Chapter 76: Happy Birthday with Songs

After Yang Shuang and Gao Bing chatted for a few minutes, they hurriedly avoided.

These three people are so conspicuous. Staying with them makes Yang Shuang look at everyone. When others see it, they think what does the four people have to do? In fact, they are not even considered card friends.

As the guests gradually arrived, the sky began to darken. When the sun set, various lamps were lit in the hall, making the entire hall shine brightly, which was particularly festive.

Everyone started to sit down, waited for a moment, and sang as the inner officer: "Your Majesty is here!"

So the officials stood up to greet him and saw Emperor Yang Jian holding the empress dowager's arm and walking into the hall. Behind him were the concubines in the harem.

After the empress dowager sat down, Yang Jian also sat down and said, "Let me rest assured!"

Everyone thanked each other, then entered the table, and then sat upright, and the hall was silent.

Yang Jian looked at the crowds in the hall and smiled and said, "Today is the 70th birthday of the Empress Dowager. I originally planned to celebrate all over the world, but the Empress Dowager is kind and frugal, and does not want to have a big fuss and waste, so he held this simple birthday party. I hope the Empress Dowager will forgive me."

"Your Majesty is kind and filial, and the Ai family is very happy. I heard that today's birthday party was planned by the King of Ming and King of Qin, and prepared a special program? The Ai family has been waiting and seeing, I wonder what kind of program it is?" Queen Mother Mingde asked curiously.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager will know at a glance! King of Qin!"

"My son is here!" King Yang Jun of Qin immediately stood up and tidied up his python robe.

He will be the host of tonight's birthday party and show off.

I saw him come out and said respectfully: "The grandson wishes the emperor and grandmother to be as blessed as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain. The program tonight's birthday party is called: The Voice of the Great Sui Dynasty."

"The Voice of the Great Sui Dynasty? What a strange name!" The Empress Dowager was even more curious.

Not only the Queen Mother, but also the others in the hall looked at each other.

Regarding the Voice of the Great Sui Dynasty, only the princess, princesses and some people know about it, and they have ordered a ban on leaks, so others have no idea what the Voice of the Great Sui Dynasty is.

At this time, Yang Jun clapped his hands and saw an inner official walking over with a box.

"I would also like to ask the emperor's grandmother to choose the first team to perform!" Yang Jun explained.

The inner official presented the box to the queen mother. The queen mother became more curious, then reached into the box and took out a ball and opened the wooden ball. There was a piece of paper inside.

The Queen Mother unfolded the note and recited: "It says...it's like fog, rain and wind? What does this mean?"

Not only the empress dowager was surprised, but even Emperor Yang Jian smiled and said, "This name is interesting, who gave it?"

So, as everyone in the hall was talking quietly, King Yang Chao of Wei stood up excitedly and said, "Report to Father, Emperor, the emperor's grandmother, this is the son's dedication to the son's grandmother, which represents the son's devotion to the emperor's grandmother, and moisten things like the wind, and continue to continue."

"The emperor is intent." Yang Jian praised.

At this time, Yang Jun also hurriedly reported: "Father, let's ask the King of Wei to prepare and start his program!"

"Okay!" Yang Jian nodded.

Yang Chao immediately left the hall and went down to prepare.

Then, the palace maids served wine and food, and the inner officials brought in to play score cards. At ten minutes, they were delivered to the tables of the queen, queen mother and concubines.

Yang Jun began to explain the rules of this event: "Grandma Huang, the birthday party event is called: The Voice of the Great Sui Dynasty. The grandsons knew that the emperor's grandma liked to listen to music, so they formed their own orchestra with several other princes. The wooden ball that the emperor just selected represents the order of the performance. Next, we will start our performance, wishing the emperor's grandma to live longer than the pine trees in the south. The scoring card on the table is the end of each team's performance. Please give it a score. One point is the lowest, ten highest, and the total score is calculated to top the list, and the emperor's grandma himself awards..."

As Yang Jun told the story, everyone present understood the rules of the Great Voice of the Sui Dynasty.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Mingde was very novel and smiled: "It sounds very interesting. The Ai family can't wait to watch your performance. Is it your Majesty?"

Yang Jian also smiled and said, "I will wait and see, I don't know what kind of program they can perform! If it's not good, don't be surprised."

"How could you be surprised? The children are filial and the Ai family is too happy." Empress Dowager Mingde said kindly.

Yang Jian nodded, then raised his glass and said to everyone: "Raise the glass and congratulate the Queen Mother for being as blessed as the East China Sea, and the sun and the moon are bright!"

Everyone stood up to congratulate and drank the wine in the glass together.

After sitting down, we saw King Yang Chao of Wei leading musicians into the hall. They were wearing red clothes and looked particularly festive.

"Father, Emperor, Grandmother, and Son Master are ready!" Yang Chao said.

As the first appearance, it must be the most eye-catching one, so Yang Chao was very excited and prepared to have a good start.

Yang Jian replied: "Start your performance."

In this way, Yang Chao and the musician went to the platform set up in the center of the hall, then arranged the array, and the musician began to play music.

"Dongdong..."

The sound of the piano suddenly rose, and the rapid tone of the pipa followed closely. The ethereal sound of the flute began to linger, and the waist drum began to beat rhythmically.

Then, a handsome Nian Nu sang: "I am very virtuous and virtuous, and every year is new and elegant..."

The time was too short, and it was too late for the King of Wei to sing the song himself, so he invited a famous Niannu from Kyoto. With his loud voice, the singing was quite charming for three days.

The King of Wei played the flute accompaniment. He looked at His Majesty and the Queen Mother. Seeing that they listened seriously, he was happy and felt that his hard rehearsals these days were worth it.

Half a cup of tea, the song ended.

The King of Wei walked off the platform and congratulated: "The grandson sang and wished the emperor and grandmother a happy and long-lasting life."

"Good grandson, good grandson, I even like this birthday song!" Empress Dowager Mingde said happily. She liked to listen to music, and her grandson was accompanied by herself, so she was naturally so happy that she couldn't stop talking.

Yang Jun, the host, said: "Father, Emperor, Grandmother, please rate the King of Wei's performance!"

The Empress Dowager raised ten points without hesitation, and His Majesty Yang Jian picked up eight points, and the other concubines scored their own scores. In the end, the King of Wei Yang Chao scored 85 points.

Next is the second performance, where the Empress Dowager continues to select the contestants, and the selected contestants were the "Three Complete Works of Fortune, Lu, and Shou" by King Yang Jun of Qin.

......

For the ancients who had not been bombarded by entertainment programs, the event of the Great Sui Voice is quite interesting, but to Yang Jian, it was very boring.

The music sang by the orchestras formed by various princes are either birthday songs or praise American prosperity, either flattering the queen mother or flattering the emperor. It's really boring.

So Yang Shuang was drinking bland white wine and wondered when she would officially launch the purified white wine.

He now has a stable profit and profitability, such as liquor, white paper, and fine salt, and these good things must be handed over to people with business acumen.

There are many reliable people under Yang Shuang's command, but his business acumen is a bit worse, so in the past few days, Yang Shuang has been calling a suitable candidate, but has never been settled.

Just as Yang Shuang was thinking, the other princes performed one after another, and the scores they received were equal, but the highest scores were Yang Chao and Yang Jun, and they both scored the same.

One of them was the first to appear and the other was the planner, so they took the limelight, and naturally they fought against the king.
