With the fermentation of the words "Long Live the Tang Dynasty", the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an City has obviously been ignited. Therefore, when the fire dragon on the water of Qujiang Pool rushes quickly from one end of the embankment to the other, what can be seen is , they are just the royal family members and ministers.
The sound of "Long Live the Tang Dynasty" has been heard for a long time, but the fire dragon on the surface of Qujiang Pool disappeared in the blink of an eye. A long fire dragon seemed to swim quickly across the water, and people's eyes followed the twinkling lights of the sparks. , arrived at the other side in an instant.
"boom!"
The long-lost feeling of the earth shaking and this sound like thunder were already used to the people of the Lantern Festival last year, but the envoys from various countries who came to the Tang Dynasty for the first time obviously did not expect it. They were hearing it one by one. When there was a sound like thunder, my heart trembled involuntarily, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
With a "wow" sound, fireworks that were more dazzling than the stars suddenly appeared in the night sky. The legendary fireworks of the Tang Dynasty finally shined in people's expectation.
The whole sky seems to have become a world of fireworks, one after another with the sound of thunder, blooming in the high night sky, also reflecting the entire Chang'an City with colorful lights, like a colorful city that never sleeps!
This night will eventually be recorded in the annals of history. When Li Hong arrived at Qujiang Pool, he saw the historian with tears in his eyes and an excited look on his face, writing furiously with trembling hands.
When Li Hong came closer and saw the actions he recorded, he forgot to stop him, but was completely immersed in the shock of that night.
"The Legend of White Snake" opened the black curtain of the front stage amidst a burst of drums and harps. Characters began to appear on the stage with unique music. As the characters sang and played, "White Snake" was played on the stage. The plot of "The Legend" slowly unfolded. Under the leadership of Li Zhi and Wu Mei, the royal family members in Qujiangchi gradually became involved in the plot along with the characters.
Bai Suzhen, dressed in a white dress and fluttering fairy mantle, made people couldn't help but cheer for her, but also worried about her fate with Xu Xian.
Xiaoqing, as a maid-like character in it, is also deeply remembered in people's minds just like the male and female protagonists.
Fahai's appearance was quite shocking to Li Hong, so even Pei Wanying, who had watched it several times, couldn't help pinching Li Hong's arm nervously when she saw Fahai and Bai Suzhen fighting. Can't help myself.
Wait a minute, no! Why is the queen mother next to her looking at the scene on the stage with an angry face, and her delicate jade fingers pinching her other arm? Isn't her old man right next to her
"Mother..." Li Hong took a breath and bared his teeth and said, "It hurts."
"Who asked you to design this Fahai so powerfully? Can't you just let it turn into a happy story? And Yan Lingbin, too, lived a happy life by himself, so he decided to compile it like this. No, you have to change it after you go back, this Fahai..."
"The story needs it, Queen Mother. You can't do everything according to your wishes, right? How can the story be attractive if it doesn't have twists and turns and twists and turns?"
"That won't work, this Fahai looks too annoying, and that grand master, I feel a bit like Xu Jingzong back in the day, the shriveled city is very deep... But Xu Jingzong is serving as a young master in your East Palace, right? I've never treated you like this, right? Why are you so sarcastic about Xu Jingzong..."
"Mother, what does this have to do with Xu Jingzong? It's not even close to Li Yifu..."
"Can you watch it carefully and keep your voice down?" Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei and her son impatiently, warned him, and then continued to enjoy the Legend of White Snake.
But when Bai Suzhen ended and Xu Xian was suppressed, when the plot was no longer exciting, Li Zhi said leisurely: "This Bai Suzhen can be regarded as a loyal woman, but... if Bai Chun plays the role..."
"Do you think it's possible?" Wu Mei's hand that had just been holding Li Hong's arm tightly finally let go, holding Li Zhi's arm and sneered in a low voice.
"Why isn't it possible?" Li Zhi hadn't noticed his prince yet, and his whole face had darkened.
This is not the first person to say this. Basically, in a small area, people who have watched this play will sigh like this in the end, but when it comes from his father's mouth, it always makes Li Hong feel that Bai Chun There is a bit of a danger that someone might be asked to play Bai Suzhen someday.
"Look at that jealousy. If you let Bai Chun play Bai Suzhen, who will play the role of the high-ranking official? You can't let the black-faced prince play the role." Wu Mei said, grabbing Li Zhi's arm and smiling at Huazhi. Trembling and unable to control himself, his whole body was almost hanging on Li Zhi's body.
As the plot continued, Wu Mei returned to normal again, but from time to time when she saw something she was dissatisfied with, she would vent to the Crown Prince next to her.
In addition, the princess would occasionally discuss the plot with her, which further contributed to Li Honglong's mother's dissatisfaction with some plots.
Even Yan Lingbin, the editor-in-chief, didn't know whether the plot was really not fulfilling enough, or whether it really didn't suit the taste of the Tang people. He carefully wrote down every opinion of Wu Mei, and sometimes even wrote it down while writing it down. , while nodding in agreement.
This gave Wu Mei the opportunity to continue to find faults, so when the whole story came to an end, Yan Lingbin's notebook was filled with notes, but her husband, the Crown Prince's arm was all blue and purple. Son's.
Li Hong understands that this kind of patchwork plot cannot be accepted by everyone, especially talented women like the Queen Mother, Li Lingyue, etc., coupled with the world view of this era, it is difficult to accept it. It was a success from the beginning.
So when Long Ma was picky and picky about "The Legend of White Snake", Li Hong had to admire that the opinions of Long Ma and Long Dad, who also intervened later, were indeed very important.
Although when it was time to leave the scene, the couple almost quarreled in front of the royal family due to differences in the plot, but this did not affect Yan Lingbin's continued thinking and consolidating the plot of "The Legend of White Snake" and the in-depth characterization of the characters.
But no matter what, this Shangyuan Festival, "The Legend of White Snake" can be released, and it can get nods of praise from Li Zhi and Wu Mei, as well as other royal family members, including many ministers, which already makes Yan Lingbin very proud.
She has greater confidence in how to further develop "The Legend of White Snake", whether it is the characterization of the characters, or the fullness of lyrics, music, and plot. Compared with the uneasy state at the beginning, she naturally It's too much stronger.
As for "The Romance of the West Chamber" that will be performed in the Daming Palace tomorrow night, Yan Lingbin also has some confidence in her heart, and even has some confidence to let Li Zhi and Wu Mei find fault. In short, in her opinion, in "The Romance of the West Chamber" , at least there are still many words and lyrics that can arouse people's aftertaste.
When returning to Daming Palace from Qujiang Pool, the fat man Li Dan called out to Li Hong, pointed at Concubine Xiao Shu's carriage, and motioned for Li Hong to go over.
At this time, Li Hong, even if he was favored by Li Zhi and Wu Mei, he would not dare to sit in the same carriage with Concubine Xiao Shu like the little fat man.
So looking at Concubine Xiao Shu's face full of unhappiness, grievances and complaints, Li Hong had no choice but to ask Hua Meng to fetch a horse, and then followed Concubine Xiao Shu's carriage, preparing to go back.
But his move shocked the officials from Taipu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and Honglu Temple who came casually.
How can this happen? His Majesty and the Queen's chariots are just ahead. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not go by, but instead accompanies Xiao Shufei's carriage. This... this is not in line with etiquette!
Even if His Highness the Crown Prince is the biological prince of Concubine Xiao Shu, according to etiquette, if His Highness the Crown Prince is accompanying him, he should ride on the side of the Emperor and the Empress.
Li Hong, who had just sat on the horse, saw three government officials standing in front of the horse's head, each one asking bitterly. In desperation, he had no choice but to jump off the horse again: "Can I walk?"
"this… ."
"Stop talking like this. If the three of you are here again, my father and mother's chariots will enter the imperial city." Li Zhe jumped over from the side and pointed impatiently at the mighty cavalry. With the royal guard of honor, he said to scare the three of them.
The three of them looked at Li Hong, then looked at the reins that were still in their hands, and had no choice but to turn around and run back. Before leaving, they did not forget to tell Li Hong: "Your Highness, please remember to do this. This is inconsistent with etiquette. Your Majesty and Li Hong will not let go." It’s the queen who respects you.”
After waiting for the officials from the Taipu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the Honglu Temple to leave, Li Zhe wandered between the carriages of Li Hong and Xiao Shufei with a shy face, trying to attract Li Hong's attention with practical actions.
"If you've wandered enough, just follow." Li Hong got on his horse again. At this moment, the last members of the royal guard of honor began to leave. If they didn't move, they would be at the rear of the guard of honor.
Li Dan obediently opened the carriage window, making it easier for Concubine Xiao Shu to talk to the two royal brothers riding the horse.
"Mother and concubine, I am really busy these days. You have also seen that if I didn't bother here today, how could I have been so famous today? My reputation in the Tang Dynasty needs to be spread far and wide. As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, I naturally want to... "
"These are all my errands, okay? I don't care, I have to go." Li Zhe exposed Li Hong's unintentional words on the spot and looked back at Li Hong's glare.
"Where do you want to go, Zhe'er?" Concubine Xiao Shu keenly discovered that it would be easier to start with Li Zhe than to start with the white-eyed wolf.
"Of course I want to go to Nanzhao, but the emperor doesn't allow me to go, so I still hope that my mother and concubine can help me..."
"There is no need to discuss this matter. You must stay in Chang'an to get married. Why would a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty run away all the time?" Li Hong directly vetoed it before Li Zhe finished speaking, so as to avoid Concubine Xiao Shu's embarrassment.
"So, Li Sujie and others are also in Bashu?" Concubine Xiao Shu's originally indifferent eyes became a little sharp.
