When night falls, the night sky is full of stars and the royal court is lit up.

Twenty-one years. The Queen Mother remembered Liu Li's birthday for the first time, and she had to hold a birthday banquet for him, whether it was true or not.

The Lantern Festival has just passed, and this is the first festive day in the palace.

The lights are dim, the people are full, the wine is fragrant with flowers, and the moon is white into the human skin. The banquet was given to the nobles of the palace, and the concubines raised their talents and offered their talents, competing for beauty, and there was a scene of harmony and joy on the outside, and an atmosphere of eager competition on the inside.

The Queen Mother ignored Liu Li tonight, and did not conspire with Liu Zhong to kill the design, but only visited the palace with good life.

"Lance let me be optimistic about a few suspicious people in the palace, and someone reported that Lianzi looked chattering today, it seems that several concubines in the harem should be tempted and tempted!" The Queen Mother looked at the little plum beside her and ordered: "Pass the order, let the Yingyan who came to congratulate prepare for the talent show, and the mourning family must really see your sincerity!"

Xiao Lizi nodded and smiled, went down to speak, and explained to the guards to stare at the concubines.

Xue Ze expected this in Zuiyue Xuan, but she didn't know how to deal with it yet, after all, what the Queen Mother wanted was to play on the spot.

What happened before the green water also caused Xue Ze a headache, so she appeased the blue water, and she was about to face the queen mother, and her mind was really difficult.

Lianzi helped Xue Ze, sat in the second position of the first row, and whispered in her ear: "The Queen Mother wants every female guest and concubine to contribute their talents and plans, and sincerely congratulate the emperor in the name of it! Next, be careful!"

"I know!" Xue Ze calmly drank a cup of tea, quietly looked at everyone present, and said in his heart: There are no less than fifteen female guests and prominent concubines who are here today, can you leave me what I am good at?

Before long, Liu Li came slowly and smiled at the guests present.

Everyone got up to greet them, and Liu Li looked at Xue Ze when everyone was looking down, and then smiled sweetly.

The Queen Mother saw everything in her eyes, and was very unhappy in her heart: Is it really as rumored that the emperor favored Xue Concubine last night? Then in the future, how can I stir up the harem?

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Liu Li watched everyone sit down, then walked to the side of the Queen Mother, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you for your trouble, Queen Mother, and prepare for your son's birthday at such a busy time!"

The Queen Mother shook her head gently, "If you say this, it will make the Queen Mother ashamed! Over the years, the Queen Mother has given you too few birthdays, how can you miss this great opportunity to atone for your sins?"

"Then thank you to the Queen Mother!"

Liu Li sat down calmly, ignoring the subtle atmosphere here, and not caring about the stares cast by others.

The singing and dancing in the hall is beautiful, and it is always not in Liu Li's eyes. The Queen Mother sat on a high place, occasionally looking at the eldest prince who was drinking indifferently, and occasionally talking to Liu Zhong without a few words.

Liu Li stared at Xue Ze with a smile as if deliberately, and even the Queen Mother didn't pay attention to it. His gentle gaze and doting smile are enviable and complicated in every inch and every bit.

Even the guests who are indifferent to Xue Ze and Liu Li have to sigh when they see this scene: The emperor, who was not close to women in the past, will eventually fall into the emotional quagmire one day!

Xue Ze sat nervously, his eyes did not squint, his mood did not change, and he tried his best to pretend to be light and light, but it still made Liu Li blush.

"Lotus seeds!"

"Master, what's the matter?"

Xue Ze coughed, "You stand here and cover up for me!"

"Cover?" Lianzi lowered her head and smiled, moving to Xue Ze's side, deliberately blocking Liu Li's field of vision. "I'm afraid this is trying to cover up!"

Xue Ze took a deep breath, poured himself a glass of wine, and was about to drink something to suppress his shock, but was stopped by Liu Yi.

"Xue Concubine, slow down!" Liu Yi sat diagonally opposite Xue Ze and pulled Liu Zhong opposite her up. "I see that you and your second brother are drinking alone, which is a little unfestive. Legend has it that you two have studied poetry quite a lot, so why don't you do poetry together?"

Liu Zhong was stunned and looked at Xue Ze stupidly. "If the third brother and Xue Concubine don't dislike it, I feel very honored!"

"The second prince is serious!" Xue Ze stood up with a smile, ignoring Liu Li's sudden gaze, and thought in his heart: It just so happened that there was no talent to show, the eldest prince asked me to be the first to come, and I chose poetry, which really relieved me!

Liu Li pinched the wine glass, the smile suddenly dissipated, and he snorted, "Is this still my birthday feast?"

"Hahaha!" The Queen Mother laughed a few times and explained to everyone: "Forgive me, the emperor of the mourning family is not easy to meet his sweetheart, and he will lose himself when he encounters." As soon as Concubine Xue was about to write a poem with the second prince, the emperor frowned and was displeased, this is really cute!"

Xue Ze was stunned for a moment, looked at everyone in the hall covering their mouths and smiling, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu Zhong was unwilling to back down, so he simply stood in the hall with a smile and sent the singers and dancers away.

"Third brother, today is your birthday, we are all here to congratulate sincerely! The second brother has gifts, but they are not enough to make the third brother laugh happily and be full of joy!" Liu Zhong turned his head to look at Xue Ze and said with a smile: "If you can compose poems on your birthday, it will be an interesting thing, of great significance and novelty. Besides, I have a good relationship with Xue Concubine in poetry, and I don't think I will disappoint you!"

Liu Li coughed and said coldly: "Poetry has always been loved by literati, and I have long heard that the second brother is talented, so I guess I can perfect the poetry by myself, right?"

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, intending to convince her. "Why doesn't the emperor want to let Concubine Xue with you?

"Xue Concubine!" Liu Li smiled happily, looked at Xue Ze and said, "Xue Concubine has given me the best gift, don't bother her anymore! Besides, she has always disliked being lively, and her lyrics in public must not be very suitable!"

Liu Yi glanced at Liu Li, smiled and sighed: "How come I have a vinegar bottle brother?!"

"Your Majesty!" Xue Ze stepped out of his seat and bowed slightly. "Today is the blessing of the Queen Mother and all the guests, we should do our best, the concubines are not worried about others!

Liu Zhong lowered his head and smiled, and called someone to get a pen and paper. Liu Li snorted coldly, stood up, and walked straight to Xue Ze's side.

"Aifei!"

Xue Ze looked at Liu Li in surprise, and then responded. "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Do you have to give one more gift today?"

Xue Ze frowned, she didn't know that Liu Li had spread the news of pampering her all over the harem, she just wanted to offer a talent earlier so that the Queen Mother would be impeccable.

"Your Majesty, isn't it good to have multiple gifts?"

"Of course it's not too much, but it's better for me to come by myself!" Liu Li smiled slightly, held Xue Ze's waist, and lowered his head to kiss it.

This scene shocked everyone, and time seemed to have frozen.

Seeing this, Lianzi lowered her head and snickered, and she was the only one present who was the happiest and calmest. Others, the female guests covered their eyes, the male guests sighed, and the concubines were either surprised or jealous.

Liu Zhong was so angry that his face changed color, brushed his sleeves away, sat on the seat and drank a glass of wine directly. Seeing this, Liu Yi lowered his head and smiled, and sighed: "Love, poison!"

"Your Majesty!" Xue Ze pushed Liu Li away, thousands of words condensed in his throat, and finally sat back with a cold face and red ears.

Liu Li smiled slightly, did not look at Liu Zhong provocatively, but apologized to everyone. "Guys, I'm really sorry, I thought I was a birthday star tonight, so I behaved a little debauched!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said nothing, but a few ministers praised him: "The emperor is really temperamental, and there is no need to apologize! Ministers, congratulations to the emperor on finding a "lover"! I also hope that the emperor will have a dragon heir as soon as possible, and he will prosper Beihua!"

Liu Li smiled slightly, "Do you want a dragon heir again?"

"Yes, the emperor has finally met a tempting woman! Xue Concubine is gentle and virtuous, and she can take on the matter of giving birth to a dragon child!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, I have long heard that Miss Nangong is not ordinary, it seems that it is not as simple as a talented girl!

Liu Li saw that Xue Ze's face was already red, and he didn't say much. These ministers always like to ask him for a dragon heir, but today's meeting made him full of joy.

Listening to the ministers in the hall, the Queen Mother glanced at Liu Li with a little dissatisfaction, and then ended the topic.

At this time, if everyone is allowed to discuss, then tonight's theme will be deviated, and her purpose will not be achieved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is young and vigorous, and this kind of thing is left to themselves! The harem concubines all have thousands of appearances, and they hope that the emperor will be wet with rain and dew!" "Tonight, for the sake of new fun, the mourning family has prepared a small event!"

"Yes!" Xiao Lizi walked to the center and read out the rules, and the hall was suddenly lively.

"Female guest performance, then we are blessed today!"

"The female guests present are all full of talents, this birthday banquet is really very interesting!"

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was very satisfied, and smiled and waited for the first person to perform. "Since everyone knows the rules and has no objection to this, let the first person come to the hall!" 14
