Chapter 202 Accident

The little eunuch walked into the dressing room of Tianyin Pavilion with a tray. He put the tray on the table on the side and said, "Gonggong Li instructed the little one to bring hot tea to you and moisten your throat." ”

As he spoke, he spread out the teacups one by one, and then poured the tea into the teacups. The actors gathered around when they saw that there was hot tea to drink, one person took a cup, Jingxian took a cup herself, and Qiao Ying, who took another cup and handed it to the side, said: "Qiao Ying, you also drink a cup of hot tea, you will have a lot of lines later." ”

Qiao Ying took it, smiled faintly, and said thank you.

Everyone drank the tea, only to feel a warmth rising from the stomach, very comfortable, Ah Xing thanked the little eunuch.

It was already dark, and the snow around it reflected the light, making Tianyin Pavilion a little brighter than other places. The actors are all ready, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

I don't know how long it took, everyone heard a rush of footsteps, neatly aligned, and couldn't help but show a look of attention and listen attentively. Then the little eunuch of Tianyin Pavilion ran in and told everyone: "The emperor is here." Don't go and pick up the car yet! ”

When the actors woke up from a dream, they all stood up one after another, with nervous expressions on their faces. Ah Xing reminded everyone: "Don't panic, check each other again to see if you are dressed neatly." ”

After passing the inspection for a short time, everyone was mentally prepared, took a deep breath, and then followed the little eunuch to the stage.

Go up to the second floor of the stage, "Lutai", and the lights on the stage are as bright as day. Ah Xing saw many Praetorian Guards wearing armor and holding spears standing neatly in every corner of Tianyin Pavilion, expressionless and unmoving, very imposing. The footsteps were probably made by these Janissaries.

The viewing platform on the opposite side of the stage was brightly lit, but there was no sign of the emperor.

Gonggong Li was already kneeling on the stage, and when he turned around and saw that they were still standing there stupidly, he shouted in a low voice: "Kneel down quickly, the emperor will be almost here." ”

Ah Xing and the others hurriedly knelt down and lowered their heads.

Outside the stage, the wind was cold and whining, accompanied by the sound of footsteps and laughter that became more and more obvious from far to near. The voice of the leader was the loudest: "Since the queen strongly recommends this theater, this theater should have some characteristics, I hope it will not disappoint me!" ”

The heads of the people were lowered, and everyone knew that the emperor was coming.

"I heard that this theater has opened five branches in the Tang Kingdom, and the business is very hot, and the repertoire is very different from what we used to see, which is very attractive. I want the emperor to listen to something fresh. "The gentle and dignified female voice wants to be the queen.

The emperor laughed, obviously in a very good mood: "Why do I think that the queen recommended it to me because she wanted to see it?" ”

The queen's voice was full of smiles: "The concubine's intentions have been seen through by the emperor, and the concubine thanks the emperor for his fulfillment." ”

Along with their voices, there were many women's laughter, and Ah Xing guessed that they were the emperor's concubines.

The Emperor sat down directly across from the stage, surrounded by the Empress and his concubines, and flanked by the Crown Prince and the Princes and Princesses. The minister and his family sat on either side of the building.

After Gonggong Li waited for the emperor to sit down, he took all the actors to kowtow to the emperor and ask for peace. After the emperor said that he was exempted, everyone stood up. After kneeling for so long, Ah Xing only felt that her knees hurt slightly, and she didn't dare to rub them with her hands, she was so sad that she couldn't get any better than others.

Ah Xing secretly raised her eyes, she really wanted to see what the emperor was like. When I saw it, I realized that the emperor was a sixty-year-old man, and the empress was almost forty or fifty years old. Even the prince is also the age of an uncle. Ah Xing remembered that the emperor and the prince in the crossing were all young and promising beautiful men, and she almost couldn't help laughing.

The emperor saw that the actors on the stage were dressed very casually, not like the heavy costumes and big flower faces painted on their faces as they had seen before, but they were a little interested, "It's interesting!" He smiled and said to the queen beside him.

Before the queen could speak, a prince next to her said, "Father, the play in the Song Theater is very exciting. You know it when you see it! ”

The emperor smiled and nodded, and his interest was even stronger, and he explained, "Let's start!" ”

Gonggong Li retreated with the actors, and after a while, the gongs and drums sounded, and the play began.

in the wing

The ministers sat in the front row, and the family members sat behind them, with a small table next to them, melon seeds and snacks on them, and a few fires lit. Even though it was a cold night, I didn't feel cold.

Zhang Xiang and King Jin still sat side by side and talked happily. Zhang Qingqiu was very happy to see this situation, but Shen Yuanfeng's expression on the side was even more condensed. He has been by her side since the dinner, but he has not spoken more than three sentences to her, and every time she starts with it.

Zhang Qingqiu turned his head to look at him, but saw that his eyes had been staring at a certain place, his eyes did not blink, and his face was gentle, Zhang Qingqiu subconsciously followed his gaze, but saw Ah Xing talking to someone in the background.

The observation building is built right around the stage, so they can see the backstage from this position.

Zhang Qingqiu has always been held in the palm of her hand, and the title of talent and appearance has always been with her, and now when everyone talks about talented women, they always mention A-Xing first, and she is indispensable when it comes to beauty, even the man she likes now can't get rid of her! She is Zhang Qingqiu, how can she endure this breath!

From small to large. What she fancies must be completely hers, and if she can't get it, she'd rather destroy it! Now she is not willing to destroy him, but she can destroy her! In this way, he will belong to her completely!

Destroying A-Xing is actually a very simple matter, it just depends on whether she is willing to do it. Now that she is in her way, no wonder she is ruthless!

The drama on the stage is gradually getting better, and the shortness of the parents among the common people is very novel to the nobles in the palace. The emperor watched it with relish, and from time to time he whispered to the queen beside him.

On the stage, a family making dumplings is being staged, Lin Hai plays the father, Rong Zheng plays the eldest brother, Jingxian plays the second sister, and Qiao Ying auditions the little sister. The three of them were talking about happy things while making dumplings, and suddenly, Qiao Ying's hand was paused, and the dumplings in her hands rolled down the corner of the table.

The people in front of and behind the stage were stunned, thinking that Qiao Ying had lost her hand. The other three people on the stage sweated nervously, almost forgetting the next lines, but fortunately, Jingxian bent down at this time to pick up the dumplings, put them on the table, and said: "Little sister, be careful, if it gets dirty, you won't have anything to eat later." "That's how the play is connected.

The front and back of the stage were all relieved. And the emperor thought that the play was like this, and they didn't care much.

Only Qiao Ying knows that she is suffering. Just now, she suddenly felt dizzy, her heart beat faster, and she was sweating profusely, so she couldn't hold the dumplings in her hand steadily. Now the situation is getting worse and worse, and the whole body seems to be uncomfortable, but I can't say what is uncomfortable. The faces of the three people in front of her dangled in front of her, and their voices seemed to float from far away, but she couldn't hear what was being said, her mind was messed up now, and she couldn't remember the lines completely.

Qiao Ying was secretly frightened in her heart, not knowing what was going on with her? But she knew. She is the main character, and if something happens to her, the play will be over, and everyone here, including herself, doesn't know what will happen to her! There are many people here who are very good to her, like Jingxian, like Lin Hai, she doesn't want them to suffer because of her!

She pinched her palms so hard that her palms were oozing blood, and she barely managed to gather a little attention.

When the others saw that her face was pale, but there was sweat in the ice and snow, they all knew that the situation was wrong. At this time, Jingxian finished speaking the lines, and the next should be Qiao Ying's lines, but Qiao Ying looked stunned, and couldn't pick it up for a long time, the scene was obviously cold, and everyone showed a look of attention. Ah Xing and the other actors were so anxious backstage that cold sweats broke out.

Seeing this situation, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Qingqiu's mouth, she turned her head and glanced at the maid behind her, who looked at her and nodded lightly. Zhang Qingqiu turned his head and continued to stare at Qiao Ying on the stage, thinking, it turned out that you drank it, you are unlucky!

The other three people on the stage looked at Qiao Ying with wide eyes, but they didn't dare to show a special look, Rong Zheng interjected a sentence at this time to pick up Qiao Ying's lines, Lin Hai and Jing Xian sang and mixed the scene together, and then Jing Xian took Qiao Ying's arm and got off the stage.

The four of them got off the stage, and the actors of the next scene came on stage to continue the performance. The three of them took Qiao Ying back to the dressing room, Ah Xing and Yigan immediately greeted her, Ah Xing looked at Qiao Ying's face like a white paper and was startled: "What's going on?" It was fine just now, what's going on? ”

Jingxian hugged Qiao Ying in her arms, and she was so anxious that tears were about to fall out: "We don't know, just a moment of hard work, Qiao Ying has become like this!" After speaking, she patted Qiao Ying's face and shouted, "Qiao Ying, Qiao Ying." What's wrong with you! ”

Ah Xing touched Qiaoying's forehead, it was not a fever, but her eyes were dull, her hands and feet hung weakly, and she knew that it was not normal at a glance. Ah Xing whispered in her ear, "Qiao Ying, do you hear me talking?" ”

Qiao Ying nodded slightly after a while, but she had already begun to gasp for breath with this simple action. Everyone can see that it is impossible for her to go on stage again like this! Lin Hai was so anxious: "What's going on?" What the hell is going on! After a while, his face gradually turned pale: "What now?" Qiao Ying can't go on stage, how will she continue to play the next play? ”

Jingxian still didn't give up, she hugged Qiao Ying and shook it, and shouted: "Qiao Ying, cheer yourself up, you are like this, what should we do?" This is the Imperial Palace, if you can still explain it to the guests in the theater, but we have swept the emperor's interest, how should we tell the emperor! ”

Although Qiao Ying wanted to cheer up, she couldn't lift any strength all over her body, and she was dizzy, not to mention going on stage now, it was impossible to stand up. She was also in a hurry, she didn't know what was going on with her! Is it a sudden illness? Is it still cured? Will it be like this in the future? Then he smiled bitterly, and said that after what he said, it is still a question whether he can pass the current level now!
