Although he said he was worried, Yang Duo knew it was not the time for self-disruption, otherwise, Dong Shuai himself might have problems before waiting for the emperor. "Don't worry, don't you have any confidence in Dongshuai?"
"I have confidence, but this time it's the emperor." Hu Yan wanted to continue explaining.
"It's good to have confidence." Yang Duo interrupted directly: "Since you have confidence, let's see how your Dongshuai performs miracles at a high speed."
Originally, she looked worried, but after hearing Yang Duo's words, Hu Yan, who had no reason, calmed down a lot, and then she took a lot more firm steps, and she was looking forward to Dong Shuai's wonderful performance in her heart.
Compared with the nervousness of others, Yang Chendong, one of the protagonists at this time, is indeed very calm, at least on the surface.When the time came, he strode into the harem of the imperial city under the leadership of a eunuch in charge. This was also the first time he had come here. Travel here is average.
This also made the eunuch who led him secretly amazed in his heart, saying that this Dong Shuai was very capable. Although he didn't know it well, at least the effort of raising his spirit was unmatched by outsiders. The first time he entered the palace, he had a look of apprehension and nervousness, how dare he look as natural as Dong Shuai?
"Dongshuai? The palace in front is where Princess Shangde rests, and today's birthday party will also be held there." Seeing that it was approaching, the eunuch in charge reminded Yang Chendong in a low voice.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work." The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and after showing a confident smile, he took out a large piece of silver from his sleeve like a magic trick and handed it over.
This is the largest silver leaf, one piece is 20 taels.After the eunuch in charge held it in his hand, he smiled more like a flower and said, "Then our family wishes Dong Shuai all the best."
"Haha, okay, I'll accept your good words." Yang Chendong laughed loudly, and then walked faster, as if he didn't know that there was a battlefield ahead, but that there was some beautiful scenery waiting for him.
Yang Chendong came, only half an hour earlier than the other ministers' daughters.This was specially arranged by Zhu Qizhen, he just didn't want to give Dongshuai too much reaction time and watch him make a fool of himself.
After rushing to Princess Shangde's palace, Yang Chendong met today's protagonist, the third princess.
When the beautifully dressed third princess saw Yang Chendong, an imperceptible smile appeared on her face, and then she stepped forward to greet her generously, giving the impression that the two met for the first time.
This is actually the first official meeting between the two, but in private, it is true that they have been friends for a long time.
"Yang Chendong has met Princess Shangde, and the princess is a thousand years old." After Yang Chendong finished speaking, he wanted to fall to his knees.
On the contrary, the third princess stepped forward directly, saying, "Yang Xima, you don't have to be polite, you have to work hard today."
Yang Chendong, who was not kneeling, raised his head and looked at the third princess carefully, and found that this girl was indeed very beautiful, and her skin was also good, but those eyes seemed to move too fast, giving people a feeling that she was too beautiful. naughty feeling.
Thinking that this is just a girl who has just turned 14 years old, and she loves to play by nature, Yang Chendong didn't bother with this matter at the moment, but answered respectfully with his head down, "As for the princess, it's not hard for me to work for the emperor and the princess. By the way, I will arrange for the people and some things to celebrate your birthday to enter the palace one after another, and I would like to ask the princess to make it easier for you."
"Naturally, this princess has already made arrangements, so I just ask Yang Xima to rest assured." The third princess smiled and nodded in agreement.Since everything was arranged by Yang Chendong, of course the people and things he prepared had to be put into the palace, otherwise what tricks could he do by pointing at him as a man?
After a brief ceremony, Yang Chendong walked around the palace accompanied by several eunuchs. He needed to look after the environment, find a good location, and at least know how to arrange the things and people coming.
Chapter 1 endless coups
The eunuchs who followed him were all doing their best, and when facing Yang Chendong, they all had flattering expressions on their faces.They all received 500 taels of benefits from eunuch Mou Mu in advance, how dare they not be dedicated at this time?
With the cooperation of everyone, Yang Chendong soon knew the arrangements of the various locations.In fact, he had obtained the blueprint of the palace before, and now he just walked around in reality to determine the final location.
Two hours later, all the people and things arranged were in place. The more than 500 daughters of the ministers who came to watch the ceremony also came to the palace, scattered within the scope of their activities, chatting in groups of three or four.
It seemed that everything was ready, and finally came a sharp shout, "The emperor is here, the queen mother is here!" The audience quickly became quiet.
Dressed in a dragon robe, Zhu Qizhen, who was dressed very vigorously, walked to the compound of Princess Changde's Palace surrounded by Empress Qian and all the concubines, and took the seat arranged by Yang Chendong for them.
There are too many people coming, and the general palace can't hold these people. Fortunately, it's the end of April and the beginning of May, and the weather in the capital during the day is still very pleasant.Being arranged in the courtyard together, no one would have any opinions.
In the compound, as soon as the personnel were in place, Yang Chendong, the organizer and planner, was also watching all this from the corner.After seeing that even the emperor and empress had arrived truthfully, he smiled and nodded slightly to Lady Xue who was not far away.
Xue Niangzi got a hint from Yang Chendong, and said loudly on the spot: "Princess Shangde's 14th birthday party has officially started. Please enjoy the first program, the opening dance "Happy Birthday Song".
As soon as Lady Xue finished speaking, a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls ran out from the corner of the palace. They were all wearing short skirts that exposed their knees. They were young and lively, and came separately.
So many people popped out all at once, which caused everyone in the venue to be surprised at first, but when they saw these beautiful girls with an average age of 16 to [-], they came straight to the third princess and surrounded her After being surprised, each of them showed a clear look.Needless to say, this must have been arranged by Dongshuai.It really is different, this opening is completely different from before.
The sudden appearance of dozens of beautiful girls also surprised Yingzong Zhu Qizhen who was about to find fault.
Originally, he wanted to express his dissatisfaction in the first program, and was going to give Yang Chendong a blow, but unexpectedly, he was shocked by the exposed white thighs.
In the whole field, there are only two real men, one is him, and the other is Dongshuai Yang Chendong.Of course, Yang Chendong has seen these leg-showing clothes for countless times, and he has already become immune and accustomed to them.
Zhu Qizhen is different. Although he has many concubines in the harem, all of them are dignified and beautiful considering their status. Who would dare to hang around in front of him in such clothes?When I saw this suddenly, I was naturally shocked, and I was so shocked that I completely forgot about finding faults.
In contrast, Princess Changde, who was surrounded, was indeed beaming with joy.She just knew in advance that there was such an opening dance that she needed to cooperate with, and she only needed to walk around the arena with these girls, but she never thought that it would be such a big formation, especially the clothes they wore were really beautiful Ah, you can fully show your beauty, making her even want to wear such a dress.
As previously agreed, after being surrounded by beautiful girls, Princess Changde walked from the stage to the arena together, and then the sounds of guzheng and pipa sounded one after another. After a prelude that everyone had never heard before, Lady Xue Walking onto the stage in person, he bowed slightly to the three princesses first, and then a beautiful singing sounded, "There will always be that song on the road of growth, happy birthday song! Accompanying our growth, what a familiar song, hold your hand tightly , I want to sing a happy birthday song with you! Today is your birthday, I just want to say to you, today is your birthday, I will write a song for you, there is also you in the song, I am much happier”
This happy birthday song by Liu Mengzhe is not well-known even in later generations, but it is indeed suitable for today's occasion. This is what Yang Chendong found after searching for a long time in Dacang. As soon as this song came out, Immediately, everyone in the audience was excited about it.
The new song, which has never been heard before, is so relevant, it is really hard to think of any reason to object.It was Zhu Qizhen who had long wanted to make things difficult for Yang Chendong, but at this moment he really couldn't find any better reason, so he could only watch it expectantly, looking for a place where he could be held accountable in the next step.
The investigation of Yang Chendong concluded that although this person is good at writing songs, especially new-style songs, they are usually exciting and romantic, but obviously when the princess celebrates her birthday, such songs It can't be called the occasion, at that time, Zhu Qizhen can find a reason to punish Yang Chendong's crime.
A happy birthday song ended with the singing of the girls.Afterwards, different pieces of music played, and Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up.
Under the prelude of a heavy melody, Princess Changde's expression changed from being cheerful just now to a serious one, and at some point, the former bustard of Baihuatang has now become one of the stewards of the fairy house of a good girl, Mu Lili Station By the side of the three princesses.
With the prelude of the melody, she suddenly opened her mouth and sang in a mezzo-soprano: "Thinking of your back, I feel tenacity, touching your hands, I feel hardship, unknowingly your temples have white hair, silent You have wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, my old father! The one I love the most"
A song "Old Father" appeared on the stage. When singing about my old father, the person I love the most, Princess Shangde also echoed along with her, and she used it to tell others that she is using This song expresses gratitude and misses my father Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.
Originally, such songs are more suitable for men to sing, as if Yang Chendong, who has been secretly controlling all this, is an extremely suitable person.But after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea of doing it himself.
For one thing, his majestic appearance in a place where all the women's relatives except the emperor were present could easily cause disputes.
The second is that Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji is good, and he is not his father. Why should he stand up and sing for others?
If Yang Chendong doesn't come out as the lead singer, the song can't be finished with Princess Shangde's noise, and if he sings it forcibly, it will only change the meaning.So he chose Mu Lili, the former oiran, she had experienced many things, and there was a hint of vicissitudes in her voice, which just happened to be able to sing the taste of this song.
There is this scene in front of you.Mu Lili sang the lead, and Princess Shangde sang the key words, completing the song.
When it comes to singing this old father, it is also because throughout the dynasties, the emperors usually rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, and they all regard filial piety as the way.Where would a child be born without a father?As soon as this song came out, it was really just to fit the title and the occasion.
At least, once this song came out, Zhu Qizhen, who had been picking on faults, couldn't say anything.
After the song "Old Father" ended, the rhythm changed again. Mu Lili seemed to come quietly, and when she left, she didn't attract anyone's attention, leaving only Princess Shangde standing in the center of the field, facing There was a hint of sadness in the voices of the crowd, "14 years ago, my mother gave birth to me on this day. Now that I have grown up, she is indeed separated from me forever. As a daughter, I miss her very much. Now I will dedicate a song that only mothers are good in the world, and I hope that the mother who has passed away can feel that her daughter misses her."
These words and sentences that Yang Chendong had originally composed quickly aroused everyone's sympathy, especially that most of the audience were women, and there were even women like Queen Qian who wanted to be mothers in the future.When Princess Shangde said this, it immediately aroused their endless thoughts about their mother.
Only a mother is good in the world. A child with a mother is like a treasure. If you put it in the arms of your mother, you will not be able to enjoy happiness
When Princess Shangde said this, there was a hint of longing and memory in her voice, which immediately mobilized the emotions of everyone present.Because the lyrics are simple and the melody is easy to understand, during the third time, many people in the audience gave their support, even Empress Qian burst into tears. When she heard this song that is only good for mothers in the world, it is not difficult to be moved , I couldn't help but think of my mother's kindness to me when I was growing up in Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu).Immediately, he pulled the emperor Zhu Qizhen who was at the side with his slender hands, "Your Majesty, this concubine misses her mother."
"Okay, after a while I will arrange for someone to bring her to the capital to accompany you." Zhu Qizhen looked at this Empress Qian who seldom asked him anything, and agreed immediately.
The song "Only a mother is good in this world" aroused everyone's emotions and everyone was infected.Most of the daughters of ministers are thinking in their hearts that they should spend time with their mother after leaving the palace and returning home, and at least say that mother has worked hard.
Everyone's emotions were infected, so that no one noticed that a large three-layered and beautifully styled snack was pushed to the center of the field, and pushed to the side of today's birthday princess, Princess Changde.
"Please be quiet, everyone. Since it's a birthday, how can there be no birthday cake? Everyone, please look, this is the birthday cake just launched by our Shenxianju. It has cream on the top and soft pastry on the bottom. It is sweet and delicious. It will be available for everyone to taste. Before that, there is one more thing to do, and that is to light candles and make a wish." The voice of Snow Maiden resounded clearly in the field and entered everyone's ears.
