Several people then got out of the carriage and stood at the gate of the palace, waiting for Ye Moqing to walk in first.

Ye Moqing naturally understood that according to reason, he should indeed go in first, so he did not hesitate and walked straight into Wenli Palace.

Wenli Palace is especially lively, almost all the civil and military officials come to celebrate Concubine Li's birthday, Concubine Li and the emperor sit directly above, their faces are full of joyful smiles, although the queen on the side is also laughing, you can obviously feel a trace of displeasure on her face.

"See the emperor, the queen, Concubine Li, this son wishes Concubine Li's eternal youth and happiness in her old age." Ye Moqing didn't kneel, but just bent over casually.

Although Concubine Li was not very happy in her heart, she didn't say much, after all, she couldn't afford to mess with this ancestor, and it was already very good that Moqing could come to celebrate her birthday tonight.

I think that after Ye Moqing came to Linfeng Kingdom, he gave a total of two people a birthday celebration, one is the queen, and the other is her, she still has a lot of face.

"Weichen see the emperor, the queen, Concubine Li, I wish Concubine Li, I wish Concubine Li, all wishes come true!" Suning Hai bent his knees, made a slight noise when he knelt on the floor, and kowtowed respectfully.

Li Wenshu also pulled Su Xiayan to kneel down with Su Ninghai, maintaining a kind smile on her face, without losing the momentum of the princess.

Su Xiaran squinted at Concubine Li, and knelt down slowly, without making a sound.

It's just that since she came in just now, all the people at this banquet have already stopped their eyes on her, and they can't take their eyes off, and the people in front of them are so beautiful that they are a little distracted.

"No courtesy, take a seat, today is Concubine Li's birthday, all Aiqing don't have to be polite, enjoy yourself." Emperor Yan Yiyang waved his hand, and the imperial aura was fully displayed, worthy of being the king of a country.

Ye Moqing nodded, got up and found his place to sit down, his whole body exuded the aura of being unapproachable, and that position also separated those princess ministers, only one child in blue sat next to Ye Moqing, and the child in blue was smiling and very happy.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Su Ninghai got permission, then slowly got up and sat in a row with the three people behind him.

Soon, some dancers walked up with light steps, and their long sleeves waved a beautiful arc, accompanied by bursts of piano sounds, which couldn't help but make people lose their souls.

Here, the boy in blue tugged at Ye Moqing's black sleeves and pouted, "Second brother, you haven't looked at me since you just looked at me, who are you looking at?" ”

Ye Moqing shifted his gaze to him and said, "Yuqing, I'm looking for my sister for you." ”

Yan Yuqing was slightly stunned, and didn't react for a moment, "Sister? Second brother, which sister are you talking about? Yan Yuqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little nervous.

"I remember you once told me that your biological sister has a pendant that is exactly the same as yours, and when I went out of the palace today, I saw it by chance, and it was on Su Xiaran." Ye Moqing lowered his voice and whispered in Yan Yuqing's ear.

Yan Yuqing's heart tightened, her pupils constricted, and she looked at Su Xiaran sitting opposite in disbelief, dragging the stool with her little hands, as if she was dragging his hanging heart.

Ye Moqing wouldn't lie to him, he said that if he saw it, he must have seen it.

Su Xiaran was picking up a grape and wanted to peel it and eat it, but he raised his eyes slightly, but suddenly looked at Yan Yuqing's clean and thorough black eyes, burning and shining, as if he was studying something.

The gaze was too hot, Su Xiaran was a little flustered, hurriedly turned his gaze, and was caught off guard with Ye Moqing's ink eyes, Ye Moqing's eyes were not shocked, looking at Su Xiaran quietly, and the depths of the ink eyes could be seen to be doted together.

"Miss, why is your face a little red? Is it cold? Hongyue saw that Su Xiaran's face was slightly red, and she was a little worried.

Su Xiaran coughed, settled down, turned his eyes to look at Hongyue, and comforted: "I'm fine, but I'm not used to this kind of lively scene." ”

Hongyue nodded understandingly, leaned into Su Xiaran's ear and whispered to her, "Miss, do you want to find a quiet place to rest?" ”

Su Xiaran thought for a while, wiped the water stains on his hands, and said, "Yes, but be careful." ”

Su Xiaran was about to get up, and when she turned her head, she saw that the eyes of the sons and brothers of those dignitaries were all on her, and she suddenly froze.

With so many people looking at her, how else could she go?

"Forget it, I don't think we can leave." Su Xiaran lowered her head in frustration and tapped the table boringly.

And Su Xiayan on the side, after seeing the eyes of those sons and brothers, secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that they were looking at her.

The dancing girl retreated, and the ministers all stood up, holding the wine glass in their hands, and respectfully said to the emperor and Concubine Li above: "The ministers wish Concubine Li Niangniang eternal happiness." ”

"Thank you for your blessings, this concubine toasts you." Yan Yiyang and Concubine Li both smiled happily, were very satisfied with the compliments of these people, and also picked up a glass of wine and drank it.

After the toast, Su Ninghai suddenly pulled Su Xiayan to stand up and said to Concubine Li: "Concubine Li, courtier daughter Su Xiayan, I heard that today is Concubine Li's birthday, so I specially prepared a thin gift for Concubine Li. ”

Concubine Li smiled lightly and replied gently: "Yes, Yan'er is really the niece of this concubine, and this concubine is looking forward to Yan'er's gift." ”

"Concubine Li, Yan'er is dedicated to Niangniang with a phoenix prisoner." As soon as Su Xiayan's words came out, the queen next to her immediately darkened her face and looked displeased.

The queen was also present today, and Su Xiayan actually played a song for Concubine Li, and she was really bold.

Su Xiaran shook his head and looked at the gentle and harmless smile on Su Xiayan's face with disdain.

As soon as Su Xiayan's words fell, he saw several maidservants carrying a piano up, placing it in the center safely, and then retreating to the side.

Su Xiayan walked to the middle, sat down slowly, chuckled, and then began to play.

The sound of the piano was curling, the cold wind was blowing lightly, and the sound of Su Xiayan's piano reached everyone's ears, and many people couldn't help but praise it a little more, and Li Wenshu nodded with satisfaction.

And Su Xiayan is like a fairy in the eyes of everyone at the moment, as if she is playing the most moving music in the world.

At the end of the song, Su Xiaran applauded first, and then everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly agreed, and there was only applause left on the field in an instant, and it took a while to stop.

"This eldest lady of the Su family is really the first talented woman in An Shicheng, not only is she beautiful, but she also plays the piano well, the king of the county is really happy." I don't know who suddenly came up with such a sentence in the audience, which drove others to echo and praise one after another.

Su Xiayan lowered her head shyly, her face flushed, and she was extremely shy.

"However, I still think that the beauty of the second miss of the Su family is even better." As soon as these words came out, the field became even more boiling, Su Xiayan's face was pale, and he sat there with a blue face, not to go, not to go.

"That's right, if you want me to say, the king of the county didn't let this Second Miss Su go out before, and I think I was afraid that a mere concubine would steal the limelight." An old minister next to Su Xiaran whispered to the person next to him, although his voice was small, Li Wenshu and Su Ninghai could hear it clearly, and his expression was slightly stiff.

"These people are still discerning, don't you say, second brother?" Yan Yuqing was extremely happy when she heard these people praising Su Xiaran, as if they were praising themselves.

The originally joyful banquet had been covered by this burst of discussions, and Concubine Li and the emperor, who were still happy, had already put away their smiles and looked at the people below quietly, waiting for an opportunity to shut them up.

Ye Moqing elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said coldly: "You are also very discerning." ”

Yan Yuqing rolled her eyes, her dark eyes lit up, "Second brother, you actually said that my sister is good-looking?" This is unprecedented. After speaking, he muttered again: "It seems that my sister's charm is really not an ordinary ......."

Ye Moqing ignored Yan Yuqing's words and continued to stare at Su Xiaran, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Presumably the second lady of the Su family is sitting there, right?" Just as Yan Yiyang was about to speak, the queen Mu Shujing on the side took a step ahead of him.

Su Xiaran got up slowly, her face was flat, and she replied, "The courtier Su Xiaran has seen the queen's mother. ”

When Su Xiayan saw Mu Shujing mention Su Xiaran, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and hurriedly stood up and grabbed the words: "Queen Mother, this is the younger sister of the courtier, she is relatively shy and does not have much contact with outsiders." ”

Mu Shujing squinted her eyes and looked at Su Xiayan very unhappily, the song she played just now had already made her unhappy, and now she came to interject again, did she want to completely anger her?

However, in Su Xiayan's opinion, her words would only make the queen feel that she was sensible, knew that she loved her sister, and by the way, she could please her, so that she could marry the crown prince Yanchenxuan.

Yan Chenxuan looked at the three of them for a while, shook his head slightly, knowing that his queen mother was angry, showing a mocking smile, and he didn't know who to show it, and then his eyes shifted to Su Xiaran.

"Then what does Miss Su mean that this palace is an outsider?" The queen's gaze stared straight at Su Xiayan, and Su Xiayan looked up at Mu Shujing's gaze and was speechless for a while.

The queen sneered and said, "That's right, Concubine Li is your aunt, and this palace is indeed an outsider." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Li on the side had already darkened her face, clutching her fists tightly, and her face became more and more ugly.

Su Xiayan panicked and explained: "Queen Mother, the courtiers don't mean this, the courtiers are just anxious for a while, afraid that my sister will say something disrespectful to the queen mother, so I said such a thing, and asked the queen to forgive the courtiers." ”

"Huh." The queen snorted coldly and didn't answer her words.

When Su Ninghai and Li Wenshu saw that their daughter had made Mu Shujing unhappy, their hearts hung up, and they were restless.

Su Xiaran quietly watched Su Xiayan digging his grave there, and the expression on his face made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or worried.

There was a tense aura condensed in the air, the field was quiet instantly, and no one dared to say more, at this moment, Ye Moqing suddenly stood up, glanced at Su Xiayan, and said: "The queen doesn't have to worry about a little concubine, don't let people make any jokes." Besides, Miss Su Er was still waiting for the queen's words. ”

Mu Shujing looked at Ye Moqing, gave him a light smile back, and said after a long time: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is that this palace is not so stingy, and this palace does not care about a relative or friend of the Su family. ”

"Enough!" Yan Yiyang suddenly slapped the wooden table, and his sudden move made Concubine Li beside him tremble, apparently frightened.

"Queen, the Su family is the king of the county after all, no matter what, you shouldn't speak in this tone."

The queen was stunned for a moment, suddenly sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you favor Concubine Li on weekdays, today the eldest lady of the Su family humiliates the palace so much, does the palace have to swallow her anger because she is Concubine Li's niece?" No matter how you say that this palace is also the mother of a country, where is there still the posture of the queen in such a low voice, then this palace might as well give up the position of the queen to Concubine Li! ”
