Chapter 40: The Birthday Banquet

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Wen Di came to the Seventeenth Palace, and his relationship with Yu Chi Jincheng has become increasingly close. The two often traveled together, walking in the garden, or tasting the food cooked by Wen Di himself, but he never stayed overnight in the Art Ink Garden, nor did he summon her to go to bed. Over time, Wen Di had a hard time getting close to him and getting Ding Yuebi.

A few days ago, Shu Jiuchen reappeared to remind her not to forget her mission. Wen Di tried to find out his identity several times, but failed.

However, she also noticed a wonderful change in her body. Since she blocked a sword for Yu Chi Jincheng and was injured, after the conditioning of the Qiankun magic trick in her body, she vaguely discovered that there was a "qi" in her body. That "qi" is usually hidden in the dantian, but every night, after she falls asleep, she will have the same dream.

In the dream, a man would come to her, practice with her, guide the "qi" in her body, and kiss her deeply at the end and say goodbye to her.

Wen Di didn't know if this was real or illusory, every time she woke up, it didn't look like someone had been there, but the faint fragrance of flowers left in the air convinced her that that person must exist!

She once suspected that Wei Chi Jincheng knew about her "Qiankun Magic Trick", but in fact, she repeatedly observed that he really didn't know anything about it. So, it was someone else who inspired the magic trick that day and helped her heal her wounds!

Wen Di really couldn't understand who would secretly help her in this palace, could it be that the person who inspired her Qiankun magic trick was the "help in the palace" mentioned by Shu Jiuchen? If that's the case, just teach her to practice, why do you have to affectionately drop a gentle kiss on her lips?

Thinking of this, Wen Di couldn't help blushing, and in order to calm his mood, he picked up the jade flute in his hand and played it again.

The early summer sun shone in through the window, and Wen Di stood in front of the window, lowered his eyes and raised his fingers, and between his mouth, he threaded the note into a thread and sent it out, and only taught the bird on the branch to stop and listen quietly.

"Papapa", after the song ended, applause came, followed by a warm voice said: "Concubine Ai is playing the flute again, it is really 'this song should only exist in the sky, it is rare to hear it a few times in the world'!" ”

Wen Di turned his head to look at the door, Yu Chi Jincheng was wearing a black gown today, lined with pale yellow brocade, which made his figure even longer. There was a faint smile on the face that was enough to charm all beings, and she was applauding her performance.

"The prince smiled." Wen Di got up from his seat, came to him, and said with a faint smile, "The prince came so early today, could it be that he went down early?" ”

Yu Chi Jincheng stretched his arms lightly and took her in his arms: "Look at what you said, my father has a lot of opportunities, and he can't be busy, how can he go to court in advance?" ”

Wen Di smiled lightly, and rubbed it into his arms and said, "Then it means that the prince used to be struggling and refused to come to the concubine." ”

When Yu Chi Jincheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Concubine Ai said this, is it because the king is late?" ”

Speaking of this, he supported the thin waist of Wendi Yang Liu with both hands, came to the stool and sat down in three or two steps, and put her on his lap: "This king went down to the court today, and he deliberately hurried to the Yimo Garden of the concubine, and he has not yet asked the concubine for a reward, but you said that he deliberately dragged it out in the past." ”

Wen Di covered his mouth and chuckled: "The prince came in such a hurry today, is there something wrong?" ”

Yu Chi Jincheng hugged her arm and said tightly: "The day after tomorrow is my father's birthday, and this king plans to bring his concubine into the palace." ”

In the palace of the Vain Dynasty, the eunuchs and palace maids who came in and out were busy in an orderly manner, and today was the 60th birthday of the emperor of the Vain Dynasty, Yu Chi Longcheng. I have to say that as the king of a country, he has some means, and it is in vain that the dynasty has been able to dominate the world for so many years, and he has his outstanding contributions.

Wen Di followed Yu Chi Jincheng into the palace, the splendid palace, the rows of pavilions, is really much more magnificent than the Seventeen Palaces. Just peeked at Wei Chi Jincheng, he didn't have a sense of joy of "going home" to visit his father, but showed a faint resistance between his eyebrows.

Resist?

Wen Di didn't understand why he thought of this word, maybe Yu Chi Jincheng thought that entering the palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday this time would not be so easy to show it, right?

Walking along the gate of the palace, Wen Di observed the forbidden city, under the red wall and green tiles, there was a solemn-strict-solemn-solemn, and from time to time there were columns of guards patrolling and saluting them. Following the footsteps of the eunuchs, they came to the Jiying Palace, where the delicacies were still being passed on before the meal, but a few people were already standing there.

"Old Seventeen, why are you here?" From a distance, I saw the third prince, Chi Fengxuan, waving at Chi Jincheng, and there was a slightly younger man standing next to him.

"Third brother, seventh brother." Yu Chi Jincheng took Wen Di's hand and stepped forward and nodded to them slightly.

"Yo, Old Seventeen, I brought your Concubine Wen here again today, it seems that your relationship is quite good!" Yu Chi Fengxuan squeezed his eyes at Wei Chi Jincheng and said, "Otherwise, you can mention it to your father, and just straighten her out!" ”

Yu Chi Jincheng dealt with it with a smile, and the seventh prince next to him, Wei Chi Zhangyue, said: "Third brother, look at you, every time you make fun of our seventeenth brother, beware of him in front of his father for a while." ”

When Yu Chi Fengxuan heard this, he laughed and said, "You are the same as you, and your heart is so small?" He wouldn't, wouldn't he? ”

Yu Chi Jincheng hooked his lips, looked at the two brothers and said: "Today, my father is 60 years old, you and my brothers, naturally we want to be harmonious, my father hopes that our brothers and friends will be respectful, so that the world will be peaceful and the four seas will be peaceful." ”

"Yes, Seventeen is right!" Before the two princes could answer, a relatively weak voice came from behind, and everyone looked at the voice, only to see a man who was more charming than Yu Chi Jincheng coming slowly.

"Old Fourteen?!" Yu Chi Fengxuan shouted in surprise: "Your body looks better!" ”

The fourteenth prince Wei Chi Mo, his bewitching face is extremely pale, but he likes red clothes, today's red is extremely eye-catching, even his pale complexion is much better.

"Thank you for your concern." Wei Chimo came to the brothers, and after greeting him, he raised his eyes and saw Wen Di, and asked slightly sideways: "Seventeenth brother, could it be that this is the side concubine you newly accepted into the door, the daughter of Wen Wuji, Miss Wen Di?" ”

Yu Chi Jincheng's heart moved, and he nodded slightly: "Exactly." Brother Fourteen's news is really well-informed, and he even knows about her mother's family. ”

"Hehe......" Yu Chimo smiled faintly and said, "Who doesn't know that Lord Wen and the seventeenth brother were friendly to you back then, and even entrusted your daughter to you, but it's a pity that Lord Wen is such a good person, but he died young......" said as if intentionally, as if unintentionally glancing at Wendi's reaction.

Hearing the flute, he lowered his eyes, looked at his nose, and looked at his heart, and did not answer, but secretly wrote down the conversations of these people in his heart. It seems that Yu Chi Jincheng brought her into the palace, and it was really not as simple as congratulating her birthday.

While several princes were chatting, a eunuch beckoned them to sit down, obviously the emperor was coming. Pulling Wen Di to his seat, the little eunuch said, "The emperor has arrived", and everyone stood up, shouted long live to the emperor's mountain, and bowed their heads.

Yu Chi Longcheng is an old man in good spirits. Although he is this age, he still walks like a fly due to proper maintenance. The dragon walked under his feet, looked down at the courtiers, and after standing still, he opened his hands and said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

said that it was a palace banquet, but it was boring, but the enthusiasm that should be shown still had to be there. As a side concubine, Wen Di should not have appeared here, but the emperor favored Yu Chi Jincheng, and he was extremely generous to Wen Di, and he didn't care about her sitting here.

Later, the princes presented gifts to the emperor, watching a noble jade carving, a precious painting, and a piece of rare treasures being presented, Yu Chilong accepted it politely with a smile. It's just that these gifts are valuable, but they lack some novelty, and Wen Di can see that Yu Chi Longcheng doesn't like it very much.

Yu Chi Jincheng quietly pulled Wendi's hand and said in a low voice: "Concubine Ai, it's up to you next." ”

Wen Di raised his eyes, looked at the glint in his eyes, nodded and said, "Lord, the concubines must do their best." ”

Yu Chi Jincheng nodded, and when it was his turn, he took Wendi's hand and walked up.

"Father, today's congratulatory gift for the son's ministers was presented to his father by the side concubine Wendi." After Yu Chi Jincheng finished speaking, he left the stage to her, turned around and stood aside.

Hearing the flute, he was not stage frightened, and blessed the emperor, so he took out the jade flute and put it to his lips and played it.

Her flute sound is already faint, and when she is playing, she faintly uses the magic tricks in her body, and the sound of the flute is even better. When all the princes and ministers heard this, they were all intoxicated, and the birds of the sky stopped at it.

The sound of the flute suddenly turned, like a hundred birds like a forest, and then someone pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look, what is that?" ”

I saw that the sky above the imperial city instantly turned into a black oppression, and a group of birds chirped and flew towards the Jiying Palace, flying around the flute, and then landed everywhere in the banquet for people to enjoy.

On the emperor's side, a blue-feathered peacock fell, dragging its long tail feathers, walking around in front of the car.

Everyone was very surprised, that is, after hearing the flute, the birds still lingered for a long time before gradually taking off into the air, it was the blue feather peacock, which also stayed obediently by Yu Chi Longcheng's side for a long time before leaving.

For a while, all the ministers discussed one after another, and they all said that this was a good omen.

After hearing the flute, he bowed down slightly and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, the concubine is coming to the court, it is an auspicious omen, it seems that God indicates that my lord is auspicious for all generations, and he will be healthy forever!" The concubines hereby congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! I wish Your Majesty eternal power and longevity! ”

Yu Chi Jincheng also stepped forward and presented a porcelain vase to him: "Father, this is a son who is looking for the four seas, and a longevity pill refined by the above ancient immortal recipe is dedicated to his father." I wish my father and the emperor eternal and longevity! ”

All the ministers also stood up in unison and saluted Yu Chi Longcheng: "I wish Your Majesty eternal power and longevity!" ”

After hearing this, Yu Chi Longcheng laughed heartily. He hadn't been so happy for a long time, this Wen Wuji's daughter was really interesting, she was able to attract a hundred birds with the sound of a flute, this old seventeen had her, and she was really blessed!

"Hearing the song of the side concubine, I am very sad, this elixir of the old seventeen is very much in line with my intentions! Spread the decree, reward the first two gold of the seventeen palaces, 100 brocades, and three sets of jewelry. ”

"Emperor Xie (Father)!" Wen Di and Wei Chi Jincheng both bowed down and thanked him.
