Chapter 42: Watching the Theater

Changyin Pavilion is next to the easternmost surname hall of the Forbidden Palace, it is the singing opera building in the palace, the seat is south and north, and the building is magnificent. In the former court, the theatrical performances were extremely prosperous, and the construction of the stage reached the peak of the peak, and when the Changyin Pavilion staged a large-scale drama, there were actors on the three floors, which could accommodate 1,000 people.

At this time, in the Changyin Pavilion, more than 1,000 people flipped from one side of the stage to the other, and the scene was more impactful than a blockbuster.

Changyin Pavilion pays attention to visual effects, and takes great pains to build the theater. Changyin Pavilion is a three-story heavy eaves, such a tall building, giving people a stronger visual impact. Not only is Changyin Pavilion tall and magnificent, but it also has a lot of internal mechanisms, using winches and rollers to lift the scenery and characters from the ground to the table, creating a dramatic effect of drilling out of the ground or water, or creating a realistic scene of the scenery and characters falling from the sky.

Nowadays, during the application of some new technologies, the effect of the stage is more shocking, but the virtual effect of digital technology is not as impactful as the realism created by this kind of artificiality.

Ye Zhao watched the play for the first time, and this was the feeling.

At this time, he sat on the opposite side of the Changyin Pavilion to watch the play, the reading is a two-storey building, it is the place where the emperor and the concubine watch the play, if there is a Spring Festival and longevity (Ye Zhaosheng said), the emperor and the queen will bring the ministers of the Privy Council to watch the play here.

At this time, Ye Zhao was flipping through the folds on the table, and among several folds, there was a foreign affairs fold, which was that the French invited China to participate in next year's Paris Exposition, and Ye Zhao had already discussed with the Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister of the State Council that he would politely refuse the invitation of the French, and China planned to hold the International Industrial Exposition in the year after that.

China's exposition will also send invitations to Western countries, but few countries will participate, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain may send missions, but it will definitely be from South Asia, Southeast Asia and other colonial products to participate in the exhibition.

The biggest possibility of this expo in China is that China and its subjects will play on their own behind closed doors.

Ye Zhao wanted to convince the Europeans that China's interests were in the East, and that they did not have much interest in the world beyond the Strait of Malacca, and that they had nothing to do with China whether they were sharing the spoils in Europe or fighting for hegemony.

In this way, even if China's policy in the East is more aggressive, the European powers, unless necessary, will not really tear their faces with China, and in the final analysis, if there are core interests in the world, no European power will regard East Asia and Southeast Asia as its core interests.

Flipping through the twists and turns, Ye Zhao remembered that he chatted with the palace yesterday, and he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, it was difficult to understand the culture of gods and ghosts, and he didn't understand the belief in the cultivation of the monks, and what kind of mentality the monk princess was, it was even more unknown.

Every time Ye Zhao interjected, it would have a cold effect, looking at Wei Yue Iori's expression of being embarrassed for herself and not knowing how to remedy it, Ye Zhao finally had to reluctantly leave.

At night, he severely punished the little girl Iori, and she became more and more bold, and she dared to laugh at herself.

"The emperor is really busy." The gentle and gentle voice, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, has an indescribable sense of oppression, ethereal and misty, and people never get tired of hearing it.

It was Lan Guiren who sat on the Minghuang throne with Ye Zhao, and today it was her birth, and the ten-day Changyin Pavilion drama was originally to congratulate her on her birthday, so Ye Zhao also invited her to sit on the throne with him.

Niu Colu's body was tired and didn't come to see the play. The queen mother, the imperial concubine Niangniang, the noble concubine Niangniang, etc., sat on both sides, and now the seven concubines are all there, which is rare and lively, and the concubines have their own seats, and the distance is very far, Ye Zhao and Lan Guiren can not hear them talking.

Yes, there was Ye Zhao's sentence: "Xingzhen, do you miss me?" ”

Lan Guiren pretended not to hear, his face was as charming as the moon, his apricot eyes were slightly narrowed, and he watched the martial arts scene upstairs.

Lan Guiren is dressed in a flowery palace dress, faintly revealing a graceful snow clavicle, covered with a layer of golden tulle, and the wide hem of the coat is rusted with purple patterns, which is even more graceful and beautiful, and the style of the concubine. She was in step with the times, and soon wore one of the dresses promoted by the royal family, a dress that blended the ancient charm of the Tang and Song dynasties, wrapped around her slender figure, and a pair of small golden shoes loomed under the skirt, which made people can't help but have the desire to conquer.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the multicolored gilt finger sleeves that rattled from time to time on her pink little hands, which always made Ye Zhao want to hold them in her hands and play with them. However, although there were two skin kisses, after Lan Guiren calmed down, he obviously deliberately distanced himself from Ye Zhao, and he always looked like the dignified appearance of the queen mother, which made Ye Zhao helpless.

But no matter what, Ye Zhao believes that now Lan Guiren will no longer make trouble with herself, the relationship between the two, she wants to indulge, and she doesn't want to see her as a lowly woman; After reflection, it is good to regret it; Or stick to your identity and don't want to be too close to yourself, no matter how you think about it, it's better than dealing with yourself with hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

Ye Zhaoping often sent some gifts to Cining Palace, Lan Guiren likes to watch dramas, and this ten-day drama is exactly what he likes.

Watching the play brought a stack of papers, Ye Zhao had already apologized to Lan Guiren, and now it is such a coincidence, there are a lot of political affairs that need to be dealt with, but it is not to snub Lan Guiren, it is too late to coax her.

"Xingzhen, if you have time in two days, I will go to Jiangnan to inspect, and you will also go back to Guangzhou to have a look?"

Lan Guidao: "My sister is not in good health these days, I want to stay in the palace to take care of her." ”

Ye Zhao's face was solemn and he bowed slightly.

Holding a letter and looking through it, groaning, Ye Zhao handed the letter to Lan Guiren again, and said, "You can help me take a look." ”

Lan Guiren glanced at Ye Zhao in surprise, but he also took the letter, it was a list of prime ministers and vice prime ministers of the Government Council, and after the name of each minister, there was a brief comment from Ye Zhao, commenting on his surname.

Obviously, it is a letter that must not be leaked, and it is estimated that it is also something that Ye Zhao wrote down on a whim and will destroy it afterwards.

Lan Guiren bowed slightly: "It's quite appropriate." ”

Ye Zhao said: "If Li Xiaocun leaves the position of first assistant, who do you think will be able to come up?" ”

Lan Guiren shook his head and said, "You must have an idea. ”

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "With Li Xiaocun's age and body, it's no problem to work for another five or six years, this is behind closed doors, and our family is gossiping in private, isn't it?" It doesn't matter, you just say it, there's nothing to do in politics or not. ”

As he spoke, he saw that he didn't pay attention to the left and right, so he took out a box of rouge from his arms, secretly stuffed it to Lan Guiren, and said: "I saw it outside, I bought it for you, it is not as exquisite as the special in our palace, but it looks very good." ”

Afraid of being seen, Lan Guiren hurriedly held it in his hand and said angrily: "You did it on purpose, right?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled and finally took care of himself.
