Three days passed, the queen mother's birthday banquet was held as scheduled, the emperor congratulated the queen mother on her birthday with the ministers, and for a time the staggered planning, singing and dancing were leveled, it was really lively, and the queen mother smiled from ear to ear.

Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu and Yan Qinglan were all at the banquet. Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yu are the grandsons of the Queen Mother, and their positions are naturally at the front. Yan Qinglan is the prince of Yanjun, and he has only moved a few positions back. It was Xie Chang'an, because this Rong'an Hou Mansion had stood on the wrong side before, although the torrent retreated bravely, but the emperor had a bad heart and did not reuse Rong'an Hou, so this position was much behind.

Xiao Yu looked at Xie Changan from afar and laughed at Yan Yan with other young ladies in the distance, and couldn't hold back and left the position to find Xie Changan, but was quickly pulled by Xiao Yuanyan, Xiao Yu was aggrieved and muttered: "Big brother, I want to go to Chang'an!" Xiao Yuan said helplessly: "Yu'er, you will go to Chang'an, the imperial grandmother will be unhappy, how can you scold Chang'an for a while?" ”

Yan Qinglan was looking at Xie Changan intently at this time, her smile was still so gentle and moving, I saw that "Xie Changning" didn't know what to say to the young lady of the imperial historian, she shyly covered her handkerchief and smiled gently, Yan Qinglan's heart throbbed. Xie Changan felt the burning gaze and looked up to see Yan Qinglan who was looking at her infatuatedly, and her face turned red, becoming more and more shy.

The Queen Mother was condescending and saw the situation clearly. Seeing Yan Qinglan and "Xie Changan" who were flirting with their eyebrows, and Xiao Yu who was entangled with Xiao Yuan on the side, he was angry for a while. When there is nothing to do on weekdays, the Queen Mother also likes to listen to some interesting stories in the capital, no, I don't know who told the Queen Mother that Xiao Yu likes the eldest lady of Rong'an Houfu, it is a beautiful thing, and the young lady of Rong'an Houjia has a marriage contract with the prince of Yanjun. The Queen Mother has always been distressed about Xiao Yu, who broke her brain, and seeing that Xiao Yu couldn't compete with Yan Qinglan, she was actually annoyed by "Xie Changning", feeling that Xie Changning didn't know the inspection point, and she was engaged to seduce the ignorant Xiao Yu. She feels that a childlike like Xiao Yu is easy to be used by people with a heart. At that moment, the Queen Mother wanted to cure this "Xie Changning".

At this time, the queen sipped tea, and the sound of the piano in her ears was bursting, and she couldn't help but think of Xie Changning, who played "Yuntai Tune" for herself at her birthday banquet...... The queen inadvertently glanced at the emperor who was laughing with the queen mother, and recently the emperor revealed that he intended to reuse the Xie family, so that he would become a good thing for the Xie family! The queen thought for a moment, and proposed with a smile: "Queen Mother, today is so lively, I see that the eldest lady of the Rong'an Hou Mansion is also here today, why don't you ask her to play a song for the queen mother, what do you think, queen mother?" ”

The Queen Mother wanted to treat this "Xie Changning", but she was worried that she didn't find a suitable reason, and the queen's words hit the heart of the Queen Mother, and immediately nodded and agreed: "This is very good." Hearing this, the queen glanced at Gong Li who was waiting on the side, and Gong Li understood, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Please invite Miss Xie of Rong'an Houfu to play a song for the Queen Mother." ”

Everyone was quiet, and their eyes turned to "Xie Changning". Even though he had been prepared, Xie Changan was still frightened, and glanced at Yan Qinglan, who was looking forward to it and implying worry, Xie Changan sighed secretly in his heart, and then walked out calmly, saluting: "Today's birthday of the Queen Mother, the courtiers originally intended to perform a song for the Queen Mother, but two days ago, the courtiers accidentally injured their hands, and today I am afraid that they will not be able to perform for the Queen Mother......" Xie Changan's words fell, so he lowered his head.

The queen felt a pity, and she didn't want to embarrass her, and just wanted to open her mouth to let her return to the throne, but she heard the queen mother say coldly: "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Rong'an is the crown of the capital, is it possible that a talented woman can only do it with piano skills?" This is unwilling to congratulate my wife on her birthday! The Queen Mother finally found an opportunity, how could she easily let go of this "Xie Changning".

Xie Changan heard that the Queen Mother had buttoned such a big hat for herself, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please let the Queen Mother calm her anger!" The courtiers had no such intention, and asked the Queen Mother to calm her anger...... "but she smiled bitterly in her heart, she was really as the Queen Mother said, and she couldn't do anything." It's just that now is not the time to be arrogant, looking at the situation, the Queen Mother will not let herself go easily, but I don't know when she will make the Queen Mother so angry? Now, what is the best ......

Rong Anhou on the side was frightened into a cold sweat, and was hesitating whether to go out to intercede for Xie Changan, but remembered what Mrs. Xie said, if it wasn't a matter of life and death, let Xie Changan solve it by himself...... Rong Anhou had to be anxious on the sidelines.

Xiao Yu saw that the Queen Mother scolded Xie Chang'an, and immediately became anxious, thinking about coming out to intercede for Xie Chang'an, but was stopped by Xiao Yuanqiang and said: "If you go to intercede for Xie Chang'an, the imperial grandmother will scold Xie Chang'an even harder, can you still go?" Xiao Yu was anxious, but he didn't dare to move. Yan Qinglan on the side was distressed and weak "Xie Changning" was scolded by the Queen Mother in public, and stood up without thinking, knelt beside Xie Changan, and pleaded: "Queen Mother, Miss Xie's hand is indeed injured...... Today, let Qinglan play a song for the Queen Mother instead of Miss Xie! ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the anxious Xiao Yu and Yan Qinglan, who interceded for Xie Changning, and was even more annoyed in her heart, this Xie Changning had only one face, and he was fascinated by these two people! It's not that she, the old woman, wants to deliberately make things difficult for this Xie Changning, but that this Xie Changning has no skills to do in addition to his piano skills, how can he afford to be the first talented woman in the capital?

The Queen Mother was thinking about opening her mouth to give this so-called talented woman a big hat that was not worthy of the name, so that she would have no cheekiness to come out to meet people, but she heard "Xie Changning" speak: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are willing to dance for the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than the south!" ”

When the Queen Mother heard the music, she thought to herself, Miss Xie wants to dance in public compared to a lowly maiko, what is she not allowed, and immediately bowed her head. The queen on the side was disappointed when she saw this, how could this eldest lady of the Xie family practice herself like this? And Yan Qinglan, who was kneeling beside Xie Changning, secretly said in her heart that it was bad, what her mother valued most was her reputation, and if her mother knew about it, she was afraid that she would make trouble again.

Just when everyone was thinking differently, Xie Changan set his eyes on the queen and said, "Queen Mother, the courtiers dare to ask you for a sword!" Xie Changan knew that the queen was born in a family of military generals, and there were many swords in the dowry.

When everyone at the banquet heard Xie Chang'an's words, they were dumbfounded, they had never seen anyone dancing with a sword at the royal birthday banquet, and besides, they had heard for a long time that Xie Changning had followed the rules since he was a child, but he was a standard lady, and he made such a request today, which was really incomprehensible, and there were many discussions for a while.

The queen was a little disappointed when she heard Xie Changning say that she was going to dance, but when she saw her begging for a sword from herself, she immediately understood in her heart, felt a little comforted, and looked at the queen mother with an inexplicable look, and immediately ordered someone to get the sword.

Not long after, the guards brought the queen's Fengming sword and handed it to Xie Changan. Xie Changan saw that this sword had the same name as the piano given to him by Yan Qinglan, his heart was a little calm, he stabilized his mind, and pulled out the sword from the sheath.

When everyone was looking at the sword, Xie Changan had already danced with the sword, Xie Changan had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the soft and charming road of the maiko was completely different, the Fengming sword was danced coldly, the sword was pressing, and for a while everyone unconsciously took a few steps back, for fear that Xie Changan would accidentally hurt the pond fish. On the other hand, Xie Chang'an's whole person burst out with a different brilliance, heroic, like a pine and bamboo, and it was really difficult for everyone to combine the heroic "Xie Changning" in front of them with the gentle "Xie Changan" in the past, but they felt that these were clearly two people......

Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked thoughtfully at Xie Chang'an, who was dancing with a sword. Xiao Yu was very surprised, Xie Changan has become more and more strange recently, which makes him very uncomfortable, but now this is the real Xie Changan in front of him, it is the Xie Changan he likes, he can't help but want to exclaim, but he remembered that Xie Changan didn't let him call her Chang'an......

And Yan Qinglan was very surprised, he didn't want such a weak "Xie Changning" to dance his sword so happily and chicly, so that he couldn't recognize this as Xie Changning who he was very happy with for a while. Looking at "Xie Changning", who was immersed in sword dancing and couldn't extricate himself, Yan Qinglan felt that although the heroic Xie Changan was very dazzling, he still preferred the little girl who bowed her head shyly at the beginning. The mood was inexplicable.

After the dance, Xie Changan was drenched in sweat for a while, but his mood was unusually happy, and he held the sword and congratulated again: "The courtiers are ugly, I wish the Queen Mother a long life and a long blessing!" ”

The Queen Mother saw that this "Xie Changning" had some ability, and at this time she looked unpretentious and a little refreshing, and she didn't want to be embarrassed anymore: "Miss Xie is a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" The queen naturally liked such a high-spirited "Xie Changning" very much, and immediately smiled: "This 'Fengming Sword' is like living in your hands, and the mourning family will reward you!" ”

Xie Changan did not shirk either, and said respectfully: "The courtier, Queen Xie, is rewarded." Seeing that the Queen Mother no longer embarrassed herself, but also got the Queen's Fengming Sword, she breathed a sigh of relief. Rong Anhou's heart on the side also relaxed, but he was quite annoyed, today's "Xie Changning" is so abnormal, it can't help but cause people to investigate......

After the banquet, the queen mother was old and tired, so the emperor accompanied the queen mother back to the palace to rest. The ministers dispersed, and the sons of the family, the young lady and a handful of women were taken by the queen to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, which was also an opportunity for the young people to look at each other......
