It snowed for a day and a night, and everything in heaven and earth was buried in snow.

Until the palace lamp is weak, in an instant, it is dawn again.

Early in the morning, the red lanterns are hung high and lined up from the city gate to the court, and the colors are so festive.

Today, hundreds of civil and military officials are dressed in gorgeous costumes, and envoys from various countries have also come from afar to celebrate the birthday of the lord of Jiangnan.

Teaching Workshop, Pingle Pavilion.

Liu Ruyan pushed open the door, and bumped into Shen Yanchu who was waiting at the door, looking at the posture, as if waiting for a rabbit.

She remained silent, turned and walked away.

Unexpectedly, the person on the other side seemed to be relying on her, unhurried, and followed her.

Her eyelids jumped slightly, remembering that he had just lost his memory, and he was inexplicably entangled with her.

No matter how you look at this situation, it is a little familiar.

Liu Ruyan stopped suddenly.

The people behind followed suit.

She immediately turned around and asked angrily, "What are you doing with me?" ”

Shen Yanchu stood with his hands in his hands, squinting at her, a noble person who was not like an ordinary person, he said seriously: "Last night, you poured out your heartfelt heart and expressed your admiration, are you planning to abandon it now?" ”

Liu Ruyan was shocked by his cheekiness, as if he really responded to an ancient saying.

- The fierce woman is afraid of pestering her.

However, she confided in her heart, but she never thought that one day, she would be with him.

She has a bad fate, how dare she ask for extravagance.

"That's it, it's a big deal, I'll go to the toilet and you'll follow." She was helpless.

Shen Yanchu looked at the end, and sure enough, it was a latrine.

"You go." The tips of his ears flushed red.

Noon.

The birthday banquet was held, and countless delicacies were presented to the feast.

In the felt-paved hall, the servants danced and played music.

The lord of the country has been in the top position for a long time, and after seeing more of these scenes, he is holding on to the cup with great interest, and sighs that the arrangement of the teaching workshop is like this year after year, and he has not grown by half a point.

During the banquet, an official saw the thoughts of the lord, and he glanced at the eunuch.

The eunuch circulated: "Dali Guoyanshi, come to perform——"

The lord of the country was a little interested.

The officials also looked out of the hall.

But seeing a few men and women dressed in alien costumes, they slowly walked into the hall.

Led by Liu Ruyan and Shen Yanchu, they saluted the lord Li Chongguang.

After the ceremony, Liu Ruyan stood with her head held high.

She saw that there was a monk on the left of the lord of the country, and a Taoist priest on the right, and she still knew that Taoist priest.

It is the magic stick of the wine gourd that does not leave the body day and night, Ming Juezi.

Since Liu Ruyan and his party entered the hall, the eyes of the lord of the country have never left.

Especially the two leaders, with white embroidered gold thread and a white feather coat, almost blended with the peacock perched on their shoulders.

The male finch has a long neck, the tail feather hangs down, and the roots are distinctly hairy, and the white one is flawless.

Females have shorter tail feathers and a light body.

Shen Yanchu faced the lord of the country, and after he finished his congratulatory speech, the peacock fluttered its wings and flew down: "On the occasion of my birthday, I would like to offer two gifts, and I hope that the lord of the country will smile." ”

The female finch on Liu Ruyan's shoulder also flew down.

Two peacocks, one female and one male, swept to the feet of the lord of the country.

The lord of the country looked at the king of birds, and found that these two little things did not recognize life, and their pale red eyes were curious and watching, quite spiritual.

In just a few moments, the venue for the puppet show has been set up.

In a small two-story building, the Yanshi hid behind a curtain on the roof, and from a distance, the puppets seemed to come to life.

Today's play is "Wangfu Cloud":

Legend has it that before the founding of Dali, there was a princess of Nanzhao, named A Feng.

She met a young hunter at a Bai extravaganza, and the two fell in love at first sight. With the help of the god Cangshan, the hunter married Ah Feng.

After Ah Feng disappeared, King Nanzhao couldn't find him, and he learned from the monk that Ah Feng lived in Cangshan with the hunters.

In order to force Ah Feng to return to the palace, the monk blocked Cangshan with a blizzard.

In the ice and snow, the hunter braved the wind and snow, sneaked into Luoquan Temple, and stole the Seven Treasure robes that were warm in winter and cool in summer, wanting to protect his wife from the cold. The hunter took the robe through the Erhai Lake, and suddenly, the chasing monk drove into the bottom of the sea and turned into a stone mule.

When Ah Feng heard the bad news, he died of grief, and his essence turned into a white cloud.

At this time, the wind blew fiercely, set off huge waves, blew open the water of Erhai Lake, and finally the stone mule appeared at the bottom of the sea, the wind subsided, and the clouds dispersed.

At the end of the performance, several palace maids clinged to one end of the blue veil, like the turbulent Erhai Lake, swept up by the wind, and the angry sea was monstrous.

The wind whistled incessantly, and a white mist rose over the sea, eventually condensing into a cloud.

The clouds floated overhead, and the officials looked at them rarely.

One after another, people got up, and some people touched it with their hands.

"It's really a cloud!"

The clouds rise and fall, just like Wangfu clouds looking down on the vast Erhai Lake, lingering for a long time.

When the storm calmed down, the clouds cleared, and out came a wonderful woman in alien costumes.

The woman looked like a real person transformed into a puppet princess, and she sat on her knees, holding the stone mule in her hand and playing softly.

The hundreds of officials below were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them, and wanted to come forward to take a look, but they were afraid of being offended.

But it doesn't prevent them from talking to each other:

"How can a puppet become a real person?"

"It's just a trick."

"In my opinion, it must be this Bai girl, dressed as Princess Afeng."

……

The lord of the country couldn't hold back his curiosity, and when the performance was over, he came to Ah Feng and looked at her in detail.

Regardless of body shape or appearance, the princess in front of her is like a real person, and her delicate skin can be broken.

It must have been a girl.

This scene pleased the lord of the country, and he gave a special seat and invited Ah Feng and the artists to sit together.

Clinker, Ah Feng just got up and saluted, and did not say thank you.

"The lord of the country-" A young man rushed out of the stage and explained to the lord of the country, "Miss Ah Feng can't speak because she is a puppet." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Even the lord of the country was stunned.

"Really?" He asked the teenager.

Gong Yuyu's attitude was sincere: "Don't dare to deceive the lord of the country, Ah Feng is indeed a puppet." ”

As he spoke, he lifted Ah Feng's sleeve and twisted the girl's wrist: "Please take a look, the lord of the country." ”

The lord of the kingdom prides himself on being well-informed, and when he sees a piece of log peeking out from under his wrist, he is not a little surprised.

He stroked his palm: "I can't think of a puppet show, which is eye-opening." ”

Gong Yuyu smiled: "This puppet is the second gift to the lord of the country." ”

The lord of the kingdom was overjoyed and gave him another seat.

In the evening, the feast will be dispersed.

The officials were slightly drunk, thinking that they would have to go home later, and they didn't dare to be greedy for a cup during the banquet.

Perhaps because of the end of the song, the noise outside the hall faintly entered the main hall.

Father-in-law Fang glanced at it, and went out to explore.

Separated by a curtain, it is freezing outside, and the scenery of the lake and pond is covered with ice and snow.

Today's banquet was set up in the hall in the middle of the lake, and Gonggong Fang stepped down the steps, and from a distance, he saw a few people standing in the middle of the ice lake, as if they were looking at something.

He squinted his eyes and saw what was on the surface of the lake, and immediately his expression changed dramatically, and he hurried back into the temple.
