Chapter 468: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
This is a pleasant surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Previously, Tang Fei only knew that Liu Ying had been constantly improving since the Dragon Boat Festival, who knew that it would be so good!
Looking at it like this at the birthday banquet, it's no different from before.
The big stone in Tang Fei's mind seemed to have finally fallen to the ground, no longer weighing on it so heavily, making people breathless.
Although Tang Fei didn't want to admit it.
But Tang Fei has always felt a little guilty about Liu Ying.
This guilt is somewhat unreasonable, but it is also real.
In fact, strictly speaking, an emperor seems to have no 'true love' in the first place.
Tang Fei felt the same way before.
But as time goes by, Tang Fei's relationship with the emperor is getting deeper and deeper, and each other is becoming more and more important, and everything that used to be 'should' seems to have become less important.
Tang Fei is very selfish, so selfish that he doesn't want to share the emperor with others.
This is a matter of course in modern times, and there is nothing to criticize.
But in ancient times, especially in the royal family of feudal society, this was a big mistake!
It may be difficult to understand with our modern values, but when everyone around you tells you what is right to do, then you have to 'obey the majority'.
Tang Fei has always been able to follow the local customs, and she is even more 'a handsome person who knows the times', she never hits a stone with an egg when she wants to do something, but slowly tries it through her own efforts.
Quite simply, is family planning the right thing to do?
It was a wise choice under the circumstances.
But in some countries where the birth rate is very low, the government is even encouraging fertility through various policies!
Whether you want family planning or encourage childbearing, there will always be a lot of truths, a lot of very convincing truths, and these truths will become your values and become a matter of course.
It's like living together before marriage, which in the sixties and seventies was unimaginable.
But what about now? This is a normal thing.
If you go back to the Qing Dynasty, there is even a saying that you are trying to marry a girl.
But if it was the Song Dynasty, it would have become a big rebellion.
Further back, in primitive society, let alone cohabitation before marriage, promiscuity is normal.
Do you think this is progress or regression?
If there were no Tang Fei, without the 'untimely' love between her and the emperor, then the emperor would become a standard emperor, and there would not be so many lonely women in the harem, and even Liu Ying would not have any 'emotional illness'.
This is Tang Fei's guilt.
But even if he feels guilty, Tang Fei will not take the initiative to give the emperor to others.
This is Tang Fei's character.
Man is indeed an animal of contradictions.
Now that Tang Fei saw that Liu Ying was safe and sound, and even appeared at such a crowded birthday banquet, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart. It's just that it's not a place to talk quietly, so Tang Fei just smiled at Liu Ying, and the two of them looked at each other, both of them had a heart.
The people who should have come have arrived, and the people who have to wait have also arrived, and the birthday feast has officially begun.
Although it is a birthday banquet, it is actually not much different from most other court banquets.
If there is a difference, it is that the traditional cabaret performance is followed by the addition of opera performances.
This opera is sung by Tang Fei's masterpiece "Mulan" a few days ago.
Now this "Mulan" can be regarded as popular all over the world, men, women and children, adults and children all like it.
Seeing that the works he created were so popular with everyone, Tang Fei's heart was also extremely proud and satisfied.
But speaking of which, the emperor personally came to the birthday banquet, there are good places, and there are really not so good places.
If nothing else, let's just say that these new concubines who have entered the palace are all 'drunkards don't mean to drink'.
The old people in the palace are just fine, they have hit a wall with Tang Fei again and again, even if they don't learn to be obedient, they know that they have converged a lot.
But this time the new show girls in the palace are different, they are all 'recent college graduates', with full of ambition and pretentiousness, bent on conquering the emperor with their charm.
Most of these fresh girls have not yet touched the wall, so they naturally will not put the 'old, weak, sick and disabled' virtuous concubine in their eyes, in their opinion, this Laoshizi birthday banquet is just a springboard on the road to their favor, and it is just a matter of stepping on it.
It is precisely because of this that although it is a child's birthday party, most of these women's clothes are out of place.
The exposed arms of the exposed arms, the exposed thighs of the exposed thighs, are very close to charm, but they are not the same.
After listening to the song for a while, I also watched a play, since it was a birthday party, the most important thing was to invite the birthday star to appear.
Princess Sheng Qiong has already come.
It's just that Concubine Xian is really a good mother, and the girl who feels sorry for her is hot, sunbathing, and noisy, so she sent a little palace maid and a little eunuch to take her to rest and play in the small pavilion by the Qingyi Lake on the side.
At this time, it was time to give a gift to the birthday star, so the nurse brought it over.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and Princess Sheng Qiong seems to have grown up a lot.
When I looked at it before, it was just a cute little ball of ice and snow, but when I looked at it again, I already had some girlish beauty.
I have to say that this ancient girl is really precocious.
What surprised Tang Fei a little was that Concubine Xian also looked a lot better.
When I looked at it before, I looked like a dead old man who was about to die, but when I looked at it this time, it seemed that my cheeks were more rosy, and my face was more radiant, and I showed some beauty and charm that should have belonged to this age.
But the emperor clearly said that the virtuous concubine might not survive the next winter?
Looking at Concubine Xian, who had been smiling all the time, four words suddenly appeared in Tang Fei's mind: 'Back to the light', and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart for a while.
The nurse put Princess Sheng Qiong on Concubine Xian's lap, but Princess Sheng Qiong was not happy, and jumped off Concubine Xian's lap almost immediately, and ran to the emperor at a trot.
Compared with the time of the Peach Blossom Banquet, Princess Sheng Qiong has indeed grown a lot, both in appearance and in hiding her emotions.
But in the end, it was a child, and all the adults present were there, no matter how well he covered it up, it was still impossible to ignore the disgust and disgust that flashed on her face.
"Father, you can come to Sheng Qiong's birthday banquet, Sheng Qiong is so happy!" Princess Sheng Qiong threw herself into the emperor's arms and looked at the emperor innocently with a raised face.
Although the emperor is already a father, he is busy with official business all day long, and he doesn't care about these concubines, and he doesn't see much of these children.
The emperor obviously didn't expect that the little princess he hadn't seen for a long time could still remember him, and he was so close to him, obviously a little overwhelmed.
However, in the end, blood is thicker than water, and there is an innate sense of closeness between father and child that cannot be seen or touched.
The emperor smiled and touched Princess Sheng Qiong's head: "Sheng Qiong's birthday banquet, my father will naturally come to attend." ”
