Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

Qi Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded slightly.

It seems that Hongyu is really obsessed with music and dance, and this kind of stage form does not humiliate her.

"Is she here?"

Emperor Nanqi called over Minister Cao and asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Lady Yue has already sent someone to urge them, they should be here soon."

Sweat was pouring down Minister Cao's neck.

My reply would be extremely treasonous. His Majesty has already arrived, but the protagonist is still on the way. Can his head still stay on his neck?

"No hurry. Isn't there palace music and dance ahead? She has enough time."

When Qi Yi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and his expression was surprisingly gentle.

Minister Cao's heart seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the ground.

How could Your Majesty be so understanding of the difficulties faced by your subjects?

Or, maybe I am being too indulgent to this matchmaker!

It seems that it is worthwhile to work harder.

After tonight, I will be able to board Hongniang's big boat, and I will be able to get whatever I want!

With the approval of Emperor Nanqi, the music and dance celebration was announced to begin on time.

Inspired by the folk music troupe, the palace's music and dance also performed at the highest level. The six pieces of music and dance were both passionate and tender, and the audience was full of praise.

"This year's music and dance are much better than before. It seems like a lot of effort has been put into it!"

"Look at that one, the one playing the zither, she must be the daughter of the Minister of Industry."

"And the one leading the dance just now is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I heard that she is going to discuss marriage with the eldest prince."

"Who told you that? The eldest prince hasn't appeared in the court for nearly a year. I wonder where he is now."

"Why don't you see Concubine Zhao?"

"Also, why didn't any of the masters in the harem come today? They didn't show up to celebrate His Majesty's birthday. Is that why?"

"It should be because of Lady Hong. Isn't it said that His Majesty has been obsessed with Lady Hong for more than ten years? Lady Hong is performing a dance today, and they are not coming. It must be His Majesty's intention!"

"So, starting tomorrow, Nanqi will have a queen?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How dare you say such things in this situation?"

In the stands, people from various prefectures were enjoying the music and dance while also discussing the matter quietly.

The slight movement behind him did not affect Emperor Nanqi's good mood.

Tang Zhi walked back and forth backstage without stopping, until he saw the red figure walking towards him casually, and his heart finally settled down.

He ran to report to Minister Cao, his mouth corners almost pulled to his cheeks, and a large blister was extremely conspicuous.

Minister Cao happily signaled to Eunuch Hu beside Emperor Nanqi and hurried to report the situation behind the scenes. Eunuch Hu nodded with satisfaction.

After the court music and dance ended, there was a break for tea. Some people in the stands stood up and moved around, but they didn't dare to make loud noises or walk far away.

Emperor Nanqi felt very comfortable sitting in the luxurious chair and was very fond of the cold dishes served by Tianyi Restaurant.

Although there were a lot of ice cubes in the hall, he couldn't help but want to try it when he saw the people next to him eating the food from Tianyi Restaurant and sighing.

"Is this a cold drink from Tianyi Restaurant?"

He asked Minister Cao with great interest.

"Your Majesty, yes. Today, Tianyi Restaurant specially arranged for ice tea and ice cream to be delivered. Everyone is very satisfied. They have been tested for poison. You can try them."

Emperor Nan Qi picked up a cup of iced tea, and the cool feeling in his mouth made him feel very comfortable.

"Yes, Tianyi Restaurant always has some fresh food. When I was still outside the palace, I often went there to eat. It has been several months since I last went there. I miss its taste a little."

"Your Majesty, Tianyi Restaurant now has a take-out business. If you want to eat, you can ask them to deliver it to the palace."

Eunuch Hu quickly responded that this little matter would not be difficult for him.

"Okay, let them send me some new dishes tomorrow. I'm a little tired of the palace dishes."

"Yes!"

"What are they doing? Is this what you call stage design?"

Emperor Nanqi looked at Minister Cao who was half-kneeling in front of him and asked with great interest.

"It should be. They prepared these in advance. The stage backgrounds are designed according to different songs. The next song is "Ten Sides of Ambush" led by Yue Niangzi, and the next one is the song led by Hong Niangzi. Today, each of them will lead two songs."

Minister Cao replied excitedly.

He has been working very hard these days, taking care of everything personally, and is very familiar with the music and dance process.

"Mrs. Moon?"

Qi Yi was in a good mood and it was quite interesting to chat with him.

"Yes, the owner of Nanqi Qianmai Music House, Lady Yue. This year she is unique, and Lady Hong is also her match. The two of them agreed to compete in dancing."

"Oh? This is quite interesting."

"What is the origin of this Yue lady?"

Emperor Nanqi's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and the lines at the corners of his mouth also slightly converged.

"Qianmai Music House is also an asset of Qianmai Palace. It recently opened in Nanqi and made a splash at the dance competition. I heard that Lady Hong and Lady Yue became close friends because of the dance."

Minister Cao quickly reported to His Majesty the news he had learned recently.

"The Qianmai Palace's industry? That's right, you should take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Qianmai Palace. Although they are in the underworld, their power should not be underestimated."

"As ordered."

Qi Yi narrowed his eagle eyes.

Qianliu Mountain, Qianmai Palace.

If these two forces can be used for their own benefit, then Nanqi will no longer be confined to a corner and will be able to dominate the world in the near future.

Lady Hong, you are truly my lucky star!

You brought me into contact with Qianmai Palace through dancing, and found me an opportunity to get to know Qianmai Palace, which really was a great achievement for me.

A cup of tea is neither long nor short. While others are chatting, many actions are happening silently in secret.

A rhythmic and melodious music sounded, bringing people's wandering thoughts back.

Slowly, from scattered to faster, from melodious to rapid, the music and dance led everyone into the mighty battle between two strong forces. Even Emperor Nanqi's face was filled with excitement.

Iron horses and war trumpets, isn't that what he wants in his heart and dreams?

The people in the hall were in high spirits. The pipa played a magnificent battle scene. The sounds of gold, drums, swords and crossbows were pleasant to the ears, stirring up lofty ambitions in everyone's hearts.

Hundreds of swords are ingeniously arranged above the stage, half-hanging on the stage, flashing cold light, implying fear, anxiety and violence, and giving a sense of oppression as if a disaster is about to happen. It has become the most eye-catching stage design, making people feel as if they are immersed in the scene.

Does desire give rise to fear, or does fear feed desire?

The answer to this question is different in everyone's mind.

You ambush me, I ambush you.

Throughout the ages, the ambush has never stopped...

The music and dance ended with thunderous applause. The chief pipa player walked to the front of the stage and bowed deeply to all the participating artists. The atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.

"Minister Cao, you did a good job. This year's music and dance are indeed unique. Such a grand scene is rare and cannot be performed at a palace banquet. This is what you call the stage effect, right?"

Qi Yi had not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. He was quite excited and did not hesitate to praise the Minister of Rites for his hard work.

"That's right, Your Majesty. This effect really needs a stage to set off the background. The scene is integrated into the music and dance, making people feel as if they are in the scene."

"Very good. When this is over, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
