() My birthday is on the fifteenth day of May, since the news that Luo Xi is going to do my birthday for me came out, the crowd of people who came to pay respects at the threshold of the Wanyi Hall began to flow endlessly, and the ears did not have a day of leisure, whether it was the first-class lady outside the palace to the third-class lady, or the palace was as noble as the queen, low to the face of the mother, all of them came to accompany the smile and congratulate and send generous gifts. Although Feng Shuyi didn't get along with me in the past, she had to work this kind of façade.

I was tired physically and mentally from following the rules every day, and finally survived until these two days, Qiu Si and Dong Xue also understood what I meant, basically shirking what I could do, and hiding when I could hide.

It is also instructed to place a broken jade gilt brocade carved chaise longue under the window porch, and lay a layer of goose feather brocade silk cushion on it, and the person lies on it covered with a thin tufted gold silk mixed woven duck down blanket, which is very comfortable, looking at the peach petals falling from the sky, blue and dark red, dyed incense sleeves, drunk among the flowers, cold smoke and green, dense layers, like a morning glow.

The whole Wanyi Hall is very busy, I am alone here to steal half a day of leisure, the scenery is quiet, lazy and silent, there seems to be a shallow and familiar footsteps approaching, the air is mixed with a touch of manly breath, I don't have to think much to know that it is him, I deliberately pretended not to be aware of it on a whim, still lying down, see what he wants.

Luo Xi sat beside me, about to lie down, the breeze came, through the fragrance of the petals, the kiss snaked from the forehead to the lips, I hurriedly straightened up and pushed him away and said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”

His eyes were full of smiles, and he scratched the bridge of my nose, "What are you afraid of, I haven't seen you afraid of me when I was serving in the imperial study before?" ”

I pursed my lips embarrassedly, lowered my head and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty knows how to bully others." ”

He leaned closer to his face, "Today's complexion is good, and tomorrow will be beautiful." ”

I asked, "Hasn't Your Majesty always disliked luxury?" ”

Luo Xi said affectionately: "Tomorrow is your birthday, so naturally it will be different from usual." ”

I smiled and nodded.

Luo Xi seemed to have a little secret look on his face, stared at me with a smile for a long time, and as soon as he raised his hand, dozens of fathers-in-law came in, all of them raised their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, looking very respectful, and they all held wooden trays in their hands, all of which were covered with red cloths.

I was a little confused, so I looked at him and asked, "Your Majesty, what are these?" ”

He smiled at me, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and waved his hand, and the red cloth covering the tray was carefully torn open by the fathers-in-law. I realized that he had personally received a congratulatory gift today, a gold leaf hook, a plate of colorful agate broken jade, and a pair of silk carpets with five blessings in the heart of the contract, a pillow of Ruyi blood jade, a white fox fur pendant with incense inlaid with glazed stones, two pairs of concentric jade bracelets, a pair of warm breeze finches and feathers of Xiaoxiang clothes on behalf of Qing silk, three volumes of pure gold King Kong by hand, a box of jade goose piping cream, ten boxes of hookah bath salts, and nine horses of new clothing of various colors.

Although I felt extravagant, I was still happy, and I said with a smile: "Thinking that my family is also a big family, I haven't even seen these things, Your Majesty has given them to me today, so I'm not afraid that one day I will go to the other palaces and sisters to be troubled and settle accounts?" ”

He reached out and took the feather and put it lightly on my shoulder, and said, "This blue and gold light shines very well for you, and I will wear this on my birthday tomorrow." ”

I said prettyly: "If I wear this tomorrow, there will be an uproar in the main hall, and the sisters in the palace will also be jealous, Your Majesty should be in peace." ”

Luo Xi leaned his chin on my shoulder and said softly, "They eat their vinegar, what do you have to do with it?" ”

I asked curiously, "Isn't Your Majesty not afraid at all?" ”

He chuckled and said, "What do I fear, at most, I won't see them for a few months." ”

I quipped: "There are three thousand harems, and I haven't seen him for a few months, doesn't Your Majesty want to miss it?" ”

He stared at me and said, "It's enough for me to have you, and as for the other people in the harem, I have no choice but to deal with them." ”

Luo Xi's words couldn't help but remind me of the queen, and I felt sad for her in my heart.

For me, the grandeur given by the emperor is still prosperous, and life is wrapped in soft fragrance and gold and jade, and it is natural to be happy, but behind this joy there is inevitably a faint worry.

Sitting on the supreme glory of the world, the days are full of brilliance, I am afraid that I am on the edge of the cliff but ignorance, the slightest careless stumble is a thousand years of hatred. Even I don't know the cause and effect of being favored, I'm afraid it's just a momentary prosperity, a momentary joy. I also know the truth that the full moon is lost, and the water is overflowing, but if Luo Xi's heart is true to me, I don't care about those worldly truths that are rotten.

But the only thing I'm afraid of is everything I'm enjoying now, it's very likely that Luo Xi transferred all his honor and favor to me because he had nowhere to vent his guilt for another person, if so, I am really at a loss, and it's really ironic.

But no matter how reluctant I am to worry about it, I have entered this deep palace and the imperial court, and many things are beyond my own will.

I asked lightly: "Your Majesty's words come from the heart?" ”

Luo Xi looked at me with a smile and said, "Naturally." His eyes were so earnest that I couldn't help but believe him.

I said: "Miao's heart for Your Majesty is also true, as long as Your Majesty does not live up to Miao, MiaoMiao will never be negative." ”

The feast of the birthday is opened in the Qingzhong Hall of Wanyue Garden, the ground is covered with glazed colored bricks, a hall is graceful and gorgeous, golden and brilliant, the emerald green wall is carved with gold and jade with exquisite dragon circling nine days and phoenix in Fei two kinds of patterns, the four warped corners on the built-in eaves are tied with a pure gold wind chime tassel, a light breeze blows, the wind chime will naturally send out the pleasant sound of "Ding Ding Ling Ling", the clear and incomparable, as if the fairy stepped on the auspicious clouds and stroked a hand of the strings outside the sky, Outside the eaves corridor, there is also a white tile flying stream, sandwiched by a hundred-year-old cangshu, which seems to be uneven, but in fact it is scattered, every tree and leaf is cultivated, pruned delicately and without losing attention.

Almost all the palace ministers with heads and faces have led their respective families to come, and the hall is full of overlapping figures, and I can't help but hovering between the concubine and the wife, full of smiles, bees and butterflies dancing, I can't be leisurely for a moment, and I don't care about what kind of waves are hidden behind the smiles on my face. I was so busy that I regretted holding such a big birthday feast, and I missed my chaise longue that had been forgotten under the peach blossom tree.

After the grandiose congratulatory message is finished, the well-dressed people also see it, the sonorous sound of silk and bamboo sounded leisurely, the dancer wearing a dazzling white embroidered red plum dance dress, holding a petal-like peach silk fan, dancing lightly, the body is as light as a swallow, the limbs are soft as clouds, the arms are stretched as if there are no bones, and the graceful dance posture is like a lotus step by step, such as a butterfly flying among the flowers, and like a swallow nesting, more than a magpie bird night terror.

This is the first time that Lord Rong has brought Xiangxiang into the palace to attend such a grand feast, I feel that her state has recovered very well, probably she doesn't know about the entanglement between Lord Rong and the princess, in fact, I am not ready to tell her, I don't know but it is good, sometimes it is a kind of happiness to live a little confused.

Xiangxiang sat on the seat, his face was more calm and tactful, as if there was no ripple on the surface of the windless water, and now Xiangxiang is no longer the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky.

Halfway through the wine, the singing and dancing have been changed three times, most of them are those tunes that have been rehearsed all day, nothing new, I have seen everyone, my eyes involuntarily looked at Feng Shuyi, she happened to smile at me, I naturally knew what she meant.

Last night, the stars in the night sky were like broken gold sprinkled on the dark blue cloth, crystal clear, shining brightly, just when I was intoxicated by this picturesque artistic conception, Qiu Si told me that Feng Shuyi came to the Wanyi Palace, and suddenly a gust of night wind penetrated, and her back was very cold. She came in with a smile on her face, but I didn't feel a trace of kindness, "Sister Zhaoyi's promise to my sister some time ago, I don't know if my sister still remembers?" ”

The favors owed must be repaid after all, and I have nothing to shirk," I naturally remembered. ”

Feng Shuyi smiled faintly, "Your Majesty specially held such a grand banquet for my sister's birthday, my sister is really favored by Your Majesty and envied others, but my sister is not as good as my sister's blessing, and I look forward to my sister leaving a soup to drink while eating delicacies from the mountains and seas." ”

I pursed the corners of my lips lightly, "Is my sister disgusting me with this?" ”

Feng Shuyi said: "How dare you." ”

I smiled, "Shuyi has nothing to dare to, I never thought of competing with everyone in the harem for any favor, but even if I told my sister what I said, and it was sincere, you may not believe it when you think about your sister." ”

Feng Shuyi said: "If my sister says so, then my sister will definitely agree to my sister's next request." ”

I looked up at her, "As long as I can, there's nothing I can't agree to, you say, what do you want?" ”

Feng Shuyi said: "My sister wants to sing a song at tomorrow's banquet, my sister may agree?" ”

I smiled lightly, "Everyone knows that my sister's singing voice is one out of ten thousand, and my sister wants to make a big show at my sister's banquet tomorrow and leave a deep impression on Your Majesty." ”

Feng Shuyi blessed her body and smiled: "Sister is so calculating. ”

Just thinking about it, I saw Luo Xi coming towards me and said, "This finch feather is really not wrong, the hall is full of bees and butterflies, but only if you wear it can it be regarded as complementing each other," his body leaned towards me again, and his voice was low, "Miao Miao is beautiful today." ”

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of beauties today, there are Mrs. Decree who are out of the cabinet, and there are also Miss Wanggong who have not been out of the cabinet, can you take a fancy to them?" ”

Luo Xi stared at me tightly, and after a while, he ordered: "Meng Zhaoyi is a little drunk, go and get some melons and fruits to relieve the hangover." ”

The palace maid hurriedly held all kinds of fresh fruits that had just been poured in the well, and the ice and snow-like mixed-color crystal platter was filled with tangerine, watermelon bright red, peach powder, and grape crystal purple. I glanced at it and said, "Although today's song and dance are exquisite, but there is no heart, it is a family banquet, and everyone here is a relative, why don't you come and play some light and novelty?" ”

Luo Xi returned to his seat and said with a smile: "Today is your stage, you can tell me what you think." ”

I said: "There are many sisters in the harem, except for Shen Jieyu, who is still grounded, the rest of the sisters are here, since they can serve Your Majesty, they must have their own strengths, why don't you let the harem sisters take this opportunity to show their strengths in front of Your Majesty?" ”

The queen thought for a moment and said, "Will this lose the royal solemnity?" ”

I smiled and said: "Recently, there have always been rumors outside that I dominate Your Majesty, the fox charms the lord, and I am so jealous that I don't give the other sisters in the harem a chance. ”

Luo Xi nodded and said, "This idea sounds very interesting to me, so let's follow what Meng Zhaoyi said." ”

I smiled and said: "I'll say okay first, most of the other sisters in the harem have some strengths, but I don't have any skills that I can master, it's really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, so I thought about it for a while, no matter what the harem sisters want to come up to perform, regardless of whether it's good or bad, I will give a small pearl to show my heart, Your Majesty said okay?" ”

Luo Xi looked at me with a smile, "Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, you say that this little woman is not smart, and she gave her what I gave her in the past, but now she is her own favor." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty has rewarded me, it is mine," my eyes rolled slightly, "so that the sisters of the palace can be a little happy." ”

Luo Xi said: "It's all up to you." ”

Zhuang Jieyu said on the side: "Then if you are not proficient in learning, or if you collide with your previous skills, can you also go on if you want to?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's not about choosing the champion, how can it be so strict, it's just a good time, naturally you can, even if you are not proficient in fur, you always know something." ”

The banquet was also held for most of the day, and the music of Qin Se was also very tired of listening, the harem concubines have always tried their best to compete for favor, and today I saw me propose this, I felt that it was interesting, but also had the intention of winning the first place to attract Luo Xi to take a look, and whispered to the palace maids around him, looking eager to try.

Zhuang Jieyu's piano meaning is unparalleled in the world, the queen ordered her to play a song "Yulin Bell", the beautiful and agile sound of the piano flows out from between the fingers, like a silk wandering through the heart, soft and quiet, soft and comfortable, euphemistic and continuous, like a mountain spring winding from the valley, slowly flowing.

The queen is peaceful, no fighting heart, only take the pen and ink with a big stroke of the pen and water, the pen is like a cloud of smoke, the achievement of a couplet, two palace maids and one person slowly unfolded, everyone saw it and praised, the upper link is: people are like the stars in the sky, and the lower link is: the spring to the feast before the cypress wine. The font seems to be flamboyant and domineering, but in fact it is not restrained at all, and the whole line is down, like a fairy-like indulgence, coming and going without a trace.

Feng Shuyi stepped forward slowly, her hands slightly fisted, "Zhuang Jieyu and the queen are really in front of the jade, I don't have any skills, I can only sing a song." ”

I smiled and said, "Feng Shuyi doesn't have to be too humble, everyone knows that Feng Shuyi's singing voice is like a song of a warbler, and I am fortunate to hear it today, which can be regarded as stained with His Majesty's light." ”

Luo Xi looked at me affectionately and said, "Today is your birthday feast, and this idea was thought up again, so naturally I have touched your light." ”

The queen smiled: "No matter who touches whom's light, I feel that her voice is very delicate when I talk to Feng Shuyi on weekdays, and today I am also curious to listen to and appreciate." ”

Zhuang Jieyu said: "I don't know which song my sister wants to sing?" ”

Feng Shuyi raised her eyebrows, "Oh? He smiled again, "Isn't it possible for my sister to accompany me?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu said: "I haven't practiced for a long time, my piano skills have long been rusty, I was already embarrassed just now, how can I accompany my sister now, I am afraid that my sister's tactful singing voice will be tarnished." ”

Feng Shuyi said gently: "I have just heard the sound of Zhuang Jieyu's piano, and I only feel that there is no match in the world. ”

I said: "In this case, Zhuang Jieyu is a companion for Feng Shuyi, and it is okay." ”

Zhuang Jieyu glanced at me, lowered her eyes and said, "Then I have to be ugly again." ”

Feng Shuyi said: "I only sing the song "Partridge Sky". ”

I chuckled, "Partridge day."

Blowing through the smoke into the night wind.

A bright moon on the curtain.

Because the road is far away, people are still far away, and they have to sleep together.

Affection, meaning.

Biyun returned and recognized nowhere to be found.

should only be able to cage the mandarin ducks in two places in the previous life. ”

Luo Xi said: "Go and get the first concubine's Luoxia Qin." "Busy with the father-in-law, Luo Xi led me to the qin I saw in the concubine's dormitory that day. The first concubine was fortunate to be in the emperor's past, and on the day the concubine entered the palace, the emperor gave a piano name "Luoxia" and a flute name "Lonely Bird" as a thing of love. After the first concubine went, this piano and flute were left in the palace and preserved to this day.

Zhuang Jieyu tried the tone twice, and then looked at me confidently.

I smiled and nodded.

Music up, song up. Feng Shuyi's singing voice is as graceful and melodious as a lark, with beautiful melodies, colorful preludes, and plump harmonies, singing the beauty of spring and autumn, the unforgettable of summer and winter, and also singing with strong affection and lingering compassion, which makes people willing to linger and sink in her singing. After a few turns, it is one level higher, and there are three or four stacks in succession, rising one after another. At first glance, the Aolai Peak cut the wall and did it, thinking that it was connected with the sky, and when it turned to the top of the Aolai Peak, the more dangerous it became, the more dangerous it became, the more dangerous it became. After Feng Shuyi sang to a very high three or four stacks, she fell suddenly, and tried her best to carry out her spirit of twists and turns, like a flying snake circling and interspersing in the middle waist of the thirty-six peaks of Huangshan. In an instant, the circle turned several times. Then, the lower and lower the singing, the lower and thinner the voice, gradually became inaudible......

Finish the music, finish the song.

I was intoxicated, as a woman, I was a little moved, my eyes couldn't help but look at Luo Xi, thinking that he must be poured for him, but I didn't want him to have no special changes on his face, his expression was the same as listening to Zhuang Jieyu's piano sound and the couplets of appreciating the queen before, but he lowered his eyes and said: "Not bad." ”

Feng Shuyi's face was embarrassed, and she was even a little puzzled, she was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did she come back to her senses and saluted: "Carving insect skills, Your Majesty Bo just smiled." ”

Luo Xi thought for a while, "Today's main lord is not me. ”

Feng Shuyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives you." Naturally, this song also wants to make Bomeng Zhaoyi smile. ”

I smiled and said, "My sister is smart and can sing songs that others can't, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, I've already fallen for my sister's singing voice." ”

Feng Shuyi said softly: "Thank you sister for your praise, and thanks to Zhuang Jieyu's beautiful piano playing, the singing, piano sound, and word meaning complement each other." ”

Zhuang Jieyu blessed her body and said: "Shuyi is polite, I'm just helping each other, it's nothing." With that, he retreated.

Luo Xi nodded, glanced at Feng Shuyi again, and said lightly: "Reward." Without looking at her again, Feng Shuyi lost her mind for a moment, and then gave a bow and retreated silently.
