After the congratulatory speech, they all sat down and began to tune the piano. They had already agreed that Princess Anping and Princess Changping would play the main tune, Red Cloud would be the lead singer, and Liu Ruyan and Su Mengmei would sing along. Moreover, the three of them would also play the zither song when they sang along.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight,(trio chorus).
She swallowed her words.
Mom, I want to smile at you.
However, there were tears in her eyes.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight,"”
Your black hair is covered in frost.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight.”
Your face is imprinted with so much concern.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight,"”
Your waist is no longer tall and straight.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight,"”
Why did your eyes lose their luster?
Mother, my daughter has grown up.
I don't want to hold your lapel and walk through spring, autumn, winter and summer.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight,"”
Your waist is no longer tall and straight.
Mama O, Mama in the candlelight,"”
Why did your eyes lose their luster?
Mother, when my daughter grows up.
I don't want to hold your lapel and walk through spring, autumn, winter and summer.
Mama O, trust me,"Chorus."
Children had their own way of repaying.
Mama O, believe me," Chorus.”
Children had their own way of repaying.
When they finished singing the song, more than half of the people below the stage were crying silently. The madams were the most touched, and even the Empress Dowager's eyes were red. The Empress Dowager said to the people on the stage,"It seems that the servant girls have spent some effort. Aijia has a reward!" Who is Yun 'Er?" It turned out that the emperor told the empress dowager that the lyrics were written by Yun Caixia, so there was this question.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, this commoner is.”Yun Xia hurriedly stood up and bowed her head as she replied.
"Girl, raise your head and let aijia see.”The empress dowager said with a pleasant face. In Yunxia's ears, it was as if she heard her grandmother talking, and she felt very close. Therefore, she boldly raised her head and looked straight at the Empress Dowager. The empress dowager saw a pair of clear eyes looking at her fearlessly.
"Girl, I heard that this song was composed by you. Can you do a few lines on the spot?”The Empress Dowager liked it very much and deliberately made a request.
" This,..." Yun Xia thought as she spoke. She thought of a birthday couplet written by a famous scholar for others and decided to borrow it,""Well then, I'll embarrass myself here. The Empress Dowager is not human." At this point, he deliberately paused for a moment, and everyone turned pale with fright. Especially Yun Zaitian and his wife, as well as the people around the empress dowager and the emperor. Eunuch Wang was already pointing at Yun Xia and was about to rebuke her.
"The Nine Heavenly Maiden descended to the mortal world." Yun Xia said again, and everyone smiled as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
"So Your Majesty is a thief." The moment he said this, it frightened everyone even more.
"I stole the Peaches of Immortality from the Jade Lake and presented them to the Empress Dowager for her birthday.”Red Cloud looked at everyone and said calmly,""The whole world is celebrating, thousands of years, thousands of years, the country is rich and the people are strong. Good weather shows the hearts of the people, sympathize with the people's feelings to see a wise monarch.”
When Yun Xia finished speaking, everyone was beaming with joy. The Empress Dowager was especially satisfied.
"If Empress Dowager doesn't find it annoying, Cai Xia can sing it with the zither.”Yun Xia looked at the Empress Dowager and said with a smile.
"Alright, alright!" The empress dowager nodded repeatedly and praised.
The Empress Dowager was not human?
The Nine Heavenly Maiden descended to the mortal world.
His Majesty was a thief?
I stole the peaches of immortality from the Jade Pool.
To the Empress Dowager on her birthday.
The whole world rejoiced.
A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years.
The country is rich and the people are strong. They obey the will of the people.
Good weather shows the hearts of the people.
I sympathize with the people's feelings and see a wise king.
Long live, long live, long live.
When the song was over, the Empress Dowager asked Yunxia with a smile,""Girl, I'm really happy. Tell me what you want and I'll agree to it.”
Yun Xia thought of her plan to form the Feng army. She thought that she should take this opportunity to say it. Even if it was useless, it would be fine. So she bowed and said,"Cai Xia thanks the Empress Dowager for her kindness. I don't want any reward." I only hope that if the Empress Dowager is annoyed in the future, I can ask Cai Xia to relieve your boredom.”The reason why she said this was because she thought about her own matters. It was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. At this time, he could not delay the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration.
"Aiya, Yun 'Er is so thoughtful. Aijia is waiting for you to enter the palace. Since that's the case, take this jade pendant. In the future, when he came to Changle Palace, he could take out the jade pendant and travel freely.”The Empress Dowager was very happy to hear Yun Xia's words. She took out a jade pendant and handed it to Yun Xia. When Yun Xia heard the Empress Dowager's words, she was also very happy and hurriedly thanked her. He took the jade pendant and looked at it. It was a white jade pendant. There were no carvings on it, but there was a naturally formed, fiery red phoenix that was about to fly. It was embedded in the transparent white jade. He used his hand to brush the jade surface, but it was warm and smooth, without leaving a trace. Yun Xia took a closer look at the jade pendant. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew it was a good thing. At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly came to find Eunuch Wang and whispered a few words to him. Eunuch Wang waved his hand and dismissed the eunuch. He hurriedly reported to the Emperor in a low voice. The Emperor's face lit up as he stood up and walked towards the Empress Dowager, saying in a low voice,"Mother, watch the show. I'll be right back.”
Next, they listened to several plays such as "Guo Ziyi's Birthday" and "She Taijun's Expedition". It was time for dinner. The Empress Dowager issued an edict to ask the ladies to stay for the birthday banquet. He especially told Red Cloud and the others to stay behind. The civil and military officials were summoned to Taihe Palace by the Emperor to discuss important matters.
It turned out that during this period of time, the Emperor had sent the Prince of Yan (Prince Long Xiang) to go on a private visit and had just returned. It was said that the disaster in Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningsia and the surrounding areas was serious. It was either a flood or a drought, resulting in a reduction in grain production. Some areas had no harvest, and many people had left their homes and become homeless. It was not uncommon for people to sell their children. After Emperor Xuanwu heard his son Long Xiang's words, he was furious because all the memorials had said that everything was safe and sound. The memorials sent by the local officials of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Liaoning were especially untrue.
Recently, several ministers had said that a large number of refugees had flooded into the capital. General Yun Zaitian had explained it in the most detail. He said that there were refugees in the capital, and there were definitely refugees in the local areas. He also said that he was most worried that a large number of refugees would affect the stability of the local area and even the stability of the country. The emperor felt uneasy, but he told Yun Zaitian,""Minister Yun is exaggerating a little. I don't see any memorials mentioning the refugees. Could it be that they came out of nowhere?”Yun Zaitian said indifferently,""Seeing is believing. Why doesn't the emperor send people to investigate in the capital?”In view of this, the Emperor did not spread the news, but secretly left the palace himself and came to the streets of the capital to secretly investigate. He found that there were indeed many refugees. He learned that most of the refugees came from the affected areas of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Liaoning. After returning to the palace, the Emperor asked the King of Yan to observe the people's situation on his behalf. This time, he left the palace for several months. Even though memorials were sent back, the imperial court still sent out some relief food intermittently. The Emperor still felt uneasy and felt that the small memorial could not explain the situation in detail.
In Taihe Palace, the Emperor asked the King of Yan to tell the ministers what he had seen and heard. The ministers had all kinds of reactions. Some whispered to each other, some remained silent, and some turned pale with fright. The Emperor's face was full of anger as he shouted,"Beloved ministers! Did you hear me clearly? What, you guys have nothing to say? And those local officials, how did their parents become officials?”"Your Majesty, please calm down! We have failed in our duties! Your Majesty, please punish me!" All the officials knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
