Obviously, these dishes were not cooked by the chefs in the palace, but by chefs hired from outside. Otherwise, the palace might use military rations to entertain guests.

The old beggar moved his index finger. He didn't care about anything else at the moment and just grabbed it with his hands...

While the guests were changing glasses, the actors from Huamen Tower in the capital also began to "work".

They occupied a corner of the outer hall, playing the harp, pipa, or flute...More than ten kinds of musical instruments played harmoniously, playing a soothing and melodious tune on the spot.

The Palace of Poyang invited actors from Huamanlou in the capital. Naturally, Miss Kou Wanwan was not the only one. In fact, Huamanlou also brought many musicians and dancers. However, the appearance of Miss Kou Wanwan was the highlight of the entire banquet.

That's right.

In the soothing and melodious tune, King Poyang and the guests exchanged cups. You toasted me a cup, and I toasted you too...

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, King Poyang and the guests were already a little tipsy. However, the alcohol content of this drink was so high that even if they drank it hard, it would be difficult to get drunk in a short period of time.

The degree of unconsciousness.

The feeling of being tipsy is just right!

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng were not idle either. They toasted to King Poyang, King Zhenze and other princes, as well as people they knew. When they returned, the six people at their table toasted each other again. After taking two bites of the food, everyone suddenly heard

Someone had to shout loudly: "Miss Wanwan is about to appear..."

At this point in the banquet, it has already entered its second half. If there is any performance at the banquet, it is time to perform it.

"Brother Zhu, look, Miss Wanwan is coming out!" Liu Wencai, who was beside Zhu Xiuyuan, suddenly became excited and grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder with one hand, fearing that Zhu Xiuyuan would miss any frame of the picture.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't laugh or cry, he thought to himself that Kou Wanwan, who is full of flowers, is really appetizing... This is the ancient version of a superstar!

Not only did Zhu Xiuyuan and Liu Wencai crane their necks to look at the temporary stage set up in the outer hall, but even Dong Cheng and Li Linzhou were not spared.

Kou Wanwan is a top singer and dancer with a wide reputation in the capital. It is rare to see her. If you make a special trip to Huamanlou to see Kou Wanwan, you will have to spend thousands of taels... Now there is a free opportunity, everyone

Of course you won’t miss it.

So Dong Cheng and Li Linzhou also stretched their necks.

Only the old beggar and Liu Xun remained unmoved.

To an old beggar, the top singers and dancers in the capital might not be as attractive as a chicken leg.

As for Liu Xun... Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't guess what he was thinking, but thinking about it, he shouldn't be interested in singers and dancers.

In the entire outer hall, not only Zhu Xiuyuan's table was excited, looking forward to Kou Wanwan's appearance, it should be said that 90% of all the guests present were excited, and the place suddenly became lively and noisy, like a dish.

market.

The princes and senior officials sitting at the head of the table also looked at the temporary stage.

It’s such a wonderful feeling to enjoy a wonderful performance after having a good meal and wine!

…

However, amid the endless calls, the person who appeared on the makeshift stage... was not Kou Wanwan!

But a group of dancers from Huamanlou!

The enthusiasm of everyone in the outer hall has weakened slightly, but it is still very lively, but not as enthusiastic as before.

"Hey, it seems that Miss Wanwan is going to make her final appearance as the finale!" Liu Wencai sat down slumped, but his thin face immediately lit up with joy. He stood up again, stretched his neck and reached towards the temporary stage.

He put his arm around Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulders and said excitedly: "Brother Zhu, although Miss Wanwan is the last to appear, these singers are not bad either. They can also be ranked high in Huamanlou and even in the entire capital.

Brother Zhu, look..."

Needless to say, the dancers from Huamanlou in the capital, their figures, makeup, clothes, movement details, etc., are all top-notch choices. According to today's terms, they are professionals.

Paired with the tunes played live by musicians...

It looks really pleasing to the eye, refreshing, graceful and beautiful, and makes people feel happy, as if they are about to become immortal and ascend.

In his previous life, Zhu Xiuyuan was a resident of Bizhan. He also watched a lot of various classical dances on Bizhan. Although the classical dances on Bizhan were also good, compared with the scene before him... they were substantive.

s difference!

This is really a group of ancient women dancing gracefully. "As graceful as a startling dragon, graceful as a swimming dragon" is not enough to describe the beauty of this dance. It is simply too classical!

The noise in the entire outer hall gradually became weaker, and everyone held their breath and enjoyed the dance.

Time always passes fastest at the best moments.

Before everyone in the outer hall had seen enough, the group of dancers had slowly exited the temporary stage.

Before everyone could return to their senses, they saw another woman walking onto the temporary stage holding a guqin. After setting up the array, the woman lightly strummed the strings of the guqin with bare hands and began to play and sing.

The singer was playing and singing popular ditties. Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know how good her singing skills were, but it sounded pretty good. However, she didn't have a microphone or a speaker, so her voice was a little small and not shocking enough.

Immediately afterwards, another singer who was decorated extremely coquettishly came on the stage. She held a similarly decorated and extremely beautiful pipa in her arms. After bowing in front of everyone, she also began to play and sing.

…

Singing and dancing were interspersed until the sixth performance, when the long-awaited girl Kou Wanwan finally appeared!

However, before Kou Wanwan even appeared on the stage, a group of royal family generals lined up. They wore silver helmets and faced the temporary stage with their backs, protecting it tightly behind them.

Zhu Xiuyuan was in a daze and said to himself: "I'll go, is it necessary? They even formed a human wall in front of the stage. Could it be that someone wants to rush to the stage to cause trouble?"

"Wanwan!" Liu Wencai, who was beside Zhu Xiuyuan, was already immersed in excitement and madness, unable to extricate himself. He screamed wildly, then jumped up from his seat, shouting: "Wanwan! Wanwan!" He raised his legs and walked towards the door.

The wall of people in front of the stage rushed past!

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes moved from the wall of people to the excited Liu Wencai, and his expression changed from stunned to understanding.

It turns out...arranging a human wall in front of the temporary stage does work!

There are many people who have fallen into madness like Liu Wencai, about thirty or forty people. They are all well-dressed young men and they are die-hard fans of Kou Wanwan!

Rather than saying that they came to attend the 50th birthday banquet of King Poyang, it would be better to say that they came here to see Kou Wanwan's beautiful face.
Chapter completed!
