The eldest prince originally created a play tailor-made for Liu Zijie. The play was based on the war commanded by the emperor himself. However, Liu Zijie died unexpectedly last night, just as the people in the eldest prince's camp were looking sad.
The eldest prince saw his daughter babbling and learning to sing in the theater.
There is no perfect way!
The daughter always pleased the emperor. She was born during the Mid-Autumn Festival, her nickname was Yue'er, and she was a girl with pink makeup and jade.
It's just that she doesn't like to play like ordinary little girls. She has been interested in drama since she was ignorant of worldly affairs.
Yue'er slowly walked onto the stage, and the emperor's eyes lit up. In the past, professional actors were used as background to set off the young men and women represented in the pictures.
But what came today was an ignorant girl. Yue'er was good at singing and reciting, and every move was so beautiful. She sang traditional verses praising virtues, with nothing new.
In the eyes of insiders, although he is not perfect, he can still be regarded as the best among his peers. Especially as a royal child, this is even more rare.
Xiao Wenjun, who was watching on the sidelines, felt a little nostalgic for her childhood. When she was a child, she was as carefree as Yue'er, spending time in the theater every day.
It is said that drama on stage is like life, and life off stage is like drama. Xiao Wenjun has been exposed to it all day long, and he has experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature since he was a child.
It wasn't until Xiao Wenjun in his previous life met Yu Wenyao, the man who had played with her, that he fell into the trap he had set in advance. For half of his life, he only ended up with his family broken up and everyone dead.
Xiao Wenjun looked at Wang Jiuyuan next to him, with a smile on his face, and felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. At this time, the two of them were in the waiting area, with costumes painted on their faces. Of course, ordinary people would not know their true identities.
Xiao Wenjun also rehearsed a play in the name of the Xiao family of Lanling. Logically speaking, they were not qualified to rehearse the play, but they had a close relationship with the queen these days, and the Wang family took care of it, so they also arranged it.
However, according to the Queen and Wangge Lao, even if they are put in the queue, the chance of actual performance is not very big.
Seeing this, during this period, although Wang Jiuyuan was busy with official duties, he would always take some time to play opposite Xiao Wenjun every day. Rehearsing the play was hard, and he had to learn it all over again when he actually performed. Wang Jiuyuan even more admired this little girl's determination to pursue her goals.
The perseverance to never give up.
"good!"
They heard the man in the audience shouting "good", which brought the two of them back from their thoughts. That voice came from the eldest prince.
All civil and military officials from the eldest prince's camp also stood up and cheered, and even the emperor rarely smiled.
"You have such courage at such a young age, and you are quite a bit like the empress back then!" the emperor said.
With the emperor standing on the platform, everyone also followed the emperor's wishes and praised them repeatedly. To be honest, although the play was hastily arranged, it was more sincere and sincere. There were not so many twists and turns in the children's family.
"Grandpa Emperor!" After the performance, Yue'er actually jumped off the stage and threw herself at His Majesty the Emperor who was taking the main seat.
The emperor picked her up with both hands, with a look of affection on his face. He didn't know that Yue'er had such skill in singing.
Even the queen came over. She took out a jade pendant from her arms. She thought it must be very valuable because of its quality. She was obviously prepared for it.
She hung the jade pendant around Yue'er's neck and said with a smile: "This is the jade pendant that the imperial grandmother wore when she was a child. Today you made His Majesty so happy, so I will give it to you!"
"Then what does the Emperor want to reward Yue'er?" Yue'er's big, watery eyes are twinkling, which is really cute.
"Let's see, Yue'er has made a good start today. I will make the decision and be named the Lord of Qingping County. When you are old enough to leave the cabinet, I will personally choose a good family for you!"
"Yue'er only needs to stay with Grandpa Huang!" Yue'er repeated what the eldest prince taught her overnight, looking extremely cute.
After this interlude, there was a rehearsal for the fifth prince, the queen and the ministers. Whether it was the arrangement or the singing, in the eyes of everyone, the standard of adults was naturally much higher than that of little girls. Although it was wonderful, it was difficult to surpass Yue'er.
’s opening scene.
The eldest prince was very proud. It was rare that he had taken advantage in a direct confrontation, so he was naturally overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late..." Eunuch An reminded from the side, and his voice reached the Queen's ears.
"Let's listen to one last time!" Today's banquet went very smoothly. The emperor also drank a little more and seemed a little excited.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Wenjun of the Lanling Xiao family..." The queen wanted to recommend Xiao Wenjun's play, but was interrupted.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared a good show, and I dare to recommend myself!" Yu Wenyao suddenly stood up, walked to the emperor, and knelt down to petition.
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Yu Wenyao was neither humble nor arrogant, he felt a little pity when he thought of how he knelt outside the palace all night last night.
The atmosphere in the originally jubilant hall suddenly darkened. Although the emperor ordered a ban on what happened last night, the bad news spread thousands of miles, and the whole hall could probably count the number of people who didn't know about it on one hand.
Concubine Guo has been in the cold palace overnight, and the maids and eunuchs in the palace have already known about it. At this moment, everyone is whispering to each other, wondering where the courage of these three princes came from.
"I heard that the third prince knelt outside the hall last night, but His Majesty was never seen."
"The third prince has always kept aloof from the world and has never made such a request."
"Yes! Concubine Guo's matter will definitely affect the third prince..."
People all speculated that based on past experience, the emperor would flatly reject Yu Wenyao's proposal, and even get angry and end it early. Somehow, he never said a word.
"Okay! I'll just follow you! Don't let me down!" the emperor said. He didn't have high hopes for how much Yu Wenyao could do.
As soon as these words came out, the most depressing person was Xiao Wenjun. She had an appointment with the queen to support her at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, Yu Wenyao took the opportunity.
According to Yu Wenyao's personality, he has always been conceited and never fights an unprepared battle. Even though he suffered defeats one after another in front of Xiao Wenjun, his preparations made him invincible.
Even if something happened to Concubine Guo last night, he was still not too implicated, which shows that he has a good handle on human nature.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Wenyao slowly retreated and waved towards the stage, only to see two women walking onto the stage. Their clothes were no different from those who came on stage before.
But as soon as they opened their mouths, everyone was at a loss as to what kind of opera the two of them were singing. However, from what they heard, it turned out that they were singing some short-lived things that could not be put on the stage.
"It seems to be my Minzhou accent?" the official from Minzhou asked.
"Minzhou? Could it be Minzhou's Liyuan Opera that has been lost for many years?" People around him echoed.
"But the play is said to have been lost for many years. Can't you see what's so clever about it?"
"Look, Your Majesty, he..."
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the emperor was sitting upright, changing his previous casual look, and his eyes seemed to be filled with tears...
