"I heard that the Sixi Troupe in the capital is considered half a royal troupe. The costumes must be exquisite. I wonder how they compare with those in Yuanning County." Yu Hongdou looked dreamy.

In her heart, she wanted to slap herself twice. She had been living too smoothly in the past few years and she couldn't even keep her temper!

Yu Hongdou felt that she must be out of her mind. Otherwise, how could she dare to spy on the emperor even though she knew that he was in front of her?

"The Sixi Troupe was separated from Prince Cheng's Mansion. They perform for the powerful and wealthy families in the capital, so their costumes are naturally of the best quality." Emperor Anhe looked at the innocent face of the little girl, as if he was overthinking?

Prince Cheng was the only surviving brother of Emperor Anhe. He had no real power and only loved pleasure.

Seeing that she had successfully fooled the guy, Yu Hongdou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He happened to see the stage in front of him on the right, opened his mouth in surprise, and asked stumblingly, "Are the costumes of the Sixi Troupe more expensive than this?"

“…” An Hedi also saw it and felt like he was slapped in the face.

On the stage, they were singing the scene before the Imperial Noble Consort entered the palace.

The Imperial Concubine came from a noble family and did not want her daughter to be someone's concubine, even if the man was the emperor, so she arranged a marriage for her with a family of equal status.

At this time, the Imperial Concubine's mother was persuading her daughter, and the scene was naturally the Imperial Concubine's boudoir.

The setting of the boudoir is just an ordinary set, but the props used by the imperial concubine's mother to persuade her daughter to become a legitimate wife are amazing.

It was a set of phoenix coronet and shawl.

The phoenix crown is made of pure gold threads and is decorated with two dragons and four phoenixes. Not to mention the exquisite workmanship, the pearls and gems inlaid on it are all as big as dragon eyes.

This is not the most amazing thing. The wedding dress made of bright red palace brocade is the most important thing.

According to the regulations of the previous dynasty, red palace brocade could only be used by officials of the third rank and above.

Although people in the folks believe that weddings can be violated, the red palace brocade is a gift from the palace that cannot be purchased even if you have money.

This phoenix crown and veil is even more precious and gorgeous than the one worn by the empress at Emperor Anhe’s wedding.

An Hedi's face looked a little unhappy.

This act is different from that of the Sixi Troupe. The Sixi Troupe had to take into consideration the imperial censors and the empress in the capital, so they only performed this scene with a red cloth and a phoenix coronet and cloak.

Here, as if to show off, the two maids on the stage picked up the wedding dress and phoenix crown and walked around the stage.

The gems and pearls on the golden phoenix crown shine brightly, and under the reflection of the light, they seem to dazzle people's eyes.

The Zhenghong Palace brocade, which was said to be worth one ounce of gold for every inch of brocade, was embroidered with dragons and phoenixes and inlaid with pearls and gems, making it extremely luxurious.

Yu Hongdou didn't get an answer from An Hedi, but she got a wish from her father: "Dad must let my precious daughter wear this dress when she gets married in the future."

Emperor An He looked at Yu Sanlang speechlessly after coming back to his senses. Then he looked at the little girl who looked very touched and muttered vaguely, "That's a nice thought."

Yu Song heard it in a daze, and glanced at Emperor Anhe from behind. His sister was born with a destiny of the highest rank, and even the emperor could not go against the will of heaven. He was waiting to see this person make a fool of himself.

……

When we arrived at the stage, we saw the Peng family who were hosting a buffet.

The servant of the Peng family greeted them with a smile: "Are you distinguished guests from out of town?"

"How did you know we were from other places?" Yu Sanlang was puzzled. Was the Peng family's servant so good at seeing?

The Peng family servant laughed and said, "It's good to let the master know that if talents like you were locals, my master would have known them long ago."

Another servant replied: "My master loves making friends the most."

"Would you like to leave your calligraphy?" The servant knew his limits and only chatted for a few words to show respect before getting straight to the point.

"Can I stay too?" Yu Hongdou raised her hand and asked.

"Of course, as long as the distinguished guests are willing, it will be an honor for our Peng family." Perhaps someone went to report, and a fat, white, middle-aged man dressed in silk came over.

He just happened to hear Yu Hongdou's words, and with a smile on his face he bowed and greeted Yu Sanlang and others.

"I am Peng Guanlin, the fourth in the Peng family, and I am here to greet all the distinguished guests."

After exchanging pleasantries, Peng Guanlin led the group to the place where they were to leave their calligraphy.

"This was set up by my father's generation to pray for my grandfather. Since the elders in my family like to make friends, the villagers also give face, so our Peng family held a banquet in such a ostentatious way, mainly to repay everyone's kindness."

Peng Guanlin was very good at speaking. He pointed to the desk that was more than ten meters long and explained humbly but proudly.

"It's a good thing." Emperor An He was not disgusted, and even had a little good impression of the Peng family.

He's lived to be eighty, his family still has money, and he can throw a buffet without looking down on others. What's there to complain about?

Emperor Anhe was the first to step forward and took a closer look at the long scroll on the desk.

The longevity characters of all sizes on the scroll were written in varying degrees of quality, some with good style while others were crooked, but they formed a unique sense of beauty.

"Uncle, I heard that those who write well will receive extra gifts, is that right?" Yu Hongdou thought that since she was already here, she might as well get a souvenir to take back.

"Yes, little girl, if you stand out, my great-grandfather will meet you in person and give you birthday peaches." Peng Guanlin laughed when he saw Yu Hongdou's stubborn look.

Is this little girl a little too confident?

"Okay." Yu Hongdou nodded, ignoring An Hedi and the others. She looked at the table next to the desk where pens and ink were placed, found a brush, and started writing with ink.

As they were moving, an evergreen pine tree appeared on top of their head, with a crane holding a piece of grass in its mouth. Below them were two longevity peaches, one large and one small. The word "Shou" (longevity) with both the picture and the word on it appeared in front of everyone.

"Good! The little girl is really amazing!"

There were people watching the fun nearby. They were a little worried when they saw that Yu Hongdou was not stage-frightened at such a young age and picked up the brush to write. But when they saw the word "Shou", they couldn't help but applaud and praise her.

"That's right, I'll join in the fun too." When An Hedi saw Yu Hongdou's half-painted longevity character, he felt envious and his hands started to itch.

He picked up the brush, thought for a moment, and then wrote the word "Shou" in cursive script.

Yu Song and Yu Sanlang each wrote one, which was not outstanding, but better than the others on the paper.

When Peng Guanlin saw Yu Hongdou putting pen to paper, he knew that these people must be no ordinary people. He winked at the people around him, and soon someone went in to report.

When Yu Sanlang finished painting, someone from the inner house came out to greet him. He personally held up the word "Shou" painted by Yu Hongdou and led the Yu family and Emperor An He into the inner courtyard.

From the main gate to the inner house, Yu Hongdou saw more than ten green beams of light and was amazed. The Peng family was really powerful.

But all the admiration along the way was nothing compared to the shock she felt when she stood in the main hall and saw the sign-in location floating faintly on the floor tile in the center of the hall.
