第五出 窥浴

【仙吕入双调】【字字双】（丑扮宫女上）

自小生来貌天然，花面；

宫娥队里我为先，扫殿。

忽逢小监在阶前，胡缠；

伸手摸他裤儿边，不见。

“我做官娥第一，

标致无人能及。

腮边花粉糊涂，

嘴上胭脂狼籍。

秋波俏似铜铃，

弓眉弯得笔直。

春纤十个擂槌，

玉体浑身糙漆。

柳腰松段十围，

莲瓣滩船半只。

杨娘娘爱我伶俐，

选做《霓裳》部色。

只因喉咙太响，

歌时嘴边起个霹雳。

身子又太狼伉[1]，

舞去冲翻了御筵桌席。

皇帝见了发恼，

打落子弟[2]名籍。

登时发到骊山，

派到温泉殿中承值。

昨日銮舆临幸，

同杨娘娘在华清驻跸。

传旨要来共浴汤池[3]，

只索打扫铺陈收拾。”

道犹未了，那边一个宫人来也。

【雁儿舞】（副净扮宫女上）

担阁[4]青春，

后宫怨女，

漫跌脚捶胸，

有谁知苦。

拚着一世没有丈夫，

做一只孤飞雁儿舞。

（见介）（丑）姐姐，你说什么《雁儿舞》！如今万岁爷，有了杨娘娘的《霓裳》舞，连梅娘娘的《惊鸿》舞，也都不爱了。

（副净）便是。我原是梅娘娘的宫人。只为我娘娘，自翠阁中忍气回来，一病而亡，如今将我拨到这里。

（丑）原来如此，杨娘娘十分妒忌，我每再休想有承幸之日。

（副净）罢了。

（丑）万岁爷将次[5]到来，我和你且到外厢伺候去。

（虚下）

（末、小生扮内侍，引生、旦、老旦、贴随行上）

【羽调近词】【四季花】

别殿景幽奇：

看雕梁畔，

珠帘外，雨卷云飞。

逶迤，朱阑几曲环画溪，

修廊数层接翠微。

绕红墙，通玉扉。

（末、小生）启万岁爷，到温泉殿了。

（生）内侍回避。

（末、小生应下）

（生）妃子，你看清渠屈注，洄澜皱漪，香泉柔滑宜素肌。朕同妃子试浴去来。

（老、贴与生、旦脱去大衣介）

（生）妃子，只见你款[6]解云衣，

早现出珠辉玉丽，

不由我对你爱你，

扶你觑你怜你！

（生携旦同下）

（老旦）念奴姐，你看万岁爷与娘娘恁般恩爱，真令人羡杀也。

（贴）便是。（老旦）

【凤钗花络索】【金凤钗】

花朝拥，月夜偎，

尝尽温柔滋味。

【胜如花】（贴合）

镇相连似影追形，

分不开如刀划水。

【醉扶归】

千般撋纵[7]百般随，

两人合一副肠和胃。

【梧叶儿】

密意口难提，

写不迭[8]鸳鸯帐，

绸缪无尽期。

（老旦）姐姐，我与你伏侍娘娘多年，虽睹娇容，未窥玉体。

今日试从绮疏隙处，偷觑一觑何如？

（贴）恰好。

（同作向内窥介）

【水红花】

（合）悄偷窥，亭亭玉体，

宛似浮波菡萏，

含露弄娇辉。

【浣溪纱】

轻盈臂腕消香腻，

绰约腰身漾碧漪。

【望吾乡】（老旦）明霞骨，沁雪肌。

【大胜乐】（贴）一痕酥透双蓓蕾，

（老旦）半点春藏小麝脐。

【傍妆台】（贴）

爱杀红巾罅，

私处露微微。

永新姐，你看万岁爷呵，

【解三酲】凝睛睇，

【八声甘州】恁孜孜含笑浑似呆痴。

【一封书】（合）

休说俺偷眼宫娥魂欲化，

则他个见惯的君王也不自持。

【皂罗袍】

（老旦）恨不把春泉翻竭，

（贴）恨不把玉山洗颓[9]，

（老旦）不住的香肩呜嘬[10]，

（贴）不住的纤腰抱围，

【黄莺儿】（老旦）俺娘娘无言匿笑含情对。

（贴）意怡怡，

【月儿高】灵液春风，澹荡恍如醉。

【排歌】（老旦）

波光暖，日影晖，

一双龙戏出平池。

【桂枝香】（合）

险把个襄王渴倒阳台下，

恰便似神女携将暮雨归[11]。

（丑、副净暗上笑介）

两位姐姐，看得高兴啊，也等我每看看。

（老旦、贴）姐姐，我每伺候娘娘洗浴，有甚高兴。

（丑、副净笑介）只怕不是伺候娘娘，还在那里偷看万岁爷哩。

（老旦、贴）啐，休得胡说，万岁爷同娘娘出来也。

（丑、副净暗下）

（生同旦上）

【二犯掉角儿】【掉角儿】

出温泉新凉透体，

睹玉容愈增光丽。

最堪怜残妆乱头，

翠痕干晚云[12]生腻。

（老旦、贴与生、旦穿衣介）

（旦作娇软态，老旦、贴扶介）

（生）妃子，看你似

柳含风，花怯露。

软难支，娇无力，

倩人扶起。

（二内侍引杂推小车上）

请万岁爷、娘娘上如意小车，回华清宫去。

（生）将车儿后面随着。

（二内侍）领旨。

（生携旦行介）妃子，

【排歌】朕和你肩相并，手共携，不须花底小车催，

【东瓯令】趁扑面好风归。

【尾声】（合）意中人，人中意，则那些无情花鸟也情痴，一般的解结双头学并栖。

（生）花气浑如百和香，杜甫

（旦）避风新出浴盆汤。王建

（生）侍儿扶起娇无力，白居易

（旦）笑倚东窗白玉床。李白

Scene5 The Bath

(A maid of honor enters.)

Funny Maid (Singing to the tune of “Words in Couple”):

I was born with natural grace,

Though with a pockmarked face.

I am the first maid of honor, first of all,

To sweep the palace hall.

I try to flirt with a eunuch above,

But he cannot make love.

I put into his pants my hand,

But find him not a husband.

I am the first maid of honor on duty;

No other maids can rival me in beauty.

My cheeks are smeared with powder white,

My lips with rouge too bright.

As two bronze balls my eyes are fine;

My arched brows form a straight line.

Each of my fingers looks like a drumstick,

My skin like coarse varnish thick.

My willowy waist is too heavy to take a seat,

As big as boats are my lotus-like feet.

Lady Yang who loved my wit

Chose me to dance a bit,

But my voice is as loud

As thunder from the cloud.

In dance I turned the table upside down,

Which annoyed the imperial crown,

Who forbade me to dance and sing,

And sent me to the palace in Warm Spring.

The emperor came with Lady Yang yesterday,

And by the Flower-Clear Pool they would stay.

They are going to take a bath today,

And I am ordered to sweep the pathway.

Here come another maid.

(Another maid enters.)

Second Maid (Singing to the tune of “Swan Dance”):

Who knows the grief

Of palace maid lonely beyond belief?

What is the use even if we beat

The breast and stamp the feet!

Oh, who would care

For a lonely swan dancing there?

(Greeting the first maid.)

Maid: Dear sister, what dancing swan are you singing about? Now the emperor would enjoy Lady Yang’s Rainbow Dance, caring not at all for the Swan Dance of Lady Mume Blossom.

Second Maid:It is true.I used to wait on Lady Mume Blossom who,angered after coming back from the Emerald Bower, fell ill and died. And I was sent to do service here.

Maid: If that is the case, I am afraid the jealous Lady Yang would not let us have any chance with the emperor.

Second Maid: But I won’t care.

Maid: His Majesty will soon be here. It would be better for us to wait outside. (Exeunt.)

(A eunuch leads in the emperor and Lady Yang with her two maids.)

Emperor (Singing to the tune of “Flowers of Four Seasons”):

Look! The pleasure palace has cloudlike beam,

And like raindrops is uprolled the pearl screen.

Red railings wind along the picturesque stream,

And corridor on corridor leads to mountains green.

They stretch along the crimson wall

To the jade gate of palace hall.

Eunuch: May it please Your Majesty, here is the Warm Spring.

Emperor: Leave us. (The eunuch withdraws.) See:

In the pool ripples water clear

So fragrant, soft and soothing to the skin, my dear.

Let us take a bath.

(The maids help them to take of their garments.)

When you take of your cloudlike dress,

I see your beauty bright as jade.

How can I not love you, caress

And cherish you lest it should fade.

(The emperor goes out with Lady Yang.)

Ever Fresh: Dear sister, you see how much our lord loves our lady.

Don’t you feel envious?

Mindful Maid: Yes, I do.

Ever Fresh (Singing to the tune of “Phoenix Hairpin”):

Hand in hand by day, cheek to cheek by night,

They have enjoyed love’s all delight.

Mindful Maid (Singing to the tune of “Surpassing Flowers”):

She follows him like a shadow true;

They can’t be parted as water can’t be cut in two.

Each thinks of the other’s part;

They seem to have only one heart.

No tongue can tell with how much love they’re fed;

No word can describe their lovebirds’ bed,

Where they’d enjoy their fill

And their love blazes still.

Ever Fresh: Dear sister, we have waited on Lady Yang for years, yet we have never seen her Ladyship’s naked beauty. Why not take a peep through the curtain today?

Mindful Maid: Yes, just take a peep.

(They peep through the curtain.)

Both (Singing to the tune of “Red Flowers on Water”):

We take a peep at her body slender,

Floating like lotus flower tender

With sweet impearled dew

Shining in fascinating hue.

She moves her arms like a fairy queen,

And her willowy waist in water green,

And her breast blooming like double flower.

Ever Fresh: See her private vernal bower!

Mindful Maid:Spring hides there where our lord would bring fresh shower.

Bewitched, he fixes on her his smiling eyes

As if crazy for her he sighs.

Both (Singing to the tune of “A Billet Doux”):

Not only maids of honor would lose their soul,

But even our lord would his self-control.

Ever Fresh: They would bathe till the spring goes dry,

Mindful Maid: Or till they’ve washed clean Jade Mountain high.

Ever Fresh: He never stops kissing her shoulder.

Mindful Maid: In long embrace he would hold her.

Ever Fresh: Our lady, silent, smiles with ease.

Mindful Maid: Our lord seems drunk with vernal breeze.

Ever Fresh: They frolic in warm water bright

Like two love-birds in warm sunlight.

Both: Until the lover’s drunk in moonlit bower

And the beloved comes back after the vernal shower.

(Two other maids come in and laugh.)

Maids: Dear sisters, you are happy in having fun. Why not let us take a look?

Both: We are waiting on Lady Yang as she takes her bath. What is funny to see?

Maids: You are not just waiting on Lady Yang, we are afraid, but also taking a good look at the emperor.

Both: Silence! Here come His Majesty and Lady Yang.

(The maids go out. The emperor and Lady Yang enter.)

Emperor: Coming out of the pool, we feel so tired and cool.

I see your jadelike face with still more grace.

Your look more fair with disheveled hair,

Which is so clean as evening cloud is green.

(Ever Fresh and Mindful Maid dress them.)

(Lady Yang looks tired and the two maids support her.)

Emperor: Like drooping willow in the breeze,

You stand as a flower in fear of dew.

You look so tired and cannot walk with ease;

You need your maids to support you.

(Two eunuchs enter with a pleasure carriage and its driver.)

Eunuchs: May it please Your Majesty, the carriage is ready to take you back to the Palace.

Emperor: Let the carriage follow us.

Eunuchs: Yes, Your Majesty.

Emperor: Let us go side by side and hand in hand with ease.We need no carriage in the balmy breeze.

(Singing together with Lady Yang):

I am in love with you

And you in love with me.

Even the love-birds in view

Are lovesick of the blooming tree.

Epilogue of the Scene

Emperor: Flowers exhale their fragrance cool.

Lady Yang: We’ve come out of the Warm Spring Pool.

Emperor: You are too tired to raise your head.

Lady Yang: We laugh to lean on royal bed.

(Exeunt.)
