Because so many people moved to the Wannian Palace, there were too many things to do, and the people were sleepy and tired, including Li Zhi, who also felt a little tired, so he did not rush to feast the ministers, but after resting for two days, the first banquet in the Wannian Palace was held.

The location is in the Paiyun Palace.

Because the Tang Dynasty was a ban on the night, many ministers were not used to evening activities, and when they went back at night, it was not very convenient, after all, this palace was built on the mountainside, so the time was arranged from noon to afternoon, and lunch and dinner were done together.

Today's performances are naturally based on Feng Feilou's sketches and dramas.

Han Yi and the others came to Paiyun Hall early to arrange props or something, this Li Zhi In order to better watch the drama, the stage is all imitation of Fengfeilou, and there is also the most anticipated and hated red cloth.

When the time is coming, I saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with their dependents to this row of cloud halls, if according to Confucian etiquette, the male and female banquets are generally separated, but the Tang Dynasty is relatively open, with the wife to participate in the banquet, it is also a common thing, and the queen did not come, with Wu Meiniang's current identity and status, it is not enough as a hostess to feast those noblewomen, these scholars are very good, if people don't look down on you Wu Zhaoyi, you can excuse it, in case you are invited, but people don't come, this is a very shameful thing.

But it does not mean that as in later generations, the wife sits together, the women sit behind the screen or the beaded curtain, and the men sit in the front.

To tell the truth, these ministers don't like this arrangement, because when Madame is not there, there are palace prostitutes waiting on the side, and they can be justifiably merry, and now Madame is staring at the back, who dares to hug left and right.

Come to this kind of banquet. Most of them were of the noble lady level, and they were all dressed up, combed in a high bun, bandeau dress, red silk over the shoulders, yellow or red narrow-sleeved shirts, green or white floor-length skirts, and red belts hanging from the waist. It's really colorful and gorgeous.

In fact, the fanaticism of women in the Tang Dynasty for clothing is far better than that of other dynasties, and this kind of banquet also has a certain meaning of comparison, to see who wears it better.

Finally bare-breasted!

But Han Yi didn't have a chance to see it.

By noon, the hall was full, and there was a large square table, for there were no chairs yet, but this time the banquet was not a kneeling table. Instead, sit on a long low couch, a bit similar to the cool bed of later generations, a low couch can sit four people, equal to a large table is sixteen people, of course, to the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other members of the dynasty, there is a separate seat, and the outer circle is a staggered screen, bead curtains.

This Li Zhi, as the emperor, of course sat on a couch alone. There is also a screen behind this couch, and needless to say, I know that it is Wu Zhaoyi sitting in the back.

There's also a clearing in between. Originally, the performance was performed here, but due to the particularity of the drama, the stage was moved to the back, but this row of cloud halls is very large, just a stage, and it is easy to accommodate.

Han Ye: They are performers. Now there is no food to eat, waiting obediently backstage, not for them to arrange the time to perform, but to see the emperor's mood, the emperor wants them to perform whenever he wants.

At the beginning of the banquet. Li Zhi stood up with his wine glass and said a word of thanks, and he should indeed be thanked, in the early days of his reign, it was all thanks to the eldest grandson Wuji, a group of old ministers, who were helping him take care of the government and government, and the country was governed in an orderly manner.

Han Yi was not interested in these at all, and she was about to doze off.

But Brother Xiong was very interested in these, hiding behind and listening to what Li Zhi was saying, anyway, he looked very excited.

After the words of thanks, everyone began to eat and drink, but they did not talk about politics, but more about Fengyue, such as calligraphy and painting, music, and so on.

After a long while, I suddenly heard music in front of me.

Didn't you hear about singing and dancing first? Han Yi was curious, walked to the front, and secretly looked outside, the scene outside was so frightened that he almost didn't scream, only to see Li Zhi dancing when he heard the sound, holding a wine glass, and came to the front of the eldest grandson Wuji, dancing with his hands, dancing half-loudly, and the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly got up and jumped.

What's going on?

Han Yi was really frightened, sweating, and said secretly, isn't this the legendary, Brokeback Mountain?

Brother Xiong lay on the ground, poked his head out, looked so excited, and began to shake his fat buttocks to the music.

One after another, until the end, in the main hall, there were demons dancing.

It's a drug addict, isn't it?

Han Yi couldn't understand it at all, and asked Meng'er in a low voice, "Meng'er, do you know what Your Majesty is doing here?" ”

Meng'er was slightly surprised: "You don't know? ”

Han Yi shook his head.

Meng'er immediately explained.

It turns out that this is called a dance, which is a kind of ballroom dance of the Han people, and it is also a kind of etiquette, a very elegant and fashionable activity. Generally, the host dances first, and the guests dance again, just like the wine order, whoever the host invites to dance will get up and dance, and if you don't dance, you won't give face, but this dance is very particular, if you dance wrong, it can be regarded as rudeness.

However, in the aristocratic class, they are very fond of singing and dancing, and the children of the nobility must cultivate singing and dancing from an early age, which is a compulsory course.

Of course, this is not to say that you have to dance at every banquet, and generally you still watch the courtesans dance, but mainly depending on the mood of the host, if you are in a good mood, if the host wants to dance, you must dance along, and of course, you can also sing and play the piano.

It can be seen that Li Zhi is in a very good mood today, he is the first to come back to this Wannian Palace, he must be happy, and he is very talented in music, listening to the little bird, he will compose a song, like these things.

However, this kind of ballroom dance is not aimed at women from good families, but is usually invited by men and women, and courtesans rarely participate.

The lady is just at a banquet between the women and may jump.

In the blink of an eye, in addition to the court prostitutes, many ministers also began to play musical instruments, and a whole group of artists!

After Han Yi found out, he didn't think it was funny, he had always thought that ballroom dancing was invented by Westerners. I didn't expect that there had been ballroom dancing in ancient China for a long time.

It's a kind of culture, and he looks at it with great interest, and his body swings with the rhythm, and if anyone invites him to jump at this time, he will definitely go, and he likes this atmosphere very much. He had also danced with the indigenous Africans.

As soon as this dance danced, the atmosphere was completely opened, and everyone drank happily, so happy.

This gave Han Yi a new understanding of the culture of the Tang Dynasty, not the same as the one he knew, they were all polite, and they spoke in a literary crepe, which was still quite heroic, and it shouldn't be a group of men dancing. It would be best if the woman behind the screen also ran out and jumped.

After the song and dance ended, everyone was in high spirits, and in order not to let this interest fall, Li Zhi asked Han Yi to tell them to perform.

At the beginning, it must have been a sketch, so Han Yi also asked the eunuch to tell Li Zhi that it was best not to eat when watching the sketch. so as not to cause accidents.

In fact, this rule has long been spread. Although most of the princes and nobles here have not seen the sketch, they have also heard of this rule.

The red cloth slowly opens!

A high-pitched shout rang out, "Big flicker! Big flicker! ”

The room fell silent.

Li Zhi heard this, and suddenly smiled behind the screen: "Mei Niang, the influence of this drama is really not to be underestimated, I heard that the word is flickering now." It is very popular in Chang'an. ”

Wu Meiniang behind the bead curtain said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that this word is quite interesting, the meaning of flicker is similar to cheating and lying, but deception and lying are not done by a gentleman after all, which makes people annoying." But if you flicker, it has a bit of a joking meaning, and it is easy to dissolve the embarrassing atmosphere. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. ”

While the two were talking, there was already laughter in the hall.

Brother Xiong, Du Zuhua, and Xu Youyou are the three best acting skills in Fengfeilou's performance team, and they were still a little nervous at first, but with everyone's laughter, they were also fully engaged.

Li Zhi also saw this sketch for the first time, and after a while, he leaned back with a smile.

Originally, the ladies in the screen had to be polite and not to make loud noises, but this sketch was so funny that from time to time I could hear giggles from behind the screen.

In short, in front of the sketch, regardless of the aristocracy and the poor, they all laughed.

The time of happiness is always short-lived, and soon, this "Selling Abduction" will end.

Brother Xiong, Du Zuhua, and Xu Youyou came to the stage to salute.

"I haven't smiled so much in a long time. Ok, good, good! Twenty horses of silk were rewarded for each person. ”

Li Zhi was the first to stand up and applaud.

For a while, it was also full of applause.

Brother Xiong, Du Zuhua, and Xu Youyou couldn't help but be overjoyed, lowered their heads, and looked at each other.

The red cloth slowly fell again.

Brother Xiong and the others retreated to the backstage.

"Chubby, Andy, Yoyo, very good, you guys are amazing."

Han Yi never hesitated to praise them, and immediately stepped forward and praised him, don't look at him as if he was quite relaxed, but he was actually nervous, what if something happened to him, it would be really bad.

Brother Xiong smiled, and suddenly said with anticipation: "Big brother, do you have anything to eat, I'm so hungry." ”

Worst! I almost forgot that this fat man had to eat after the show. Han Yi said with a smile: "What to eat now, there will be a big dinner later, all of them are palace banquets." ”

Brother Xiong's pair of small eyes widened, and he said, "Really? ”

Han Yi flickered: "It's necessary, you can bear with it again, and we'll eat it together later." ”

Brother Xiong nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll bear with it a little longer." ”

Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately arranged for someone to get the props up, he didn't dare to make the emperor wait too long.

Ono immediately walked over, pulled Chubby aside, and secretly handed him a few pieces of jerky.

Brother Xiong's shoulders shrugged happily, hid aside, and ate secretly.

After a while, the red cloth was opened again, and today's highlight is coming, which is "White Life and Death Love".

Han Yi has long said that his drama will definitely be performed in front of the emperor, and now he has finally fulfilled his promise.

Li Zhi has long wanted to watch it, and he is very looking forward to it, he has only heard of this drama, but he doesn't know what it is, and few of the ministers present have seen it, and even if they have seen it, they have not seen it all, at most they have watched it once or twice.

Although there is a Women's Day now, the people who go to the Women's Day are mainly young girls and young women, and these ministers' wives have basically never been there, nor have they watched dramas, so they are all looking forward to it.

Of course, the most anticipated is Wu Meiniang.

Now the main line of "White Life and Death Love" has not changed, that is, some love scenes have been added, and the focus is different, the original "White Life and Death Love" focused on the buying and selling marriage of the Shandong Shi clan, and now "White Life and Death Love" focuses on the love between the nobles and the Shu family, and the other is to change the Cui family to the Ye family.

But even so, some people still saw the blockage in their chests, especially Liu Zheng, who turned sideways and whispered in the ear of the eldest grandson Wuji: "Uncle Guo, look at it, what is this playing." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "This is just a drama, and it's not real, don't worry." ”

Liu Zheng said eagerly: "Taiwei, you don't know, I heard my sister say that it was Wu Zhaoyi who proposed to let Fengfeilou send someone to the Wannian Palace to perform a drama, this is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!" ”

Chu Suiliang's eyes swept into the main hall and said: "Brother Fuji, who dares to guarantee that others will not think crankily because of this drama, for a long time, the status of the Middle Palace in the court will probably be shaken." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji had already understood in his heart that Wu Zhaoyi just wanted to test everyone's reaction with this drama, looked at Liu Zheng, and saw that he looked uneasy, there is a way that a mother is expensive by virtue of a son, and he can be a book order, most likely because of the relationship between the queen and the queen, and now that the queen is out of favor, he must be in a high position, but he still expects to win steadily, and he did not talk about it again, and continued to watch it indifferently.
