Chapter 806: Birthday Ceremony

Ouyang Zhi automatically skipped Emperor Hongzhi's words.

Emperor Hongzhi was angry for a while, but he felt that it was meaningless, so he had to sit down, sip his tea, and did not continue to be senselessly angry.

The next day is the birthday day.

Emperor Hongzhi got up early in the morning, and then went to Renshou Palace, cautiously arrived outside Renshou Palace, first looked for a eunuch, and asked, "Is the Empress Dowager up?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang is combing her hair."

Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head and saw that the imperial doctor was waiting outside the dormitory, so he stepped forward: "How is your body?" ”

"It's a lot better, I think it's this big birthday, and it brings joy to this palace, and my mother is in a particularly good spirit today."

Emperor Hongzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was full of joy.

So he entered the dormitory, and saw that the Empress Dowager was trembling, supported by someone, pacing in the hall, and saw Emperor Hongzhi coming: "Emperor, here." ”

Emperor Hongzhi bowed down: "Is my grandmother still healthy?" Today is my grandmother's birthday, and Sun Chen is here to pay tribute to my grandmother's birthday and wish you the long spring of Songhe. ”

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really embarrassing for you, come here so early, the hundred officials are going to enter the palace, and the wives should be coming." You are the emperor, the head of the family, and the head of a country. ”

Emperor Hongzhi kowtowed again: "Grandmother, your old man, if you can be more comfortable, Sun Chen is here, and it is good to accompany you more." ”

"It's not going to work." The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Everyone is looking at you, after your birthday, come and sit with the mourning family." ”

Emperor Hongzhi got up: "In this case, Sun Chen is busy." ”

Birthday gifts should be performed according to etiquette.

First, hundreds of officials entered the palace to congratulate, and then, the women entered the palace.

The harem was already overcrowded, Zhu Zaimo was dragged into Renshou Palace, and the little guy staggered under the attention of countless women, walked to the hall, bowed down, and said in a milky voice: "Great-grandson Zhu ...... Cinnabar...... Zhu ......" He looked confused, and suddenly couldn't remember who he was.

The eunuch on the side stomped his feet anxiously and reminded in a low voice: "Zhu Zaimo." ”

Zhu Zaimo remembered: "Great-grandson Zhu Zaimo, say hello to the Empress Dowager." Congratulations...... Congratulations ......"

I forgot the words again, my eyes blinked, as if the computer was down, and I was at a loss.

The room was full of laughter.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, and beckoned to Zhu Zaimo: "Come on, come on, my Zaimo, come to the mourning house, I miss you." ”

Zhu Zaimo got up, led by someone, and when he came to Zhou's side, Zhu Zaimo suddenly shouted: "I think of it, blessing is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan." ”

The Empress Dowager pinched his little face distressedly: "You don't need to say beautiful words, if you don't say it, the mourning family will also hurt you." ”

Empress Zhang stood aside and picked up Zhu Zaimo, her eyes were red, she hadn't seen her for a few days, she wanted to take the child several times, but she was afraid that it would be too far away, and she was delayed all the way, so she kissed her left and kissed her right.

On the side, on the small couch, Fang Zhengqing was lying on his back, his legs were spread, the big character was in general, he was snoring, he seemed to hear a lot of movement, his eyes opened slightly, and he was calm again, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

Princess Taikang gently tucked the quilt for her.

But someone said: "But I don't know when the prince will come?" ”

Yes, I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so long.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "In order to celebrate his birthday, the prince said that he invited the opera troupe to the palace, and Fang Jifan is arranging it." ”

The wives complimented: "Niangniang is really a blessing." ”

But in my heart, I don't think so.

Noble families, which time to do a birthday is not to invite the team to sing, some families have a big business, and they directly raise the opera team at home.

Therefore, this listening to the drama is not very attractive.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know how to play, I haven't heard of it, and if I think about it, it's just an ordinary play.

The Empress Dowager felt that this was a manifestation of the prince's growing up, and her heart was extremely comfortable.

Queen Zhang was a little worried, for fear that there would be some moths, since she was singing, she invited someone to come, and she still needed that kid to go to Zhang Luo, why haven't you seen anyone so far.

Empress Zhang said, "Why didn't Ji Fan come." ”

Zhu Xiurong said: "After enlightening his mother, he went to Zhangluo with the prince. ”

Empress Zhang secretly said in her heart that it was not good.

The prince must be going to do something again, Fang Jifan is afraid of going too far, so he follows.

Waiting for the hundred officials to congratulate the birthday, and then, the Hongzhi Emperor came, followed by Zhang Mao and others, these are either the emperor's relatives, or the nearest ministers, the women first gave a big salute to the Hongzhi Emperor, and the Hongzhi Emperor took Zhang Mao and others to the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Sun Chen is in the foreign court, he has prepared a banquet, and his grandmother is in this harem, and he has a banquet with all the nobles, and Sun Chen is going to leave." ”

"Wait a minute, don't rush to the table just yet." Zhou's pressed his hand: "The mourning family looked at the birthday gifts sent by various mansions, and the mourning family liked it very much, especially the Wei State Mansion, which actually found such a big coral." ”

The lady of the Wei Mansion was busy bowing down: "If you can Bo the Empress Dowager Fengyan Yiyue, it is also worth it." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's really troublesome." As for the other pearl agate, which one of these places is painstaking, and I think about it, in order to collect these birthday gifts, it is hard for you. ”

The Empress Dowager then smiled again: "But these things, let's return them all." ”

"What?"

Then the Duchess of Wei is happy in her heart, this gift is not in vain, if the Empress Dowager can like it, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it.

But when they heard that they were going back, everyone was surprised.

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "The mourning family has reached this age, no matter how many antiques and curios, what's the use?" You have this heart, the heart of the mourning family, it will be comfortable, these countless treasures, life does not bring, death does not take away, it is useless to keep it, the mourning family can receive your heart. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was embarrassed: "Grandmother, this is not only the heart, but also the truth of where to return." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Let's go, don't say this, don't say this." ”

What curiosities, she has seen a lot.

What's the point of reaching this age?

The Empress Dowager immediately smiled: "But the prince is sensible, saying that he wants the mourning family to listen to the play, from early morning to now, they are all setting up a drama team, come, what time is it now, this birthday banquet, you can be late, listen to the play first." ”

Listen to the play......

Emperor Hongzhi looked confused, why didn't I know anything?

Why didn't anyone say it before?

Zhu Houzhao: What is this going to do?

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is full of interest.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly in his heart, he glanced at Empress Zhang, and Empress Zhang's face was flat.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that even Empress Zhang didn't know about this.

He had no choice but to say: "Sun Chen, follow Yi's will." ”

The troupe has already been set up.

In Renshou Palace, there is everything in the palace, and there are many people, and this stage was quickly built.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't see anyone, he put on makeup backstage, because he was acting as a small student, facing the mirror, watching the ink painting on his face, and soon, his face was unrecognizable.

The costumes are even more graceful, and there is no place that is not magnificent.

This is also a characteristic of Peking Opera.

Fang Jifan was in the background, constantly urging: "Hurry up with your makeup." Grandson...... Where is the grandson? ”

An old student who had already put on makeup turned around: "Godmaster, I'm here." ”

Fang Jifan said: "After the play, before removing the makeup, you are not allowed to eat, don't break the makeup." ”

"Oh." The person who was called his grandson quietly swallowed the jerky in his mouth.

Fang Jifan was very anxious, afraid that something would go wrong.

Then, he said: "Have you put the song list, go and put it on." This is not an ordinary pear orchard line, we are more advanced, all remember, don't be nervous later, how to practice, how to come, don't hang your voice at this time, prepare, prepare, the first scene, who is playing, are ready. ”

Fang Jifan crossed his hands, as if he felt that Fang Cai's words were not threatening enough, so he grinded his teeth: "Listen to it, if anyone dares to drop the chain, kill it, feed the dog!" ”

As he spoke, Fang Jifan walked out of the backstage with a smoke, and when he arrived on the stage, he leaned out and looked down.

A shed has already been built below, which is for the nobles to sit, and there are many brocade piers, which are surrounded by yellow curtains on all sides, which are for the people watching the play to shelter from the wind. Everywhere, there are also many charcoal pots, which are for heating.

There are Jindun in it, and there are also a few cases, on which there are tea cups and dried fruits.

Of course, men and women must be seated separately, and the middle is also separated by yellow curtains, but in this era, we must not be negligent.

In the distance, but there are mighty people coming, people are coming, Fang Jifan is speechless, if he smashes the performance, he will definitely die, dare to play like this in the palace, who else is there besides my Fang Jifan?

Who asked me Fang Jifan, respect the elderly, oops, it's amazing, go home and let Ouyang Zhi write down this matter for himself, which can be published in the future, called "Fang's Biography".

On the side, hiding on the side of the stage, behind the curtains, is a group of Jinghu, Jingerhu, Yueqin, Sanxian music artists, they are trembling one by one, although they have practiced for a long time, but they have not entered the palace, and when they saw Fang Jifan coming, they saw this horse master, and their hearts trembled very much.

Fang Jifan glanced at them gently: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, follow the rules, it'll be fine, I won't kill you, if something goes wrong, I will kill your children and grandchildren, okay, okay, don't cry, the Empress Dowager and his old man, the birthday banquet, you have to celebrate, come, laugh, eggplant!" ”

The Empress Dowager and others have already entered the market.

Looking at this stage, I feel a little fresh.

Because the stage is large, unlike other operas, people are all sitting, or blowing, or playing and singing.

The Empress Dowager sat in the shed, which was as warm as spring, while Empress Zhang and Princess Taikang sat on the side and accompanied them.

Zhu Zaimo was picked up by the Empress Dowager.

It seems that Zhu Zaimo is very familiar with this scene, and when he saw this stage, he immediately began to have fun.

The Empress Dowager was very happy when she saw her great-grandson smiling.

The women are based on their ranks, with the Queen Mother as the center, either sitting or standing.

What kind of drama is this, I haven't seen it.
