Red makeup against the world

Chapter 225 Jiang Chen
"Good! Good!" Empress Dowager Xiao happily praised two good words, and said: "This Xianglong class used to be quiet, but filial piety is good. You call the class leader for me, and I will ask him a few words." talk."

Nanny Ding winked, and Liuli, the chief maid of Yanqing Palace, arranged for it.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his 40s came up from the stage, led by the servant.

He was well built and had a great smile on his face.After struggling in the opera gardens in the capital for many years, I finally made it through today!To be summoned by the Empress Dowager was not in vain the money he had spent over the past year, and the new play he had painstakingly rehearsed.

Nanny Ding, who was behind Empress Dowager Xiao, nodded slightly to him. He was determined, knelt down on the ground in fear and respect, and made a big salute, "Hu Guang, a grass man, has seen the Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old!"

Empress Dowager Xiao encouraged him with warm words, and boasted: "Your intentions are good, the Ai family knows. In the future, the palace will have to run a few more times, practice more new plays, and show the Ai family Look. Ten bolts of ornamental flowers, ten bolts of tribute satin, and one hundred gold and silver nudes each."

Hu Bantou kowtowed excitedly: "Caomin thank the Queen Mother for the reward!"

Not to mention the value of this reward, in this way, his Xianglong class will be compared to the Yunshao class who was previously honored in the palace!
With the Queen Mother's personal praise, it is tantamount to plating a layer of gold on Xianglongban.In the future, whether it's in theaters or concerts, the money will probably double.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Bantou Hu who was overjoyed, and was in a trance.It’s better to be a folk, although struggling to survive, the joy can be expressed so nakedly.

How long has it been since I've had fun like this team leader?Thinking back to those dark days in the last years of the previous dynasty, I followed the first emperor to fight north and south, and every time I sent him off, I was afraid that I would never see him back.

That's right, the day when he returned from the battle was his happiest day!Whether it's an invincible victory or fleeing back in embarrassment, as long as she sees him come back safely, she will be extremely happy.

Nanny Ding has been with her for decades, looking at her expression, how can she not know that she is thinking of the late emperor again?

Afraid that she would be sad, he changed the subject and asked Bantou Hu: "This martial artist looks strange, where did the team find such good materials?"

Hu Bantou hurriedly said: "His surname is Jiang, and his single name is Chen. A few years ago, our Xianglong class went to Xuzhou to sing a church meeting, and met him fainted on the ground. After resuscitating him, we found that he was hungry. I'm dizzy, and I don't know anything about other questions. Seeing that he is a good-looking talent, Cao Min took him in, but unexpectedly encountered a piece of rough jade."

Speaking of his favorite disciple, Hu Bantou began to chatter, took a look at Empress Dowager Xiao's face, and saw that she was not impatient, so he continued: "This Jiang Chen can be said to be very good at learning opera. His clothes were not bad that day, and the grassroots didn’t know why he fainted from hunger on the streets of Xuzhou. They thought that although he was a good young man who studied opera, he was not a son of some family who was wandering outside and his pearl was dusty. So he took I sent him back to Beijing, and while teaching opera, I started to find out his life experience."

Empress Dowager Xiao used to be in the deep palace, and often spent time tending flowers and plants.Hearing such a legendary story at this time, Bantou Hu said it very interestingly, he just listened with great interest, and couldn't help asking: "What happened later?"

Bantou Hu spread his hands and said: "But I can't find it anywhere. I asked him to appear in the theater a few times, and took him to the hall to sing, but no one said he had seen him. I felt that maybe I wanted to see him." If it’s bad, let’s put down our minds and teach him opera with peace of mind.”

Empress Dowager Xiao felt regretful, suddenly smiled, and said, "You are so cunning! He doesn't remember the past, so how do you know his name?"

Hu Bantou was taken aback, and he who had already got up to answer, knelt down again with a "hoo", waved his hands and said, "Caomin will never dare to lie to the Queen Mother! His name is the name that was hidden in his clothes when he was discovered that day." I bought a handkerchief with the word 'Jiang Chen' embroidered on it. Cao Min guessed that this might be his name, and they kept calling him that."

Seeing him bluffing like that, Empress Dowager Xiao smiled.Nanny Ding stretched out her hand to give him a hand, pulled him up, and said, "The queen mother is just joking with you, look at you being so frightened!"

Here, Ban Hu talked back, coaxing Empress Dowager Xiao into a good mood, and the atmosphere in the pavilion was also relaxed.

Amidst the laughter, Liu Zhaoyuan quietly returned to her seat and sat down. Concubine Fu Xian glanced at her and nodded slightly.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and it seemed that her departure did not attract much attention.Relaxed, quietly let go of the handkerchief in his hand, and turned his attention to the stage.

Wu Guangqi had already sent a fast-legged little eunuch to report Shi Jieyu's dismissal and premature birth.

But a mere Jieyu is not in the hearts of Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Cao.Although Concubine Fu Xian wanted to go back to Chunling Palace to take care of the delivery, but remembering the agreement with Liu Zhaoyuan, she still patiently waited for her to come back.

The previous agreement with Liu Zhaoyuan was that she would help her cover her whereabouts in the "Baolin Garden". After Shi Xinmei was convicted, Liu Zhaoyuan would find a way to get the emperor to entrust her to raise the child she gave birth to.

Although Shi Xinmei has fallen into the dust and her crimes are unforgivable, the flesh and blood she is giving birth to is the noble son and grandson of the phoenix and dragon.

She sat dignified and virtuous, and seemed deeply attracted by the scene in front of her, but her heart was full of enthusiasm.

Such a good thing, she can get a child without laboring half a finger.The risk is Liu Zhaoyuan's. If she doesn't succeed, she won't damage her status in the slightest.Of course she agreed to such a good thing.

Thinking of what the little eunuch reported just now, the emperor has decided to let her raise the child.In this way, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and the smile on the corner of Concubine Fu Xian's mouth became even more obvious.

My own princess Fu is already 13 years old, and she will get married in two years.Zhengchou didn't invite the emperor to come to his Chunling Palace for no reason in the future, so he had an extra child out of thin air.If it's a boy, even better!
Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back her temper, she glanced at Liu Zhaoyuan, and saw that the palace maid beside her, Zimo, hadn't come back yet.He had no choice but to tighten the silk handkerchief in his hand again, and managed to bring his mind back to the play.

At this time, Shanmei, who was beside Empress Cao, received a report from the little maid, bowed her head and said something to Empress Cao.

Empress Cao raised her eyebrows slightly, with a trace of surprise on her face, she glanced at Liu Zhaoyuan, and said, "Come here."

Liu Zhaoyuan's heart tightened, she got up and walked towards Empress Cao.Concubine Fu Xian hurriedly pulled herself together and listened intently, always ready to smooth things over.

Liu Zhaoyuan came to the queen and bowed her knees, and Shanmei moved a spring stool for her to sit on.

"Just now, where have you been?" Empress Cao said softly.

Liu Zhaoyuan sat on a third of the spring stool, and carefully said the words that she had practiced thousands of times in her belly: "The concubine just now felt a little dizzy, so I asked the virtuous concubine to go to the nearby imperial garden for a walk. Dispersed."
