Chapter 111

When the people in the theatrical troupe saw Xiao Wanwan, they couldn't hide their surprise on their faces. They knelt down in unison and shouted: "I've seen Mrs. Jieyu."

They all knew that there would be a performance for this empress' birthday tonight, but they didn't understand why Xiao Wanwan came here.

"Who is in charge here?" Xiao Wanwan asked.

A young man who looked about 24 or [-] stood up: "Go back to your mother, this slave is in charge."

Xiao Wanwan explained to him what she had done, and the man took Xiao Wanwan to the cubicle where the costumes were stored.

Uncle Duanhuang is not short of money, and he is willing to spend a lot of money on things he likes. The workmanship of this set of costumes is not bad at all compared with the palace costumes of high-ranking concubines. Xiao Wanwan looked around Look, I picked out a set of red costumes, and the person in charge wrapped them in silk cloth and handed them to Xiao Wanwan.

"Do you have any smarter girls here?" Xiao Wanwan asked warmly.

"Your Majesty, you want to..."

Xiao Wanwan smiled: "It will never be a bad thing, and the rewards will never be missing. The things to be done are not difficult. You can pick a sentence and make it clearer."

The person in charge agreed and called a person named Chun'er to come over. Xiao Wanwan took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to her. The two talked for a long time in the cubicle. The young man in charge was naturally Tell Wang Duan all about Xiao Wanwan's performance.

Duan Wang naturally knew what this woman was going to do, he laughed secretly in his heart.

It was true that the emperor doted on her. She wanted to please the emperor's nephew at the birthday banquet, but she was afraid of being compared. She hired Chun'er as a helper, and Chun'er was the most spiritual in the team.At that time, I'm afraid that Jieyu's limelight will be suppressed by a little girl in the theater troupe, which is really not worth the candle.

Eunuch Li is an old man in the palace, so hosting a concubine's birthday party is naturally no problem for him.

Emperor Jiawen once greeted the empress, and the empress understood Emperor Jiawen's intentions, so even though she was upset, she still informed Liu Gong of the news.All the concubines in the harem who were able to come to the dinner party came tonight.

Eunuch Li handled things in an orderly manner. The faces on the stage were painted with oil paint, and the men and women in brightly colored costumes sang loudly.The rough style unique to Zhaoguo is revealed between the transitions of steps.

Sitting next to the central table under the stage were Emperor Jiawen, Empress, Concubine Li and Yan Jieyu.Concubine Hui's health is not good, and the weather is not completely warm, so it is reasonable for her not to come.

Concubine Li had delicate makeup painted on her face, an emerald gold butterfly apron on her head, and fine silk embroidered satin on her clothes, which made her cheeks delicate and charming.All of a sudden, Xiao Wanwan was compared, as if she was the birthday star of this dinner.

The queen said: "This is really due to sister Jieyu's blessing, otherwise how could my concubine hear such a good opera."

Emperor Jiawen nodded: "Uncle Huang's accomplishments in opera, there is no one better than him in the whole country."

Xiao Wanwan's eyes fell on the stage, with longing and love that could not be concealed between her eyebrows and eyes: "Chenqie also heard operas when she was a child, but the difference between the performances on the same stage at that time was huge. I originally thought that operas should be softly spoken, but I didn't expect to hear the sound of clank today."
