The Count of Cheprano, who was in the distance, had already seen the Duke of Mantua at this time, and seemed to be flirting with his wife...... This made him very angry, and he tried to run over and snatch his wife back while avoiding the merry duke.

Just as Count Cheprano was about to pass, the hunchbacked Rigoletto suddenly stopped his way, and at the same time sang with a wicked smile: "Is there something wrong with you!

The Duke heard Rigoletto's warning, turned his head and saw Count Ceprano standing not far away, and immediately laughed and pulled his wife away, and soon disappeared into the crowd of balls.

Rigoletto interfered with Count Cheprano with a wicked smile, preventing him from going to the duke, and at the same time persuading the other party, the duke likes to drink and have fun, and it is not strange to do this kind of thing, he has always been such a person, you don't know, don't you just use your wife to make him happy, why are you so stingy!

Rigoletto's face-to-face humiliation naturally made Cheprano angry to death, but now he was more anxious to get his wife back than arguing with the other party, so he stopped talking to the other party and hurried to find the duke and his wife.

The nobles at the dance party in the hall continued to be immersed in singing and laughing...... As a courtier, Rigoletto is both hunchback and deformed, so he is naturally the object of everyone's teasing. But he doesn't care about these at all, his job is to play the role of a royal clown, because only in this way will the duke be happy, and as long as the duke is happy, then others will be afraid of him. Even though he sometimes resents all this, he still holds back his unhappiness and continues to laugh.

......

At this time, someone came over laughing and singing excitedly: "Big news!

When the people around heard this, they all gathered around excitedly and sang in chorus: "What's the matter?

"You won't believe it!"

Everyone: "Speak, speak!"

"Rigoletto!"

The crowd laughed and said, "What's wrong with him! Has his hunchback fallen off? Has he become a normal person?"

"No! it's even more amazing than that! You fool...... Hahahaha! He actually has a 'mistress'!"

The crowd was amazed and sang, "This is impossible! Who would believe such a thing!"

"A monster has become Cupid! Hahaha! Can you believe it!"

The crowd scoffed: "That's a monster Cupid!

......

Rigoletto now didn't know that the people in the hall were talking about him, and he was still following the Duke of Mantua...... The Duke of Mantua was angry because the Count of Cheprano had just pulled his lady away from him, which made him feel that his authority was being challenged.

The Duke angrily sang to Rigoletto, beside him, "There is no one here who hates him more than Count Cheprano!" Speaking of this, he thought about it again and laughed, "But his wife has made me swoon!"

Rigoletto followed and flatteringly sang, "Then snatch her up!"

Duke: "Of course I do! The question is how?"

Rigoletto: "Let's do it tonight!"

Duke: "And what about that bastard Cheprano?"

Rigoletto: "Isn't there still an empty cell!"

The Duke shook his head: "No!"

Rigoletto: "Then exile him to the remote frontier!"

The Duke shook his head: "No! this idea is even more stupid!"

Rigoletto: "Then just cut off his head!"

Count Cheprano was already secretly observing the two at this time, and when he heard Rigoletto's vicious language, he was almost angry, but he did not dare to challenge the authority of the Duke of Mantua, so he could only take his anger out on Rigoletto, and immediately walked up and angrily reprimanded him.

But Rigoletto was not afraid of Ceprano at all, because he was a favorite of the duke, and no one dared to do anything to him as long as the duke was around. Then he approached Cheplano's side with some provocation, and repeated some of the benefits of cutting off his head.

Of course, these words made Cheprano so angry that he almost vomited blood to death, and almost resisted the urge to beat Rigoletto.

Seeing that Cheprano was a little angry, the Duke called Rigoletto over and sang, "Your jokes are always a bit excessive! Don't you see that he is on the verge of an outburst?"

Rigoletto sang flatteringly: "I am your favorite! no one dares to do anything to me." ”

The courtiers stood aside and glared at Rigoletto, and sang in chorus: "Sooner or later, we will have to settle accounts with this shameless man!"

Duke: "If you continue like this, you will surely fall victim to their anger." ”

Rigoletto smiled, "I'm your favorite! ”

The ministers sang angrily: "All those who are angry with the camel!

The Duke still taught Rigoletto a lesson, and the camel still smiled and patted the Duke's ass, and the nobles who did not dare to challenge the Duke's authority could only take their anger on Rigoletto, and discussed together that they must teach him a lesson.

The music of the ball also suddenly became enthusiastic, and the people danced and sang in chorus: everything is so noisy here! This is a happy kingdom! This is a carnival kingdom!

......

"Get out of the way! I have something to say to the Duke. A loud roar came.

......

The crowd at the ball saw the man approaching and sang his name in unison: "Count Montero!"

The old Count Montero (bass) sang angrily, "It's me! Montero, and I, with a thunderous voice, want to condemn you here, Duke!"

The Duke's face was very ugly at this time, and when Rigoletto saw this, he suddenly thought of a good idea, and hurriedly said, "Lord Duke, can I speak to him on your behalf?"

The Duke looked at Rigoletto's ridiculous appearance and thought it was a good idea, so he waved his hand, implying that he was allowed to represent him.

Rigoletto got permission, excitedly pulled over a chair, put it on the height, and then climbed on it and sat down on it in a clumsy and ridiculous way, and deliberately pretended to look like a duke, but because his appearance was ridiculous, the surrounding courtiers were also amused by him.

Rigoletto sat down in his chair and looked down at the Count of Montero with a haughty face, and sang, "Don't you know that you are already a traitor, sir! After speaking, he smiled at the duke flatteringly, and the implication was, do you still satisfy you with my performance?

The Duke smiled and nodded......
