Huang Chunquan is a "cloud covering the moon" voice, especially suitable for singing this desolate and agitated play, at this moment, the prelude skills, but also dare not have the slightest negligence, reminiscing about the past, narrating his life experience, and portraying the bleak situation of a hero's end of the road. The little flower face who pretended to be the shopkeeper naturally used all his energy, and only used harsh words, forcing Qin Shubao to be cornered.

After the singing of "Hotel" was finished, after a pause, the eunuch set the table and passed the meal, and then the emperor had time to talk to people.

The emperor asked Xingzhen, "What about the eldest brother?" Xingzhen replied: "The eldest brother refuses to come out in the concubine's bedroom, and the waterfront is cooler than this side of the same paradise." ”

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, the dinner began, and the emperor was alone in the middle of the large dining table around the golden dragon table, the queen sat at the first table in the east, the first table in the west was Concubine Li, the second table in the east was Concubine Zhen, and the second table in the west was Concubine Wen. The rest of the concubines, two people at a table, according to their ranks, canonized in order. On the east and west sides, take your seats in order. The eunuchs passed the meal, the palace maids played fans, and there were as many as two or three hundred people serving inside and outside the palace. But when he walked, there was no sound, and every word was heard clearly on the stage.

After dinner, a wine banquet was put on the table, Xingzhen looked at the new concubines who were very restrained, and smiled at the emperor: "It's all because the emperor wants to listen to the play with his sisters, but the sisters are courteous, and the emperor should punish himself with a cup." ”

The Emperor laughed and raised his golden glass. "What the queen said is that I will punish myself with a cup."

Xingzhen smiled at the new palace concubines such as the Lin nobleman Yehenala clan and others: "The emperor is happy today, the sisters salute the emperor one by one, first, to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and secondly, to let the emperor know the demeanor of the new sisters." ”

Lin Guiren and others obeyed the order, and toasted to the emperor in turn, Emperor Xianfeng looked at the delicate beauties of Chunlan and Qiuju, who were good at their own scenes, and they had already been dazzled, and the glass was dry, and they even chose a Han military flag with a delicate and lovely surname Lin and promised to serve by his side. The play outside is singing the "Dream" of "The Peony Pavilion", Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei have a tryst in a dream, Du Liniang is facing Liu Mengmei's flirtation half-pushing, watching the six palace concubines are all red-faced. Concubine Zhen closed her eyes and whispered, "Sin, sin!" It's just that when I don't close it for a long time, I have to look at it, and my eyes are still wide open.

"On the shore of the lake and mountains, on the shore of the lake and the mountains, the clouds are lingering and the rain is lingering. Outside the carved fence. Outside the carved fence, the red turns the green and the cui. provoke the bee sorrow butterfly love, the upper edge of the three-life stone. ”

Xingzhen watched for a moment that this later life was not a YD opera at all, and then looked at Emperor Xianfeng who was extremely happy and a little bored, so she got up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines will go to the Qinzheng Palace to take a look." ”

This means that Xingzhen is going to the Qinzheng Palace to approve the folding, the emperor nodded, looked at Du Liniang on the stage, and looked at Lin who was standing on the side and waiting, "Queen, go ahead, don't get too late, go back and rest early." ”

"Yes, the concubine retired." The concubine hurriedly stood up, sent off the queen, Xingzhen got off the theater, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the crescent moon was like a hook, obliquely hooked in the sky, the drum music behind the ears was noisy, Xingzhen did not sit in a sedan chair, and Xiao Anzi and his party bypassed the natural pictures, and arrived at the emperor's imperial study "Tongdaotang" of the Qinzheng Palace. ”

Xingzhen has always been generous to the palace people and does not bully others, and the eunuchs and palace maids are all unconvinced, Shuangxi replied: "It was the seventh master who entered the garden this morning and personally sent the congratulatory gift to the long-lived lord." ”

"Oh?" Xingzhen wrote the words "I know" on the top of a book, which was the matter of the Ministry of Rites about the Taimiao, and browsed it casually, and the nonsense was thrown aside, "How old is the seventh master this year?" ”

"The seventh master was born in the twentieth year of Daoguang, and now he is sixteen years old."

"It's almost time to find a suitable relative...... "Xingzhen thought thoughtfully.

Shuangxi stepped forward to make fun, "Then you still have to worry about your eldest sister-in-law, as long as the girl that Niangniang fancies, the emperor must not disagree." ”

"Just your mouth," Xingzhen blamed Shuangxi, and threw a golden naked child in her purse to Shuangxi, "This reward you," Shuangxi hurriedly thanked you, "But it can't be rewarded in vain," Xingzhen took a sip of tea, "Next time the seventh master enters the garden, be ready to tell me, how about it?" ”

"Gotcha, double happiness obeys!"

That night, Lin promised to sleep, and on the second day, he was promoted to Chang Zai, the title Yu Chang was always there, Yu Chang was serving for two days in a row, and even the first day of the Wanshou Festival was served by her, and for a while, the six palaces looked sideways, and even the most favored Concubine Li was a little tasteful, and said sourly in the upper and lower sky light of Xingzhen: "The surname is Lin, and the title is jade, it won't be a Lin Daiyu who will seduce people." The palace concubines who were waiting for the queen on the side all covered their mouths and snickered.
