The place where the dinner was held was still the palace built on the mountain, and you could vaguely see a corner of the cornice in the woods on the hillside, and the temperature was a little hotter in early summer, but there was still a chill after the sun went down.

"The palace is so beautiful, much more beautiful than the Nanyue Palace." Mengmeng came for the first time, holding Ling'er's hand and looking at it.

"I don't come here very often, it's farther away, but the scenery is beautiful." Ling'er is also feeling the beauty created by artificiality combined with nature.

"There are a lot of peach trees in the palace, and there are all peach trees here." It's like she's seen something new.

"Well, the queen mother likes peaches, and my father has turned the palace into a peach forest. The maids of the queen mother are also called peaches, you see my little peach heart, which was pointed out to me by the queen mother when I was a child. Ling'er glanced back at Little Peach Heart, and led Mengmeng to continue walking.

"Now I understand, the mother likes it naturally, it's excellent." Meng Meng didn't forget to make a sycophant.

"It's all green peaches in this season, and there are no peach blossoms to see." Ling'er glanced at the peach tree, but she couldn't see anything good.

"Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days. Peach blossoms are also beautiful once a year. Meng Meng was also full of emotion, sighed, and the two entered the inner hall together.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Imperial Princess, here are the male guests, and your female guests are over there." The little eunuch at the door said respectfully.

"Is the colt here?" Ling'er turned her face to ask him.

"The slave didn't see the concubine, is His Highness looking for the concubine?" The little eunuch raised his face and asked.

"If you don't look for it, I'll just ask casually." Ling'er took Meng Meng to the direction of the female guest.

"Today is still divided into male and female guests......" Ling'er felt inexplicable, it was so clear to have a birthday, and there were not many people.

When the two of them walked to the female guest, the queen mother had already sat there, no one sat next to her, it was estimated that it was reserved for Ling'er, no matter how big the person was here, it couldn't be bigger than the prince, Mengmeng sat next to Ling'er, and there were a few princesses at hand, and then there was Grandma Zhang Da Shao, Yuan Mo came early, and when she saw that the queen was sitting there and chatting with the princesses, she didn't dare to move, and the maid led her to the end of the seat, and after Ling'er brought Mengmeng to come, she only dared to look and didn't dare to get up to say hello.

"I'm here, look, there." Meng Meng saw the silent Mo in the corner.

"It's true, she's sitting alone and the two of us are here, and we can't talk." Ling'er looked at the queen: "Queen Mother, Erchen and the Sixth Prince Concubine want to sit and chat with Grandma Zhang. ”

"Just call her here, she's very reserved there." The queen didn't take it seriously, and then chatted with the princess on the side.

Ling'er turned her head to look at the little peach heart standing behind: "You just say the queen's will, let Grandma Zhang Da Shao come and sit in front, and give her a seat between me and Mengmeng." ”

When Xiao Taoxin heard this, she went to run an errand, and after a while, the three of them sat together, although it was a little crowded, it was better than Yuan Mo sitting there by herself.

"I knew I was waiting for you at the door, I came early by myself, Niang Niang is sitting here, I don't dare to come out when I sit in that corner." Mo whispered.

"We don't know when you'll arrive, next time before my wedding, you go to find Mengmeng in advance, and you can come to watch the ceremony together." Ling'er leaned her head on Yuan Mo's shoulder, put her arm around her, and the three of them hooked their heads together and chatted.

"Where will Meng Meng stay when she comes back?" Mimo asked.

"We seem to live in Proton Mansion, there are rooms there, and we can't live there even if we don't finish there." Mengmeng only arrived today, and she didn't know, "I gave you and the Nanyue gift that Bao'er brought, and I will send someone to your house tomorrow." ”

"Thank you first, princess, I embroidered a lot of baby clothes for you, and someone will ask him to bring them back tomorrow." Mimo held a hand.

"I have a birthday and don't have a gift from me?" Ling'er lost her temper when she heard it.

"Yes, I brought it today." Yuan Mo took out the gift for Ling'er: "This is your baby's underwear in the future." I don't know what to give you, it's all stitched by myself, I can't catch up with the show girl in the palace, and Ling'er can't look down on anything else, I really don't know what to send. ”

"You, since you became a mother, you know the baby's underwear, you look at this stitch, come back to blind your eyes, I think you still came to the palace to be a female official for me earlier, there are so many things at home, I can still see it with my eyes." Ling'er actually likes that gift very much, and feels too hurtful to her eyes, she feels sorry for her, thinking that she is also soft in gold and silver, this is really her intention, and she is showing off.

"Ling'er, Ling'er, Princess Gong called you." The queen mother poked Ling'er with her hand, and Ling'er hurriedly raised her head and looked confused.

"Your Royal Highness, this is Shi Zhongcheng's wife to send me to the mansion and let the concubine bring it to His Highness's birthday." Princess Gong brought a large gift box to Ling'er, and Shi Mi's mother asked her to give gifts, what could it be! Ling'er's face was already not good-looking, and she opened it on the spot to take a look, and inside were the gifts that Shi Mi gave to herself one by one, those bracelets, hairpins, and the like, were a set of whole heads, colorful jade texture.

"What does this mean?" Ling'er asked Princess Gong with a face.

Princess Gong saw Ling'er's face and stood up in fright and knelt down: "Your Highness, the concubine is entrusted by someone to give a gift, Mrs. Shi and I are childhood best friends, the concubine will take it back and return it to her, Your Highness don't be angry, disturb Your Highness's interest and cause the concubine to be killed." ”

"Your Highness, here's a letter." Xiao Taoxin lowered her head and whispered to Ling'er.

Ling'er took it out and opened it to see that it was written by Shi Mi, he was really ghostly!

Ling'er:

I heard that your birthday is coming, I will give you the head jewelry that my ancestors have passed down to my wife, I have no one else to give it except you, you take it, don't cure anyone's crime, don't be angry, the birthday star can't be angry, I can't go to see you now, I will prove my innocence to you in the future.

Love your Shimi

Ling'er threw away the letter and said to Princess Gong: "Auntie, please get up, don't send things for others next time." ”

"The concubine saw that His Royal Highness had a very happy conversation with his girlfriend, and felt that His Royal Highness could understand the concubine's feelings of giving gifts to her girlfriend, and she was crying at my house, and the concubine couldn't bear it." Princess Gong knelt and did not dare to get up.

"It's not a big deal, but isn't this Shi Zhongcheng cut off relations with his son? Still in contact? Sending someone to deliver something? The queen spoke, and Princess Gong didn't expect the matter to be said to be serious all of a sudden.

"Shi Zhongcheng broke off the relationship with his son, Mrs. Shi also broke off the relationship, her son sent someone to send something, he should think that there would be no big problem, her son kept saying that he was wronged, saying that he wanted to prove his innocence and then return to his parents. The concubine deserved to die, and the concubine brought this back, but she still came to her door and never came back again. Princess Gong knelt down and came to get it.

"Keep it, I'll see how he proves his innocence." Ling'er felt that it was not good-looking for her birthday to be troubled like this, so she asked Princess Gong to help her up and send her home.

"It's a spoiling interest!" Ling'er sat down, and the banquet continued.

"Ling'er, why bother to be like her, I'm still hanging under her name, I look like a fool, being used as a gunman." Meng Meng was also angry for Ling'er, "The birthday gift I brought you, do you like it, this is a treasure of Nanyue, Zhuge Ke said that he wanted to make a big wedding gift, I didn't let it, this is my birthday gift to you." He asked him to study it by himself, but he didn't have the money to ask his father for it anyway. Meng Meng opened the gift box as she spoke, and the lights of the dinner party were dim, and they sparkled when they were opened.

"Pearl of the Night?" Ling'er's eyes widened.

"Yes, Pearl of the Night." Meng Meng looked at Ling'er's expression and knew that it was the right one, Ling'er was surprised!

The surrounding ladies also exclaimed, everyone is also a prince and noble, and the night pearl has only heard of it, and this is the first time I have seen it.

"It's hard to be the sixth princess, this is a treasure in Nanyue." The queen is a person who has seen the world, and it is the first time she has seen this thing.

"It was given to me by His Majesty Nanyue at the time of the wedding. Ling'er is my noble and benefactor, and I don't know what to give her for her birthday and wedding. Presumably she likes this. "Meng Meng is blessed with the queen's mother, which is considered etiquette.

"You have a heart, Ling'er, this thing is the only one in the world." The queen said with a smile.

"Mengmeng, you sent me, what should you do when you come back to your Nanyue Majesty?" Ling'er was a little worried.

"If you have sent me, I have the right to dispose of it. There are two treasures in the world, and there is a night pearl in the hands of my Nanyue princess. Meng Meng replied.

"It turns out that this treasure is a pair, not one." The queen was also surprised.

"Thank you." Ling'er happily picked up the bead, and the tentacles were warm, it was really beautiful.

"The six princesses are generous, presumably the six princes are also favored in Nanyue, and the six princesses are also favored." The queen mother likes this cute and cute very much, and the life of the palace for a year, she is still the same as when she left, her face is full of aura, which shows that her life in the palace is still satisfactory.

"His Majesty Nanyue and the Queen Mother love us." Meng Meng lowered her head.

"Sit down, Ling'er is happy, although the palace and her father love her, we really don't have such treasures." The queen asked the servant to take the beads in Ling'er's hand and come to her to take a look, "This treasure is really the first time I've seen it." ”

"If the queen mother likes it, she should be a courtier, and she will honor you." Ling'er also likes to see the queen.

"This palace does not win people's love." The queen mother put the night pearl in Ling'er's hand again: "Put it away." Silly girl, stupid person, stupid blessing. ”

"Queen Mother~~ It's also a whole birthday, and you still laugh at me." Ling'er didn't care about others and began to be coquettish.

"Okay, look at your birthday, your aunts and sisters-in-law come to celebrate your birthday, and this palace will entertain you, so you can chat with your girlfriends, go, and toast everyone." The queen asked Ling'er to start toasting.

The banquet continued, and halfway through, Xiao Taoxin ran Ling'er and said in her ear: "Your Highness, Yang Hao just came to say that the pavilion where the horse met before was waiting for you." ”

Ling'er nodded, turned her face to the queen and said, "Queen Mother, the retainer goes out to breathe." ”

Then she turned her face to Mengmeng and said to Yuanmo: "I'll go out for a while and come back later." ”

When she went out from the corner gate, she saw Yang Hao waiting for her: "Your Highness, the master of the horse asked the slave to wait for you, afraid that you would get lost, so I will take you over." ”

Ling'er didn't say much, and walked all the way with Yanghao, and saw Ah Jue standing in the pavilion with his hand back to her, Ling'er went alone, and Yanghao stood not far outside.

"Ah Jue...," Ling'er called him.

Ah Jue turned around, obviously after some dressing, today's clothes look extremely handsome, if you want to be filial piety, white does make people look a lot more handsome.

"Lady, do you like it?" Ah Jue asked Ling'er with a smile.

"Naughty, what are you calling me for?" Ling'er stepped forward and took his hand.

"Do you remember that? The last time I met you alone here, I begged me not to be a colt. Ah Jue took Ling'er's hand and took her into his arms.

"Remember, at that time, you were bent on going to the northern frontier." Ling'er stopped holding hands, hugged his waist, and lay on top of him.

"You see, this is also a gift from my mother to me that day, saying that it was a token of love given to her by my father, and she didn't have anything good to give us, only this one." Ah Jue took out a small box and opened it to show Ling'er, a pair of jade bracelets and bloodstone bracelets.

"Mother's heart, thank you really for her, why didn't you tell me that day." Ling'er felt a little sad.

"It's okay, I'll see you again in the future. Then, Ling'er, are you willing to accompany me for the rest of my life? After Ah Jue finished speaking, he knelt on one knee and looked at Ling'er with expectant little eyes.

"I won't talk to you," Ling'er paused for a moment, "Who else can I talk to!" ”

"You're going to scare me!" Ah Jue shook his head with a smile, and Ling'er helped him up.

"Who did you learn from and get down on one knee." Ling'er was curious: "A couple for a lifetime." ”

"Zhuge Ke taught me, saying that it is the custom of marriage proposal in Nanyue." Ah Jue replied: "I also want to give you a different feeling, do you like it?" ”

"I like it, as long as it's you, I like it." Ling'er pulled him back, the banquet was almost over, and he couldn't come out for too long, and when he went back at night, there was time to be sweet "Do you know that Meng Meng gave me a treasure of Nanyue today, the pearl of the night; I didn't give me a lot of small clothes that my baby would wear in the future. ”

"Really? The little birthday star received a lot of gifts. Ah Jue led her back.

"I'll go back and open your letter at night, I still have a lot to tell you, don't sleep at night, wait until I go back and talk to you." Ling'er was a little snub to Ah Jue when she was with Mengmeng today, and she really missed him at this time, and wanted to tell him what happened just now.

"Got it, don't worry, I'll go back and wait for you." Ah Jue sent her to the side door of the female guest, and then went back to the male guest herself.

The queen saw that she was so happy when she came back, and what gift was still in her hand and handed it to Xiao Taoxin, and hurriedly asked, "I went to see the master of the horse, I am so happy." ”

"Queen Mother, don't say it." Ling'er doesn't deny it either.

"Look at it, I forgot my mother when I had a colt." The queen laughed at Ling'er's appearance when she had just returned from a date. "The banquet will be over in a while, you are not allowed to run around anymore, and you can go back and have a good chat with the colt in the evening."

"Erchen knows." Ling'er sat honestly in her seat.

"You've written on your face that you went out to see the colt." Meng Meng looked at Ling'er and laughed at her.

"It's good that all three of us have found our favorite destinations. It's lucky. Yuan Mo looked at Ling'er and sighed.

"Yes, the three of us are lucky." Ling'er thought about it and raised her glass and drank a glass of wine: "Come, I wish us all a lifetime and a couple, every year and today!" ”
