Liu Shuyue held the plum blossom pastry in her hand and stared at the emperor.
He also felt a chill down his spine from being stared at.
Xiaoliu is lively and cute, talented, and has a close relationship with the prince. Even if he does not achieve anything in the future, he will be a comfortable prince.
What's wrong with marrying Xiaoliu?
Is Xiaoliu going to cheat on her husband? Or have a mistress?
The emperor was in a state of confusion. Liu Shuyue finally spoke: [Is he also interested in my husband? If he can't have him, then he can have his child?]
Zhou Yunshen almost burst out laughing: I treat you as a brother, what do you treat me as?
The emperor wore a mask of pain, wanting to deny it but unable to speak. He could only shout in his heart: I didn’t, I like women!
Doesn’t having four biological children prove the point?
Huahua sighed, saying that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy. The ancients were right.
Huahua: [You're overthinking it. He just wants to strengthen the relationship. If he has another daughter, I'm afraid your son will also be kidnapped and become a prince consort.]
Liu Shuyue: [Actually, the probability is higher this way. Think about it, who knows if my daughter and the Sixth Prince will be attracted to each other? If there are two pairs, the probability doubles.]
The emperor thought about it and it was true.
But Chaohua is already married and he has no daughter.
Even if they don't get married, a woman who is more than ten years older than a man seems a bit...
The emperor set his eyes on the queen and winked at her with great joy: My dear wife, try harder tonight.
The queen pinched him.
You shameless old man! Go and have sex with your concubines, and don't disturb my sleep!
The emperor sighed, he was being despised!
Liu Shuyue looked around: "Where's Lu Sheng? Where did she go?"
"She just saw the fourth brother and wouldn't let go. He was holding her in the plum garden to see the plum blossoms!"
Finally succeeded!
Poor old No. 4 has become a poor nanny!
"Your Majesty, the stage is ready. Please move forward, nobles."
The palace banquet was not that complicated, and Liu Shuyue planned to find a corner in the palace to sleep after watching the fireworks. She was too lazy to even go back to the Marquis' Mansion.
But Huahua was very excited: "Go ahead, go ahead. You'll definitely like it."
Liu Shuyue: [If I don't like it, you have to dig a melon tomorrow.]
Huahua is not afraid. During the holidays, conflicts explode and good news emerges one after another. He is not afraid at all.
Everyone took their seats, and Liu Shuyue had a thick goose down cushion under her butt.
She half leaned against Zhou Yunshen, opening her mouth from time to time to accept his feeding.
Two short plays were performed on the stage, and she felt dizzy after listening to them.
When she was about to fall asleep, Huahua yelled, "Wake up! The main event is about to begin!"
After saying that, he saw a man dressed in green clothes coming out from inside.
His appearance and figure are good, but he doesn't look as young as the other characters and has a tired look.
Although the singing is okay, it is not as clear in comparison.
Liu Shuyue: "Who is that person? Can anyone sing in the palace now?"
This level feels only five, six, seven or eight levels higher than hers, which is not that great.
Zhou Yunshen smiled and said, "Don't you think he looks familiar? Look at his eyebrows and eyes. Do they look like someone?"
Eyebrows...
Liu Shuyue squinted her eyes and stared at the other person's eyes. The more she looked, the more similar he looked. The more she looked, the more familiar he looked.
After a while, she pointed at the Qingyi actress who was singing the opera and shouted excitedly, "He, he, he is..."
Jiang An!
It turned out to be Jiang An!
Her mouth opened wide.
Zhou Yunshen methodically helped her close her mouth.
"Lord Jiang's corruption was discovered and he should have been executed, but your mother and grandfather went to plead for mercy and spared Jiang An's life."
"The Emperor said that even if you can escape the death penalty, you can't escape the punishment of living. I heard that he sang opera when he was young, and the palace happened to have an opera troupe, so he let Jiang An sing in the troupe."
Huahua: [Actually, they're not kept in the palace. The troupe usually performs outside, but they're just familiar with the palace and come in during festivals.]
This troupe is considered large, with two smaller ones under it. They also perform at South Bridge and North Gate. Jiang An usually performs at South Bridge.
[Today's palace banquet, the Emperor specifically requested that they bring Jiang An in, so he was assigned to play the role of White Snake. Otherwise, given his rank in the opera world, he would never have been able to perform.]
Liu Shuyue didn't know what to say.
In the past, high-ranking officials could call the shots and were always flattered by others when they went out.
Now he has become an opera singer, not only having to rely on others for his livelihood, but also having to bow and scrape to some young people.
The huge gap made him live in torment every day.
Huahua: [Your mother felt that letting him die too early would be a relief for him, so she wanted to find a way to make him live a humiliating life.]
Your husband wanted to castrate him and make him a eunuch, but the emperor thought it would be unlucky. If this old man had any tricks up his sleeve and kept pestering him every day, he would be annoyed to death. So he made him perform in opera.
It turns out that none of those in power are easy to deal with.
They're all super disgusting!
Liu Yuyan was sitting very close to the front and could see Jiang An's face clearly.
Years of grievances and resentment were released at this moment.
The Liu family members were all loving and affectionate, and even Liu Jiang Wujie brought his fiancée into the palace.
They were all guests of honor of the emperor, but he was the only one performing on the stage.
"reward!"
The Queen Mother shouted out rewards, and everyone knelt down to thank her. The eunuch brought up the silver.
There were ten silver ingots on a tray, each weighing fifty taels.
Jiang An was given one, put it carefully in his hand, and stepped back.
Liu Shuyue felt sorry for him: [Didn't he hide tens of thousands of taels of silver? Why is he treating fifty taels like a treasure now?]
Huahua: [The family is being pressed for debt every day, and Old Lady Jiang has run out of spices. She stole Jiang An's pants while he wasn't paying attention, and is looking for somewhere to buy spices.]
"But that spice was specially blended by your mother. It's not available anywhere else. After Lan Ruoyue's incident, the emperor tightened control over Southeast Asian merchants. If they were found selling anything illegal, their property would be confiscated and they would be exiled. In serious cases, they would be beheaded."
[Some people used to do this business covertly, but now no one dares. The old woman is increasingly struggling to find resources. While she was going crazy, she encountered a few drunken prostitutes. They got into a fight, beat her up, took the banknotes, and ran away. She was then caught by the widower, and the banknotes were also handed over.]
The old man was old, and his legs were broken. He would lie on his bed and wail for spices every day. Jiang An was too lazy to care about him now that he was in such a state. He just left him in the yard and went to live with the opera troupe.
[Sneers and rolling eyes are better than the old woman's nagging. This old woman is quite adaptable.]
Liu Shuyue just wanted to say that he deserved it!
When her mother served them every day, she treated the Liu family members like a plate of pickled mustard greens and looked down on them casually.
Now you know what you are!
