Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fireworks
Duan Zhong waved his hand excitedly at Princess Izumo, but His Royal Highness Xiao Beidinger thought that Duan Chong was greeting him, so he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and picked up his wine glass and walked to Duan Chong to toast a glass of wine. Duan Zhong had no choice but to return the salute, but saw Princess Izumo blinking and sticking out her tongue behind Xiao Beiding, completely the image of a naughty mischievous ghost.
The Second Highness didn't pay attention to where Duan Chong's gaze drifted, and said with a smile: "Presumably tonight will definitely be a good night." ”
Duan Chong also smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Duan Chong only hopes that tonight will also be a good night for the second prince." The meaning in the words is extremely obvious: The beauty of this night belongs to me, not to you.
Xiao Beiding exchanged a few more polite words with Duan Chong, and then returned to his seat. Duan Zhong originally wanted to pull Princess Izumo to sit down beside him, but unfortunately all the positions were arranged, and there was not even a vacant seat, so he could only helplessly watch Xiao Beiding lead Princess Izumo to the opposite position and sit down.
Subsequently, the ladies and ladies in the palace also stepped into the seat, and the first to sit was naturally Xiao Beiping's mother Mrs. Lu and Xiao Beiding's mother Yang Guifei, after all, these two people were the nobles who gave birth to the dragon son The third royal highness Liang Cheng was led by the eunuch, Liang Cheng's mother died in childbirth, and then she has been taken care of by her son, and the mothers of each palace take turns to take care of them for a while, but she is a child who grew up eating hundreds of meals.
As the so-called biggest card is always the last to appear, so our Liang Wendi sat down in everyone and waited for half an hour before appearing.
Pushed into the arena by the eunuch, under the buttocks was the dragon wheelchair sent by Duan Chong a few months ago, which made Duan Chong feel quite happy.
Emperor Liang Wendi was helped to sit on the seat, and saw that the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty were already sitting on the seat seriously, and several children were also present, so he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Don't be restrained, Aiqing is not above the court now, everyone eats and drinks at will, no need to be restrained and etiquette!" After that, he picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a large mouthful of food into his mouth, drank a small cup of wine, and waved his hand: "Everyone is eating, and after a day in the palace, they must be hungry." ”
After finishing pouring another glass of wine, he stood up with the support of the eunuch: "Come, I salute you Aiqing." If it weren't for the help of all of you, these two countries would not be as prosperous as they are today. Then he drank the wine in one gulp.
The emperor and Lao Tzu all toasted, how dare the ministers slack off, they all hurriedly stood up and quickly drank the glass of wine. This Emperor Wen of Liang has been in power for so many years, and it is the first time that he has toasted the ministers. And after drinking, the banquet finally moved. The ministers also began to make small talk with each other.
Emperor Liang Wendi was joking with Mrs. Lu and Yang Guifei on the side, Duan Zhong patted Xiao Beiping's shoulder and whispered: "It's your turn now, you always have to take this first show." ”
Xiao Beiping was stunned: "Why does it have to be the first show, isn't it the same when the performance is?" ”
Duan Zhonghua shook his head: "Is it listening to you or listening to me?" ”
Xiao Beiping sighed and drank another glass of wine, then turned to Emperor Liang Wen and said, "Father, Erchen has prepared a program for you, please allow Erchen to perform for Father and Emperor first." ”
Emperor Liang Wendi waved his hand: "Accurate!" ”
Xiao Beiping smiled and retreated, but did not return to his seat, but walked straight down. Just when the hundred officials didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Great Prince had taken a sudden stand, the performance had already begun.
The stage is wrapped in red cloth, leaving only the front side, which is extremely festive. The whole circle of the stage was lit with bright red candles, and the whole stage was extremely red. At the moment when all the candles on the stage were lit, twelve graceful girls took to the stage with different musical instruments.
Most of the officials present have heard the performance of these twelve strange women, but Emperor Liang Wendi has never seen it, so it feels very fresh. And new things are easy to make people happy.
The twelve women sang while playing, the first two pieces were quite famous in Nanliang, but it was relatively novel to play them with twelve instruments together. Although there are hundreds of musicians in the palace, there are actually seven or eight kinds of instruments in the palace, and each ensemble wants momentum rather than effect, so the performance of these twelve women is different. And our Emperor Wen of Liang was obviously very fascinated by it, as can be seen from the empty bowl and the shelving chopsticks in front of the emperor's table. Obviously, Emperor Liang Wendi was so fascinated that he forgot to eat and drink.
However, Emperor Liang Wendi suddenly frowned, because the music suddenly stopped, and he was about to ask what happened, but he saw a person slowly walking on the stage. It is our prince Xiao Beiping.
Just when everyone didn't understand why there was a stage under this dot, the music suddenly started again. The tone was cheerful, but the crowd hadn't heard it. And we have to Xiao Beiping, the eldest prince actually opened his mouth and sang.
"Happy birthday to my father, I wish my father a happy birthday......" Obviously, this is a birthday song that Duan taught Xiao Beiping. Duan Zhong is a person who has studied psychology, so he naturally knows what his parents want most, even if he sends the most precious treasures, he can't match a blessing from his children. Emperor Liang Wendi is also a father, so naturally he can't avoid this cheesiness.
So regardless of how Xiao Beiping sings, this intention alone is enough to make Emperor Liang Wendi's mouth bloom. Duan Zhong looked at Emperor Liang Wendi who was smiling at the head of the seat, then nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his hand to cover his ears...... This Xiao Beiping sings too much...... It's ugly, and it's still out of tune!
When Xiao Beiping finished singing the last sentence "Happy birthday to my father", his hands were raised high, and at the same time, all the candles on the stage were blown out in an instant. Listening to the sound of "boom", a red light flew from the ground into the sky, dragged out a long red tail, flew to a height of more than ten zhang "bang" and exploded and cracked, instantly blooming a huge red fireworks.
Then there was a second roar, and then a third sound, and countless fireworks flew into the sky one after another, blooming with huge fireworks of various colors and shapes, reflecting the entire sky above the palace in a very beautiful light. At this moment, Duan Zhong himself felt happy when he looked at such brilliant fireworks, not to mention Emperor Liang Wendi and the civil and military officials who had never seen the fireworks. Duan Zhong believed that now the people of the whole city have seen the wonders in the palace at this moment, and tomorrow it will definitely spread in a boiling light.
Nearly two hundred fireworks arranged around the stage by Duan Zhong all shot into the sky, and when the last fireworks exploded, Xiao Beiping stood on the stage and bowed deeply to Emperor Liang Wen and shouted: "Happy birthday to the emperor, long life." With that, he turned around and walked off the stage.
There was silence, and then there was applause from the audience. This applause is not only for these twelve strange women, but also for the fireworks in the sky, and even more to this highness who personally celebrates the birthday of his father. Emperor Liang Wendi's head kept nodding at the moment, and he kept saying "good" in his mouth, how could he be dissatisfied with such a show? With such a filial son, this life is enough.
After Xiao Beiping stepped off the stage, a strong fragrance began to fill the air. A lady seemed to have discovered something and was pleasantly surprised: "This is the smell of lily perfume!" After stopping this, another lady also suddenly woke up, "There are also osmanthus and chrysanthemums...... Oh my God, it smells so good. ”
It turns out that the perfume is wrapped in copper paper, and a little bit is stuffed into each firework, and when the fireworks explode, the amount of input produced is enough to melt through the copper paper and disperse the perfume into the air. For this show, Duan Zhong has made a lot of money, whether it is fireworks or perfumes, he has used a lot of weight. And Duan Zhong directly threw in all the perfumes that had been accumulated for more than a month, for this scene. Duan Zhong believed that the smell of this perfume was enough to stay in the palace for three days.
When everyone was intoxicated by the smell of perfume, His Royal Highness Xiao Beiping had already stepped forward and knelt in front of Emperor Liang Wendi: "Father's birthday, incense in the air, it is auspicious from the sky, congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father!" ”
Emperor Liang Wendi laughed when he heard this, so much so that he choked on himself and coughed violently, and Gonggong Cao on the side was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to pat Emperor Liang Wendi on the back, and was about to order someone to ask for a doctor, but Emperor Liang Wendi waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and when he changed it, he smiled and said to the hundred officials present: "I like the gift from Beiping very much." I've received countless gifts over the decades, but this one is my favorite, good, good. Peiping bothered this time. After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned to the eunuch to help Xiao Beiping, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked him to sit down.
After Xiao Beiping returned to his seat, he gave Duan Zhong a thumbs up, and Duan Chong smiled slightly and nodded. The adults present are all patting Emperor Liang Wen and Xiao Beiping at the moment, meaning nothing more than that His Majesty is wise and martial, and if there is a father, there must be a son, and a good son was born.
Duan Zhong didn't pay much attention to Xiao Beiping's thumb, but blinked his eyes, Xiao Beiping naturally understood the meaning of Duanzhong.
Silver.
In Duan Chong's view, instead of bothering to prepare so many programs, it is better to put all resources into one program. Because no matter how much you prepare, even if you are willing to act, Your Majesty may not be willing to watch it, so it is better to prepare only one show seriously. And it's this show, Duan Zhong has made a lot of money. Not to mention this huge amount of perfume, this fireworks is a new gadget that took months to develop, and it took countless hours and energy to develop.
So looking at Duan Chong's blink, Xiao Beiping knew that his small treasury might be moved by half again. Fortunately, the emperor Lao Tzu only has a forty birthday, otherwise in less than three years, he must be the poorest prince in the world.
