With two plops, Carpenter Zhang and Jiao Jian knelt down behind them.

"Common people, common people, please see the emperor." The two of them shivered and bowed their heads.

Thanks to the fact that there were no people in the stands at this time, everyone was below, so when they knelt down they wouldn't cause panic to others, but it did frighten them.

The seventh prince opened his mouth, thinking that he must have called "Dad" in desperation just now, which made Jiao Jian and Zhang Carpenter guess the emperor's identity.

The emperor sat down, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and raised his hands: "Get up, don't say anything."

The two of them stood up tremblingly, bowed and said, "Yes."

Seeing that the two of them were still standing still, the emperor raised his eyebrows: "When will the performance start?"

Only then did the two of them come back to their senses, and Jiao Jian hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, wait a moment, the stage has not been adjusted yet, it will be fine in a moment."

As he spoke, he bumped Carpenter Zhang with his elbow. Carpenter Zhang came to his senses and saluted quickly: "Your Majesty, the common people go and hurry."

The emperor nodded.

Jiao Jian did not forget to remind: "Ask them to bring some tea and snacks." After saying this, he felt that others were worried.

"I'd better go by myself, Your Majesty, and the common people will prepare some tea and snacks for Your Majesty." After saying that, he saluted and trotted away.

When they arrived under the stands, Zhang Carpenter and Jiao Jian just looked at each other, with fear on their faces.

Just when Zhang Carpenter opened his mouth to speak, he was stopped by Jiao Jian, who whispered: "Since you didn't say hello in advance, you just don't want to make it public. You just need to know this. I can't let the third person know." You hurry up to the stage and urge them to hurry up and make sure everything goes smoothly. Also, what about the performers? It’s the first performance today and they must make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Carpenter Zhang nodded repeatedly. He never thought that he would see the emperor one day. Sure enough, his decision to follow the Wen family was right. If he could see the emperor in this life, his life would be considered in vain.

Moreover, His Majesty personally came to inspect their results, which is something that our ancestors never dared to think of in their lifetimes.

"I'll go right away, don't worry, if there's a problem, I'll make sure the show is over even if I support myself." Carpenter Zhang said excitedly.

Jiao Jian pouted three times: "Don't talk nonsense. Go quickly. It's broken. We don't have any good tea or snacks here. I'll go to Yun Di Lao to get some."

After the two exchanged information, they divided into two groups to prepare.

Jiao Jian really ran all the way. When he arrived at Yun Di Lao, he asked the shopkeeper to quickly prepare refreshments and ran back with them.

After arriving under the stands, he calmed down his breath, then hurried up to the stands and placed tea and snacks on the table.

Looking at the stage, the workers had already moved out, and actors could be seen faintly beside the stage. Jiao Jian breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, it will start soon."

"Yes." The emperor took a piece of snack and put it into his mouth, nodded, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Yes, this snack is delicious, take some back when you go back."

"Yes."

The Queen looked at him helplessly, and Prince Fu, who had also begun to eat, looked at each other helplessly. They were worthy of being brothers.

Soon, the sound of silk and bamboo music came from under the stands. What made them feel strange was that although it seemed to be far away, the music spread clearly to every position in the stands, allowing them to hear it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, the lights on the stage changed and became colorful and moving.

The emperor was so surprised that he even stopped eating.

Everyone was attracted by this beautiful light and shadow, and they exclaimed in admiration, and a few teenagers even kept shouting.

Wen Yao was very satisfied, as he had been busy for so long, using mirrors and various candlelights to create these lights.

The lights ended, people began to come on stage, and the show officially began.

What was on the stage was a love story between a young general and his childhood sweetheart. Just when everyone was deeply immersed in this sweet and ups and downs love story, the music suddenly became passionate, and the topic changed. The young general changed his clothes and went to protect the young general. In defending their family and country, the two actors vividly performed the general's generosity in dying and the woman's tenderness and reluctance.

Then there is the scorching heat on the battlefield, the changing scenes, and the changes in lighting, making people feel as if they are actually on the scene and deeply immersed in it.

Everything was performed in the form of dance.

The emperor's eyes filled with tears.

At the end of the story, the general returns victoriously, the woman waits for him affectionately, and the lovers finally get married.

Both the Queen and Princess Fu were in tears. They were so moved that even the Emperor's eyes were red, moved by their righteousness and affection for their family and country.

"Reward." The emperor shouted.

The actors didn't seem to hear it. They bowed politely and left the stage. They didn't say anything about kneeling down to say thank you.

The emperor was confused, and Jiao Jian on the side quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the stands are far away from the stage, and the actors on the stage cannot hear His Majesty's voice. Please forgive me."

The emperor was surprised: "Then why can I hear clearly what they just sang?"

Jiao Jian carefully replied: "Your Majesty, this stage and stands are specially manufactured. Did you see the several large speakers on the side of the stage? The sound is amplified by those large speakers to ensure that every corner of the stands can be heard clearly. Actors’ lines on stage.”

The emperor understood and praised repeatedly: "Second, second, second, you built these?"

Jiao Jian did not dare to take credit: "Your Majesty, it was Yaoyao, not Princess Nankang who drew the drawings, and the grassroots and others did the construction."

"I see." The emperor understood and glanced at Wen Yao again. How many surprises did this girl have that he had not discovered?

The emperor was in a good mood after watching the performance.

"Yu Mingwang, take five hundred taels of silver and send it to the people who just participated in the performance."

The great eunuch, Eunuch Yu, responded respectfully and took out five hundred taels of silver notes from his purse. It was thanks to their majesty that they had more money now. Otherwise, who would be able to withstand the reward of five hundred taels casually?

The emperor looked at Jiao Jian and Carpenter Zhang again, thought for a while and said, "You also deserve a reward. Real gold and silver are all common goods. How about this? I give you the four words "skilled craftsman". Is that okay?"

Jiao Jian and Zhang Carpenter were suddenly knocked unconscious by the unexpected big cake. They knelt down and thanked them: "Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace."

Money or anything else doesn't matter now, and they don't envy those actors for getting rewards. Compared with money, this royal pen is worth more.

The two of them kowtowed three times, duang, duang, duang. Wen Yao looked at them and their foreheads turned red.

After thanking each other, the two of them couldn't hold back their mouths, and asked flatteringly: "Your Majesty, there is still a light show, will the grassroots tell them to start it now?"

The emperor didn't ask what the light show was this time, otherwise he would look like a country bumpkin, and just nodded enigmatically.
