Empress Dowager Zhang's recent mood can be said to be extremely bad.
First, her place of residence went too far, so she could only temporarily move to Renshou Palace.
As she got closer to the Jiang family, her mood became worse.
Furthermore, Zhang Hua, who had been with her for many years, was killed with a stick without any explanation, and there were no confidants, eunuchs or maids around him.
The Queen Mother, who once held great power, has become a clawless crab.
Even the palace servants around her are not listening to her.
How can she feel better?
Although there is still no shortage of food and clothing, life is always like being in a hard prison.
Those eunuchs and maids are also stupid people picked from nowhere.
Either she didn't understand what she said, or she misunderstood it.
She made a lot of mistakes and tried to establish rules, but she didn't even have the manpower to carry out the punishment.
Empress Dowager Zhang knew in her heart that this was most likely a deliberate arrangement by the Emperor, who wanted to make her, the Empress Dowager, angry to death before she could get what she wanted.
She had no interest in watching this drama, but the emperor invited her again and again, and she couldn't turn away the favor.
Furthermore, the place for acting is Renshou Palace.
Even if she doesn't go, those gongs and drums can still reach her.
It would be even more humiliating if one side performs a big show while one side stays behind closed doors.
After forcing himself to go to the main hall, Jiang, Jiajing and the two princesses were all waiting there.
Seeing her coming, several juniors came over and saluted politely, as if they really respected her as the Queen Mother.
But as soon as she saw Yong Chun, Queen Mother Zhang thought of the talented Zhang Wenfeng of the Zhang family and her nephew Zhang Sizong.
After Zhang Wenfeng was captured, she tried to rescue him, but the attitude of Dongchang was tough, and all the people she sent were rejected.
In a fit of anger, she revealed the news about Yongshou to the Jiang family.
Even if this kind of news could not kill anyone, as long as she saw Jiang's shameless look, she could still breathe a sigh of relief.
But looking at the closeness of the family today, the news I revealed failed to have the expected effect.
Is it because they were careless, or was it because Jiang actually supported his daughter's relationship with Shi Tong, whose surname was Yang?
Thoughts were running through her mind, but she remained polite on the surface, chatting with a few people.
In addition to the Queen Mother Zhang who was invited by Jiajing to listen to the play, there was also the eldest princess Yongkang, and several other princesses in the capital were also invited to attend.
A table was set with tea, melons and fruits.
The scene looked very much like a family gathering.
Several princesses came over to greet Jiang and express surprise for her.
Empress Dowager Zhang also expressed some polite condolences, and Mrs.
Jiang replied with a smile.
Everything was just like before the fire.
The relationship between the two was harmonious and they did not infringe on each other.
But those princesses were all members of the royal family, and they could still feel that beneath the surface politeness between the two queen mothers, there was an invisible barrier that separated them from each other, making the distance between them further and further away.
Yongshou handed over the songbook and said, "Holy Mother, aunt, this is the play we are going to perform today.
Please take a look at it."
Princess Yongkang looked at it twice and smiled, "Hey, I thought it was Nan Opera.
It turns out to be Peking Opera.
I have never heard of it.
I don't know if it is easy to understand.
Also, why is this actor written as Yang Chengzu?"
This name sounds a bit familiar.”
Empress Dowager Zhang snorted, "This doesn't sound familiar, it's just our Grand Governor.
How can a dignified imperial court official mix with actors and actresses, and he is not afraid of losing his identity.
This Peking Opera, the Ai family has heard people say that he is still rewarded with a long live reward."

What about the name?
But isn’t this something that is sung among the common people?
It’s appropriate for the Imperial Palace to sing this.”
Jiajing smiled and saluted Empress Dowager Zhang, "Holy Mother, I think it's very appropriate.
As the lord of the people, I should enjoy myself with the people.
I should try to like the things that the people like.
I should be with the people.
Only by sharing joy can one empathize with the feelings of the people It won't go against what the people think.
Furthermore, I heard this Peking Opera when I was in Anlu.
It's easy to understand and the story is very good.
The Holy Mother can listen to it and make sense of today's opera.
But the new arrangement is very suitable for the occasion.”
Jiang's voice was not as hoarse as it was that day, but it was still deep and lackluster.
"The Ai family thinks this play is good.
As for Chengzu, he originally studied the Peking Opera.
In the Ming Dynasty, with his skills most , to act for Banzai, it is natural to use the best.
Besides, Chengzu said that it is the duty of a minister to please the king.
He does his duty and does not feel ashamed.
Ai Jia shares the same love with him as mother and son, and it is also true for him to act for his mother.
It makes sense.”
With her speaking, it would be hard for others to say anything.
After all, today's drama is, in name, to celebrate the Jiang family's escape from danger, and this face must always be given.
Not long after, some ladies from noble houses came, also invited by Jiajing, to join in the fun and cheer.
These people are all noble women who have retired from the country.
Most of them are in their fifties or sixties.
They are all masters who have matured with age.
They also know what to say and what not to say.
The scene is kept lively.
Everyone talked about nonsense happily, making sure not to be silent or make trouble.
Ms.
Liu is an alternative here.
She is young and wears the attire of a third-grade married woman.
She is a bit eye-catching among the crowd.
Madam Zhang looked at her, and when a princess told her the identity of Madam Liu, Queen Mother Zhang smiled.
"Oh, so you are Dudu Yang's mother.
Judging from your age, she is probably not his biological child, right?
Your stepmother is his father's concubine.
This title in the Ming Dynasty can already be given to concubines at will.
No wonder people say that nowadays the imperial court favors flood of rewards , Governor Yang said that he was the emperor's favorite minister in the imperial dynasty, and he was indeed worthy of his reputation.
Another person would never have the ability to get a concubine from his father.
"Ms.
Liu, you are a very filial son." joy."
Mrs.
Liu was already weak-tempered, and she became even more frightened when she saw the Queen Mother.
When Mrs.

Zhang scolded her, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
She lowered her head and said nothing.
Jiang took over and said, "Chengzu is very filial to his mother, but he did not ask for this imperial edict.
When they were in Anlu, Mrs.
Liu had been talking to the Ai family.
Her imperial edict was also due to Ai's family.
I asked Wansui for help.
Madam Liu, it’s okay, come sit next to Ai’s family and watch the show with Ai’s family.”
Princess Yongkang was afraid that the two queen mothers would quarrel, so she quickly made peace in the middle.
Several other princesses and a group of wives also quickly changed the subject.
Duke Ding's wife looked at the script and whispered: "I've heard this Peking Opera at home.
It's really good.
It's nice to hear.
It's the first time I've seen the Governor sing an opera.
I don't know what the method is.
Look at the text of today's opera.
What kind of opera is it?
I’ve heard of it.
This is called a hat trick.
It’s to calm everyone down.
The real big deal is the civet cat changing into the prince.
Why did you choose this one?”
Princess Yongkang and other princesses didn't pay much attention at first when they saw the name of the main play, but then they woke up and looked at Queen Mother Zhang furtively.
Empress Dowager Zhang had already slammed the playbook onto the table, her anger evident on her face, and she stood up to leave.
But seeing Jiajing and the two princesses talking and laughing in front of Jiang, they sat down again and stared at the stage, their mouths tightly closed, and the veins on their foreheads jumped unconsciously.
The energy of the volcano has been accumulated and is just waiting for an opportunity to explode.
Several princesses accompanying the table looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces.
They all knew that they might be involved in something big this time, and they just wanted to avoid making themselves embarrassed.
