Volume 1 ◆ Chaos in the Imperial Harem 023 The Emperor... Performs!
"What, you want me to act?" Hong Feng raised his voice in disbelief, staring at the person in front of him.
A certain woman with a flattering face hugged her arm: "Yes, yes, auntie, we are short of one person and can't perform with just two people! This role is very important, ordinary people will definitely not be able to bring out this effect, so I can only trouble you!"
"No way, no way, I won't perform! How could I possibly have such skills?" Hong Feng hastily shook her head. What kind of play could she possibly act in? She was afraid that in the end, she would only make people laugh out loud!
Su Jinping's expression turned serious: "Aunt, this is the emperor's decree. He wants me to perform a play with Ye Wang on his birthday, and of course, we want to make him happy on his special day. If you refuse to perform, won't that ruin the emperor's festive mood?"
On the surface, she was cunning and clever, but in her eyes, there was a deeper meaning. If Hong Feng was indeed sent by Huang Fu Huai Han to monitor her, she would be extremely loyal and should have agreed immediately! Before long, the result came out...
Hong Maple hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Alright, I'll join you young folks in this mess!"
"Thank you so much!" Indeed, it was Huangfu Huichen's person!
A woman with a grateful and tearful expression gazed into the void: "Actually, there are still a few more roles left, let's wait for Night King to arrive before saying anything!"
"Uh-huh!" Hong Feng nodded slightly nervously.
……
"Brother, why did you let her off last night?" The next morning, Huang Fu Ye followed Huang Fu Huai Han to the imperial study.
Deep purple eyes flickered, walking slowly to the window, the purple gold dragon robe shone with a faint light under the sunlight, just like those deep eyes: "What do you think?"
As soon as these four words came out, the person fanning himself froze his hand, "Pa!" A sound, put away the folding fan: "Imperial brother, maybe she just accidentally broke in, I think she is not sent by Su Nianhua." Yesterday saw her scolding the prime minister, can see some clues.
His hand gently rested on the windowsill, his cold thin lips curled up: "If I really suspected she was Su Nianhua's person, she would have been a corpse yesterday. Keeping her, of course, still has its uses."
Is there any use? Huangfu Ye furrowed his brow, pondering the meaning of these words. Suddenly, a strange purple light flashed in his eyes: "Brother Huang, I understand what you mean, but... she may not agree!"
"Hmph, unwilling? I'll make her willing!" The hand on the windowsill exerted some force, and the incomparably handsome face was full of confidence, as if to say that any decision made by Huangfu Huachan would be obeyed by all!
Huang Fu let out a soft sigh, knowing that he couldn't change his brother's decision, and so didn't say anything more. "Brother Huang, about the performance..." The beautiful face with an otherworldly charm was instantly filled with flattery.
"You can either put on a good show or go to the temple for a few days, choose for yourself!" After that, she didn't say another word, her dark purple eyes showing obvious smile lines.
Huang Pu's mouth twitched violently, going to the ancestral temple for a few days? Those old guys didn't know how to torture him, they would definitely drill into him day and night on how to behave as a prince of a country, not... and so on! He reckoned that after staying there for a few days, he would transform from the most absurd prince in Quandongling to the most proper and decent prince under heaven!
The emperor brother is really good at poking the weak points!
He gritted his teeth: "Imperial brother, you handle the government affairs, I'll take my leave first!" His face was full of reluctant flavor.
"Wait, remember to investigate the relationship between Shangguan Jinrui and that woman!" He instructed before leaving.
"Shangguan Jinru? Imperial brother, did you find something wrong?" Huangfu Ye was somewhat puzzled, how could Xiao Jinjin be related to that smiling tiger?
Withdraw your hand, several fingerprints have already appeared on the windowsill, piercing through the wood. "No, but I feel that something is not right!"
Although Huangfu Ye did not understand, he still opened his mouth and replied: "Your younger brother obeys the order!"
"Alright, go ahead!"
……
With a gloomy face, he arrived at the Jingren Palace and saw Su Jinping standing at the door from afar. Her expectant expression was like that of a wife waiting for her husband to return home. A wife waiting for her husband to return home? For some reason, thinking of this phrase made him feel inexplicably warm.
"Xiao Jinjin, is this how you miss your king?" He said with a teasing tone as he walked closer.
Grabbing his sleeve and dragging him away: "So much nonsense, watch out for my fist!"
Rubbed his nose, this little girl, still got an inch! Does he really think that being a national prince is to be bullied by anyone? But also couldn't bear to blame her, smiled and honestly followed behind her.
"Hey, this is the script, and these are the clothes you're supposed to wear!" Su Jinping tossed the script at him, followed by a piece of clothing.
Holding the garment, his mouth twitched uncontrollably and his face turned slightly dark: "Little Jinjin, where did this clothes come from?" But that's not the point, the point is, why does he want to wear this dress?
"Don't even ask about this, you should be grateful to have clothes to wear! By the way, tomorrow when you enter the palace for rehearsal, remember to bring me a set of men's clothing." Su Jinping ordered without even looking at him.
Hong Feng suddenly stuttered: "Su Jinping, was that outfit prepared for the king to wear?" She had originally thought it was Su Jinping's own clothes, but in this script, the role of the king is going to be played by...
He... swallowed hard, I'm afraid the prince won't agree, will he?
Huang Pu's face turned black as he opened the script, read a few lines, and then fiercely threw it at Su Jin Ping. "No way! I'm a man, how can I act in this kind of thing? I won't do it!"
Su Jinping immediately went up to explain with great enthusiasm: "Night King is so handsome and elegant, a peach blossom face more beautiful than women, making me, the number one beauty of Dongling, lose my luster. This role can only be played by you! Besides, look at the role I'm playing, isn't it also embarrassing?"
Pointing at a name on the script.
Huang Pu's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch Su Jinping's forehead: "Are you running a fever? You're wearing this costume playing this role, I'll play that one, isn't it good enough? Why do you want to play the opposite?"
"Oh my, I'm doing this for your sake, take a look!" She said, flipping the script to the back. "If this plot is performed, the role I play will definitely be scolded by everyone. I'm doing this for Your Highness's face, if you were to act in this, I'm afraid everyone would curse Your Highness! I'm sacrificing my own image to complete yours!"
The woman spoke with great righteousness!
Huang Pu's face twitched slightly, his facial muscles convulsing silently as he gritted his teeth: "Can't you change the script?" He was 100% sure that if he really followed this woman's arrangement and acted it out, he would be ridiculed by everyone!
"Your Highness, I'm shallow and can only think of this script. If you have a better one, that's fine too!"
Huang Pu's face turned black as he read the script again, and finally had to admit that it was indeed a classic masterpiece! "I don't care about other people's opinions, I'll play that role!" Playing a woman? What a joke!
"Your Highness, think about it, if you really act like that person, which girl would still like you? And we're acting in reverse, how ridiculous and tragic the script is. What if everyone cries at your brother's birthday banquet? You don't want the Emperor to be unhappy on his birthday either, do you?" This can also highlight Su Jinping's handsome and elegant image, as for the Night King's masculine aura, let it go to hell!
This sentence successfully shut down Huangfu Ye! After taking a look at her and thinking about the script content he had just seen, he estimated the accusations this woman would face after performing, and his heart slightly balanced. Finally, he took a deep breath and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Ben Wang... performs!"
But she didn't see the cunning flash in Su Jinping's eyes, how could she leave the role that was scolded by everyone to herself... Hehe...
