Chapter 40. His Majesty's Birthday Ceremony
Sheng Jingyu said goodbye to Concubine Shu and returned to the imperial study.
Seeing that he had forgotten to put away the notebook on the desk before leaving, he thought about it and opened the page with the bookmark in it.
The scholar stayed in the small building, incarnated as a little scholar, and accompanied the demon fox.
The demon fox paints, the scholar grinds, the red sleeves add fragrance, and the piano is harmonious.
The two lingered in love and had a great time at the desk.
The sound of glamour is endless.
Seeing this, Sheng Jingyu suddenly substituted for herself.
Almonds grind, he reads and folds.
Almond was clumsy and sprinkled ink on him.
She said, "Your Majesty, I'll wipe it for you." ”
Then those soft and tender little hands slid from his chest all the way to his body, causing thousands of flames along the way.
He was itching, but she looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of me?"
The picture turned into the Mid-Autumn Festival, in his bedroom.
Almond changed out of clothes behind the screen, dressed in slim red, outlining a slender waist and soft body curves.
He was happy to see it, but she turned around, and she didn't know her beauty.
She asked curiously, "Your Majesty, how is it?" Is it good-looking? ”
Sheng Jingyu remembers that he said "okay" at the time.
However, every time she appeared in his dream, she was dressed in red.
Beautiful eyes, clever smile.
Sheng Jingyu felt that she should be the fox in the script.
Otherwise, how could he be willingly bewitched.
Sheng Jingyu sighed, came back to his senses, and closed the notebook with a frown.
He threw the notebook into a hidden corner, and after a few moments of recital, he went back to his dormitory.
A man bathes, and no one else serves.
For several days, he didn't go to see Almond, not knowing what he was trying to escape.
As a result, Almond never asked to see him, not even out of the door.
It's been quiet these days, and I don't know what I'm doing.
Sheng Jingyu suddenly felt that she was being treated unequally.
He thought about her, but she seemed to treat him completely as something dispensable.
He couldn't sit still, he was going to find her!

Almond didn't know Sheng Jingyu's complicated thoughts these days, she only nested in the room every day to tinker with the birthday gift for Sheng Jingyu.
When she heard footsteps outside the door, she shrewdly hid her things.
So when Sheng Jingyu came in, she only saw her pretending to read the script.
He glanced at the thin sweat on Almond's forehead and asked, "Is this interesting?" ”
Almond just took a copy of it, and she hadn't read this one yet, so she didn't know if it was interesting.
But when His Majesty asked, she would definitely answer "interesting".
"You've been reading the script in your room for the past few days?"
Almond nodded, "Well, didn't Your Majesty let me go out?" ”
"So obedient?" Sheng Jingyuhu was suspicious, and asked again: "Is it hot in the room?" ”
Almonds are a little inexplicable and confusing.
"It's not hot."
Yesterday just passed the frost, today is cold, why does Your Majesty ask like this?
Almond was puzzled, but saw Sheng Jingyu reach out and touch her forehead.
"Then why are you still sweating?"
Yikes! It must be that she is too serious about making gifts, and her hands are constantly busy, so she is a little sweaty.
But the gift was a surprise she was going to give to Sheng Jingyu, and she couldn't let him know it yet.
Almond rolled his eyes and said, "Hmm...... I just wandered around the room a few times with my notebook, and I may have had some fever. ”
Hanging out in the room?
The corners of Sheng Jingyu's mouth twitched, and she didn't continue the topic.
"Tomorrow you can go out and go somewhere with me."
Tomorrow?
Isn't tomorrow His Majesty's birthday?
Almond understood, Your Majesty is a surprise for her.
So she also pretended not to know, and asked curiously, "Where to go?" ”
Sheng Jingyu hooked the corners of his mouth: "You'll know when you go." ”
Almond nodded obediently.
On the second day, when Sheng Jingyu led her to the banquet, she pretended to be surprised.
"Your Majesty, today is your birthday! Why didn't you tell me earlier, I haven't prepared a gift for you yet! ”
The banquet was extremely luxurious, and when Concubine Shu saw them come in, she nodded lightly, and sat down next to the first seat.
Sheng Jingyu took her to the first seat and said:
"I sit on the country, what gifts can I scarce for you."
Sheng Jingyu is telling the truth.
The first part of the beginning of the Wanshou Festival is the birthday gift.
Those rare treasures, antique paintings and other rare objects, Sheng Jingyu only said "good" lightly when he saw it.
It can be seen that he has really seen too many good things, and nothing is rare.
Almond saw that the time was almost up, so he approached Sheng Jingyu and said, "Your Majesty, I'm in a hurry, go out first." ”
Sheng Jingyu glanced at her, saw that she looked anxious, and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”
Almond left the table, but instead of going to the toilet, he went directly to the imperial dining room.
These days, she has been thinking about what to give Sheng Jingyu, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to send a dish.
A special dish.
Almonds used to stay in the imperial dining room for so long, and many dishes were made even though they had only been seen.
She learned this dish by stealing from a teacher in the imperial dining room.
She had already greeted the head of the imperial dining room, so she could start directly at this time.
The things she needed were ready in the morning, and now she could make the dish in less than a pillar of incense.

On the other side, at the feast
The concubines offered all kinds of strange things to attract Sheng Jingyu's attention, among which Concubine Su also offered a pair of mandarin duck embroidery.
"In order to embroider this mandarin duck, the concubine has studied for a long time~ I don't know that my fingers have been pierced countless times. But although her fingers hurt, as long as the concubine thinks that this is for His Majesty, her heart is sweet. ”
Concubine Su was shy and timid, and delicately stretched out her five fingers that were tightly wrapped in a gauze scarf, so pitiful.
Sheng Jingyu looked at the splendid mandarin ducks handed over, the embroidery was quite detailed, and it seemed that there was blood integrated into it if she looked closely.
Look at Concubine Su again, although she is not liked by him, she is also a childhood sweetheart, a playmate who grew up together.
He muttered: "Concubine Ai has worked hard, and I will go to sit with you when I have time later." ”
Concubine Su was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That concubine is waiting for Your Majesty." ”
The faces of the other concubines were colorful, but Concubine Su's family background was strong, so they could only secretly envy and hate in their hearts.
The next one is the sound of the qin, and the sound of the qin is a picture of flowers and birds, and Sheng Jingyu is very satisfied after reading it.
Although he let Qinyin enter the palace at that time, he just wanted to anger those courtiers whose hearts were higher than the sky.
But everyone has the heart of cherishing talents.
"Yes, no worse than the literary masters."
After receiving the appreciation, Qin Yin only smiled indifferently, but Concubine Su on the side almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.
After that, it was the courtiers who offered gifts, Sheng Jingyu nodded, thinking about a certain little guy in his heart.
How did the little guy go for so long? Didn't you fall inside?
Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
The birthday gifts given by the ministers are nothing more than those, they are all similar to previous years, and Sheng Jingyu lacks interest.
Li Chen sent a sword, and Brother Wang gave a jade Buddha, and he accepted it with a smile.
However, Fu Jungu's gift this time was a bit unique.
