In all the palaces in Xianyang, the second generation's concubines and maids heard that a grand event was going to be held in Jincheng, and everyone was beaming with joy. On the day of the grand event, all the women began to dress up carefully after lunch. They put on beautiful clothes and gold and jade ornaments gifted by the emperor, and then waited for the special convoy to pick them up. . At noon, everyone gathered in Jincheng from different directions. The total number of harem personnel was almost tens of thousands. They filed in through the four gates of Jincheng. When they saw the buildings and the good things in the city, they were all fascinated to watch them. Not only that, he was also amazed by the craftsmen's superb carving art and decoration level, especially the luxurious decoration of Caiyun Pavilion and Hongtai. They came to the wine pool and sat down on the wine pool outside the stage according to the designated positions, either three to five people at a seat, seven or eight people at a seat, or ten or so people in a pool.
The second emperor also made full preparations on this day and arrived at Jincheng after noon. When the ladies in the harem saw the emperor's arrival, they all stood up to greet him. The Second Emperor first came to the observation deck on the second floor of Caiyun Pavilion and said to Zhao Gao: "I want to enjoy it tonight with all my dear friends in this beautiful place, the land of wealth and gentleness." Zhao Gao said happily: "If it weren't for His Majesty's talent, I wouldn't have been able to see this unparalleled grand scene! It can be said that the whole city is covered with embroidery, and the whole world congratulates the Taiping Spring!" The second generation heard that Zhao Gao He was so happy with his words of praise that he invited him to have a banquet with Yang Chengyan and others.
Soon, Zhao Gao announced the start of the banquet. The service staff began to serve fruits, pour fine wine into the wine pool, and bring out various drinks, dishes, and meats. Some were placed on the tables, and some were hung on the food shelves. Some chefs even grill the food themselves on site. They deliver the grilled delicacies to everyone, and put the ones that are not eaten in time on the food shelf.
After three rounds of drinking, the Second Emperor stood up with the wine and walked to the railing, motioning all the beauties to be quiet, and then said: "Today's party, all my women are here, it is unprecedented, so I call this banquet ' Tonight, I will spend the night with all my dear friends and enjoy this rare delicacy. Please drink this cup to the full and wish you a happy evening!" The beauties raised their glasses and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine!" After the second drink, he filled another glass and said: "This second cup, I wish you peace in all directions! The Qin Dynasty is safe! The world is at peace!" The beauties praised again: "Thank you for the wine!" The second king finally said: " Now we enjoy the show while drinking.”
When the Second Emperor took his place, bursts of firecrackers came from Caiyun Pavilion and Hongtai. This kind of firecracker is filled with saltpeter and sulfur flammable substances in a bamboo tube, and then ignited, making a deafening crackling sound. Before the sound ended, someone threw the fireworks down from upstairs, like a goddess scattering flowers, and the sky was filled with colorful confetti, as if entering a fairy tale world. Some people also threw several prepared colorful silks from upstairs, with auspicious words written on them. Then came the trapeze performance. Suddenly, a female flying team wearing feathered clothes appeared on the rope between the two floors. They hung on the rings, slowly slid between the two floors, and landed slowly in the pavilion. Some skated from Hongtai to Caiyun Pavilion, and some skated from Caiyun Pavilion to Hongtai. Most of these actresses wore tulle feather coats of lavender, plain white, pink, light green, light blue, and light yellow, and carried long streamers on their shoulders. They flew through the air like fairies descending to earth. This kind of performance lasted about half an hour, and it had already brought people to a state of ecstasy.
While people were watching the trapeze, someone had already decorated the stage and the surrounding pillars were decorated with various colorful flags and lights. After the performance started, drums and trumpets were beaten first, like an army marching out for battle, and the sound was unusually touching. After various music played, the service staff used a blower to blow colorful confetti into the air. After a while, a melodious sound of the piano sounded, and a man wearing a red shirt, a crown on his head, and a banner in his hand walked onto the stage. This man's name is Huang Gong, a famous magic master in Xianyang. The first program he performed was called "Painting the Land as Sichuan". Huang Gong first turned a few beautiful somersaults, then danced the banner flexibly and freely, and then used Qin brush to draw a rushing river on the stage and two undulating mountains on both sides. After Huang Gong finished the painting, he covered it with red brocade streamers and continued to wave the flag. At this time, all the musical instruments suddenly stopped and the surrounding area became quiet. Huang Gong raised a big torch again, jumped into the air, turned a few more somersaults, held his breath towards the streamers, and then blew hard. I saw a stream of flames shooting out of his mouth, and smoke immediately filled the entire stage. Suddenly the drums and music sounded together, and the crowd roared. Just as the smoke cleared, Huang Gong slowly moved the streamers away, and two real mountains miraculously appeared on the stage. The river in the middle was also flowing, and the sound of the rushing water could be heard clearly. Clearly, the surroundings immediately erupted into warm applause.
Next is the animal taming performance, and the performer is still Huang Gong. At this time, someone had placed several large iron cages prepared in advance on the stage. They were first covered with red cloth, so people did not know what was inside. Huang Gong came to the stage, danced for a while, and then opened the red cloth one by one, and all the big tigers were closed inside. People screamed for a while and then became quiet again. The most exciting moment came when Huang Gong opened the iron cage and walked in by himself. Just as the audience was sweating for him, Huang Gong opened up each iron cage and connected it into a big circle on the stage. But the strange thing is that when the tigers saw Huang Gong, they were very docile. They allowed Huang Gong to touch and play with him. The tigers were as obedient as domestic puppies and kittens. After Huang Gong played with it for a while, he used his whip to drive the tigers away, and the tigers circled around the iron cage. They squatted, stood, rolled, or jumped, all showing very humane looks. The beauties who were watching were all stunned by Huang Gong's courage and acting skills. After watching this show, everyone's nervous and exciting hearts were still not calmed down. The next performance made everyone completely relaxed.
It turned out to be a comedy performance by the dwarf actor Youzhan. Youzhan is a famous clown performing arts master in Xianyang. His humorous acting skills have long been known to the world. Before the performance, he was carried onto the stage by a strong man, and he slipped from the strong man's hands to the stage like a little monkey. If you look closely, Youzhan is only three feet tall and his legs are less than one foot long, but he is smart, articulate, and full of sense of humor. The show he performed was a gladiator fight, where he competed with the two-meter-tall strongman just now. After a battle and beautiful moves between the two, Yuzhan finally defeated Hercules. Youzhan's superb acting skills won unanimous praise from everyone, and the applause lasted for a long time. Especially the second generation's concubines, most of them were watching such a program for the first time. Everyone was laughing so hard, some were lying on their stomachs, some were patting their legs, some were holding their stomachs, Some hugged each other and laughed, and some buried their heads in other people's knees and laughed. In short, everyone was so angry at the performance that they even beat their chests with tears in their eyes. After the performance, the second emperor was so happy that he called Youzhan to his side and rewarded him with many good things.
Next, they performed wonderful performances such as the Water Man Conjuring Snakes, Nu'e Sitting and Singing, and Wu Huo Carrying a Cauldron. At this time, it was slowly getting dark, and I started to light the lamp. First, there was a person carrying a bunch of red lanterns and hanging them around the observation deck. Then, the service staff lit all the lanterns one after another. Time is not long, at the top of the city, under the city, inside and outside the Cloud Pavilion, inside and outside the Hongtai, next to the railings, in the corridor, beside the wine pool, on the stage, between the rockeries, inside the winding corridor, on the food shelf, on the wine pool table, around the potted plants , there are colorful lights everywhere, and all kinds of lanterns make the entire Jincheng bright and colorful. Caiyun Pavilion and Hongtai look like palaces in the sky and the fairyland of the Queen Mother of the West.
At this time, the dinner began, and various delicacies were once again placed on the tables. People can enjoy whatever they want and try to eat the best. After everyone had had enough wine and food, they started to watch the singing and dancing. The first one was the Copper Man Band performance. This band is unique. It turns out that all the coppers are exactly the same as real people. Each twelve bronze figures form a team, a total of four teams, all placed on a three-foot-high base. The bronze figures have different musical instruments in their hands, such as qin, zither, bamboo, sheng, yu, drum and other musical instruments. The bronze figures There are also different playing positions. Their clothes are also different, and from a distance they look like a huge palace band. This kind of performance seems incredible, but it actually has its own principle: it turns out that the mechanisms are all on the base. This mechanism is composed of two copper tubes, one is empty, and the other contains a red rope, with one end extending to the exit of the base. During the performance, a musician played at the mouth of the pipe, and another person pulled the red rope, and the bronze man began to move, as if a living person was performing. Some of them played the piano, some percussed, some played the sheng, some blew the yu, some sounded the gongs, and some beat the drums. The scene was lifelike, and coupled with the beautiful music, the whole performance process reached a high level. Art appreciation value.
Next came the song performances, first with solos and later with choruses. The most shocking thing was that a hundred men and women took the stage to sing. They just cooperated with a few simple movements, and then sang the ancient and famous party song "Che Neighbor Song" of the Qin aristocrats:
BMWs and incense cars come from all directions, and bead curtains and luan covers scatter the light.
Apply some fat to the crimson peach surface, and wear a colorful veil.
Upstairs, there is music and singing in the Moon Cave, and in the dream the fairy is waiting for the mandarin ducks.
We are in love under the crescent moon, riding on the phoenix and riding the dragon as we wish.
Don't sigh that King Xiang is in Yunmeng, the clouds and rain are heart-breaking at dusk.
Feeling the current and ancient rivers, the beauty on the temples is covered with frost in a blink of an eye.
The harp and harp sounded yesterday on the bank of the waning moon, and the green embankment now reflects the withered poplar trees.
I advise you to be enlightened and happy in time, and the barren tomb is facing Beimang.
The voice was shocking and loud. After singing, someone motioned for everyone to take a break. At this time, people went to the toilet, and the people present played a game of "pot throwing". After everyone relaxed, it gradually became late at night, and people were already very drunk.
Next comes the dance performance. Before starting, the musicians first played a piece of sentimental light music. Following the melody of the music, two beautiful women, surrounded by a group of very gorgeously dressed dance teams, slowly walked out of the Hongtai. At the door of the pavilion, they lined up neatly and came to the center of the stage, and began to sing and dance. The two lead dancers started with a slow rhythm, then gradually became faster, and then they started spinning in the center of the stage like a lantern. As body heat increases, bursts of fragrant body fragrance also overflow. Both women were wearing colorful skirts and were dressed like butterflies. One of the scarf dancers was holding a large red silk scarf. She looked very charming, with big eyes and an extremely well-proportioned figure. A crescent eyebrow sweeps across the spring mountain like willow silk, and a pair of clear eyes looks like autumn waves approaching the abyss. The way he walks is as light as the waves, and the way he spins is as graceful as a jade tree in the wind. At first glance, they seemed familiar, but in the next moment, they felt like strangers from outside the world. There is really endless charm and endless romance.
Another woman was dancing with a ribbon. She was holding a long streamer in her hands, and she was dancing like she was playing with a rainbow in the sky. She wears a plump green silk bun, which looks like drooping clouds on Wushan Mountain from a distance; the delicate and smooth forehead is covered with a few strands of green silk, just like the spring breeze in February cutting willows; the lotus is as pink and tender On her face, she has a pretty nose that can only be carved out of beautiful jade; her curved willow-leaf eyebrows look full of spring; her pair of loving eyes are also soul-stirring; her lower lip is like a cherry in June; The long braid is like a waterfall on Lushan Mountain; several jasper hairpins are randomly inserted between the clouds on the temples; there are also dogwood hairpins inserted diagonally on the temples; and jade pendants made of purple Ying stone hang from the earrings. Both women wore lace sleeveless blouses made of silk; their lower limbs were covered with colorful quilted skirts; they wore colorful thin brocade shoes; and around their ankles were sapphire bracelets from Kunlun Mountain. In short, the whole body is full of pearls and jewels. At this time, it is intertwined with the clouds and Xia clothes, intertwined with the thick fog of cigarettes burning peppers and orchids, and there are strange colors and ringing sounds everywhere, which makes people A fantastic scene in the clouds and fog appeared before my eyes. Because the two women were more beautiful than the others and dominated the courtesan, this naturally made the second son happy and excited. He couldn't help but sigh: "How can the happiness here be compared to that in heaven!" At this time, people were floating as if they were falling into the clouds and fog, and they were as happy as if they were climbing into the nine-layer fairy cave.
Next was a multi-person dance, half holding large square silk scarves and half wearing long ribbons. They had graceful figures and moving postures. II toasted to everyone again. Suddenly there were shouts and thunderous cheers all around. Next comes the group dance. There are about a hundred people doing this dance. First there was the graceful music of strings, and finally a stream of scented mist was sprayed out in the center of the stage. As the scented mist dispersed, a fairyland feeling appeared. At this time, there was a dance team composed of fifty handsome boys and fifty gorgeous girls. They slowly stepped onto the stage from the stage, and then slowly floated to the center of the stage, following the ups and downs of Zheng Zheng. The music of the sound began to sing and dance. These boys and girls, all wearing gauze clothes and skirts as thin as cicada wings, danced on the stage. Everyone danced to the point of passion, and kept showing off their youthful and charming figures. Finally, the masculine beauty of boys and the feminine beauty of girls form a perfect combination, and the most beautiful and endless erotic dance in the world appears. This dance lasted for a long time and actually pushed the song and dance party to a climax that night.
Seeing everyone's excitement, the Second Emperor simply walked down the viewing platform, and stars were flying among the beauties, toasting to everyone frequently and encouraging all the actors to have a great time. At this time, the concubines were also enthusiastic because of the appearance of the gigolo. At midnight, the number of dancers suddenly increased, from the original one hundred to two hundred, four hundred, and later to eight hundred, one thousand. Even regardless of the stage, all the women were almost crazy. They just want to let themselves go as much as they want...

Pearls and gems were piled up randomly in every place, forming hills; gold cauldrons stood like forests; gold and silver ornaments were hung on shelves; brocades and colored silks formed beds; carved vases and embroidered screens lined the streets; and treasures from the mountains and seas were arranged in mounds.

At this time, people were almost crazy. Regardless of whether they were on stage or dancing, everyone was dancing and rejoicing heartily, and Jincheng became a sea of joy. The concubines and maids were used to being lonely. Now that they saw such dignified and handsome gigolos, they were almost crazy with excitement. They were intoxicated by the masculine beauty of the gigolos, and there was endless noise and cheers. The second generation also forgot his own identity and just shuttled among the crowd, hugging and dancing with everyone, spinning and carnivaling. In his drunken eyes, all he saw were women's belts and dance skirts. This bizarre real world seemed to have turned into a fantasy and changeable dream, which made the young king who cherished her beauty feel dizzy. The second generation struggled to move forward. Hundreds of heads were going crazy in front of him, and countless jade arms and breasts were shaking. The charming and charming beauties with full of vitality left an indelible impression on the second generation's mind. The sound of joy filled the city with vague memories and lingering love. People's souls seemed to be swallowed up by these tender sounds, and everyone just wanted to indulge themselves. As a result, Jincheng was boiling, and people's surging passion began to turn into a sea of wanton desire.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, but the lights in Jincheng are getting brighter and brighter. People danced, sang, and screamed tirelessly, and bursts of ecstasy music enveloped the surroundings. It is simply a city that never sleeps, and everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. In the midst of the joyful crowd, what the Second Emperor saw was one scene after another of beautiful dances. Everyone seemed to be in a state of excitement, and all kinds of restlessness was about to start. The beautiful sound penetrated Jincheng, Xianyang, and the clouds, and spread all the way to the distant Qin Pass. Later generations wrote a poem:
The spring east wind blows all night, and the fragrance and beauty are intoxicating in Yaotai.
The promiscuous wave goes straight up to the outside of Mount Jiang, and the dance breaks through the Qin Pass and cannot come down.
