Chapter 45, Chonghua Palace (I)

On the stage, Shufangzhai was already babbling and singing the Kunqu opera "The Legend of the Phoenix" hand-picked by the Queen Mother, and her tactful voice was more delicate than many women. And Hua Dan on the stage appeared in makeup, with a flexible waist and limbs, like a beautiful woman with a vivid voice. But this beautiful woman is a eunuch.

As a modern person, she is naturally not interested in opera, and she can't even tell what is Kunqu Opera and what is Peking Opera. However, there is still some historical common sense, Peking Opera has not yet taken shape at this time, and now it is Kunqu Opera that is popular. What is sung in the Natural Palace is Kunqu Opera. The songs that were sung, babbling, and humming were half a sentence that I couldn't understand, but no matter how much I didn't like to listen to them, I had to sit upright and show a serious look.

Compared with the feigned pretense of Mingming, Geng Yingyue seemed to really listen to it with relish, a pair of beautiful eyes didn't blink, and her ears were about to stand up. There is no entertainment in this era, and the only thing that can be regarded as elegant is Kunqu Opera. Most of the show girls under the corridor listened carefully.

changed two or three Kunqu operas in a flash, except for the occasional show girl to change clothes...... Well, that is, to go to the Gongfang Xiaojie, in addition, the show girls obediently sit on the chairs and listen to the play.

Suddenly, a young grandmother came out of it, and stopped beside Suo Yuluo, and the mother said politely: "The Queen Mother invites the little master of Suo Yuluo to go in and ask questions." ”

When Suo Yuluo heard this, his charming face was full of joy, and without saying a word, he got up and went with the grandmother. I only heard a show girl sitting next to Suo Yuluo take a sip and snort lightly, but she didn't say anything unkind.

It's a pity that Geng Yingyue didn't notice that Suo Yuluo was invited in, otherwise she would have to be sarcastic. It wasn't until this song was finished that Geng Yingyue asked, "Huh, where did Suo Yuluo go?"

He smiled and was about to answer, but Geng Yingyue suddenly whispered: "Sister, look, that little eunuch, isn't that the father-in-law when we entered the primary election of the Shenwu Sect!"

He was wearing a navy blue python satin eunuch suit, wearing a six-grade crown on his head, and holding a round dragon-patterned tin can in both hands, and he didn't know what was in it, so he carried it all the way into the main hall. Look, it seems to be something dedicated to the Queen Mother? Presumably it should have been ordered by the emperor.

The emperor once told her that he was very filial to the queen mother, and it seemed that he was ...... On the surface, he is indeed a filial son.

Hao Ming lowered his head and reminded Geng Yingyue: "That is the deputy chief eunuch in front of the emperor, called Wang Qin. ”

Geng Yingyue showed a look of surprise: "How did my sister know?"

"Forehead......" was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said vaguely: "It seems that I heard someone say it a few days ago......"

Fortunately, Geng Yingyue is not a person who asks the bottom of things, she smiled and said, "I don't know what good things are in that big jar." ”

At this time, Geng Yingyue was beside a show girl with a Han military banner and said with a smile: "What is given to the Queen Mother, no matter what, is naturally a predetermined thing." ”

Geng Yingyue nodded and said, "What Sister Lu said is true. ”

The show girl's name is Lu Hairpin, the daughter of Lu Shilong in Zhizhou, the family has been scholarly for generations, although her father's official position is not very high, but he has been an official for generations, and his etiquette and upbringing are very good. This time in the Xianruo Pavilion to learn the rules, many Han Army flag show girls because they are not familiar with flower pot bottom shoes, several of them were left with the brand, but she is one of the few Han Army Flag who can walk like a cloud if she is familiar with flower pot bottom shoes.

Now there are only about 30 show girls left, and the ones who have been marked are mainly those of the Han military banner, and a few are sick...... or ate bad stomachs, or got a cold, and a few of them quarreled with each other, and the trouble reached the ears of Jiang Ji, the mother in charge, and played the queen mother, and went out with a sign. And although Suo Yuluo is arrogant and domineering, but other show girls are afraid of her family background, no one dares to make a big deal with her, even if she occasionally squeezes people too much, Jiang Ji Mama has always turned a blind eye. In this way, she became the first proud person in the Xianruo Pavilion.

When he was thinking about it, Wang Qin had already walked out of the main hall, and he walked briskly along the corridor and past the show girls, but when he walked past him again, his originally hanging hand suddenly stretched out an index finger and pointed in the direction of the sun's westward inclination.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a black line, Xianruo had been in the hall for more than half a month, and there were not many days left before the rules were completed. Is it necessary? It's just that Wang Qin pointed the way, can she still not go? Can she afford to offend that person?

Yu Ming wiped his lips and said to Geng Yingyue beside him, "I'll go change my clothes and come back later." With that, he went to the west side and went straight out of the west corner gate of Shufangzhai.

And very coincidentally, the west corner gate was not only open, but there were no guarding eunuchs.

As soon as Ming Ming walked out, Wang Qin, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly stepped forward, beat a thousand children, and said with a smile: "The slave has asked the little master for peace!"

Just look at Wang Qin's crown, you know that this is the palace supervisor of the sixth grade, and she is still a show girl with no rank and no rank. It stands to reason that a high-grade eunuch, and a eunuch with a good face in front of the emperor, does not need to make such a big gift to a show girl at all, nodding and saying hello, even if it is not a courtesy.

Yu Ming hurriedly smiled and nodded: "The prince is polite." ”

Wang Qin smiled and raised his hand and said, "Little master, please go to Chonghua Palace in the west with the minions!

Hao Ming nodded again, and suddenly asked curiously: "...... the tin can that my father-in-law sent in?"

Wang Qin said: "It is the Longjing before the rain that is 800 miles away from Hangzhou, and the emperor ordered the servants to send it to the Queen Mother to try it." The Queen Mother was also very happy and rewarded the slave with a handful of golden melon seeds. ”

I see! No wonder you use tin cans. This tin, although it is also metal, but there is no smell of metal, and the tin can likes to be cool, not easy to generate heat, and the sealing is good, so it also has an excellent preservation effect, and it is the best utensil for holding fresh tea. Eight hundred miles all the way to the Forbidden City, I am afraid that the tea leaves still carry the breath of the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River.

Hao Ming asked again: "Did the tea arrive today?"

Wang Qin smiled and said, "It was delivered three days ago." ”

I made an "oh" sound, and I knew it in my heart. Sure enough, the emperor's filial piety is just a superficial appearance. If he was really filial and wanted the Queen Mother to taste the freshest Longjing before the rain this spring, then it should be that as soon as the tea arrived, he would immediately send someone to Cining Palace, how could it be three days late? Then the emperor's purpose is obvious, because only today the Queen Mother summoned all the show girls to Shufangzhai to listen to the play.

And such an ingenious mind...... It seems that the emperor does have some love for her. It's just such love, and Ming doesn't think it's real love. It's just the emperor's whim. And what Hao Ming has to do is to maintain the emperor's favor as long as possible, so as to gain a long-term foothold in the palace.
