time flies.

Suddenly, it is the last day of the "Winter Solstice Golden Week".

This morning, Zhu Xiuyuan got up, washed up, and prepared to leave the city as usual and go to the Divine Thunder Army camp ten miles outside the city.

After so many days, the camp was actually completed late yesterday.

Zhou Dong, who was stationed there to supervise the work, once sent someone to say that the camp was well built and fully met Zhu Xiuyuan's requirements...

It’s better to read it once than to hear it said a thousand times by others.

So today, Zhu Xiuyuan is going to "check and accept" it in person.

Let's take a look at Shenleifang on the way.

After many days of trial operation, Shenleifang has no problems and has been officially put into operation in the past two days, building new weapons in large quantities.

Such as firecrackers, fierce fire oil tanks, thunder and so on.

Outside the gate of the uncle's mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan had just got on his horse and was about to set off when suddenly an old eunuch appeared from the side and led a group of young eunuchs, smiling.

"Eunuch Liu!"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately turned over and dismounted, took two steps to greet him, and bowed his hands.

"Uncle, our family is here again, haha... Uncle, are you getting ready to go out?"

Eunuch Liu was shaking a whisk in his hand, with a smile on his face. The three words "here he came again" in his words showed that he often came to Zhu Xiuyuan.

"When Eunuch Liu arrives, is it because His Majesty summoned him?" Zhu Xiuyuan guessed.

We are all "old friends". In the past few days, Emperor Chen summoned him and sent Eunuch Liu to deliver oral instructions.

"Well..." Eunuch Liu suddenly straightened up and said loudly, "Your Majesty has spoken: Summon Uncle Jiangcheng to the palace immediately for an audience!"

After reciting the oral instructions, Eunuch Liu's tall figure suddenly shrunk, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Uncle, you can't go far away. Your Majesty has summoned you. Please come with us to the palace!"

"I obey the imperial edict!" Zhu Xiuyuan raised his hands to the sky, boarded Eunuch Liu's chariot, and prepared to enter the palace. On the way, he asked in a casual tone like a chat: "Eunuch Liu, your Majesty is summoning you this time.

I wonder what it’s for?”

"Uncle, don't worry!" Eunuch Liu shook his fly whisk, with a smile on his face, "Recently, the imperial concubine made a new dance, and Your Majesty admired it very much. He also said: There is no other person who can do such a wonderful dance except me.

Besides, the only person who can still appreciate it is Zhu Aiqing..."

Zhu Xiuyuan's face was expressionless.

As he expected, Emperor Chen invited him to a banquet to enjoy singing and dancing...

Recently, although Emperor Chen has become interested in new weapons, there are faint signs of taking over the government again...

However, he still indulged in singing and dancing, and had fun as much as he wanted.

"Oh, I wonder what kind of dance the imperial concubine has choreographed? How could it be so appreciated by His Majesty!"

In line with the principle of chatting nonsense, Zhu Xiuyuan asked casually.

"This dance is really wonderful. Our family was lucky enough to have seen a short part of it... Tsk tsk, the imperial concubine is extremely talented. I'm afraid she is the only one who can choreograph such a wonderful dance... This dance is called 'Yushu Backyard Flowers'!" Liu

The father-in-law smiled.

Yushu backyard flower?!

Zhu Xiuyuan was sitting on Eunuch Liu's chariot and almost fell down.

The flowers in the backyard of the jade tree are the sound of a country being destroyed...

"Uncle? What are you..." Eunuch Liu was startled. If something went wrong with Zhu Xiuyuan on the way to the palace, he couldn't bear the consequences.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just...feel His Majesty's love, and my heart was agitated, so I lost my composure for a moment..."

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hands, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.

According to the original historical trajectory, this "Back Garden Flower" was originally a love song in Yuefu folk songs.

Later, Chen Shubao, the empress of the Southern Dynasty, wrote the lyrics, and Zhang Lihua, the imperial concubine, composed the music and choreographed it, creating the song "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu", which is the sound of the country's subjugation.

Unexpectedly, the current imperial concubine You Lihua also composed a dance song called "Yushu Backyard Flower"...

In fact, the current Chen Dynasty is quite similar to the historical Chen Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. Even the "Yushu Backyard Flower" in the voice of the country's subjugation has appeared...

When Eunuch Liu saw that Zhu Xiuyuan was fine, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

On the chariot, I chatted with Zhu Xiuyuan and drove all the way to Chengtian Gate at the foot of the Imperial City.

The two got off the bus and walked, entering Chengtian Gate, passing Duanmen, entering Meridian Gate, and entered the Forbidden City.

After entering the Meridian Gate, Eunuch Liu led Zhu Xiuyuan along a corridor on the side, then passed through Fengtian Gate, passed through Wenzhao Pavilion, then passed through the three main halls of Fengtian, Huagai, and Jinshen, entered Qianqing Gate, passed Qianqing, and Jiaotai. From the three major palaces of Kunning to Qin'an Palace.

Qin'an Hall was the place where Emperor Chen and Concubine You played their daily games.

As a foreign minister, Zhu Xiuyuan was the first to set foot in this palace!

It can also be seen from this that although Chen Huang was dim and indulged in singing and dancing, he really valued Zhu Xiuyuan.

"My lord, pay homage to your majesty and pay homage to the noble concubine!"

In the main hall of Qin'an Hall, Zhu Xiuyuan watched Emperor Chen and Concubine You, performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

"Ai Qing, come back quickly, haha, Ai Qing is finally here, please give me a seat!" Chen Huang's excited voice came from above.

"I thank your Majesty!"

When Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and took his seat, he quietly glanced up.

I saw that Chen Huang was wearing casual clothes, and his face looked a little older, sallow and dull.

Although the beard, hair, etc. were carefully taken care of, they could not hide the look of being hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

But now, Chen Huang's interest is indeed very high, with an excited smile on his face and a strange excitement.

This is like the flame of a raging fire cooking oil, vague and red, but... it seems to be the "lamp oil" burning life...

Contrary to Emperor Chen, Concubine You was radiant.

Although she is over thirty years old, she seems to be a peach that has been nourished by infinite essence. Overall she looks like she is in her twenties. Every frown and every smile has the charm of a young woman in a flowerbed...

As the saying goes, flowers are in full bloom, which happens to be the period of maturity and fragrance. Compared with the little girl in her teens, Concubine You has a different kind of charm.

"My beloved, your concubine has composed a new dance today called 'Yushu Backyard Flowers'. This dance was composed by my concubine, but the words were filled in by me..."

"Haha, this 'Yushu Backyard Flower' is a collaboration between me and my beloved concubine. It can also be regarded as the best dance song we have collaborated on over the years!"

Chen Huang laughed heartily and seemed quite pleased with himself.

Concubine You was also smiling, but she didn't speak.

"Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are a couple of gods and goddesses in the human world. I believe that the dance music performed by Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine will amaze the world and be unparalleled in the past and present! Like a bright pearl, it illuminates the present and will shine on future generations!" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and paid his respects.

This "Yushu backyard flower" has indeed "glorified future generations", but only as the voice of the country's subjugation.

"Hahaha..." After hearing Zhu Xiuyuan's words, Chen Huang laughed even louder, and the sound shook the entire hall.

"Ai Qing said it well. I am very satisfied with this dance music of 'Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu'." Huang Chen said with a smile again.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Aiqing is our close friend and the only audience for this dance!" Concubine You also smiled.

"Then thank you for your hard work, concubine. Let's dance again for this only audience!" Chen Huang said.

Concubine You nodded, then exited Qin'an Palace and went back to change clothes.

Zhu Xiuyuan was so frightened that he actually asked the imperial concubine to dance for him, which was really shocking.

"Hey, eh, dear, don't be afraid. I summoned you today just for this new dance. You can just enjoy it with peace of mind, haha..."

Zhu Xiuyuan saw this, so he returned to his seat and sat down, chatting with Emperor Chen and waiting for the song and dance to begin.

About half an hour later.

The singing and dancing begins.

Concubine You appeared in dancing clothes, she was really stunning...

That dance, that expression, that makeup, that figure, they are all top-notch.

In addition to being beautiful, the music is also great.

Sometimes it is grand and majestic, with the atmosphere of a prosperous age. Sometimes it is lingering and graceful, like falling flowers and flowing water, like a beautiful lady in a boudoir...

In addition, the libretto of "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu" is also good. Although it is a palace poem, it is also unique.

Just listen to the song:

"Liyu Fanglin faces the high pavilion, with new makeup and gorgeous quality.

Yinghu Ningjiao didn't come in for a moment, but came out of the curtain and greeted him with a smile.

The face of the enchantress is like a flower with dew, and the jade trees illuminate the backyard.

Flowers bloom and fall but they don’t last long, they fall red all over the ground and return to silence.”

Overall, this is really an audio-visual feast, rare in ancient and modern times.

No wonder Chen Huang, who has indulged in singing and dancing for more than ten years, also highly praised him.

But Zhu Xiuyuan was different. Although he felt amazed in his heart, at least he would not be completely obsessed with it.

Although this dancer is beautiful, especially Concubine You, who is the most beautiful woman in the country and has a noble status, she is the noble concubine of a country... so this dancer alone can touch the string deep in people's hearts.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan has been tested by the "Kou Fairy" for a long time.

The figure, appearance, and temperament of the Kou Fairy are not inferior to those of Concubine You. She is also known as "the best singer and dancer in the world", and her dancing skills are naturally not bad either.

Furthermore, Kou Yaojing's identity...is that of the princess of the Guizhou Kingdom, which is considered to be on par with Concubine You.

Let's talk about music. Although the music of "Yushu Backyard Flower" is wonderful, what genre and style of music has Zhu Xiuyuan not heard of?

Finally, there is the libretto. This poem is indeed well written, but throughout history, this poem is not the brightest among them...
Chapter completed!
