As soon as the emperor died, the elder Wang who guarded the palace would immediately seal off the palace. One was to find out the cause of the emperor's death, and the other was to block the news so that Tianlong Temple would have time to elect the next emperor.
Therefore, if the emperor is really dead, not only will the palace not be chaotic, but it will be more tightly guarded.
Secondly, the little liar is no longer a mortal, but a half-dragon. If he died of a sudden illness, Elder Wang and the others would definitely become suspicious. But at this time in the palace, the only outsider is Yu Qingyao. She will immediately become the biggest suspect, and even be directly used as a scapegoat.
Yu Qingyao sighed, throwing away the idea of killing the little liar emperor now. She turned her head and thought about how to increase the number of people entering and leaving the palace.
At dusk, the emperor came.
After drinking with the emperor, Yu Qingyao pretended to be unhappy.
Li Huaide was very concerned about his junior sister, and quickly asked, "Qingyao, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?"
Yu Qingyao sighed and said: "No one messed with me, but I was bored. The palace is too deserted, and you are busy every day, so you don't have time to talk to me."
After hearing this, Li Huaide felt very guilty.
He wished he could play with his junior sister all the time, but he couldn't. In order to gain the support of Tianlong Temple, he wants to be a good emperor. The state of Wu is in troubled times, and the Chu family will call at any time. At this time, he cannot do without the support of Tianlong Temple.
Li Huaide thought for a while and said, "Shall I ask some ladies to come and play with you?"
Yu Qingyao shook her head and said, "I don't know them, so it's meaningless to call them in and talk flattering things."
Li Huaide thought about it, so he said: "Then I will let the people from Jiaofang Division sing and dance for you?"
Yu Qingyao thought for a while and said, "No, the singing and dancing in the palace is well-behaved, so boring."
Ma Debao said jokingly: "Then, invite some famous teams from outside, what do you think, Madam?"
Yu Qingyao waited for this sentence, and said with a smile: "Does Jianye have any good team?"
Ma Debao hurriedly said: "Of course, the servant will call someone tomorrow."
Yu Qingyao tilted her head, looked at the emperor, and asked with a smile, "Is the emperor free tomorrow night?"
She meant to ask the emperor to watch it with her.
Li Huaide nodded hurriedly.
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we have made an appointment, don't you not accompany me to the theater!"
Li Huaide nodded his head.
In the afternoon of the next day, Jianye's most famous theater troupe really entered the palace and started performing in the imperial garden. Yu Qingyao and a group of people sat there to watch the play.
Of course Yu Qingyao has the final say on what to play, she ordered a romantic drama. The screenplay tells a cliche story. The male protagonist is a scholar, he meets a beautiful young lady, and it is love at first sight. With the help of the maid, the two made a private decision for life. In the end, after several twists and turns, the lovers finally got married.
The story is very old-fashioned, but the lyrics are quite beautiful, and the actors' performances and singing skills are remarkable.
Wu Jutong is played by a woman, and the male protagonist is played by a girl, who looks quite handsome. Yu Qingyao had fun watching it.
The antics in the middle of the act are hilarious and hilarious too.
At dusk, the emperor really came to accompany him.
Yu Qingyao happily took the emperor to his seat, then sat next to him and told him the story ahead with a smile.
When Li Huaide heard that it was a romantic drama, he was not very interested. However, he still cooperated with his junior sister with a smile on his face, pretending that I also liked to see him.
After a while, the play progressed to the heroine holding the love token sent by the hero, thinking about the hero who was traveling far away.
Yu Qingyao rolled her eyes, smiled and stretched out the emperor's hand, and said, "Brother De, do you have any important gifts for me?"
Li Huaide looked at the stage, then looked at the expectant eyes of his junior sister, and immediately understood that the junior sister was asking for a love token from him.
He smiled shyly and excitedly, took out a dragon-shaped bracelet and said, "My mother gave it to me, saying it was for my future daughter-in-law. Here it is for you."
Yu Qingyao wanted to hit the emperor for a fortune, so she accepted it with a smile, put it on her wrist, and asked, "What's so special about this bracelet?"
Li Huaide was very happy to see his younger sister wearing it on her hand without even thinking about it, and said: "This is a magic weapon made of dragon scales. It can block five full-strength blows at the Jindan state, and it can also defend against ordinary attacks at the Nascent Soul state." . My grandfather only has three of these magic weapons. Wear them carefully and keep them for self-defense."
Yu Qingyao hummed happily.
After watching the play, he gave a reward, and the actor thanked him and left the palace.
On the way back to the palace, Yu Qingyao cursed the male and female protagonists with itchy scalps. She was very cautious, and didn't expect to sneak out of the palace the first time.
She wants to see how these people leave the palace.
The actors left the palace in a hurry, and many of them didn't take off their makeup.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the imperial guards counted the number of people one by one, and the Taoist priests swept their minds randomly, even the item boxes were not spared.
Yu Qingyao looked depressed, thinking that there were fewer people leaving the palace.
The next day, she summoned two teams into the palace, and invited another group of wives and ladies.
This night, Li Huaide didn't have time to come over.
When everyone left the palace, the Taoist priests guarding the palace gate obviously panicked. There are more than one hundred people in the two theater troupes, and more than two hundred people in the wives and ladies, plus their close maids and wives, there are more than seven hundred people in total.
Elder Wang temporarily sent all the Taoists who were resting in shifts to the gate of the palace.
On the third day, Yu Qingyao intensified and called three teams. Two actors and one juggler.
As for the guests, she invited more than 300 wives and ladies, and more than 400 royal family members.
Thousands of people poured into the imperial garden, and the guards in the palace were so busy that they were sweating.
Elder Wang was a little bit frustrated, but there was no reason to stop him.
Yu Qingyao said that she wanted to get closer and bond with the wives and royal family members. The queen was supposed to do this, and it was almost the end of the year. The palace needs some festive and lively atmosphere.
Besides, the post-book ceremony is about to be held, there is no need to make Yu Qingyao unhappy because of such a trivial matter.
Yu Qingyao sat on the stand, while dealing with the wives, while quietly observing the transfer of the guards in the palace.
Because too many people came to the imperial garden, Elder Wang transferred two thousand imperial troops to the imperial garden, two hundred eunuchs of the internal guards, and nearly one hundred Taoist priests.
The guards in many places in the palace were empty.
Yu Qingyao was overjoyed, and decided to find a chance to get out of the palace tonight.
The palace was full of gongs and drums, and it was lively until dusk.
On the two stages, the actors were still babbling and singing, and on the other stage, the entertainers were performing acrobatics.
Under the stage, hundreds of banquet tables were set up.
Yu Qingyao sat at a table with a group of clan wives. Everyone was drinking boisterously when they suddenly heard the sound of a mountain shouting long live.
When the emperor came, everyone stood up and knelt down to worship.
Li Huaide gestured with a smile, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, get up!"
He was going to show his face and show his affection, to show that the widow loves the queen very much. Then, he will go back to approve the memorial.
Yu Qingyao watched the emperor approach with a smile.
She is also ready to show her affection one last time, and then run away.
She's all set. As soon as the emperor left, she made excuses to leave.
