Chapter Three Hundred
Han Yi first performed this drama for poor children in Fengfei Tower. For poor children, the love between common people and nobles is a cool drama!
However, now the emperor asked Han Yi to perform this drama in front of a group of nobles, which made him feel uncomfortable. It is undeniable that the drama is very exciting, but many people always feel that it is weird.¥f.¥f
Two hours passed quietly, and the red cloth slowly fell amid applause.
Li Zhi even generously gave Meng'er, who each of Mengting had fifty pieces of silk, which was more than those in the sketch.
Even if the response from this drama is far less than the passionate sketches.
Overall, this banquet was very successful.
These princes and nobles left the venue one after another, and when they left the hall, they could hear whispers.
"What is this drama? How can this commoner intermarry with the nobles?"
"Yes, do we have to report to impeach Feng Feilou?"
"You two think about it more. The drama didn't appear today. Will Your Majesty not know?"
"What do you mean?"
"I advise you not to act rashly. This is not that simple."
"Brother Cui, what do you think of Your Majesty's intention in this move?"
"Who knows."
"But I don't think it's that simple."
"Even if it's not simple, it has nothing to do with us. The one who has a headache should be the uncle and the others."
"That's true."
"Haha, now the uncle and the others must be restless."
"Not to it."
"Your Majesty is your Majesty after all, and your subject is your subject. Should we add a little fire?"
"Now I don't know anything, so don't till this muddy water, be careful to get angry!"
In a room in Paiyun Hall, there was a burst of fragrance. I saw Fengfei Tower and others sitting around a large long table. They were all delicious. Although they could not compare with those princes and nobles, they would eat much better than ordinary palace prostitutes. The treatment also reached the level of a second-class palace banquet.
Han Yi stood up, held the wine glass and said, "Congratulations on our first successful performance. I am proud of you. Cheers."
"Oh oh oh!"
Brother Xiong swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up the wine glass and stood up.
Meng'er smiled and said, "This is thanks to Brother Xiaoyi's promotion. If it weren't for Brother Xiaoyi, we wouldn't have the chance to perform in front of His Majesty. This cup should be our respect for Brother Xiaoyi."
Brother Xiong was excited when he was eating. He raised his glass forward and said excitedly: "Brother Han, Xiaopang is proud of you and respect you."
This fat man! Han Yi smiled and said, "Did it, do it."
After drinking a glass of wine, everyone was able to eat a lot under Xiaopang's leadership.
After eating for a while, the short eunuch suddenly walked in and said, "Han Yi. Have you finished eating?"
Han Yi hurriedly stood up and said, "It's over. Is there anything wrong with Young Master Zhang?"
It was obvious that he had not finished eating, but he asked this question. Han Yi could not say that he had not finished eating. Although this short eunuch was a disabled person, he was not a small person. He was a young supervisor of the Ministry of Eunuchs, with his surname Zhang.
Zhang Shaojian said: "Oh, Your Majesty sent me to see if you have finished your meal. If you have finished eating, go to the dressing room. Your Majesty wants to see you."
His tone was also very polite. This fool could tell that Han Yi was now highly valued by the emperor, so he had to see if he had finished eating. In other words, he could wait until he finished eating before going.
Of course, Han Yi would not continue to eat, so he quickly walked out with Zhang Shaojian.
After a stick of incense, Han Yi came to the front of a grand, three-story building.
After Zhang Shaojian went in and reported, Han Yi walked in and went up the second floor. He saw Li Zhi sitting on the couch with his legs curled up and erected his knees, sitting very casually. A top-notch royal sister sat next to him, wearing a pleated flower skirt. Although the strapless breasts were relatively high, you could vaguely see the deep groove, which was very spectacular.
Han Yi didn't dare to glance around randomly, and when he was performing his salute, he looked at him in a hidden way.
"No gifts, sit down!"
Li Zhi pointed to a stool beside him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Han Yi sat down.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Han Yi, I am very satisfied with your Feng Feilou performance. I just gave me rewards one by one, but only one person was missing. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Han Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty has already won Han Yi, and Han Yi dare not give it to you anymore."
Li Zhi said in surprise: "When will I reward you?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "If you say goodbye to Your Majesty, I am just a businessman behind the scenes. As long as Meng'er and the others are glorious, it will naturally bring me a lot of benefits. In fact, the ability of Your Majesty to let us come here to perform is the greatest affirmation of Fengfei Tower and the supreme glory. It is already the best reward. In business, let alone the Majesty gave Meng'er and the others a lot of rewards, even if I asked me to pay, I would be willing to perform."
Wu Meiniang covered her lips and chuckled, saying, "You are really good at talking."
Just this smile was like a flowing eye wave, extremely charming. There was no sign of seduction. If he wanted to seduce, then few men would probably be able to bear it. I think this is why Li Shimin named her "Mei Niang".
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will never treat you badly."
Han Yi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Han Yi is very grateful."
Li Zhi coughed lightly and said, "I heard that the story of "White Life and Death Love" is what you think."
Han Yi nodded.
Li Zhi said curiously: "Why do you want to write a love story between a commoner and a gentry?"
Han Yi said frankly: "This is because I am a farmer, so I naturally yearn for being like Xiong Fei."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Wu Meiniang chuckled and said, "Do you also want to find a noble woman to be your wife?"
What I think is, is it okay? My wife is a woman who combines the bloodlines of the Three Emperors and One Queens. Of course, Han Yi would not say it and said, "I didn't mean to find a noble woman to be her wife, but if I meet someone I like and if the other party likes me, no matter whether she is a noble or a commoner, I will pursue it like Xiong Fei."
Li Zhi said, "Even if you dare to pursue it, the other party will not agree. Maybe you will cause trouble. This scholar and common people are separated from each other. Have you never heard of the same family?"
Of course I have heard it, I'm saying it to you if I'm saying it well. Han Yi said: "I've heard this, but I think everyone has the right to pursue their own love. So I don't think there is anything wrong with this."
“Is this not right?”
Li Zhi said a little curiously.
Han Yi said neither humble nor arrogantly: "When you say that, my drama is not against equality, but I think that the current equality is an extremism, not a real equality. Because love should have been born in equality, it happens naturally. A noble woman who is well-read and well-educated and knowledgeable and knowledgeable aristocratic woman cannot fall in love with a farmer who is ignorant of big words and is not well-dressed, because they have no common language, and love must be based on communication, and they cannot communicate. So where does love begin?"
Li Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "It's reasonable."
Han Yi continued: "It's like Xiong Fei and Ye Jingjing. Xiong Fei is a talented man. He is full of knowledge, has a humorous personality, and has excellent character. In terms of personal cultivation, he is completely worthy of Ye Jingjing. This is the real match. If the Ye family betrothed Ye Jingjing to a noble child who only knows how to eat, drink, and have no idea about ink, then Ye Jingjing will definitely not be happy. This is not a match. Therefore, character, interest, and self-cultivation are the real match. Just like Your Majesty and Wu Zhaoyi, you can tell that they are talented and beautiful men and beautiful women, and they are born with a pair of men."
"Okay. Took me to do something."
Wu Meiniang glared at her phoenix eyes, but her eyes were filled with joy.
Women like to be disagreeable, I won’t bother with you! Han Yi hurriedly said: “Han Yi is wronged for a moment, so please forgive me.”
Li Zhi laughed and said, "You can't count it wrong, and it makes sense. The real match is dependent on the cultivation, character, and interests of both parties, rather than just judging by one origin."
A hint of joy flashed in Wu Meiniang's eyes.
Li Zhi paused and said, "I didn't expect that you would have such an understanding at such a young age?"
Han Yi replied: "Your Majesty has been too much, but I think it has nothing to do with age. The definition of love is free. If you love, you love. If you don't love, you don't love. It's hard to force it. A person can deceive anyone, but he can never deceive himself."
Li Zhi smiled and nodded, and suddenly said, "By the way, I remember that in the fight against rebellion in Yangzhou last year, there was also a man named Han Yi who made great achievements in this battle. Is it you?"
Han Yi was delighted and said, "It's me."
Li Zhi said: "It is said that if you set up an empty city plan in Yangzhou, you will be scared to the rebels from attacking without spending a single soldier."
Han Yi said embarrassedly: "Actually, I used a few fake monks."
Li Zhi was stunned, laughed loudly, and said, "That's great too! I heard that you have made great contributions to this battle!"
Han Yi said: "Han Yi dared not take credit for this battle. I thought that Chen Shuozhen's rebel failure was just a matter of time. Under the rule of Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty has been peaceful and the people live and work in peace. No one wants to fight. Chen Shuozhen is fighting against all the people of the Tang Dynasty. It is true that those who have achieved enlightenment will have more help, and those who have lost their power will have few help. Her failure is destined, and all of this is His Majesty's credit."
This flattery is so vague. One word is great!
Li Zhi smiled and said to Wu Meiniang: "Look at this kid, this can be touched by me, it's true."
Wu Meiniang smiled slightly and said, "I also think Han Yi is right. Chen Shuo really cannot succeed."
"You also help him to cool me down."
Li Zhi smiled and said to Han Yi again: "But no matter what, you have defended the people of Yangzhou. If you have made a great contribution, the court should reward you."
Han Yi said: "I don't know this."
Li Zhi frowned slightly and said, "You don't know, how is this possible? Could it be that Yang Sine concealed your credit?"
"No."
Han Yi said: "I left Yangzhou before the reward came."
Li Zhi said curiously: "You know that the court will reward you, why do you want to leave Yangzhou at this time?"
Han Yi remained silent.
Li Zhi said: "Do you still want to hide it from me?"
"Han Yi deserves to die."
Han Yi suddenly stood up and bowed.
Li Zhi frowned and said, "What? Is there something else?"
Han Yi said: "Actually - I was actually demoted from Yangzhou."
"What?"
Li Zhi was shocked and said, "Why did you degrade from Yangzhou?"
Han Yi thought about it and said embarrassedly: "Because--because I beat the nobles."
