The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 74

On this day, Shengshou Festival finally arrived.

The Empress Dowager did not live in the palace during this period, but lived outside the palace in the southeast direction, in a royal garden Qianlong Villa with hot springs. This Qianlong Villa is not only a warmer residence in winter, but also a summer resort.

Early in the morning, on the road from Qianlong Mountain Villa to the Imperial Palace, there were eunuchs sprinkling water to clean the street, and then paved a long red carpet. Many performance stages were built along both sides of the road for folk artists to perform on stage. It not only allowed the Queen Mother to feast her eyes along the way, but also allowed the people in Beijing to watch the ceremony and celebrate together.

Guozijian, Guozixue, and Gongxue are all on vacation. Although Fu Yuchen has removed the splint on his leg and can even walk for a short time, his leg is still a little weak and it is inconvenient to travel far, so he has to stay in the Rest in Qingtong courtyard.

Fu Xuechen was able to use Fu Yuchen's identity to go to the streets together at the invitation of Zhang Chuyang and Guan Enming, two little friends, to experience this universally celebrated festival together.

On festive days, both sides of the street are also decorated with lanterns and festoons. This is the cultural habit of the entire Chinese nation. Fu Xuechen looked at the red paper lanterns hung on the trees along the street, and the festive lanterns hung independently by the shops along the street. In this life, I seem to have entered the Gufeng Film and Television City, traveling in Hanfu.

It feels really good!The only exception is that this Hanfu is unfortunately men's clothing, and that a mobile phone is missing.

The three of Fu Xuechen obviously came out late. When they appeared on the main road, the red carpet on the ground had already been put away. Early in the morning, the Empress Dowager was welcomed back to the palace by the emperor and his courtiers. Court clothes, accepting the worship and birthday celebrations of the emperor and civil and military officials.

But the stage set up on the side of the road is still there, and various performances are still going on. No matter which stage is under it, people are surrounded by people.

In the streets and alleys, there are a lot of food for sale. In almost every food stall, there are many people laughing loudly, or burying their heads in eating. There are also many children walking around with snacks in their hands.

"It's so lively! It seems that the people in the whole capital have come out!" Fu Xuechen sighed.

Guan Enming was holding five or six skewers of barbecue in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil, and he had no time to talk to him. Zhang Chuyang was better, he likes sweets, and he was chewing half a candied haws at the moment. He just smiled and said, "No way!"

The three of them stopped at the periphery of a performance stage at this moment. A monkey show was being performed on this stage. Several monkeys in clothes were doing somersaults. Chengdu is a child, following the monkeys' performances and making noise.

Later generations pay attention to the protection of animals, and almost all animal performances are banned. Even Fu Xuechen has never seen such an interesting monkey show, so he stayed here excitedly to watch it for a long time, and finally threw a handful of rewards on it.

Guan Enming said: "I heard that someone is already arranging a monkey show to make a big fuss in Tiangong. Unfortunately, the storybook of Journey to the West came out too late. Otherwise, there must be a related monkey show on this stage, and the plot will be even more exciting!"

Let real monkeys perform Journey to the West?Fu Xuechen is looking forward to it, but unfortunately there is not yet. Although the sales of new story books in bookstores are booming, word of mouth has spread, and even teahouses, theaters and other places where storytellers are told, many storytellers have begun to talk about new stories there. The script, but it will take time to reach the level of universal knowledge.

In addition, there is a stage dedicated to performing tricks, which is also very attractive to Fu Xuechen. Magic performances, as long as the insider tricks are not exposed, are so magical no matter how you look at them.

In addition, there are operas from all over the world, including Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Cantonese Opera, and Huangmei Opera!How else can I say that it is the capital of goodness under the feet of the emperor!All kinds of talents from all over the world are concentrated in the capital, and everyone does their best to rely on their own abilities to make a living, so the life experience of the people in the capital will naturally be rich and colorful.

At noon, the three of them were tired from shopping, so they went straight to a teahouse and asked for a small private room to drink tea, eat snacks and take a break to listen to books. They were all stuffed with snacks, and they didn't want to eat.

The teahouse is three stories high, and looking out from the window, one can see a corner of the cornice of Miyagi in the distance.

At this moment, the six princes should have kowtowed to the queen mother, offered birthday gifts, and started to enjoy the palace banquet, right?Fu Xuechen couldn't help guessing, wondering if the queen mother would like the ivory mahjong tiles sent by the imperial concubine?

In the palace, the birthday celebration was still going on under the auspices of the ceremonial officer according to the pre-determined procedure. At this moment, it happened to be the fourth prince's turn. As expected, he presented a song "Hundred Birds towards the Phoenix" as a congratulatory gift. The Empress Dowager smiled, Nodding approvingly, the queen beside her also smiled, but her eyes were a little pale.

The fifth prince didn't think too much about it. His status as a concubine and concubine didn't show any favors, so he didn't dare to show his head. He just presented a congratulatory parallel essay as usual, saying that it was carved by himself, and the literary talent was still there.

It was the sixth prince's turn. He was wearing a small red dragon-patterned narrow-sleeved martial robe, a golden belt around his waist, and a smile showing eight white teeth. After kowtowing several times, he said with a smile: "The grandson kowtowed to Grandma Huang! May Grandma Huang live a long life and enjoy family forever!"

The queen mother was happy at once: "Get up, get up! Little Zuoer, where is your congratulatory gift?"

Yun Zuo stood up and said, "Grandma Huang! My grandson has learned a new song, so I made a special trip to sing it with Grandma Huang."

"Hey! You can also sing?" The Queen Mother was surprised, and was actually aroused a little bit of interest.

Under the gesture of the ceremony officer, the musicians outside immediately played a very festive pre-music. Yun Zuo had already made up his mind, and when the node arrived, he immediately bowed his hands and sang the short Cantonese birthday song: "Grandma Huang! I wish you a happy birthday Like the sky, I wish you a happy birthday, every year has today, every year has today, congratulations! Congratulations!"

The song was very short, but the Empress Dowager was stunned when she heard it, a bit of surprise and nostalgia could not help showing on her kind face, after the song, she blinked her old eyes quickly to get rid of the water vapor that was about to gushe out.

"Little Zuo'er! Come quickly!" The queen mother hurriedly stretched out her hand to beckon.

Yun Zuo stepped forward, but was actually embraced by the Queen Mother and gave him a loving hug.

"Xiao Zuo'er, you have a heart! It's a pity that you still learned such a difficult hometown dialect for grandma. Grandma likes it very much! Your gift is very suitable for grandma!" The queen mother repeatedly praised.

Seeing that the Queen Mother liked his congratulatory gift so much, Yun Zuo was very happy, but he was also a little ashamed and said: "Grandma Huang, grandson is tired and dull, and he only learned these few sentences."

The queen mother laughed: "Enough is enough! These few words are enough!"

The process still had to continue, and even if Yun Zuo was favored by the Queen Mother, after a few gossips, he could only stand aside and watch the Seventh Prince and Princess Zhiling continue to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

The Seventh Prince gave a birthday couplet written by himself, and Princess Zhiling gave a picture of a pine and a crane drawn by herself.They are all regular gifts that can be given by underage juniors, so there is no such ingenuity as Yoon Joo.

That guy Yuchen's idea is really different from ordinary people!Yun Zuo couldn't help but think of Fu Xuechen who advised him, that is to say, he is not a descendant, otherwise he would use "brain hole" to describe the other party.

It is noon now, and the birthday celebrations and palace banquets of the harem concubines and court wives are all arranged in the evening, and the congratulatory gifts of Concubine Xie and others will only be presented in public at that time.

The unique mahjong tiles, Grandma Huang, who often plays leaf tiles, will probably like it very much, but I don't know, what will be the gift from the Fu family?Could there be some ghost idea from Yuchen?Yun Zuo guessed wildly in his heart.

　Basically Yang Kang!However, the sequelae are a bit tormenting. Occasionally, I still have to cough twice. I have insomnia and dreaminess at night, and then I feel sleepy during the day, but I can’t wake up at noon.
