Ouyang Zhi automatically ignored Emperor Hongzhi's words.

Emperor Hongzhi was angry for a while, but felt that it was meaningless, so he had to sit down, sipped his tea, and did not continue the unnecessary anger.

The next day is the birthday.

Emperor Hongzhi got up early, and immediately went to Renshou Palace. He went outside Renshou Palace cautiously. He first looked for the eunuch and asked, "Has the Empress Dowager woke up?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the empress is combing her hair."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, seeing the imperial doctor waiting outside the bedroom, he stepped forward, "How is your body?"

"It's much better. I think it's this big birthday, which brings happiness to the palace. Your empress is in a particularly good spirit today."

Emperor Hongzhi let out a long sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.

So he entered the sleeping hall, and saw the Empress Dowager trembling, pacing in the hall with someone's support, and saw Emperor Hongzhi coming: "Emperor, here we come."

Emperor Hongzhi bowed down: "Is grandma still in good health? Today is grandma's birthday. Sun Chen is here to pay homage to grandma. I wish you Songhe Changchun."

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and smiled: "It's really embarrassing for you. Come so early, all the officials are going to enter the palace, and the wives are supposed to come too. You are the emperor, the head of the family, and the head of the country. Sad Here at home, I will be accompanied by my wife when the time comes, so the emperor can go and do his own business."

Emperor Hongzhi kowtowed again: "Grandmother, old man, if you can feel more at ease, Sun Chen will be here, and it would be good to accompany you more."

"This is impossible." The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Everyone is looking at you. After your birthday, come and sit with Ai's family, that's good."

Emperor Hongzhi got up: "Since that's the case, Sun Chen is busy."

Birthday gifts need to be done according to etiquette.

First, all the officials entered the Jinshen Palace to congratulate, and then, the wives entered the palace.

The harem was already overcrowded, and Zhu Zaimo was dragged into the Renshou Palace. The little guy staggered under the attention of countless women, walked into the palace, bowed down, and said in a childlike voice: "Great-great-grandson Zhu... Zhu ...Zhu..." He looked confused and suddenly couldn't remember who he was.

The eunuch beside him stomped anxiously and reminded in a low voice, "Zhu Zaimo."

Only then did Zhu Zaimo remember: "Great-great-grandson Zhu Zaimo, send greetings to the Empress Dowager. Congratulations... Congratulations..."

Forgot the words again, blinked his eyes, as if the computer had crashed, and looked dazed.

The whole house roared with laughter.

The empress dowager was overjoyed, and waved to Zhu Zaimo: "Come on, my Zaimo, come to Ai's house, I miss you so much."

Zhu Zaimo just got up and was led by someone to the Zhou family. Zhu Zaimo suddenly shouted: "Remember, happiness is like the East China Sea, and life is longer than Nanshan."

The Empress Dowager squeezed his little face distressedly: "You don't need to say nice things, if you don't, the Ai family will love you too."

Empress Zhang stood aside, picked up Zhu Zaimo, her eyes were red, she hadn't seen her for a while, she wanted to take the child to have a look several times, but she was afraid that it would be too far away, so she kissed on the left and kissed on the right relative.

On the other side, on the small couch, Fang Zhengqing was lying on his back, with his legs spread apart, like a large font, snoring, as if he heard a loud movement, opened his eyes slightly, then calmed down again, and closed his eyes , continue to sleep soundly.

Princess Taikang gently tucked the quilt for her.

But someone said: "But I don't know when the prince will come?"

Yes, it's been so long, and I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "To celebrate his birthday, the prince said that he invited a troupe to the palace, and Fang Jifan is making arrangements."

All the wives complimented: "Your Majesty is really lucky."

In my heart, I don't think so.

When a noble family celebrates a birthday without inviting a troupe to sing an opera, some families have a big business and directly support the opera troupe at home.

Therefore, listening to the opera is not very attractive.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know much about opera, so he hasn't heard of it. Thinking about it, it's just an ordinary opera.

The empress dowager felt that this was a sign of the prince growing up, and she felt extremely comfortable.

Empress Zhang was a little worried, she was afraid that there would be some kind of moth, since she was singing, she just invited people to come, and she still needed that kid to recruit, why hasn't anyone been seen yet.

Empress Zhang said, "Why didn't Jifan come?"

Zhu Xiurong said quickly: "After Qi told his mother, he went to Zhang Luo with the prince."

Empress Zhang secretly said something bad.

The prince must do something again. Fang Jifan probably followed because he was afraid of overplaying.

After all the officials celebrated their birthdays, Emperor Hongzhi came, followed by Zhang Mao and others. These were either relatives of the emperor or the closest veterans. The women ordered them to salute Emperor Hongzhi first, and Emperor Hongzhi With Zhang Yuren and others, he saluted the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Sun Chen is in the foreign court and has prepared a banquet. Grandmother will hold a banquet with the nobles here in the harem. Sun Chen is about to say goodbye."

"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry to start the banquet." Zhou pressed his hands: "The Ai family has seen the birthday gifts sent by the various houses, and the Ai family likes it very much, especially Wei Guogong's mansion, which found such a big coral."

The wife of Duke Wei's mansion hurriedly prostrated herself: "If you can please the empress dowager, it will be worth it."

The Empress Dowager laughed: "It's really troublesome. As for the other pearls and agates, here are all the troubles. Come to think of it, in order to collect these birthday gifts, I have worked hard for you."

The Empress Dowager laughed again: "But these things, all

Let's go back. "

"What?"

Mrs. Wei Guogong is very happy, this gift is not free, if the Empress Dowager likes it, no matter how big the price is, it will be worth it.

But when they heard that they were going to go back, everyone was surprised.

The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "Aijia has reached this age, what's the use of all these antiques and treasures? If you have this kind of heart, Aijia's heart will feel at ease. There are countless rare treasures that cannot be born. Bring it, if you don’t take it away, it’s useless to keep it, the Ai family can just accept your kindness.”

Emperor Hongzhi was embarrassed: "Grandmother, since this is a wish, there is no reason to return it."

The Empress Dowager said with emotion: "Come on, don't say these things, don't say these things."

She has seen a lot of rare antiques.

At this age, what's the point?

The Empress Dowager immediately smiled: "The crown prince is sensible. He said he wanted to let Ai's family listen to the opera. From early in the morning until now, he has been building an opera troupe. Come on, what time is it now? The birthday banquet can be later, let's listen first." Let's talk about the play."

listen to the play...

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, why don't I know anything?

Why no one said it before?

What is Zhu Houzhao going to do?

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is very interested.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly in his heart. He glanced at Empress Zhang, who looked calm.

Emperor Hongzhi knew about it, but even Empress Zhang didn't know about it.

He had no choice but to say: "Sun Chen, obey Yi's order."

The troupe has already been set up.

Right in the Renshou Palace, there is everything you need in the palace, and there are many people. The stage was quickly set up.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't see anyone. He was putting on makeup in the background, because he was playing Xiaosheng. He looked in the mirror and saw the ink painting on his face. Soon, his face was completely different.

The costumes are even more graceful, and there is no place that is not magnificent.

This is also the characteristic of Peking Opera.

Fang Jifan was in the background, constantly urging: "Hurry up and put on makeup. Grandson... Where is grandson?"

An old man who had already put on makeup turned around and said, "God, I'm here."

Fang Jifan said: "After the play is over, don't eat until you take off your make-up, don't break your make-up."

"Oh." The person who was called grandson quietly swallowed the jerky in his mouth.

Fang Jifan was in a hurry, fearing that something might go wrong.

Then, he said: "Has the playlist been played? Hurry up and play it. This is not an ordinary Liyuan tour. We are more advanced, so remember it. Don't be nervous for a while. You can do it as you usually practice. At this time Don't hang your voice, get ready, get ready, the first game, who will play, is ready."

Fang Jifan crossed his hands, as if he felt that Cai Cai's words were not threatening enough, so he gritted his teeth: "Listen well, anyone who dares to drop the chain will be killed and fed to the dog!"

As he said that, Fang Jifan left the backstage in a flash, went to the stage, leaned out and looked down.

A shed has already been set up below, which is for the nobles to sit, and there are many brocade piers, and there are yellow curtains around these four sides, which are for the people watching the theater to shelter from the wind. There are also many charcoal basins scattered here and there for heating.

There are brocade pier inside, and there are several cases, on which there are teacups and dried fruits.

Of course, men and women must be seated separately, and the middle is separated by a yellow curtain. In this era, it must not be neglected.

In the distance, there are people coming, people are coming, Fang Jifan is speechless, if the performance fails, he must be dead, dare to play like this in the palace, who else but me Fang Jifan?

Who asked me, Fang Jifan, to respect and respect the elderly, oh, it's amazing, I asked Ouyang Zhi to record this incident for himself when I got home, and it can be published in the future, called "Fang's Biography and Xilu".

On the side, hiding by the stage, behind the curtain, is a group of opera performers of Jinghu, Jingerhu, Yueqin, and Sanxian. They are all trembling. Although they have practiced for a long time, they have never entered the palace. When I saw the son-in-law, my heart trembled very much.

Fang Jifan glanced at them gently: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, follow the rules, you'll be fine, you won't be killed, if you make a mistake, your children and grandchildren will be killed, okay, okay, don't cry, The empress dowager is having a birthday banquet, and it’s a joyous occasion, come on, have a smile, eggplant!”

The empress dowager and others have already filed in.

Looking at the stage, I felt something new.

Because the stage is big, unlike other folk arts, people are all sitting, or playing, or playing and singing.

The Empress Dowager sat in the shed, which was as warm as spring, while Empress Zhang and Princess Taikang sat on the side, accompanying her.

Zhu Zaimo was hugged by the Empress Dowager.

It seems that Zhu Zaimo is very familiar with this scene, and when he saw the stage, he immediately began to laugh.

The Empress Dowager was very happy to see her great-great-grandson smiling.

The wives sit or stand with the empress dowager as the center according to their grades.

What kind of play is this, I haven't seen it before.
