Chapter 196: Listening to the play
In May, it rains during the plum season, and the ice plate at the bottom of the fan is windy.
Today, the listening drama for the visitors from Jiangnan is finally lively.
Just after the morning, the glazed corner of the imperial palace is still hung with the crimson sunset, the mirror Mingqin Pavilion is opened, the stage brocade tent colored cloth red velvet carpet is new, each string of Gao Hu has been smeared with enough pine oil, the servants have painted a new red and white face, nervously and excitedly presented the excerpts to the front of the golden silk nanmu case.
Under the stage, the white jade platform, a slip of the golden silk nanmu case, the green feather barrier delicacies and wine, up to the current saints down to the ministers and women, sitting full, the imperial palace has not listened to the play for a long time, it is rare to open once, and the walls are crowded with heads to watch the excitement.
"No matter how big or small, no matter how humble or humble it is, all guests will enjoy it! It is also because the head of the family has this Yaxing, Xipi Flowing Water is only a trouble, there is no need to scruple about me, the cloud gong is louder, and the good skills are used! ”
Zhao Yin's face was red, his voice was like thunder, he raised his glass to invite everyone to drink, and his hearty laughter stirred the sunset.
So the mirror Mingqin Pavilion is brilliantly lit, the babbling and singing is the Huangmei opera, and the royal ditch is shaking the Jiangnan tune, until the sky branches and shadows are oblique in the middle of the moon, and the cloud gong and high Hu still resound through the six palaces.
It is rare for the imperial palace to sing excerpts. Zhao Yin was still full of interest when he heard it, from "On the Rooftop" to "The Story of the White Fan", followed by the decent beating, smiled and said with Liu Hui, who was used to listening to the elegant tone of the Hu dialect, and changed the excerpt play, which was also interesting.
"Your Majesty likes it. Let the palace sing more in the future, maybe it will be beneficial to His Majesty's dragon body. Liu Hui covered her lips and smiled, "How is Your Majesty feeling recently?" ”
"It's still Old Man Sun's recipe that works. The gang of people in the Tai Doctor Department raised them for nothing, and they didn't work just for food. Zhao Yin laughed, and the pale sickness on his face also regained a little blood.
After a pause, Zhao Yin glanced at Zhao Xixing, who was listening seriously on his right hand, the face of the man in his early twenties was quiet, beautiful and beautiful, but it was as beautiful as a jade statue, which made his Zhao Yin's loud laughter particularly vulgar.
Zhao Yin stopped laughing suddenly, and a displeasure rose between his eyebrows: "East Palace, isn't the play good?" ”
"Sounds good." Zhao Xixing bowed slightly.
"Then you have such a straight face, I don't know, I still think I am singing "Meng Jiangnu"!" Zhao Yin twisted his eyebrows and added, "...... Follow you Lao Tzu to listen to the play, I'm afraid that I still miss the girl, unfilial son! Didn't I let her attend! There, you can't lose it! ”
Zhao Xixing, who was pouring tea, trembled his fingertips, and the tea spilled two drops, he controlled the head he wanted to look at, and his face tried his best to suppress it indifferently: "Father forgives Hua Er, and the son is grateful on her behalf." ”
Zhao Yin glanced at the tea that had been spilled, and his displeasure became stronger: "I feel that I haven't been able to make a good profit, so let Er continue to supervise the country!" Hmph, let Er know that it is not easy to govern the country, so you don't have to work against you all day long! ”
Zhao Xi knelt down in an orderly manner, thanked him, and when his head hit the jade brick floor, he secretly glanced back, but he really couldn't help it, and wanted to take a look at his sweetheart sitting in the pile of palace maids.
But he was stunned. The familiar silhouette is nowhere to be seen.
"Thank you for your father's grace. May my father take care of the dragon's body, and the ministers will live up to their high expectations and aim for the people's livelihood. ”
Zhao Xixing quickly retracted his gaze, and the moment he got up after the salute, his fingertips clenched tightly in the palace robe.
He knew where she had gone.
What he feared most happened anyway.
And the culprit who slipped away from the listening seat was at the door of the warm pavilion at the moment, and the hand that pushed the door stretched out and retracted.
"Why didn't the second girl go in? The decanting soup was prepared in the cabinet, and the girl woke up early, and had to go back to the table. The door was pushed open from the inside, and a chamberlain just came out, and saw the woman laughing, "It is a great grace to be able to get the grace of the Holy Will, and listen to the play at the same table!" Don't delay here, girl! ”
The warm pavilion is prepared in advance to sober up the attendees. After all, a palace banquet, let alone one or two hours, if the amount of wine is not good, it will lose its head in front of the Son of Heaven.
Cheng Yingyu suppressed her heart, which was beating hard, and responded: "The people just saw it...... The head of the house also came to warm the pavilion? ”
The waiter raised the jade bowl in his hand, which was already empty: "It's not!" The wine in Guanzhong is strong, and the guests who want to come to Jiangnan can't get used to it, so a few cups will be served, and the minions have just served the sobering soup, and the head of the house has drunk the whole bowl! ”
Cheng Yingyu nodded, and asked the waiter to get busy, and he froze at the door of the warm pavilion alone, his heart pounding.
She saw the person leave the table at the table, it is estimated that he was sobering up, and he came with him, the warm pavilion is only for the purpose of sobering up, and compared with the lively Mingqin Pavilion with a lively mirror, it is a quiet small building, and the palace is sparsely populated.
When the evening breeze blows, the sound of pomegranate flowers falling can smash people's hearts.
She just wanted to see him, ask him, just the two of them, talk about old things, or don't say anything, just stay together for a while, time is lost in his pale green pupils.
