Chapter 275 World 427
Chapter 275 World 427
At the Queen's signal, someone walked towards the musicians and dragged out the player who was just pretending to be one.
The player is holding an erhu.
In fact, it was precisely because this player could play the erhu that he dared to infiltrate the musicians' group.
However, compared to the musicians of ancient times who made a living with their instruments and were able to defeat others to enter the top orchestras, his skill level was quite different.
The player was led to the center of the hall, and before he could react, he was kicked in the back of the knee and fell to his knees with a thud.
The hall fell silent instantly; even the singing and dancing stopped and people moved aside.
The chief eunuch beside the Empress was no longer smiling at Yin Yinshi. Instead, he bowed and presented the results of the investigation: "Your Majesty, after investigation, it has been found that the musician who was supposed to come was knocked unconscious, tied up, and stuffed into a box. This one is an imposter."
Upon hearing this news, the person in charge of the musicians immediately turned pale, his legs trembled as if he were having a seizure, and he knelt down and kept kowtowing and crying out for justice.
The Queen frowned: "So noisy."
The person in charge below immediately choked on their words, not daring to utter another sound.
Seeing that he knew what was good for him, the Empress punished him with a single word, and the man quickly kowtowed again before being dragged away. As for the player, whose face was covered in cold sweat...
Those with ulterior motives shall be executed.
"Mother," the Emperor said, bracing himself on the pressure, "should we have someone interrogate him to see if he has any other followers?"
The Empress glanced at him: "Even if there are, so what? Just kill them. You can never completely wipe out traitors and rebels."
The emperor wanted to persuade him further, but the imperial guards beside him had already carried out the order and slashed him with their swords.
The player opted to eject, and the so-called corpse vanished instantly. The natives in the arena seemed oblivious, lowering their eyelids.
The Empress then looked at the Emperor and said meaningfully, "The Emperor has grown up and has his own ideas now."
The emperor quickly bowed his head and stood up: "Mother, your son, your son only..."
The Empress raised her hand to stop his stammering, then smiled and asked Yin Yin, "Was this play good?"
“I prefer watching song and dance to this kind of play,” Yin Yin said, naturally not commenting on the Empress’s actions due to her different stance. “Although court dances are inevitably a bit too formal, they are especially pleasing to the eye when the dancers are beautiful.”
"You're still the same as before, not changed at all," the Empress said, raising her hand and the singing and dancing in the hall resumed. "What's the point of just watching young girls dance? You'll stay in my Ganquan Palace these days, and I'll show you some other interesting things."
Yin Yin now has a better understanding of this empress. She may not like the good things the empress talks about, but she has to admit that she still has some expectations.
Seeing this, the Empress was too lazy to stay at the palace banquet any longer. In the past, she would stay longer to watch the players put on their flawed performances, which she found amusing. Now that she had her sister with her, she could do something else instead of wasting her time on this.
So, amidst a chorus of farewells, the Empress and Yin Yin hurriedly departed.
Back at Ganquan Palace, before Yinyin could even catch her breath, a group of musicians entered, followed by two completely different groups of male dancers.
A group of burly, masculine figures, exuding masculinity and muscularity, wore the dance costumes of a minority group from this world, making no attempt to conceal their physique. If this were filmed, I guarantee someone would be covering their face with snickers while secretly peeking through their fingers.
The other group appeared much more delicate compared to them, but their faces were all exceptionally beautiful, even surpassing many women in beauty. They weren't very tall, but their slender figures and graceful gait, though each possessed a different air about them, every movement exuded a captivating charm. When they gazed at them with affection, it was a truly regal experience.
After watching the two teams, Yin Yin went to look at the musicians and slowly figured out some other tricks of the trade.
These musicians all had handsome faces, each with a gentle and refined demeanor, as upright as pine and bamboo. Just looking at them evoked the image of a graceful and elegant scholar. They seemed perfect for being planted at home, to be a constant companion.
This... clearly distinguishes between ABO.
Yinyin didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only say, "Sister, you really picked a good person."
The Empress smiled and her eyes crinkled: "Then let them start performing. See if there's anything you like, and I'll send it to serve you."
"Sister..." Yin Yin was interrupted by the Empress before she could finish speaking.
"Don't worry, I'll send anything you fancy directly to your current world," the Queen continued. "If you take a fancy to anything else in the future, you can bring it over there too."
"I remember you lived in the same house as Xie Yong in that world?" The Empress looked at him with a disappointed expression. "He may be good-looking, but a man like that always takes everything for himself. There's always something more important than you. How could you give up the vast forest outside for him?"
"Listen to me on this. You can move out when you get back."
"Do you prefer to live in a high-rise building or a traditional Chinese garden? A castle would also be fine; just have someone build one quickly, and these people will have a place to go when they're sent there."
These words made Yin Yin a little tempted. Although she couldn't do anything with them, they were pleasing to the eye to have, and it wouldn't be bad to have a room full of figurines.
However, if Xie Yong is mentioned here, could it be referring to the choice Xie Yong made between banishing Zero from the closed world and resurrecting himself in the finale?
Yinyin didn't ask immediately, but instead thought of her job and said a few more words.
"If you don't want them, how about I start an entertainment company and have them all make money for me?"
The Empress's gaze towards her was filled with unspeakable emotions.
"After watching for so long, your biggest thought is actually that you want them to become celebrities and make money for you?"
For some reason, Yin Yin suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Sister, let me explain. It's mainly because I've been suffering from ugly men for too long. Who wouldn't want their co-star to be good-looking?"
The Queen's eyes lit up: "So that's what it was about. You should have said so earlier. Do you have enough money? Or should I do it? As for talent, we can just bring over a few from other worlds. You can transfer the agency contract here and be both a boss and an actor."
"As for the script, you don't need to worry about it. I'll write it for you myself, and I guarantee you'll have several epic romances with different handsome men in the drama."
“Sister,” Yin Yin said, her face showing a hint of helplessness.
Seeing that the Empress was in a good mood, she tentatively asked, "Sister, why did you say those things about Xie Yong before? Did something happen before?"
"It's just that when the greater good and you were put together, he chose the so-called greater good," the Queen's face fell. "These scoundrels are all like this, they like to take everything upon themselves, thinking they are saviors, but in reality, aren't they all relying on the sacrifices of those around them?"
Yin Yin confirmed her guess and also noted down the word "these" that the Empress had mentioned.
"I dare to guess that what you're saying, sister, isn't that you want to take me away and then make him choose between the world he lives in and me?"
