Chapter 253 A good show

Wen Moyan froze in place, because she saw Feng Yuli was wearing eunuch's clothes.

Seeing Wen Moyan not moving, Shuang Feichen asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Wen Moyan whispered to Feng Yuli, "Look, my lord, Feng Yuli, why is he dressed like that?"

Shuang Feichen followed Wen Moyan's gaze and saw Feng Yuli greeting him with a smile on his face.

Shuang Feichen frowned and said: "He is a strange person. But he is not a person with evil intentions. This king asked Qing Lan to ask, you don't have to pay attention."

Shuang Feichen had just finished speaking, and before he could give orders, Feng Yuli had disappeared over there.

Shuang Feichen sighed, and then comforted him: "It's okay, just let him go."

As soon as Shuang Feichen finished speaking, the Empress Empress said, "Your Majesty, it's ready, shall we let the troupe begin?"

Troupe?
It turns out that today is still at the chrysanthemum feast, preparing for a singing performance.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said, "Okay, let's start the gong!"

Eunuch Chen on the side quickly ordered the theater troupe to enter the arena.

Seeing Wen Moyan looking around curiously, Shuang Feichen explained from the side: "Every year at the Chrysanthemum Banquet, there will be an auspicious troupe to sing operas, usually some festive plays. It is lively and lively, and everyone is happy to watch. I don't know What will this year be."

Wen Moyan looked at Emperor Xuanwu, then shook his head and sighed: "No matter what it is, I'm afraid His Majesty is already absent-minded, just look at how attentive he is."

Shuang Feichen followed Wen Moyan's gaze, and saw Emperor Xuanwu picking up vegetables for Tuobayu.

This is a high-ranking emperor, when did he serve others?
Shuang Feichen couldn't help frowning, because he found that Emperor Xuanwu's liking for Tuobayu seemed to exceed his imagination.

But after thinking about it, the more Emperor Xuanwu liked Tuobayu, the more effectively the anxious relationship between Eastern Zhou and Beiyan could be alleviated.

It's not a bad thing.

Shuang Feichen picked up the jug, filled Wen Moyan's teacup, and said in a low voice, "Naturally, you will take care of the person you like in every possible way, and be considerate in everything. Even an emperor can't be exempt."

Wen Moyan looked up at Shuang Feichen, and suddenly bumped into his tender eyes.

Wen Moyan lowered her head in panic, but her heart beat uncontrollably faster, because she understood and understood Shuang Feichen's intentions.

dong dong dong-

A burst of rapid drumming broke the charming atmosphere between the husband and wife.

The people on the stage have already started singing.

The babbling sounds nice, but Wen Moyan can't understand it.

Just when she wanted to ask, the Empress Empress on the high seat couldn't help but ask first: "Hey, which song is this from?"

Seeing this, Eunuch Chen quickly asked the people around him, and then responded: "Go back to your mother, they said this is a new play, called Peach Blossom Cuo."

Emperor Xuanwu was also attracted, and continued to ask: "Oh? New drama, this is something to watch carefully."

Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanwu looked at Tuobayu who was drinking by himself, and said with a smile: "The wine is delicious, so don't be greedy."

Tuobayu was slightly startled, then squeezed out a smile and said perfunctorily: "Your Majesty's words are very true, that Yu'er will accompany His Majesty to listen to the opera."

Emperor Xuanwu smiled, and the hand that was on the table also moved under the table, grabbing Tuobayu's little hand.

Tuobayu's body froze slightly, but he didn't struggle.

Seeing the interaction between them, Wen Moyan could do nothing but sigh.

This is life!
"I'm wronged——" A singing voice came from the stage, attracting everyone's attention again.

Under Shuang Feichen's interpretation, Wen Moyan finally understood what the play meant.

Probably there is a rich family, the eldest wife is gentle and kind, the second wife is beautiful and jealous, the third wife is indifferent to the world, and the fourth wife is simple and dull.

Then the second lady confronted the eldest lady everywhere, and did not want to replace her all the time.

Then the second lady learned that the eldest lady could not eat things made of peach blossoms, so she found some peach blossoms and cut off a small opening on the edge of the petals. From this point of view, the peach blossoms looked like cherry blossoms.

However, the second lady asked the fourth lady to send the "Sakura" sweet soup to the eldest lady.

Although the fourth madam is dull, she can tell at a glance that the cherry blossoms are fake, that the peach blossoms are forged.

She didn't want to kill the eldest lady, so she secretly replaced it with real cherry blossoms.

But she never expected that after the eldest lady drank the cherry blossom sweet soup made by the fourth lady, she suddenly fell ill and died suddenly.

It turned out that it was never peach blossoms that would make the eldest lady sick, but cherry blossoms all the time. It was designed by the second lady to make the fourth lady mistakenly think that it was peach blossoms that the eldest lady could not eat.

Such a double-edged sword not only got rid of the eldest lady, but also made the master detest the poisoned fourth lady.

The second wife ascended to the sky in one step and became the head of the house.

The fourth wife was expelled from the house, leaving behind her infant son, who could only be entrusted to the third wife to raise.

The poor lady died without knowing why, but the master helped the murderer to her place.

……

This play really became more outrageous as it was sung, and the more civil and military officials listened, the more nervous they became.

The emperor and empress on the high seat looked more and more, and their faces became darker.

The empress couldn't bear it anymore, and she scolded angrily: "You bastard, insinuating, who are you scolding?!"

The sound of ancient music came to an abrupt end.

Everyone on the stage knelt down one after another, and hurriedly said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down, and your empress, please calm down."

Emperor Xuanwu looked at the queen with a cold face, and asked with a frown, "Why is the queen angry? It's just a show."

The queen took a deep breath for a long time before suppressing her anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The concubine is not feeling well. I will go to the palace to rest first."

Emperor Xuanwu did not agree, but looked at the stage, and asked, "When did you make up the promise of your singing?"

The head of the theater troupe came out from the backstage, knelt in front of the emperor and the empress, and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, please calm down, and the queen's empress, please calm down. This mistake was passed down from the theater troupe in the south, and it was sung in the capital." It’s been a month or two, and it’s quite popular. I’ve sung the previous repertoire many times, and Cao Min worried that His Majesty and the Empress would get tired of watching it, so they chose a new one.”

It turned out that it had been a month or two, so it probably wasn't someone with intentions deliberately insinuating, pointing fingers and scolding Huai.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said: "There is no need to sing, let's dance and dance."

The class leader hurriedly led everyone away as if he was about to receive an amnesty, and then the dancer girl entered the stage and began to dance.

Wen Moyan on the side was puzzled, and she asked suspiciously: "My lord, why is the empress so angry? Your Majesty's face is not good either."

Shuang Feichen frowned, and said, "The scene just now seems to be an allusion to the conflict between the former empress and the empress. I also have a half-knowledge of the former empress's death. But how do you feel about singing such a play today?" It doesn't look like a coincidence."
