It was the first time for the audience to hear crosstalk, let alone Guo Degang's crosstalk. Just a few small jokes were enough to make them laugh non-stop. Even Li Shiming was laughing heartily at this moment. A few women covered their mouths, afraid that they would laugh out loud.
The few of them felt that this so-called crosstalk was much better than those songs and dances. Even watching the performance of the royal singers and dancers was not as interesting as this crosstalk.
Looking at these people's smiles, Li Yin felt as if he was looking at white silver.
After the show ended, the nobles in the palace shouted," One more!"
Although these two crosstalk actors had prepared a total of two acts, it was impossible for Li Yin to ask them to return. Come back tomorrow!
Moreover, these people had had enough fun. It was time to cool them down.
After the two crosstalk actors left, Liu Yue, who was wearing a cheongsam, walked onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am the host, Liu Yue. Before the next program, I would like to tell everyone a story.”" It's extremely cold," Liu Yue said in a low voice." It's snowing and it's getting dark." It was the last day of the year, New Year's Eve. On this cold and dark night, an obedient little girl was walking barefoot on the street. She was still wearing a pair of straw sandals when she came out of the house, but what was the use? It was a pair of large straw sandals-so large that her mother had always worn them. When she crossed the road, two carriages rushed over at high speed, scaring her so much that she ran away with her shoes. One was nowhere to be found, and the other was picked up by a boy and ran away. The little girl had no choice but to walk barefoot. Her feet were red and blue from the cold. She was carrying a bundle of firewood on her thin back. Throughout the day, no one had bought a single piece of wood from her, and no one had given her a single copper coin. Poor little girl! Cold and hungry, she walked forward, trembling. The snowflakes fell on her long hair, which looked beautiful in curls over her shoulders, but she did not notice them. Lights were coming in from every window, and there was the smell of food in the streets, because it was New Year's Eve-she couldn't forget that..."
A revised version of " The Little Match Girl " caused the scene to fall into silence. Empress Zhangsun and a few other women wiped their tears. As for those men, they could not help but sink into their memories. Back then, the locust plague was not as tragic as this.
Liu Yue continued," Fortunately, the Great Tang is now under His Majesty's rule. The weather is good, and the country is peaceful. However, there are still all kinds of unfortunate things that happen in places that we can't see. The Emperor and the Empress were merciful and could not bear to see the people suffer. The Prince of Liang had already sought the Emperor and the Empress's agreement. In the future, if the Entertainment City did not receive a single guest, the Emperor would take out five wen from the palace treasury to help those homeless children. The next song," The Little Girl Selling Firewood," was dedicated to everyone. At the same time, I wish every child in the world a home to return to and that such unfortunate things would never happen again.”
After Liu Yue finished speaking, she bowed and slowly retreated.
Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged, but Empress Zhangsun was still crying. As for donating money? They had never heard of it before, but their good mental fortitude prevented them from showing it.
In contrast, Li Shimin understood Li Yin's thoughts better. He knew that Li Yin didn't want to take this kind of reputation from him, so he pushed it to him.
Li Shiming was very satisfied with this. As the emperor, he was not afraid of having too many good reputations.
After the song was sung, everyone realized that the song with this strange tune sounded quite good, but it was a little sad.
As for Empress Zhangsun, Consort Yang Shu, and the other womenfolk, they hated Li Yin to death, making themselves cry and laugh.
After a song, it was Liu Yue's turn.
"The next song is very special. It's not that the lyrics themselves are special, but that the person who sang it is special. Now, let us give a round of applause to the warriors who followed Duke Wei to attack Yin Mountain at night!”
As soon as Liu Yue finished speaking, a few men in military uniforms walked up. There were a total of four people, one in front and three behind.
When the four of them saw the beautiful Liu Yue in a cheongsam, they were a little shy and did not dare to look at her.
These four people were the soldiers who had escorted Xiao Tian back to Chang 'an.
Liu Yue was quite generous. She said to the few of them,"Guys, can you introduce yourselves?”
The leader said," My name is Huang Qishan. These three were my subordinates. This is Huang Xiaowu, my nephew. This is Qin Xi, and this is Liu Tieniu.”
"Hello, Huang Qishan. I've always yearned to hear about the three thousand warriors who attacked Yin Mountain at night and destroyed Peckham. Can you tell me the story? Also, your nephew seems to have some problems with his legs. Did he get injured during the war?”
"Alright, let's talk about my nephew first. Back then, the war was very bitter and the weather was very cold. Four of Little Five's toes were frozen off, and now he can't even walk properly. As for the night raid on Yin Mountain…"
After Huang Qishan finished telling the story, Liu Yue asked,""How's your life now? His Majesty, the Empress, Duke Wei, and all the generals are here. Do you have any difficulties? If you say it, everyone will definitely help you solve it.”
Huang Qishan shook his head." It's not difficult at all. Life is very good now. It's just that…"
"What is it?" Liu Yue asked.
"It's just that I haven't had the chance to go into battle to kill the enemy in the past few years. My hands are itching. I'm afraid that in a few years, I'll be old, my horses will be stable, and I won't be able to hold my saber.”Huang Qishan sighed.
Liu Yue smiled." I can't help but want to refute your words. Perhaps it's because I'm a woman. I don't like war because war will kill people. It will bring pain and disaster to people.”
Huang Qishan said in a sonorous and forceful voice," The barbarians have plundered the Central Plains and invaded the Han Family's territory. Countless people in the frontier fortress are suffering from the plunder. So many Han Family men on the grasslands are being driven by others! If we don't flatten these barbarians, how can we show the might of the Great Tang!”
"Good, well said!" Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up. He had laughed at the first crosstalk performance and was satisfied with the second performance. However, what satisfied him the most was Huang Qishan's words.
At this moment, music started playing and Liu Yue quietly left.
"Smoke rises, mountains and rivers look north…"
When everyone heard this, they emphasized it strangely. However, this song was sung with lyrics after all, so it was easier for them to accept it. Although it was still a little strange to sing such a graceful and restrained lyrics so boldly, and it was even sung by a man. However, for some reason, everyone who heard this song felt their blood rush up and wanted to sing along.
By the time the four of them sang for the second time, some people were already humming along.
