On the previous daytime banquet, the prince had already occupied the scenery, and he had to occupy the emperor's attention all the time at night, not only the young palace concubines were resentful, but the rest of the princes and princesses also had some ideas.

Princess Xin'an was the first to pop out, "Father, my daughter has recently practiced a song to congratulate her father on his birthday." ”

The emperor's attention was pulled back, even if he didn't want to see Princess Xin'an, he smiled kindly: "Xin'an can also play music?" Listen to it. ”

Princess Xin'an made a salute, and the long skirt embroidered with gold and silver threads, shining slightly under the reflection of candlelight, made Princess Xin'an more and more beautiful. The beauty plays the kite, not listening to the music, just to appreciate its beauty.

I won't comment on how Princess Xin'an's zither plays, but her posture is undoubtedly beautiful and very pleasing to the eye.

At the end of the song, Princess Xin'an looked at the emperor with sparkling eyes, and the emperor praised, "It is indeed beneficial, but you still have to work hard." "Most of the Zheng songs just now were wrong, but seeing that this daughter has never played a complete tune, it is already good now.

"Father, how is it better than the crown princess?" Princess Xin'an asked. Since she got married, she opened a mansion by herself, and was praised by some officials and daughters in Shangdu and many prodigal sons, a little fluttering, thinking that her appearance may not be as good as Su Yan, but in terms of talent, as long as she is a little angry, she will definitely be able to throw her off the street. With this hope, she has been practicing Zheng art hard for the past ten days, and she can show her talents on the night of Shengshou with peace of mind, and defeat Su Yan in front of everyone.

Even in the face of his daughter's ardent and expectant gaze, the emperor could not say against his will that his daughter's error-ridden zither would be better than his daughter-in-law. He could only vaguely encourage, "Xin'an plays the zheng, but Qi Niang is good at the qin, they are not the same instrument, what is the comparison." ”

The prince has always looked down on Princess Xin'an, and this fourth sister doesn't deal with his wife very well, and today she dares to use her beloved wife as a stepping stone at her father's birthday banquet, which is really beautiful. The prince squinted at Princess Xin'an, and said arrogantly: "It's really a joke, like the fourth sister, half of the song is wrong, and even the palace maid in the palace who has a little talent is not as good, and she dares to compare with Yan Yan." ”

The emperor coughed lightly in embarrassment, "Qilang, your fourth sister has worked very hard, don't be so mean." ”

The prince snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Princess Xin'an didn't get the praise she imagined, but was ridiculed by the prince, and she couldn't get angry with the prince, so she immediately pouted happily and went back. Princess Xin'an's concubine Wu Yiming is a very delicate man, but he looks thinner and weaker. He whispered to comfort him in private, but Princess Xin'an was annoyed, and pushed him hard, almost not pushing the horse to the ground.

Wu Juma was treated like this by Princess Xin'an in public, and he felt that his face was dull, and his eyes flashed with annoyance. If he hadn't been in the palace family banquet, he would have thrown off his sleeves and left, and he could still stay here and be angry with Princess Xin'an.

Princess Xin'an and the concubine had a little unpleasant, Concubine De had already noticed it, and when the emperor didn't pay attention, she glared at Princess Xin'an and signaled her to be honest. Princess Xin'an was still a little afraid of her mother, so she reluctantly sat up straight, turned around and beckoned the palace maid to bring wine, poured herself a drink, and enjoyed herself.

Concubine De no longer asks Princess Xin'an to add glory to her face, as long as she doesn't do stupid things and cause herself to lose face. She gave her youngest daughter, Princess Yang'an, a look and asked her to look at Princess Dianxin'an. Princess Yang'an bowed her head lightly to Concubine De, indicating that she knew.

The third prince, King Zhou, saw this scene in his eyes, and he turned his head and whispered to his princess Zhu: "Princess, look at Xin'an, don't let her cause trouble." By the way, he also summoned the palace maid over and instructed: "Exchange Princess Xin'an's wine for fruit dew." "He doesn't want Xin'an to get drunk here and make a fuss.

The palace maid took the order and left, and after a while, the pot of wine in Princess Xin'an's hand was drunk, and she asked the palace maid to replace it with a new pot for her. Just poured a cup, and after drinking it all, she turned around and wanted to scold the palace people angrily, but was stopped by Princess Zhu of Zhou, who rushed over one step earlier, "Sister, you have already drunk a lot of spirits, for the sake of your body, let's drink some fruit syrup." ”

Princess Xin'an didn't look at this step-sister-in-law in her eyes, and pouted disdainfully, "What are you, dare to care about me." Finally, she still knew that this was a banquet in the palace, and there was no loud voice.

Zhu looked at her like an ignorant child, and said softly: "Sister......"

Princess Xin'an didn't even look at her, her red lips painted purple opened lightly, and spit out two words: "You get out!" He also ordered the palace man to be savage: "Give me three white wines, hurry up!" ”

The palace maid looked at Princess Zhou in a dilemma, and then looked at Princess Xin'an, after all, it was Princess Xin'an who gave her more fear, and slowly saluted, "Yes, princess." ”

Zhu frowned slightly, raised his hand to stop the palace maid, and admonished in a serious tone: "Fourth sister, don't be willful. ”

Princess Xin'an got up violently and asked, "Father, today is your holy birthday, is there enough wine in the palace?" ”

The emperor was holding chopsticks and teasing his youngest son with white wine. Fifteen Lang, who was just two years old, only shook his head because of the spicy wine, but he still stubbornly raised his mouth, waiting for the emperor to feed him, which made the emperor laugh: "Good boy, it's my son." Fifteen Lang's biological mother, Li Jieyu, glanced at the emperor coquettishly, "Sage, Fifteen Lang is still so young, you teach him to drink." ”

The beauty's resentful appearance made the emperor's heart pause, and when he was thinking about saying a few words to tease Li Jieyu, he heard his daughter ask him loudly if the wine could be drunk casually.

The Emperor looked up suspiciously, "What's the matter?" "Why did Princess Zhou run to the Xin'an seat.

Princess Xin'an pointed at Princess Zhu of Zhou with dissatisfaction, and directly complained: "Father, the third sister-in-law does not let her sons drink." ”

Concubine De shouted: "Xin'an! ”

Princess Xin'an was even more aggrieved, "Father, you see that even A-Niang is towards the third sister-in-law." ”

Princess Zhu of Zhou never thought that Princess Xin'an would come to such a show, she couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face, and hurriedly bowed down, "Father, it's all the fault of the courtiers and daughters-in-law." ”

The emperor had a good impression of the Zhu family, and knew that his daughter's personality was too rude, so he said kindly: "Sanniang, get up, Xin'an is a little willful, you have to take care of it more." He said to Princess Xin'an with a tiger face: "Xin'an, your third sister-in-law is also for your good, look at what you look like!" ”

Although the emperor reprimanded Princess Xin'an, he personally instructed the palace maid to fetch good wine, and Princess Xin'an drank enough, and said very considerately: "If you drink too much, you will sleep in your mother's palace." ”

Xin'an got this sentence, raised his chin proudly at Zhu's family, and said in a weird manner: "It's better for the third sister-in-law to go back and serve the third brother, I won't worry about you." ”

Zhu was given a faceless face by Princess Xin'an in public, so he could only endure his shame and return to King Zhou's side. King Zhou apologized slightly, "I have wronged the princess." ”

Zhu smiled dignified at her husband, "Where is the prince talking about this, it was originally done by the concubine, what grievances are there." ”

King Zhou originally thought that this was what the princess should do, but when he heard Zhu say this, the apology that had just risen flew away in an instant, he nodded at Zhu, and praised him gently, "The princess is really virtuous." ”

Zhu Shi received the evaluation of the word husband, as if he had received a great compliment, his eyes lit up, and the whole person swept away the embarrassment just now, and looked extremely radiant.

Several princesses sitting near King Zhou looked at each other, and they all saw it in each other's eyes. Especially Su Rong, who came to a conclusion that if you are wronged, you must tell your husband, if you don't say it, he will take you for granted. and the Zhu family, she is more and more similar to the crown princess who engraved the four words virtuous and virtuous on her head in her previous life.

The banquet was still going on, and although there were songs and dances in the evening, most of the programs were performed by the princes, princesses and palace concubines to entertain the emperor.

Just like the Qin Xiao ensemble of King An and his wife, the double sword dance of King Qi and his wife, etc., are all more exciting and applauded by the emperor. Even King Zhou and Princess Zhou, who have always been upright, got up at this time and went to the scene to entertain their relatives. Su Rong quietly glanced at the prince and his wife, who were as stable as Mount Tai, and now except for the two or three little princes in the field, only their family and the prince and his wife did not have a look. I don't know what Su Yan thinks in his heart, I want to make the finale appearance and compare the previous people? Su Rong's heart turned several times, and there was no leakage on his face, and he even sang Princess Zhou's song to the brilliant, smiling and stroking his palms.

Su Yan didn't want to express anything here at all, the crown prince had received enough attention from the emperor, and the emperor should be given some attention to others. Besides, their husband and wife have had enough scenery at the banquet today, and the rest of the princes and princesses will be left at the dinner, and there will be few complaints.

The prince just didn't want to show his brothers and sisters at all, let alone the palace concubine at the scene, so it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to act. In his heart, those palace concubines are nothing, and they are also qualified to listen to him play the piano.

Concubine Shu saw that other people's sons and daughters were gone, so her son sat down steadily, and she was a little anxious, and quietly gave her son and daughter-in-law a look.

Su Rong smiled at Concubine Shu and nodded, then poked her husband lightly, motioning him to see Concubine Shu.

King Wu smiled helplessly, and stood up, "Parents, sons, are also ugly." ”

Among all the emperor's sons and daughters, except for the crown prince, the favorite is King Wu. Seeing him come out, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Liulang, if it's not good-looking, I will punish you." ”

King Wu said gently: "The sons must do their best." ”

King Wu was a good qin, and when he was not married, he often entertained himself by playing the qin in his residence, and the emperor sometimes invited him to come over and listen to him play a few songs. Speaking of which, King Wu's piano skills are on par with Lu Ji.

Su Rong has long understood this, and he has studied with a famous pianist before, and after he got married, he practiced even more diligently. Limited by talent, her piano skills can only be skills, and she has not reached the point of art, but she can also get her husband's affirmation, which is much better than most of the famous ladies in the capital, and even better than some ladies who are famous for their piano skills.

She was very sure that with Su Yan's love for the guqin and some stubbornness, she would definitely not play it on the spot under the birthday banquet. As Su Yan often said, the piano is the voice of the heart, used to entertain oneself, not to entertain others.

Wu Wang and Su Rong played together, using a question-and-answer method, and then gradually synthesized a song. To the layman, the two piano tones are calm and graceful, and they cooperate with each other seamlessly, faintly revealing lingering meanings. Coupled with the fact that the two of them look at each other from time to time, it makes this performance even more picturesque.

The emperor was a little stunned, and when the music gradually fell silent, he laughed, "Good, good, good!" ”

King Wu and Su Rong stood side by side, and saluted at the same time, the emperor stroked his beard and smiled at Concubine Shu: "Such a beautiful woman, Concubine Ai's eyesight is good." "The original Princess Wu, the emperor chose the three ladies of the Zhao Imperial Historian's family, but he couldn't stand Concubine Shu liking Su Rong, and the pillow wind blew a lot, so the emperor changed his mind and followed the wishes of Concubine Shu and his son. Now it seems that this daughter-in-law has also chosen well.

There was a sound of praise in the hall, Su Rong lowered his head slightly in shame, and was led back to his seat by King Wu.

The prince pouted quietly and bit Su Yan's ear, "It's a pity that the sixth brother's good piano skills have to be ...... your sister" After spitting, he reacted, Su Rong is the sister of his family...... It's over, it's the wrong thing. He carefully glanced at his beloved wife's expression, saw her looking at him with a smile, and slowly reached out to hold her little hand, "Yan Yan, I was wrong." "I won't talk about your sister next time.

Su Yan pinched him hard, and also whispered: "Qilang didn't say anything wrong, but he shouldn't say it here." "It's not good for people to sit in one place.

The prince nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood what his beloved wife meant, and wanted to gossip, spit or something, returned to the East Palace, closed the door, and the two of them chatted casually.

After the princes and princesses have gone through the motions, it is the turn of the young palace concubines. Most of them have only been in the palace for a long time, their status is low, they have no children, and they don't see the emperor many times on weekdays, so they have to work hard to express themselves on this occasion today, in order to deepen the impression in the emperor's heart. They don't ask for much, it's just a few more pampering, and if they are lucky, they have a son and a half daughter, and they will have something to rely on in the second half of their lives.

Princess Xin'an was already almost drunk, she staggered to her feet, and said loudly: "Father, let's all entertain our relatives in colorful clothes, why don't the prince and the princess say anything." ”

The emperor really had a headache for this daughter, and beckoned to the palace maid, "Xin'an is drunk, help her to rest in Concubine De's palace." ”

The drunkard usually doesn't admit that she is drunk, she ran towards the prince crookedly, and said, "Erchen is not drunk." ”

The palace maid also came over at this time, and she helped Princess Xin'an and was about to take her out, "Princess, the slave will help you down." ”

Princess Xin'an struggled hard, and scolded: "Cheap maid come to pull this palace, be careful that this palace asks someone to cut you." "The drunken people are very angry, and she is a princess, so the palace maids don't dare to control it too hard. Princess Xin'an broke free from the palace maid's hand, walked a few steps to the side, stumbled under her feet, directly overturned a food table, and then bumped into a fragrant body.

Princess Xin'an was already drunk with alcohol, and she also mixed the taste of various foods, leaning on Su Rong like this, which made her sick for a while. That feeling was together, and the stomach was turned upside down, and she couldn't suppress it at all, so she vomited out with a "wow", which happened to vomit Princess Xin'an.

Princess Xin'an was already drunk, and she was taken by her, and she also vomited on the ground.

The smell in the hall was intoxicating, and the prince took the sachet and directly covered Su Yan's nose, twisted his brows, and touched the sachet again, covering himself. The faint mint aroma dispelled the disgusting smell, and his frowning brows slowly calmed down.

"Vomit...... Wow......" Finally, a third one couldn't help but vomit, but it was Princess Wei Liuniang of Zhao who was sitting next to King Wu and Su Rong.

The hall was very lively, and the emperor's face was blue. Du Guifei endured her nausea and told the palace maid to clean up quickly. also took the time to say to Concubine De: "Sister, please take Siniang back to the palace." ”

At this moment, Princess Xin'an had already collapsed on the palace maid and slept to death. Concubine De hated it to death, and she had to ask the emperor for her guilt.

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, you can take Xin'an away first." But she was really panicked in her heart, "Concubine De, Xin'an is not small, you have to teach her well." "Messing up the emperor's birthday banquet or something, it's really not a sentence that can be justified by willfulness.

"Sage, let's go to the side hall first." Du Guifei said, she looked at Su Rong and Wei Liuniang lovingly, "Seeing that Princess Wei and Princess Wu are so uncomfortable, I think they are a little unwell, so I have to recruit a doctor to take a good look at them." ”

Concubine Shu and Xu Zhaoyuan looked at their daughter-in-law, and their faces were not good-looking. Especially Concubine Shu, her eyes when she looked at Su Rong were all with ice blades.

Su Rong vomited groggily, leaning softly on the palace maid, so uncomfortable that he couldn't care about anything.

King Wu was quite worried about Su Rong, and bowed to Du Guifei, "Thank you Guifei Niangniang." ”

The emperor waved at Jia Xi, "Go and recruit the imperial doctor." He took the lead in covering his nose and went to the side hall, and he didn't forget to call the prince and Su Yan, "Qilang and Qiniang came with me." "As for the others, it doesn't matter where you go.

It was easy to settle in the side hall, and the emperor leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes, and asked the palace maid to rub his aching forehead. The prince helped Su Yan to sit down on the chair, and served her tea attentively, "Yan Yan, take a sip of tea, it will be better." ”

The Emperor opened his eyes, "Where's my tea?" ”

The crown prince raised his chin in the direction of Jia Xi, "There." ”

The emperor had the heart to say that he wanted it in your hand, but just now his daughter-in-law drank one, and he was embarrassed, so he could only snort, took the lamp in Jia Xi's hand, and muttered in a low voice: "Unfilial son!" ”

The prince had long been accustomed to being scolded by his father, and he didn't hear it, so he fed his daughter-in-law, and was not afraid to pat her on the back, and asked gently, "Is it better?" ”

The shallow aroma of tea soothed Su Yan's churning stomach very well, she exhaled lightly, and said coquettishly: "I'm much better, what about you, Qilang?" ”

The prince held her hand and said gently, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

The emperor was very pleased that the young couple were so affectionate, but his son didn't care about him for a long time, and he was angry. Under the entanglement of left and right, he finally twisted his face to the side angrily, I don't look at it, but he can't help but look at it secretly.

Su Yan poked her husband, and the prince had already seen it. At the urging of his beloved wife, he got up and walked to the emperor's side, ripped off the veil he was holding his head, stabbed his father, and said angrily: "Go inside." ”

The emperor turned over, threw his fart at his son, and pretended to be impatient and said, "I don't want to see you, stay away from me." ”

The prince squinted at his arrogant father, "Then I'm really leaving?" ”

The emperor instantly turned over and sat up, grabbed the prince's neckline, realized that he was clenching too tightly, and deliberately let go of his hand, before he roared like a rainbow: "Bastard boy, Lao Tzu is your father, is it difficult for you to coax Lao Tzu for a while!" ”

The prince had a headache and said, "Daddy, how old are you, you still have to be coaxed!" ”

The emperor's eyes widened, "Why, you used to cry when you were a child, and I didn't coax you!" ”

"Didn't Daddy make his retainers cry!" The prince has a good memory since he was a child, and he has an expression that I know everything, and you don't lie to me.

The emperor was a little weak-hearted, "Anyway, I'm coaxing." ”

"Poof......" Su Yan couldn't help but turn her head and snicker, every time she got along with the emperor and the prince in private, she always couldn't help but snicker.

It's over, I was so happy arguing with my son that I forgot that my daughter-in-law was there for a while, which was embarrassing. The emperor glanced at Su Yan in a daze, and when he saw that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he coughed lightly, "Qi Niang, do you still like tea?" ”

"yes, I like it." Su Yan bent his eyebrows and nodded, in a very good mood.

The emperor said very generously: "Jia Xi, send all the tongues to the crown princess." ”

Su Yan was not polite, and stood up and bowed, "Father Xie." ”

The prince poked his father, "What about mine? ”

"You don't!" The emperor said angrily.

The prince took off the mutton fat jade pendant from the emperor's waist, threw it in his hand and played with it, and said unceremoniously: "This belongs to me." ”

Emperor: "......" is in the groove, and there is a robbery!

The emperor and the crown prince had a quarrel, and the anger that had just been annoyed by the feast was more than halfway gone, and his face became more and more relaxed, and he even asked very kindly: "Qi Niang, I didn't eat enough just now, if you want to eat something, I will let the imperial dining room do it." ”

Su Yan tilted her head and thought about it, Ying Ying smiled: "It's better to let the sons go and give their father a bowl of longevity noodles." ”

The emperor's heart warmed, and he nodded slowly: "Okay." ”

Su Yan smiled sweetly at her husband who came over with concern, and then turned her head sideways to Jia Xi and said, "There is Lao Jia's father-in-law, take me to the imperial dining room." ”

The prince chased after him and kept instructing, "Look at the ignition, don't get hot." ”

The emperor's black line: "Don't worry, you just follow!" ”

The prince really had this heart, Su Yan nudged her husband, "I'm fine, you talk to your father." ”
