Concubine Xian went down, vaguely noticed that there was a hot gaze staring at her, she subconsciously followed the line of sight, only to see a girl slightly bowed her head, quiet and dignified appearance, there was nothing wrong, so she didn't care, supported by the palace maid, slowly walked up to the high platform and sat down.

All the noble ladies hurriedly saluted and congratulated in unison: "I wish Concubine Xian Niangniang a long life." When Concubine Xian heard this, she smiled, very moving, lightly opened her lips, and slowly spoke: "You don't have to be restrained, just get up quickly."

The nobles got up and sat down, the virtuous concubine sat on the high platform, some of the high places were overwhelmed with a sense of sadness, looking at the charming flowers in the next seat, sighing, once upon a time, she also had such a delicate age like a flower?

However, this idea is fleeting, and now her status is not low in the harem, the head of the six concubines, and she is pampered, thinking of this, she smiled elegantly, her voice was like a glass of low-alcohol wine, and said slowly: "Seeing your delicate appearance in this palace, I really sigh that time flies, and the years are not forgiving."

After hearing this, the nobles did not dare to be complacent, but only prevaricated that the virtuous concubine was modest, and the virtuous concubine wanted to maintain her face forever, but she secretly found a lot of methods, what palace secret recipes, folk remedies.

Now her face is like that twenty-eight girl, delicate and watery, Danfeng's eyes are slightly raised, hooking out all kinds of tenderness and charm, she is so humble, who dares to answer?

Concubine Xian nodded with satisfaction, and was about to have some fun, only to hear the eunuch's high-pitched feminine voice sound, "The emperor has arrived at ......"

Concubine Xian was overjoyed, and all the nobles were even more surprised, I didn't expect that on Concubine Xian's birthday, I would be lucky to see the emperor's true face, it was really a blessing for three lives, but the face of the Son of Heaven could not be looked at directly, so I had to make a big salute, "The courtiers meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, the golden dragon on his chest was mighty and domineering, he strode and walked with meteors, followed by a group of eunuchs with dust in their hands and palace maids holding honor guards, and when he walked to the high platform, he first helped up the virtuous concubine who still maintained the appearance of saluting, stared at the virtuous concubine with dark and deep eyes, and said slowly after a long time: "Aifei get up quickly, today you are the protagonist." The voice is not happy or angry, but indifferent and deep.

Concubine Xian had long been accustomed to the emperor's lukewarm attitude, got up and looked at him with affectionate eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine never thought that you would come, which really surprised the concubine."

After hearing this, the emperor only smiled heartily, staring at Concubine Xian tightly with his eagle eyes, but the words in his mouth were extremely affectionate, "Today is the Fangchen banquet of the concubine, I naturally want to come, and I will not waste the relationship between you and my husband and wife for many years." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yonghai, a close eunuch who followed behind, took a few steps forward, holding a mahogany lacquered sandalwood plate, and the emperor personally lifted the red cloth covered, which was a string of full particles of the Dongzhu necklace, which was not valuable, but from the emperor's hand, it looked extremely noble.

Therefore, Concubine Xian smiled with her eyes, touched the Dongzhu with her hand, couldn't put it down, raised her eyes to hook a charming eye wave, and said softly: "Thank you for the emperor's reward, the concubine is very happy."

The emperor just smiled lightly and shook his head, Zhang Yonghai took a plate from the little eunuch's hand, opened it and took a look, it turned out to be a seal, the red seal is the only one that can be used by the concubine, the virtuous concubine was stunned, and looked at the emperor with her eyes inexplicably, according to her current concubine position, where can she surpass the use of the concubine seal.

The emperor only sighed, "Yaxian, the queen's health has always been poor, lingering on the bed all the year round, I know all the contributions you have made to my harem over the years, so I give you this concubine seal, I hope you will help the queen to manage the harem." ”

Concubine Xian hung her head shyly, a trace of cruelty crossed her eyes, the emperor chose to give her the seal of the concubine at her Fangchen banquet in front of everyone's eyes, if it was introduced to the ears of the Zhonghuang Palace, it would be another taste, the emperor really was really rewarded for her hard work in managing the harem, or did he have other intentions?

The nobles only know that the virtuous concubine is constantly favored, and now she has been given the seal of the concubine by His Majesty, which is really in the limelight and no one can compare.

The emperor sat down, and then waved to the nobles who sat down, and said indifferently: "Get up."

The indifferent and majestic male voice, low and with a unique charm, although the emperor is already not confused, but that face is incomparably handsome and majestic, if the knife carves the ghost-like facial features, you can still see the handsome appearance of youth, and the stunning gaze on his face makes all the nobles admire it even more.

The emperor leaned back in his chair and said quietly: "Then, let's start." It is to let those noble ladies express themselves, Concubine Xian sat next to the emperor with a smile, her eyes were the shadow of the emperor, and nothing else.

The first to play was Wei Guogong's daughter-in-law, Wei Linglan, she moved the lotus step lightly, saluted the emperor's virtuous concubine, and said: "The courtiers are willing to play a song to congratulate the virtuous concubine Niangniang Fangchen."

The emperor agreed, so the eunuchs moved on the piano stand, she sat down suddenly, her eyes were like water, with tenderness, jade fingers like onions, caressing the strings, the pleasant sound of the piano sounded, the sound of the piano was sometimes as warm and slow as a clear spring, sometimes as majestic and rapid as a waterfall, the sound of the piano lingered and compassionate, like crying and complaining, like a girl sometimes happy and sometimes sad, everyone was intoxicated in it, difficult to extricate themselves.

At the end of the song, the emperor nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "Miss Wei has a heart."

Wei Linglan hung his head shyly, responded in a low voice, did not dare to be proud, and slowly sat down, with Wei Linglan's initiative to present a song, so all the nobles rushed up, only to see Hua Ningzhi, the daughter of Prime Minister Hua, who was gentle and delicate, and her gestures were all generous and decent, "The courtiers want to dance for the virtuous concubine." ”

Then, "The courtier's daughter Fang Ruge wants to compose a song for the virtuous concubine." ”

"The courtier's daughter Rong Chudie is willing to compose a poem for the virtuous concubine."

The emperor has always had a salty and indifferent look, looking at the talent shows of these noble girls, he casually retracted his gaze, staring into the distance, not knowing what to think.

Princess Luxiang rolled her eyes, she already had a plan, she got up to face the emperor, smiled Yan Yan, and said: "Father, you have to take a look at Miss Ye Si's paintings, the son asked Miss Ye to paint, she didn't have time to show it, why don't you let her paint on the spot, and my wish will be granted."

"Oh, really?" The emperor narrowed his eagle eyes, his eyes shot a fine light, sat up straight, frowned and thought for a while, his eyebrows eased, and said quietly: "Since Luxiang said this, Miss Ye Si will attend to paint a painting for me to see."

Ye Hao had no choice but to leave the table, walked to the center, saluted the emperor and the virtuous concubine with a calm face, and said slowly: "Courtier Ye Hao, meet the emperor, long live long live, long live the mother."

The emperor raised his eyes to look at her, the girl looked neither humble nor arrogant, her face was delicate, her eyes were clear and a little innocent, and she seemed to be shy, bowing her head, like a little girl, he frowned and thought, this is Ye Meng's daughter, Bian Jing's famous straw bag vulgar girl?

It's just a wooden little girl, thinking of this, he looked at Ye Hao's gaze and inquired a little, is Ye Meng's daughter a straw bag as rumored?

The eunuch had already prepared the easel and white paper, and Ye Hao walked to the easel, and her mind already had a countermeasure, let her paint ugly?

Then, she really wanted to behave well, holding a paintbrush in her hand, hanging her head, drawing carefully, after a while, she raised her head, her eyes were gloomy, and said: "The courtiers have finished painting, and they implore the emperor and Niangniang Haihan."

The eunuch waited for her to finish painting, stepped forward to look at the still wet ink, waited for a while, and then carefully carried the corner of the white paper with his hand, and the other carried the other side, holding it diagonally and looking at the emperor, only to see a white piece of paper, a few strokes outlined a beautiful woman appreciating flowers.

The palace beauty is holding a peach blossom in her hand, her eyebrows are picturesque, Danfeng's eyes are full of tenderness, with a light smile, staring ahead, and the clear-eyed person knows that the beauty in the painting is the virtuous concubine.

In the upper right corner of the blank space of the white paper, a line of words is mentioned in hairpin flowers, and the peach blossoms on the human face are red.

In fact, Ye Hao's painting skills have never been good, so she chose to paint Concubine Xian, even if she only painted a little bit of her charm? Whoever dares to find fault with her painting is against Concubine Xian, no one will be so stupid, but will praise this painting and please Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian was full of tears, looking at the beautiful woman enjoying the flowers with feeling, and inadvertently remembered her appearance when she was young, such a delicate age, and smiled with some relief: "It's hard for Miss Ye Si to have a heart, this painting is very fond of this palace."

The emperor looked at her sideways, and also sighed, stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Xian's Rouyi tightly, and comforted: "Unconsciously, Concubine Ai has been with me for so many years, I am really very pleased."

Concubine Xian burst into laughter, held the emperor's big hand with her backhand, and said coquettishly: "With the emperor's words, the concubines feel that it is enough."

On the high stage, the emperor and Concubine Xian were playing a deep circus, but Ye Hao was still standing in place, silent, with a wooden expression.

The emperor saw it in his eyes, and sighed secretly, this Ye Zhen is not a straw bag as rumored, her painting skills are obviously not good, but she knows how to promote her strengths and avoid weaknesses, and she painted a virtuous concubine, who dares to pick a thorn and say that it is not good?

is really an opportunistic girl, and after she was praised, she still had a wooden look, not sad or happy, not arrogant or humble, but she pretended to be stunned to cover her edge?

So, the emperor's face was happy, and he simply said heartily: "I see that this Miss Ye Si is talented, gentle and demure, smart and clever, and graceful, and she is very happy, so I am named the lord of Jiamin, and I am here!" After the emperor finished speaking, he stared at Ye Hao quietly with eagle eyes to see if her expression at this time was as he expected.

The nobles were in an uproar, and even the virtuous concubine was very puzzled, just by virtue of a painting to win the emperor's eyes, the beautiful thing of being canonized as the county lord has never been heard of, what is the emperor calculating? What is the purpose?

"Ah, courtier, thank you, Lord Longen!" Ye Hao hurriedly opened her mouth excitedly, her voice even trembled slightly, as if she was really happy for the title of this county lord, her face was full of joy, but her eyes were calm, unfazed, and her heart was like a mirror.

The emperor is just testing whether she is the same as she is on the outside, she is a straw bag image in everyone's impression, and now the emperor is suspicious, and deliberately uses the canonization of the county lord to test her reaction, if she accepts it calmly and treats it calmly, the emperor will inevitably be more taboo about her, thinking that she is very deep.

Only by showing the innocent side of a normal girl in a timely manner and being ecstatic, can the emperor be a little relieved, thinking that she is just a young girl who does not know the world.

Sure enough, she made the right bet, only to see the emperor's gaze retracted, and said lightly: "In this way, Zhang Yonghai will go to Yefu to read the holy decree later." When the emperor saw Ye Hao's ecstatic and unbelievable appearance, he let down his guard a little, thinking that she was just a smart girl.
