Concubine Yu: (Stands up, painfully) Horse, horse, why did you raise your front hooves and throw me off the saddle bridge?Is my pain not deep enough, and you are coming to make it worse?Aren't you the steed I rode from Jiangdong?Don't you miss your hometown?Are you the same as that heartless person, obsessed with the feasting and feasting of the Qin Palace and unable to extricate yourself?Are you also a frivolous person who likes the new and dislikes the old, throwing away the old clothes when you have new clothes? (Walking up the ancient bridge, looking up at the moon) Moon, moon, you are the witness of our love. I think we swore under your light that we will live together in the same quilt and die in the same cave.The voice of his oath is still echoing in my ears, but his heart has been dedicated to those enchantresses and prostitutes.Moon, moon, everything in Qindi is so strange, only you are my Jiangdong old friend, I can only confide my heart to you.what should I do?Is it possible to just leave him like this and let our three years of love go to waste?You enemy, I hate you so much, but I can't let go of you so much, Moon, please save me, a woman who is in a dilemma...

Xiang Yu: (sarcastically) Madame, are you out to admire the moon or practice riding? Yu Ji: (sarcastically) Who is this?Wearing a splendid dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, a cloud of attendants, and groups of wives and concubines, isn't it Qin Shihuang who came back from the dead? ! Xiang Yu: Ma'am! Yu Ji: (sarcastically) But this person opens his mouth with a Jiangdong accent. It sounds a lot like that A Ji who avoids disasters in Jiangdong, guards the house for others, and herds cattle and sheep. Xiang Yu: (angry) Madame! Yu Ji: Who is your wife?My husband has drowned in the rouge water of Qin Palace, and I am a widowed woman.

Xiang Yu: Yu, you are too capricious, and you don't give me face too much.How decent is it for you to elope late at night?How do you tell me, the commander of the coalition forces, to meet people? Yu Ji: Like I said, I've never met you, let alone your wife.Whether I run away or elope has nothing to do with you!I am dead or alive, what to do with you? ! Xiang Yu: (softens down) Yu, don't be childish, come back with me. (steps forward and grabs Yu's hand) Yu Ji: (shakes Xiang Yu's hand away) Don't touch me, don't let your dirty hand that touched all the women in Qin Palace stain my skin.

Xiang Yu: (annoyed) Yu, don't listen to those rumors. Concubine Yu: Haven't you ever sat on Qin Shihuang's dragon chair? Xiang Yu: Yes, I have not only sat on his dragon chair, but also on his dragon bed. Concubine Yu: (sneering) I heard that you also met the three thousand beauties of the Qin Palace? Xiang Yu: I let them lie on the ground and stepped on their bellies for a while. Concubine Yu: (sarcastically) Your Majesty is indeed a hero! Xiang Yu: More than ten years ago, when Qin Shihuang visited Kuaiji, I said "he can replace him", and I finally realized my ideal.

Yu Ji: So, you are going to stay here and become emperor? Xiang Yu: This is Yafu's strong desire. Yu Ji: Do you really want to become the second Qin Shihuang? Xiang Yu: This is a big deal, and I'm about to discuss it with you. Yu Ji: Discuss with me?You sat on the dragon chair, you lay down on the dragon bed, you stepped on the dragon girl, what else do you discuss with me?The supreme emperor, when will the enthronement ceremony be held? Xiang Yu: Yu, can you talk to me properly?Can you make your words less sharp?I don't remember you being like that.Everyone was ecstatic when the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, but you still mocked and slandered me.

Concubine Yu: I was originally a vulgar girl from Jiangdong, and I am not as elegant and gentle as your new favorites. Xiang Yu: What wronged you?What do you want me to do to you?You are not happy that I overthrew the Tyrant Qin, but are you happy when I died in battle?Even if I become emperor in Qin's place, aren't you the empress? Concubine Yu: I don't care about empresses, I want to go back to Jiangdong to raise silkworms and pick mulberries. Xiang Yu: Yu, stop making trouble, get on your horse and return to the city with me, we will discuss whether to go or stay.Do you want me to kneel down for you?

Yu Ji: I don't dare to accept such a big gift. Xiang Yu: (kneeling) I'm about to kneel down. Yu Ji: Kneel down. Xiang Yu: (Simple and honest) Go back and kneel again. Kneeling in front of the guards will lose face for me, and you will lose face too. Yu Ji: I already knew that you were hypocritical. Xiang Yu: Yu, if I want to be false to you, I will be struck by a thunderbolt. Yu Ji: Who wants you to swear? Xiang Yu: Alright, calm down now?Be obedient, come back with me, you see, the moon is westward. Concubine Yu: Aji, you don't know how much I hate Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty, and how much I fear the austere atmosphere of the Qin Palace.I had nightmares every night, and I heard ghosts crying in my dreams, and my clothes were soaked in cold sweat after waking up.Ziyu, please, take me back to Jiangdong——

Xiang Yu: (respectfully) Yafu. Fan Zeng: Your Majesty.Empress.The old minister is polite. Xiang Yu: Who was speaking so fast and alarmed you in the middle of the night? Fan Zeng: (sarcastically) Your Majesty chasing his wife under the moon, how can the old minister not watch this unprecedented spectacle? Concubine Yu: (Angrily) If you have something to say, why bother to scold people in circles? ! Fan Zeng: (Crossing hands) Your Majesty's words are serious, Fan Zeng doesn't have the guts. Concubine Yu: (Angrily) Huh! Xiang Yu: (Unhappily) This is my housework, so why should Yafu worry about it.

Fan Zeng: (Said solemnly) The emperor has no housework.Your Majesty, let the veterans speak out boldly. As a king, every word and deed has a bearing on the country and the community; as a queen, every frown and smile affects social customs.The empress is vindictive, and she elopes in the moonlight, which is unseemly; the king chases after the moon, and the love between children is detrimental to dignity.The king's enthronement is imminent, and such absurd things have happened, which really disappoints the veterans! Yu Ji: I don't want to be this damn queen at all! Fan Zeng: (not giving up an inch) The mother of the country is honored, and the virtuous deserve it.

Yu Ji: According to Yafu, am I immoral? Fan Zeng: The old minister dare not criticize the empress. Xiang Yu: Do we have to be the emperor in this place full of corpses? Fan Zeng: (kneeling down) This is the duty bestowed on the king by God, and it is also the expectation of Duke Xiangliang of Lingshu Shangzhu Kingdom during his lifetime. Xiang Yu: After destroying the Tyrant Qin, avenging the hatred of the country, and avenging the family, I think my mission is complete. Fan Zeng: (hitting his forehead to the ground, sternly) Your Majesty!This is God's will, why are you still hesitating? !Xianyang sits in the center of Guanzhong, surrounded by mountains, overlapping peaks, divergent rivers, swaying Weihe River, pleasant climate, fertile fields thousands of miles away, this is a rare treasure land of geomantic omen, and the heroes of the world are all coveted.Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity, the time will never come again, make up your mind, and ascend the throne as soon as possible!

Concubine Yu: (sneering) Yafu, I have always regarded you as a loyal elder, but I didn't expect you to be eloquent.The climate here is dry and the land is desolate. How can it compare to my Jiangdong Fish and Rice Township?There is no willow smoke and peach blossoms here, Yingge Yanwu; there are no small bridges and flowing water here, and Wu Nong speaks softly.What do you say that the mountains and rivers in Xianyang are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many mountains and mountains, and they didn't block the soldiers and horses of the king and Liu Bang!Ziyu, you only care about proclaiming yourself emperor, and you have the heart to let the eight thousand children who fought bloody battles with you look eastward with tears?Are you only caring about feasting and feasting alone, and you have the heart to let those weak wives and childish children cry?Ziyu, my relatives, let's go back, let's go back... Fan Zeng: (Kowtowing continuously) Your Majesty, don't be fooled by evil words, women are a disaster.Never forget the tragedy of Shang Zhou! Xiang Yu: (impatiently) Yafu, get up. Fan Zeng: (Kowtow to see the blood, heartily) Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister's advice! Xiang Yu: (angry) Get up! Fan Zeng: (stands up) Don't ruin the eternal empire for a woman. A woman is just a piece of clothing. Xiang Yu: Yafu, you are going too far! Fan Zeng: Damn the veteran! Xiang Yu: Yu's words also have her reasons.I can't separate the flesh and blood of eight thousand children for the sake of one person's wealth.Besides, I really don't like this place covered with thick loess.Although the Qin Palace is good, it is not my home, and the phoenix will not live in the crow's nest. Yu Ji: (Plops into Xiang Yu's arms) Zi Yu, my dear, your enlightenment makes my wife happy. Fan Zeng: (jumps up with his sword and throws himself at Concubine Yu) Demon concubine!You broke the big deal! Xiang Yu: (quickly draws his sword, knocks Fan Zeng's sword to the ground, furiously) Fan Zeng, how dare you be so rampant! Fan Zeng: (kneeling down, beating his chest in despair and crying) No wonder people say "Chu people wear monkeys and get crowned"! Xiang Yu: How dare you scold me? Fan Zeng: Veteran begs for death! Xiang Yu: Look at your white hair, I forgive you. Fan Zeng: (Looking up to the sky and sighing) It's a pity who is in charge of this majestic palace? ! Xiang Yu: I set it on fire! Fan Zeng: It's a pity that this great river and mountain, I don't know who is called the emperor. Xiang Yu: I cracked the earth to become the king, and everyone is blessed to share! Fan Zeng: I have seen Liu Bang wearing the crown! Xiang Yu: (Laughs) Liu Bang?I want to kill him like something out of a bag. Fan Zeng: (crying loudly) Mr. Xiang Liang, I have failed your expectations. Xiang Yu: Stubborn old man, don't cry, can you bite Qin Di's pot helmet with your loose teeth?Let's go back to Jiangdong to drink glutinous rice porridge.
