Chapter 90: Young Master Xiangyu (1)
Seeing at the table on the right, Chen Zishan was talking happily with Yun Xinrou and A Sa, Yu Shangliang and Zhuge Qingyan were smiling brightly.It made him very upset, and he drank the wine in the glass, feeling bland and tasteless.Once upon a time, in the small building covered with flowers in Mingyue Villa, apart from Li Jue, Chen Zishan only talked to him and smiled at him.Now, she doesn't even bother to look at him... She knows his difficulties.

On the table on the left, Li Jue drank alone and remained silent, with the expression on his face that strangers should not approach him. Long Linhai and his wife were also preoccupied and kept silent.Chen Yibin sensed that something was wrong, but recalled that Li Jue used to be humble and even spoiled him in everything. He thought that Li Jue had severely injured four of his cronies with spells during today's Hundred Flowers Club, and his anger had dissipated. With Chen Zishan as his concubine and Li Jue as his brother, he should be very happy!As for Long Linhai and his wife, he didn't bother to figure it out.The land of Longjian Villa has geothermal heat. After it was discovered by Li Haoyu, it was excavated and developed, and it attracted the prying eyes of various aristocratic families. This time he soaked in the hot springs several times, which strengthened his heart to take it back.If everything goes according to his plan, a few years later, this place will become a winter palace for him and his concubines.

After a while, first the officials stepped forward to toast, and then the prostitutes and talented daughters of various families, dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiling and holding wine glasses, came together and toasted him and Su Chenyan in coquettish and shy voices. And congratulations to the newly canonized Concubine Dong, the fragrance of powder and wine mixed with the fragrance of meat and wine made him think for a moment that this was in the palace, and later on besides Concubine Dong, he could order several beauties of different shapes to sleep together...

Suddenly, the night wind blew, and Chen Yibin shivered. He knew better than anyone how much danger was hidden in this noisy and festive Shangyuan night. His long eyes glanced vigilantly at Su Chenyan and every beauties who came to toast, It seems that they want to see the bottom of their hearts and see through their souls.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The gongs and drums sounded in unison, crowds of people moved under the theater screen, thousands of flower petals fell from the sky, and fell among the seats of the crowd. Big red lanterns, brightly lit candles, beaming with joy, a man with a voice like a bell, behind the white curtain on the field, loudly sang, "The Mingyue Shadow Puppet Troupe wish the emperor, queen, concubine and all the lords, ladies, heroes and friends Happy Lantern Festival, here is a special presentation of the shadow puppet drama "The Fool Emperor" adapted from the true story of the Yueguo Palace."

During the performance, the artists manipulate the opera characters behind the white curtain and sing stories in popular tunes. Accompanied by percussion instruments and string music at the same time, it has a strong local flavor and is one of the most popular puppet plays among the people.

The Mingyue Shadow Puppet Troupe performs, the opening ceremony is romantic and luxurious, and the red lanterns are festive and auspicious. The ruler is made lifelike, so it can be famous all over the world and is deeply loved by royal families and nobles from all over the world.

The music of the string ensemble sounded in unison, and behind the white curtain flashed the half-foot-tall shadow puppets of the emperor and the empress, accompanied by the "bang! bang! bang!" firecrackers created by the actor's ventriloquism, and the magnetic force of men floated in the air. voice of explanation.

"It is said that more than twenty years ago, the emperor of the Yue Kingdom welcomed a prince in his old age, and named him Yue Yiye. Who would have thought that this prince would not cry or make troubles when he was born. It was very strange. He could not speak until he was eight years old. The sky is in a daze, and has become the laughing stock of the royal family of the Moon Kingdom."

Everyone was attracted by the shadow puppetry on the stage, but they found that the sky above their heads was covered with dark clouds, the stars were dark, and thunder and lightning gathered.

A shadow puppet dressed as a two-foot-tall little prince flashed behind the white curtain, the music changed to excited drumming, and the man's voice suddenly increased, "Suddenly one day, thunder and lightning fell from the sky, and a loud bang struck on the top of his head. After waking up, it's like a different person, able to talk and laugh, extremely powerful, possessing magical spells, and can call wind and rain."

The sound of the pipa and the zither are integrated, and the music tune is festive. The narrator's voice is long and full of admiration. Mr. Xiangyu, ranked second among the four great princes in the world. At the age of 16, with the help of his sister, Princess Yue Yishuang, the first Shu of the three kingdoms in the world, he ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Moon Kingdom."

Just when everyone thought that the show was about to end, several suonas played behind the scenes, and the music style became playful. The male commentator said slowly: "Yue Yiye's third year of enthronement, at the age of nineteen, on the wedding night, He originally wanted to have sex with the Queen of the Moon Kingdom, but he didn't understand the relationship between men and women, so he kicked the naked Queen of the Moon Kingdom who took the initiative to flirt with her off the dragon bed, breaking four of the Queen's ribs. In a fit of anger, he burned the dragon bed and sealed the harem. Since then, the reputation of the "fool emperor" has spread all over the world."

The audience in the audience had heard about this absurd thing for a long time, but when they saw the shadow puppet of the emperor kicking away the shadow puppet of the queen on the white screen, they laughed loudly, "Hahaha!"

Someone patted the table and said happily: "Young Master Xiangyu's rain and dew have selflessly watered the deserts of the Moon Kingdom, how can there be rain and dew to irrigate the harem!"

"Hahaha! The Moon Emperor is such a wonderful person. He has brought happiness to millions of people in the Moon Kingdom, and suffered for himself and those women who admire him."

"I heard that the queen who was kicked and seriously injured is a princess of Fengguo, she looks very charming, hehe, it's a pity to marry such a foolish emperor who doesn't understand style."

"Hehe, this means that Mr. Mingyue of my family has the courage to act in this shadow play with great fanfare."

"Yes. I heard that Mr. Mingyue and Mr. Xiangyu have a very close relationship."

"Young Master Mingyue and Young Master Xiangyu admire each other."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the commentator said in a regretful voice: "It is said that Yue Yiye, son of Xiangyu, has a very masculine physique and a very handsome appearance. Beating the queen angrily, sealing the harem again, and being scolded by women all over the world as an incomprehensible fool, his reputation has also dropped from the second place to the fourth among the four great princes in the world. Readers, do you want to see Yue Yiye? portrait?"

The four princes in the world are equivalent to the superstars of the emperor.Although Li Jue was present and everyone had witnessed his peerless demeanor, his handsomeness was similar to that of a fairy, so they could only look up at him from afar.
