts skills are very strong at first glance.
"Okay!" As soon as he turned somersault, everyone shouted excitedly.
Seeing how powerful this clown was, Yun Ruoyue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what kind of character is this somersault?"
Chu Xuanchen leaned towards her and said gently: "This is called Wu Chou, a clown who knows martial arts."
Yun Ruoyue said: "You see, his martial arts skills are so strong. He can fly over walls and fly over walls, soar into the clouds and ride on fog. Such a powerful person actually comes here to perform. If he is in the world, he must be a famous martial arts master!"
Chu Xuanchen said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, maybe he likes this kind of life very much!"
-
After the play was over, the troupe temporarily retired to rest, and everyone began to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy singing and dancing.
There was music all around and the dancers on the stage were dancing gracefully.
Everyone mingled with each other, toasted and drank. On the surface, everyone seemed to be in harmony, but privately, there was an undercurrent of intrigue and intrigue.
At this time, Princess Rui walked in from outside wearing a cloak.
She was holding a red plum in her hand. She patted the snowflakes on her body and smiled at Emperor Hongyuan: "Father, it's snowing outside! This year's plum blossoms are blooming particularly beautifully. The snowflakes floating on top of the plum blossoms are so beautiful. You
Do you want to enjoy the scenery of snow reflecting red plum blossoms?"
"Snow reflects red plums?" Emperor Hongyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I like both white snow and red plums. Tonight there are both white snow and red plums, the scenery must be beautiful. Come on, you guys come with me to enjoy it."
"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone said.
After Emperor Hongyuan finished speaking, he took Concubine Xue in front, followed by the Queen, Concubine Rui and others.
"Yue'er, let's go and have a look." Chu Xuanchen said, putting Yun Ruoyue's cloak on her, holding her hand with a smile and walking out!
When the two of them arrived at the Plum Garden, everyone was already surrounding the Empress, admiring the plum blossoms and flattering the Empress with flattering words.
Seeing the bright red plum blossoms all over the garden, Concubine Xue couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I like these plum blossoms so much. Can I pick a few from the vase and put them in the palace. When the Emperor goes to my concubine, they can be there at any time.
I can smell the fragrance of red plums!”
The queen said coldly: "Hey! Concubine Xue, you can just ask the palace maids to do these things, why do you need to do it yourself?"
