The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is still in the Qianqiu Palace, this time, Shen Yue is sitting next to Muyang, Muyang's position is relatively high, so next to Shen Yue is Su Ruyi.

Su Ruyi was not as enthusiastic as before, and when she saw her, she only saluted lightly and turned around.

Shen Yue was a little surprised, Mu Yang spoke to the six princes next to him, and held Shen Yue's hand under the table, and with this hand, he frowned: "Why is it so cold?" After speaking, he wrapped Shen Yue's hand in his big hand and gave her warmth.

Shen Yue smiled and showed his teeth, and the corners of Muyang's mouth couldn't help but rise: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at my husband." Shen Yue said with a smile.

The sweet interaction between the two, Su Ruyi has always seen it, their positions are not far apart, so Su Ruyi's afterglow can see their every movement, her nails are deeply pinched into the flesh, that was originally her husband, her position, but now she is another woman.

"Ouch, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, you two don't show affection in front of those of us who haven't married yet." The Sixth Prince said.

Mu Yang and Shen Yue looked at each other and smiled.

It didn't take long for the emperor to come over with the Queen Mother, who was in a good mood with a smile on her face.

She sat next to the emperor, her eyes swept around, and fell on Shen Yue's body.

She beckoned to Shen Yue: "Yue'er, come here to your stepmother." ”

Shen Yue smiled sweetly, and then walked over, in front of the civil and military officials and those ladies and ladies, Shen Yue also knew that this was the Queen Mother supporting her.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, but they thought differently in their hearts, most of them sighed that Shen Yue, a village woman, didn't know what luck she had taken, and she was treated so well in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said to Shen Yue gently, Shen Yue made her laugh, and the emperor also interjected a few words in a timely manner, the three of them were happy for a while, and the faces of the people below were a little more solemn, and they all said that Shen Yue was loved by the Queen Mother, and now that she really saw it, she was surprised that she was so fond of it, the emperor had no sisters, only two brothers, and he was also quite kind to Shen Yue, and the ministers began to think about how they wanted to please this princess.

After talking, Shen Yue returned to her seat, and Mu Yang took advantage of the situation to hold her hand.

The emperor and the queen mother both said a few words for today's banquet, and then there was the gift-giving link, starting with the queen and the concubines of the palace, and then the minister's family.

Starting with the queen, then the concubines, after all the concubines present were sent, the emperor said that there was another person, it was his new concubine, the queen mother's face was a little unsightly, Shen Yue was puzzled, and the concubine was so bold that she let the queen mother wait.

At this time, the music sounded, and a group of dancing girls poured in at the door, and began to dance, dancing beautifully, the person in the middle was veiled, and his eyes were hooking, but Shen Yue felt that this person was very familiar.

After the dance, she walked to the middle of the hall, took off the veil, Shen Yue raised her eyebrows, she was really a familiar person, this person turned out to be Lin Meijuan, the daughter of Lin Taishou in Liucheng, the Lin family was copied, she escaped, and now she has become the emperor's concubine, Muyang saw Lin Meijuan also frowned slightly.

"The concubine wishes the Queen Mother a thousand blessings and peace, the concubine is late because she is preparing to dance, and I hope that the Queen Mother and the emperor will atone for their sins." Lin Meijuan said softly, the soft voice could drip water.

The Queen Mother's face was a little better, but her tone was still a little serious: "You don't have to behave like this in the future, you are already my son's concubine, so don't dance in front of outsiders in front of your clothes, what kind of body will you become." ”

Lin Meijuan's little face was slightly pale, and she also had a hint of grievance: "Yes, the concubine knows." ”

Such a beauty, even if she is the emperor with three thousand beauties in the harem, is very soft-hearted, and said to the queen mother: "Concubine Li has just entered the palace, the queen mother should not be so serious, and her son will teach her well." ”

When the queen mother saw that the emperor also spoke, she said: "You can take care of it yourself." ”

Lin Meijuan cast a grateful gaze to the emperor, and her eyes were really soft.

The concubines of the palace were very disdainful of Concubine Li in their hearts, but they did not show it on their faces.

After Concubine Li returned to her position, she looked at Shen Yue, with a hint of arrogance and pride, Shen Yue looked back with a smile, not afraid at all, what if she became a favorite concubine, she had to weigh it herself.

For Shen Yue's gaze, Lin Meijuan was annoyed, if it weren't for Shen Yue, she would have married Muyang a long time ago, so why bother to be with a man who can be her father, although the emperor is handsome, even if he is old, he is only more and more mature, but the person in her heart has always been Muyang.

The next thing is for the princes to give gifts, and Shen Yue saw the emperor's eight princes and two princesses.

The appearance of the eight princes has their own merits, but they are all handsome people, many of the young ladies present saw them secretly blushing, and the eight princes only had the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince married the concubine, and the others did not have a concubine, the two princesses were gentle and demure, one was lively and lovely, their looks were all excellent, and they all looked very likable, and the gifts they gave represented their hearts, and the queen mother also liked the scene of her grandchildren Chenghuan's knees, and she had always been happy.

Shen Yue just told the Queen Mother that her gift would be the last to be given, and the Queen Mother happily agreed.

The things sent by the ladies of the family are more valuable, Su Ruyi sent a picture of longevity embroidered by herself, a picture needs four people and one corner to pull away, the embroiderer is naturally needless to say, it is a more unique gift.

The Queen Mother's expression was only faint, and she said that the Su family had a heart.

Su Ruyi bit her lip slightly and retreated to her seat.

In the end, it was Shen Yue's turn, the Queen Mother was still looking forward to her gift, Shen Yue first took out two well-crafted jewelry, one silver and one jade, both of which were designed by Shen Yue himself, and the style was very delicate and beautiful.

After the Queen Mother took it out, a woman below exclaimed: "This is the latest style of Zhenbao Zhai, designed by the general's wife herself, the only one in the world, and many people can't buy it with a lot of money." ”

The woman's voice was not big or small, just enough for everyone to hear.

The Queen Mother's smiling eyes narrowed: "My Yue'er is really caring." ”

Shen Yue smiled slightly, clapped her hands, and then Mei Xiang and Daisy pushed a wooden cart, which was covered with a red cloth.

When he stopped in the middle, Shen Yue tore off the red cloth, revealing the ten layers of birthday cake inside, the top layer is a huge longevity peach, and the patterns of each layer below are different, this is a style that everyone has never seen, and they all exclaimed, even the Queen Mother also walked down with the support of Aunt Lan, carefully observing the patterns of each layer, each layer is very exquisite, like a separate picture scroll, or three-dimensional, and the Queen Mother can't put it down.

"What is this? Yue'er, why is it so sweet. The emperor also walked down and looked at the cake, which was almost two people high.

"Brother Hui, this is a cake, I specially made it for my stepmother, a unique cake in the world, which can be eaten." Shen Yue said.

The cake emperor and the queen mother have naturally heard of it, after all, the dim sum shop in Xinyue Pavilion is so popular now, but the cake they heard about is only one layer, but now they see a full ten layers.

Shen Yue took out a silver knife and handed it to the Queen Mother: "Mother-in-law, in the people, everyone who celebrates their birthday has to cut the first cake with their own hands." In fact, this is the rule of Shen Yue's previous life.

The Queen Mother was happy: "Okay, then I'll cut it." But looking at the delicate style on the cake, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to start, hesitated for a while, and finally cut off a piece.

The first piece cut off was presented in a delicate plate, the first piece was naturally the Queen Mother's, and the rest was cut off by Mei Xiang and Daisy and distributed to everyone present, the second piece was of course the emperor's, and the last big birthday peach was reserved for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took a bite, the cake was slightly sweet, very in line with her taste, the cream was fragrant and not greasy, it melted in the mouth after a bite, leaving only the residual fragrance, the cake embryo was also sweet and delicious, and the middle was also mixed with clear fruit grains, rough and delicate taste fused together, it was a unique delicacy, and when the Queen Mother came back to her senses, a piece of cake had been eaten, and she ate the separate Shou Tao, the outer layer of the Shou peach was still creamy, but there were some elastic teeth inside, and there was a strong peach aroma.

After eating, the Queen Mother still felt unsatisfied, seeing that her piece of big cake was divided by everyone, she showed a childlike look for the first time, and was a little unhappy, Aunt Lan couldn't help but laugh next to her: "Queen Mother, if you like it, let the princess do it next time and take it into the palace." ”

The Queen Mother was in a much better mood at this time.

Everyone below shared the cake, and they were all very intoxicated.

Even men who don't like sweets eat with relish, and the queen praises again and again: "The royal sister's cake is so delicious." ”

Su Ruyi didn't want to admit that this cake was well done, but she still took one bite after another, and she couldn't stop at all.

Lin Meijuan took a bite, although it was delicious, but there was a trace of disdain in her eyes, it was just some small tricks, and she couldn't get to the elegant hall after all.

After Shen Yue's gift was delivered, the entire hall was filled with a sweet smell, and the sweets made people feel happy, and then everyone really laughed.

At this time, Muyang stood up and offered his gift.

It's a box of beautiful cloaks and jewelry, but it's completely different from the jewelry here.

"When our army defeated the Huns, it was searched in the Xiongnu palace, and my subordinates selected a new cluster to present to the Queen Mother." Mu Yang said in a deep voice.

"Good!" The emperor shouted first, this gift was really delivered to the emperor's heart.

"The gifts given by General Mu and his wife have won the hearts of the mourning family, reward." The Queen Mother also said with a smile.

Shen Yue looked at the jewelry and smiled slightly, originally Muyang asked her if she wanted to keep some, but Shen Yue didn't like the overly rough style of the Huns, so she just opened the box and looked at it, and felt that there were some tricks that could be used for reference.

Among the people present, Su Ruyi and Lin Meijuan both looked at Muyang stupidly, and his figure was unusually tall in their minds at this time.

When the Queen Mother said that she was rewarded, Shen Yue stood up and thanked Muyang together, handsome men and beautiful women, very eye-catching, at this time, she also felt that they were a good match, but in the eyes of Su Ruyi and Lin Meijuan, it was very dazzling.

This banquet, Shen Yue was also responsible for drawing up the menu, in addition to the dishes in front of everyone, there was a small hot pot, which was still boiling at this time.

In the past, eating was not the focus of such a banquet, but at today's banquet, eating has become the focus, and everyone has begun to bury their heads in eating, one bite after another, and the delicious taste blooms on the tip of everyone's tongue.

Eating a sweat, everyone suddenly felt hearty.

Muyang kept scalding Shen Yue's vegetables, and Shen Yue's bowl was almost overwhelmed, so Muyang ate a few bites by himself.

Shen Yue ate the hot pot, looked at Muyang beside him, and felt that his heart was slightly hot.
