Chapter Ninety-Four: Summoned to the Palace
On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, someone finally came to the palace, not the previous father-in-law Qi, but a father-in-law who looked very young, but Shang Xuesleeve did not dare to slack off, and greeted the reception respectfully with the head of the pipe.

The head of the pipe asked very humbly: "Come to my father-in-law, the Xinyin Society entered the autumn before entering Shangjing, there was no such blessing to enter the palace to perform, what is to avoid taboos, you must remind some." With that, he handed over a brocade bag.
The father-in-law quietly included the sleeve bag, the brocade bag was heavy, his mood was a little better, and said: "Of course, there are many taboos in the palace, and our family can't finish talking about it for a while." Our family has read the list of plays in the newspaper, there are a lot of people in your play, remember to restrain yourself when the time comes, don't move around, don't talk nonsense, don't compete with other performance teams, finish singing peacefully, just entering the palace to perform this name is enough for you to be inexhaustible, don't covet anything else. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Shang Xue's sleeve, the business class master of the Xinyin Society has been in the limelight since he entered Beijing, and his reputation has spread to the palace.
Shang Xuesleeve knew the meaning of this look, and was not annoyed, nodded, and said: "Thank you for coming to my father-in-law to mention it, please take care of me when the time comes, it is already a great blessing to be able to enter the palace to perform, how dare Xinyin Club covet anything next to it, as long as the trick you said is safe and sound, we will definitely have thanks." ”
On the right day, Shang Xue took a group of people and waited outside the palace gate before dawn.
However, after a while, I saw the people from the Ming Feng class and the Yaguan Club coming. Shang Xuesleeve took the initiative to walk over, and Shi Li said: "Class Nine master, building class master, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”
The head of the Mingfeng class is one of the long-famous Qingyou Eight Uniques, "Xiangjiuxiao", and it was also Tsing Yi who was as famous as Sai Guanyin. Although she is famous, she has no shelf, she is a hearty and generous woman, because it is not good to call her "Ringing Class Master", so she makes people call her "Nine Class Master".
The other is also one of the famous eight unique "Xiaoyulou", Dayue Xiaoyue mentioned and others to fight for the upstairs is he, is a southern old student, also for the same reason, the big guy is not called "small class master", but called a "building class master".
The three of them saluted each other, and after a few more questions, they learned that only the three of them were called in the palace today!
Shang Xuesleeve felt that it was nothing, but the other two people felt the feeling of the Yangtze River before and after the waves!
Lingren can't be popular for a long time on the stage.
It is normal for generations of old and new actors to change, and what they feel is that this kind of drama called "Ming Opera" has been in less than a year, at least in the eyes of the nobles above, it is almost as famous as Northern Opera and Southern Opera!
The three of them didn't dare to chat outside the palace gate, so they each led the pianists who performed today, and lined up in an orderly manner.
Shang Xue looked at the palace guards guarding the side door, motionless like statues, only the regular white breath from her mouth and nose, she looked at the other two teams slightly, in this cold day, she could only stand honestly, obviously it was very cold, but she didn't even dare to stomp her feet and rub her hands.
She couldn't help but be very glad in her heart, thanks to listening to Qinghuan's nagging today, she was wearing thick and solid from head to toe, otherwise in such weather, it is possible to sit down sick if she freezes.
After waiting for about half an hour, the eunuch came over with the guards, and first carefully inspected the drama boxes, especially those from the Xinyin Society and the Yaguan Society, because they all brought a lot of weapons to be used when acting, Shang Xue sleeves watched the guards check the same way as they were by the side, while thinking, it seems that Xiao Yulou is also in the martial arts drama today. After all these were checked, the guard waved his hand, and the eunuch said arrogantly, "Follow our family", and led the three teams into the palace.
Shang Xue followed behind without squinting, her eyes blinked slightly, and a very small snow particle stuck to her eyelashes, and it began to snow.
The palace is naturally huge, and the three teams followed the father-in-law who led the way to turn left and right, and then came to a garden, which was inscribed with the words "Jinghe Garden". As soon as you enter the garden, it seems that there are two seasons in the garden and outside the garden, and the scene of red and willow green in the garden is obviously specially prepared for the birthday of Li Guifei today, each tree is thinly wrapped with green ribbons, and decorated with clusters of various colored flowers, and even the ground is covered with green soft felt, every other section, you can see a bird cage hanging on the branches, birds chirping, for a while it seems to really enter the fairyland of birds singing and flowers.
This arrangement shows the love of today's saint for Concubine Li!
Shang Xuesleeve and the others didn't dare to look around, and gradually saw a stage exposed in the shade of flowers and trees. The royal stage was naturally packed up in great style, and the eunuch pointed to the red-walled and blue-tiled houses behind the stage, and said, "You people are going to put on makeup here and wait for the summons." He pointed to the carved and painted theater building opposite the stage and said, "After a while, the saint and all the ladies will come here to enjoy the play, you have to be careful." ”
How dare everyone not be careful? At present, they were so pressed by this royal grandeur that they couldn't straighten their waists, and they all entered their respective rooms in a proper and quiet manner, and began to prepare for the play.
Shang Xuesleeve glanced at it, and said with a few class tricks: "Move these braziers to the inner room, the big guys put on makeup first, and only go in when they change clothes, and stay outside the rest of the time." ”
Xiao Yutao wrinkled her nose and said, "It's so cold." ”
Shang Xuesleeve glanced out the window and said, "Look at the stage outside, we will perform on it in a while." There is no brazier on the stage, and at that time, it will be hot and then cold, not to mention whether it will cause illness, as long as you sneeze on stage, it will be all over. ”
Li Yufeng nodded, and said to Xiao Yutao: "If you feel that it is cold here, practice more, and it will not be cold when the event is open and then on stage." ”
Shang Xuesleeve instructed again: "Uncle Ma, you put on your makeup first, and when you are done, you can go and inform the other two teams." ”
Xiao Yutao was already kneading the powder, and when she heard this, she turned her head and said "ah", "Why?" ”
She thought, if other teams make a fool of themselves on stage, wouldn't it be even more good for the Xinyin Club?
Her lips moved, although she didn't say it, it also made her brother Li Yufeng a little anxious.
On the contrary, Shang Xuesleeve did not show an impatient look, and explained while adjusting the rouge: "The servants in the world are one family, and they cannot be regarded as opponents. ”
The words fell, and after a moment she emphasized again in an accentuated tone: "No. (To be continued.) )
