Shu heard the crowd cheering and sang with more enthusiasm, his movements becoming more distinguished. The rotting, cracked sores all over his body and the roots on his head seemed to become part of his costume, making his operatic voice even more vivid:
"Imperial Brother, do not go wild at the palace corner, the state elder does not strike, who is conspiring against the throne, only because the prince is young, he opens the record of achievements, I shall compare you with your father..."
He sang with great vigor.
After he finished singing, the crowd was left wanting more, and Lu Xi'an started to stir things up, saying, "Encore!"
Luo Ping, who loved joining in the fun, started clamoring as soon as Lu Xi'an shouted, "Encore! Encore!"
At this point, Shu suddenly became a bit shy, hesitated for a moment and said, "I only remember this part of the opera, I can't do the rest. I'll sing a part from another opera, I've recalled a segment of another."
