At the Song Emperor’s Spring Festival banquet, the talented Lau Yuk-ngo beats all gents in riddle and is rewarded by the Emperor with a jade coin. She gives it to her husband Chan Gwai-sheung. So Kam-cho, an unwilling candidate for the Emperor’s harem, in\u8002ltrates into the palace as a songtress and seeks help from her cousin So Tung-po. Tung-po and Gwai-sheung often hang out and mess things up, which leads to Yuk-ngo reporting them to the Empress. The Empress punishes them by reducing their salary.
\nTung-po lines Gwai-sheung and Lanting up rst as a revenge, secondly also as to solve the problem of Kam-cho. Yuk-ngo makes Kwai Sheung vow to the rosewood stick for his delity while also sends Lau Sheung to spy on him. Tung-po advises Kam-cho to seduce Gwai-sheung and ask for the jade coin as the gift of engagement. Lau Sheung discloses all he spied to Yuk-ngo for a generous reward. Back home, the infuriated Yuk-ngo beats Gwai-sheung with the bevowed rosewood stick and
\norders him to kneel and repent by a willowy pond. Tung-po seeks the chance to instigate Gwaisheung to divorce with Yuk-ngo which he then does. She then goes to the court for justice, Yukngo’s uncle Kwai Yuk-shu tries to punish her for being a shrew. However, he himself is ordered to kneel by his wife. Gwai-sheung and Yuk-shu then go to seek help from the Emperor. The Emperor orders Yuk-ngo to let Gwai-sheung keep Kam-cho as his concubine but she refuses and chooses to take arsenic instead. In her last word, she urges Gwai-sheung to be loyal to Kam-cho. Her words move Gwaisheung.
\nFortunately, the Empress has replaced the poison with vinegar. Finally, the couple is reconciled and reunited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373392,373316],"area_type":[350138],"event_language":[365762],"series":[387115,387176,388313],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1315442","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-xiqu-cantonese-opera-en","event_category-xiqu-en","area_type-local","event_language-cantonese","series-performance-series","series-cantonese-opera-young-talent-showcase","series-2019-20-phase-2","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1315442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1315442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1315442"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1315442"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1315442"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1315442"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1315442"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1315442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
