Eunuch Liu held the account book and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, today we collected more than 180,000 taels."
"180,000? Just the tickets sold for 180,000 taels?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have counted it three times, and it is absolutely correct."
Eunuch Liu had actually counted it more than a dozen times. He had even counted the amount of silver for the large carriages several times.
The emperor flipped through the account book and fell into deep thought, "Eunuch Liu, how come the common people are so rich? It's simply..."
He is even richer than the king of a country. Unfortunately, his national treasury is empty and his private treasury is also empty.
Apart from a little power, I don’t have any money at all!
"Your Majesty, those who signed up to buy tickets and participate in the cultural performances are all wealthy merchants in the city. Many of them not only bought SVIP seats, but also spent a lot of money to buy their children the opportunity to perform in the talent show."
"Oh, I see." The emperor felt a little relieved after hearing what he said. Fortunately, not everyone was richer than him.
"Eunuch Liu, I think this can be accomplished. You should cooperate with her work and ask her to come to the palace to rehearse the dance for me tomorrow."
Emperor Dagua secretly made up his mind that there must be no mistakes in this talent show, as this was his first time performing in front of civil and military officials and the common people.
A king cannot lose face!
…
In the next few days, many people from all over the city still flocked to Hua's house every day to register.
Huang Si Niang had already drawn many promotional posters. After drawing, she added words like "The Emperor and the Empress dance hand in hand, this is the only time, you will regret it for the rest of your life" according to her daughter's request.
Those who had registered and were waiting to watch the performance gathered together excitedly, eating melon seeds and looking forward to the grand occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
Those who signed up for the talent show closed the door and began intensive rehearsals. They didn't want to miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
Both men and women want to be noticed by the emperor through their talent shows.
The man has begun to fantasize about a high official position falling on his head.
The woman began to fantasize about being recruited into the palace to become a queen, and living a life of luxury from then on.
Civil and military officials also shut themselves in and honed their talents.
In short, the whole city was in a state of frenzy.
…
Xiang Hua's task today is to teach the Pope and the Queen to dance.
"Your Majesty, I brought my mother here and would like you to embroider a picture for you. Is that possible?" Xiang Hua wanted her mother to draw a portrait of the emperor, but Huang Si Niang had never seen the emperor and could not draw one, so she had to resort to this last resort.
In fact, the emperor had been to the Xianghua family several times, but each time he was received by a high-ranking official. Huang Si Niang stood far away from beginning to end and did not dare to look up.
"Okay, no problem." The emperor was in a good mood.
Huang Si Niang bowed timidly and went behind the screen, where paper and pen were already prepared.
Xiang Hua looked at the emperor and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, can you change your clothes? Your clothes are too long, it's not convenient for dancing. The same goes for the queen."
"I... don't seem to have any short clothes." The emperor looked embarrassed. His only short clothes were pajamas. Was he going to dance in pajamas? This was too indecent.
Queen Ulanara Cuihua looked at her clothes that were mopping the floor, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Can this short dress look good?"
"Yes." Xiang Hua patted his chest.
"Yes!" Huang Si Niang added in a low voice, "If the Emperor and Empress don't mind, I can help you alter your clothes or make a new set of clothes."
The Queen looked at Huang Si Niang. She looked kind and had no ulterior motives towards the Emperor. She would not take this opportunity to seduce the Emperor. "Okay, let's do as you say."
Huang Si Niang took the scissors and cut the long dragon robe and phoenix robe of the emperor and empress short in two strokes. "Emperor and empress, you guys rehearse first today. I will hurry up and mend your clothes tonight."
…
Everything is ready.
Xiang Hua took out the speaker and started playing the song she had recorded in advance.
"One smile in the rivers and lakes, and all the turbulent world is forgotten~"
She danced and sang at the same time, and she was so happy.
"The sword rises from the rivers and lakes, and the grudges are swung, covering the bright moon with the sleeves~"
When she finished singing and dancing, the emperor and the empress were stunned.
This...isn't this dance move too avant-garde, too exaggerated, too wanton...
Xiang Hua looked at their confused looks and thought they didn't understand, so she danced again. After dancing three times, she was a little out of breath.
[Damn, I'm so tired. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done this crappy activity. I'm so exhausted. ]
The system encouraged her while eating melon seeds: [It’s okay, the emperor and the queen are both very smart, they will learn it once they learn it.]
The emperor and empress who were said to be very smart: "..." Do you want this intelligence?
"Your Majesty and Empress, let's begin." Xiang Hua put her hands on her hips, turned her back to the two of them and began to lead the action.
The emperor and the empress followed her movements and learned little by little.
You know what, the emperor and the empress are really smart. They almost mastered it after learning it twice.
At first, Eunuch Liu was not used to such a crazy emperor and empress, but after watching and listening for a while, he found that the tune was quite nice.
You can't stop listening to it once you start, especially when the sound of Xianghua comes through that speaker, which gives it a different flavor.
The Emperor and the Empress were rehearsing in the back garden. Many palace maids and guards kept coming over here, but Eunuch Liu was immersed in the music and did not drive them away.
When the emperor and the empress had almost learned everything, they found that they were surrounded by people.
It’s the kind with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Xiang Hua glanced around and said with a smile: "You came at the right time. Come and learn together. When the time comes, you will dance with the Emperor and the Empress."
