the gongs and music starts...

Scene 1: In the Palace Garden

Emperor MingDe 明德 , of Dream dynasty 梦朝, walked out from the curtain... He saw some ladies and maids catching butterflies (empress YuPei 玉佩 and princess CiAn 慈爱) ( I like the gals whose name got Yu and Pei. Daughter's name Ci An is due to the song)

《庆高中》 (Not sure if i got the tune title right)
《三宫六院在后宫,朕封玉佩为东宫。娶伊已经十四载, 生出公主郭慈爱。》
《庆高中》
Empress Yupei saw the Emperor coming. Bow and greets him
《受到皇上的宠爱,我心真的很开怀。慈爱可爱又懂事, 孝敬父母世第一》

The whole garden (empress, princess and maids) greets the emperor.
“皇上万岁万岁万万岁”.

Emperor:“爱妃平身”

Empress:"辰时三刻天这亮,太阳起山照屁股!为何皇上(还在)玉花园, 文武百官在等您”
《七字调》.

Emperor stunned, look at the sky.
《哈哈哈!有臣等君, 何有君等臣之理》

Then the emperor walked to the Court Room.

Sorry AC, i not very familiar with Du Ma Diao. Thus did not write using it. hehee
For non opera fans who are not familiar with the tunes. Just read them in hokkien.

Whose idea is it to ask me extend the dream...

-_-!! "Du Ma Diao" is one of the main melodies of Ge Zi Xi leh (the other being "Qi Zi Diao")! How can you don't know! Hee...

As for the rhyming, it doesn't have to rhyme for all lines. Some songs rhyme just 1st, 2nd and 4th lines, some rhyme alternate lines, some rhyme for 1st and 2nd, and then 3rd and 4th.

Funny? Our “深宫怨”is like that what! And wow the 过场 is very long! I think about 3 minutes. Hahaha... if Mingde's dream is so long, I think he can take MC for the day and forget about going to work already. Hee...
