Chapter 672 The Richest Woman in South Vietnam
Temporary palace.
Jun Lie frowned as he looked at the much older Emperor Jing and asked, "How did you take care of him? Father has been ill for so long, and you didn't even tell me?"
Eunuch Fu and the others knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was the Grand Emperor who forbade us to speak."
"Go down and receive ten strokes of the cane each. Considering that Eunuch Fu has taken care of our father for many years and is old, we will deduct half a year's salary from him!" As soon as Jun Lie finished speaking, voices of thanks came out from the crowd.
"Father." Jun Lie stepped forward and said, "I brought Elder Wang here today to see you."
"You are becoming more and more like an emperor." Emperor Jing sat on a specially made soft chair. It had been more than a year since he abdicated. Sometimes Emperor Jing wondered what the purpose of life was.
"I have lived up to your father's expectations. The grain production in South Vietnam has doubled since my visit."
"Yongzhao was defeated by the Qin family army and asked for peace again."
"We've been trading with Xijiang for over a year. Now that our two countries are on good terms, we can trade and intermarry. The people of Jiashui City no longer have to worry or be in fear!"
Jun Lie sat aside, watching Elder Wang checking Emperor Jing's pulse, and said, "Yu'er is pregnant with twins. The royal family will have successors, and Nanyue will prosper!"
"Father, you must take care of yourself so that you can see your grandson being born."
If it wasn't for the sake of accumulating blessings for the child, Jun Lie wouldn't be so earnest!
Jun Lie doesn't want to see even the slightest bit of harm to the child!
"Good, very good." Although Emperor Jing's voice was a little weak, his eyes were filled with anticipation. "Don't worry, I will definitely see my grandson born. Otherwise, how can I face the ancestors of the Jun family?"
After taking Emperor Jing's pulse, Old Wang said that although he was weak, he was not so weak that he was dying. He just needed to rest well for a period of time.
Jun Lie felt relieved and said to Emperor Jing, "Father, do you want to go to Hongdu? See the Hongdu where I used to live with my mother?"
"I've kept the house by the river." Jun Lie looked towards Hongdu. Hongdu was where he was born and where he met Yue'er.
"Hongdu?"
Emperor Jing's eyes lit up. Old Wang went out to prepare medicine. Only the father and son were left in the room. Emperor Jing sighed and said, "Your mother probably doesn't want to see me."
"I promised your mother when I brought her to Shengjing." Emperor Jing's eyes were a little dim. At that time, he was just an unpopular prince. The time he spent with Concubine Rou in Hongdu was the most unforgettable time in his life!
There was no prince, no fight for the throne. He was with Concubine Rou every day, and the husband and wife followed each other, just like an ordinary couple!
"I don't know whether my mother is willing to forgive you, but she is definitely looking forward to you going to see her."
Jun Lie said with certainty: "I remember when my mother and I were waiting for you to pick us up in Hongdu when we were little. Although my mother didn't say it, she missed you very much in her heart."
Unfortunately, not long after entering the palace, my mother passed away.
It was not until he arrived at the palace that Jun Lie truly realized that he was not the only son of Emperor Jing, but one of many sons.
"Rou'an." Emperor Jing took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I will go to Hongdu to see Rou'an!"
Rouan is the maiden name of Concubine Rou.
"good."
Jun Lie came out from Emperor Jing's place. He looked up at the blue sky and thought: Mother, you should also hope that he will come to see you, right?
For Jun Lie, Hongdu is their home!
Jun Lie went to the Empress Dowager again. Jun Lie was not as good at coaxing people as Xiao Jiuyue, but he conveyed Xiao Jiuyue's words word for word.
The Grand Empress Dowager was delighted to hear this: "I appreciate the Emperor and the Empress's kindness, but I will stay in this temporary palace until I am used to it. I will stay here for a while longer. When my great-grandson is born, I will return to the Imperial Palace."
…
"It seems that the Shang family's opera troupe goes to the palace to perform every now and then, and the Empress Dowager likes it very much!" When Xiao Jiuyue was bored in the palace, he started to work as a palace porter.
There are so many classic storybooks in later generations, and Xiao Jiuyue copied them one by one! !
The Shang family troupe followed her script and rehearsed the plays one by one. After they were finished, they were first shown to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the palace!
Xiao Jiuyue had heard a long time ago that the Empress Dowager and others loved listening to operas, and now it seemed that was absolutely true.
"I like it. When I met the Imperial Grandmother today, she praised me endlessly and even asked me to bring you a lot of supplements!"
Jun Lie had someone bring the supplements he brought back to her and said, "The Empress Dowager said that you should take good care of yourself!"
"The Empress Dowager is so rich!" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the precious supplements, silks, satins and jewelry, and could tell that the Empress Dowager was not vague at all and was very generous!
"If we talk about wealth, Yue'er is the richest." Jun Lie looked at her and said with a smile: "The richest queen in all of South Vietnam?"
"No, I am the richest woman in South Vietnam!" Xiao Jiuyue raised her head with pride. When she first became the queen, Xiao Jiuyue was interested in going to the warehouse to take a look at all kinds of treasures.
Later on, Xiao Jiuyue was not so interested in these treasures. Whenever he came across a nice one, he would pick it up and display it in the palace. Anyway, he could pick them with his eyes closed, and they were all good things.
"By the way, when will the Shang family troupe come to the palace to perform a play? I want to listen to it." When Xiao Jiuyue heard the Empress Dowager mention the Shang family troupe, she also wanted to listen to the play.
Although I didn’t like to listen to it before, it’s good to have more people to talk to!
Apart from Lianxin and the others, the only one in the palace was Jun Lie who was waiting to leave the court!
"Okay." Jun Lie responded, and the next day, he invited the Shang family troupe into the palace.
"I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years live the Empress." The troupe leader Shang shouted loudly while bowing.
"Stand up," Jun Lie said, and ordered someone to take the Shang Troupe Master to the Imperial Garden to set up the stage. Xiao Jiuyue looked at Yang Ling and Xiao Yun and asked, "You two famous actors from the Shang Troupe, you actually entered the palace?"
"If we can perform for the Empress, we must come." Yang Ling bowed to Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Thanks to the Empress, our Shang family troupe is now famous throughout South Vietnam!"
Yang Ling had seen the Shang Family Troupe almost disband before, and she never imagined that one day she would become a household name, let alone that the Shang Family Troupe would become the most famous opera troupe in South Vietnam!
In the past, the Dong family troupe had to compete with other opera troupes to enter the palace, but only their Shang family troupe was personally chosen by the Empress!
This honor alone is beyond the reach of many drama troupes!
"My queen, I can earn this much money by singing in a play now!" A few years have passed, and the young girl has become more and more beautiful.
