Chapter 1736 The Eight Immortals Bow to Birthday
Although they were surprised, Empress Dowager Zhang and others still stood up and led Fang Jifan and a group of wives out of the palace.
Outside the hall, a high platform was indeed set up.
The lower shed was also prepared, the old lady, the empress dowager, the empress dowager Zhang and others were seated, with Fang Shi and Zhu Xiurong serving on the left and right.
Fang Jifan wanted to hide aside, but Empress Dowager Zhang had sharp eyes and smiled, "Where is Jifan going?"
Fang Jifan had no choice but to stop and smiled awkwardly.
Immediately afterwards, the good show came on stage.
First, a group of actors came on stage and sang a section of "Eight Immortals Blessing Their Birthday", and the atmosphere became active.
Royal, the picture is a celebration.
The old lady, the empress dowager and the empress dowager Zhang were whispering, discussing with relish which character sang better.
Immediately afterwards, there was a bang sound... when everyone looked closely, there was an uproar.
"The emperor...is the emperor..."
Fang Jifan immediately covered his eyes with his hands.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao came on stage with his head covered. Just looking at this appearance was enough to shock everyone.
He was wearing a short jacket, sunglasses that covered half of his face, and was holding a huqin in his hand.
Liu Jin followed cautiously, with a rope hanging around his neck, and a snare drum was tied to the rope.
Zhu Houzhao waved towards this side: "Great-grandmother, queen mother, I am here."
The empress dowager tried hard to open her eyes to see, but she didn't quite recognize that this was her great-grandson.
The expression on Empress Dowager Zhang's face...can't laugh or cry.
But... After all, he is his own son, so what else?
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "What is the emperor going to do?"
Fang Jifan immediately said subconsciously: "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me."
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Fang Jifan suspiciously.
Fang Jifan immediately laughed dryly: "Yeah, I don't know what novelty the emperor has tossed up. The emperor just happens to be on your mother's birthday... you say it's a coincidence."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao on the stage cleared his throat and adjusted his big sunglasses. Liu Jin put down the drum and sat cross-legged behind Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao began to play the huqin.
This huqin together... No one has ever heard such a tune, and it is completely devoid of drama. The wives outside the color shed began to whisper, and some people covered their mouths and laughed lightly.
Zhu Houzhao roared at this moment: "I used to ask endlessly, when will you come with me..."
Singing here, Liu Jin behind him beat the drum, and at the same time, he used his unique bass to pull his throat and said: "Oh... oh... oh... oh..."
Queen Zhang: "..."
Zhu Houzhao sang again: "But you always laugh at me and have nothing..."
Liu Jin continued to beat the drum: "Oh... oh... oh... oh..."
"..."
People were shocked.
No one knows...what the emperor is singing.
As for that **** Liu Jin, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
But Zhu Houzhao’s singing of Zheng Huan was out of tune in many places, and in the end, his voice became hoarse... Liu Jinke did his duty and still kept singing.
The face of the queen mother has turned into a liver color.
Fang Jifan blinked, he was shocked, it was just a joke at the time, he didn’t expect... His Majesty really dared to come...
Zhu Houzhao finished singing and took a deep breath.
The wives all had embarrassment on their faces, but they immediately applauded.
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "I never expected that I like to sing this song, and you like to listen to it so much. This is what I never expected. It's so good. I will sing it again!"
As a result, all the wives' faces turned pale, and their smiles froze.
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and waved to Fang Jifan: "What kind of song is this?
Fang Jifan nodded hurriedly: "Oh, oh, I'm going to invite the emperor right now."
Fang Jifan ran over with a stride, and persuaded Zhu Houzhao to come down from the stage with good words.
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "How about it, Lao Fang, are you surprised? Your song is good, but I have nothing. You have money like this, and I have so much rotten land in my hands. Mother's birthday, you How much gift money do you plan to give, or give it to me in cash, I'm running out of money soon, oops... I still want to sing." He hummed a tune and sang softly: "You come with me now..."
Behind him, Liu Jin subconsciously opened his hoarse voice: "Oh... oh... oh..."
This time, Fang Jifan slapped him with a backhand after he only said three sentences.
With a bang, Liu Jin's voice finally stopped abruptly.
Fang Jifan scolded angrily: "Oh, oh, oh, you're so tall, oh, try saying oh again."
Liu Jin swallowed, shivering with fright, trying to wink at Fang Jifan, implying that this is His Majesty's intention.
When Zhu Houzhao arrived in the colorful shed, he hurriedly bowed down, and happily kowtowed to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Zhang, and said in a loud voice: "I wish my mother and queen a safe year."
The empress dowager Zhang's stiff complexion looked better just now.
Zhu Houzhao then turned to the Empress Dowager and said, "Great-grandmother, does Sun Chen sing well?"
The Empress Dowager showed a kind smile and said: "Well, well, everything the emperor sings is good."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Empress Dowager Zhang happily again and said, "What does the Empress Dowager think?"
Queen Zhang: "..."
In this situation, is she going to tell the truth, or a lie?
Zhu Houzhao sighed and said: "My son's singing is not good. My son is self-aware. Originally, it was just a smile from my mother-in-law, but who knows that my mother doesn't like it. It seems that this is my fault. But..."
He shook his head: "My son finds that singing is very interesting. Hearing and roaring makes him feel better."
The Empress Dowager Zhang said: "But you are the emperor, how can you be like this? If you spread the word, others will laugh at you."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Today is the mother's big day, and my son and minister don't sing it every day."
Empress Zhang still smiled after all, and gave him a doting look: "I accept your favor, get up, what's next... What is it?"
"Listening to the opera, there are two more performances in the future. Erchen ordered Shiro, the mother's favorite, to visit the mother."
The Empress Dowager Zhang's face became more gentle: "Okay, okay, okay."
Zhu Houzhao first wentssiping with Queen Mother Zhang for a while, and then took advantage of Queen Mother Zhang and others watching the play enthralled, and tiptoely dragged Fang Jifan out of the shed.
With his hands behind his back, he swayed back and forth with Fang Jifan, saying, "Old Fang, why are you so sad?"
Fang Jifan said sadly: "Your Majesty is like this, people outside are going to gossip again. They dare not say that His Majesty is stupid, they only say that there are treacherous ministers around His Majesty, all of which are taught by ministers."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened: "You taught it in the first place, but you don't recognize it now?"
Fang Jifan himself laughed: "It was just a joke with His Majesty. It was expected that His Majesty would not sing. Who knew His Majesty actually sang."
Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully: "It's actually very interesting. Although the words in it make me feel dizzy, they are exciting when I yell them. Not to mention these things, I heard that you started construction projects on that land , what kind of project is this?"
"Now there is no horoscope, I dare not reveal the secret, otherwise it will not work."
Zhu Houzhao said: "I'm looking forward to your promise day and night, but I can't imagine how to increase the price so much..."
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty has mentioned this matter several times. You just need to rest assured, but... I still say that, this is my fiefdom, and no one cares what I do in it." no."
Zhu Houzhao was happy: "Don't let people listen to your words, otherwise, people will think you want to rebel. Lao Fang, to be honest, do you really want to rebel? You see, throughout the ages, who doesn't want to rebel? My God."
Fang Jifan endured the urge to beat Zhu Houzhao, and said earnestly: "I am outside, I can do whatever I want, no one can restrain me, as long as I don't rebel, I'm free and easy. But your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, is it true that some ministers are happy? So many people are staring at him, from the queen mother to the officials, everyone hopes that your majesty will be the person they want to be, the emperor... what good is it? What's more, the minister's family has received the state's grace, and if the minister Conscience? Of course, it doesn’t matter, the most important thing is, the emperor is so wise, he knows every detail, how dare I rebel?”
Zhu Houzhao patted him on the shoulder: "You and I are good brothers and good friends. Even if you rebel, I will definitely not do anything to you. If you rebel, the first thing I will think is, why did I treat you so poorly? It's not that you have done something that displeased you, people say that if you become an emperor, you are lonely, but I am different, I would rather not be a good emperor, but also be a man of loyalty."
Fang Jifan grinned, and this smile revealed sincerity from the inside out.
At this moment...Liu Jin trotted over: "The empress is looking for Your Majesty and Lord Zhen Guo."
So the two had to go back and continue listening to the play.
After spending most of the day in the palace, Fang Jifan returned to Zhen Guo Mansion after he came out of the palace.
Before the seat was warmed up, Wang Jinyuan came over: "Young master, Shou Ninghou came here just now, and seeing that the young master is not there, he knew that the young master went to the palace to celebrate his birthday. He said he would go later, but... stayed Here is a notebook."
Fang Jifan nodded: "Let me see."
Wang Jinyuan took the notebook, Fang Jifan opened it, and his scalp felt numb immediately.
But after reading it carefully, he became interested, and couldn't help saying: "It's interesting, it's interesting... Send this thing to a weekly magazine, publish it, and let people discuss it."
Wang Jinyuan understood what the young master meant. Anything had to be published in the weekly magazine first, and then it would trigger discussions among many people. After the discussion, a new thing might appear and be finally implemented.
Wang Jinyuan said: "One more thing..."
"Say it."
Wang Jinyuan said: "Before they left, they moved some things away, saying yes... saying that it was not a good thing, the young master kept it to hinder the Lord, bad luck... this is for the good of the young master... the people in the house dare not stop them."
Fang Jifan's gaze immediately swept away vigilantly, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Where's my paperweight? Where's my ivory gold-plated squatting paperweight?"
Wang Jinyuan swallowed and spit, his face was pale, and he dared not say a word.
