The emperor's birthday banquet is here in the blink of an eye.

First of all, I had to do the crown salute, and I had to get up before dawn, the dress was very heavy, layer by layer, and on this hot day, I was almost stuffed with prickly heat.

In fact, he should have done this crown ceremony a long time ago.

Whether he became the crown prince or later seized power and succeeded to the throne, Bai Li Xian suddenly felt as if every most important moment in his life was in a hurry.

No, at least his wedding with the queen is well prepared, from beginning to end, although boring and tiring, it is exciting.

Baili Xian is like a delicate doll, at the mercy of the palace maid and the chamberlain, and finally Ying Rong tied the jade belt for him.

"Your Majesty ......" Ying Rong called happily, his eyes were red, but he called this sentence, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence for a long time, and his throat and eyes were like blocked cotton.

How much suffering did his little emperor suffer?

Baili Xian smiled: "On my birthday, what are you crying about?" ”

"The minions are happy." Ying Rong rubbed the corners of his eyes, and the place was even redder.

Baili Xian smiled even more happily, and reached out and rubbed a few handfuls on Ying Rong's head.

They are of the same age, they grew up together, in addition to their status, they trust each other, there is no barrier, Baili Xian will say anything to Ying Rong, his troubles, his happiness, his ups and downs, all of them, Ying Rong knows.

At that crumbling time, only Ying Rong was by his side.

Later, he ascended the throne, and then he got married, and now he is crowning, and finally justifiably becoming an adult, Ying Rong is here, and he hopes that in the next hundred years, Ying Rong can also be there.

performed the crown salute, and the emperor, he could accept it with peace of mind.

At this time, in the general's mansion, Bai Li Ye was also dressing, Li Tong was the most impatient to dress him with those layered things, she herself was not happy to get up early, but the emperor's crown ceremony was a big deal, she had not been out of the cabinet before, she could hide in the prime minister's mansion to avoid, now that she is an adult wife, she is still the aunt of the current emperor, she has to go.

Lazily pulled up from the bed, and when he was pressed in front of the dresser, Li Tong closed his eyes and let the feather curtain play on his face, and then he was led out of the house by Bai Li Ye with his eyes closed and pushed onto the sedan chair.

"I entered the palace for a while, but I can't do this anymore, I'm also an aunt, most of the royal people, I have to fight for Li Xiang's anger and fight for your nephew's face." Baili Ye hugged her and whispered in her ear.

Li Tong plucked out his ears and closed his eyes: "I know, I will never drop the chain." ”

Today's sun has not yet climbed to the top of the head, and people are about to take off half of their skin, and they are still wearing at least five or six layers of clothes, Li Tong is so hot that she is sweating, and the inside of her clothes is wet and sticky, which makes her extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Li Ye glanced at her and moved in front of her, so as to block half of the sun.

Li Tong pursed his lips, put his head on Bai Li Ye's back, and said sullenly: "It's so hot!" ”

Bai Li Ye took out a handkerchief from his arms, turned around, and carefully wiped the sweat for her, in order to avoid her delicate makeup being stained, Bai Li Ye wiped it very carefully.

"Soon, wait."

"Okay."

The officials who were talking nearby looked over one after another, and their eyes couldn't help but show a little surprise.

Wu Mengquan was also in the crowd, and there were almost a dozen people between him and Baili Ye, and after a glance from a distance, he turned his head again.

And Li Xiang and Li Yinzhi also arrived early, originally Li Yinzhi was going to come over to say hello, but was dragged by Li Xiang, and at this time, he also saw Bai Li Ye blocking the sun and wiping sweat for Li Tong, and couldn't help but show a trace of surprise, and then the playfulness in his eyes gradually rose.

The first emperor has passed away, and the only one who can give the emperor a crown salute is the queen mother.

The Queen Mother has never liked to go out of the palace, she doesn't like to move, many things can be lazy, and if she can push, she will push, and at this time she also stepped into the gate of the Royal Temple early.

Qingqi does not have the rules of the emperor's death and the martyrdom of the concubines, except for the queen mother, most of the concubines before the emperor have been given freedom, and some people are still willing to stay in the palace, the reason is that they have been in the harem for half their lives, and they can't adapt to it when they go out.

These remaining concubines have become concubines, and their names are better, but in fact they are just a pair of extra chopsticks in the palace, but fortunately, most of them are self-aware, eat royal food, and accompany the queen mother every day.

For Baili Xian's birthday banquet, they also prepared gifts.

Sending Li Tong to the gate of the palace, Bai Li Ye had to wait in another place, Li Tong pulled his sleeve with some reluctance, she was really scared.

Bai Li Ye smiled and held her hand: "Don't be afraid, I've already arranged it, you follow the naked clothes, talk less, eat more, and you'll be fine." ”

Li Tong looked at the strange surroundings with a bitter face.

The red clothes were still red, but they looked much more delicate and gorgeous than the previous one, she stood there quietly, and finally couldn't help but take a step forward: "Madam, the subordinates will protect you, here are some courtiers' wives, as well as the concubines in the harem, the general can't pass." ”

Li Tong flattened his mouth and reluctantly let go of his hand.

Following the red clothes, they came to a courtyard, where dozens of women in gorgeous clothes were already sitting or standing, and when they saw her coming, they all turned their heads to look at her.

Those eyes fell on her body, some inquired, some doubted, some surprised, Li Tong only felt that her feet were stuck to the ground, and finally she was pulled by naked clothes before continuing to walk forward.

She didn't know any of these women.

This is not to blame her, after all, Li Yintong has never gone out seriously, and because of dementia, he has never participated in any tea party poetry party or anything like that of a young lady or wife.

And naturally, they didn't know her.

"This lady looks at Miansheng, I don't know which official it is?" A lady had the audacity to come over and ask.

With a kind smile on her face, she looked more than ten years older than Li Tong, and she already had gray hair on her sideburns.

"It's the General's wife."

The voice of the red clothes was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear, Li Tong glanced over, those eyes all turned into horror, and the fear that could not be hidden, and the lady who accosted him also shrank back with a smile.

Li Tong scratched his head and said in a low voice: "Our general is so famous?" ”

Chiyi looked up proudly: "That's not it." ”

Li Tong couldn't help but shout in his heart, what is there to be proud of?!

No wonder Bai Liye is not worried that she will have an accident here, and wants her to talk less, what is this less talking? As soon as I heard Baili Ye's name, people didn't come to her at all, okay?

Was his interpersonal relationship so bad in the first half of his life?

She sat there alone, with no one within twenty meters of her as the center.

Li Tong sighed, half of the fruit refreshments on the other people's table had not been gone, and the fruit refreshments on her table had been changed twice.

The old lady never came here.

Li Tong really wanted to meet this open-minded aunt and grandmother, I heard that she had a very close relationship with the emperor, and she was considered a husband and wife.

When the first emperor ascended the throne, it was even more tragic than when the current emperor ascended the throne, and the old queen mother, who was still the crown princess at that time, was held hostage to coerce the first emperor, but unexpectedly, the old queen mother also knew so many kung fu, and seized the opportunity to stab the prince in the heart, and her own neck was almost cut off, leaving a deep scar.

"That was the first time the Queen Mother killed someone, and it was also the last time she killed someone." Nakyi knelt beside Li Tong and poured tea for her.

Li Tong shook his head and sighed: "It's not easy. ”

A woman who can sit firmly in the position of the master of the harem for many years is no weaker than a man who fights on the front line.

"At the beginning, the front line was tight, and the news of the death of the emperor came, and the queen mother didn't even shed a single tear, and immediately ordered half of the imperial city guard to be transferred out. The officials of the court and the central government played one after another, the imperial city guard was tuned, and Yicheng was in danger, but the queen mother said that the border passes could not be guarded, how could this Yicheng be guarded? ”

Li Tong nodded: "This makes sense. ”

"After that, the front and the harem, all the food and clothing are reduced, and the rest are all transported to the front line, and only when the soldiers are well fed and fed, can there be hope of winning." Chiyi began to peel pine nuts for Li Tong again.

Li Tong was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "The Queen Mother has a family and a country in her heart, and she is a righteous person. ”

Chiyi was stunned, and put the peeled pine nuts into the porcelain bowl: "Everyone says that the Queen Mother is unkind, but Mrs. says that she has great righteousness." ”

Li Tong smiled and asked Chiyi: "It is precisely because the Queen Mother loves the former emperor that she will not let his people fall into the hands of others. ”

"That's what Madame said."

"If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the ambition of Prince Xilin and the wolf son will kill well." Li Tong poured the pine nuts that had been peeled off a plate of naked clothes into his mouth.

That action is arrogant, but the red clothes hurt in his heart, damn it, it's hard to peel it off!

When the palace maid came to call someone, Li Tong had already eaten three plates of pine nuts, because the other ladies and palace concubines did not dare to come and talk to her, Li Tong was more free and easy when he left than when he came, and it was too comfortable not to forcibly establish interpersonal relationships.

When Li Tong walked out with the crowd, he happened to see Bai Li Ye standing in the crowd in front of him.

Both of them raised their heads, their eyes staggered, Li Tong grinned, Bai Li Ye was very reserved, and only pursed his lips and raised a little arc.

"The general is waiting for you!" Red Yi muttered in Li Tong's ear at the opportunity.

Li Tong's footsteps paused, and he looked up again, but saw that Bai Li Ye was still looking at her, and his heart moved slightly, something seemed to be pulled.

"He can't come back again." Li Tong squirmed his lips, but his heart was sweet.
