Fortunately, Mei Qianqian quickly recovered her usual demeanor, and said with a smile, "Today is Lu Kui's birthday, and the mourning family pities that there is no adult in her family, so they specially gave her a ceremony in the palace." It is the honor of the mourning family and the blessing of our Lu Kui to come with a smile on their faces. Just now, it was just a little fight among the children, and they all said that they didn't know each other, but I was afraid that the children's feelings would be more harmonious in the future. ”

When Lu Kui heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to Mei Qianqian, and then bowed to Wu Ying and Wu Yan respectively to express his gratitude.

Mu Yunyun sat down on the vacant seat next to Mu Yunyun, looked at Lu Kui's gift, and took over the words, "Lu Kui should have this ceremony, and Lu is the most important ceremony in a girl's life, not to mention that the queen mother will personally handle it for you." Tianshan has always only been in charge of state affairs, not asking about the harem, today to have a witch and a spirit girl present, this is a blessing that others can not exchange for a hundred years of practice, you should cherish it. ”

As soon as Lu Kui heard that he was busy, he also gave another salute to Wu Ying and Wu Yan, Mu Yunyun nodded, praised it, and sighed with emotion, "I think when I was fifteen years old, it was also the queen mother who loved me and held a ceremony for me in the palace, I had nothing to repay, I could only dance to show gratitude." ”

She was still sighing, and she didn't notice that the smile on Mei Qianqian's face had faded a little, and continued, "Today's dinner is grand, not just to celebrate your birthday, in fact, because today is also the birthday of our queen mother, just because you want to avoid this age, and you don't make a big deal about it." Queen Mother, a few days ago I heard Si Xingguan say that the star is dim, I'm afraid it's because of the influence of this number of birthdays, since there are people from the Tianshan Mountains, I have the courage to ask the witch for a divination, for our Queen Dayong to make a fortune, how about it?"

Wu Yan immediately glanced at Wu Ying first, and found that Mei Qianqian also turned her head to look at Wu Ying, and also glanced at Xia Zihai more, she felt a little strange in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Xia Zihe for a solution. Only then did I understand that the reason why the queen wanted to avoid it was because it was her fortieth birthday, and the numbers were unlucky, so she did not make a big deal of it. As for why the emperor was not there, it was because he still had to celebrate Lu Kui's birthday, and it was inconvenient to come, as for why it was inconvenient to come, Xia Zihe didn't say it explicitly, Wu Yan had to regard it as another cumbersome rule in the palace, and secretly teased.

- "Once a year, what a rare festive day, just because of a number, you Central Plains people have to make some taboos. ”

Xia Zihe sneered, "What do you Tianshan people say about divination and auspiciousness." ”

At the mention of Tianshan, Wu Yan shook his head with pride on his face. Dao, "If the world doesn't understand, it doesn't understand, divination is the most primary, where in our Tianshan Mountains we only have the ability to divination, but only this can be said clearly." ”

Xia Zihe let out a faint "oh", and secretly chased after him, "Why can't you say it clearly?"

"Because ......" Wu Yan was almost caught in the routine in his words, and was just about to open his mouth when he saw the light flashing in the young man's eyes, hesitated for a moment, came to his senses, and only said, "It is common sense to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and chasing after the wind and making things out of nothing will only bring restraint and disaster." ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Xia Zihe raised a chuckle on his lips, but Wu Yan didn't seem to be sincere praise when he heard his tone, and sure enough, he went on to say, "No wonder I thought you were different from others at first sight, so smart, please give me a lot of advice in the future." ”

He drank a glass of wine from the wine glass in his hand, the wine was far away, obviously it was not the same, but Wu Yan felt that his cheeks were a little hot.

They are talking in this room, and everyone is paying attention to the response of the Tianshan witch, but someone looks over here, the people under the lamp are like jade, the son is unparalleled in the world, the picture is very beautiful, but it is a pity that the person next to her is not herself.

As if shocked by the thoughts in his heart, his gaze lingered on Wu Yan's face for a long time, and then silently converged cleanly. He remembered that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and the last time they met was in the Imperial Garden, a beautiful day, but he said such a hurtful sentence.

- "We are not strangers, but we are not necessarily friends. ”

He had said that he and she were not strangers, not friends, but not strangers and friends, and that the only thing left was to be enemies. His heart sank for no reason, and he couldn't help but look at the girl again.

But when he saw Wu Yan who had inadvertently looked at him, the two of them looked at each other, and Wu Yan looked away almost instantly.

Maybe she blames herself? I hope it's just herself.

Think about it carefully, although she had good intentions at that time, she kept her away from the prince of Dayong and the treacherous political situation, in order not to let her be affected and hurt. But in fact, this is redundant, Tianshan and the imperial power go hand in hand, as long as she is in Dayong for a day, she will be in the whirlpool of imperial power for a day. Even if she doesn't appear by her side, even if she doesn't appear in front of the world, there are people who have a heart to find her.

It's just that I have endured it for self-preservation, and I still have time to take care of myself, why...... There's still time to think about it for her.

The question has just emerged from the bottom of my mind, and the answer seems to have appeared much earlier.

- He thought he was in control of his life, but he had already silently departed.

From the time when he allowed himself to be close to her, and thought about her so much that he said that sentence, the contours of the mistake had crept in.

If it was wrong, it would have been wrong a long time ago. Before he said such hurtful words, on the way to chase her at night, perhaps, earlier, when he met her in the night of the fireworks, the mistake began.

It's not him and her who are wrong, it's fate. But if this is an inevitable and decisive result, fate is not wrong, but he does not have the courage to accept it. It's not easy to live, and she's become a luxury. He has walked for too long in the dark night, groping with only his hands for a glimmer of hope in his heart, and she is a glimmer of starlight that flashes in a dark dream.

He wanted to get close to this glimmer of starlight. But after getting closer, he drew a distance between the two, saying that he was afraid of the starlight falling, and in the final analysis, he didn't have the courage.

I don't have the courage to guard, I don't have the courage to face it, I don't have the courage to accept this ephemeral beauty...... A wry smile spread across his face, and his heart was even more bitter.

He was full of worries and uneasy. Everyone in the garden also had fluctuations, but because of the witch's divination,—— when Xia Ziyan was pondering, Wu Ying had already agreed to divination.

They watched Wu Ying get up and walk towards the pavilion at the back of the main feast, and the musicians hurriedly packed up their musical equipment and retreated to the side, giving her the place in the pavilion.

The moon is in the high sky, she is independent of the pavilion, still is elegant and beautiful appearance, at first glance, only to feel that the white moonlight is like clouds and smoke, her whole face is blurred, and her graceful figure exudes a trace of mystery between the clouds and smoke, like a fairy.

There was a sudden silence around her, and her voice sounded clearly, so far away, but it seemed to whisper in everyone's ears.

"Tell me, Queen Mother, what do you want to count?"
