At this time, the real reason why the eldest prince saved the maid was also revealed.
Saving her is nothing more than seeing her beauty.
Soon, the eldest prince, fearing that the maid would be exposed, decided to send people to kill and bury her.
The script is quite interesting.
That's it.
"How was Xiaoyue's performance?" Mrs. Jiuhua asked with a smile.
Fujii Itsuki sighed, "That's great."
"If it's 'good', why is Mr. Fujii sighing?"
Of course, we sigh because it is good.
The young prince played by Jiu Huayue was very natural in his manners, speech, expressions and movements, as well as the lines he said when he comforted the maids and coaxed the maids into sleeping with him at night.
Especially the look in the maid's eyes.
Fujii Itsuki could really feel that this "eldest prince" particularly liked beautiful women.
From an actor's perspective, it's impeccable.
But the problem is that Jiuhuayue is performed by a male!
It would be fine if she played a woman who liked men, because she is a girl herself, but... this was a perfect interpretation of the preferences of the opposite sex.
Anyway, Fujii Itsuki didn't understand why Jiuhuayue could perform so well.
"Doesn't this just show Xiaoyue's talent?" Mrs. Jiuhua was genuinely happy.
"we'll see"
Fujii Itsuki sighed and continued reading.
The following plot is probably based on the background of the Asuka period and borrows the example of the Taika Reform.
Basically, the eldest prince's mother, Empress Kōgyoku, abdicated the throne to Emperor Kōtoku, who then issued the "Reform Edict".
The "Edict of Reform" aimed to completely abolish the system in which the great nobles monopolized political power, learn from the political and economic system of the Tang Dynasty in China, and establish an ancient centralized state.
Once the reform decree was issued, it was bound to affect the interests of some groups, and naturally there were two factions: the reformists and the conservatives.
The eldest prince is a conservative, while his younger brother is a reformist.
The two factions were constantly arguing, during which time the eldest prince's daughter, the heroine of this work, "Purple Flower" - Feng Jianyue, was born.
The eldest prince's daughter inherited her father's purple eyes and was born cute and well-behaved.
Unfortunately, he was born in an era of factional fighting, and there were constant fights within the royal family.
Because her mother had no official status, the eldest prince announced to the public that Feng Jianyue was a baby girl he picked up in a bamboo forest when he was away from home, and because she had the same eyes as himself, he adopted her as his goddaughter.
Feng Jianyue believed since she was a child that she had no blood relationship with the eldest prince, and that her father took her in only because he took pity on her.
"I remember you, Madam Jiuhua, mentioned the name 'Purple Flower', right? Why did you say Jiuhua? Didn't she play the eldest prince?"
Madam Jiuhua smiled faintly, "This is the compliment everyone gives to Xiaoyue. In the past, Xiaoyue played the role of 'Purple Flower'. Everyone said that her beauty is the real 'Purple Flower'. It's just that she is playing the role of a prince this time."
"The Purple Flower once played the role of Falling? I see."
The plot continues.
Fujii Itsuki felt like he was somewhat immersed in this performance.
As time went on, the dispute between the two factions became more and more intense.
In order to maintain stability and consolidate the power of the reformists, the eldest prince deliberately married his daughter, Zi Zhihua, to his younger brother when she was young.
Thus the father and daughter were separated.
This younger brother is also quite weird. He says that he and the eldest prince are brothers in law, but when it comes to marrying Zi Zhihua, he did not hesitate at all.
The reason is explained in the script.
Because Zi Zhihua had spent some time alone with the Second Prince in the past, during which time the Second Prince fell in love with her cleverness and intelligence.
Many years passed, and the factional struggle had reached a white-hot stage.
There is no reconciliation at all.
During a negotiation, the eldest prince went to the palace where his younger brother was and met a girl by chance.
The eldest prince was immediately struck by the beauty of the girl.
How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world?
The eldest prince immediately had evil thoughts.
Even after he noticed a moment later that the other person had the same purple eyes as him, and now that she was his brother's wife, his mind did not waver at all.
Anyway, the conflict between him and his brother cannot be reconciled.
Why don't you take back everything that belongs to you?
Fujii Itsuki watched the entire plot with a frown on his brow.
Power struggles, brothers fighting, family ethics, emotions and memories.
Especially the relationship between the eldest prince and Purple Flower.
Zi Zhihua's feelings for the eldest prince are understandable.
This can completely bring in Qiansui's emotions.
But the eldest prince treated her——
Hallelujah!
This is outrageous!
Anyway, from a normal person's perspective, Fujii Itsuki felt very awkward.
But in fact, the ancient Japanese royal family was really that chaotic.
Even if Fujii Itsuki wanted to complain, he couldn't say that the script was too weird or something like that.
And what's even more awkward?
Jiu Huayue portrayed the image of the eldest prince to perfection, his methods, his eyes, and his heartbeat when he met Purple Flower again.
Fujii Itsuki could really feel it.
With the help of music and other actors, he could even understand a little bit why the eldest prince fell in love with the purple flower.
Not only her beauty, but also her intelligence and elegance.
This was something the eldest prince had not been able to possess in the past.
The eldest prince saw himself in her and wanted to make her his own. He couldn't keep his younger brother who wanted to reform and whose interests were completely in conflict with his own.
There are the eldest prince, the second prince, and the purple flower, and there is a very beautiful daily plot in between.
This made the already emotionally twisted plot, coupled with such an excellent performance by the male character, even more uncomfortable for Fujii Itsuki.
The eldest prince does have his charm.
He is handsome and steady, ruthless, yet very open-minded, and he has indeed made some contributions to the lives of common people.
This led to the audience's perception of him being both scary and evil.
But is this really something that Xiao Jiuhua can perform?
The two-hour-plus script is over.
The script ends when the second prince breaks into the eldest prince's room with a knife and discovers that the eldest prince has robbed Zi Zhihua. Zi Zhihua, who is lying in the eldest prince's arms, confirms her previous guess through some details about the second prince. She probably guessed the true relationship between herself and the eldest prince.
It can be said to have come to an abrupt end.
Fujii Itsuki didn't know how the other viewers felt.
He was relieved anyway.
After the show, dozens of actors stood in front of the stage to say goodbye to the audience.
Fujii Itsuki noticed that the "eldest prince" standing in the first row was looking at him specifically.
At this moment, there was no longer a trace of tyranny and iron fist in the purple eyes of the "Eldest Prince", only the girl's expectation when Jiuhuayue left Otaru City.
She was thanking herself for coming and being able to watch her perform this play.
Seeing the look in the eyes of the "Crown Prince", Fujii Itsuki was reminded of the look on Jiuhua's face during her official performance, and kept wondering about the purpose of Jiuhua inviting him to watch this performance.
What was her purpose in inviting herself to this show?
"how?"
While Fujii Itsuki was lost in thought, Mrs. Jiuhua smiled and asked the same question.
Fujii Itsuki closed his eyes. He didn't want to make any comments on the plot of the play. He only knew that Jiuhuayue's performance was very successful, but he was also very tired.
Combined with the contrast between Jiuhuayue’s eyes during the performance and after the performance.
Fujii Itsuki seemed to understand something.
"Can I go talk to Jiuhua now?"
Mrs. Jiuhua didn't expect Fujii Itsuki to ask for this, but she didn't ask further questions and agreed:
"Sure, she should be backstage getting ready to remove her makeup. I can take you to meet her."
"grateful."
Fujii Itsuki looked at the "Crown Prince" who was enveloped in lights on the stage.
Jiu Huayue wore gorgeous men's clothing and received countless compliments from the audience.
But in Fujii Itsuki's heart, he just wanted to sigh for Xiao Jiuhua for some unknown reason.
This child has suffered so much.
