Such a big project as Ciqing Palace will definitely not be completed in a short period of time, and Jiang's body has not fully recovered, but his spirit has improved slightly. This play was arranged to be staged in Renshou Palace, her and Zhang's temporary residence.

Empress Dowager Zhang's recent mood can be said to be extremely bad, first her place of residence is too hot, and she can only temporarily move to Renshou Palace to live, and when she is close to the Jiang family, her mood has become worse. Moreover, it is Zhang Hua, who has been with her for many years, who was killed with a rod for no reason, and there are no cronies and eunuchs around her. From the queen mother who once held a lot of power, to a clawless crab, even the palace people who served around her did not listen to it, and her mood could be better.

Although there is still no shortage of food and clothing now, life is always like being in a hard prison, and those eunuchs and palace maids are also stupid people who don't know where to pick them from. She either didn't understand what she said, or she misunderstood, and she made a big fuss several times, wanting to establish rules, but she didn't even have the manpower to carry out the punishment. Empress Dowager Zhang knew in her heart that this was most likely deliberately arranged by the Son of Heaven, and she wanted to be angry with her, the Queen Mother, to be satisfied.

She was not interested in watching this drama, but the Son of Heaven invited her again and again, and she couldn't push away this face. Moreover, the place for acting is chosen in Renshou Palace, even if she doesn't go, those gongs and drums can also reach her. If you sing a big drama here, and you don't go out of the door on your side, you will lose face even more.

Qiang came to the main hall with high spirits, and the Jiang family, Jiajing and the two princesses, all waiting there. Seeing her coming, several juniors came over to salute politely, as if they really treated her as a queen mother, but as soon as they saw Yongchun, Empress Dowager Zhang's heart remembered the talented Zhang Wenfeng of the Zhang family and her nephew Zhang Sizong.

After Zhang Wenfeng was taken, she tried to rescue her, but the attitude of the Dongchang side was tough, and the people she sent were closed. In a fit of anger, she also told the Jiang family about Yongshou's side, even if this kind of news can't kill people, as long as she sees Jiang's self-esteem, she can breathe a sigh of relief.

But looking at the closeness of the family today, the news that I have revealed has not played the expected role, is it because they are sloppy, or is the Jiang family actually supporting their daughter and the surname Yang Sitong?

She had a thought in her heart, and on the surface she was still polite, and she was talking to a few people without a match. In addition to the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was invited by Jiajing to listen to the play, there was also the eldest princess Yongkang, and several other princesses in the Beijing division were also invited to attend the audit.

Tea and melons set up a table, the scene, it was very much like a family party, and several princesses came over to greet Jiang and surprise her. Empress Dowager Zhang also politely expressed a few words of condolences, and Jiang replied with a smile, everything is just like before the fire, the relationship between the two is harmonious and does not invade each other.

But those princesses are all members of the royal family, and they can still feel that between the two queen mothers, under the surface politeness, there is an invisible barrier, isolating the relationship between the two sides, and the distance is getting farther and farther away.

Yongshou handed over the record book, "Our Lady, Auntie, this is the play to be performed today, please take a look." ”

Princess Yongkang looked at it twice and sneered, "Huh? I thought it was a southern opera, it turned out to be a Peking opera, but I haven't heard of this in this palace, I don't know if it's easy to understand or not. Also, how can this actor write Yang Chengzu? It's a familiar name. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang snorted, "This is not familiar, it is our Grand Governor at all." How can you mix with Youling, and you are not afraid of losing your identity? This Peking Opera, the mourning family has heard of it, and it is still the name of the Long Live Award. However, isn't this something to be sung among the people, the Imperial Palace, it is appropriate to sing this? ”

Jiajing smiled and saluted Empress Dowager Zhang, "Holy Mother, I think it's very suitable." I am the lord of the people, and I should rejoice with the people, and I should try to like what the people like. Only by rejoicing and rejoicing with the people can we empathize with the feelings of the people and not go against what the people think. Moreover, this Peking Opera, when I was in Anlu, I heard it, it was very easy to understand, and the story was also very good, Our Lady could listen to it and then reason. Today's drama is newly choreographed, which is very appropriate for the occasion. ”

Jiang's voice was not as hoarse as that day, but it was still low, and his breath was insufficient, "This play, the mourning family thinks it is good, as for Chengzu, this Peking Opera was originally studied by him." In the Ming Dynasty, with his best skills, acting for Long Live naturally wanted to use the best. Besides, Chengzu said that it is his duty for a courtier to please the king, and he does his duty without being ashamed. The mourning family is like a mother and son with him, and it is reasonable to act for his mother. ”

With her to speak, it is difficult for others to say anything, after all, today's big drama, nominally, is to celebrate the Jiang family's escape from danger, and this face is always to be given. It didn't take long for some ladies from the noble mansion to come, and they were also invited by Jiajing to cheer for fun.

These people are all noble women who are retired with the country, most of them are fifty or sixty years old, they are all old and sophisticated masters, and they also know what to say and what not to say, and the scene is very lively. Everyone happily talked nonsense, making sure that they were not cold and did not make trouble.

This Liu family is an alternative, she is young, and she is dressed as a three-grade life wife, which is very eye-catching in the crowd. Zhang looked at her, and when a princess told her about Liu's identity, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled

"Oh, it turns out that you are Yang Dudu's mother. Judging by your age, it's probably not biological, right? Stepmother? …… Was it his father's concubine? This Ming Dynasty's edict can already be given to concubines casually? No wonder people say that now the court's rewards are overflowing, and Yang Dudu is said to be a dry city of the national dynasty, and the favored minister of the Son of Heaven is indeed worthy of its reputation. If you change a person, you definitely don't have the ability to give your father's concubine a seal back. Liu, this son of yours is very filial, you should feel happy. ”

The Liu family was already weak, and when he saw the queen mother, he was even more afraid, and he was scolded by the Zhang family, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, lowered his head, and didn't say a word. Jiang Shi took over the words, "Chengzu is very filial to his mother, but this edict is not for him." When she was in Anlu, Mrs. Liu talked with the mourning family, and her edict was also begged from the mourning family to ask for it. Mrs. Liu, it's okay, sit next to the mourning family and watch the play with the mourning family. ”

Princess Yongkang was afraid that the two queen mothers would quarrel, so she hurriedly made peace in the middle, and several other princesses and the wives also hurriedly diverted the topic, and the wife of the Duke of Dingguo looked at the script and whispered:

"I am at home, and I have also heard this Peking Opera, which is really good, very good. Most of the governors are singing, but it's the first time I've seen them, I don't know what the means are, let's see what today's drama is...... The Heavenly Maiden scatters flowers, what kind of drama is this, I haven't heard of it. This is called a hat play, and it is for everyone to calm down, and the real big axis is the back...... Tanuki for prince? This is so good, why did you pick such a play? ”

Princess Yongkang and other princesses didn't care about it at first when they saw the name of this play, but then they woke up and peeked at Empress Dowager Zhang. Empress Dowager Zhang had already closed the script heavily on the table, her face was already angry, and she got up and wanted to leave.

But seeing Jiajing and the two princesses talking and laughing in front of the Jiang family, they sat down again, staring at the stage tightly, their mouths tightly closed, and the green tendons on their foreheads jumped unconsciously. The energy of the volcano has been accumulated, and it is only necessary for an opportunity to attack.

Several princesses at the table looked at each other, with bitter expressions on their faces, and they all knew that they might be involved in something big this time, just begging not to be ashamed.
