Today is the emperor's birthday.

Feng Xiying got up in the middle of the night to tinker with her cake.

Painting was unreliable, so Feng Xiying found all kinds of nuts and fruits to spread on the cake, although it was far from his expectations, but it was finally completed.

Feng Xiying framed the cake and put ice cubes on the bottom before going back to wash.

Now that it's winter, it shouldn't be a problem to preserve this cake.

After breakfast, Feng Xiying entered the palace with Feng Chenning.

The officials congratulated the birthday in the previous court, and Feng Xiying went to the harem with other officials.

The queen had already prepared tea and wine, and was sitting in the garden at the moment, a group of people were lively and lively, but it was also very comfortable.

Feng Xiying just sat in her seat and drank tea, as low-key as possible.

As a guest of honor, Helenla is the first to the right of the queen.

After greeting everyone one by one, the queen said to the maidservant next to her: "Why didn't you see a shadow today?" ”

The maid saluted back: "Miss Feng is in the rear, the slave maid will go and invite." ”

Feng Xiying was tinkering with new tea in her position, and the maidservant came over to summon her.

Feng Xiying turned her head to look over, the queen was looking at her with a smile, and Helian La next to her was also looking at this side curiously.

Feng Xiying once again asked Qing He to confirm that his makeup did not have flowers, and then he stepped forward to ask for peace.

"The courtiers meet the queen." Feng Xiying pinched her throat and said hello.

The queen looked puzzled and asked, "Shadow, are you feeling unwell?" ”

Feng Xiying still lowered her head, "I was too excited last night, I didn't sleep well, so I didn't get in the way." ”

The queen looked at her distressedly, "How do you look like a child?" Hurry up. ”

Feng Xiying stood up and still lowered her head, and listened to the queen say: "Princess Helian, this is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Xiying, intelligent, and your age is the same, you will definitely be able to play in one place." ”

Feng Xiying felt that her temples jumped suddenly, it was hard to say whether she could play in one place, but it was possible to hit one place.

Princess Xingyue had just finished her busy work, and came forward to see Feng Xiying also there, "Uncle Huang, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Feng Xiying felt that the sweat was about to flow down after hearing this, and replied: "The princess is cautious." ”

"It's all your own family, what are you doing outside? I didn't take a good look at you last time, so you can raise your head and let me take a closer look. Princess Xingyue jumped up to Feng Xiying and said.

"If the courtiers are ugly, they will not stain the eyes of the nobles." Feng Xiying politely refused.

The queen smiled: "What did you say? Raise your head, so that Princess Helian can recognize her face. ”

"If you collide with a distinguished guest, the queen can't blame me." Feng Xiying was vaccinated in advance.

"What nonsense, raise your head." The queen didn't know what tricks Feng Xiying was playing, but she was still used to it.

Feng Xiying raised her head twistedly, and Princess Xingyue screamed when she saw it, and even Princess Helian's face became ugly.

The queen exclaimed: "Shadow, your face..."

"This is the makeup that the courtiers have spent hours painting carefully, is it too beautiful?" Feng Xiying asked innocently with a wink.

The first person in the ghost beauty pageant was Feng Xiying.

Her face was as white as flour at this time, her eyebrows were thick and long, the red of her cheeks was very rough, and with the bright red lips, she really felt like a.

The queen has seen the world in the end, and quickly reacted: "Ying'er, this palace thinks that your makeup is beautiful, but it is a little thick, why don't you let the maid change your makeup again?" ”

Feng Xiying immediately pretended to be happy and said: "Since the queen has said that it is beautiful, it will be thicker, after all, today is a special day." ”

Princess Xingyue finally reacted, holding her stomach and laughing: "Queen Mother, she is like this, you still say that she is beautiful, and those who don't know still think that my Tiansheng aesthetic is distorted." ”

The queen said angrily: "What do children know, don't talk nonsense." ”

Helian La couldn't help but laugh: "Today can be regarded as an eye-opener, and I really can't keep up with the fashion of the Heavenly Sage." ”

The queen's face was also a little unbearable, and she was about to open her mouth when she heard Feng Xiying say: "Princess Helian is really right, my Heavenly Saint Sea is tolerant of all rivers, and I am extremely inclusive, not to mention makeup, even if it is in other aspects, I am afraid that it will not be beyond the reach of Ina." ”

"You are presumptuous!" Helian La patted the table and stood up, pointed at Feng Xiying's nose and shouted.

The queen smiled and gave Feng Xiying a look, and then said to Helian La: "Princess Helian don't be angry, Ying'er is usually spoiled by the palace, and she speaks casually, but in the end, it is her true temperament, so don't worry about her." ”

Helenla looked aggrieved, feeling that his country was said to be inferior to others, and he couldn't be angry? Is the theory still stingy?

But since the queen opened her mouth to protect Feng Xiying, Helian La could only suffer this loss.

Feng Xiying saw that the queen stabilized the scene, and saluted: "If there are no other instructions, the courtiers will return to the throne first." ”

The queen waved her hand, and Feng Xiying hurriedly ran back to her position.

Helian La's eyes stared at Feng Xiying, thinking that when she got the opportunity, she had to teach this woman who didn't know what to do.

This time, the queen set up pastimes such as mahjong and Go, and a group of women gathered together to chatter and play cards, and quickly passed the time.

Finally, when it was time for dinner, the emperor's birthday banquet was set up in the main hall, and when the time came, a large group of people were already seated and waiting.

After about a stick of incense, the emperor appeared with the empress.

Hundreds of officials knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live the queen." ”

Feng Xiying sat down and knelt down, and heard a majestic voice say, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

After thanking the saint, the hundred officials stood up one after another, and the emperor and empress sat down before saying, "Aiqing, sit down." ”

After everyone was seated, the dishes began to be served, and the performances were performed one after another.

The meal was almost over, and the princes took the lead and began to offer gifts.

Most of the gifts are rare but not particularly pleasantly surprised.

When it was Helenla's turn, she stepped forward to salute the emperor and said, "The country of Ina offers a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of mink, fifty zircons, and the dance of Ina to congratulate the Emperor of Heaven on his birthday." ”

"Princess Helian has bothered, I have heard that the dance of Ina is full of pride, and I am very happy to see it today." The emperor responded with a smile.

Helenla bowed, and with a wave of his hand, several men appeared wearing masks and holding wooden utensils.

Helenla took a wooden sword handed over by his servant, and he actually wanted to perform in person.

The emperor was quite happy about this, and the smile on his face deepened, and he waited with his ministers to watch the sword dance.

Listening to the sound of the majestic drums, Helenla and the others danced to the beat of the drums, which seemed simple, but there was a deep sense of order.

The dense drum beat continued, Helian La flew up and down with a wooden sword in his hand, although it was a woman's movements, it was clean and neat, it could be seen that he was a practitioner, this dance of yin and yang was different from the softness of the heavenly sage, and it had a special taste.

As the drum beat became more and more concentrated, Helian pulled the wooden sword and waved, and the others spread out a piece of golden silk paper, and Helian La wrote hard, and there was gold leaf flying in the air, and it was displayed in front of everyone's eyes after the writing, causing repeated admiration.

Helian La used a wooden sword as a pen to remove the gold layer of the silk paper, revealing a big longevity character.

Not to mention the effect, even this kung fu is worthy of everyone's admiration.

Tick the word on the paper, not only to be able to write the word accurately, but also to write beautifully.

The silk paper is brittle and thin, if you use too much force at once, the paper will be broken, but if it is light, it can not fully present the word, in addition to the control of the strength, it is necessary for the writer to be cautious.

After watching the performance, the emperor stood up and applauded, and the ministers hurriedly stood up, and the emperor laughed a few times before saying: "Princess Helian's congratulatory gift is really surprising, come and reward!" ”

Helian thanked the emperor for his gift, and said with some pride: "If there is a chance, Ina still has many unique skills waiting to be presented to the emperor." ”

The emperor was naturally clear about the meaning of her words, "In this way, I will ask Princess Helian to stay in the Heavenly Sage for a while longer, so that I can see some new things, and the princess can also see the excellence of the Heavenly Sage." ”

Helenla nodded slightly, then turned around and sat down.

This dance is said to be a birthday celebration, but it is actually to show Ina's national strength.

Gold and silver treasures are not shown, Helian La, as a woman, and his noble status can have such skills, let alone a good man in Ina?

Helenla just wanted the Heavenly Sage to see that the country of Ina was not only not bad in terms of economy, but also in terms of force.

After that, the officials continued to give gifts, but they all felt a little uneasy.

When Feng Xiying brought the cake up, the atmosphere was finally better.

The emperor looked at this behemoth and asked curiously, "Miss Feng, what kind of novelty is this?" ”

Feng Xiying saluted and said: "Back to the emperor, this is called a cake, the six layers mean six or six Shun, and the nuts and fruits on the cake are common food for the people, which means that the whole world celebrates." ”

"It's a celebration all over the world, well said, come on, give this cake to everyone here to taste, Miss Feng is attentive, reward!" The emperor laughed and said.

After a while, the palace people presented the cake to everyone's table, and the emperor took a bite and said with a smile: "This taste is very unique, Miss Feng can use this ordinary thing to make such a delicious thing, she is really smart." ”

Helenla frowned slightly and looked at the cake in front of her, what kind of flowers could be conjured into ordinary flatbreads and ingredients. She picked up the spoon and scooped a small piece into her mouth, but her eyes suddenly widened.

This flatbread is soft and dense, mixed with finely chopped fruits of various colors, the taste is very rich, and this white thing is actually very sweet, Helenla couldn't help but ask, "What is this white?" ”

Feng Xiying said: "That's cream, it's made from egg whites. ”

"This is the egg white?" Princess Xingyue couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's just that it takes a lot of work." Feng Xiying replied.

The queen didn't eat the cake, but after listening to their words, she couldn't help but try it, and then exclaimed: "Ying'er is not only smart, but also has such good craftsmanship, the prime minister is really blessed." ”

Feng Chenning stood up and said with a smile: "The queen praises it falsely, the little girl is naughty, she always loves to study these novelties, and she can't afford these compliments." ”

The emperor laughed when he heard this: "Why can't you bear it, I see that the queen has not praised enough." I like Miss Feng's congratulatory gift very much, what congratulatory gift did the queen prepare? ”

When the queen saw that the emperor suddenly asked herself, she stood up with a smile and said, "Speaking of this congratulatory gift, I have to ask Princess Helian to comment on it." ”

After the queen finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the subordinates brought a white cloth, and Helianla sneered: "The queen is going to make a few new clothes for the emperor?" ”

The emperor's face was a little unpleasant, but it was still not graceful: "The queen has other gifts?" ”

The queen smiled and shook her head, "This is the congratulatory gift of the concubine, the emperor is not in a hurry." ”

After speaking, he was helped by the palace man to walk to the white cloth, and then took a huge brush and put it a little above the white cloth.

Everyone was puzzled, puzzled by the queen's movements, and stared at the white cloth.

The water on the tip of the pen smeared on the cloth, and many characters began to appear at once.

Yushi's sharp eyes saw it, and exclaimed: "This is the scene when Taizu first built the country. ”

The emperor listened and took two steps forward, then looked at it carefully for a while, and said happily: "Sure enough!" ”

The queen waited for the water stains on it to be almost smudged, and took up a new water stain on the white cloth, repeating it a few times, everyone could be regarded as coherent, and the white cloth presented was actually the major events of the Heavenly Sage since the founding of the country.

The more the emperor looked at it, the more excited he became, and there were tears in his eyes.

After a while, the scene faded away, and finally the white cloth was clean again.

"The queen really understands my heart!" The emperor himself walked down the steps and stood in front of the queen.

The queen replied with a smile, "The concubine's congratulatory gift has not been completed yet." ”

After saying that, I changed a brush, and although everyone couldn't understand the difference, they were also looking forward to it.

With a stroke of the queen's pen, the picture of the heavenly saint was slowly presented on the white cloth, and the queen handed the pen to the next person, knelt down and said: "The heavenly saint is eternal, and the emperor is blessed with gold and peace!" ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "The Heavenly Sage is eternal, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

Helenla looked at the map on the white cloth, and her face was terrifyingly dark, but when she saw that all the people around her knelt down, she followed the etiquette of Ina Country.

I wanted to show Ina's strength, but I didn't want to be slapped in the face.

It is also calligraphy to celebrate her birthday, but this queen actually used the simplest white cloth and brush to defeat the sword dance she had painstakingly prepared.

This magnificent picture of the rivers and mountains is simply different from Helianla's longevity.

The emperor excitedly helped the queen up, and said repeatedly: "It is a blessing for the heavenly saint to have a queen, and it is even more fortunate that I can marry you, a virtuous queen!" ”

The queen bowed dignified and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise." ”

"What does Princess Helian think of the queen's congratulatory gift compared to your sword dance?" The emperor returned to his seat with the queen, looked at Helenla and asked.

"The queen's congratulatory gift is novel and atmospheric, worthy of being a model of women in the world, her vision and insight are really extraordinary, and Helianla admires it." People are under the eaves, endure her first.

The emperor laughed when he heard this, "Princess Helian's congratulatory gift is not bad, come!" Aiqing, let's raise a glass and drink this glass of wine. ”

The ministers raised their wine glasses and shouted again: "Long live the emperor, the queen mother is the world, and the thousand autumns are auspicious." ”

The queen has given the heavenly saint a long face, and the officials said this sentence so really and loudly.

The banquet continued, and the singing and dancing began again.

Feng Xiying raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the appearance of the emperor and the queen Qin Se and Ming, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

It was really boring to sit for a while, so Feng Xiying left the banquet under the pretext of excuse.
