Chapter Eighteen, A Play

After several people had their meals, Meng Guqing led the children, Xina and all the maids in Kunning Palace to dance in the square.

The spring breeze came with pride, and I seemed to be holding a breath in my heart. After leaving the court, I walked to Kunning Palace. Just at the door, I heard the laughter and laughter inside.

Fulin frowned, the laughter inside was too tempting.

"Sister Queen, I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I really can't dance anymore."

"Xina, your body is not good enough. You need to exercise regularly."

Xina was sitting on her knees on the ground, unable to get up.

"It can't be done, it can't be done."

"Look at you, you are worse than a cloud."

Xina didn't know how this child had such good energy.

Meng Guqing felt that the first time was almost over, so he asked Yun Duo to sit down and rest.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Yun Duo's forehead. Meng Guqing looked at it, called Yun Duo forward, threw off the handkerchief, wiped the child, and fed her to drink herself.

Xina watched from the side and felt that the queen had changed and became warm and pleasant.

Meng Guqing touched the child's back and found that it was soaked, so he ordered someone to take the child down and change his clothes.

Xina was a little confused.

After the child left, she asked: "Sister Queen, do you know where the emperor rested last night?"

Meng Guqing glanced at Xina and sighed helplessly.

"Xina, if you are fine, read more books."

"Sister Queen, aren't you really angry?"

Feeling a little cold, Meng Guqing closed her outer cover and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of women in the palace, and our emperor will not guard his body for one person. If he favors this one today, he will favor another one tomorrow."

, If I want to be angry, I still have to make myself angry to death?"

"..."

"You and I are Mongolian nobles. As long as you and I don't make mistakes and don't ask for feelings that we shouldn't ask for. As long as the Manchus still need us Mongolia, your and my status in this deep palace will always be higher than others."

"Sister Queen, don't you want to have a child of your own?"

Meng Guqing looked at Xina and said helplessly: "How dangerous it is to give birth to a child by yourself. Maybe the child will be gone before the child is born. If the child is born, he will be raised by others. What are you talking about?"

Meng Guqing called Xina to come closer and said: "Don't just play around with those flowers and jade in your yard. Plan for them and let them give birth. If they give birth to one, you can also take care of them."

"

Xina's eyes lit up, there was a beauty in her yard.

"Okay, stop annoying me here and go back to make plans. You won't have to wait a few days before you can hold the baby."

Xina nodded wildly.

Fulin, who was listening to all this in the yard, turned around and left.

Wu Liangfu trotted behind.

"Long live Lord, long live Lord..."

Fulin suddenly paused and looked at Wu Liangfu fiercely, but he could only be angry because the queen was right.

But I felt unspeakably uncomfortable in my heart.

"Long live my lord, the Queen has now figured it out. She will definitely be virtuous in the future and will manage the harem for you, my lord. Long live my lord, you don't have to worry anymore."

"If she does good things in the future, wouldn't it be up to you to decide whether to give her a child or not?"

Before Wu Liangfu could finish speaking, he was kicked by the emperor.

"You have no roots, what do you know?"

"Yes, yes, I don't understand. Your Majesty, where are we going now?"

"Go back to Qianqing Palace."

In the next few days, the palace became lively. From time to time, the palace of Qianqing received soup, water and cakes from the harem women. Some people even met the emperor by chance in the imperial garden and sang a cappella songs.

This time again and again, the emperor became a little annoyed and scolded the concubines in each palace to stay in his palace and not allowed to go out.

Everyone did not dare to go to the emperor, so they had to go to the queen to make the decision.

Because the mourning concubine vouched for the queen and said that the queen was kind, the concubine in the palace dared to ask the queen to make the decision.

When the queen saw that none of these people had succeeded, even the most beautiful concubine Tong was missing, Meng Guqing had to wonder if the emperor was sick.

Meng Guqing looked at Zhenbi, who lowered her head shyly.

Meng Guqing understood that it was not that the emperor was sick, but that they were not good enough.

"Next month is the birthday of the Queen Mother, so please try your best."

The concubines looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.

"If you don't have a show to perform, I can set it up for you."

She has quite a few programs in her mind.

After the women left, Meng Guqing was thinking about what gift to give to the Queen Mother.

She went to Cining Palace to seek Buddhist scriptures from Aunt Sumala. Aunt Sumala had followed the Queen Mother for so many years, so she naturally understood.

"The Queen Mother has a high status now. It stands to reason that she has everything she wants. The only thing she lacks is a grandson."

This is a bit difficult.

"anything else?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not answer, Aunt Sumala said: "The Queen Mother was still talking about it yesterday. There are only a few troupes in the palace singing and singing, and there is nothing new. If the Queen Mother wants to please the Queen Mother, why not Ask the ladies of the clan if they have a good troupe."

Want to listen to a play? This is simple.

Meng Guqing said goodbye to Aunt Sumala and went to Nanfu. She needed to arrange an opera.

An interesting drama---Grandma Bai is drunk.

There is a Yue Opera troupe leader in Nanfu who is very knowledgeable. Once she explains the general content of the opera, he understands it.

"Queen, please rest assured. As long as the ladies like it, the slaves will definitely rehearse it."

In the past half month, Meng Guqing has been going to Nanfu every day to watch them rehearse. If they don't do well, they will correct it.

After more than half a month, this opera can finally be put on the stage.

On the eve of the Queen Mother's birthday, Meng Guqing invited the Queen Mother and all the concubines in the harem to listen to the play together when they had time.

The Queen Mother seemed to have never heard of this play and listened very carefully.

"Queen, you have worked hard."

Halfway through, the emperor came and sat next to the queen mother.

"Empress Huang's birthday is not celebrated tomorrow, so why are you planning it today?"

"You have to ask the Queen about this."

Fulin looked at Meng Guqing. He had deliberately not asked about her these days, but he couldn't help but wonder what she was doing.

So he came.

"Aunt, because you will be busy tomorrow, I will give you a gift in advance. I personally supervised the work of this play and revised it for more than half a month before it was completed."

"The queen has worked hard, and the family will reward her generously."

The emperor looked at the stage. He came halfway and didn't understand anything he was singing.

"What are you singing?"

The Empress Dowager said: "This is about a salt merchant's widow, Grandma Bai, who went to great lengths to marry her spoiled, overbearing and ignorant daughter Fengying to a rich man named Tong. Master Tong heard that Miss Bai was a bit overbearing, so she I didn’t want this marriage, but the marriage was already decided, and I had no reason to break off the engagement, so I planned to invite Grandma Bai and her daughter to come to the house to find a reason to break off the engagement. However, Grandma Bai deceived the superiors, deceived and got a fake daughter. Tong Mansion..." At this moment, the stage was singing about the events of the Bai family's visit to the house, "What was the result?"

"It's the first time Aijia heard it, so he doesn't know. But don't ask, Aijia wants to listen to it himself." Spoilers are refused.

The emperor looked not far away and found that all the concubines in the harem were staring at the stage. Even when he came, they only paid more attention to him.

Is this opera so good?

"Your Majesty, there is nothing going on here. You can go back and do your work. Don't delay the government affairs."
